YOUR SINCLAIR #64
The best way to spend your pocket money
IN THE DARK DAYS BEFORE THE INTERNET WE GOT OUR GAME NEWS FROM MAGAZINES. COMPETITION WAS FIERCE, BUT A GOOD COVERTAPE COULD STAND OUT AND TEMPT READERS INTO A PURCHASE. IN THIS MONTH’S COVERMOUNT CORNER, WE LOOK AT YOUR SINCLAIR #64, WITH A TAPE MORE STUFFED THAN EVER

THIS MONTH IN APRIL 1991
The covertape wars got more and more competitive over the years and in April 1991, Your Sinclair raised the bar with the Magnificent Seven. Crammed with seven things, the tape offered readers incredible value. The tape featured a stunning five full games. True, one was a reader game, but one was the fantastic
Spindizzy, and another was the first (unofficial) sequel to Street Fighter. There were also two games from French publisher Loriciels that were unreleased in the UK. Along with a demo of a doomed arcade conversion and a few POKEs, April was a bumper month for Spectrum fans.
