Games distributed by MQA SA in Argentina

I have six games from this publisher. Back in the day it was advertised as an official publisher in Argentina for European software houses.

They claim to be official publishers for Melbourne House, Dinamic, Durell, Bubble Bus, Mastertronic and Martech.

I remember buying this games at newspaper kiosks. They came in a blister (that was destroyed after the "careful" game extraction procedure) and a plain inlay.

I don't have the complete list of software published by this company, but I own:

Thanathos - https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 96&id=5218
Molecule Man - https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 96&id=3242
BMX Racers - https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.php?cat=96&id=605
Chuckman - https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.php?cat=96&id=960
Sports Hero - https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 96&id=4779
One Man and His Droid - https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 96&id=3523

Looking at the magazines you can deduce other titles like Camelot Warrios, Phantomas, Abu Simbel Profanation and The Ice Palace.

So, if this worth preservation, I can start trying to take photos of the inlays, and later perhaps try to image the cassettes if they have a custom loader screen or copyright notice.

Just finished taking photos of the games I have, and Esteban (https://twitter.com/uncanegiallo/status ... 4538249216) sent me the cover for Thanatos.

I also have the instructions. I'm going to PM the admins with the originals.

Hi [mention]R-Tape[/mention] . I'm not sure what happened with this, I think I contacted you just at the moment you were busy migrating things to archive.org, and then we totally forgot about it. Let me know if you still think this material worth to be preserved on the ZXDB.

Have you got an archive.org account dru? It might be easiest to preserve your Hi-Res inlays there for now. It's something we need to look at, but there's so much other stuff going on at the moment.
