Caramba!

Yes, you are seeing what you are seeing.

In the beginning was the word... and for many of us that word was “Spectrum”.
How long ago that was... but it happened!

We will try to collect artifacts of the Spectrum era on this site.
Starting with cassettes.

We are especially interested in domestic cassettes with cracked games, non-standard loaders, redrawn splash screens and original cover art.

Read the Info section for tips on digitizing tapes and scanning covers.

Meanwhile, a quick tour of the site sections:

• Releases — different versions of games, system and other software. Cracked or adapted by various studios and people.


• Authors — in our case: crackers, distributors, translators.


• Cassette covers — a gallery of cover scans from across the former USSR.

The other sections are self-explanatory.
