Welcome to the first issue of Emulate!
The magazine dedicated to all aspects of
the Sinclair computer. Whether you are a
veteran to the Spectrum computer, or have
recently discovered the joy of colour
clash and monochrome through the use of
one of the many Spectrum Emulators now
available, this magazine is for you! This
first issue is really a test to see if
there is enough interest in the media to
justify further issues, although judging
by its renewed popularity, this market is
just beginning to take off again.
In this first issue, features include a
series of free snapshots to use on your
emulator and complete instructions for
each. They are also accompanied by its
original rating in one of the Spectrum
magazines and, where possible, extracts
from its original review. I will also sum
up by saying how the game appears now and
how well it has dated.
In the tradition of the old Spectrum
magazines, there will also be areas set
aside for other old reviews, a section of
playing tips and a column covering those
old favourites, the adventure games.
Hopefully, in future issues, we will be
able to feature readers letters and
queries, as well as answer requests for
playing tips.
This first issue has been produced in
plain text, so as to be readable on all
popular computers.
If you have any queries, letters,
comments or cries for help, all E-Mail
can be directed to me at the following
address and will be featured in a future
issue:
DOCTOR@DOCBARRY.DEMON.CO.UK
Also, any interesting articles you have
produced about the Spectrum computer,
send to the same address for inclusion in
a future edition of Emulate!

SPECTRUM NEWS
This section of the editorial covers all
the latest Spectrum news, mainly taken
from postings to the Comp.Sys.Sinclair
newsgroup.
=========================================
DIZZY COLLECTION ON NVG Thanks to the
combined efforts of David Crick and
Richard Hallas, the complete collection
of Dizzy games is now available on the
NVG UNIT ftp archive. This includes 4(!)
different versions of the original Dizzy
game, plus all the others in both 48k and
128k format. Definitely worth a look if
you have yet to discover the joys(?) of
Dizzy! The games should be located in the
Incoming directory.
=========================================
SPECTRUM DATABASE UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Stephen Smith is currently getting
together a complete database of every
Spectrum Game released. A mammoth task,
he obviously needs all the help he can
get! If you a prepared to lend a hand
typing out the instructions to some of
your Speccy Games, give him a bell at
STEVO@JONLAN.DEMON.CO.UK If you would
like to check on the progress of the
database, the list of entries can be
found on the WWW at:
HTTP://WWW.CATALOG.COM/SJR/WWW/SS/GAMEDBS
.HTM
=========================================
TOP 100 SPECTRUM GAMES SITE An excellent
new Spectrum Games site is currently
being constructed by John Stringer. The
site features a list of the favourite 100
Spectrum Games as voted for by members of
the newsgroup, and a snapshot of each
game is available for download! This site
can be found on the WWW at:
HTTP://GRELB.SRC.GLA.AC.UK:8000/~WEBSTER
=========================================
BUBBLE BOBBLE FAN CLUB Currently Anton
Belenki is looking for people to join his
Bubble Bobble fan club. Anyone who enjoys
the Bubble Bobble style game is
encouraged to get in touch with him to
swap snapshots. Just send him a note to
ANTON@GYM11.PERM.SU
=========================================
SNAPSHOT REQUESTS
Another regular section in the editorial
will be set aside to request any
snapshots you may be hunting for, but
still are unable to find. Send your
request here and maybe someone else will
come to your aid! Many of these requests
are also taken from the COMP.SYS.SINCLAIR
newsgroup, If you do possess any of the
following snapshots, it would be greatly
appreciated by the person in question if
you could mail them a note letting them
know and making arrangements to swap.
Failing that, you can always drop us a
note here at Emulate, and we will pass on
the news.
