"We've never had such a

Frontlines had to smile — the
QL more popular than the

Current rumours aside,
Uncle Clive himself was
recently collared at a
business machine show and
admitted that he was thinking
about bringing out his own
business unit, Shame he
hasn't told anybody else at
Sinclair Research as they all
seem to be in the dark about
any developments — or
maybe it's a case of 'mum's
the word'.
In fact, Sinclair Research
doesn't seem to know the
official line either, Another
spokesman commented,
"Nothing will be launched
until next year." Hmmm,
maybe Sir Clive's going to
bring out a turbo driven C5

the board is Speccy and BBC

get this from Micronet:

they feel that OCP's offering is
better than The Artist! Shame
on Mr Everiss of OCP for

months of trouble-free

per cent of the cartridges
which is obviously causing
a lot of problems. Why
should this be?
John Williams, Grimsby.
46-, Well John, this usually
occurs because the
microdgke ROM doesn't
completely erase the tile
header and reads the old
header instead of the new
one. The best remedy is to
change the name of the file
regularly and copy the results
to a new microdrive so that
the old one can be
reformatted (which clears all
the headers) before reuse,

doesn't sound possible but
there it is. The program thal
I claimed was for Monty

On top of this, ZZ has
added a few POKEs sent in
by Edmund Baby of Staines
that'll stop the screen going
blank each time you enter a
new location. Now you'll be
able to see how Bo's gra-

OF D E A T H
Artic/r6.95
Ra ch a e l After ditching their
Terminal Tapes and crashing the
Morbid Microdnves the
contestants settled on Fatal
Floppies, a game played by
dodging the deadly discs of the
title. Sound easy? The only
problem is that you're standing
on tiny platforms, so room to
manoeuvre is limited to a step on
either side.
It seems this somewhat surreal
space duel is based on the
movie Trot?. It's certainly different
from your average sport
simulation, taking place in a
checkerboard stadium obviously
designed by Deli. Luckily, the
computer takes care of your
lumping so there's no slipping
into space, but apart from that
you're on your own. The rest of
the memory has obviously gone
to playability and providing a
mean opponent. If you have time
during all this frantic frisbee
action try to pick up tips from his
behaviour, firing off a volley of
discs then jumping to one side
while you're busy using your
rapidly diminishing shield or
taking evasive action.
A bit of strategy is called for to
make sure all your discs aren't in
the air when you need them, but
basically this is a test of
reactions and moves so fast it's
easy to get drawn in. It's just a
disappointment that the third
screen is like the first, Only faster
and with a guided disc that locks
onto you bringing the game to a
quick conclusion, And wrap your
ears round the superb robotic
soundtrack.
I was hooked for a time bull
can't see myself returning often. If
only there could have been a
true player vs player option
instead of lust you and me
against the micro. A trifle
overpriced? Perhaps.

puppet show that had no strings attached. Of course, I'm not old
enough to remember the original, but the Ed tells me they've got the
logo, the music and even Thunderbird One taking off from under the
pool dead right. But after that it wouldn't raise a F.A,B from Parker,
Mlady.
Back on earth Thunderbirds 1 and 2, flown by Scott and Virgil,
have to rescue two Egyptologists trapped beneath a pyramid with
air running out. Both ships have to be flown in concert around the
maze to rescue the asphyxiated archeologists — using the loaded
gear to overcome obstacles or pick up treasure.
The maze is made trickier by different blocks dropping fore and

