Soft in the Head —

YES, IT HAD TO HAPPEN SOME TIME.

Superman has got fed up of doing his

quick change act in the conﬁnes of a

phone box and will now be executing this

incredible feat of contortion inside your

computer. Beyond has recently launched

Superman The Computer Came, which

features Superman, on the side of good,

ﬁghting Darkseid for control of a metro-

polis.

According to Beyond, the game con-

tains a minimum of rules and is

punctuated with breathtaking animated

sequences. It's not a bird or a plane but it

is E9.95.

Also in Beyond's autumn release

package were EnigmaForce, the sequel to

Shadowﬁre and Spy vs Spy: The Island

Caper, sequel to Spy vs Spy (as if you

hadn't guessed). Both cost f9.95 on

cassette.

Another superman, international

goalkeeper Ray Clemence. has put his

stamp of approval on Macmillan

Software's new release World Cup

Soccer. The package contains two

programs and a book which provide

information on the skills techniques and

secrets of some of the world's top players.

Goalie Ray commented: "World Cup

Soccer is a must for any serious and

dedicated soccer fan. Once you've

mastered this you can sit back and watch

the 1986 World Cup through the eyes of a

real professional."

News 411111w

Quicksilva has come up with an arcade

strategy game for the 64 called

Deathwake, which features you as a

brilliant adtiliral trying to rebuild your

shattered forces so that you can destroy

the enemy's special research lab, hidden

in the depths of a mountainside. If you

don't, they will ﬁnish developing the

Ultimate Weapon - an atomic bomb.

(Hasn't some one already developed it?) If

you want to gain lost territory from the

evil Alliance then you'll have to fork out

17.95 for the privilege.

Ultimate has two new titles for the

C64; Dragon Skulle and Outlaws -

shouldn't that be Autlors? They both cost

19.95 on the C64 and are embellished with

Ultimate's unmistakable brand of art

work.

Hewson Consultants want you to let

the train take the strain and buy Southern

Belle for the CM. This steam locomotive

simulator is said by its makers to be for the

more 'sophisticated' game player and it is

rumoured that 'railway enthusiasts have

even been buying computers speciﬁcally

to sample its delight.' Holy smoker

On to more serious software, and

Impex has produced a program called

Font Factory which is aimed at improving

the output from a dot matrix printer. It

reads any standard Commodore ASCII

ﬁle, automatically formats and prints it.

And you get a choice of eight different

typefaces. It incorporates control of line

width and spacing and justiﬁcation. Also

on the disk is a program called Sign Writer

which allows you to produce banners

using letters a foot high. You get both

programs for 119.95.

I mpex has also released Fantastic Filer

and Screen Dumper 64. Both these

programs are 112.95 each and available on

disk only.

In Touch

Feargal and friend Casey tones on computer

by liewson

MICRONET HAS MOVED ITSELF INTO

the glamorous world of pop music. Feargal

Sharkey appeared on Celebrity Chatline

and was greeted with an enormous

response from Micronet members.

Feargal has himself been a member of

Micronet for over a year and is very

impressed with the service, saying: "Most

of all I ﬁnd it good relaxation.

- He also

loves the Celebrity Chatline in particular.

"I think it's very entertaining." he raved.

"It's certainly a lot more entertaining than

most of the programmes on TV at the

moment. I'd rather watch Chatline than

Coronation Street." Obviously an

Eastenders fan.

Micronet members have also been

making an effort to help the survivors of

the Mexican earthquake. In the ﬁrst

montb of the Mexican Aid Appeal they

raised over 1180. Donations should be

made payable to Mexican Aid and sent to

the address below. Micronet members

should call page *800119836

Domark, meanwhile, has decided to

try and scare us all by launching Friday the

13th, The Computer Game, featuring a

mad ﬁend called Jason who wanders

round a holiday camp trying to get his

homicidal way with all the innocent

campers. Your job is, of course, to save

them but mind you don't panic as this

seems to infuriate the psychopath. 18.95

on cassette and 111.95 on disk, p;obably a

game not to be played in the dark. The

sadist's Terrormo/inos I

Ariolasoft has launched a new range of

software for the autumn which is unusual

because the disk versions are under 110 -

at 19.95. Frank Brunger, marketing and

sales director, said: "The cost may be

lower but the quality certainly isn't." The

Cassette versions are 17.95 and the new

titles are: Axis Assassin, D-Bug, Bug Blitz,

Kaiser and Saucer Attack. All are available

on the CM.
