Hmmm. Is there a reason for this? Are TAP files smaller for BASIC-only programs with no custom loaders or loading screens?
My type-ins are Z80 and TZX, but conversion could be done in a few seconds, so I'll send them as TAP files. -

Surely there's a Civilisation game on the Speccy?...and if there isn't , surely it would be easy enough to make? The nearest I have ever come across was that "Gods" game that was put on a YS cover t…
Yeah! Now that's a good idea! I think it would be possible to fully emulate Civ on the Speccy, provided we make it a +3 disk game. Much easier than a Zelda conversion anyway. -

Robocop was a great game. Why some people slagged it for not being a conversion of the Data East arcade game is beyond me. IMHO the speccy version is class and tons better than the arcade one.

I never played the Salamander conversion, after Nemesis I wasn't going to. I'm just glad that they didn't try and convert Vulcan Venture - can you imagine the pigs ear that they would have made? -

Don't knock the conversion of Out Run - It might have been slow and monocrome but the graphics were really good. The C64 version while fast was crap. -

Strange. I once did that as a test, and all the converted files loaded perfectly on X128, Real Spectrum and R80.

Bubble Bobble is another one to add to the "Amstrad list of atrocious games". Shoddy, shoddy, shoddy. Firebird software must have had cowboys in to do the conversion.What games would you like to see converted to the speccy?What games would you like to see converted to the speccy?
