THE CES AT EARLS COURT.IT WAS A DISAPOINTMENT AND I WAS LUCKY 
ENOUGH TO GO WITH A MATE AND GET IN FOR FREE ON TRADE DAY       
BECAUSE £5 ENTRANCE FEE IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS.FOR A START IT 
WAS VERY SMALL AND IF YOU OMIT THE STANDS WHICH ARE SELLING OLD 
SOFTWARE YOU ARE ABLE TO GO AROUND IT IN HALF AN HOUR FLAT.
THE MAIN ITEMS WERE COMMODORE ( C64,AMIGA AND THE NEW CONSOLE)
, AMSTRAD WITH THEIR NEW CONSOLE AND 8 BIT COMPUTERS + MONITOR,A
FEW +2 AND +3 SPECCYS AND THEN THERE WAS SEGA WITH A NEW 16     
BIT GAMES CONSOLE AND NINTENDO.
THERE WAS YOUR SINCLAIR WITH THEIR OTHER MAGS AND SINCLAIR    
USER WITH A FEW MORE MAGS.MIRRORSOFT ADVERTISING THEIR NEW      
MUTANT TURTLES LICENCE,A FEW SMALL STANDS SELLING COMPUTERS +   
HARDWARE MOSTLY AMIGA,SOME SELLING DISCS AND ONE SELLING LEADS+ 
CONNECTORS.THERE WAS ONLY ONE BOOK STAND WHICH WAS VERY         
EXPENSIVE.
THERE WAS QUITE A LOT OF CHEAPIE SOFTWARE IN NEW AND TRENDY   
PACKAGING FOR THE SPECCY,AMSTRAD AND COMMODORE AND HE WOULD NOT 
SELL ANY TILL SATURDAY. OH!

THE CES CONTINUED
I FOUND A STALL SELLING SOME SPECCY CHEAPIES AND I MANAGED TO 
BUY FOR £1.50 (YES,ONE POUND FIFTY) THE CASSETTE ,LEADS AND     
INTERFACE FOR A SPECDRUM! THERE WAS ALSO PLENTY OF ACTIVITIES   
BUT THEY DID NOT START UNTIL I LEFT,AROUND 1 PM.
YOU COULD PROBALLY SPEND HOURS ON THE AMIGA,AMSTRAD,NINTENDO, 
SEGA AND ASSORTED ARCADE CONSOLES AND THEY HAD A COMPETITION    
DRIVING A CAR AND ALSO QUITE A BIT OF SUPERIOR IBM COMPATABLE   
GRAPHICS AND SOUND SYSTEMS,BUT UNLESS YOU'VE GOT AN IBM         
COMPATABLE,AMIGA,SEGA,AMSTRAD OR SUCH THERE WASN'T MUCH FOR     
SPECCY OR SAM.
ANYWAY BACK TO SAM.MR MILES WAS AT THE SHOW IN THE TEAM SAM   
STAND,THEY WERE SELLING COUPES+DRIVES FOR £199.95,DRIVE FOR     
£79.95.ENIGMA VARIATIONS WERE ALSO THERE,I JOINED THEIR CLUB    
AND MANAGED TO BUY MOST OF THEIR GAMES.
GOING BACK TO MR GORDON I ENQUIRED ABOUT A SECOND DRIVE AND I 
SAID AS MOST OF US HAVE PAID OVER THE TOP FOR COUPE+DRIVE WHAT  
ABOUT A REBATE ON A SECOND DRIVE? BUT HE SAID IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE 
SO I LEFT IT AT THAT.THERE WERE QUITE A FEW PEOPLE AROUND THE   
TEAM SAM STAND SO IT SEEMS THAT INTEREST IS QUITE GOOD.

