Some games with border fx that aren't marked as such

Post by XoRRoX »

Hello,

I stumbled upon this page with games that contain border fx: https://www.speccy.pl/articles.php?article_id=61
It has screenshots to show the effects.
I checked the ZXDB if these are marked as having the feature Border effects.

The following aren't yet:
Could you please update them?

TIA :)

Some of them seems to use some (unmarked in the database) multicolour effects too, like "Venom strikes back" and "Expedice".

@+3codeAny chance you make a list for the missing multicolour ones and summarise it here (as Xorrox has)?

Looking at the .gif images, I think these two I cited, but not sure, I've not playtested them all.
