Wow, that's a great find and a killer easter egg.
It's got more than half of all their Spectrum titles in there.

An April Fools joke?
Great if it's not, but I'm a tiny bit suspicious.

IIRC someone had the same thought on the message board in that link, until he tried it himself. If it's an April Fools joke it's a damn good one.

Not just that, but apparently one of the ex-RARE guys said, "Yeah, it's legit. Here's a bit of info about how we got around including the copyrighted system ROM, too."

Also, who celebrates April Fool's on March 28th?

The internet has turned April Fools into a week instead of a day, it's been like that for a few years now. I'm not saying this Easter Egg is April Fools anything but rest assured the shit has begun.

Now that you mention it, I haven't realized it earlier.

Topic apart: "Sabre Wulf". I didn't know a Killer Instinct character was named after an old game.

Absolutely! I've seen the first mentions of April Fools over the last day or two. I guess that with it being on a Sunday this year, lots of people have aimed to finish their pranks by Friday afternoon.
But all that's off-topic if this cool thing is for real. Amazing that it took all this time to be discovered.

I haven't actually tried it, but ZX Spectrum w/o sound on N64 is totally doable, maybe with a little getting out and pushing.
