   1 ;"{L9881 Welcome to double figures. The fanzine that was influenced"'"into being by the RAS list tape catalouge reaches issue 10."'"We've no idea what our circulation is and we don't much"'"care either. As long as it remains fun to put together then there will always be another issue appearing in your fave"'"PD library. Quite simply, there is nothing like us on the"'"Speccy scene and that's the way we like it."
   1 ;"{L9881 We like sims here at SC, the more unusual the better. In the dim distant past, my older brother used to have a rather"'"smart dinky transporter which he liked to attempt to 'park' between the edges of the carpets and a large sponge rep-"'"resenting an imposing 'wall'. And just the other day I saw a huge artic backing into a side road with the greatest of"'"ease. Yes, Juggernaut is a Speccy Lorry driving simulator"'"with a bit of strategy thrown in for gameplay.":
   1 ;"{L9881 The most popular question to pose"'"and answer these days seems to be"'"what one would do if your lottery"'"numbers came up. For our Euro-bod"'"readers, we've only just got a"'"national lottery in this country. I'm"'"quite set with my plans to open a"'"Spectrum only shop that sells loads"'"of second hand stuff, does repairs"'"and can be a place where we all hang"'"out (man) and get drunk alot. So"'"much for my dreams - maybe if you win it, you can do it."
   1 ;"{L9881 Hard on the heels of the 'stimulating' adult program"'"LOLLIPOP, comes H-CORE, a small collection of tunes, the"'"like of which you won't have heard before coming from the"'"portals of the excellent SoundTracker. Available now from all the usual outlets. The LONDON FOOTBALL DATABASE is"'"already half finished but we wish these clubs would stop"'"building new stands all the time as it's mucking us about."
   1 ;"{L9881 Following on from issue 9's expose"'"that we now have a PC in the 'office',"'"I thought it would be interesting (if not amusing) for you"'"humble readers to live our experiences as we try to come to terms with todays technology! The justification for having a PC section in an otherwise 100% Speccy fanzine is simple; we aim to delve into the world of emulation, amoungst other"'"stuff (hopefully this is of interest to some of you). Your"'"experiences on this topic are most welcome."

All our fonts are either originals or just nicked"'"from obscure games so they will be worth while ordering"'"even if you already have billions of fonts already. We are"'"also planning a special disk collection containing all 36 with"'"screen dumps for Art Studio grabbers (Arrgghh - A Davis)":
   1 ;"You are given the"'"option to chose the"'"length of your trailor"'"and to practice before"'"the game starts. The"'"aim is to locate and"'"collect four different"'"types of products"'"from depots found"'"around the town and to return your loads to base. The"'"bigger your truck of course, the less trips you make - but"'"it's a bigger problem to control."''"You must first find a phone box where you can discover"'"where the various things are, including the vital fuel stops"'"where your damage is also repaired."

   1 ;"We will be catalouging in the following catagories: Name,"'"Software House, Year, Mode, Cass load time, program type/description, Players, Controls, Credits for Code/Graphics/"'"Music, Notes on re-releases etc. This should keep us busy"'"until the year 2015 so any help you can offer will be greeted with offers of erm, beer?"''"Our results will of course be made Public Domain on a"'"variety of mediums (but the main thing will obviously have to be on PC)."
   1 ;"We deal very closely with both Prism PD and Alchemist PD"'"(plus Womo PD in Germany); we are an independent fanzine"'"dedicated to seeing the Spectrum into the 21st Century"'"(believe it, our computer has a future to look forward to"'"and a past to be proud of). Alot of people in the media are"'"now coming out and declaring their fondness for the 'simple'"'"cheerful 8-bits - we'll let them romanticize, whilst you and I and thousands more still live it!":
   1 ;"This issue sees the start of the 'free-gift'; original software EXCLUSIVE to Sinclair Classic. After part 2 you'll find the"'"Turbo Compiler V2.0 by Jonathan Cauldwell plus a tutor"'"program.

