The ZX Spectrum game Quadrax was first published by Slovak company UltraSoft
in 1994. Two years later, Quadrax authors David Durcak and Marian Ferko founded
the game development studio Cauldron and released a PC conversion of the game
which eventually became the most successful logical game in Slovakia and the
Czech Republic. Recently, both authors have decided to turn this game into
freeware.

The PC version of Quadrax is now freely available online at:

The original ZX Spectrum game featured a custom loader with copy protection
scheme made by Busy Soft (Slavomir Labsky) and was already preserved in TZX
format. As I happen to work for Cauldron and I also know Busy Soft personally,
I felt competent enough to release this semi-official TAP version which uses
standard BASIC loader and contains no copy protection. This version resembles
the original look and feel with only minor changes to original code.

The game uses Slovak language so I translated the most important messages:

Slovak                                 English

I hope ZX Spectrum and emulation enthusiasts will enjoy this release.
TZX version of the original tape is also included.