waking up, don't you? I'm in

buzzing with life — not to

with mail. Y'know, its people

(Give 'em a quick polish,

"Anyway, here are some
tips to help others get at
least as far as I've got.
(Hopefully no further!)
Collect the two stoppered
bottles mentioned in the
article Gothic Horrors, Your
Spectrum 20, but don't use
them to increase your life
force as it says there — you
cannot complete the game
without them. Take the
Crown standing on the top
of the pillared doorway over
the drawbridge. In the caved
area, using the crown, you
should find a secret room.
Here you'll find the dead
King and a book The Book
of Light? Oh no, this is a
very clever deception. Slide
the body off the platform.
The platform is divided in
three, slide off the nearest
section from right to left and
jump inside. You fall into a
room containing the real
Book of Light!"
What happens next? Hah!
You'll have to wait till next
time to find out. Oh yes you
will! (Oh no we won't) Look
here mate, this isn't a school
Panto, you'll wait when I say
so.
Bryan Charlewood (aka
Harry the Ha/fling) sent me
this note about Avalon.
"Jerry Tatturn's letter Your
Spectrum 19 was virtually
useless to newcomers to
Avalon, so I've sent you
these tips.
"To find the Cup (chalice)
go to the Goblin Warrens
and find the unopenable
door. Use the Open spell
from unde r the sack in the
mines, and enter. Take the
Reveal spell from the
skeleton's ribs and open the
right hand door. Use the
Reveal spell to find the Cup.
Its in the middle of the wall
around the top.
"Next the sword Caliburn.
Find the lady's picture on
the Labyrinth Level (from
the spell Message) then go
to the door on her left then
on to the Scorpion room.
Missile it, and use the find
spell from the same level."

Phhhhzzztttt.... Hi again! Now's the time to introduce my lab lave
games players of the month. Firstly we have Scott Donaldson from
Hamilton in Scotland. Scott's been working really hard on Rankle.
But then he needed to to end up with a Score of 83,250! Following
Scott, there's weirdo Jonathan Meller (I have a feeling Jonathan
would prefer to stay anonymous!), who's been playing Nodes Of
Yesod and come up with a score of 39%. Pretty good Jonathan, so
why are you too ashamed to flash your fizog? Anyway, last but not
least on this list of Hex's Hews is Villein Kressler from far-off (far
out?) Switzerland. Hmmm, do they have electricity over there? Well,
Valetin seems to have plugged in, 'cos he's got a score of 198710 in

Agood ploy when entering a new room is
to pause the game right away. This allows
you to survey the territory at your leisure,
without being hassled Snee-key!
Crosses allow you to walk across the

you don't gel topped before you make it lo

FIGHTING WARRIOR
Hints 'n' tips sent in by Alan Charles of West Yorkshire.
The backgrounds give you a clue as to
how tar into the game you are. They go
like this: start screen, desert desert,
Cleopatra's Needle, desert. desert.
Cleopatra's Needle. On the second needle
scene, an extra vase appears, bigger than
the rest. Stdke II and the temple door
appears. Once inside you must light to the
death with a winged creature, who's
defending the Princess. Make sure you've
got loll of stamina though, 'cos every
strike you make will cod you a point. To
release her you must strike her bandages
with an upper cut. Then she's all yours.
02000
Always go for the mid-strike when you're
attacking the current enemy i t seems
to take less time than the other strokes on
offer. Yoe. ii makes your fingers hurt but
hang in there The real key to the game is
persistence.

It's essential that you arm yourself as
soonas possible, unless you're a very test
runner. The Sept Warriors will tear you to
bits in two shakes at a tentacle. Gel the
gun permit out of the supply locker on Elk
level, put in the kev slot on Daly level, and
pick up your gun from the locker to your
left. Put it Into a charge point to power it
up, or you won't get anywhere. Happy

