1 ;"{L9882 Thanks to the massive response (sound of wooden nose extending) to our last competition we have"'"decided to make it even more pointless for this"'"issue. You will win ROBOCOP 1, 2 and 3 if you can answer the following question:"''"WHAT ARE THE FULL NAMES OF THE TWO GEEZERS"'"BEHIND THE 'DOMARK' SOFTWARE HOUSE ?"

1 ;"{L9881 We've gone Bat and Ball crazy this"'"week. I managed to get hold of the"'"original Binatone 'Home entertainment"'"system' - Electronic Ping Pong to you"'"and me (or football if you have two"'"bats each). After the nostalgia was"'"wiped away (although I was pretend-"'"ing in the retro-weeping stakes) I"'"realised there was only one controller."'"The strange hand of fate was at er,"'"hand. Strangely enough... Over to"'"our resident Slot-car hill-climbing house champion."
1 ;"{L9881 The Dutch didn't really take to the Speccy at all really, too busy buying dope from the cafe I guess. The Lords did quite a few demos in the late eighties which were probably some"'"of the first on the scene. And there was ERNIEWARE, Ruud and Ernie Peske, a 'sensible husband' looking bloke and his"'"geeky brother. The sliding block puzzle genre wasn't new to the Spectrum (or cheap Christmas crackers) but SPLIT"'"PERSONALITIES took"'"the format to new"'"impressive heights."

Our spies are everywhere so don't mess with us."
1 ;"{L9881 One PD outfit in the UK has already withrawn them, but"'"you can't keep a good dirty demo down. There's nothing"'"better than settling down of a Friday night with some cans in, your mates round and a Carry-On film on video. Then"'"load up the latest porno demo on the speccy! Bit of a large"'"giggle; everyone goes home with a headache. The following is probably an incomplete list so any titles I don't have - send them to me!"

