Then someone"'"pointed out what the initials spelt so we all"'"retired to the pub instead. Check out our free PD software in the classified section. We had more"'"fun writing it than you will using it."
1 ;"{L9882 Dear SC, Thank you for the fanzines. I enjoyed"'"issue one but it was very slow. The cartoon was great but wasn't in issue 2. In fact the whole of"'"the second issue seemed to have less in it and"'"looked rushed and pretty much unfinished. But I"'"look forward to issue three and like your content very much. A bit more of it maybe? Love Albie."

1 ;"There are a couple of essential rules in collecting your"'"Spectrum gear; don't buy original cassettes without actual"'"original covers (they are worth zilch) and NEVER buy any"'"Speccy from a boot fair if the owners look like they have a pit bull called Tyson. Take my advice, it won't work. If you buy a +3 from a dear old granny and a daughter who looks like Pippi Longstocking, and it STILL doesn't work, then your intuition is crap and you deserve jack shit."
1 ;"The sheer size of this game means it is very easy to get lost and become confused. A very real sense of panic sets in"'"when you realise your fuel is low and you are deep in enemy territory. This is the programs great plus point, it draws"'"you into the gameplay like your life depended on it!"''"A headlong thrash into the enemy doesn't bear much fruit in this game. You must use strategy and stealth to overcome"'"the vast defence system."
1 ;"The depth of gameplay is easily comparable to ELITE and"'"will have you coming back time and again for more"'"punishment and adventure. I've had this game for several"'"years now and I still havn't cracked it."''"Tau Ceti was released in 1985 to great acclaim. An expanded version appeared for the 128K featuring extra building types and improved sound. In 1986 the prequel, ACADEMY was"'"released, putting you in 'skimmer school' and having to pass"'"various tasks in order to graduate."

1 ;"Prepare to be amazed at what you can buy with your little pocket of small change. An average price would be very hard to quote but don't pay more than `1 for any piece of software. Don't pay more for what will probably be one beat up"'"cassette in a very large box. Check the actual tapes for"'"uneven reels which could be a sign of chew up. Check the"'"tape head pad for dirt, the more dirt the more use its had. Torn labels and boxes or scribbles will de-value your kit."