up

Okay, so you're called a 'games
.a
designer' — but isn't that just a fancy
way
v of saying you're a programmer?
No,
e it's not. Anyway, I'm really a
'generalist'.
r I come up with the ideas,
design the game and get involved in the
a
programming. But it's really all down to
g
teamwork. I head a team of technical
people
e who're the best in the industry.
A real good game requires good team
concept — there's a lot of mutual
respect.
Your games are all bestsellers, but
how do you suss out what's going to
be a megahit?
We play a lot of games as games
designers. We know what people are
playing today, why they're enjoying
them. We must design games people
will enjoy a year from now. For example.
when the market was flooded with
space games. I did Pitfall_ People
Obviously wanted it, it's been incredibly
successful. Basically. I watch what other
people are doing — and try to do
something different.
Do you personally research all your
games?
When I was doing Ghostbusters, I spent
a lot of time on research. I got hold of a
video of the film and watched parts of it
over and over again. Real spooky.
Didn't you get bored with the fi lm?
No, I loved it.
How did you get involved in
Ghostbusters?
Columbia and Activision approached
A K E A S Y
one another to see how the film might
lend itself to a good computer game.
Discussions were underway before I got
involved. When I was asked if I'd like to
do Ghostbusters, I'd just seen the
movie the night before so I went back
the next day to see it again. I wanted to
see how an original game might be
designed based on the film.
Who's your favourite character in
Ghostbusters?
The Marshmallow man. . . no. not really.
I don't think I have one — I just like the
interaction between all the characters,
Do you believe in ghosts?
I don't actively believe in ghosts,
although people have reported seeing
them. I think there may be little
computer ghosts.
Are you obsessed with little people
because you're so tall?
never really thought of it like that.
About a year ago my research team
and I decided that little people inside
computers were to blame for
unexplained hardware and software
performance. We decided to design a
comfy environment to entice the little
people out. The result was a 2 '/,, storey
house where the little people go about
their daily business, eating, sleeping,
listening to music and playing the piano.
Each little person has a name and is
slightly different to the next, but all
share basic traits such as responding to
love and attention — a pat on the head
works wonders!
Isn't It all a bit daft?
Heck no. Back in the States there's a
woman who bought three extra
Commodore 64s just so her whole
family could each have their own little
person.
Hmmm, buying Commie 64s in the
first place sounds a bit daft to me!
Have you got any favourite little
person? And is it true that some of
them are transvestites?
Well, Wallace and I had a good time, and
Zeke baked cookies once. As for the
transvestites. I've never met one, but I
guess there's all kinds living in these
computers,
What are your plans for the future?
Nothing at the moment. I've just finished
this one so I'm taking time off at the
moment. I tend to limp along and then
something suddenly hits me and an idea
comes
Are you a trainspotter?
What's one of them?

print the final contender so if you still want to have a crack at it, put your program in the post now.
So, who's going to do the judging then? You are! When all the programs have been printed, we'll remind
I you N good each one was and ask for your votes. If you've missed out on any of the entries, you'll

If ever you find yourself in a dinghy up to your w ellies in w at er in t h e
middle of the Atlantic O cean , that' s t he time you'll reg ret not typing
in this program. Is it dot, dot, dot, dash, dash, dash or dash, dash,
dash, dot, dot, dot? Well, it's glug, glug, glug for you shipmates!
Unless you learn to crack the code — m o rse code, that is. This
program has tw o modes. Firstly, m essag es — type in a m essag e
and your Sp eccy will blip it back to you. Secondly, let t ers — your
Speccy will blip out a let t er and you h ave to type it in. If you h aven ' t
a clue w h ere to st art , panic not 'cos you'll find a t able of the mo rse
codes in t h e program.
Right, dash it off if you don't w an t to go dotty — or end up at the
bottom of Davy Jones' s locker!

It's a race against the clock, as
you take on some of the
fiercest Kung Fu fighting Ninjas
the Spectrum has ever seen.
Would-be anarchist Sue
Denham dons her fighting togs
and battles through the
endless maze of Duren
Software's smash game
Saboteur.

