I heard that you can program speccy games in MS Notepad and then save them with the .TAP
extension: is this true??

Not
as such, but you could save a Spectrum BASIC program as text and then use BAS2TAP
[http://www.void.jump.org/utilities.html#other ] to convert it to a TAP file.

I once edited a BASIC program on a TAP file
using a text editor, and then fixed the checksums using SPECSAISIE! (I changed the string
"1998" to "2000" prior to releasing the public beta of Jet Set Dizzy this
year.)
