*  PART 1  - EDITORIAL AND NEWS  *
**********************************

Hello  and  welcome  to another edition of
Emulate!  Sorry  about  the  long wait for
this  issue,  but I took an extended break
over  Christmas  and the New Year! To make
up  for  that,  this  issue  is a bit of a
bumper   special   with   lots  to  digest
inlcuding  the  second  part  of the great
book  database,  plus  loads  of hints and
tips  for games previously featured in our
gamespacks!  Also,  all the regulars, such
as  the  Spectrum  History and A-Z. So why
are  you  still  reading  this  bit?!? Get
going!!

SPECTRUM NEWS

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

COMP.SYS.SINCLAIR CRAP COMPILATION

After  the  appearance  of the notoriously
crap  Cascade  50  games collection on the
NVG site, everyone on the Speccy newsgroup
has  been gripped by crap games fever!! So
much  so  that  it  has  been  decided  to
collect  together 50 crap games by posters
to Comp.Sys.Sinclair. By the time you read
this,  the  collection  should  be  nearly
ready, although you may still have time to
add  your  own gem to the collection. Just
send it to Blood at:
L.D.TONKS@BRAO202.WINS.ICL.CO.UK
Beware! Games may be terminally crap! Play
with care....

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

SPECTRUM/SAM FAIR

The  annual  Speccy and SAM fair organised
by Format magazine is due to take place on
the  2Oth  April  at  the  village hall in
Quedgely.  Quedgely  is  in the Gloucester
area  and  you  can get more details about
the   event  from  the  editor  of  Format
magazine,  Bob  Brenchley  on 01452 412572
(or FAX:01452 380890)

NEW GAMES AT NVG UNIT

There  has  recently  been  a flood of new
snapshots  appearing  at  the NVG UNIT FTP
site.   Aside   from   the   Cascade  gem,
mentioned  above,  you  can also find lots
more  rare and hard-to-get snapashots. You
can  find  the new ones in the directory :
pub/spectrum/snaps/unsorted

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

NEW SPECTRUM FAQ

Damien   Burke  has  now  taken  over  the
compilation of the Spectrum FAQ. Not to be
confused  with  the  Game  FAQ,  this text
covers  the  more technical aspects of the
Spectrum,  and also answers such questions
as   What   Emulators  are  available  and
describes  different  formats  of snapshot
which are available. You can find this FAQ
at  the Demon FTP site, or at Damien's own
Wb  site,  both  addresses can be found in
Part 14 of the magazine.
