A Spanish proverb says: better late than never. Or all's well that ends well:

-17.208 games entries excluding new versions, alternate versions, new formats... Added hundreds of spanish magazines type-ins.
-Magazines review awards added. I couldn't miss that smell of paper and ink...
-Annual awards added (in notes tab).
-Posters magazines added.
-Hundreds of spanish magazines adverts and maps added.
-Over 3.000 tapes pictures added.
-Pavero's fully restored inlays updated. Wonderful work!
-Screenshots normalized to 256x192 px gif.
-Development material and some miscellaneous stuff added.
-Updated all the stuff of the main webs devoted to the speccy. Thanks to the chiefs of Spectrum Computing and Planeta Sinclair for their illusion and effort. Without them Speccymania woudn't exist.
-And some cosmetic improvements.

Google Drive:

Mega:

As always, edit GB paths if needed.

Greetings to .mad, Sparky, OX, Dax, Seiya and everyone who contribute from their websites to keep the speccy alive and kicking.

To A.D.F. In memoriam. He showed me the ZX Spectrum... and many other things.

Happy new year!!

Hi Manguan,

i can't download it. :cry:
"Download Quota exceeded for this file"

Google seems to have limits the amount of downloads?.

All of them!.

I don't think YOU can get locked out of your own google drive.

I think problem is, when it's shared to public.
google locks it when it gets lots of download hits.

it's possible to mirror your folder by copying files to a new folder to reset the limit on a file.
or copy all files from one google account to another.

Mega - gives 20GB to all free account users.

Archive - it has slow upload, but fast direct download with torrent options built in. :mrgreen:

Yes Google Drive limits that way a file downloaded several times, but exists a workaround. You just need your own Google account, copy the file to your account, and download it from your account.

Quick question, I just downloaded the RAR files. What should I name the root directory, as I just currently got it called Speccymania?

Thank you again for your work, as well

Never mind... I had a George W. Bush moment for a second. LOL

I have noticed a couple of errors (that's ok though since with a task this big there are bound to be a few) The game Battleground is listed as being published by Your Sinclair (and as a commercial game). It was actually a type-in from the September 1985 issue of Your Computer https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/1 ... ttleground WOS also confirms it's from YC, not YS https://worldofspectrum.org/software?id=0014506
