Another 20 programs are now available, and this time, these are more difficult to classify as they are more obscure and small programs (some of them Homebrew from the early 80s):

Re: Lots of German Spectrum games/programs preserved, all the German users, HELP identifying and classifying them
Thanks, Einar!
Yes, some of them are already in the archive, but for example Boxe is MIA, so it could be uploaded already
I have to also load some of the others, as I think that by loading them we can find some authors that are not yet mentioned

Lots of German Spectrum games/programs preserved, all the German users, HELP identifying and classifying them
Hi there! Or should I say Hallo Leute :) We have managed to preserved LOTS of german tapes containing a lot of programs like type-ins, homebrew, MIAs and the likes :) However, I am not very familiar with the early 80s german Spectrum games/magazines/programs, so it would be great if you German guys ...

Re: ZOSYA - Best game graphics ever?
I really think they are doing the best Graphics ever on the Spectrum, along with some other homebrew groups like Retroworks and Sanchez Crew. XTM compared them with Dan Dare 2, aber mann :D, I think Dan Dare is far away from some of the Zosya productions, as sprites are limited and repetitive as wel...

Maybe it would be nice to create a separate thread to attract the attention of possible coders/experts that could compile or put them together

Re: Germany on the ZX Spectrum
Also both Tom and Jerry games were programmed by Germans (well, included in the Magic Bytes can that XTM opened )
Also, I have a few amount of tapes at home with homebrew german programs and even some games that will be sent to the preservation team soon

Re: Recognise the type-in?
Towering Inferno looks similar to the game Bounce in the DB. I feel like there are a lot like this, but usually the tower is on the left of the screen (like the Game and Watch Fire game they are based on). Thanks! You mean this one, right? :) https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/38680/ZX-Spectrum/...

Pretty much said in the title :) Is there any way to play with keys the only-lightfun games? I have noticed that in some of them, when pressing "0" and other numbers, something happens in the screen, but not enough to trigger a real "effect". Maybe a short loader before the game ...

Re: More youthful pie-in-the-sky: random edition!
I have heard that the SAM scene is much-derided in the Spectrum community at large, because there's so little activity, and what little there is going on takes so long to happen... and that reputation is not entirely undeserved, I guess... but there is stuff happening. I've been assisting on an upd...

Oure is fairly simplistic (completed it on my first go but, to be fair, I've yet to do so again!), Neadeital looks fantastic, but I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing, or how (making it very true to the Gargoyle adventures, from my perspective). I agree in the games, Oure is kind of short b...
