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 game for a historic computer. The uploader even admits this is *crap* submitted to the non-notable "Comp Sys Sinclair Crap Games Competition".. I am not totally sure, that the screenshot is out of scope. What do you think?

Comment As the original uploader, I can say that the image was used for a few years in the very first ever article I created on en Wikipedia, namely Comp.sys.sinclair Crap Games Competition. Understandably this article has since been redirected, hence this image is now no longer in use. I now agree the original article is more suited to a Sinclair-specific wiki rather than Wikipedia. As for the image itself, I now remain neutral on whether it is deleted or kept. It's quite a rare screnshot of characters generated by the Commodore VIC 20 ROM being displayed on the ZX Spectrum due to an embedded emulator. So I am pretty sure there are no similar images on Commons. Whether it will now realistically be used here or elsewhere however is certainly debatable. I notice four of the other images from that prior article have already been deleted (presumably speedy as I did not see any notifications - even though they are all freely licensed), so it doesn't really matter much either way now. Thanks anyway for the notification of the deletion discussion for this image. Rept0n1x (talk) 14:42, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
Keep In scope as an example of the ZX Spectrum computer's graphical output and style. Most programs for the computer are not licensed as free use so we are lucky to have what we do. This image has potential use for replacing commercial images in Wikipedia articles that want to show the graphical output without using a commercial image. Depending on the quality, I would also look at undoing the speedy deletes on: File:Benkid77 GoldenEgg.png, File:Benkid77 SpaceWhale.png, File:Smiler in Arrowe Land.png, File:Turbo Rubber Ducky Shootout.png. czar 16:16, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
