excellent games that have

only ever been published

before on our sister title

Commodore Disk User

goo enough Paul?), although

only ever on disk. Now tape

original games of such a

high quality.

KENNY DAIGLISH SOCCER MATCH - Could this be the best

football game ever? No not a chance. If you want a

good laugh look at the screenshots and you'll be rolling

around on the ﬂoor for ages (a bit like an Italian Footballer)!

Did you notice that something was missing in your lives for just one month?

Was there a big gap? Did you wander around with your gob gaping open in a

dull numbness? Well, I can solve your mystery illness with a few select words,

"we missed a month". I hope that's answered your queries, no more letters to

Arthur C. Clarke. ''But", I hear you cry, "Why?"

Go and look at the masthead, and in particular the address. Go on, I'll wait

here... Turn... Turn_ Ie... Tummmm... Right, notice anything different? Yep,

we've moved, no more Hemel Hempstead for us roving reporters, no siree,

hello Milton Keynes, and hello new publisher. "But

everything.

I almost felt sorry

for him as I sat at my

spanking new desk looking

on. mind you the RSPCA did

phone a few times about cruelty

to animals, but I assured

them that Ash enjoyed the

work. Next time he'll just

have to get a bigger car.

So amongst coffee

chests, and bubble

wrapping we come to you

yet again with a more

Milton Keynes sort of

meg, and if you don't

enjoy it, the same

kneecap-less

violence is

applicable.