THE CES CTD (CTD!)
I WALKED AROUND THE CORNER TO ANOTHER STAND SELLING COMPUTERS 
WHICH WAS OFFERING BASIC SAMS FOR £100.WHEN I MENTIONED THIS TO 
MR GORDON HE JUST SAID THAT HE COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.SO 
US OWNERS WHO HAVE SUPPORTED THE COUPE FROM EARLY HAVE ENDED UP 
HAVING TO PAY WAY OVER THE ODDS PLUS WE HAD TO PAY FOR THE ROM  
UPDATE SO I WASN'T VERY HAPPY BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO?
I'D LIKE TO SAY A BIG THANK YOU TO JOHN 'YOU'RE NEVER TOO OLD'
CALLUS FROM MALTA FOR THAT DETAILED REPORT ON THE CES AS ,ONCE  
AGAIN,I COULDN'T MAKE IT! THANKS
ENIGMA SAID THAT THE SHOW WAS A GREAT SUCCESS FOR THEM AND A  
LOT OF PEOPLE WERE INTERESTED IN THEIR STAND (PROBABLY BECAUSE  
THEY HAD A MASSIVE DEMO OF SPHERA ON SHOW!!) LOOK FOR NEW       
DETAILS ON ENIGMA IN THEIR PAGE.INCIDENTLY I ASKED HOW OLD THE  
AVERAGE COUPE OWNER WAS AND THEY RECKONED IT WAS 14-16!
AGAIN,THANKS TO JOHN CALLUS AND MARK GREENSHIELDS AT ENIGMA

ENIGMA VARIATIONS
BOY,HAVE ENIGMA BEEN BUSY.IN THE RUN UP TO THE CES THEY'VE    
STRUCK SEVERAL DEALS AND HAVE SOME MORE 'IN THE PIPELINE'.      
HERE ARE THE JUICY DETAILS:
FIRSTLY AND MOST IMPRESSIVE IS THAT DOMARK/TENGEN HAVE AGREED 
TO ALLOW ENIGMA TO PROGRAM THE COUPE VERSIONS OF THE GREAT HITS 
TRIVIAL PURSUIT,ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE ROBOT MONSTERS,   
KLAX AND XYBOTS.THE LAST THREE ARE SOME OF THE BEST EVER        
COIN-OPS AND ALL WERE GREAT HITS ON THE SPECTRUM.
ALL FOUR WILL BE FULLY ENHANCED VERSIONS USING THE BEST OF THE
COUPE'S FUNCTIONS TO MAKE THEM LIKELY TO BE FANTASTIC GAMES.
PIPEMANIA (FRED1) FROM EMPIRE IS ALSO DUE TO BE LICENSED.AND  
SINCE I GAVE THE SPECCY VERSION AN EXCELLENT MARK,I CAN'T WAIT  
TO SEE THIS ONE!
DAVE TONKS HAS JUST FINISHED MIND GAMES 2 WHICH SHOULD BE OUT 
NOW.AGAIN THERE WILL BE FOUR NON-BLASTING GAMES INCLUDING A 3D  
CONNECT FOUR,A SLIDING PUZZLE AND AS MENTIONED LAST MONTH A     
COUPE VERSION OF OTHELLO,FLIP-IT AS WELL AS ONE MORE.
MULTI PACK 1 AND FAMOUS FIVE ARE ALREADY OUT WHILE THE MUCH   
AWAITED SPHERA STILL HAS A MONTH TO GO TO RELEASE

