SPECTRUM COOL SITE OF THE MONTH

In this section each issue, we will steal the cool site idea and have a look at some of the most popular Spectrum sites on the net. We'll start with the ever-popular NVG UNIT archives. Based in Norway, this site exists as both an FTP site and a collection of WWW pages. The FTP site, although not holding the largest collection of snapshots, beats all other sites hands down for other spectrum related files. It includes a large selection of Speccy-related pictures, including JPG's of old Crash covers and cassette inlays, as well as circuit diagrams for the old machines. A large set of instructions for games is also contained there. The WWW sites are excellent too, and cover a range of topics, including Spectrum PD and a great search engine which will search through all the FTP sites for a piece of software you are looking for. Well worth a visit - take a look at:
