I recently added
Legends Of Bytes to ZXDB. This magazine is an excellent source of information about Speccy game authors! Someone fluent in Russian should be able to obtain lots of useful information still missing from our database.
It's currently published by a guy called Gennadiy. If someone has his contact information and could invite him to our forum, I bet he would enjoy participating in this thread
Greetings. I wrote to Your email (einar@ime...), but probably You already have a different email.
04 june 2020, I made a new issue of my magazine (#8) and there my version of Hewson Consultants softography.

Regards, Gennadiy.
p.s. I carefully read the forum threads and tried to combine everything results. I adds some new info from developers (Draughts Genius, C64; Herobotix and Subterranea, ZX; and something else on the little things as releases or unreleases and so on). Jonathan Court and Coxsoft (Ian Cox) did not answer me, although they received letters.
Welcome to this forum!
I added
Legends of Bytes #8 to ZXDB, it will be in the next update. Thanks!
Your magazine is excellent. There's a lot of useful information I never saw anywhere else. Have you considered also translating all issues to English? This way, a lot more people would be able to read them! You would probably find someone willing to translate them for you, if you ask around here.
I was hoping you would join us here. I'm sure you will like it, and I'm sure you will be able to provide a lot of useful information too!
Since your main interest are developers of classic games, I will provide a quick summary about our work in this area. Besides identifying the authors of each game, we also try to identify all different roles of each author. You can see all authors and their roles in each game page, for instance
Target Renegade. Also you will find a list of all identified musicians, load screen artists, and inlay/poster cover artists
here. If you think it helps to provide full lists for other roles too, I can ask Peter to add them.
There are a few sections in this forum specifically about identifying authors and roles, especially
this and
this. There's some variable delay between someone posting an information in this forum, and it appearing in the archive, because there's a lot of work involved, but we are getting there...
Enjoy it!
