Basically, it's a guide file with POKEs for over 1000 speccy games. Before you say "Seen it!", listen up. This is a bit different from "ZXAMPOKE Guide". For a start, it has a LOT more games, and a LOT more POKEs in it. As well as that, it uses a modular approach to allow people to release their own POKEs as single add-on guide files, as opposed to having to send them to the author who releases the same text file plus a few new ones... Anyway, I don't want to go into too much detail as I'll end up repeating what is descibed in the main program, but I can safely state that over 95% of these POKEs have been tried and tested by me. Yes, that's right, I went through ZXAMPOKE Guide and tested every available one, and either scrapped or fixed the ones that didn't work. I then did the same for 8 years of YS, 8 years of Crash, 2 years of Sinclair User, and any other POKE file I could find. Oh, and I also added about 300 of my own POKEs.. That's about all there is to this. I hope to release more add-on files myself at a later date, and it would be nice if other people would do likewise. Oh, on a completely different topic.. Someone asked me who did the ASCII design I use for my name here and on my cardsets. Well, it wasn't me, as I'm crap at that kind of thing. I actually used a program called BANNER (I think).. It's not perfect, so if anyone fancies designing a better FILE_ID.DIZ size logo, I'd be really grateful... Anyway, I hope this helps keep the nostalgia boom going, as the Speccy really was something special. I better go now before I get all glassy-eyed and start harping on about the good old days when computer mags were less than a quid, the air was clearer, people were more polite (blah blah) hhehehehe... Oh yes, since this was released on the 1st Jan 1996, I'd better wish everyone a happy NEW yEAR, and all the best FOR 1996 (gettit?). Rastan/ACS. 01-01-96
