Hello!! Sorry for the intrusion, hehehe. My name is Felipe, and until recently, I have been editing games for the Spectrum on cassette. Due to personal and work reasons, I’m going to stop editing, and I'm saying goodbye with a compilation of homebrew games for The Spectrum on USB. I want it to be the best and most complete compilation of homebrew games that has ever been made. It will be a non-profit edition, just to provide users of The Spectrum with a pack to spend hours and hours in front of their ZX. I’ve seen some of your games on http://Itch.io and wanted to ask if you would be interested in contributing any of your ZX games to this compilation. I already have legendary creators from the scene on board, but I’d also like to reach out to you. It can be one game, two, or as many as you want, in .TAP format. Even simply granting me permission and letting me know which games I could include would be enough, and I can download them from http://Itch.io. We have created a system where the games will be encrypted, and no one will be able to use them digitally; they will only be playable on their The Spectrum, Divide, or computer. My email is playonretro@gmail.com. Best regards, and thank you very much

Hi there! Sorry about not writing back sooner. I had a think about it, then got distracted. If you would still like them, you have permission to add "Shovel Duck" and "Throbby Headache DX" and "Throbby Heartache" to the compilation.

Kind regards and good luck.

Hello again;

 Sorry for delay, some days with flu. THANKS a lot for your generosity !!! but we already closed the list of games some time ago, because we would never ned hehehehe It's a pity not to have reply before, because i love them a lot. Maybe for next time :)

GREETINGS AND THANKS AGAIN!!! You are great!!!

No worries; these Flu things going around can really take you out of commission for a few weeks - hope you're getting back to normal now.

Yeah, if there is a future one, you have a permissions for those games - but do reach out as I may have others to add to the list.

Kind regards and good luck!

Hello there!

How are you doing? Apologies for the delay, but launching a campaign is incredibly complex and consumes a lot of time very quickly. On Sunday, I opened pre-orders for the pendrive we discussed. I wanted to thank you again for your trust in this mini-project. The pendrive pre-order campaign has officially begun. We've worked incredibly hard to create a carousel menu, with game descriptions for all titles available in Spanish, English, and Portuguese. The price is super tight (many have said it should be higher, even asking if we made a mistake, but our intention isn't to make a profit, but rather to bid farewell to 8-bit tape editions with this pack). The final product promises to be quite good: a metal box, foam insert, a 12-page booklet, a custom-designed pendrive, and a plastic seal. The idea is that users with more modern systems can play your games and those from other creators very easily, inclusively, and directly, all at the price of a pendrive.

You can pre-order here:

And here's the game list:

We've spent months testing all the games and had to exclude a few due to technical issues, but the vast majority are included.

If you place your pre-order, please identify yourself, and I'll have a little something extra for you as a token of my gratitude for your trust and generosity. You can email me at playonretro@gmail.com, and we can continue our communication there. I can send you much more information in this way.

It would help a lot if you could give this pack some visibility. You can also place an order through the banner on www.playonretro.com.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
