This page is being removed because it was a duplicate. After the site is updated on Monday, you will see these files here:

I do wish the sources of all the various files were more clearly marked - not necessarily a ZXDB issue... so much content came over from WOS without any idea what the source was. The fact that game files are not linked to inlay or tape scans makes it really difficult to try and work out exactly what we've got preserved and what still needs to be found.

I'm presuming that the files for Magic Treasure Adventure type-in
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/3 ... _Adventure
from the book

may already be included on the page for the commercial release
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/6 ... _Adventure

(as there are three distinct versions of Magic Treasure there)

Tom sold the game on tape at least as early as 1984. I would image that version was very "basic" looking and may be hard to differentiate from the version in the book. We probably don't have the original Tom Forst release archived. There may have even been an earlier ZX81 version of the game.

The version that later appeared on the B-side of the final Tartan release The Lost Dragon is a lot easier to spot as that has its presentation enhanced.

(I'm not quite sure why that page has "Originally published as part of an UNIDENTIFIED compilation (please help find it!)" as the game was originally sold as a standalone.)

It was me who reported this to Einar. Hopefully these comments are OK. Obviously go with whatever Gareth says. He is the expert.

These two entries are linked:

The game originally appeared in a book as a type-in, then seems to have been published by Tartan Software.

You have a comment 'Originally published as part of an UNIDENTIFIED compilation (please help find it!)'

@SkoolKid. When I do the update on Monday the files will be available (as Einar mentions).

I think I already got everything covered.

Please wait until the site update on Monday, then let me know if I missed anything.
