* spectrum_cass.xml: Added one game and a couple of demos
Just noticed that the only way to play the Spectrum version of Inspector Gadget was through its Russian bootleg arcade game "Brodjaga", so I added its only official release (was cancelled in the UK but released in Spain).
Also added a couple of demos that I found laying around in a very old backup, and which aren't already included in any cover tapes:
-LSD Megademo
-The Ren and Stimpy Slideshow (a kind of lame slideshow of a few black and white pics, but with a decent presentation)
