Top speed is too fast for me, so arcade stars should be happy. Movement is in 8 directions, not just the more usual 4, which gives your joy- stick its rightful diagonals." 1 " You get a practice go at the computer's code before entering the maze. Speed is the essence. The inlay blurb seems to poke fun at a computer taking over the universe. Rash words which the writer will one day regret.": 1 " You do need a Kempston joy- stick for this one. The keyboardcontrols are loony, using the numbers from 6 to 0, but neitherthe cursor directions nor the Interface 2 joystick directions apply. Room for a mod here.": 1 " You control the white car via Kempston joystick or keyboard, and the yellow car is driven by the Spectrum in those odd micro-seconds when it isn't throwing scenery around the screen and whipping the road about.": 1 " You can use the Interface 2 sticks if you must, but up and down are reversed. Turn it roundand left and right are reversed.Hold it upside down, and the directions are right. Can you find the fire button?" 1 " With upgrades to 48K availableat around `20 however, I would strongly recommend taking the plunge, if only to get your pawson 'Penetrator'. Perhaps with a few more bytes, this prog could have had user defined control keys or more joystick options.": 1 " Visions claim that this prog- ram is full of bugs, and so it is, even if you don't count the snails. It is, of course, a ver-sion of 'centipede', and quite anice one, if that's what you're looking for." 1 " To get onto the high score table you have not only to com- plete the course, but beat the other car. I adjudge this quite impossible at level 5. Perhaps real life driving inhibits one. There is also a practice mode," 1 " This bit of gear can be made up in a few minutes using three 9 pin 'D' connectors and some wire, provided you can solder. 'D' connectors come in male and female, and rather then get intoa philosophical discussion about" 1 " The door codes are 3 digits entered according to a keyboard overlay, as the number keys con-flict with cursor controls. I wouldn't want to play this one without a joystick and four cupsof coffee." 1 " The basic idea is to stay on the road, choosing a speed ap- propriate to the driving condi- tions. You can also select the driving conditions from a menu of 5 circuits and five degrees of opponent's skill." 1 " Sinclair's Spectrum Interface 2 joystick ports are of limited use, because they imitate an oddset of keys not catered for by most existing software. Luckily,they can be reconfigured to giveone port imitating the cursor keys, which is much more useful." 1 " Shutting doors behind you willdelay Bogul, but the computer opens them up again and shuts others in your face. Evil, see? Having got to the computer youmust best it at mastermind and get out again with added Boguls.": 1 " Rather than modifying the in- terface itself, which you might one day want to use with ROM cartridges if the price is ever reduced to a reasonable figure, we have designed an adapter to fool the Interface." 1 " Pins identified by a solid coloured blob should be wired tothe pin of the same colour. The plain white pins should not be connected. Housing and cosmetic details are left as an exercise for you, dear readers!" 1 " Miner Willy is one of 1983's stars, so why did Bug-Byte wait until 1984 to send a review copyto this prestigious and influen-cial journal? This is especiallyodd as its author has recently transferred the rights to his own publishing company." 1 " Kempston or cursor joysticks are supported, but even so my keyboard took a beating from door codes being punched in. I often needed several attempts toget a door open, probably due topanic brought on by Boguls foot-steps approaching. Good effect." 1 " It's still a smashing program of course, whoever is selling itby the time you read this. With the mad piano, twenty different levels (and I mean different!), and a demo mode to give you a glimpse at all of them, you get" 1 " It's 'Corridors of Genon' in full, and it involves being pur-sued around a circular 3D maze by Bogul, who resembles the vac-uum cleaner beast from 'Yellow Submarine'. Your task is to get to the evil computer at the mazecentre and knobble it before it" 1 " Having gone on at some length elswhere about Silversoft pro- ducing mostly 16K games, I now find that Visions seem to have espoused a similar policy, so 16K users would seem to be well looked after." 1 " As my best results were gainedat an indicated speed of 30 MPH,I had a lot of trouble being runinto from behind if I allowed the yellow car any skill level above 1. You can easily summon up more speed than you can cope with, even on the easy circuits." 1 " A 3D road race game on a Spec-trum must represent the limit ofthe art. I know I've said that before but this time I'm sure! You don't get a wheel and ped-als of course, but most of the other features of the stand-up arcade version are incorporated." 1 " Press 2 or 3 for pages or Hold S for 1 " KEYS 1-5=UP"'" A-G=DOWN" 1 " $$$%% 1 START THE TAPE 1 SCOTLAND THE BRAVE 1 KEEP UP YEIR GUID WURK 1 `` @@ 1 @@@@@@ 1 @@@@ 1 1
