SPECTRUM COOL SITE OF THE MONTH

This month`s cool site is the web site maintained by FAQ author, Spectrum Database creator and all-round Speccy supporter Stephen Smith. He currently runs four interesting Web pages which you should take a look at now!

SPECTRUM FAQ

The latest Spectrum Games FAQ answers such questions as "What do the names of the Jet Set Willy rooms really mean?", "Is there a trailer in Lunar Jetman?" and "What games have hidden sub-games?" The latest updated version (see Spectrum News for more details) can be found at:
http://www.catalog.com/sjr/www/ss/gamefaq.htm

SPECTRUM DATABASE

A mammoth task being undertaken by Stephen is the collection of games instructions and details collected together in the Spectrum Games Database. See the special article for more details on the actual database, but if you would like to see the entries so far, point your browser at:
http://www.catalog.com/sjr/www/ss/gamedbs
ftp://ftp.nvg.unit.no/pub/sinclair/docs/games-database/

ARE YOU A TRUE SPECTRUM OWNER?

A great set of questions designed to test to see if you are a real Speccy User. Well written and very comical (to Speccy users at least!) It can be found at:
http://www.catalog.com/sjr/www/ss/specuser.htm

There is also an INSTANT SPECTRUM USERS COURSE, which I haven't had time to have a look at yet, but I'm sure its of the same high standard, so take a look yourslef at:
http://www.catalog.com/sjr/www/ss/specstrt.htm

If you would like your site, or a site you enjoy visiting included here, just drop us a line with its address and a brief run-down of what you can expect to find there and we will include it in the list.
