You have to admit the seller has put a bit of effort into it

    That's really nice. The seller claims there's more coming as well. It's a pity he didn't include more games on the cartridge. It seems a waste to only put on 16k file on a cartridge that can store approximately 80k of data. :)

    Necros.

    Technically, doesn't this amount to distribution of a denied title?

    Worse: selling COPIES of a denied title. The very definition of piracy.

    Sad, considering how cute it is, but true.

    Yeah it would be difficult to find a more blatant case of piracy, but imagine having a whole row of ultimate games on microdrive with printed covers mmm lovely.

    C, i have just had a quick look at your ZXF website and saw this

    From issue 11 onwards, there will also be a print version that you can buy online.

    I take it your working on issue 11 then ??

    yup i did, took near 2 hours to make each cover and to edit the sizes also to make the covers perfect again with magic from photoshopCS, then another 30mins to cut them out, if they dont look good then i do it all over again.

    yup good point, i did think of that, what a waste but carts only have a small area and would have looked well crammed with 6-7 covers on 1 face of a cart ;) and they look soo cool together in the 4x micodrive cases. its like buying your best film and having other pics on the front cover, so kept it as one.
