Eh, we discussed this a week ago. :-)
At first it obvious that any standard 48k games which don't need any changes
to run on Sam should be removed. I don't understand why these games are at
NVG in sam-coupe directory.
But I think that 128k, AY and tape->disk converted games should stay. Better
said, these title don't seem to be present at NVG, so we can upload them.
And finally, I must add that Sam Coupe is a Spectrum clone. You can't shut
your eyes and don't see this fact. 99% of good games on Sam are Spectrum
games. I personally never spend much time playing that crappy Defenders, Sam
Strikes Out or void Sphera. Instead, I converted Spectrum Sim City to save
games to samdisk and built my cities, did great battles in 128k North and
South, shoot'em all in Exolon, did assaults in 128k Laser Squad Remix, etc.
I mean that any Spectrum emulation related stuff, including games should be
there, except those ones that can be used in original form. For me, 90% of
Sam Coupe is just a bit too expensive pseudo 128k Spectrum with a disk drive
and pseudo-AY.
Of course, we don't want to waste all the disk space with Spectrum stuff, so
we omit all the titles which originally didn't load due to a protected
loaders failed to work on a Sam's different CPU speed, if these titles can
be run from a 48k SNAP file like .Z80, .SNA or .MUL.

Subject: Re: "Spectrum on Sam" games at NVG
This is probably a good time to ask people's opinions on including Speccy
games
that have been made to run on a SAM, on samcoupe.org - my opinion is that
they
are still Speccy games and they should initially be left out. What do
others
think?
Gavin
Quoting Aley Keprt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
There is "Explosion" emulator at NVG (it does Spectrum on Sam).
There are also lots of games for this emulator. Does anybody checked that
there aren't any of the Codemsters, US Gold, Ultimate and other
explicitly
forbidden titles?
