This file was initially tagged by WinTakeAll as Speedy (Speedydelete) and the most recent rationale was: No value in keeping this never-used screen capture of a primitive home-made retrocomputing game (like most of this bulk upload). The uploader even admits this is *crap* submitted to the non-notable "Comp Sys Sinclair Crap Games Competition". MichaelMaggs (talk) 13:56, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
- Our assortment of ZX Spectrum screenshots and ZX Spectrum video games is not that great. Until we have a large sample, I think also less (or not at all) notable games are worth keeping, as illustrations to what can and has been done on that machine. Remember the home computers were largely used by newbie programers, so simple programs are examples of typical use. --LPfi (talk) 22:03, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
Comment I am the original creator and uploader of this image. Contrary to the original deletion rationale, this file was in use for a few years and wasn't part of a bulk upload. It was previously used in the former comp.sys.sinclair Crap Games Competition article on en Wikipedia. That article and corresponding screenshots have since been migrated to a corresponding page on the the Sinclair FAQ wiki which is a more appropriate home for it. So, I am now neutral as to whether this particular image is also to be kept here on Commons or not. The puzzle game depicted was eventually reviewed in Micro Mart magazine issue 1096, pages 102-103. Just in case the file is kept, I have updated the file description since the deletion request so that it's slightly more informative and doesn't appear as a random file uploaded for no apparent reason.
