Contains the hint sheet, Interview with the Stamper brothers, founders of Ultimate and Rare, and instruction sheet.
There are two disks using both sides, due to the age of the disks, usually only one side will load.
On the cassette version the games were given new loaders which are more sophisticated than Spectrum owners are used to.
They start off with the usual identifying loader, then going into a hyperload, followed by a black screen, then a loading screen is drawn, and a counter then starts down to zero.
The 16K games used to take a few minutes to load, but now only around a minute.
