Lightgun games

Post by Pobulous »

Should the lightgun versions of games be available as an extra downloadable TAP file listed with the other versions of the game.

For instance, I was wanting to try Operation Wolf with a lightgun. I downloaded the only TAP file that was available to load via DivMMC, only to find it doesn't support lightguns. Next I found the Action Pack TAP, and loaded that, only to find the BASIC loader program requires 128K basic to play some music to confirm selection of the game. Unfortunately DivMMC puts you in USR0 mode.

Anyhow, I got the game working by editing the BASIC loader.

My point is shouldn't all (significantly different) versions of games be available under the game's ZXDB entry, even if that version was on a compilation?
