USB-50-ZX-SPECTRUM

I like the idea of creating a USB 50 (cassette 50) BUT!!! I like the idea even more if it weren't just my games involved in this concept, would you be up for providing your BASIC games to be featured in this project, if it were to happened? Maybe to save on any costs, a variety of games featured by different creators all together on an itch page completely FREE to all to download. The only cost involved is my time to upload them all to an itch page, which I would give my time happily with no costs involved, equals no worries 👍 😉 everyone is happy. All I need from you is your game, or games you wish to have featured, provided as a TAP file then emailed to me then I do the rest. If you want them on a USB stick then that is down to the end user to do. RULES *NO financial gain will be made by me, or anyone else, this is a strictly FREE for all project. *Depending on how many wish to take part only a maximum of 5 games each can be submitted, but! this may change if taking part numbers increase, therefore due to this reason please number (1) to (5) your games with (1) being your favourite to be featured. *P.G content only, the game(s) you submit must be suitable for all ages 12+ All types of games welcome, from a space invader game to a text adventure game, just keep it clean! *ONE itch.io account to display all the games - https://usb50-zx-spectrum.itch.io/ controlled only by the host, Animated AL. All games submitted will be set to FREE only, no donations. *If you wish to change your game, or update it after submission then please email me directly so that the change can be made. - speccybasic50@gmail.com *ALL ENTRIES MUST ONLY BE EMAILED TO speccybasic50@gmail.com *Those who do not wish to enter a game but would like to offer their knowledge in programming, such as with music or graphics then please help, but if a creator does collaborate with another programmer then they must credit them in the final submission. *All games submitted MUST also include a full written description, controls, objective to game etc... *If you can please provide as a TAP.file. 48K or 128K - add in your game description what version to use. *MACHINE CODE routines - Yes you can use them, but the main bulk of your game must be in the BASIC language. *A game programmed completely in Machine code or compiled will not qualify and will be rejected, REMEMBER this project is to keep with in the original spec of the 1983 original. *ART WORK - please provide any art work that you wish to accompany your game, if not screenshots will be used for the display on the itch page. *DEADLINES The plan is to make the itch page live January 2027, so last entries for submissions will be December 1st 2026. *The final product will only have 50 games available, if the submission goes over the 50 then i am happy to include a volume 2 but this won't be available until later in the year of 2027. *USB stick - this is down to the end user, if they wish to download the games on to a USB storage device then that must be at their cost, as this project is not funded. *A discord group has now been created if you wish to chat and offer help to others https://discord.gg/3BQj5gSWP - Plus The Spectrum Learning in BASIC facebook group is available too. *Once a month i shall host a LIVE stream focused on this project, providing updates and any other related news.