   1 ;"The Multiface has been around for ten years now and we've only just managed to get one! Sheer laziness and lack of"'"foresight can be quoted. Still, now we have one we can"'"pretend its always been here. Look out for more graphics"'"within the SC pages. It begs the question, 'Is SC illegal?' We certainly don't seek permission to use graphics from other"'"programs (by all accounts they probably won't give two"'"shits anyhow). If anyone charges to distribute this zine then they may get in trouble!"
   1 ;"Surf Champ released by New Concepts software came with a mini plastic surf board to lay over your keyboard. The game could be played just as easily without it.";
   1 ;"Steve Vickers and Alan Sugar failed to show but Andy Davis and Martyn Sherwood ended the evening by smashing up the toilets and snogging each other in the mini-cab home. Don't believe all you read in other publications, these boys get on like a house on fire. Strangely enough, Martyn did catch"'"fire at 2am after refusing to accept that Stan Collymore is an over-rated twat with an attitude problem."
   1 ;"See if you can scrounge enough cash to get some cans in;"'"the strong lagers are the best if you want to get there"'"fast. Look down the back of the sofa for some fag money"'"(you should also have enough for some crisps)."''"Now set up the Speccies in the corner and load in 3D Pool"'"by Firebird. This is the best pool program I've played - it's"'"like walking into a FREESCAPE house and picking up a cue."'"Try FRUIT MACHINE 2 in the other Speccy and get those"'"reels spinning."
   1 ;"SLOWEST FOOTBALL MANAGEMENT SIM:"
   1 ;"RTL 01 by Theo Devil contains 7 animated digitized sequences on such topics as 'gobbling' and front/back door action."'"Only available on import!";
   1 ;"Probably Soccer Star by Cult."
   1 ;"Points are awarded for loads delivered to your home depot"'"and a timer provides a bit more"'"spice. Steering an artic is a"'"nightmare, alot of thought is"'"needed when you turn that"'"steering wheel. A true forgotten"'"classic program this one!"
   1 ;"PROGRAMMER WITH STUPIDEST NAME:"
   1 ;"Only the darling Mat 'Fishy' Beal responded to my plea for"'"games I didn't have. Just you wait til' I've got something you want you mean gits. No lists this issue as it would be a"'"complete waste of memory (now look, you've upset me now).":
   1 ;"Only 7 years behind now, and we are pleased to announce"'"the arrival of a pristine looking +3 into the Fountain nest. Neglected and under-used by its previous owners, this"'"machine will now be put hard to work compiling future issues of this very tome. Would anyone like to swap a disk copy of Batman the Movie for a couple of blank 3 inch disks? We"'"went shopping in Office World today and they wanted `17"'"for a box of five that are reported to be 'crap' by someone we would trust with day-old baby kittens."
   1 ;"Of course the best thing about this arrangement is you"'"don't spend much money or get some sour faced old slapper telling you to fuck off at closing time. You can take the"'"piss out of the students as they make half a lager last all"'"night then pretend to be 'so drunk'. But the really best"'"thing is you don't get chatted up by the most ugliest man"'"in the world. How comes they always go in the pubs I"'"frequent?"
   1 ;"Now look, I havn't even had a go at a +3 Speccy, let alone a +D, so this disk business is all new to me. On top of that, MS DOS is about as familiar as Japanese so as you laugh"'"and call me a tosser just mull those facts around (please?). I managed to delete the AUTO.EXE and CONFIG.SYS files with the greatest of ease (after being quite pleased with myself"'"at vanquishing a Sensible Soccer demo into oblivion). Don't"'"ask why, I just did ok?"

   1 ;"I shall take advice from the PC arm of PRISM and order the best Speccy emulator going, but why stop there? Why not"'"have a C64 and a CPC464 too!"''"Gone are the days when I could fit all my Speccy software"'"lists within the confines of VU-FILE. Separate files are a"'"pain to keep loading in, and of course makes cross referen-"'"cing an impossability. I currently keep track of my software"'"in a large A4 folder and electronically on Tasword files."'"70MB would contain an awful lot of Speccy records."
   1 ;"How about Costa Panayi, Ivan Horn, Phil Churchyard... take your pick."
   1 ;"Hopefully by the next issue I should have least got the"'"bastard running again... but don't bet money on it. (DAVE)"
   1 ;"Hope you had a nice Xmas and maybe you got something"'"nice in your stocking, like a +D disk drive or a new year"'"subscription to Fish. I got six tins of high octane lager, a"'"large chocolate cake and a festive card from the exquisite"'"Violet Berlin that had a squirrel on the front."
   1 ;"Here's to next years bash (we'll still be here, will you?) and"'"keep your Spectrums in tip-top condition. Remember, there is always a redundant brother willing to be canabalised to fly the flag for the little Spectrum."
   1 ;"Great fun was had at the Sinclair Classic Xmas office party, held at the Newshouse pub in St James St. A b/w photo"'"of Sir Clive was blu-tacked to a vinegar bottle and much"'"drinking was in evidence. In attendance was SC top cheese"'"Dave 'I fancy Tomboys me' Fountain, who entertained the"'"masses with a rendition of My Old Mans a Dustman. Clare"'"sat quiet in the corner with a large mug of Vodka, sulking"'"because we didn't want her boyfriend coming due to him"'"being far too fat."
   1 ;"Firstly, some infos: It's a Compaq 386 with a VGA colour"'"monitor. The hard disk consists of 70MB with a 5.25 floppy A: drive. This isn't adequate enough for WINDOWS so we"'"are running version 5 of MS DOS - at least we were until I decided to delete some stuff off the hard disk!":
   1 ;"Finally, we are about to embark on the biggest database"'"ever created which we hope will cover every Speccy game ever released in the entire world! On and off, it took us 78 weeks to go through 1400 programs (but we forgot to write things down like credits!). So can you help us? Have you already"'"got something similar or just a few games catalouged?"

   1 ;"Cascade released a compilation with 50 seperate games on."'"Everyone of them was shite.";
   1 ;"Bad luck to Martyn Sherwoods Nottingham Forest for"'"getting beaten by Millwall in the 4th round of the Coca Cola cup. How dare we eh? You big smug teams seem to think the sun shines out of your arses. Well it doesn't - your mob"'"are over-rated and will be lucky to finish mid-table. I think we should have more football in Sinclair Classic!"
   1 ;"As I type, the poor PC is still sitting in the corner, lost and bewildered, it doesn't even know it exsists anymore. Thank-"'"fully help is on its way and I have learnt my first lessons; a) make back-ups of almost everything, and b) don't delete files that just seem to consist of a full stop for a title!"''"A third lesson has also dawned on me. Don't send any"'"stamps to a firm called SHARE FAYRE in the hope of"'"receiving a PD disk full of yummy catalouges. I'm still waiting since Oct 22nd."
