Compatible Titles
Availability of cartridge software was very limited: The cost was almost twice as much as the same game on cassette tape, and each cartridge could only hold 16 KiB, making it almost immediately obsolete as the majority of Spectrums sold were 48K-models, which the software publishers targeted.
Only ten games were commercially released:
- Jetpac
- PSSST
- Cookie
- Tranz Am
- Chess
- Backgammon
- Hungry Horace
- Horace and the Spiders
- Planetoids
- Space Raiders
Paul Farrow has demonstrated that it is possible to produce custom ROM cartridges, including the ability to exceed the 16 KiB design limitation of the ROM cartridges.

Famous quotes containing the words compatible and/or titles:
“As to happiness in this life it is hardly compatible with that diminished respect which ever attends the relinquishing of labour.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
“We have to be despised by somebody whom we regard as above us, or we are not happy; we have to have somebody to worship and envy, or we cannot be content. In America we manifest this in all the ancient and customary ways. In public we scoff at titles and hereditary privilege, but privately we hanker after them, and when we get a chance we buy them for cash and a daughter.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
