So what do you think: Are games converted from ZX Spectrum worthy?
I mean should they be counted as "Sam Coupe games", or not?
I think this list answers your question positive.
I assume we can skip regular ZX Spectrum 48k games which can be loaded (if we have got some luck :-) into a regular emulator. As I remember, I made a TAP file based emulator back in 1994, and I am sure many other good emulators do exist, which can load files from ftp.worldofspectrum.org without any conversions.
Use Martijn Groens emulator for 48K ones, it works with TAP, Z80, and PLUS D format. I set a manual to the community list, but I can send this as PDF to anyone who is interested.
But what about
- large games with multi-loading levels converted from tape to Sam disk
see above
- AY music converted to Sam Coupe Philips SAA chip
I got a lot of too.....
- 128k-only games converted to Sam - nonworking games fixed to work on Sam
I think these games can be counted, since you simply can't load a tape/snapshot file into an emulator and play it without any changes.
I personally made several conversions back in 1992-93, and I am sure other people did as well. So we could possibly build up a nice "Spectrum on Sam" game database. :-)
Here´s a start....
I found 12 diskettes full of ZX Spectrum 128k and/or multi-load games converted to Sam. I personally did mainly the tape->disk conversions, because it is the easiest part (and I was 13, eh, so it was quite hard for me either... :-). Later I also made a half-universal 48k+AY emulator, which supported 48k+AY snapshot files. Then I also converted some very simple 128k games (they just used 128k memory for AY music).
I also have some 128k-only games for Sam, like North & South (one of my all-time favourites :-) or Terminator 2.
If you have something which is not in my list, I am interested. To make things easier, contact me directly: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
So what do you think, and - especially - what games do you have got? I'm waiting your comments.
My comment? A database as you talked about is a fine idea. But I am in doubt that the most SAM users are having lists about their programs.
Best wishes Wolfgang (always on the side of the open minded SAM users)
