The main updates are as follows (Thanks to Dave for his humorous Narrative)

A flouring of fixes
Plenty many screenshots
The latest games (see the Brand New Software thread)
Nearly 30 Romanian games from AMS Software (thanks Ralf)
The ZX Spectrum +3 Manual in PDF form.
Oh and some games by the Oliver Twins

Again, thanks for the great work.

Just a suggestion: Is it possible to include all these updates in the 'updates' section in the SC main page? There we can see 'Home' 'Forums' 'Updates' 'Contacts'. But in 'updates' I only see a list of new games.

The idea is a list of updates shown as follows:

3/3/2018

-A flouring of fixes
-Plenty many screenshots
-The latest games (see the Brand New Software thread)
-Nearly 30 Romanian games from AMS Software (thanks Ralf)
-The ZX Spectrum +3 Manual in PDF form.
-Oh and some games by the Oliver Twins

4/1/2018

- Another flouring of fixes
- Plenty many screenshots
- All the games by Ultimate Play the Game (thanks to the Stamper bros. to give us permission. Special thanks for giving us a copy of Mire Mare!)

Quite a few file downloads are missing, some definitely were there before. When someone has time could they look into it pleez?

What's wrong with them? Load and run screen look correct to me.

That's what I see, one screenshot instead of 2:

Actually it's not only this game, some other new stuff also has loading screen only, like:

Hi [mention]R-Tape[/mention] we are looking at these. I may have been over zealous with my alterations to the codebase following the withdrawal of permissions from Chris Born.

Nope, you registered both as running screens :)

I will sort this out in the next ZXDB update.

Actually this one is correct. Scuttlebutt doesn't have a loading screen.

It looks like a loading screen but it only appears after the game finishes loading, so it's technically a menu screen, therefore also a running screen.
