Soft in the Head

The software scene this month is as

crowded and diverse as ever.

Plunging straight in at the deep end

with the serious stuff we have four new

productivity programs from Ariolasoft, all

brought in from across the Atlantic.

PaperClip, HomePak and The

Consultant are all from the Canadian

software house, Batteries Included.

PaperClip is a word processor and it's a

former number one piece of software in

the States. Ariolasoft describes it as

professional and comprehensive and it

features full screen editing. It's available

on disk and side two contains an

enhanced C128 version.

HomePak is a three module package

and includes: HomeText a word

processor; Homerind, a data manager;

and HomeTerm a telecommunications

program which communicates with

databases and other computers.

The Consultant is a database

management system designed to organise,

sort and retrieve records, ﬁnd exact items

and execute a variety of search and

analysis procedures.

The ﬁnal package in the latest batch of

launches from Ariolasoft is called Cut and

Paste. It's an easy to use word processor

from Electronic Arts and its features

include automatic word wrap, dynamic

menus and full cut and paste editing.

Ariolasoft's Ashley Gray said:

"Ariolasoft has taken great care to ensure

that these new productivity titles are

exactly right for the home and small

business user, both in terms of program

quality, price and distinctive UK

packaging."

Commodore is also launching new

products for the serious user. Two new

music systems were due to be launched at

the Ideal Home Exhibition as we went to

press. They are a complete Music System

including a Commodore 64 for under

030 and a Music Expansion system for

under E150.

Staying with the more serious aspects

of a Commodore user's life, Medstat, a

Nottingham based software house, is

promoting its range of exam revision

software as we come around once more

'A' level examinations and concentrate on

verb and vocabulary learning, Prices start

at £13.95 and they are all available on the

C64_

Now to games. Fans of the Rocky

Horror Show who also own a C128 will be

pleased to hear that CRL is to bring out an

all new version of its Rocky Horror game

specially for the 128. Redeﬁned graphics,

brand new sprites, new animation and

even more locations are promised

together with some stunning effects. No

price has yet been announced for the

game but it should be available in May.

There's also good news from CRL for

C-16 and Plus/4 owners. The Berks trilogy

is now available on one cassette priced at

16.95. It features the original game, Berks

plus Major Blink (Berks 2) and Berks 3 an

arcade adventure in which you ﬁnally

penetrate the Berks city and steal their

treasure.

Virgin has recently launched the

ofﬁcial Football Association soccer game

— FA Cup Football. The game is mainly

text based and places you in the difﬁcult

position of managing your teams through

all the rounds of the FA Cup.

Tony Williams, author of the League

Club Directory, upon whose extensive

research t he game is based, said: "The FA

Cup is football's most exciting

competition and this game reﬂects that

excitement. We've had a great deal of fun

Nick Alexander oi Virgin cleans up soccer

to the time of '0' and 'A' Levels. The

revision aid programs cover French,

German, Spanish and Italian CSE, '0' and

News

putting it together and I'm sure people

will have as much fun playing it." It cost

£7.95 on the C64.

Imagine has entered the Kung Fu

games market with a new release called

Vie Ar Kung Fu — a very violent game by

the sound of lit Set in Japan, you take the

part of Oolong who is attempting to

become a Kung hi grandmaster in order

to honour the memory of his late, dear-

departed father. Success depends on

mastering the technique of the 16

different kicks and punches. You've got

10 opponents to beat and when you've

knocked out Blues, the resident

Grandmaster then the title is yours.

There are two imminent CM releases

from Ocean. Green Beret, a

contemporary war drama from Konami —

makers of coin-op arcade games — is due

for release in May at 0.95. There is also to

be a computer game based on that good

ol superhero Batman which is scheduled

for a May launch and will retail again at

£8.95.

For those who would rather have the

satisfaction of creating their own

programs without a lot of sweat, there is a

new Graphic Adventre Creator for the

C64/128 from Incentive Software. It is an

adventure generator with a built in

graphics editor and Incentive claims that

it allows you to produce professional

adventures with ease and does not

require any knowledge of computer

programming. It's due for release on 1

May.

In the shops now should be Micro

Power's Doctor Who game, which has

been in the pipeline for many months.

The game contains about 130 screens and

has three different tunes to keep you

amused while you tackle the problems it

represents. One of these is, of course the

classic Doctor Who theme, the price —

01.95. Oh, and look out for the

programmable droid cat. The what?

If you want to be king of the gnomes,

or you just want to ﬁnd out a bit about the

intricacies of gnome culture then US

Gold's Time Tunnel might be the game for

you. You have been chosen as the next

gnome king but you need to complete the

inevitable tasks to prove your worth. An

ancient gnome manuscript has been

ripped up and scattered through the ages

by an evil cyclops — a weird mix of

Scandinavian and Greek folklore! When

you've got the seven pieces you can

perform the magic spell which will free all

the gnomes in the forests of Scandinavia

and allow you to become their supreme

leader. It's £6.95 on cassette and £14.95 on

disk.

Yet another well known hero has been

transferred to the big screen and thence

to the computer monitor. This time it's

Biggles and Mirrorsoft has acquired the

rights to produce the game of the ﬁlm

of the books. It should be out at the

beginning of May so budding air aces

watch Out for it.

Mind Games joins the Force

Moving from the air right down to

earth into the realms of the ludicrous you

come to a new release from Imagine

called Comic Bakery. You are Joe the

baker in charge of your high tech loaf

producing plant, and you must stop the

scavenging raccoon dogs eating all the

loaves. It's in the shops now at 0,95 on

cassette.

If you've always wanted to ﬁnd out

what it's like to be one of the boys in blue

in a city police force then maybe Mind

Games latest offering will give you some

idea of what it's like. Allegedly produced

in consultation with some of "Britain's top

policemen" it's a complicatOI game

which requires you to keep law and order

without losing your popularity.

Impossible? Try it and see. It's £9.95 and

patrolling the streets now.

For C-16 owners there is now a version

of Elite's very popular title Commando.

Originally an arcade coin-op game it has

been available for the CM for some time.

Now C-16 users can have a taste of

excitement themselves.
