Minicoll, or the "Speccy Minigame Collection", is a collection of
Spectrum and ZX81 entries in the Minigame Compo, years 2001-2003. It
doesn't include all the games as I couldn't get permission from
everyone, but it does have the vast majority.

The collection (which requires a Spectrum 128/+2/+3) is a single load,
and lets you quickly switch between games once everything has loaded.
You can return to the game-selecting menu with Caps+Space (Break on a
real speccy). Note that for Dotathon 2 you need to be at the game's
score/high-score screen for this to work.

Source to the front-end is included here as minicoll-src.tar.gz
(buildable on Linux with zmac) - but don't worry about that unless
you're interested. Source for the games should be available from the
authors if they chose to release it (most did), and much the same
applies to full instructions for the games (but most don't really
require them IMHO). I know not including instructions (in particular)
is a bit odd, but unfortunately I neglected to ask for permission to
do that. Instructions should all be available in the voting packs for
each compo though, and they're all still online at the time of
writing.

Thanks to all the game authors for giving me permission to include
their games (and/or those they worked on), I wasn't expecting so many
people to agree to it. :-)

If anyone has any queries, bug reports, etc., I can be emailed at
rus@svgalib.org.