FLIGHT SIMS?
FLIGHT SIMS ARE AN INTERESTING SUBJECT,NO OTHER GANE TAKES SO 
MUCH EFFORT AND CONCENTRATION TO SUCCEED AT.USUALLY THE AIM OF  
THE GAME IS TO DESTROY AN ENEMY.THIS IS NOT REALLY THE CRUX OF  
A GOOD FLIGHT SIM AS FLIGHT SIMS ARE SIMULATIONS AND NOT GAMES.
I HAVE CATAGORISED THESE SIMULATIONS INTO THREE GROUPS OF     
REALISM THAT DEPEND ON THEIR STYLE:REALISTIC,SIMPLISTIC AND     
EXCUSES.REALISTIC GAMES USUALLY USE MATHMATICALLY GENERATED     
WIREFRAME GRAPHICS AND USUALLY GIVE AN EXCELLANT IMPRESSION OF  
MOVEMENT,HANDLING AND SPEED EXAMPLES:TOMAHAWK,ELITE,STARGLIDER  
AND FIGHTER BOMBER (SHADED VECTORS!)
SIMPLISTIC FLIGHT SIMS ARE A CROSS BREED BETWEEN GOOD SHOOT-EM
-UPS AND BASIC FLIGHT SIMS THEY USUALLY DO NOT CONTAIN ADVANCED 
(REALISTIC) GRAPHICS OR HANDLING.ON THE OTHER HAND THEY'RE A    
DAMN SIGHT EASIER TO FLY,LAND AND KILL ON THAN REALISTIC ONES   
SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE BOON OF FEWER KEYS! EG ACE,ACE 2,  
DARK STAR,STARSTRIKE,TOP GUN AND NIGHT RAIDER.
EXCUSES CONSIST OF THE DIRE CODEMASTERS F-16,MIG BUSTER,MIG 29
,AFTERBURNER AND ATF.ALTHOUGH THEY FEATURE SOME FEATURES OF A   
FLIGHT SIM THEY ARE NOT THE 'REAL MCOY'

THINGS UNDER WINGS
THERE ARE FOUR CATEGORIES OF WEAPONS USED COMMONLY IN FLIGHT  
SIMS THESE ARE :AIR TO AIR,AIR TO GROUND,AIR TO SHIP AND        
SURFACE TO AIR (SAMS-NOT SAMS!).THESE GROUPS CAN CONSIST OF     
ANYTHING FROM GUIDED MISSILES TO MACHINE GUNS.ALL HAVE          
DIFFERENT CAPABILITIES AND LIMITATIONS.
THE WEAPONS THAT USUALLY APPEAR IN REALISTIC SIMS ARE :CANNON,
SHORT RANGE GUIDED MISSILES,LONG RANGE GUIDED MISSILES AND      
BOMBS.THESE USUALLY HAVE A COMPUTER AIDED DELIVERY SYSTEM EG    
BOMB SIGHT,MISSILE CUE SIGHT AND GUN TRACK SIGHT.
THE BEST EXAMPLES OF THESE WEAPONS ARE AS FOLLOWS FOR CANNON -
STEALTH FIGHTER(PREDICTIVE SIGHT),MISSILES - ELITE , AIR TO     
GROUND - FIGHTER BOMBER.
MY PERSONAL CHOICES
4) STEALTH FIGHTER  PLENTY MISSIONS AND WEAPONS

AN ARTIST WRITES:
EVER SINCE THE BYPASS OF THE FIRST LAUNCH DATE WITH NO PRODUCT
, THE SAM COUPE HAS BEEN THE INNOCENT VICTIM OF MUCH SLAGGING   
AND INSULTS.ALMOST ALL COMPUTER OWNERS (NOT INCLUDING COUPE     
OWNERS OF COURSE) HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLY RELUCTANT TO AGREE THAT  
IT IS THE BEST 8-BIT COMPUTER EVEN THOUGH THIS COULDN'T BE MORE 
OBVIOUS.
EVEN THE SLIGHTEST, TINIEST HINT OF A MENTION THAT THE  COUPE 
CAN RIVAL OR MATCH THE 16-BIT PERFORMANCES RECEIVED A     
'KNOWING LOOK' AND MORE THAN A FEW UNPLEASANT SNIGGERINGS.
WHY?! WHAT IS SO UTTERLY ABHORRENT ABOUT THIS MORE-THAN       
-COMPETANT MACHINE?
2) THE 8-BITTERS DON'T LIKE BEING REMINDED OF THEIR COMPUTER'S
RELATIVE INFERIORITY BY YET ANOTHER HIGH-QUALITY SUPERCOMPUTER.
COMBINED,THESE TWO OPINIONS FORM ONE OPINION : EVERYONE SEEMS 
TO BE AGAINST THE COUPE.WHICH IS,I'M SURE YOU'LL AGREE,EXTREMELY
ANNOYING.

