1 ;"{L9888 Dear SC,"'" i was most entertained with the feature on board game"'"conversions and thought you could add these two to the list. now, its not exactly a real board game but leisure"'"genius' scalextric could qualify as being just as point-"'"less to cover as subbuteo! the game itself is terrible,"'"apart from the fact you can build your own tracks (and believe me, it's more entertaining than racing on them)."

1 ;"{L9881 Look in any back issue of the late Speccy mags and you'll"'"see loads of fanzines that announced their arrival in the"'"smalls, lasted one issue or maybe two, then vanished without so much as a comedy ploppy sound."''"OUTLET is made of sterner stuff, having lasted some seven years in tape/disk format. Essentially for the programming"'"side, each monthly issue is packed with routines, utilities,"'"small games, letters, adverts and features. The odd PD demo is also included."

1 ;"to find a demo which had already been on a YS covertape in 1991! There have been several blinding demos this year alone without featuring things that are three years old! The utili-"'"ties were useful (as always) but the people at OUTLET really are taking the piss for charging this much for a collection"'"of PD programs. There are so many things that I'd like from OUTLETs back issues, and with a bit of hunting I'll get them all from libraries instead."

1 ;"on your side, battling the 'evil' of communism. That sort of bullshit went out with Reagen and the Berlin wall. I think we can excuse War/Strategy games seeing as they are usually"'"based on real historic events - unless of course you're some American tosser still unable to come to terms with losing"'"Vietnam! They never miss a chance to twist that one... Any other drastic changes in software content you'd be hard"'"pressed to find."

Her close friend Stu Campbell would be a"'"much better choice. I enjoyed her work on YS very much but having found out it was just a blatent career move, what"'"the fuck is she doing as a Speccy club president?? Sort it"'"out Prism!"
1 ;"i could mention tons of games that push the speccy to"'"the limit and knock spots off of something like 'their"'"finest hour' which only old twats play more than once."'"can we have some music to listen to whilst we are"'"reading the mag? steve cheese, granadaland.";

1 ;"WHAT WAS THE SINCLAIR CODENAME FOR THE"'"ORIGINAL 128 HEATSINKER MODEL";
1 ;"There are probably some very sick"'"home grown adventure games hidden"'"away in the odd shoe box never to"'"see the light of day. But if a well"'"known software house can release a"'"game about Jack the Ripper, why will"'"something like 'Murder on the Moors'"'"or 'God Told Me to Do It 128' still"'"make the front page of the Sun?"'"And it would you know, just try it"'"and see."
1 ;"The usual competition rules apply, whatever the"'"fuck they are. The clue is: WANK FOOTBALL TEAM FROM THE EAST MIDLANDS. Entries by Sep 30th."
1 ;"The Trap Door was a kids tv show that has now"'"passed through the hole in the wall marked 'CULT'."'"Roughly translated that means: Kids didn't under-"'"stand or like it and adults think its neat. It was a"'"riot of colour plastercine animation with a hint of"'"saucy double meanings. And yes, it WAS great!"
1 ;"SPECTRUM UK is a 'tangible' fan/magazine (i.e. you can roll it up and squash insects with it). The enthusiasm from the writers really drive the magazine along. The latest issue,"'"number 8, is the last to be A5 in size. The enlarged version will be a pound dearer but then paper doesn't grow on trees (TM crap remark). What is certain is that I get nothing but good vibes from this mag. It blows its own trumpet loud"'"enough to break windows but you probably need to to cut"'"through the apathy that is out there."
1 ;"Prism PD runs its own bi-monthly magazine called PD POWER which comes with an optional covermount tape/disk. It has"'"the looks only a mother could love but quite a good read is to be had. Ex-YS Editor, Linda Barker writes a column so":
1 ;"Oh, I did promise the regulars an in depth look at football"'"management games for this issue. Shall I save it for issue 9 or shall I spill the beans and name the ultimate 48k sim to"'"beat all management sims? Well actually there isn't one -"'"they are all flawed! I've been spoiled with playing Premier"'"Manager 2 on the PC - why can't we have something like"'"that on a 128K?"
1 ;"Most of Don Priestly' games have featured these big colour-"'"ful sprites including Popeye, the curious Benny Hills Madcap Chase, and Trap Doors sequel, Through the Trap Door. Go back in time a little more and you unearth some great, if a"'"little off-beat, titles like Minder (a cockney adventure!) and Dictator, which first appeared on the ZX81 and had you"'"running a banana republic. Originality with winsome appeal"'"certainly set him apart from most programmers."

1 ;"I won't go into details about the CHIC COMPUTER CLUB as"'"it is crap, as is FORMAT magazine - the supposed magazine for Spectrum and Sam Coupe owners (as long as you have a Coupe - if you don't have one, or intend buying one from"'"them, then they won't want anything to do with you)."''"There is much support out there for the Spectrum, you've"'"just got to put a few stamps on a few self addressed"'"envelopes (say hello) and you'll be suprised just how much."''"ADRESSES IN CLASSIFIEDS."

1 ;"Goodbye to Dave 'Fudgepacker' Fountain, in true"'"Speccy mag style - gone onto greater things like PD demos and utilities. Actually, he just got bored shitless with SC which is fair enough! Back to"'"40K for this issue but look out for Novembers"'"issue 9 - It's going to be fucking monster!"
1 ;"FISH is another real magazine to deal death to gnats, wood"'"lice and daddy long legs. Costing only 30p with a SAE it"'"weighs in at 14 A4 pages and is packed with text to read"'"and graphics from games etc. Very enjoyable. It even has its own supplement called FISH2 which comes on tape or +D and is free. I enjoyed the PBM section from issue 7 and will no"'"doubt soon be managing a football team or two in the"'"Pontins Better Homes and Vaginas league. Or something."
1 ;"Despite the full solution being printed in many";
1 ;"Been a bit slow lately for new (old) software coming in as"'"we were waiting on a +D arriving. No point in archiving new demos and utilities onto cassette if we've got to squirt the"'"bastards onto disk two weeks later. I've discovered a great"'"software shop in Scotland that is dead cheap so I'm looking forward to some new games to play soon."

1 ;"A glance at Amiga and PC games proves that sexist attitude and imagery still sell rubbish products. The milestone of"'"Spectrum programming that was Samantha Fox Strip Poker- how we laughed. You could still watch Benny Hill or the"'"gormless Legs and Co from the sadness of your armchair."'"You can't do it now because we are much wiser and those"'"things were cringe inducing at best.
