I found this site a while ago and have been playing Starquake regularly. Had a look at "The Hobbit" tonight. Must get back into that again mod edit: no links to flash sites supporting playing of illegally held roms, While I know they are old, the games on the Spectrum are still covered by IP law. There are games out there…

I found this site a while ago and have been playing Starquake regularly.
Had a look at "The Hobbit" tonight.
Must get back into that again
mod edit: no links to flash sites supporting playing of illegally held roms,
While I know they are old, the games on the Spectrum are still covered by IP law.
There are games out there that are public domain but, such emulators may also use code that itself is covered by IP law.
Also, some people will argue that you never download the code yourself, and so the use of those sites is legal, and this may ultimately be
up to individuals to make a moral choice when they google them and use them at home.
Boards is a business and is answerable for content hosted, including links.
As such links to such sites and roms is prohibited, and this is why the link is deleted.
Thanks