There have been a fair few martial arts games

released or due for imminent release on the
Spectrum of late — System 3's interne/on&
Karate, Melbourne House's The Way Of The
Exploding Fist, Imagine's Vie Ar Kung Fu and
USGold's Bruce Lee to name but a few! But
none is quite like the latest offering from Ourell
Software.
The scenario for Saboteur thrusts you into the
part of a sabotaging Ninja warrior, sneaking
around an enemy warehouse that's much more
than it seems at first sight. Your task is to
search out a floppy disk from one of the many
computer terminals scattered around the
computer complex and escape with it But
before you go. you've got to leave a little
present for your pursuers — a time bomb.
Which doesn't leave you too much room to
negotiate a safe path home!
The game itself comprises 118 different
screens, which all go to make up the four-level
warehouse— there is the warehouse itself, a
computer complex, and two layers of
labyrinth-like sewers: the latter areas have a
tendency to look the same, which can be a
great problem for those who have an aversion
to making maps of the best route to safety.
All the weapons a self-respecting Ninja could
want, can be found by stumbling across them
on your adventures. But you can only hold one
weapon at a time and, once you've used it,
you'll have to search round for another. Points
are awarded for killing the guards — by
weapons or skilful use of martial arts — but
your real adversary is time a n d the final
objective of stealing the floppy disk and getting
clear of the warehouse before the fuse bums
down.
Overall, the game is addictive and great fun.
There are nine levels of difficulty — but on the
easiest level, you can work out the structure of
the game and prepare yourself for the terrors
of playing at the higher levels. Map-makers will
be in their element when they first start playing
the game, but it will be the rugged Kung Fu
fighters who will out in the end.
Saboteur manages to combine the good
graphical representations of the other Kung Fu
games with the solid background of an
action-packed story. One to be recommended.

bound Speccys, its appeal will be limiteo
to people with such pastimes as running a
business from home, running a club and
so on. More useful for most of us is true
background printing — you can continue
to work (at full speed) while printing out a
finished document.
The Writer also has a communication
program t o allow fi les t o b e mov ed
between tape, microdrive and other com-
puters connected to Interface 1 RS232.
The files can be in The Writer format, plain
ASCII text or in WordStarformat This'll let
you move documents between other word
processors and micros. Unfortunately,
the program is more awkward to use than
The Writer and the so-called ' WordStar
compatible' option is a bit of a con.
Although it handles the basic conver-
sion, it doesn't translate WordStar for-
matting information such as page breaks
and underlining into the relevant T he
Writer codes. And if you follow Softech-
nics's manual and use CP/M's PIP pro-
gram to send the WordStar fi le to the
Speccy, you can get the conversion done
anyway by adding I.Z to the PIP command
(read your manuals guys!). Going the
other way, The Writer sends the wrong
sort of carriage returns to the WordStar
machine. So, either way, you've got to re-
edit the fi le once it's been transmitted.
You might as well do the job yourself using
ordinary microdrive commands — The
Writeris about as WordStarcompatible as
Tas word and Word Manager!
The other utility you get is a program to
convert Tasword it files to The Writer for-
mat — it's about as awkward as the com-
munication program although it does do
its job.
The Writer is damn impressive — our
pre-release version shows only one seri-
ous bug — if you hold the down arrow
down all the way to the end of the docu-
ment and keep it down, the keyboard buf-
fer packs up and you'll have to switch off.
There are others — try replacing 'a' with
'aaaaa' — but nothing you c an't work
around. However, for all its features, it has
one major flaw — you can't alter the line
spacing of your text! Softechnics swears
blind that you'll b e able to before it's
released — so it might be a while before it
hits the streets!
THE LAST WORD?
Meanwhile, OCP must be kicking itself
over Word Manager. True. it has some
welcome features — it's the only one of
the three that doesn't seem to slow down

Adventure

f 9. 95
Yessirt Seas Of Blood is just the
sort of thing a depraved,
bloodthirsty cavalier like myself is
looking for! When you get this
one slotted into your tape deck,
the first thing that comes up on
the screen is 'found blood!' More!
Give us more!
And more you'll certainly get.
Forget the goody-goody nonsense,
and get stuck into this mega-
number from Messrs Livingston
and Jackson of Fighting Fantasy
book fame. You take the part of a
vile, blood-spilling pirate who has
nothing better to do than sail the
Inland Sea getting into scrapes
and pinching other people's
riches.
You start off on board your
good ship the Banshee with your
evil smelling crew. You must 'Sail
North' (or 'South', or wherever
the fancy takes you) until you
come across a port or another
ship. You'll have more fun
meeting a ship, though, 'cos it's
tally ho and into the fray!
The combat routines are great
fun and quite similar to those used
in the original books. Whenever
you encounter the enemy, two sets
of die (one for you and one for
the opposition) start spinning on
the screen to determine the
outcome. After a few throws one
or other of you will end up as
food for the sharks!
When you come across a port,
you can 'Go ashore' or 'Go (name
of port)' and engage the natives in
a battle of the die, or should that

Remember how you found your
way
! around Sherwood 1; nest by
keeping a close eye on the
display? Well, you can do the
same thing here, should you find
yourself lost in the inevitable
jungle.
The trouble with this game
though, is that it ignores
everything it doesn't understand
—that wouldn't be too bad, but it
also ignores some things that it
does understand! For example, if
you type 'Wear helmet' (and you
haven't picked it up), the program
replies 'You can't do that yet', so
you 'Get helmet* and then find
that 'Wear helmet' is ignored! If
you check the inventory you'll
find you're actually wearing it.
This is a real bloodthirsty
megaromp that no pirate should
be without. The blurb claims 300
graphic locations hut a lot of these
are just stretches of empty ocean.
By the way — you certainly ain't
gonna find it easy to map. Stick to
the shore till you've found your
way about, Stick to this game me
hearties and you'll have a ho, ho.
ho and a bundle of fun.

Ruptesiones a Lords Of Midnight
clone — it's got sleepless nights
it. In some respects it's better than
its predecessor in others it's not.
What about the story? Yes, you
guessed it — nasty ores are
marching down from the north
(they always come down from the
north) and knocking the stuffing
out of the friendly, heroic folk
they come across. As usual,
there's a mega-nasty looming in
the background called Kodimir
and you've got to get out there
and give him what for!
You control three heroes, an elf
sorry, I mean Greymarel the
wizard and a warrior called
Morval. These three must sally
destroy the evil Kodimir.
Know what I mean when I say
it's a Lords Of Midnight clone'?
But although Runeswne only
allows you to control three
characters it does offer you all the
usual text input facilities you'd
expect from a rip-roaring
adventure.
While you're busy typing in
commands like 'Tell Skrimnal to

Cheaper it may be but good it's
not. It's full of naff jokes and
everytime you make a move
you're a gonner. I mean, what's so
funny about being cut off in your
prime by being shot at with great
green lumps of snot! Ugh!
You play the part of Sir Tappin
hut I reckon you'll soon get tired
of tappin' those keys. The
graphics aren't that hot either, and
they're even the same for different
locations occasionally.
It'll take you ages to get
anywhere in the game 'cm the
program kills you off at every
opportunity. Still, it is cheap.
Perhaps that's all that matters
perhaps!
get lost', something you'll want to
do pretty often, 'cos he's a right
pain in the hauberk, the graphics
will depict the landscape in the
direction you're facing. You can
only move in four directions,
though, hut at least the
movements are smooth,
The piccies aren't as pretty as
Mike Singelton's ones but they do
the trick, and, if you want to
treasure them forever you can
always use the COPY command
to dump them to your ZX printer.
That's if you haven't already
donated it to the local museum.
You can even have a quick
natter with the characters and
better than that you can give 'cm
a poke in the eye, There are some
great combat sequences and you'll
have even more fun if you rush on
in there without a weapon. I had a
great round of fisticuffs with
Skrimnal the Sly, who deserved
everything he got!
All this and you can cast spells!
Or rather Greymarel can. One
slight problem — he forgets the
spells at the start of the game.
Maybe a quick box round the
lughole will jog his memory!
There ain't no doubt about it,
Runesione's a smasher — you'll
get to plaster a load of nasties and
see the countryside. That can't be
bad for only 0.50.

ATHSENTENCE... t l a t t

How long does it take you to

crack an adventure? And just how
much truth is there in the blurb on
the cassette inlays that says things
like, 'This adventure could take
you months to solve!' and 'A
year's worth of entertainment for
only I.5!'? Well, Martin Mulrany
of Grangemouth writes in to say,
'I'd just like to comment on your
statement in Your Spectrum 20
about Graeme Smith completing
Red Moon in only one week — 'a
record for Level 9 adventures'. I
completed Lords Of Time in well
under a week after its release!"
Hmmm s o , what's your
quickest completion time on a
scream of despair followed by
some very Ancient Celtic
incantations — none of them over
four letters!

game? And did you feel cheated
when you'd done it?
Talking of the shortest time that
you've ever completed an
adventure in. write in and tell me
just how many you've finished.
Are you up there with John and
Patricia Black who've completed
no less than twenty on their
overheated Speccy — including
Robin of Sherwood and Valkyrie
17. one of my all-time faves. Or
perhaps like last month's El
Supremo, John Wilson of
Rochdale, you find it easier tolot
up the games you haven't yet
completed! Are there any games
you get stuck on, John?
Following last month's
shenanigans with the characters
from Sherlock, David Graham has
spotted some very odd goings on
in the game. lie writes, "I was in
Basil's house in Leatherhead, I
opened the safe in the presence of
Chief Inspector Straker and
Doctor Watson. I'd brought them
along as a safeguard 'cos the last
time I tried it alone Basil shot me.
This time he still shot me — with a
policeman present! Now who in
his right mind would shoot
someone if he was trying to prove
that he didn't kill Mrs Jones or
Mrs Brown, It's all a bit strange,
methinks!" Methinks so too. And
how many of you have one of the
early versions of the game in
which Dr Watson got a trifle over-
chummy with Holmes and kept
sitting on top of him.
Mind you, if you think that's
had what about the infamous bug
that appeared in Legion, a game
from Software Projects. It was in
this immortal classic that you
could go UP but you couldn't get
back DOWN again. When I rang
the company for help all I heard
on the end of the line was a
flippin' obvious! Ed)
Gregory Timmis is crying out
for help with Sherlock so look
him up in the list and drop him a
life-line. Even better if you're
incarcerated in the Goblin's
Dungeon in The Hobbit as he'll
be able to help you. That must
surely be one of the biggest
prisons in the world if you can
judge by the number of people
still stuck there. Well, for all those
of you doing porridge, Greg has
your free pardon. Before you go,
try breaking the trapdoor that
you'll find underneath the sand. If
you enter Break Trapdoor and
then press Symbol/Shift 2
repeatedly, you'll be presented
with Thrain*s Key that unlocks the
side door in the I.onely Mountain.
Calling Spiderrnen everywhere
—Stuart Galen get you out of a
sticky situation. Try ripping the
picture in the penthouse and
taking the paper. Then take the
exotic chemicals, go to the lab and
MAKE WEB. Then use the web
to stop the fan.
Alexander Kruczkowski has
some very bizarre clues for Erik
The Viking— buy the tabby cat
for 2oz of gold/silver then tie the
bell to it, open the slab door and
cut the beard with the clippers.
Hmmm, come back Monty
Python, all is forgiven!
Finally, when you come to
scour the lists of names, pay
special attention to poor old K R
Hill — he's stuck fast in Wrath Of
Maga. Now I rate this game but
we never seem to receive any
letters about it. Is there anyone
out there who's been playing it
and would like to spill the beans?

t • Shielding is essential if you don't want your droid to die in

th • Every modern droid is equipped with a certain percentage
e of self-repairing and regenerative circuits to allow it to work
fi even when damaged. When a droid breaks off from an

per cent healthy, the circuits will top up the droid's energy
Supplies.
• Fuel is essential to a droid's survival — moving, seeing and
fighting all use up energy and its rare that any droid that
\ starts with less than 50 units of fuel will live to fight again.
_ 1 However, you can use autorepair circuitry to keep the fuel
topped up.
• Although fighting droids are of limited intelligence, they still
need to be programmed for the fight. Programming can make
all the difference between life and death. This first setting is

• Set your Pain threshold very carefully — too high and the
droid will be dead before it has retreated — too low and it
won't stick around long enough to shoot back!
• Attack Range also needs careful setting — too far away and
el weapons are unreliable. Once long range weapons are used
up. a high attack range also confuses the droid!
• When it's had enough, a droid will attempt to retreat and
recuperate. This setting is the time the droid will spend
running away before it turns around and goes back in to the
