Controversial comment on the Spectrum news scene, From The Hip, 01_ Affairs and there's a quid

Here we go — it's just

like Fleet Street all over

again! Only it's not

Bingo this time, but

from an adventure

program.

HareSoft. a new

company on the software

scene, has announced a

treasure hunt based on

its latest package

winner could take away

It was jolly nice of

Activision to invite the

13'staff down to a

preview of the movie

Ghostbusters on

Halloween night. The

reason for all this 'free-

lunch' generosity? Well,

you're not going to

believe this but

Activision has actually

managed to release

Ghostbusters — the

Spectrum game

before the movie goes on

general release!

Following the ﬁlm

quite closely, you can

even sing along with the

theme by Ray Parker Jr

by following the

bouncing ball along the

lyrics on the screen.

Pressing the space key

yields the Ghostbusters

cheer to punctuate the

tune in the right place.

Probably one of the best

bits of the program!

The game's plot is to

the Golden Hare (of

Masquerade fame) or

E.30,000. And for those

without calculators that's

E5,000 more than you'll

win at Domark's

Eureka.

Who'll be brave

enough to launch the

ﬁrst El million prize for

winning a computer

game? It's a shame

Jet-setter Mike Hale poses with his Gold Cassette.

Mike Hale, Hewson

programmer, has been

presented with a Gold

exceeding 100,000

cassettes. 'Golden Boy'

mention the Lear let

appearing soon!

If you remember taking

part in 'wizard pranks on

poor or teach' and

'stufﬁng your face with

lashings of ginger beer

after lights out', then

Microsphere's Skool

Daze is probably right up

your street.

It's one of those jolly

whizzo games in Famous

Fivelashion. You see,

what's happened is that

all your school reports

are locked up in the safe,

and you have to daze,

knock down or

hypnotise the masters

into giving you the four-

letter combination.

This clever little piece of hardware is known as the

Slowmo. It gives you control over the speed of

whatever game you've got loaded up. You can slow

the action down to very, very, slow, and there's

also a 'freeze' button if a call of nature suddenly

takes you by surprise. If you're in the market for

one of these attractive add-ons (priced at Cl 4.95)

give Cambridge Computing Research a ring on

0223 214451.

Miss this game and Microsphere'll put you in

detention.

Sounds like every

schoolchild's dream!
