  • ZX games that work only in the USR0 modeExist list of ZX games that can't be loaded from 128 menu/128 editor/+3 basic ? (I need all games that need be loaded from USR 0 mode).

    Most games requiring USR 0 mode are usually those coming from the Eastern Bloc countries. Actually, more demos than games require USR 0. Busy Soft and Fuxoft are the most prominent examples of USR 0-heavy coders.
