Apraz-nos anunciar uma nova página relacionada com o ZX Spectrum, desta feita da autoria de Massimo Raffaele. A página ainda está a ser alimentada, mas já incluí alguma informação e ficheiros relevantes da cena, incluindo do homebrew e da Portuguesa (embora faltem os links para o Planeta Sinclair e o Museu LOAD ZX). Vamos agora acompanhar o seu desenvolvimento de perto, entretanto deixamos a descrição da páginas, nas palavras do seu autor:
The website, started in late 2017, is the result of extensive research, frequent consultation of many websites, forums, and resources, and a great deal of dedication (a feeling shared by all of us who cherished the beloved Speccy, then and now).
It was created as a simple and immediate repository, avoiding complex graphics or blog-style content, and focusing on helping users quickly find and download the programs they’re looking for.
The design prioritizes clarity and ease of navigation, useful even when you remember a game visually rather than by title. A fast and intuitive search lets you narrow results by year, keywords, or other criteria.
The site is organized into clear, self-contained sections, each presented on a single page so that all essential information is visible at a glance.
Its main focus is on games released after the commercial era of the Spectrum, mainly homebrew titles and software later made freely available. Other sections also have their purpose, showcasing for example classic commercial titles and notable releases from different periods.

I don't think it is fair that they offer direct download of the games, instead of providing the itch.io link. That prevents the downloader tipping the author.
ResponderEliminarThat is a very good point!
EliminarEvery package includes the link to the original homepage of the author(s). I took care of getting in touch with the authors (sometimes encouraging them to put programs back online that had been taken down), and in many cases I got their approval. Over time, I will make sure to contact everyone I can.
ResponderEliminarThe site also hosts some hard-to-find programs (including some MIAs, unavailable elsewhere), made available thanks to long-term work and the contribution of some of the original authors :).
That is great!!!! :)
EliminarSorry about the two missing links — that was a big oversight on my part (I’ve been in a big rush lately). I’m fixing it right away!
ResponderEliminarDon´t worry, I will have to explore all the games you have there. Probably after the GOTY.
