Space Evaders:

http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0026969

look like an exact copy of Space Raiders by Psion.

I know that it appearead in a magazine, so I suppose that some guy shamelessly converted Space Raiders into type-in and claimed as his own ;)

I'm not sure, should it be removed or just a comment added?

    It's an exact copy of Psion game... strange nobody at Your Computer staff didn't realise at the moment of watching it before publishing as a type-in. :???:

    According to the article, this game should work on the 16K as well, but this doesn't seem to be correct.

    Works okay on 16k, the loader used is just an example that they give. Just set ramtop below the proggy ie. Clear 24499

    I've heard of type-ins being reworked by Harry S Price, but that's the first case of submitting a commercial game to a magazine I can think of. Obviously the download should be removed, but perhaps the entry should remain as it is a curio.

    Since I can't just remove it as normally done with hacks (it appeared in a magazine, after all), I added comments to the game to say so.
