Anyone know of any Spanish magazines that published reader games on cover tapes? :-?What are these 'ZX Files Megatapes'?I found four of these mixed with a tape lot but never seen them before. Here's what the first one looks like: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums…
Thanks. I have some TZXing and scanning to do then.

That would do the trick quite nicely if you still have it!When did you get your first Spectrum?Prompted by the Byte-Back thread, when did you get your first Spectrum and how old were you?
I'm stunned how late some people got into the Speccy, specially the 90's !
Its like the covertapes i was never keen on as i had most of the games already. Obviously for latecomers the cover tapes were superb.
