Please read the Notice on Copyright and Plagiarism before you download anything, or before you accuse me of anything!
Here you can download Spectrum-software that I've written and released in emulator-format. You can also read about the exciting Spectrum-software projects I've got planned for the future! So far, all the software here relates to Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy (apart from SPECSAISIE: a collection of utilities written in Java - some related to Spectrum-emulation in general, some MM/JSW-specific).
The programs are stored here as zipped TAP-files. For the uninitiated among you, a TAP-file is an encoding of a Spectrum-tape, and to play them you need a Spectrum-emulator - visit the comp.sys.sinclair Spectrum FAQ to find a Spectrum-emulator for your particular computer. If you're new to Spectrum-emulation, I refer you to Nick Aldridge's page How to use a Spectrum emulator (archived). If you still experience difficulties with unzipping or using these TAP-files, email me with details of the problem and I'll sort you out if I can!
