Yes, I understand the idea better now. It turns out that you want to make some database of game developers for Speccy on this USB drive, which will be periodically updated with new data (the mechanism is not yet clear - how this will be done on flash drives that have already been sold, but that's another question). This database will probably not include games that developers are still distributing for a fee, but it may include some other data, like photos of developers' faces and the like.

But I still don't fully understand the value of this information, what will be the key motivation for users to buy this database on flash drives? Could you explain in more detail? How will this information differ from the freely available information that is on WoS, Zxart, and other online resources? Perhaps this information will be a little more "personal", that is, include personal contacts of developers, which would allow you to contact them directly?

Or will this device with developer data be something like a souvenir for a retro collection?

Please explain.

You know, I am the owner of the ZXOnline portal, where many developers publish their developments for the ZX Spectrum platform. The main concept of the portal is to give developers the opportunity to make a profit (or monetary support - call it what you want) when selling copies of their products. To do this, we take various actions, not only direct sales of copies of games, but also all sorts of other methods.

Your method of distributing games is interesting, and this could certainly become another source of income for my developers, but tell me - does your distribution model imply any royalties for game developers? How do you plan to solve this issue? Or do you propose that authors be granted the right to distribute their games free of charge?

Please explain.

Hi Juan

Your idea looks interesting and unusual, but I have doubts about who would be interested in it. In fact, the data on this flash drive will almost always be outdated, because you do not assume any online method to update it after the user has received this flash drive, is that correct?

Probably, any of the known online databases of products for ZX (for example, WoS, Zxart, etc.) already contain such a database, and their databases are periodically automatically updated.

Please explain why you think that your product will be in demand?

Okay, PAL or NTSC mode? 50 or 60 Hz?

The video has a deep echo on the music and sound effects. Also it runs visually way faster than original. Could you say which hardware did you use to play and record this video?

Haha, the same for me! :) Some years ago I played Astro Phobos and both Dark Transits and should thank you for those exciting pieces of art. Absolutely old-school things that we love. What is in the next room? That feeling. Cool. I'd love to play some more from you too. 

Okay, thank you! And thank you for the release and supporting ZX Spectrum platform too! :)

Clear! Do you think it's possible to pack all expansion levels to upper 64k and put them alltogether to the 128k RAM to use as a RAM disk? So, for example, if I have a 128k machine I could load all the missions in RAM at once and then play them without additional loads?

So you decided this game to be 48K only and not to play AY? What happen if I run this version on the 128K machine?

Do you have Kempston Mouse support as well? And AY music?

You can play this game online with Save/Load capability
