Hi Patrik Rak , Einar explains it in the linked post. However if this column is so useful, why are we removing it from the database? Because we don't need to store it anymore. This column was originally filled manually in ZXDB, but now we use a routine to generate it automatically (the online form d...

Hi @Patrik Rak,

It was just one that the organiser had collected over the years. It certainly is an unusual colour!

Welcome @Graz. It was great to meet you. I was really pleasantly surprised how much retro love there is out there!

The latest ZXDB update has been applied.

Thanks @Einar Saukas. I will update the site on Monday.

This was a joke thread by @PeteProdge. It's a picture of Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home when the confidential papers were found

Good spot @Stefan. I'm very keen on us only storing 'virgin' type-ins (other than where there are errors in the listing) so I will make some changes to the entry..

Between The Stars is a ZX81 program, but the screens show flashing green.

I just noticed that the YouTube video in the entry for The Bard's Tale is apparently from a 2022 version. If you go to the YouTube page it says: This is an updated 2022 version made by Monsters Productions and Tiboh, and it has these changes: - Intro converted from C64 by Tiboh. - The game is conver...

Thanks @Pobulous,

So the PMGs (I think that's the phrase Atari use) are colour independent of the normal mode restrictions?

I'm with you there Pobulous . I can understand the appeal of the C64 Maxi, and Amiga Maxi (If it appears), but not the mini ones. As a slight aside, from a BASIC programming perspective I've never had a huge amount of love for the Atari 8bit range. To get anymore than 5 colours on screen at one time...

Thanks. User and threads being deleted.

This made me chuckle.. https://www.mvtcomputers.com/-_-/res/56a3e487-1a93-4c13-bcdb-ffad7d2e9dc1/images/files/56a3e487-1a93-4c13-bcdb-ffad7d2e9dc1/ee19ab3a-02d7-4b0c-89f6-936821c42044/768-641/b3de2e7472e8e4acfa2a427e6c1809ff5fa60b10 https://www.mvtcomputers.com/ New hand made steel cases based on th...

Hi DoctorRad , Are you also Dr_Rad ? If so, we need to merge accounts. You can't upload images (we don't have the storage space). Most users use sites like imgbb. Then you can include images in posts. PM me if you need any help. https://i.ibb.co/Y8bfBY9/image.jpg https://i.ibb.co/G93VcM1/2024-03-23-...

In the documentation he thanks the author of Classic99 (and others) for their contributions and support, so I'm guessing everything is tickety-boo.

I used the itch.io link @akeley.

I may well be wrong, but I don't think there is a PC version? It runs via the Classic99 emulator.

Scroll down. There are screen-grabs from each version:
