pionships were only
decided duiing Ihe last few seconds
of the action in July's thrilling final
day.
Eighteen finalists were invited to
the plush Xenon nightclub to com-
pete against one-another and
Hadio 1 DJ Dave Lee Travis.
Some of the finalists got up early
!hot day to appear on the BBC's
morning programme Breakfast Time
tor an unofficial championship
warm-up.
Then the 18 split into six groups of
three to tackle their favourite
machines with the highest scorer
moving onto the next stage of the
competition.
Julian
takes the
arcade crown
This was played on a new
machine saved especially for this
competition by co-sponsors, arcade
manuacturs Taitel. This was the
graphically and musically awesome
Gyruss unveiled by radio Luxem-
bourg DJ Tony Prince and none of the
finalists had a chance to play on it
before the final.
Hot favourite from the Isle of
Wight. David Rossset then set the
pace with a 72.000 score on the
machine and it seemed cut-and-
dried until the last finalist, Julian
Rignall from Wales started to battle
his way close to David's score.
And at the last gasp he overtook it
to notch 73.110 points and take the
title.
Julian took a cocktail table version
of Galaga back back to his home in
Llangeitho in Dyfed, Wales. He won
his place in the final of the ever-
green defender game which still
attracted the most entries from
arcade players across the country.
The other games which made up the
final were: Donkey Kong, Donkey
Kong Junior, Mr Do, Robotron and
Amidar.
Dave Lee Travis turned up at the
end of the day to present the finalists
with certificates. Donkey Kong
Junior hand-held games-watches
from CGL and Julian with his Gala-
ga machine.
WELCOME TO THE YEARBOOK
Unfolding beiore your very oyes is the first-ever
Computer & Video Games yearbook.
We've used some of Computer Si Video Games
magazine's most potent resources to put together a
book we think computer buffs will love.
The jewels of this collection are four marvellous
games set in another distant galaxy and setting your
computer alive with intrigue, action and adventure.
Keith Campbell wrote the fascinating adventure
The Vczspozian Affair, set on a spacecraft.
Mike Singleton came up with Interstellar Intrigue,
a game of diplomacy on a galactic scale, simple to
play but so difficult to win.
Ron Potkin contributed The Beacon Star Wars,
where two alien races struggle to capture the energy
giving beacon stars.
And Pat Norris was the brains behind Pirates 6V
Polyps, space arcade action but with room to think
out your tactics.
We were so pleased with those games that we con-
verted as many as were practical over a range of
computers which include the BBC, Atari, Spectrum,
Dragon and Vic-20.
In the spaces between the games we packed in
features about computer gaming and the people who
made the industry what it is. There's plenty of car-
toon fun with those horrors the Bugs and Trevor
Truran sets you Puzzling with his brain teasers.

It's not often that the special delivery rocket arrives on this
lonely outpost of the galaxy. But when it does there's always
a rush to see the latest issue of C&VG. This photograph was
captured by the lens of Mike Goss and the two aliens were
put together by Dorian Cross. We hope you get as much out
of the yearbook as Dorian put into this marvellous model.
INTERSTELLAR INTRIGUE 21
Five hardened diplomats meet lo share out the galaxy but
each hopes to wrest complete control for himself. Take the
part of Grakta the Bloodline delegate or Maachen the lizard
from the Water Empire (up to five can play) as the late of suns
planets and fleets rests on your negotiating. Mike Singleton
wrote this novel and tactical game for the Spectrum. And there
are versions for the Dragon. BBC and Atari too. Illustrated by
Stephen Gulbis. Can you take control of the galaxy when the
might of four other empires is ranged up against you?
BEACON STAR WARS 38
Two alien tribes discover the secret of the beacon stars and
realise that whoever controls this sector of space will have a
say in the running of the galaxy. Their fleets of mining ships
and gun ships help the race to produce stargates around the
discovered stars. But what are the incredible space scaven-
gers and how will they affect the outcome? Written for the
Dragon by Ron Potkin, it's a well balanced and tactical
strategy game tor two players. Converted onto the Spectrum
too. Illustrated by John Higgins. Can you out-think and out-
fight your opponent?
PIRATES & POLYPS 52
The polyps are a rare and precious space commodity which
you hope to attract down to your planet with a deep space
scanner. But the pirates are out to steal the polyps away and
to wreck your scanner and ground lasers. It's a battle of wits
as you try to draw a bead on the pirate ships in the atmos-
phere and blow them out of the skies before they make off with
a polyp — or worse — dive bomb your defences. Written by
Pat Norris for the Spectrum we also have conversions for the
Atari, Vic-20 and Dragon. Illustrated by Peter Harris. Do you
blow up a pirate or pull down a polyp? It calls for fast wits as
well as quick reactions.

THE VESPOZIAN AFFAIR 68
D'Taan knew lhat she was on the verge of a greal discovery,
all the information was at her fingertips she just had to put
two and two together. But if she makes her discovery will she
be able to persuade Captain Bezel to change course to the
right planets in time? How far can she trust Grakta — will he
turn her over to the Bloodline Empire and can Machen be
persuaded onto her side? An adventure with a real difference
by Keith Campbell, where the action moves through space,
goes beyond the ship and where some of the characters move
independently. It was written for the Dragon but we converted
it to the Atari, Dragon and BBC. Illustrations by David Pugh.

Was there motive behind the mad-
ness of the great 70s space invasion?
Alter some early success against
the "untrained" defence forces, the
later waves took an awesome ham-
mering. Wave after wave was wiped
out. sacrificed for the odd laser-base
scalp — and still they kept coming.
For years the slaughter went on,
some of the aliens began to look like
the raw recruits they must have
been, barely trained in the use of
their lightning bolt missiles, before
being rushed to the front line.
Reports of the carnage must have
found their way back to the alien
generals (or did too few saucer mes-
sengers get through), news that
Earth's unofficial defenders were
getting their collective eye in. Could
it be that these losses were accept-
able?
The common or guardian invader
(Invadus Nipponicus) was having a
hard time of it and then a new breed
emerged in the scene. The advent of
wings made saucers unnecessary
and this new species made use of
the swaiming principle to become
Galaxians. No longer the steady
trudge through the stratosphere
accompanied by the inevitable
grunts, these aliens wheeled down
depositing a steady stream of
bombs, trapping defenders in cor-
ners and diving kamikaze-like upon
them.
A new mutation and the world fell
victim to Defendus Americaans. The
first game of a great series by Wil-
liams former designer Eugene Jar-
vis, he followed it with Stargate and
finally Robotron, as the aliens
switched their base from Japan to
the U.S. for a short while.
But while the new aliens took over
the space invaders' traditional terri-
tory in the arcades, the old enemy
was planning a new campaign. It
moved straight into the Earthly
homes and setting up residence in
the humans' previous major defence,
the telly ... a master stroke.
No more escaping from the
meanies by rushing home to watch
Coronation Street, the little devils
were their waiting for you, courtesy
of the home TV games centres.
Atari VCS aliens were a different
shape but undoubtedly the same
breed: antennae wriggling, legs
twitching and fighting in profile but
invaders none-the-less.
And susceptible to earthly defen-
ders, who cut them down in their
droves. Could it be that the distant
intelligence behind this concerted
onslaught had made yet another
error or tactical judgement — or was
this manoeuvre more evidence of the
subtle planning going on in some far
corner of the cosmos?
The green
meanies' w»ft w
plan
By Terry Pratt
Maybe so, because the next ave-
nue of attack was a complete switch
in tactics. No longer could mankind
justify the slaughter of the galactic
innocents by claiming that death
was too good for the 'orrible little
alien insects, who only had destruc-
tion in mind.
Pacman was different, all the
characters were lovable. Here was a
hero you could really relate to: a
yellow featureless blob continually
opening a black maw to sate his
massive appetite.
Even the villains, the ghouls, were
pretty cute: big doleful eyes and
sweet names like "Blinky ". Their
mission might even have been mis-
interpreted as reasonable to pre-
vent Pacman from eating their world

We took this change in good stead
and soon ghosts were disappearing;
almost as fast as invaders had oncej
done. But in Pacman we had a game;
which could actually cause usj
physical injury. Games were inters-
persed by finger soothing sessions,
when caloused and bruised joints
were nurtured back into shape ready
for the next bout.

Pacman's insatiable appetite was
also outgrowing the arcades as he
munched and chewed his way onto
the home screens. First he ignored
the TV games centres by moving
straight onto a variety of home com-
puters. Then he backtracked to the
Atari VCS system and arrived with a
bang.
A whole new maze to wander and
some flickering opponents to negoti-
ate but Pacmcm was not a creature to
let a change of environment ruin his
appetite and the alien attack iound
itself with a new hero.
A heroine was not long in emerg-
ing as the attack was launched on
the other half of humanity. Could
women be tempted into the arcades
by relating to Ms Pacman? Hardly a
feminist heroine, despite insisting
on the "Ms" part of her title. She had
a bow in her "hair" and really just
wanted to settle down and have
baby Pacmen.
If women were the real target of
Ms Pacman, then this was a setback
to the cosmic intelligence's master-
plan. Perhaps the real aim was to
find a way of propagating Pacmen
faster. Anyway, the male of the spe-
cies took readily to Ms Pacman with-
out worrying about role reversal,
and turned it into a success.
Role reversal was fast
approaching in another form. Donk-
ey Kong pitted us against one of our
favourite horrors, a mighty gorilla
capturing a starlet and escaping to
the top of a tall — if unfinished —
building. We took the role of the poor
carpenter Mario as he rushed to the
starlet's rescue.
Then came Donkey Kong Junior
and Mario was the enemy. A villain
of the first degree, actually given the
prefix wicked, who had locked up
poor old Kong and was dealing out
doom and destruction to the gorilla's
heroic offspring as he tried desper-
ately to rescue his Pa.
The Donkey Kong duo of games
proved how fickle mankind's affec-
tions could be, we were putty in the
hands of the great intergalactic
game designer, if he told us black
was white, we'd believe him.
It also reversed the trend of
thousands of the enemy being wiped
out for the odd one or two human
Computtf md Vldao Games Yoarbook
hero casualties. Now we were wit-
ness to the destruction of many
Mario's without ever quite getting to
grips with Kong.
And it also showed that the aliens
producing these games had disco-
vered our love of the cinema. They
were giving us sequals like Space
Invaders Part II and they were giving
us heroes we already knew.
This trend continues to this day
with Buck Rogers, Star Wars and
Star Trek, being among the latest
titles produced.
And the cinema played an even
greater role in Tron, where the game
was based on a film which was
based on the game. And that fiction
of film stars going inside the
machine, is no being turned into fact
by laser disc technology which uses
film clips to build up a game which
switches the action to match the
player's shooting and manoeuvring.
The alien intelligence has also
moved back into its true colours,
space creatures, as the new games
prove: Xevious, Astron Belt, Mad
Planets, Zaxxon, ( Gyruss . . .
The space invasion has been long,
and it's been hard-fought and the
casualties have been horrifying. But
what have the invaders achieved at
the end of it all?
Well, they succeeded where
almost every film and fiction alien
failed. They wormed their way into
our culture, set up bases in our
homes and in our social haunts and
we've not only accepted their pre-
sence, we actually want to take the
credit for it — in short, THEY WON!
CRAZYKONG
Once again Dolores Devine has been
foolish enough to join Crazy Kong on
a sightseeing tour oi the Empire
State Building and is now standing
somewhat reluctantly on the root
garden with her hairy host as he
plays with a helicopter.
Only Lizardlcgs can scale the
building in time to save her and
there just happens to be one safe
way to the top.
Fortunately, by a coincidence a
rare that you may be tempted not to
believe it. the Christmas decorations
in the office windows do mark out
the route he must take.
Each symbol has a meaning. One
represents UP, another DOWN, a
third BIGHT and the fourth LEFT.
Just one snag — the symbols
change their meaning at each level
and never have the same meaning
again. So, whatever is, say UP on
level one cannot be UP on levels two
or three.
It may look an impossible task to
find the only route and Lizardlegs,
so adept at adhering to glass, is at a
loss as to know how to begin his
task. Can you help by marking out
the one pathway?
It isn't as difficult a task as it looks
and the grid may help — enter a
cross for an impossible meaning hi
a sign and a tick when you know it
for sure.
A little thought and you can guide

The
New
Heroes
We take you to
Liverpool to meet
Dave Lawson
the designer/
programmer of
Arcadia,
Spectral Invaders,
Spectral Spectres,
Ah Diddums,
and Schizoids.
IF there is one person in England
who you could describe as the
country's top games programmer
it must surely be Dave Lawson.
Like a top pop star Dave, co-
founder of Imagine, the Liverpool
software house, can look back on a
string of number one hit games.
But Dave's successes have not just
been top selling games they have
also been first in other respects.
Spectral Invaders was the first
commercially produced game for the
Sinclair Spectrum, Space Warp the
first commercially produced game
for the BBC, and Dave was also
heavily involved in the controversial
Vic Men, the first game for the Vic-
20.
Soon after these games were pro-
duced Dave wrote one of Bug Bytes'
all time greats — Spectrum Spectres.
The money earned on Spectres en-
abled him to go into business for
Lawson: "I knew my work would be valuable one day"
himself with another ex-Bug Byte
employee — Mark Butler — and so
Imagine was born.
Shortly after the split with Bug
Byte Dave was back at the keyboard
but this time writing games for his
own company. By last Christmas Im-
agine were able to launch their first
game — Aracdia. The game was an
instant hit on the Spectrum and has
since been converted for the Vic-20
and the Commodore 64.
Pressure of running an expanding
company has forced Dave away from
the computer though he still found
time to write Ah Diddums, released
in January.
I managed to steal an hour out of
his hectic schedule to find out a little
about the man behind the games.
Born twenty-three years ago in
Liverpool and educated at Quarry-
mount Secondary Modem, Dave left
school and home at 15. "I lived with
friends and did odd jobs — anything
really. It's easy to get jobs if you gel
the technique right. I spent the next
two years hitch-hiking, sometimes
by myself and sometimes with other
people.
"When I was seventeen I joined
the merchant navy as a trainee en-!
gineer. The next year and a half
were spent at various colleges. It I
was boring. They make you spend
about four years at college before
you get anywhere near a ship."
The navy and Dave parted com-
pany in the summer of 1979 and he
was back in Liverpool, back to the
odd jobs and the hitch-hiking but
this time much further afield —I
Spain, Italy, France and Germany. I
He shrugs at the suggestion that ■
hitch-hiking can be a lonely way of I
travelling: "It teaches you to be inde- 1
pendent."
It was at this time that Dave's

interest in computers began. "I'm a
compulsive reader. I read anything.
I started reading electronics maga-
zines especially Electronics Today
International. I got interested in it
because it seemed difficult. Even-
tually 1 saw an advert for a kit com-'
puter — a Nascom. I went straight
out and bought one from Microdigit-
al in Liverpool."
"It took me about a week to learn
machine code. I didn't bother with
basic. I couldn't see the point."
Dave was soon writing his own
programmes and developed a sharp
disapproval for the professional soft-
ware currently available in the en-
tertainment field. Of his own work at
this time he was more confident. "I
knew it would be valuable one day".
Valuable could be taken as some-
thing of an understatement from a
man who has just taken delivery of a
brand new Ferrari Mondial!.
A Ferrari is hardly the choice of a
modest man, although Lawson in-
sists that the money is not his main
motivation. "The money means no-
thing to me. It's the satisfaction of
being the best. I feel proud of our
games and proud of Imagine. We are
also providing people with good
quality products, which also gives
me pleasure".
His current project is the setting up
ol what Dave calls a "software de-
velopment environment". This is an
ideal set of circumstances, tools,
working conditions, programmers,
and artists which collectively pro-
duce a good computer games pro-
duction line.
"There is no quick way of writing a
good game. We brain storm our
programmers all day. Fire ideas at
them. We now have two artists work-
ing on graphics for the games. In the
ideal programming environment the
artists and programmers would work
together throughout the course of the
project."
Since Imagines launch less then
twelve-months ago the company has
spawned an advertising agency and
there are half a dozen other com-
panies in the pipeline.
Lawson believes in himself and
partner Mark Butler. "I think we
make a great team. I met him in
Laskys. I was playing Star Raiders
at the time and he came up to me as
a salesman. Good game, he said.
I'm going to write one much better I

said."
In the short term Imagine will be
continuing to produce games for the
Spectrum and also for the Commod-
ore 64 before the end of the year.
Lawson says his long term plans
are: "To become the biggest software
company in the world and to become
a public company by 1985."
And with what he has achieved so
far we're convinced that this soft-
ware supremo will do just that.
Lawson's first job in the computer
games came as a result of seeing an
article about a comparatively un-
known firm that had just moved to
Liverpool.
The firm was called Bug Byte and
Dave was invited to join the team
after showing the firm's bosses how
to use one of their new computers.
When the Spectrum first appeared
all the software houses were racing
to get the first game on sale.
Dave was Bug Byte's main hope in
this race and after thirteen failed
production models managed to write
the game from a pre-printers copy of
the Spectrum Users Manual. Bug
Byte were gambling that the manual
and Lawson's interpretation of it
were one hundred per cent accurate.
The gamble paid off and Spectral
Invaders is to this day the most accu-
rate copy of arcade Space Invaders
available for the Spectrum.
Dave's talent for arcade cloning
was to pay off again for Bug Byte
when Dave wrote Vic Men, a straight
take-off of Pac Man. for the then new
Commodore machine. Unfortunately
for Bug Byte the game had to be
withdrawn in the face of a threat of
legal action by Atari — the holders
of the Pac Man copyright.

The Biggest
Games Factory
in the World
More games ideas are suggested.
investigated and discarded at the Atari
research and development complex at
Sunnyvale in California than anywhere else
on this planet. Eugene Lacey looks at the
way the games are thought up, the
processes they go through and why the
Ideas that survive have to be among
the best around
The biggest games factory in the
world is to be found at Sunnyvale,
California, on the west coast of
America.
That's the home of Atari's video
games design plant where a team of
over one hundred programmers, de-
signers, and artists work unceasing-
ly thinking up new ideas for/and
developing video games.
The man responsible for running
the whole operation is 37-year-old
Condon Brown.
While many of you were asleep in
your beds Computer and Video
Games spoke by telephone to the
man behind the games.
Fifteen years of experience in the
computer business, that involved
working as a programmer and even-
tually running his own consultancy,
led Condon to be offered what many
people consider as the top job at
Atari one-and-a-half years ago.
"We eat, sleep, and breathe
games at Sunnyvale . . . and it's not
just at work ... I seem to spend a lot
of time at the breakfast table discus-
sing a game ... or some part of a
game with my wife."
Does she ever get sick of it? Loud
laughter. "Just occasionally."
The game design process is a mix-
ture of formal, and informal discus-
sion, involving a set team of people
and a floating pool of specialists.
Brown sees three main categories
of game: The coin operated arcade
game conversions, such as Pac Man
and Space Invaders, licensed games
where the company buys the rights
to use a well known character or
story line, and totally original
games thought up by Atari's desig-
ners.
Atari keep the numbers of games
they have sold a very closely
guarded secret though it is known
that the arcade conversions are the
best sellers. Pac Man is the most
successful to date and is thought to
have sold more than 10 million
copies world wide.
Brown believes that the penchant
for arcade conversions will not al-
ways be what the public wants and
that the original games will become
more popular.
To find good original ideas he
arranges "brainstorming sessions"
to attempt to tease out an idea from a
group discussion. Between eight and
10 designers and programmers
attend the meetings. "I use the terms
designer and programmer inter-
changeably . . . we try to set a theme
for the meetings. It might be space
adventure, maze, children's, or ac-
tion games. These session can last
anything from W2 hour to all after-
noon. Apart from time, place and
theme we try to keep it informal."
Brainstorming sessions are an im-
portant part of the games factory
output though Brown also stresses
the importance of the individual
flash of inspiration, "as many ideas
come purely from one person as do
from the brainstorming sessions".
Brown would like to see the whole
company involved in the origination
of new games process: "I regard the
wider company as a potentially un-
tapped resource."
Although the original games are
often the most time consuming
licensed titles and arcade conver-
sions also present difficulties.
"We have to work within the
limitations of the hardware — which
usually means within the confines of
the Atari VCS. Unlike the arcade
machines which can constantly be
improved in terms of their capabili-
ties the VCS always remains the
same.
"There is also the problem of
trying to decide how licensed titles
like ET & Raiders of the Lost Ark for
example can best be used."

When Atari are convinced that an
idea for a game is a good one the
project is then handed down to a
Cluster Group.
Each cluster group is made up of
between five to eight people under
the control of the cluster leader who
in turn is responsible to Condon
Brown.
Before an idea is assigned to a
certain Cluster Group to turn it into a
game a detailed Story Line and de-
scription of the game has to be pro-
duced for management approval.
This will contain detailed descrip-
tion of the gameplay, difficulty
levels, and graphics together with
precise market research to describe
exactly whom the company believes
will buy the game and why.
The next stage is to decide on a
time scale for the completion of the
project. This has to be flexible and
games have taken from as little as
five weeks to a year and a half to get
into the shops. It is not only unfore-
seen technical difficulties that can
put a project back — Atari also give
careful thought to when is the right
moment to put any given game on
sale.
"We have to ensure that there is
not a glut of games at one point in
the year and a shortage at another."
There are usually as many as 10
games being developed at the same
Computer and Video Games Yearbook
time though not all of these are des-
tined to go into full scale production.
The cluster groups are teams
made up of various specialists: a
sound engineer who works on sound
effects, a graphic artist who works
with the programmers, and a com-
poser to make up musical jingles,
theme pieces for the games. There
are also individual specialists whom
the cluster can seek advice from on
any point.
These specialists often have long
term projects of their own but are
regarded as a shared resource by the
cluster groups.
When a project is underway its
progress is constantly monitored by
the cluster leader. "There is lot of
input into the group . . . particularly
from software marketing ... but the
final responsibility for what the
game will be like rests with the de-
signers."
Condon Brown stresses the team
approach to design but also believes
that there is room within the struc-
ture for designers who prefer to work
by themselves. He cites the case of
Howard Warsaw who developed the
Raiders ol the Lost Ark game by
himself. In an earlier interview War-
saw told C&VG how he worked out
the conversion of the film into a
video game after sitting through four
screenings of the film.
The quality of Atari's games, like
that of any other video game manu-
facturer, depends on the strengths of
the design team. One thing. Brown
has to come to terms with, is the
tremendous amount of poaching that
goes on in the industry.
"We pay very well and generally
have the pick of the industry."
He does not believe there is any
set type of designer that fits into the
Atari mould. "They come from many
different walks of life . . . and range
from 17-year-olds to PHD's ... the
one thing they all have in common is
an abiding fascinating and love for
computers."
"We try to select people with a
proven track record and would nor-
mally expect some knowledge of
advanced languages such as
assembler language, and sequential
processes ... it is not important for
a good designer to have a strong
mathematics background."
The advanced knowledge the de-
signers attain in the existing range
of Atari computers means that their
opinions are highly valued by the
hardware researchers. "Because
they have to work within the con-
fines of set system they quickly start
to think how much more they could
put into a game if the computer had
extra capacity in certain areas."
The conversion of games is a re-
cent problem for the designers and a
feasibility study has to be produced
as early as possible in the develop-
ment of the game if it is likely that
Atari would want to market the
game for other computer systems.
Not only games for specific sys-
tems but games for specific parts of
the world designed to cater for the
different culture and tastes.
The first of these games Astrisk
and Obelisk was currently being
under development when we spoke
to Condon Brown. "It's based on the
cartoon characters and is designed
with the European market where
they are particularly popular. It will
be test launched in France later this
year."
With several million Pac Man,
Space Invaders, Galaxians and
others too numerous to mention now
in millions of homes there can be
little doubt that the Sunnyvale plant
is quite definitely the biggestgames
factory in the world.
And what does the man in charge
of it all like to do to relax? "I enjoy a
game of Defender". Careful with
those smart bombs Condon.

Spec-
Although the Spectrum has a char-
acter set fixed in its ROM. certain
ASCII codes are not assigned to a
particular character.
These can be defined by the user
to be any chosen character and can
then be printed either by entering
graphics mode and using one of the
letters from A to U. or by printing the
character using CHRS which will
output the specific ASCII code.
There are 20 user definable char-
acters on a Spectrum and they
occupy ASCII codes 144 to 164.
If you type PRINT USRC'A") the
machine will give the location of the
first byte of graphics data. The first 8
bytes including that one will hold
the data for the first character and so
on. There are 20 characters which is
160 memory locations.
To calculate the actual data for the
characters, you first need to design it
on a piece of 8x8 squared paper.
Each of the 64 squares can either be
coloured in or left unshaded.
When you have finished designing
your character you need to convert
each horizontal row of coloured and
empty squares into a binary number.
To do this use the BIN function. Use a
1 for each coloured square and a 0
for each unshaded square. When
you have your eight binary numbers
then you simply poke the data into
the memory like this . . .
POKE USR("A"),BIN 10100010
POKE USR("A")+1.BIN 10001100
POKE USR("A")+2.BIN 01101100
And so on until you have poked in
all 8 rows. This will continue until
you reach USR("A")+7.
This defines user defined graphic
character A. To define any others
simply use USRC'B"). then USR("C":
and so on:
This article outlines the use of user
defined graphics, to achieve smooth

animation to enhance the graphics
in your own programs, and con-
tinues to show how to extend the
user defined graphic symbols far
beyond the 21 characters in the Spec-
trum specification.
Pages 92-93 of the Spectrum manu-
al outline the use of user defined
graphics characters.
It is simple to combine such de-
fined characters to form a larger fi-
gure. Figure 1 shows two such char-
acters arranged to produce the fi-
gure of a walking man. If we were to
draw such a figure on the screen and
attempt to move it to the right it
would appear to hop. Listing 1
shows a program to do just this.
Ideally we need to draw the figure
moving smoothly across the charac-
ter boundaries. This we can do by
adding intermediate figure positions
using four characters (2 wide by 2
high). Even when the figure is within
the pair of characters, 4 are still
necessary since a trailing pair of
characters is required to blank out
the remains of the figure as it is
moved forward to the next character
position on the screen.
Listing 2 shows one way of achiev-
ing the required animation. Lines
10-70 convert the picture data into
the user defined graphics A-P.
Another graphics character has
been introduced to provide a ground
plane. They have been entered in
this manner so that it is easy to
modify the pictures at any time. Line
1030 draws the four characters that
make up the man quickly. There are
two FOR-NEXT loops. N determines
which of the four intermediate pic-
tures is to be drawn, and M the
position across the screen.
Using a similar method, it is possi-
ble to animate the figure to move in
any direction. Each direction re-
quires further User defined graphics
characters. Since we have already
taken up 17 of the 21 available, we
must find some way of extending the
capabilities of the Spectrum.
The beginning of the character set
used by the Spectrum system is
pointed to by a system parameter
called CHARS at location 23606 and
23607.
This good piece of foresight of the
Spectrum programmers allows the
user to POKE into these locations to
produce new character sets.
Listing 3 introduces another six
characters to provide the pictures of
the man falling. Since the size of the
figure is one character wide and two
high, by previous arguments it is
necessary to use a set of characters
three high to move the figure up or
down. These additional characters
are available since CHARS has been
POKED to 30208 (location 23607 hav-
ing been POKED to 118). The first
usable character (CHrS 32) is at
30464. Only two intermediate posi-
tions are provided this time to speed
up the fall rate.
To add some humour (even if it is
sick) lines 1100-1240 have been intro-
duced to complete the demonstration
loop. The POKE at line 1200 is to
amend the scroll count SCR CT to
ensure that the subsequent prints of
charS 36 (a blank) result in the screen
being scrolled.
When you press BREAK to leave
the loop you will still be in the
alternative character set. Don't
panic. Simply poke 23607,60, trying
to ignore the gibberish that the basic
system puts onto the screen, and the
system will regain some form of in-
telligence.

PUZZLE PROG
This very basic computer program
which, with very little adaptation,
should run on most machines, asks
you to sort out a tangled mess into
four eight-lettered words.
At present the letters are stored in
pairs in an array and you could, of
course, produce the words:
COLOSSAL
CRIMINAL
COMPUTER
CALAMITY
on your screen just by changing the
order of the pairs in the DATA state-
ment.
This is definitely NON-U and is
frowned upon. Anybody who would
sink that low would never reach
their keyboard again!
You are invited having typed in
the program, to RUN it; your screen
should produce the array:
ss

AL
IN
LO

At each turn enter three INPUTS; A
and B give the column and row of the

McCoy's, despite the name, is prob-
ably the cheapest software house
ever to rent an accommodation
address in downton Dorking.
Indeed, the most expensive part of
all their products is the cassette
holder.
Still their fairground replica does
actually run although the ducks
don't even waddle and only three
players can fire their six shots before
the inevitable program crash.
It so happened that Nigel, Jane
and Tracey in their first attempt
managed to hit one duck with each
shot; the bird, quite properly, dis-
appearing from the screen. After the
final shot had demolished the eight-
eenth duck the display briefly
showed that they had each scored
the same total before all went blank.
If Tracey hit more 20's than Nigel
who hit more W's than Jane you can
work out which six ducks each shot,
can't you?

Five of the most powerful
and influential beings in
the galaxy meet on board
'he orbiting space station
of Far Funus.
Their declared intention
is to bring peace to the
galaxy by settling their
differences, over the nego-
tiating table, diplomati-
cally. Secretly, each of
these warlike beings
hopes to outwit the other
four and seize control of
the galaxy for his empire
once and for all.
There's Bezel from the
Pirate Empire resplendent
in his burgundy and
magenta robes but a crea-
ture none of the others
would trust as far as they
could have thrown his
feared and awesome ship,
the good vessel Vespo-

All of the others are
at a disadvantage when
haughly Shazaz-Ka looks
them in the eye. They dare
not return the stare of this
subtle diplomat from the
powerful Sun Empire, for
fear of being permanently
blinded. He uses this
advantage sparingly but
his terrible frown falls
most regularly on the ill-
mannered Bezel.
In contrast, the brutish
gesturing and roaring
Irom infamously ill-
tempered Tiaithan Lizard
delegate Maachen, threat-
ens to disrupt the pro-
ceedings at every turn.
The others excuse his be-
haviour by making allow-
ances for his being out of
his natural amphibious
Compute and Video Gomes Yearbook
environment but they are
not so quick to dismiss the
threat his numerous blue-
emblemed Water Empire
forces pose.
No-one has ever disco-
vered the name of the
anonymous Ice Warrior,
whose features remain
hidden behind a glacier
mask and whose grating
voice is disguised by
the crackling breathing
apparatus that serves him
on this mission. He repre-
sents the weak and much-
scattered Dead Empire,
whose voice at these pro-
ceedings is only heard be-
cause no other empire can
take control of the inhos-
pitable planets and dying
stars where they live.
But while they look
down on the primitive re-
sources of the Dead
Empire and the irony that
these most lifeless of
beings have chosen vib-
rant green as the disting-
uishing colour of their
poorly-equipped fleets,
the others keep one wary
eye on his ice-axe. And all
know the value of an ally
capable of inhabiting
planets where no-one else
can visit — let alone live.
Lastly comes Grakta of
the Bloodline Empire. Tra-
ditionally the rulers of this
galaxy and let none esti-
mate his cunning which is
the result of 27 genera-
tions of careful cloning.
His power relies on the
Bloodline's long control of
the stellar energy, but
now it is under fierce
attack from all sides — yet
knowing Grakta he may
still win the day.
The five are sat around
a board, with their base
stars, outlying stars and
fleets on it. As the fortunes
of galactic war ebb and
flow before them they
argue, connive, ally and
betray to gain the upper
hand for their respective
empires.
Any is capable of wrest-
ing complete control, but
each must use the others
in brief alliances, all will
try to prevent any other
from becoming too power-
ful. It's diplomacy on a
cosmic scale for two-five
players and no holds are
barred.
21
THE RULES
Players take it in turn to make their moves. The order of
play is decided randomly by the computer at the begin-
ning of the game- For each star a player owns at the
beginning of his turn, he gets one movement point.
During his turn he uses these movement points in
moving fleets, rotating fleets and firing at other fleets.
The player does not have to use all his movement
points and in fact can use none if he so wishes. Move-
ment points, however, cannot be "saved up" for the next
turn. If they are not used, they are lost.
A player with no movement points misses his turn. This
does not necessarily mean he is out of the game. If he
still has some fleets left, the actions of another player
may still enable him to capture a star without even
moving and then he will find himself back in the game!
Moving a fleet one space costs one movement point. A
fleet can only move into an adjacent empty space. A fleet
must move forward, left or right.
It cannot move backwards. Once it has moved, it will
be pointing in the direction it travelled. A player, of
course, can only move his own fleets.
New fleets can be created at stars a player owns. To
bring a new fleet into existence, the player simply makes
a move from the star into an adjacent empty space. This
move can be in any of four directions, north, east, south
or west.
a fleet 'HHHHHHHi
Rotating a fleet costs one movement point. The fleet can
rotate through 90 or 180 degrees. When rotating, the fleet'
remains in the same space and simply changes direc-
tion. To rotate a fleet, the player must own it.
FIRING AT A FLEET
Firing at a fleet costs one movement point, A player can
fire from any star or fleet he owns at a fleet in an adjacent
space. If he fires from a star, he can fire north, south, east
or west. If he fires from a fleet, he must fire in the
direction the fleet is pointing. The target fleet is always
destroyed, even if it belongs to the player himself! Stars
cannot be fired at or destroyed.
CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP
Ownership of a fleet or star can change as a result of
movement, rotation or firing. It always depends on the
new situation created by. a player's action and any
changes of ownership take effect immediately.
Ownership is determined by the fleets "attacking" that
star or fleet. A fleet is said to be attacking another fleet or
star when:
I J It is adjacent to that fleet or star.
2) It is pointing directly at that fleet or star.
3) If it is attacking a fleet, the two fleets are not pointing
towards each other. A fleet cannot attack a fleet that is
pointing towards it. Therefore, fleets pointing towards
each other do not affect each other.
The following rules govern the ownership of stars and
fleets:
1) If no fleets are attacking, ownership of a fleet or star
does not change.
2) If there are ONLY neutral fleets attacking it, the fleet
or star becomes neutral itself.
3) If each of the attacking players has an equal number
of fleets attacking it, the fleet or star becomes neutral.
4) If any player has more fleets attacking it than any
other player, then the star or fleet is captured by that
player and becomes his star or fleet.
5) Neutral fleets are only counted as attacking fleets if nol
other players' fleets are involved.
Each move a player makes involves a potential change]
in ownership of surrounding fleets and stars. In certain!
situations, chain reactions can occur. Imagine, for exam-
ple, a line of fleets pointing towards each other,
ownership of the first fleet in the line changes, this wil
cause ownership of the next to change and then the next
again. Such changes take effect immediately, not ji
at the end of a player's turn.
1) Removes fleet from map. Checks for changes.
2) Puts fleet in new position. Checks for change
ownership of that fleet.
3) Checks for changes in ownership of newly attacked|
fleet or star and any connected fleets.
1) Rotates fleet. Checks for change in ownership of
star or fleet that was under attack.
2) Checks for change in ownership of rotated fleet.
3) Checks for change in ownership of newly attacked |
fleet or star.
AFTER
1) Check for change in ownership of fleet or star that tl
destroyed fleet was attacking.
All checks for changes in ownership always involve
check on any connected fleets or stars, so chain reactioi
may occur in any stage of the checking.
The object of the game is to bring peace to the galaxy,
The winner, therefore is the only player left who
make a move. To win, you must leave the other playei
with no stars and thus no movement points.
THE CONTROl
C = CHOOSING
M = MOVING
R = ROTATING
F = FIRING
E = END YOUR TURN
S = SAVE THE GAME
ON TAPE
CURSOR KEYS are used
for direction of movement,
rotation or firing. They are
also used to control the
movement ol the square
cursor during the CHOOS-
ING option
In the CHOOSING op-
tion you can move the
square cursor to any fleet
or star you own. You can
also choose any of the
other options. When you
choose to move, rotate or
fire, the fleet or star will
begin to flash. Then you
press a direction key and
the action will occur. You
return to CHOOSING auto- j
matically after rotation or
firing but during MOVING
you must return by press-
ing C.
E enables you to end
your turn at any stage.
But only when CHOOSING,
S enables you to save
the game on tape at any
stage. When loaded back
in, the program will recre-
ate the exact conditions
that held when you press-
ed S. All you need to do
after pressing S is give the
saved game a filename.

RUNS ON A BBC MODEL B. CONVERTED BY STEVE WILLIS
Loaded in two parts 1- "INTRIGE" 2. (loaded automatically by 1.)
"INT#2"
The major problem with this conversion was the need to use
the BBC MODE2 to gain the required colours for more than two
players. Again this led to ihe further problem of needing 32
character width on a 20 character display.
The games uses all 32 characters, by displaying pair
together, to give 16 large characters. Rearranging the charac-
ters to only use 16 meant a rather sick display. In the end !
redesigned the Spectrum characters so that they can be over-
lapped.
This overlap is achieved by printing the left-hand character,
then back spacing (using the VDU5 graphics motion of the
cursor} by a character width. Finally the right-hand half ol the
character is printed. Thus 2 characters which would take 128
pixels (2x64J now take 96 pixels (64 - 32 ^ 64). With 1280 pixeli
across this still isn't enough.
By then reducing the 'used' amount ol each character in thel
direction to 5 8ths we further reduce the character to 80 pixels
wide. This gives us 32 across! In the Y direction we have 32
available lines so there is no problem except to match the find
shapes. This all sounds complicated but is achieved in the ent
by rewriting the character definitions in "INTRIGE" and then
line 120 in "INT#2" does everything!
Now the second effect ol using MODE2. is the lack of spa«
available for variables; or to be more precise for string vari-
ables. This game in its original form used two large string
arrays and this proved impossible on the BBC. This has been
overcome by storing the display information, previously held is
SSIX.Y) & CSfX.Y), by POKEing in the spare areas of the
10MODE?

computer where no Basic may venture.
For this I have used &A00 to &BFF and the program now
PEEKsand POKEs these areas. The relationship is as follows: —
S&X.Y) becomes 7(2816 + 10"X% + Y%)
CSX.Y) becomes 7(2560 + 10'X% + Y%)
As X= 16 & Y= 10 are the maxima, one can calculate that there
ban unused gap from 2731 to 2826. In fact these locations are
used when saving a game (we will discuss this in a minute).
Thus the SS(X.Y) & C$(X.Y) strings have been replaced
throughout and. as in all the games. X% 8f Y% etc. (integer
variables} have been used. In fact as the data storage is
numeric in the game this is more efficient than evaluating VAL
(string) all the time as in the SPECTRUM version.
Now to SAVEing and LOADing games. SAVEing a game is
achieved by storing a machine code dump of locations &AOO to
' ■'- " ' in the file named "INTINT" on tape or disc. At the time a

SAVE is requested, the player's names, number of moves
allowed, and player colours are loaded as an ASCII dump into
the spare area from 2731 to 2816 (lines 31 to 38). The whole data
stream is then SAVEd.
The option of LOADing a saved game is selected at the start
of the first program. If an "S" is entered instead of the number of
players, then when the main program has loaded the player
puts a previously saved game tape in the recorder and it will be
loaded. The game is then running.
With tape storage several saved games can be stored on one
tape or several tapes. However they are all called "INTINT'
this could be modified if you wish quite simply. Both SAVE &
LOAD work correctly to a disc system.
Finally PAGE has again been set to &1200 if a disc system
interface is in use, or &EOO if not. This allows the use of
MODE2 with disc versions of the game.

No change because fleets are
pointing towards each other.
Only a neutral fleet is involved.
Therefore it effects ownership.
The red fleet is not actually
attacking because the central
fleet is pointing at it.
The red fleet is also attacking.
Therefore the neutral fleet has
no effect.
Red has a majority of attacking
fleets, so ownership goes to
red.
Example of a chain reaction.

All over the galaxy con-
tests like this are being
fought, each unique in its
own way and ye' each
similar in so many
^Wto was to guess that
,he emnity between he
forces oi Bluu.on and ^Ihe
crimson ships o Redare
would last thus long and
be so intense? But greed I is
a strange thing and both
ol these ambitious space
tribes knows the full worth
of the riches which are
being uncovered before
their very eyes.
Both know that they
must keep the secret from
the mighty empires which
would rush in and swal
low the prize and wipe out
the squabbling tnbes like
so much space dust
And both tribes know
that if they can harness
this wealth of energy for
themselves <" e "
tnbe might one d°Y rank
as high as those great
their rivals. ,
The Beacon Stars, nch
in stellar energy, had lain
there for eons bu their
light had been stifled by
the darkness and their
power remained undisco-
vered in the blackness of
the "Dead Areas into
which no spacecraft dared
U Then came the Scaven-
gers, a strange space phe-
nomena, no-one ever saw
them none knew where
they would strike next and
few could but wonder at
the results they produced.
The tirst sign was a 1 ■ " ^ button on the
The first sign was a
strange green glow in the
night sky where a Dead
Area" had been before
and then the blackness
was gone forever and
sometimes a bright
Beacon Star shone out
from where the darkness
had been.
The Beacon Star Wars
are fought out between the
fleets of Redare and
Bluuton as they rush to
capture the stars and use
them to produce the stel-
lar-energy creating Star-
9a Their fleets are made up
of Miner ships fast and
useful for exploration and
Gun ships, slow but
mighty in battle.
And each has a base
stargate, immovable but
strong in defence and able
to produce new ships to
add to the fleets.
Other stargates can ae
built on the sites of cap-
tured Beacon Stars by hav-
inq a Miner ship and a
Gun ship adjacent to the
Beacon Star and canniba-
lising these to create a
star qate.
Every star gate pro-
duces three E.R.Us every
turn and these are he
mark of who is winning
L game. These are also
the basis of new ships,
? 0 m the cheap to produce
Miners, to the expensive
Gun Ships.

Sun Polyps are one of the
jalaxy's many natural
phenomena. Clouds of
these small creatures drift
In the outer atmospheres
of planets, enriching and
Increasing it.
But planets fortunate
tnough to have these mi-
nute beings in orbit
oound them, now find the
more mercenary elements
fli the galaxy eager to get
ma hands on them.
In Pirates and Polyps, it
li your job to protect the
polyps from a band of pi-
rales.
You control a scanner
and two laser bases on the
wriace of the planet and
must stop pirate vessels
trom destroying and steal-
ing polyps.
If both your laser bases
* the projector are hit,
ten the game is lost. And
Ball the polyps are stolen
the game is also over.
But you can collect the
polyps yourself, by aiming
Tour scanner at one and
enticing it down to earth.
h order to collect a
polyp or destroy a pirate
ressel radar scanners at
the top and left side of the
ween must be lined up
onto the appropriate
targets Key "Z" will fire
the LEFT laser base, key
V will fire the RIGHT

When a pirate vessel
lands on a polyp it will be
captured. The pirate will
change to red and proceed
to the top of the screen.
You will lose the polyps if
the pirate reaches the top
of the screen.
But a "stolen" polyp can
be saved by destroying
the pirate with laser fire.
Pirates come in four
different guises, so don't
be fooled by them. If the
pirate ships cannot find a
polyp then they turn and
head back to earth bent on
destruction. If they man-
age to hit your scanners or
a laser base, it will be
destroyed.
If a laser base is des-
troyed then it is not us-
able. If the projector has
locked onto a polyp, then
the polyp will be drawn
into the projector auto-
matically, unless a pirate
ship intervenes.
Laser fire destroys pi-
rates but has no effect on
the polyps. The projector
has no effect on pirate ves-
sels.
It's a hard game to win
but the tactics will soon
become clear when you've
had a few turns at polyp-
collecting.

The inner workings of a software
house
Software houses have had
to learn their trade last.
Two years ago. games
programming companies as
successful as Bug-Byte,
Psion, Quicksilva and Im-
agine were unthinkable.
Now games software is big
business and new software
houses are appearing at!
the time. We asked one ol
these. Visions, to tell us ab-
out their operation, so if you
send away a tape for con-
sideration, you'll under-
stand just what processes it
has to go through before it
finds its way into the local
W.H. Smiths.
Visions was set up in West
London last summer by lour
people with a background
in different areas of the
software industry: Sean de-
'Bray was previously in-
volved in commercial soft-
ware consultancy; Roz
Evitts comes from a public
relations company which
specialised in computer
clients; John Burnham is the
production director with a
background in the audio in-
dustry and Martin Parmiter
is the financial director.
They pooled their talents
to become Visions and start
producing games for the
home market.
Any software house is ultimately
only as good as its programs so Vi-
sions treat theirs with special care.
The company aims to have six
programmers employed when it gets
into full swing, but like many other
games companies, a lot of the ideas
are sent in by freelance writers.
These are tested and evaluated
quickly. The accompanying informa-
tion is read and the game cassette
loaded on the required machine.
Some games have an initial impact
and the testers take to them straight
away, others only become compul-
sive when they have been played
with for a while.
Any that show promise are looked
at by other members of the Visions'
staff — four people usually test each
game and give their comments, and
they're all keen games players.
As soon as it gets the go-ahead,
the team start working on whether
the game needs tidying up or if there
are a few areas which need improve-
ment. The programmer is contacted
straight away and invited down for a
chat — young programmers are
asked to bring a parent. The sche-
dule of the game is already being
drawn up, with thought going into a
possible release date, when adverts
would need to be put into magazines
and what sort of artwork will be used
in presenting the cassette.
On meeting the programmer, the
suggested improvements are talked
over and Visions try to discover if he
is capable of doing these himself or
whether he will need help from the
programmers on staff. Does he need
any additional equipment to make j
the improvements, are there any
books which might help.
At the end of the meeting, he is
offered a contract. The company
pays 25% royalties but will also pay
an advance if extra work is involved.
Visions' designer asks an artist in
to look at the game and work on
some ideas for the cassette inlay.
Presentation of the cassette is an
important factor in how it sells so a
great deal of thought goes into the
name of the game, the images which
appear on the cassette packaging
and how it will be represented A
advertisements.
If the formula is right, the cod
pany can end up with a top-sellinJ
cassette, finding its way into l3
15,000 homes.
HOW
Visions put great stress on the way
freelance programmer presents
games cassette.
The more information they h
the quicker Visions' testing and ,
duction team can go into action.
Professional presentation can
long before the games tester e ._
loads the cassette. One obvious re-
quirement is to make sure you in-
clude your name and address andd
phone number if you have one.
Explain what machine your game!
works for, whether it needs memori
expansion, joysticks or any specidl
cartridge to run.
Give its title, a brief write up on
what kind of game it is and a runj
down on the key controls. Full ij
structions should be included.
Is it written in Basic or Machine!
Code and what other machinal
might it be possible to transfer tbJ
game to?
Have you sent the game any where!
else and if so, is it on offer?
Before the tape goes in the post!
check that it loads, try it on moie!
than one tape machine. Now it's tiroef
to include some personal details.
Give your age if you're still an
school, add a biography of your coin
puter experience and (if you think m
will help) where the idea for the
game came from.
Your prize game may still not find
its way into the shops but now yooi
have at least given it every chancel

Presentation on the
Simon Hunt talks colour and sound
The tips on Atari presentation come
courtesy of English Software.
Simon Hunt is the programmer
giving you the benefit of his know-
ledge of the Atari machine. He is
responsible for the jewel in English
Software's collection, Diamonds.
Diamonds is written in purely
machine code, but Simon has repro-
duced the title sequence in Basic
and uses it to illustrate a number of
techniques which you can adapt to
your own programs.
Variables used In the listing
REGBKGD. REGDIAM. HEGBKG2. REGNAME. REG-
TEXT: These deline the addresses of the colour
registers corresponding to the colour ol the back-
ground, diamonds, author's name, and the other
text.

appended labels to (he ends of data statements to
show what the data is.
RAM TOP defines the register which points to the top
of usable memory.
CHBAS defines the register which points to the
beginning ol the character set table.
SETP points to the area of memory IK below Ramlop:
this is where my new character set will be placed.

location in the new character set table.
CHAR controls the input of the 44 re-defined charac-
ters.
BYTE controls the input ol the eight bytes which
deline each character.

AUTHOR: SIMON HUNT

lieve Presentation is the most impor-
tant consideration of the three. In
this listing below I'll start by show-
ing how the colours are set up be-
tween lines 600 and 720.
Register 708 is colour register 0;
register 712 is Colour register 4. The
values of any combination of hue
and luminance can be calculated by
multiplying the hue value by 16 and
adding the luminance level. This
value is them poked directly into the
colour register. So SETCOLOUR
1.4.8, can be replaced by Poke 709,
4*16+8 or Poke 709,72.
Note that in Graphics mode 0 col-
our register 2 (location 710) defines
the colour of the background, but in
graphics modes 1 and 2, colour reg-
ister 4 (location 712} defines the
background colour.
Since the title page uses modes 0,
1 and 2 all at once, registers 2 and 4
have been set to the same colour to
keep the background uniform; regis-
ters 0, 1 and 3 define the colours of
the Text.
Lines 1000 to 1100 load in the char-
acter set.
The Atari's default character set is
stored in IK of ROM starting at loca-
tion 57344. The register CHBAS (756)
points to the first page of the charac-
ter set data, (a 'page' is used to
describe 256 bytes of memory). At
power-up PEEK (756) will return the
value 224 since 224'256= 57344. If we
POKE CHBAS with a different page
number (in multiples of four) the
Atari will use the data in the follow-
ing IK of memory to display the char-
acters.
Now each character is displayed
as an 8 x 8 grid. Each row of pixels is
defined by one byte of data and
where the bits are set to 1 in the byte,
the corresponding pixel in the char-
acter will be lit.
So each character is defined by
eight bytes. The first byte is the top
row, the last byte is the bottom row,
The bit values are shown in fig 1 -
to calculate the value of the byte
add the bit values together. (A row
with the end bits lit has the vahw
128+1 = 129). These bytes are
arranged in the character set table
as shown in figure 2.
Programme lines 1060 to 1090 load
the character set data into RAM IK
below Ramtop while line 1100 acti-
vates the new character set.
Lines 2000 to 2040 load the titlf
page data.
The area of RAM used to store the
data telling the Atari which charac-
ters to display on the screen, is loca-
tion 1536 to 1755. This is part of page
six (page six runs from 1536 to 179!
The rest of page six will be used to
store the display list.
Page six is an area of RAM which
is not used by Basic or the operating
system and so is free to be used by
the programmer.
The display list is set up between
3000 and 3090.
It is a list of instructions which tell
the Atari the types of graphics mode
lines to use for a screen, and where
the screen data may be found in
memory.
When you execute a GRAPHICS
command in Basic, an area at the top
of RAM is cleared and used to store
the screen data, and a display list is
generated just below this area to
define which mode lines to use in
displaying the data. GRAPHICS 0
produces a display list that defines
24 mode, 0 lines. GRAPHICS 1 pro-
duces a display list which defines 22
mode 1 lines than 4 modes 0 lines for
the text window.
By choosing the right instructions
we can write our own display list to
create whatever pattern of mode
lines we require, remembering that
the size of the screen must never
exceed 24 mode 0 lines of 12 mode 2
lines, or the equivalent.
A 'SCAN' line is the name given to
a line 1 pixel high. So a mode 0 line
is eight scan lines high; a mode 2
line is 16 scan lines high. Thus the
maximum number of scan lines in a
display is 24'8=192. My Display lis!
is structured as shown in figure 3.

Wined by two bytes - the first is
n as the least significant byte

So the first 20 bytes of page six are
displayed in mode 2 at the top of the

The next byte says skip eight scan

the mode 2 lines. The next byte says

3. Game Description
This follows the usual Adventure format, but breaks out
this mode for control of the ship, and view of the naviga-
tional details.
3.7 Navigational Details
These are reported on a screen in the Navigation Room.
The screen is not visible from "Adventure" mode, but a
"LOOK AROUND" clue mentions the screen. "LOOK
SCREEN" will display it. Details given are:—
CLONE-YEAR ZONETIME
CURRENT BEARING OR ORBIT OF VESPOZIAN
ETA AT BEARING (IN ZONETIME)
FUEL LEVEL (IN PICAROTH)
LASER OPEARTIVE OR INOPERATIVE
• Note that 1 clone-year = 200 Zonetime. 1 Zonetimes =
1 player's command.
At start, the fuel level is 600 picaroth. Picaroth is the
energy unit, and usable as follows:—
To change ship's course — 100pR
To freeze crew cryogenically — 10pR Clone-year
To fire laser — lOOOpR
3.2 Control of Vespozian
Normally from Bridge, where LOOK AROUND clue says
'Button marked Thought Control". Pressing button is
impossible, as player is restrained by Machen, the pilot.
A metal lined gangway near the door of the suit room
reveals via "LOOK AROUND" a hidden bulkhead which
can then be entered. It contains a duplicate control. No
button is visible, so the player must deduce there is a
button from his look at the Bridge. Pressing the button
puts the game in "control mode" eg-
A THOUGHT IS FRAMED IN YOUR MIND
HEADING, CRYOGEN, LASER or END?
To change the ship's direction, a touch of the "H" key
will cause the current location and heading to be display-
ed, and a request for new destination.
The reply is validated against known planets and stars,
and against the current fuel level. If OK, the course
correction is applied and confirmed, and the fuel de-
creased by 100pR.
As the ship passes each planet, between moves, the
screen is cleared and:

RUNS ON A BBC MODEL B.
CONVERTED BY STEVE WILLIS
The display of the BBC is far superior in ihe Teletext mode
(MODE 7) and of course the BBC has its very flexible sound
options. It is in these two areas where the BBC translation has
been enhanced, using a set pattern of colours for the displays
with 'meaningful^!) sounds.
Because space is tight on the BBC, especially when a large
number of string arrays are in use, 1 have adopted a space
saving way of inserting coloured displays.
This does require some work and the method for a machine
with a 0.1 operating system is more complicated.
In order to use the listing provided, colour is not needed but
mods will be required in the DATA strings (lines 1520-1580).
where I have shown words highlighted in yellow the words
should be omitted and 1 space inserted instead. To use colour
then the word must be replaced by its respective colour control
character instead of a space. Following is a list of colour control
character/keyboard equivalents: —

ERROR
MAGENTA
5
E
LINE
CYAN
6
F
OFF
WHITE

G

8
H
SPC flashing otf9
I
On the 1 .0 or later operating systems these can be inserted
using the shift + a function key (where the function key number
is the number in the 3rd column above). On 0.1 systems the
function keys must be programmed using commands such as
'KEY1 !!!A to give red; the remaining keys are as in the 4th
column above, e.g. 'KEY2 M!B for green.
Please note however that, once typed in. listing these DATA
lines will display the keyword and not the colour. This is fine as
long as you do not edit any part of the line. If you edit a DATA
line showing keywords then every keyword in that line must be
replaced by the colour again.
For the strings in the text colour control display lines. These
can be inserted between the first " and the first character of the
string. The string will then be displayed in colour during listing
as well as running. A spinoff is that the remainder of the listed
line, after the end of the string, will also appear in colour to the
end of the display line; this does not have any bearing on the
operation of the program.

Presentation on the
Taming the beast by Nat and Franklin
Giving your Dragon games a profes-
sional look are two of Salamander
Software's top programmers.
Writing under the obscure title of
Nat and Franklin are Peter Neale
and one of Salamander's other prog-
rammers who wishes to remain
anonymous.
Peter Neale is Texas-born and has
been involved in computing since
high school in the States, where he
learnt most of skills by playing Star
Trek on a remote teletype link to the
University of Texas computer.
He arrived in England in 1974 to
attend the University of Sussex and
then spent four years as an IBM
mainframe programmer, two years
as an accounts programmer and two
as a system programmer.
Finally he quit to set up Salaman-
der Software with wife and friends in
November 1982. He has a hand in
designing most of the company's ti-
tles and was responsible for Dragon
Trek and Wizard War.
Franklin claims to have been
raised on Betelgeuse V but his Earth-
ly programs include: Grand Prix,
Starjammer, Gridrunner and Frank-
lins Tomb. He is currently working
on the sequels to Franklin's Tomb
and the first will be called Lost in
Space.
Taming the Beast
Having spent many hours in the high
street Jungle, you finally managed to
cage yourself a Dragon. But now that
it's locked up in the back room, what
do you do with it?
Feed it human sacrifices on the
full moon? Not if you want to keep
your friends.
Subject it to the whims of other
Dragon Masters? This can provide
hours of harmless amusement.
But what you really want to do is to
become a Dragon Master yourself,
learning to tame and control the
majestic beast. There is only one
way to do this. Start writing prog-
rams.
There is one thing that can turn a
good game into a great game, pre-
sentation. A player's first impression
of a game is based almost solely
upon what he sees, and this will
greatly influence the player's final
Draqor
judgement.
A cluttered screen, badly pre-
sented with difficult to read-
information, or boring graphics, can
turn a player off, and he may grow to
dislike what would otherwise be an
excellent game.
The hardest and possibly most
misunderstood aspect of presenta-
tion is printing. If you bought a book
you wouldn't expect to find words
split haphazardly, crooked margins
and spelling mistakes.
Neatness does, after all, count.
When you are planning your prog-
ram, lay all the text out on a print
grid like the one in the Dragon
manual. Centre the text in the mid-
dle of each line or insert extra
spaces to make the margins even. It
takes more time, but the results are
worth it.

50
To further improve the appearance
of your text, try printing everything 20
in a greenbox on a coloured back-
ground. This technique is particular-
ly effective. When printing columns
of numbers, use the PRINTf" andtbe 60
PRINT USING so the text is printec 70
exactly where you want it. Using the
semi-colon (";") in your PRINT state-
ments allows you to print on any line
without destroying the rest of the
line. Use all these techniques
together and you will find that you;
program will begin to take on a pro-
fessional appearance.
It can be very useful to POKE char-
acters directly onto the screen in-
stead of printing (the text screen is
located between addresses 1024 and
1535). Sample program 1 shows you
how you can get the complete ASC
characters set inverse video. The in-
verted alphabet is available normal-
ly by pressing Shift and @. Othe:
characters (e.g. & and %) can only be
inverted by POKEing the corred
values directly onto the screen. A
particularly useful location is 1535,
the last screen position. If you printo
character at this location, the screen
will automatically scroll up, but i
you POKE the character in, you can
avoid this.

where the X and Y co-ordinates,

ter position, you can have only one
colour and black, so be sure to plan
well in advance.
High resolution graphics are a
different kettle of fish indeed. The
number of different ways of display-
ing anything on the hi-res screens
could fill a book. The best way to
fully appreciate the hi-res graphics
is to sit down and try different things
out. The DRAW command is espe-
cially powerful. By setting up a few
DRAW strings at the beginning of
your program you can very easily
create animation effects. The only
thing to be wary of is DRAWing off
the edge of the screen, as this will
distort your picture. Sample program
3 illustrates both the DRAW com-
mand, and the effects you can get
using FOR/NEXT loops. The expand-
ing CIRCLE used for the explosion
could be easily changed to look like
an approaching tunnel or planet.
Treat your Dragon with respect
and it will be a true and loyal friend.

some dough and a lot of luck. I
know me and my friends might
look a bit rough — but we've all

We'll even give you a few hints

you join in. The professor here
has written down a few notes
that give you background to
the game. You might even
make a few quick bucks while
you're at it. We won't mind you

Everything depends on the roll
of a dice in this adaptation of
the well known game Yahtzee.
It is a dice game in which only
certain combinations of dice
score points. Once a combina-
tion has been used it cannot be
scored again. The object is to
score all 13 combinations and
make as many points as possi-
ble. Five dice are thrown in- 1

PITFALL— FUN DM THE JUNGLE!
Pitfall was one of the smash hits of 1983 and voted
Game of the Year at the Consumer Electronics Show —
which is America's Chelsea Flower Show of video
games, where all the major manufacturers show off
their prize exhibits.
Pitfall Harry's Jungle Adventure takes you on a peri-
lous search for the lost treasure of Enarc.
On your search you will encounter many dangers in
the shape of crocodiles, snakes, scorpions, logs, and
disappearing lakes.
You have just three lives and twenty minutes to locate
all the Treasures of Enarc.
Control of Harry is simple. All you do is push the
joystick in the direction you want him to move — right,
left, or up and down the ladders that connect the two
floors. Pressing the fire button makes Harry jump —
which is the way he avoids obstacles.
The nasties have different strengths and some of
them are easier to avoid than others. Generally —
timing is the key to overcoming all of these obstacles,
time your run and leap to the split second to get over
them.
The other general tip is to keep a record of the screens
that you visit, try to memorise them and note down all
the obstacles that appear on each screen.
The first screen is easy, simply skip Harry across a
stationary log and one hole and your are on your way to
the next screen.
The first major hazard appears on screen three in the
shape of a bog. Hop on to the vine — timing your leap
carefully — and jump again as soon as you land on the
far side of the bog to clear the log rolling towards you.
Toughest of all the jungle adversaries are the crocs.
The only way to get across a croc infested lake is to use
their heads as stepping stones. There are two ways to
deal with the crocs — the slow safe way, and the fast
risky way.
For the more cautious of you there is a safe spot at the
back of each crocs head where you are out of reach of
those snapping jaws.

Tips for
tackling top
:
by Eugene Lacey
Daredevils nay wish to attempt the fast method -
time your jump so that Harry's last footstep on lane
takes place just as the crocodiles mouths begin to close
If your timing is sharp enough you should be lable to
clear all three crocs in three quick hops.
A couple of easy obstacles follow the crocodiles andiJ
is not until screen seven that you come across your firs!
piece of treasure.
To claim the gold bar you must successfully negotiate
a disappearing bog. The secret of getting past this
obstacle is to position Harry in the space between the
second number and the colon on the timer. When the
bog begins to disappear make a dash to the right. This
strategy is the best one to adopt for all diasppearing
bogs on other screens.
These tips if learnt thoroughly should enable you lo
deal with all the obstacles you encounter in the follow-
ing screens.
For real speed in Pitfall you will have to learn when
and where to use the underground tunnels. These take
you through the jungle faster but be careful not to miss
out on the treasure as well as the obstacles.
QUEST FOR THE RINGS
Quest for the Rings represented a totally new concept in
games when it was launched last year.
The first ever board game come video game all in
one. The theme is very Tolkienesque with demons,
dragons, hidden rings, and strange powers.
The idea of the game is to find the 10 rings that have
been hidden by the Ringmaster. Two people can play as
a team against the forces of evil or there is also a single
player version of the game.
The video part of the game is basically a maze chase
affair. The various screens for this action are selected
by pressing the keys on the overlay giving you various-
ly; The Dungeons, The Crystal Caverns, The Shifting
Halls, and the Infernal Infernos.
Matching of partners is the key to success in the
Quest. Pick partners that work well together, one to
deal with the enemy, the other to dart in and grab the-
rings.
You can choose to be a Wizard, Phantom, Changeling
or an Alien.
Each has different powers. The Warrior is armed with
"Theor's Sword" which can slay adversaries that come
at you on a horizontal plane only. The sword is useless
if the creatures attack from above or below.
Wizards can cast spells which have the effect oi
temporarily immobilising enemies.
Phantoms can walk through walls and Changelings
can become invisible altogether though both only move
at half speed when in this state. Practising each of the
four roles is the key to mastering Quest for the Rings, on
the Philips G7000.

RTIME — FAST FOOD !
Hall the food games that have appeared since Pacman,
Jtgertime must surely be the best.
It's fast food at its quickest as you score points in an
tempt to assemble four hamburgers before the peppers,
3gs and sausages catch you.
Burgertime is a master strategy maze game. You have
plan your route very carefully. Unlike Pacman you
mnot go on long sweeping runs gobbling dots — as in
is game it's not just simple dots and slow ghosts that
B out to get you. Those pickles are really mean and the
Uy defence you have against them is a limited supply of
Extra pepper can be earned by catching the tankards of
wand cartons of french fries that appear periodically
he secret of success in Burgertime is to get the pickles
lollow you, position them under a burger, lettuce leaf
bun and then splat — drop the morsel on their heads
id send it crushing to the ground.
One tip for dealing with fried eggs is to turn and walk
*ay from them once they have been peppered — don't
ilk through the points that appear, as this will cause
e eggs to reappear.
As you move your way up through the screens the
-"out of the burgers gets more complex and you will
to think even harder about the route to take.
3 of the most dificult parts of Burgertime is learning
control the chef with the disc controller and it may pay
to spend an afternoon just steering the character
"id the screen to practice tight cornering.
— gorge yourself.
k AIDERS OF THE LOST ARK
*just too damn tough was many a gamers comment
* Howard Warsaw's adaptation of the Stephen Spiel-
ing blockbuster — Raiders oi the Lost Ark.
f 13 screen of action with their assorted challenges
■a many of you stumped.
■fyou were one of those people, then help is at hand
M if you want the satisfaction of getting there for
■arself then turn the page right now.
Bou are Indianna Jones — the hero of the game and
m in search of the Lost Ark of the Covenant.
■ The game begins in the entrance room which shows
W. a snake, and the famous whip. Pick up the snake
Jd dash down screen to the market place before the
■alee gets you.
• Once m the market place you must now assemble the
■*syou will need for your adventure.
Items are picked up by moving Indy around the screen
m simply touching the item you want. Get the magic
W, as this wil1 9 ive y°u immunity from the
fttes. Also pick up a grenade, a key. and an eyepiece
J Once these items are registered at the foot of the
feen you are ready to enter the Temple of the
■cients. To do this you must blast a hole in the side of
^■trance room with your grenade.
This needs to be a quick, clinical operation as once
' whave selected the grenade you have lost immunity
. Dm the snakes.
You will also have to remember to dart back to the
WltHind Video Games Yearbook
market place before the explosion takes place other-
wise you will be blown to bits as well.
Pick up the timepiece in the Temple of the Ancients
and head straight for the Blue Room — also known as
the Room of the Shining Light. You will now find
yourself trapped in one of the cells at the bottom of this
room. This is your first opportunity to select the whip
and blast a hole — Breakout style — in the wall of the
cell.
Once you have escaped make a dash to the right
towards the Treasure Room. Items to pick up here are
many and the Egyptian Ankh — persistence is required
to win the latter as the Gods are reluctant to part with
such a valuable item easily.
You shold now have in your possession the Ankh. two
bags of money, the time piece, and the eyepiece. Go
back to the Blue Room and get yourself trapped in one of
the cells. Select the Ankh. press the button, and hey
presto you are teleported to the Mesa Field.
From the Mesa you must find your way into the Map
Room. The map will appear at the centre of the screen.
Centre yourself on the map and move the selector dot to
the timepiece and press the joystick fire button.
This will make the clock appear. Just before the hands
of the clock are vertical select the eyepiece.
The sun will now flood in and if you look carefully
through the eyepiece at the map you will be able to see
a tiny flashing dot — in one of the mesas — this is the
location of the Lost Ark of the Covenant.
So now you know where it is the next step is to go to
the Black Market and buy a shovel which you will need
for the dig.
Take the right exit from the Black Market and head for
the Treasure Room — you will now need to recover the
Ankh to take you back to the Mesa Field, and two more
bags of money to buy a parachute.
Use the parachute to arrive in the Mesa — you are
now very close to finding the Ark and to give you further
help would only spoil the last most exciting scene of the
game. Go to it Indy.
CENTIPEDE — INSECT ATTACK!
Fun in a mushroom field can mean only one thing tol
video gamers — Centipede. .
This arcade game caused a real wow in the arcades as
it was the first game to demonstrate the full potential off
trackball controllers. .
The key to success in Centipede is to fire quickly and
fire accurately.
Beware of low lying mushrooms as the Centipede
moves down a row when it collides with a mushroom.
The secret is to clear just the right number of
mushrooms — don't clear all of them as if you do fleas
will begin to appear. You must learn to look at mushroom
configurations and act accordingly. If a formation of
mushrooms is enabling the Centipede to fall rapidly
through a certain part of the screen blast them away to
slow it down.
Not all mushroom formations are dangerous — some of
them can actually be a bonus. The best example of this is
the funnel formation in which the Centipede has to travel
through a tunnel of mushrooms to advance down screen, i
If you position blaster in just the right position at the foot
of the funnel you can completely annihilate the Cen-
9 7
^ **P et ^ e w ^ich is helpless to dodge your fire.
Large scores can only be picked up by blasting the
spiders that drop out at you every so often — to score
really highly let them get quite near to you before you let
fire.
This policy can be a bit hairy in the later stages of the
game when the action is much faster.
Centipede is a game of priorities — always pursue the
highest point scoring possibility on the screen at any
given time. Go for all the spiders, scorpions, and try to
shoot the heads off the Centipedes.
One tip for getting Centipedes that are near to the
bottom of the screen is to position yourself at the very
bottom of the screen with one mushroom one row above
you — when the centipede head comes in between let fire
with all you've got — the rapid fire created by the
mushroom and Centipede sandwich will enable you to
blast the whole thing segment by segment till it is
completely dead.
Be adventurous, take risks, and assert yourself.

DEMON ATTACK— TOUGH ALENS
Demon Attack is arguably the toughest shoot 'em up
type game available for the VCS.
No less than 84 waves of aliens are queueing up in
this cartridge to attack your laser base.
This is the hybrid of two arcade games — space
invaders and Phoenix, though unlike the official Atari
Phoenix does not have the home base.
The basic strategy is similar to invaders — slide and
shoot.
Keep constantly on the move thus preventing the
aliens from cornering you.
Pick off the low flying aliens first. If you kill these you
may notice that the higher aliens flap around the screen
harmlessly without firing back. You can now pick these
off at your leisure.
There are 10 game options in Demon Attack. You can
choose one or two players, regular or advanced aliens,
and whether or not to have guided missiles.
If you are playing the guided missile variation, be
reminded that the laser base moves together with the
missile so you must be careful not to guide your base
into an oncoming missile as you pick off the aliens.
Speed and good hand-eye co-ordination are crucial to
success in Demon Attack.

BY STEPHEN GODFREY
RUNS ON A Tl 99/4a in 16K
The baffling corridors
of mazes seem to have
a certain strange fas-
cination for our read-
ers. Maze games have
become firm
favourites with you
funny people out
there! So by public de-
mand we bring you
more mind-boggling
frustration.
Stephen Godfrey took
a look at the 3D Maze
game we printed for
the Sharp MZ-80k in
our Book of Games
earlier this year and
came up with a con-
version for the TI 99
4a.
All you have to do
is find your way
through the maze and
discover the exit.
Sounds simple, but just
try it!
You'll soon be tear-
ing your hair in great
big lumps — we
guarantee it! But
never mind Stephen
has come up with a
cure for premature
baldness.
Stephen has also
included an ingenious
"cheat" command —
but you'll have to play
the game to find out
just what that does for
you. Other, more stan-
dard controls, are;
"L" for left, "R" for
right, "M" to move for-
ward and "F" to turn
180 degrees.
Program notes
To make your life
easier type in lines 14
to 27 first and RUN.
Then substitute the
characters shown be-
low — where they
occur — with the given
keystroke. (Note: This
will be different if you
have a TI 99/4.)

Licensing video games is a
marketing man's dieam. Theory
and imagination meet head on as
the most unlikely titles, characters,
and products are "tied up" at enor-
mous cost to be converted into
home video games.
It all started with arcade games.
It was an obvious step for the home
video games manulacturers to
license the title of a popular arcade
game and convert it for home use.
Gamers now take for granted
that successful arcade titles will
eventually be converted for the
home systems. But just five years
ago it was thought very innovative
when Atari introduced home ver-
sions of Space Invaders and Break-
out for home use.
Now any arcade game which pro-
duces the slightest tremour of
popularity in the arcades is leapt
on by the large firms license-
hunters.
Many games are tied up even
before they go into the arcades, just
in case they are hits.
Licensing has been the salvation
of the arcade game manufacturers
many of whom receive millions of
pounds for their games.
Of course this has its bad side as
well as its good side and many
people in the arcade business be-
lieve that quick conversions to the
home are killing the revenues of
the arcade proprietors.
Whatever the effects on the
arcade industry these games are
key targets for the home game
manufacturers.
Parker Brothers spent four mil-
lion dollars each to get Popeye,
Q'bert and Tutankham and expect
to have to pay at least this in the
future for good titles.
Colecovision could not quote an
exact figure for licensing arcade
games because the deals they
make are usually tor more then one
game. One thing is certain though
— with two of the hottest titles of
the year in the shape of Zaxxon and
Donkey Kong the sums involved
would, as with Parker Brothers, be
104
How your
favourite heroes
are turned into
your favourite
games.
By Eugene Lacey
measured in at least six figures.
Atari are in a slightly more
favourable position than some of
their competitors as they have their
own arcade division.
This means that they already
own the rights to several hit games.
Centipede, Pole Position, and Xe-
vious to name but three.
Fortunes are made on the rights
to arcade games but even larger
fortunes are made on the rights to
films.
Mattel Electronics were the first
company to produce a home video
game based on a popular film re-
lease — with their Tron games for
the Int el li vision.
Their deal with Walt Disney also
enables them to produce games
based on some of the Disney car-
toon charaters.
Atari followed into films in a big
way last year with a 25 million
dollar deal with Stephen Spielberg
which enabled them to produce
both ET and Raiders of the Lost
Ark games for the V.C.S.
The list of game-of-the-film titles
is now a larger category than
sports simulations.
Like all so-called comprehensive
lists I've probably left something
out. However, here are all the video
games, some of which are not
available in the UK. based on fea-
ture films.
ET, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jedi
Arena, Return of the Jedi, The
Empire Strikes Back, Superman,
Spiderman, M.A.S.H., Tron —
Deadly Discs, Tron — Maze-a-Tron (
Tron — Solar Sailor, Buck Rogers,
China Syndrome and James Bond
007.
Before you read this there wi
probably be half a dozen oth
films announced for the vid
games treatment.
Although several films have n
been converted by far and away t
most expensive must surely be
Star War games.
The exact details of Par
Brothers deal with George Lucca,
the director of the Star War films, :
not known. We do know that Par
Brothers have the rights to produ
all sorts of games and toys b
on the films
There will be dozens of Star W
toys in the shops this Christro
from large plastic Millenium Fd
cons, models of R2-D2, C3-P0
Chew Baca and the video games
of which Parker already have thr
with one more in the pipeline.
Unlike Spielberg, who recei
his money "up front" from A:
Lucas earns a percentage of
profits of all the Star Wars toys.
Blockbuster films are by
means the only areas being loo
at by the game license hunters.
Anything which has pop
awareness, particularly am
young people, can be turned into
game.
The Americans band Journey
cently became the first pop group
have their own video game and
likely to be followed by Devo
number two. Come on Duran [>
let's have the first British group
video game.
Television programmes are
being looked at and in America
firm recently advertised a Dukes
Hazard game, which should j
beat Atari's Muppets game on
the shelves.
We have probably not
scratched the surface of video
computer game licenses.
One clue to what to expect in
future is a game recently gone
sale in America with the charm
ly ridiculous name of Attack of
Beef Steak Tomatoes.

nuch puts you on the inside with
Be action happening around you.
The most important development
' laser disc games. The next gen-
ation of arcade games will feature
"?r disc technology with film ac-
i reacting to the player's move-
ment and firing.
' ^ e f w y ° 9Qme CaIled Astron Bel1
in UK arcades, showing what is
ssible on laser disc.
Astron Belt puts a computer
iphic ship in front of a film back-
hand, which comes from a
flpanese science fiction film. The
ackground consists of planets,
i alien ships and alien land-
es and when the computer reg-
rs a hit on an alien craft, the
*n dissolves into a bright orange
plosion.
Jhe game has plenty of flaws but
should be corrected and im-
w as the manufacturers under-
i the medium better. The main
oolem with laser disc is interrup-
Bin the game action.
This is due to the speed at which
laser can search appropriate
ies and sounds called for by the
yers response.
One way around the disc response
w e is to store the information in an
cient way so that it follows the
games logical sequence. Another
more expensive way is to use a dou-
ble disc system so that one disc fol-
lows the current action while the
second prepares for the player's next
move, providing a "seamless" pic-
ro^Af? laSeF disc cabinet cost s about
£2.000 but it is easily re-usable with
a new game disc.
Other examples of games using
this technology are: Dragon's Lair
and Eon and the Time Tunnel.
Dragon's Lair is a fully animated
sword-and-sorcery cartoon with the
player taking the part of Dirk the
Daring. He swashbuckles through a
castle loaded with scorpions,
snakes, trapdoors and pools of fire.
Eon and the Time Tunnel is a simi-
lar fantasy theme but the player
travels through a series of movie
scenes featuring ominous Welsh
castles and futuristic cities.
Astron Belt also features the vibra-
seat. A chair which shakes and vi-
brates in time with the action, so
those explosions can really rock you
to the core.
Another arcade breakthrough is in
allowing players to take on each
other as well as the computer. A
Cahfornian company, Simutron has
just produced the Simulator game
system which allows up to 16 players
to interact on one tournament centre.
Each player is sat in a cubicle with
up to four screens of action in front of
him. The first game using this sys-
tem is called: Star Trek: The Motion
Picture (not to be confused with the
m
li

rounds in arcades).
A player has four screens of in-
formation, showing tactical displays
and laser disc film from the movie
Star Trek. It has a hundred buttons,
voice synthesis and stereo sound. If
he wants to compete against a
friend, the other players' ships
appear on his screen as rebel fleets.
For the future they plan a sports
simulation, a fantasy game and
games based on other popular
movies. The system can also be con-
nected down a phoneline to other
similar centres allowing a nation-
wide or even worldwide tournament
In the U.S. they are already doing
without the phones, using cables.
I he system is currently limited to a
small audience served by Play-
Cable, a New York City-based firm,
half-owned by Mattel. This winter
will see the launch of the Games
Network of Los Angeles and three
other companies (including Atari)
are exploring the possibilities.
PlayCable offers subscribers (SI 5
a month) 20 video games which
change every month. The system can
only be used by owners of Mattel's
Intelhvision System and games are
downloaded into the system in about
10 seconds.
Games Network will place a mic-
rocomputer in the subscribers home
for S50 (about £35) and then it's $14 a
month for 20 games, including some
arcade hits.
It's all just around the corner.
Behind the quiet facade of
suburban homes all over the
country something strange
Is going on. In the quiet cul-
de-sacs and peaceful tree-
lined streets of towns and
cities you'll find ordinary
looking homes which hide a
secret known only to a
select few. Venturing into
this secret world takes you
on a nostalgic journey — but
if the secret gets out then
the residents of these
houses may have already
discovered the shape of
things to come!
Keith Temple, who lives
on the outskirts of London,
near Croydon, is one of the
HNBALL
CRAZY
lim Metcalfe finds
he isnt the ontv one. mM
few. The back room of his
house is an Aladdins' cave
of arcade memorabilia —
with pride of place given
over to two veteran pinball
machines. All bumpers,
bells and bright lights these
machines are Keith's pride
and joy. Along with four
other pins and a magnificent
50/5 style juke-box that isl
Keith is just one of the 300
or so members of the Pin-
ball Owners' Association
iwhich has kept the art of
playing the silver ball alive
during the lean years of the
video boom. Now the game
which grew up with rock V
roll and the Cold War is
coming of age in the era of
synthesised pop and cruise
missiles.
More and more people
are turning to pinball as an
alternative to hammering
the Smart bomb button on
their favourite video game.
Keith is pleased to see
pinball making a comeback
and although he is a fan of
the older machines is ready
to admit the modern games
are just as good. "The older
machines are nice to play,
but often the modern elec-
tronic pins are faster and
give you a better game."
Having said that his
favourite pins are the
"wooden-rail" machines
from the 50's — so called
because of the wooden strip
along the sides of the
cabinet.
Keith's love affair with
pinball began when he was
still at school in Lincoln-
shire. He used to nip down
to the local cafe and rattle
up a few high scores.
Several years later he was
passing a shop in Croydon
and saw a pin-table Ian-
guishing in the window. "1
thought to myself. I've got
to have thatl" Later, on his
way home with a car full of
old machinery he thought to
himself: "What have I
done!"
But he
recently
Owners'
learned of the then
formed Pinball
Association and
realised that he wasn't alone
in his passion for pinball. He
joined up — becoming one
of the first members of the
fledgling association — and
since then has never looked
back. He became the asso-
ciations' Pinball Wizard at
their annual convention in
1980, beating all-comers to
that coveted prize.
Although Keith has six
machines he is just an aver-
age pinball fanatic. Other
members take their passion
even further. Some have
built special extensions to
their homes to take collec-
tions of pin-tables which
often run into double fi-
gures. There's a family of
pinball fans who have a
house full of machines and
there's a rumour that one
member owns an amazing
200 pins)
But what attracts people
like Keith to go to such
lengths to preserve these
old machines and encour-
age interest in them? "I sup-
pose there's a certain
amount of nostalgia
attached to it. But really it's
the 64,000 dollar question
and very difficult to
answer!"
Keith is an art-restorer by
trade and lavishes the same
care and attention on old
pintables as he does on
Victorian paintings.
Pinball has been thought
of as primitive compared to
the latest 3D stereo-sound
video games. And admitted-
ly many of the features
you'll find on a modern pin
date from the 30's and 40's.
But pinball has made a bold
step into the microchip age.
Electro-mechanical
machines are things of the
past — replaced by chip
controlled games. Some
even speak to you as you
flip the ball around. There
are pins based on video
game themes, like the Wil-
liams Defender and com-
bined video and pinball
games like Bally's Baby Pac-
Man. All a far cry from the
first pin-tables which had
light bulbs to mark up the
score instead of digital dis-
plays!
Pinball has also survived
conversion to the small
screen. Some video games
centres have pinball car-
tridges produced for them
and computer owners can
also play pinball.
Tandy brought out a car-
tridge for the TRS-80 Colour
Computer which had the
added attraction of allowing
the player to design his own
playfield. T exas owners can
also play the game.
But for people like Keith
their will never be a substi-
tute for the real thing.
They'll be Pinball Crazy until
their flipper fingers seize-
upl

Communication to Track-
er Z680 ... unprogrammed
android in your sector.
Type: security droid. Sta-
tus: control malfunction.
Solution: terminate
message ends.
Another assignment for
the overworked and
underpaid Tracker. A
dangerous job hunting
down rogue androids. You
never know just what you
are likely to come up
against. Some of them are
pretty tough customers.
But then, so are the Track-
ers ...
These men are the bounty
hunters of the 21st cen-
tury. Seeking out and des-
troying rogue androids
who get too big for their
programming sequence.
Now you can join the elite
ranks of these modern day
hunters and save the
world from the dangerous
androids.
The fugitive android lurks
somewhere among the
obstacles on your Tracker
control screen, displaying
the sector your Tracker
patrols. The Tracker must
catch the android within
18 moves or the fugitive
realises it is being fol-
lowed with nasty con-
sequences for the Tracker.
To catch the android the
Tracker first has to work
out the best route to reach
his target and input them
into his control computer.
The complete set of
moves must be typed in —
up to 18 — and then just
hit the return key and sit
back and watch.
The Tracker on screen
follows the appropriate
course step by step.
While this is going on a
small arrow points to the
appropriate instruction on
the line the player has
keyed in, and the move
number is shown. Inputs
are: L = left, R = right, U -
up, D = down.
Remember totake care
when you are typing the
listing into your machines.
If you make a mistake it
could mean many frustrat-
ing moments.
So to save your sanity
check each line carefully
— and only turn to the
Bug Hunter as a last re-
sort!

Late at night, when we were
sitting around looking at
programs for this year book
in the C&VG office we sud-
denly hear a mysterious snif-
fing sound coming from the
computer room. Expecting to
find Mai Function up to no
good among the software we
crept up to the door and
slowly pushed it open. Not a
Bug in sight. But sitting in the
middle of the floor was a
small round yellow being
with a small tear running
down its chubby cheek. A
Pac-man. "What's wrong lit-
tle fellow?" we asked. "I've
heard you are doing a great
programs we have known
section in the yearbook," it
said, wiping away another
tear. "Why, yes," we replied,
"But why are you upset? Pac-
men are usually happy little
creatures." "A little ghost
told me that I was being left
out!", it sobbed. "How could
we leave you out! Everyone
loves a Pac-man!"
Its round face brightened.
"Really!" it exclaimed. "Of
course!" we said. "Just wait
until I see that ghost!" said
the Pacman, gulping down a
powerpill, "I'll soon sort him
out!" And with that he dis-
appeared in a puff of golden
smoke, leaving behind him
this neat little listing for the
Spectrum.
This program gets as close
to the original arcade version
as is possible within the
limits of the Spectrum. There
are four power pills, two
escape tunnels, and all the
video-pills a Pac-man can eat.
Because of the limitations of
Basic there is only one ghost
— but he's a mean Pac-
hunter. And there's a nice
twist to the original theme
which gives the little mun-
cher additional problems.
The power pills can be trans-
formed into poisonous pills
by the devious ghost. While
they are poisonous to the
Pac-man the pills stop
flashing. You get three lives
as in the arcade version and
the Pac-man is controlled by
using the "Q" key to move
up, "2" down, "M" left and I
"N" right.

Glossary of Computer Terms
6502
The CPU chfp use JTh marly popular home computers, e.g.
BBC, and Oric, also in the Atari VCS games centre.
6809
A newer CPU chip with some similarities to the 6502. As used
in the Dragon-32.
Absolute /r^.
A way of specifying movement on the screen whicffbears no
relation to where you are moving from. E.g., Move to
coordinates (10,9). See also relative.
Accumulator
The main register in the CPU on which arithmetic and other
instructions operate. To use certain functions on other
registers requires copying that register into the accumulator,
operating on it and then returning the registers to their
original state.
A name, number or label indi
computer's memory.
Adventure
The name given to computer simulations of fantasy
role-playing games. The machine plays the part of the
adventurer which you control by giving instructions from the
keyboard usually in plain English. The objective is usually to
find treasure.
Algorithm
A detailed step-by-step description of a problem which can
then be solved by translation into part of a computer
program.
Append ^
A Basic command to load data or a program into the
computer and add it on to the end of whatever is there
already.
Argument
The value on which a Basic function operates, e.g., POKE has
two arguments: an address and its contents.
Array / ^~ > \
A way of storing related pieces of information* in the
computer, so that each element of the array shares a
common variable name. E.g., instead of storing a list of
addresses as A, B. C and their 'phone numbers as D, E, f, two
arrays'couldfcfrusedjso that the addresses would be labelled
A(l), A(2), A(3) and tfte phone numbers as P(1>, P(2) and P(3}.
Then, finding the phone number for a known address
becomes simple.
asc( )
A Basic function to give the ASCII code of the character in the
brackets, e.g.
PRtlfrSSscrA")
will print 65. If you use :ASCqn awing, the function will
return the ASCII code of the first character in the string.
asoi
American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A
standard code used in most micros to represent 1 28
characters in a 7 bit code.
Assembler
A program which helps in writing machine code programs. It
allows the programmer to enter rfoehinaxdde instructions
using mnemonic codes which are easier to femember than
the hex values, eg., in 6502 machine code one way of loading
a value into the accumulator is by using hex code A9. With an
assembler, the load-accumulator instruction is LDA.
ATTR
A Basic function on the ZX Spectrum used to find data about
a certain point on the screen. For a pair of coordinates it
returns the colour of the screen at that point, whether it is in
extra-bright modgjnd whether that particular character is
flashing or stqad^-^'
\
Beginners' All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. A
programming language invented in America in 1964 and
available in almost all computers from those running power
stations to those playing Space Invaders.
BAUD RATE /p^.
The speed at which data bits are sent down a win^rBaud rate ]
is approximately equal to bits per second; so with an average
of ten bits per byte an interface working at 300 baud can
transmit or send about 10 characters per second (or CPS.)
■"• - peo^rum and Jupiter
Ace to Drgcttjse sound from the built-in speaker. The two
argu rftems atafljtch and duration, where pitch is relative to
middle-C and duration is specified in a range from 0 to 255.
Binary
Base two. The way in which all information is represented in
the computer internally. The only digits used are 1 and 0
which correspond to an electrical signal either being present
in a wire or not.
A short form for binary digit, a's*?I<£ie s > 1y3^0.
An area round the edge of a playing screen which can be a
different colour from the main playing area. Used mainly to
ensure that the whole of the game is visible on the screen.
Bright

has two.
120
Bug
An error in a program which prevents it from working
properly.
Byte

bits. "S \
Computer and Video Games Yeirbook
! A (usually) plastic case containing magnetic tape on which
i programs can be stored using two frequencies. The
computer can '^i oLo a" to a cassette and reconstruct the
program at afatf rdajy.pne frequency is used to represent a
1 and anojfcui fui «weroj(see binary).
Centronics
A form of interface for computers used in connecting
printers. The Centronics interface is a parallel device as
opposed to the RS232 interface. It uses eight separate wires
for the date and a complete byte is sent at a time. Originally
used in a range of printers by Centronics, this interface is no w
standard or optional in most micro printers. / /*>-<~
Character
A letter, number or other symbol which is represented by a
unique code in the computer. The usual number of characters
' S 2 j |j' wnich represent numbers, letters and other
spe^iSES&ti control characters which mean special things like
^urnT^ p^rter'' or "change to upper or lower case".

