Written by

Jump Jet Pilot

ﬂying one of

these unique and ,

complex ﬁghting -

machines. Here is your chance to do what few pilots have the

privilege to try.

Depending on your skill, conﬁdence and courage, you have the

choice of remaining near the landing pad, learning to hover

and land, or venturing higher to practise your approaches.

When you think you have mastered these, then accelerate the

Jump Jet into an attack ﬁghter. Use the radar and range ﬁnder to seek and destroy the

enemy, by launching heat-seeking air-to-air missiles. Beware! His radar and missile

systems are as good as yours. Reckless pursuit is ill-advised: you must maintain a fuel

level that will enable you to relocate and return to the aircraft carrier, executing the

skills you have learned to achieve a successful landing.

You are now ready to proceed to the next skill level to face additional hazards, such as

unpredictable swell and treacherous cross-winds.

Be warned, this program is not a toy or game. You wilt need to co

ordinate your hands,

eyes and mind to successfully complete each mission. Do not hope to achieve in a

short time that which took the author three years to learn as a Jump Jet pilot, and

over a year to record on this computer program.

IT'S NINE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING.

Our famous hero Adenoid Anthony is

rising from bed for a day at school.

Anthony descends the stairs and walks

over to his Commodore C999, switches it

on and dials up his local education centre

ready for the days lessons.

You may think that all of this seems a

little far fetched. Well it isn't. It is already

possible for you to link your computer to

numerous other systems around the

country by means of a device called a

modem. Quite simply a modem takes

information from one computer,transfers

it into a form which can be sent down a

telephone line and a modem at the other

end of the call transfers this back into a

form that the other computer can

understand.

The 'other computer' could be one

that is owned by a friend and you could be

sending your latest programs to one

another or it could possibly be one of the

large commercial systems such as Prestel

or Compunet. Prestel is used within many

companies for gathering information.

You must have seen Prestel terminals in

travel agents used for keeping them up to

date with variable holidays_ Compunet is a

system run speciﬁcally for Commodore

owners and offers news, games and an

area called the Jungle where subscribers

to the system can set up their own area

and store their own programs.

So you see, Adenoids' school in the

home computer' is not really all that far

away, you can already get access to a large

amount of information over your

telephone line.

In order to help you to enter this new

area of computing we have a couple of

features in this issue dedicated to

communications on your Commodore

computer.

The ﬁrst article explains just what is

available once you have forked out the

money for a modem for your computer.

There is even a list of bulletin board

telephone numbers that will allow you to

access computers all over Great Britain.

The second article gives details about

some of the modems that are currently

available for Commodore micros and

explains the differences between the

cheaper and dearer modems.

Why not join Adenoid Anthony by

becoming a part of this exciting new area?

Commodore HQ, I feel that this is not my

magazine but rather, as is stated in the

title, it is yours, the readers. In order for

me to continue seeing the magazine in

this way I must rely on all you

Commodore owners sat at home,

programming your machines and making

new discoveries, to write to me here at

Your Commodore, sending in that

fantastic new game that you know

everyone will love to play or that great

new utility that will turn your computer

into the best thing since the creation of

Commodore Business Machines.

So there you have it, get stuck into the

magazine, have fun and don't forget I'm

waiting to hear from you.

Introductions

Now it's time for the boring bit where I

get a chance to introduce myself.

You may have noticed that there has

been a few changes to the list of staff

working on the magazine. Alison Hjul has

unfortunately moved on to new pastures

and I have taken over as Editor of the

magazine.
