==========================================

Welcome  to  another  Issue  of the Speccy
Emulator   magazine,  Emulate!  Thanks  to
everyone  who  gave  us  such  a  positive
response  to  last  months  issue. You can
take   a  look  at  some  of  the  letters
received  later  in  the mag. We are lucky
enough   to   have   two  exclusive  games
featured  with  the  magazine  this month.
Firstly, obtained by our Assistant Editor,
a  pre- release version of Street Hawk and
Secondly,  an  excellent  new  JSW game by
Richard  Hallas,  entitled  `Join  the Jet
Set`. Also featured is the epic Bards Tale
and  two  great adventures. Thanks also to
all  who have contributed articles to this
Issue.  We  have  Part  2  of  our  Speccy
History  and  also  of  our Spectrum Games
Guide,  an article on the Database, Desert
Island   Disks,   a   guide   to  cracking
Doomdarks  Revenge and, of course, all the
regulars  such as Playing Tips, Adventures
and  the  new  Techincal  section. So, sit
back, put the power pack on a firm surface
and enjoy the mag!!

SPECTRUM NEWS

==========================================

SPECTRUM DATABASE ON NVG
All  the entries for the Spectrum Database
are  now  available  on  the  NVG UNIT ftp
archive.  The  entries  are  organised  in
alphabetical   directories   and  you  can
download  all  the  entries  you need. For
more   details   and  information  on  the
Database,   see   the   article   by   the
organiser,  Stephen  Smith,  later in this
issue of Emulate! Find the database at:
ftp://ftp.nvg.unit.no/pub/sinclair/docs
/games-database/
==========================================

DSNA VERSION 2
Vesrion  2  of  DSNA  is now available for
download on the NVG site. This new program
will  alow  you  to  examine the code in a
snapshot  and will even show you the basic
areas  of  code. Version 2.01 corrects and
small  scroll  bug  in  Version 2. You can
find it at:
FTP.NVG.UNIT.NOpubsinclairincomingDSNA

==========================================

SPECCY SENSATIONS PART DEUX
The  long-awaited  sequel  to  the  CD-ROM
Speccy  Sensations  should be available by
the  time  you read this. Part Deux boasts
emulators  for  all  major computers and a
massive  collection of over 3000 games! It
also    includes    games    cheats    and
instructions.   Everyone  must  find  some
games  on this CD which they don`t already
have!  Hopefully, we will include a review
of  this  CD in a future issue of Emulate!
but  for  those  who  can`t  wait, you can
obtain  this  Speccy  collection from EPIC
Marketing  on  01793  490988  - ask for CD
CODE 119. This will set you back 17.99.

==========================================

ALT.BINARIES.SINCLAIR
The   debate  rages  on  in  the  Spectrum
Newsgroup  about whether or not to start a
group    simply   for   posting   Spectrum
binaries.  There  seems  to  be  a similar
divide  of  people at the moment, so it is
unlikely to take-off, but we will keep you
posted here at Emulate!

==========================================

ALCHEMIST NEWS
A  new addition to the Spectrum archive at
NVG  UNIT  is the complete set of Alcemist
News,   a  tape  magazine  all  about  the
Speccy.  Issues  1-17  can be found in the
INCOMING   directory   at  NVG  UNIT.  The
majority  of  issues  are  in standard Z80
format,  although  Issues 10-17 are in TAP
and Microdrive format.

==========================================

SPECTRUM FAQS
Stephen  Smith  has  announced that he has
overhauled  the  standard  Spectrum  Games
FAQ.   The  newer  version  is  completely
HTMLised,   and   will  hopefully  include
pictures.  You  can  check  out the latest
version of the FAQ at:
http://www.catalog.com/sjr/www/ss
/specfaq.htm
You  may  also  want to have a look at the
main  Spectrum  FAQ, conatining more facts
about  the  technicalities of the Spectrum
and  news  of  the  current whereabouts of
some Spectrum "legends"! This can be found
at:
