So, purely on the titles reissued by Alternative Software as standalone budget bargains or as part of their compilations, these are the 76 tangible ZX Spectrum games I've identified:

Confuzion

I can foresee Microsphere's two Skool games doing well
There were other brands owned by Alternative Software, such as Summit, Winner and React, who also reissued games from Alternative Software's acquisition of other company's software archives. I'll be covering those later on this month.
