So the newest inlays can I find in this archive? ;-)

https://archive.org/details/Spectruminl ... herdetails

BTW, why the size of spectruminlayArchivez.zip is more than 7 GB? It doesn't make sence. :)



HI Pavero, apologies have reuploaded the Z archive as had a old new scans directory attached under zzznewscans :D

corrected file is below :

https://archive.org/details/Spectruminl ... herdetails

(under Z#)
Scanner extraordinaire, 1000`s of magazines and Software from the 8 and 16 bit era now up on internet archive in lovely 600dpi.
Donations are welcome of items to scan that are no longer needed ;)

Hi, I sent the files for Sophia II last Saturday, yet there have been no updates since then.

Today I also sent the 1.1a version files for Sophia.

Will there be an update to the archive next week?

Yep. I'm going to work on new entries and files tomorrow. These updates take a long time to do, and I've been busy.

Hi [mention]PeterJ[/mention] awesome as always... BUT! :lol: seems that CGC2018 titles are not in the update?

Edit: oh, I can see them with the link, but I can't search for them, perhaps I need to wait a bit longer for the propagation.

Hi [mention]druellan[/mention]

If you search with the 'Advanced Search' on the home page the default is not to include 'Crap Games' You need to switch that with the pull down to include them.

Well, I can see them if I use the link, but if I search for Thermal Ski (for example), nothing is found, and if I list all the titles, the list is incomplete:

Ahh, well spotted.

That's a good point though, if you click on the link to CGC 2018 via one of the games, it defaults to showing non-crap—for the CSS CGC!

Would it get messy if that was made an exception?

Seems to work for me [mention]druellan[/mention] with the 'Include Crap Games' option selected.

We will investigate further.

Oh, yeah, this is also happening when you want to see all games from an author:
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... l_id=18213

Looking at this again, I'm not sure why the crap games are filtered by default. This should be something only related to the advanced search IMHO.

There are 2 different issues here.

1.) When you use regular search or advanced search, crap games are hidden by default. You need to explicitly select crap, if you want crap. This is intentional. If you always got several pages of intentionally crap games (from over 2 decades of CSSCGC) whenever you searched for anything, I'm sure you would get tired of using SC fairly quick.

2.) In the specific case of CSSCGC 2018, 25 games were added to group CSSCGC Crap Games Contest 2018, but only one of them was added to compilation CSSCGC Crap Games Competition 2018. I will fix it in the next ZXDB update.
