Excellent! That warms the cockles.

Sooner or later we'll need to make a group for games featuring Einar Saukas. So far we have:

A player character in Multidude
Einar the wise in Santo's Xmas Adventure
and now, the scrooge character in Huellas!

(did I miss any?)

Not a character but a room called "Einar is Good Enough" on Manic Pietro

I've got a feeling there's at least another too.

I used the advanced search for titles with the name 'Einar' included [mention]R-Tape[/mention] & [mention]Einar Saukas[/mention] and I got 'Five In A Row'

Just 84 screens, tapes, inlays, posters and instructions Pav? Tsk. Lazy git

It's great to see these Czech titles added. People have pinged us about these quite a few times over the years.

Oh, Nice! This is a pretty decent Scramble clone.

[mention]Einar Saukas[/mention] has released a huge new update to ZXDB. Thank you again to everyone who contributed their time and effort.

Can I also take the opportunity to thank those of you who contributed to allowing us to upgrade the server for the current year. This has really sped-up the upgrade process and stopped the problems I was having before with the server timing out.

Finally, if you are on social media please mention this update and the site in general. Believe it or not, some Spectrum fans still don't know we exist.

These are the update notes from [mention]R-Tape[/mention] (Thank you!).
Enjoy!

Lots of thanks to @R-Tape, @pavero, @druellan and @kolbeck!!!

Wow you guys don't waste any time! Nice one.

This is a partial update as things were busy, and the things to add list hefty.

So [mention]Spud[/mention], [mention]PeterJ[/mention], [mention]Manu128k[/mention]; [mention]Ivanzx[/mention]mia; [mention]bob_fossil[/mention] Knockabout update; and there was a lot more that will have to wait.

Is anyone in contact with the authors of these games? I'd like to check if we can preserve the game files here or not.

Wudang (I had Ariel's email but I can't find it!)

Jumpin' Jupiter (this is a guy called Quantum Sheep)

Magenta Jim (This is Gaz Marshall)

We also got a lot of updates in the magazines section. This time, most of the new content refers to Spanish magazines Micromania and MicroHobby Cassette.

Cheers. I have an old twitter account that never came to much. I'm hoping people with an 'in' can chip in rather than me doing it.

Oh hang on, I'll drop him a message with a link to this thread.

W00t! Needs an updated running screen, though, with the sun and clouds and a new font.

Oh, and I forget how we define machine type—as the very minimum requirement or as a subset of features—but Yankee now uses the AY chip for sound effects. So, perhaps, it should say “ZX-Spectrum 48K/128K” now and/or “Features: AY Sound”?
