This is a very old but I think very interesting and important update for the PC section of our roms. I have compiled, zipped and made available the (almost complete) collection of the Big Blue Disk Magazine which was a disk magazine for PC users started in 1986 and ran until 1998 for 141 issues. It was renamed to On Disk Monthly on Issue #57 and again renamed to Softdisk PC on Issue #91.

Each issue contained several sections. Fun'n'Games presented some of the first games from the founders of ID. Helpware contained various applications. Picture This focused on computer graphics and Brainwave was primarily educational programs and finally Happy Hacker included programming tools, alternative DOS commands and articles on getting the most out of your DOS machine.

You will required DOSBOX to use these files.

Another day in the life of the new server and another massive update. It is time to finish our Sinclair ZX Spectrum collection. This update is as follows

22,500 ROMS Added to Sinclair ZX Spectrum

Thats correct folks, an additional 22,500 roms for the ZX Spectrum bringing the total roms to 23,754 Roms.

How many are official roms? I know for a fact there can't be that many official roms.
