Adjusted some of the colours and font sizes in both Creatures and Creatures 2 diaries sections.
Also after almost two years the cassette version loading tune for Retrograde has finally been dumped, it's not in the HVSC just yet but should be in the next release, but for those who cannot wait here it is.
I've also put the Disk version so you can compare the two, the Tape file is smaller as it only contains the loading tune where the disk file has all the other game tunes.
This was not ripped by me but by someone at the HVSC (High Voltage SID Collection) - http://www.hvsc.de/
Retrograde Tape Loader - SID - 4KB

Zzap! 64 is now celebrating it's 25th Anniversary this month as the very first issue came out in May 1985, the same year Gradius came out in the arcades.
Redone the two Zzap! World 64 logos as the others were a bit blocky, also changed the layout to make it the same as my new Gradius Home World section layout.
Cleaned up some of the site php code as it was a bit messy.
Redone the Creatures and Creatures 2 Torture Trouble logos in the Apex section.
Finally got around to adding some Radio Ace recordings, kindly recorded by Ben.
I've always been annoyed that the HVSC Retrograde did not quite sound right, I've now found out that the Disk version and Tape versions of the game loading music sound different, the Disk version has pauses when the Tape does not.
This may be intentional or just a bug between the cassette and disk releases of the game.

Retrograde Disk loading tune - MP3 - 7meg
I've put in a request to the HVSC people, lets see if I get a response.

After playing around with JSIDPlay, which is a very good for playing the tunes as it's better for filtered tunes, I had an idea to re-recorded Chris's version of the Delta Mix-E-Music loading tune.
I could not get the joystick working in JSIDPlay so I done the tune in WinVice, I've also attached the recorded file to play back in the emulator.
see the Music Cassettes section for the downloads.
