Poking, again, inside the packet of files about Entercom(Enterprise BBS), I have found a key-word: K221.

It seems to be the hardware used on the Bugtronics modem card. Inside the datasheet there is this schematic:

Didn't see any mentions about this game at EPForever

This is a Sokoban clone. Written on Zzzzip'ed IS-Basic. Loads only from tape (because it looks for unnamed/any file)

Controls
F,V,N,M - Movement
Esc - Exit to menu

Nice find!

Probably this is the reason why it is an unknown game.

This is a Sokoban clone.

This game has some bugs. I fixed two of them: TEXT 40 and SET KEY CLICK OFF have been inserted to the loader. However, INPUT is very bad: if you type letters instead of numbers, the program stops with an error message.
I don't know if it possible to modify the level loading part. It works only with the tape. This program was compiled using Zzzip, we don't have the original basic program. I don't know if the author (Kiss Attila Csongor) is available.
Slashnet, where did you find this game?

I am slowly sorting out archives downloaded from various sites on the Internet. Now I can't even tell where I found it.

I think from Zemen's disks.

One user bought EP with original cassettes and cartridges which were sold through the editorial office of the magazine "Техника-Молодежи".

Hope soon we've got cassette dumps.

And question: is it possible dump ROM cartridges using cassette interface?

judging by the cover on the cassette: https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/537/ZX-Spectrum/Antics


Another interesting nuance is that games are not loaded without custom cartridges (such a copy protection).

Possible write small program which save cartridge to binary file.
Then it is loaded from PC via audio cable, then record the saved file.

Nice, as i see all tapes have it's own cartridge :D :D
And i think, all programs are Speccy conversions, just they were performed in Ukraine.
What the sound like of the programs? Like EP, or Speccy?

Great find!

Maybe the Rom in the cartridges acts as a ZX emulator?
