Thanks to work by Daniele Terdina and Jiri Dolezal, we have now
released the Sinclair QL Games Collection 1.
This is a set of 10 commercial games for you to play on a Windows
based PC, running under Q-emulator for £10
We hope this will help distil the comments that the QL was only
ever a business machine and will hopefully help promote the QL
itself.
The games included are:
* Cuthbert in Space by Steve Bak and S J Proctor
* Deathstrike by Damon Chaplin and T. Bovingdon
* Hoverzone by R G Riley
* Jungle Eddi by Stefan Kuhne
* QL Hopper by Steve Bak and S J Proctor
* QL Pengi by Jochen Merz and R. Bieniek
* QL Vroom by Daniel Macré
* Stone Raider II by Alex J Herbert
* The King by C H Robertson Consultants
* The Lost Pharaoh by Stefan Kuhne
More details appear at:

Hi Rich,
Wow! Well done to you, and the guys ... :-)
I am not a game player, myself, yet it all helps to promote the QL
and re-new its life.
I guess that the Games will all run under QPC2, too?

The games are available individually (some run under QPC2, with it
set at 512x256, 8 colour mode), or as this special package.
The special package includes a runtime version of q-emulator, which
is then used to run the games - there is just one file containing the
games and the runtime emulator, so that you cannot download the
individual games onto a standard QL or another emulator.
Does that mean that they are on a PC disk and can be run on any PC
without a separate emulator installed, please?

No - they are supplied as a zip download (or CD / disk if necessary) -
it contains a Windows installation program which installs everything you
need onto your PC.
We could make it run from disk without any problems, but that is
nowadays seen as an odd way of doing things!