Chip
An electronic circuit reduced photographically and produced
on a piece of silicon of around V* inch square. The final
version of a chip is much larger to accommodate the pins
which are used to connect the chip to the outside world,
CHR$( J
A Basic function to output a character whose^AScjl code is
known. E.g.. '
PRINT CHRSI65)

Qnmffy graphics
The term used to describe graphics madrfwn whole
characters as opposed to pixels. Theae'cKaracfcrt are often
whole blocks with one or more quaitm-rwDoved. As found
on machines like the ZX81.
CLOAD
A Basic command to load a program from a cassette as
opposed to loading from disk.
Command
Astatement in Basic may be either accjj]TnafWqy a function,
Acommand tells the computer to dCsomeThing |nd does not
expect a numerical or alphabetical result, while a function
does. So addition and PEEK are functions but POKE and LIST
are comrtiatfa?^
Compiler '
A program which converts a program written in a high level
language such as Basic to machine code. This may be useful
because machine code programs are hard to write but run
much faster than those in Basic. Compilers are often used in
the writing of game programs for this reason. A compiler
differs from an interpret er bec ause an interpeter translates
each hne as it is encou>KS53Twhich may be many times
during a run, while acja^iler^inslates each line once, at
the start, before the^rogram is rJn.

Copyright
The area of the law which allows the originator of a piece of
work the exclusive right to make copies of that work. No
copyright laws specific to computer programs exist at
present. The difficulties arise over the idea of a program as
much as the program itself. Because the author of a program
is entitled to a payment for each copy sold, copying of
programs illegally is considered theft.

E.g.. a prpt^ajjno ttfaVv a square needs to know where on the
screen tffecorneTs arelto be. Note that data in this sense is a
plural word as in a list of data. A single item in that list is
called a datum.
DATA
A command in Basic which is used to supply data to the
program. The word DATA is followed by the data itsplip^ith
each datum separated by a comma. To access thia^flTS^hj
function READ is used.
Debug
To ensure that a program works properly by removing the

A command used in Basic to reserve space in the computer's
memory for an array. Most machines will automatically allow
for an array to have 10 elements so if you plan to have
anything larger you must use DIM. To reserve enough space
for array D to have 75 elements, use the command
DIM DI75). Short for DIMension. /^P^

Disk (or Disc)
An alternative medium to cassettes on which computers can
store programs and data. It consists of a thin circle of plastic
cgaifid in a similar substance to cassette tape and housed in a
! C m 55'¥ 0,ecl ' ve Plastic jacket, which is why they are often
4 -«^dTfofcpy disks or floppies. They are available either 5.25

15 digits, namely 0 to 9 and then A to F. So eleven in hex is B,
and hex 10 is 16 in decimal.
High level language
A programming language in which the language itself does
some of the work for you. For example, Basic is a high level
language because most of the commands available in Basic

multiples of 4 or 8. One byte is equal to about 1 character.
Language
The set of commands with which a computer is programmed.
Basic is the most common language for beginners but special
languaeefcalso exist for certain jobs. Cobol is mainly used for
writm^Dusiia^ss programs while Fortran is a science and
rrlaths-based language.
LEFTS
The Basic function to take the leftmpstcharacters from a
nrst live characters of
i ne Basic tunction to take the leftmost charac
string, thus LEFT$(S$.5) would tdK$fiSW fl
string S$. ^
LET
Used in Basic to assign a value to a variable, eg., LET X=10 or
LET SS="HELLO".
Line number
Each line in a Basic program must have a line number. When
the program is run the lines will be executed in numerical
order, and not the order in which they were typed ifi.
LIST
A BajH^ommand to produce a copy of the current program
oglha-acreeiroV printer.
LLIST ^
List the Basic program on the printer^,..^^— * J
LOAD
Read a program into the computer from cassette or disk.
Location

small area on a chip. •
Computer and Video Games Yearbook
LPRINT
A Basic command to output to the printer as opposed to the
screen.
Machine code
The lowest level language available on a computer. It is the
language which the CPU can directly understand and
because it does not need an interpreter, machine code
programs run very fast but are complicated to write and
rtphug A typical machine code program may run 100 times
faster than its Basic equivalent./^ C~~* m
Memory map
The way in which the computer organizes its memory. The
memory map states where the machine holds its program,
variables and Basic interpreter. Most computers also hold the
contents of the screen in memory as well so that altering that
area of memory will change the contents of the screen. This
is known as having a memory-mapped screen.
Merger
Loading aerogram or data without destroying the one
already in memory. Where program lines are duplicated, the
convention is for the incoming line to replace the one already
there.
Microprocessor
A single chip which can get information in, process-ft «TYtJ
output it.
Similarto CPU.
Microsoft
A software company responsiblefor writing the Basic
interpreters in many micros.
MIDS
Afunction in Basic to extract a certain part of a strmt] starling
from a certain position and going on for a certain number of
characters. MIDS(AS,5,3) will be a string made up from AS
starting at position 5 and continuing for 3 characters.
Mnemonic
A short code which helps in remembering somettt'rrTg. For
example, in Z80 machine code, the^code to compare the
accumulator with a value is known by the mnemonic CP A.
MODEM * * »
Short for MOdulator/DEModulator. A peripheral to convert
the signals sent from a computer to the correct frequencies to
allow them to be sent over the telephone lines and fed into
another computer.
Monitor
1
A devtce used as the display for a computer. It is similar to ,i
TV screen but is of much higher quality and costs more.
Monitors cannot normally receive TV signals. A typical colour
monitor costs at least twice the price of a portable colour TV.
Monochrome
Single colour. A cqraguter display which cannot show more
than one colour. Usually black and white but can also be
green on black, or orange oh black.
125
Printer
Network
A number of computers connected together such that each
can communicate with any other and that they can share
peripherals which would be too expensive to provide for
each computer.
NEW
A Basic command to tell the computer to forget the current
program and to expect another one.
NEXT
see FOR.
Nybble
Half of a byte (4 bits.) A byte is made up from two nybbles.
The first 4 bits are called the high nybble and the last four are
called the low nybble.
Operating system
The program in the computer which controls the
coordination of all the components. Every computer has an
operating system. Some operating systems are common to
many computers subject to minor alterations. One such
system is CP/M which runs on many Z80 based machines.
CP/M controls the loading and saving of programs and also
control of the disc drive, keyboard and printer. Commands to
load and save on one CP/M machine will be almost identical
on any other machine with the same operating system.
OVER
A Basic command to print on the screen on top of the
character which is already there.
PAPER
A command on the Spectrum and Ace to specify the colour of
the screen.
PEEK
A Basic function to look at the contents of a certain location in
memory. For example, the character at the centre of the
screen on a PET is held in memory location 33268. So to see
what character is at the centre of the screen you would use
PEEK (33268).
Peripheral
Additional hardware used with a computer but not an
integral part of it. Eg. a disk drive, cassette recorder, printer or
joystick.
Phono plug
A connector commonly used to connect a computer to a TV
set or monitor.
Pixel
Short for Picture Element.
The smallest dot which can be displayed by a computer.
Pixels can be used individually or be placed in blocks to make
alphabetic or graphics characters.
POKE
A Basic command to load a certain value into a known
location in memory. The syntax of the command is:
POKE address, value
so to put character 46 (a full stop) at the centre of the screen
on a PET, type POKE 33268,46.
See also PEEK.
A peripheral used to produce output onto paper which can
then be stored, as opposed to output on a VDU which cannot.
Program
A list of instructions which will be executed sequentially by
the computer.
PROM
Programmable Read-Only Memory.
A ROM chip which can be programmed by a special PROM
programming machine. One programmed a PROM cannot be
altered or erased.
RAM
Random-Access Memory.
Memory in a computer which can be altered and is therefore
used to hold the current Basic program and data. RAM
memory loses its contents when the power is turned off.
Raster scan
The way in which a TV picture is produced in the set itself. A
single dot scans across the 625 horizontal lines which make
up the picture. Whatever the display on the screen, the dot
always follows the same course. It goes so fast that the
display appears steady and stationary.
READ
Used in Basic with a DATA statement. It reads one item from
the DATA list each time it is called.
Register
A memory location built into the CPU chip itself, used to hold
data temporarily to perform arithmetic and logical functions.
Relative
A way of specifying direction which does not depend on
where you are going but on where you are coming from. Eg.,
"move 7 positions to the left" is a relative direction.
See also Absolute.
RENUMBER
A Basic command to alter the line numbers of a program so
that they all run in even, neat steps. RENUMBER should also
alter any GOTO or GOSUB statements as well to enable the
program to run correctly.
Resolution
The number of pixels which a computer can display on the
screen at one time. The higher the number, the better quality
graphics can be produced.
RESTORE
Used in Basic with READ and DATA. RESTORE sets the data
pointer back to the beginning so that the next READ
statement will start reading from the first item in the DATA
statement.
RETURN
See GOSUB.
RIGHTS
Similar Basic command to LEFT$ but takes the last characters
from a string. Eg., RIGHTS ("therefore", 4) would be "fore".
Computer and Video Gimts Yearbook
RND
A Basic function to produce a random number, used in
games and simulations.
ROM
Read-Only Memory.
, A memory chip whose contents cannot be altered. ROMs are
used to hold such .things as the Basic interpreter and the
! operating system.
PCWI
The name of an interface used for connecting computer
peripherals together. All devices with RS232 interfaces
should by definition have the same connections via a 25pin
0-plug although some manufacturers vary these for their
own use. The RS232 is a serial interface which means that
although there are 8 bits to a byte the bits are sent one at a
time down a single wire.
See baud rate.
RUN
A Basic command to start the execution of the current
program in the computer.
SAVE
A Basic command to record the current program on to
cassette or disk, so that it can be re-used at a later date.
Scroll
Moving the contents of the screen up or down by a single
pixel or character at a time. Some programs also scroll the
screen sideways.
Shoot- em-up
Avideo game where the object is to shoot at aliens which are
j above you. The first such game was Space Invaders.
Software
Programs for a computer. The part of the computer which
cannot actually be seen (unless printed out on screen or
printer) See also Hardware.
String
A set of between 1 and 255 characters assigned to the same
variable name. Some Basics allow strings of unlimited
length, but most allow 255, which is the highest number
which can fit in 1 byte.
Subroutine
A frequently-used part of a program, placed, usually at the
end, which can be called whenever needed. Thus although it
is used frequently, it only needs to be typed in once.
See also GOSUB.
Subscript
Anumber used to identify single elements in an array.
Although each element has the same variable name they
have different subscripts. Eg,
LET A$(7) = "COMPUTER"
where the variable name is AS and the subscript is 7,
Syntax
The composition of a statement, its arguments and any
punctuation. Eg., a certain Basic statement may need two
arguments, separated by commas and a semi-colon at the
end. If this is not typed correctly it will be rejected by the
computer with a "SYNTAX ERROR" message.
Computer and Video Games Yearbook
TRACE
A command in Basic which prints out the line number of each
statement as it is executed. This can be useful in debugging
to check that the program lines are being executed in the
correct order.
Upper case
The characters available on a computer by pressing a key at
the same time as pressing a shift kev^The shift key usually
punctuation and graphics for the others.
User defined graphics
Graphics characters made up of a block of pixels which can
be designed by the user. Custom characters can then be
made, like a Pacman figure or a space invader.
User friendly
Describes a program which is easy to operate by
non-computer minded people.
A good user-friendly program will help the operator and
should produce helpful messages in response to mistakes
from the user.
USR
Used to transfer execution from the Basic program being
executed to a machine code routine written by the user. This
may be done if a certain part of the program needs to be
executed very fast or for certain things which Basic cannot
do.
VDU
Visual Display Unit.
A monitor or TV used as the output device for a computer.
Vector Scan
The alternative to raster scan. Instead of scanning the whole
screen, the dot traces out the shape of whatever it is required
to produce. Programming such a device needs great care
because if the dot is allowed to stop for just a fraction of a
second it will burn straight through the screen! Vector scan
produces clearer, smoother graphics.
As used in some arcade games like Atari's Asteroids, and
also in the Vectrex.
Verify
Used in Basic to compare the program currently in RAM with
one on tape or disk, to ensure that it has been SAVED
correctly.
Word processor
A program to accept text from the keyboard and help in
producing written documents. A good word processor will
align the text to the margins, store standard letters on disk
etc. Separate files of addresses can be stored so that a single
letter need only be in typed once but can be printed many
times with different addresses on top.
Z80
A common CPU used in many micros including the Spectrum
and Sharp MZ80K.

Muppet creator Jim Honson put his puppeteers to
work on a fantasy epic last year.
He created a land peopled by the weird Mystics,
cruel Skeksis and gentle Pod People. Through this
world two Gelflings are sent on a quest to break the
rule ol the Skeksis and return peace to the land.
A computer program of the quest was released and
we at Computer and Video Games asked readers to
come up with their own graphic representations of
the weird and wonderful creatures from the world of
the Dark Crystal.
head of Aughra. one of the "stars" of the film, flown
over from America, the book of the film — beautifully
illustrated by artist Brian Frood — and an LP of the
film score.
When Bruce McNally, Henson Associates* creative
director came in to judge the entries, he found a
runaway winner in Alan Outter's marvellous repre-
sentation of Jen the Gelfling on the BBC.
We show a screen picture of the winning entry over
