Re: Inlay scans of modern titles from Monument / Cronosoft / Matranet / Bumfun / etc.
I don't know if you need to wait for the ZXDB update itself, but these are the IDs they will have:
34369 Seto Taisho Special Edition
34370 Traxtor and Return of Traxtor
34371 I hate the Internet
34372 Tumult: Phase I
34373 Alter Ego and Dreamwalker
34374 Escape from Cnossus and The Spectral Dungeons
34375 Hop'n'Frog and Omelettes for Breakfast
34376 Chicks&Bricks Triple Pack
34377 Saving Kong
34378 Sector and Sector Invasion
34379 Roboticks in Theory and Practice I
34380 Roboticks in Theory and Practice II
[mention]pavero[/mention] - I can't seem to open Bumfun's website, could you let me know the prices of these pleez.
Also can anyone provide screenshots for "I hate the Internet" and "Tumult"?
Re: Inlay scans of modern titles from Monument / Cronosoft / Matranet / Bumfun / etc.
Some weird case with George's site.I can't seem to open Bumfun's website
If you paste links directly into browser, they won't work for me too.
But go to https://bumfungaming.com/zx-shop/ and click on titles and everything works.
Re: Inlay scans of modern titles from Monument / Cronosoft / Matranet / Bumfun / etc.
Hmmm, ta but that doesn't work either. Even if I google 'Bumfun gaming' (being very sure to include the filter words "zx spectrum"!) the link comes up, I click on it and nothing happens.Ralf wrote: ↑Fri Aug 10, 2018 4:51 pm But go to https://bumfungaming.com/zx-shop/ and click on titles and everything works.

Nah, it’s not going to work with a direct link. You need to start from here: https://bumfungaming.com/zx-shop/

You’re right. I’m holding out for Tumult Phase II, anyway ;P

All prices from Bumfun's website are 10 GBP for each game.
I will prepare screenshots for these two titles.
Re: Inlay scans of modern titles from Monument / Cronosoft / Matranet / Bumfun / etc.
Ta very much. 10 spond each, hmmm, and there was me looking at the Sinclair A-Bike on ebay earlier...
No just a hanging screen. I've just discovered some of these links works on mobile, and I know the site loads at work (but I can't be looking at any site with a big orange header shouting BUMFUN there).Seven.FFF wrote: ↑Fri Aug 10, 2018 6:31 pm https://bumfungaming.com/shop/zx-games/tumult-phase-i/

Re: Inlay scans of modern titles from Monument / Cronosoft / Matranet / Bumfun / etc.
BTW, I don't too understand how the Original Publisher is defined in ZXDB.
Sometimes there is the author of the game.
Sometimes there is the company who provided a physical release of the game.
Sometimes there is the Original Publisher empty.
Does it mean if there is no physical release of the game then there is no original publisher? Probably not.

Re: Inlay scans of modern titles from Monument / Cronosoft / Matranet / Bumfun / etc.
If the game was originally released by a company that provided a physical release of the game, or even if the authors preferred to release it officially by a third-party website instead of themselves, then that's the publisher.
Otherwise, the authors decided to release it themselves (or under a company name they created). In this case, that's the publisher.
The original publisher should never be empty. Whenever it's currently empty, it just means we didn't identify how it was released yet.

Re: Inlay scans of modern titles from Monument / Cronosoft / Matranet / Bumfun / etc.
Well, some example will be the best.
What about this game?
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... id=0032203
Rafal (an author) published this game directly on this forum. Why is the publisher empty? What do we need to identify on it?

Re: Inlay scans of modern titles from Monument / Cronosoft / Matranet / Bumfun / etc.
You can thank (blame!) me for this lacuna. The rule I chose was that if there was a company name associated with the game I would log the publisher and an author, but if there is only a person - as in Pav's Wunderwaffe example - I only logged the author.Einar Saukas wrote: ↑Wed Sep 05, 2018 12:16 pm The original publisher should never be empty.

So presumably Wunderwaffe should be publisher and author Rafal Miazga? If yes I'll make a list of corrections and be sure to do this in future.
Sorree, I'm making it up as I go along to some extent...

Re: Inlay scans of modern titles from Monument / Cronosoft / Matranet / Bumfun / etc.
That's a question. If so then every the first physical release, which will appear sometimes later, will be always associated as re-release?R-Tape wrote: ↑Wed Sep 05, 2018 7:40 pmSo presumably Wunderwaffe should be publisher and author Rafal Miazga?

Here is the second example. Farmer Jack Trilogy from Bob Smith. The author usually publishes his games under Cronosoft.
Two parts are associated with Cronosoft as an original publisher.
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 6&id=18873
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 6&id=16793
The third part is associated with Bob Smith as an original publisher and Cronosoft is the first re-releaser.
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 6&id=21583
(I know these informations was taken over from old WoS.)
But what I want to say. If I will begin to prepare inlays for new titles, it would be good to have clear rules to determinate an original cassette inlay and a re-release cassette inlay.

Re: Inlay scans of modern titles from Monument / Cronosoft / Matranet / Bumfun / etc.
It depends.
If the author releases the game as direct download first, then later decides to re-release it as physical tape, then the latter is a re-release.
But if author releases the game originally as both direct download and physical tape, then that's a single release. Even if it takes longer for the physical copies to be manufactured... In this case, it makes sense to list the tape publisher as the original publisher.

Yep, it makes sense. Only it will be quite difficult to identify it backwards in many cases.Einar Saukas wrote: ↑Thu Sep 06, 2018 9:39 pm It depends.

Correct Release year for Sid Spanners - The Complete Collection is 2014, not 2012, how I have found in the history of this FB page.