1 ;"{L9881 Not really our usual obscure classic! but seeing as most of"'"the copies in circulation don't work on 128k spectrums,"'"maybe alot of you still don't own this legend. I know I had"'"to spend almost a year with anticipation levels in the red"'"whilst I searched for a working second hand 48+ Speccy. >":
1 ;"your track up the stairs... You can then play head to head drag hill racing. The fun comes with souping up your car"'"with extra traction and a heavy duty motor. Well to cut a"'"long story short, one of Fudgepackers controllers was a"'"Binatone games one! The reason being it didn't give him a"'"shock when he increased the voltage to the track! ... be like"'"me kids, just don't ask. He really should get a job y'know."'"He used to send his Mum cups of tea on top of his Flying"'"Scotsman Hornby train-set tender."
1 ;"rid of or used for bonus points. A time limit";
1 ;"makes things fast, furious and addictive!"
1 ;"is fairly small. I was sitting there for ages waiting for the"'"finale (pressing the Space bar brings things off nicely)."'"CANDYGIRL is digitized and performs some head bobbing and sword swallowing. TERNIMADOR features a large tummy"'"banana, a screen which was taken from DIG, or FEVER, or"'"PORNO or any of the other port overs from the C64. GIRLS"'"is a collection of bimbo tit shots. Rubbish! STRIP POKER is"'"quite funny but are they hips or banked scalextric curves?"
1 ;"in the wall for you to position. You are";
1 ;"hampered by rouge pieces which must be got";
1 ;"Those that did agree"'"included Charles & Di"'"(still having rumpo in"'"those days!), Labours"'"Neil Kinnock (which"'"sadly doesn't look"'"anything like him) and"'"Clive Sugar - or is it"'"Dave Lee Travis? You"'"now also know where"'"we got our cover star"'"from... The graphics"'"are superbly drawn"'"from photographs, no"'"naff digitizing here."
1 ;"There were ten screens"'"in all to complete, the"'"scary one on the right"'"being one of the"'"easiest (if you could"'"hold back the vomit"'"long enough). They"'"even sought permission"'"from the chosen few"'"(the Queen was not"'"into it though...)":
1 ;"The smooth wireframe graphics will have you convinced"'"within ten seconds. TAU CETI has it and Elite has it too - when you get in trouble you tend to shit your pants (and"'"how many Segatendo gems do that?) Stitch that Sonic.":
1 ;"The religious do-gooders would have us believe that our"'"schools are nothing but a melting pot of illegal pornographic disks. On the Speccy this isn't true and I suggest this issue"'"in general has been blown out of proportion. So fuck off."
1 ;"The purchase of the original ELITE package had come alot"'"easier; the sum of 10 pence was forthcoming! Poster, mini-"'"novel, manual and keyboard overlay intact...ten pissing pee!"'"(and even the Lenslok was in there). Fate smiles on the odd occasion and all classic hunters take heart, your turn is just around the corner."
1 ;"The most interesting version though has to be HOTSHOT by Addictive, better known for the Footy Manager series. It's"'"essentially a two player game quite similar to BOUNCES. You can catch and fire the ball to hit either the wall of bricks"'"above you or deflect it to knock the other bloke stupid."'"Great fun. I like to think that you will all now go out and"'"track down a copy of this elusive little classic. I mean, I"'"really would like your trust on this one!"
1 ;"TOUCH ME is very sad - the infamous Sam Fox jug snaps... STONE DEMO doesn't work on +2A's, and if you're not"'"tickled by various drawn hamburger shots then I wouldn't"'"bother getting a +2. RHAA LOVELY is afflicted too but is"'"wort
1 ;"Starting in a bog-standard trading ship, you have to trade between planets, and hopefully making a profit so you can"'"upgrade your ship with the many products on offer."'"Different planets have different economies and produce so it takes skill and experience to know what one could buy"'"cheaply from one, to sell to another. This is a good game in itself but this is ELITE and the best is yet to come!"
1 ;"So, does anyone have: Addams Family, Adidas Champ Footy 128 and Tie Break, The Archers!, Asterix, Battle Command,"'"Beatle Quest, Biff, Bismarck, The Biz (Virgin 1985), Bobs Full House, Brian Bloodaxe, Captain America, Chips Challenge,"'"Cluedo, Dan Dare 2+3, Dark Side, Darkman, Dick Tracy,"'"Doctor Who, Edd the Duck, Extreme, Game Over 2, Garfield Winters Tail, Gauntlet 3, Grange Hill, Great Space Race...."'"and that's just the first 7 letters!"
1 ;"Other traders would like your cargo, pirates certainly want"'"it (and the space pigs like to kick your arse when they get"'"bored - just like real life in fact). There are many types of ship out there and it takes experience to know which ones"'"will start throwing missiles at you. You can always shoot"'"anything that moves of course (and nick the cargo that is"'"left amoungst the debris) but its a hard life that one. No"'"peace for the wicked."
1 ;"Oh well, it's worth a try. Keep collecting or whatever you do when it gets cold at night. See you soon."
1 ;"Of course it is pretty un-realistic to have all those planets"'"so close together, a sun every few thousand light years..."'"but that's not the point is it. ELITE is the complete game;"'"strategy, combat, an imagination grabber of extreme power."'"In fact it's so good it bloody scares me! I propose we round up all the best demo coders and graphic artists and get"'"them to convert ELITE 2 onto the 128. Good Idea?"
1 ;"LOADING PART TWO"
1 ;"ISSUE 9 - PART 1"
1 ;"I've been having a look through my lists and such and there are some games that are proving a bugger to track down."'"I'm sure the more priviliged of you have squirted some of"'"your games onto disk, so you don't really need the cassettes anymore do you? There is a little girl here in Nottingham"'"that is desperate to play these games and you can make a"'"good bit of beer money out of it too. She is ever so sweet and loves her Speccy. Oh alright, it's me but don't let that put you off."
1 ;"I'm no great fan of digitizing on the Speccy, I prefer to see artwork which has been slaved over for hours - work you"'"idol dogs! Excellent animation in CANDY even if the screen >":
1 ;"I forgot to mention that I'm not very good at these games. And someone must have Arkanoid on +3 disk for our Jeff?"'"He'll give you money for it and everything...":
1 ;"Each screen piece comes flying out of a hole";
1 ;"Being on the dole means you have to turn your hand to a"'"bit of canabalisation to keep your belongings working. When your ordinary Scalextric fun starts to wane why not lay":
1 ;"BATTY was featured on a magazine covertape but don't let that deceive you. It's bloody difficult though; a skill level"'"system would have been nice! A new angle on things was"'"presented with CRL's BALLBREAKER - sort of like playing"'"the basic game on the set of Knight Lore! This game is"'"bloody addictive and irritating as the bastard game slows"'"down when bits of the wall are falling down. That aside,"'"any game that has a bat that looks like a midi hi-fi is"'"alright by me."
1 ;"As a late comer to the game that took both the C64 and"'"Speccy by the short and curlies, I was to discover the real"'"meaning of the term 'hooked'. The power of the game is"'"that it puts you in control to be as nasty or as humble as you want to be. If a down to earth thug like me can trudge off to the off licence thinking he was docked around a"'"planet, eager to taste some Xeetri home brew, then what"'"chance did a twatty Sci-fi dweeb have with keeping a grip"'"on reality! I blush to reveal it....":
1 ;"Anyway, a bit of solder later and we were up and running. Good game, lovely shade of bright pink for the score. The"'"reason I mention this is the fact that I've been playing Spec"'"Bat'n'Ball games since. You've probably all got the one on"'"the Horizons tape - very good for customizing that one!"'"Anyone wanting my 'hit the West Ham fan with a brick' PD version can do so for `5 and a family bag of ready salted."
1 ;"Answers in a pre-paid DSS envelope to: SC Comp,"'"2 Belvoir Rd, Nottingham NG2 5DL, England."'"Entries by December 31st 1994 if you please."'"(ISSUE 8'S WINNER: Richard Coulthard, Surrey)"
1 ;"ARKANOID is probably the slickest version around, the 128k"'"sound on Revenge of Doh is blinding. KRAKOUT from Gremlin is good too, played on its side (if you get my meaning), but obviously a low key game for them in the scheme of things.":
