Tested on: 

REAL SPECTRUMS:

Spectrum 16k - ( won't work )
Spectrum 48k - ( works but there is no music )
Spectrum + - ( works but there is no music )
Spectrum 128k - ( works )
Spectrum 128k +2 - ( works )
Spectrum 128k +2A - ( works )
Spectrum +3 - ( works )

CLONES:

Didaktik Kompakt - ( may work depending on model )
Timex TS2048 ( Portuguese Timex ) - ( seems "iffy" - may or may not work entirely )
Pentagon - ( works )
Scorpion - ( works )

Sorry I was unable to test it on more clones.
If you have another Spectrum clone or an emulator
of one you can easily see if it works though :)

             !!!PLEASE READ!!!

RECOMMENDED LOADING: ( Applies to emulators & real ZX Spectrums )

Since with 48k you won't get any music, for best 
results you should load this program on a 128k or 
higher Spectrum, BUT, load it in 48 Basic. NOT in
128 Basic, +3 Basic, Tape Loader or Loader. Just 
select 48 Basic from the menu and press Enter. Then
Type LOAD "" ( by pressing the letter J and typing "
two times ), press Enter and start the tape ( or
load the tape image if you're using an emulator,
whichever is the case )

Although the program WILL work in 128 and +3 Basic
there is a slowdown in the music during the scrolly.
For some reason this doesn't seem to happen in 48 Basic.

You can absolutely load this in either mode and it WILL
work either way, but 48 Basic will give better performance.

TO TRANSFER BACK TO A REAL TAPE:

To transfer back to a real tape for use on a
real Spectrum I recommend using the TZX version.

Okay, well, I hope you can enjoy it a little bit. 
It's simple but I'm no expert programmer I just 
felt like doing something nice for a friend. :) 

I would have released this sooner but I was waiting to
hear from the people at Assembly 2002 to enter the old
school competition. It was too late though but thank you 
Jani Halme for trying to help. I might of lost anyway,
then again if it was the only Spectrum entry then I 
couldn't lose! Wouldn't that have been nice. ;)

Thanks also to Zsolt Trencsenyi of 7gods Demo group for 
allowing me to use his cool music:

The next one may be better! :) Maybe I'll
enter into the graphics compos instead.

Bye.
