| Remarks | Despite advertised as "50 fantastic games on one cassette", it's widely considered the worst Spectrum games compilation ever. It even inspired the creation of the annual CSSCGC Crap Games Contest, for developing intentionally bad programs. The list of program names is almost the same on all platforms although most actual programs have nothing in common. Presumably Cascade gave them the same names in order to reuse the same adverts. |
| Known Errors | Noteworthy errors: Motorway (A14) is recorded twice, once as 'MIC' and once as 'MOT'. Also, the filename 'MIC' was used twice, once for Microtrap (A13) and once for Motorway. |
