Rocket-man in infoseek

Ivanzx

The game Rocket-man appears, in infoseek as a never released game, although it was released for the Spectrum (conversion by Russel Marks). The never released one is the ZX81 version...should it appear like that? (I mean, we are looking for Spectrum games, not ZX81 ones :) )

Uh, no, the version by Russell Marks is actually the ZX81 version running in a ZX81 emulator on the Spectrum (note the comment).
The ZX81 version itself is available too. :-)

It just never got released for the Spectrum officially, so the current details are correct...

Hmm so that does not count as Spectrum game?, I imagine that you have to load it as in a normal Spectrum game?...curious case here :)

Nope, as the publisher who advertised it did not in fact publish the Spectrum version. What we have is a fan version of the ZX81.
ZX81 game != Spectrum game, yes? :p