AN ARTIST WRITES EVEN MORE:
TAKE,FOR EXAMPLE,DEFENDERS BY ENIGMA.THE FIRST EVER COUPE     
GAME.THIS PROVED TO BE THE MOST PLAYABLE VERSION OF ALL,JUDGING 
BY THE MAGAZINE REVIEWS.MANY 16-BIT MAGAZINES GAVE IT UNDER 50%,
OVERALL,CRASH GAVE THE COUPE VERSION 81% AND I CAN GUARANTEE    
THIS IS NOT AN OVERRATED REVIEW.
ENIGMA HAVE MANAGED TO COMBINE AMAZING GRAPHICS AND SOUND WITH
THAT ELUSIVE QUALITY:PLAYABILITY.SOMETHING MOST 16-BIT GAMES    
SEEM TO LACK.
HOPEFULLY,FUTURE COUPE GAMES WILL BE EVEN BETTER THAN THIS    
MASTERPIECE OF A GAME ( IF AT ALL POSSIBLE! )
ANOTHER FACTOR IN THE COUPE'S IMAGE(IE BAD)IS THE ADVERTISING.
USING A CARTOON FIGURE TO PROMOTE A HIGH TECH PRODUCT SUCH AS   
THE COUPE WAS A MISTAKE RIGHT FROM THE START.COMPARED TO 16-BIT 
ADS WHICH FEATURE MODERN WRITING AND FLASHY ARTWORK THIS IS JUST
A JOKE,MORE LIKELY TO ATTRACT A 7 YEAR OLD THAN A PROGRAMMER OR 
EVEN ANYBODY OVER 12!
IF YOU DISAGREE WITH THIS,DON'T THREATEN COLIN (UNLESS YOU    
REALLY WANT TO!) BUT ME ,BRIAN 'SHADES' McCONNELL,THE 'NEW      
ARTIST'.BYE!

ON THE HORIZON
SAMCO SHOULD BE BUYING THE RIGHTS TO THE COUPE BACK SOON BUT  
AS YET NOTHING IS DEFINITE.THEY ARE ALSO WORKING HARD ON THE 3  
BUTTON MOUSE FOR THE COUPE AFTER A STAGGERING AMOUNT OF THEIR   
RETURNED QUESTIONNAIRES REVEALED THAT THIS IS WHAT IS NEEDED.
AS REVEALED IN THE CES PAGES,SAMCO ARE NOW SELING THE COUPE+  
DRIVE FOR ONLY £200.WHILST THE DRIVES THEMSELVES ARE £80.FROM   
NOW ON YOU CANNOT BUY A COUPE WITHOUT A DRIVE SO MAYBE THERE'S  
A FUTURE FOR FRED YET?
APPARENTLY,SOMEONE HAS A DIGITISED SPEECH PROGRAM ON THE CARDS
FOR THE NEAR FUTURE SO WITH ANY LUCK THAT'LL BRING THE COUPE    
EVEN CLOSER TO THE AMIGA.
I WAS TALKING TO A MANAGER AT JOHN MENZIES (WHO HAVE STOCKED  
THE COUPE SINCE JUNE) AND SHE SAID THAT ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE IT   
ON SHOW THEY WON'T ACTUALLY GET ANY MORE IN STOCK UNTIL NEARER  
XMAS.STRANGE EH?
FLEXIPAGE IS ABOUT TO BE RELEASED ON THE COUPE.BASICALLY ALL  
IT IS IS A FANCY ORACLE/CEEFAX SYSTEM AND THE SPECCY VERSION    
PROVED VERY POPULAR.IT COSTS £15 FROM FLEXIBASE SOFT,           
[redacted]

HA HA,YOU'RE BEAT!!
THIS IS A ONE-OFF SECTION BASICALLY SLAGGING OFF ANOTHER      
MAGAZINE,TURBO.DON'T GET THE WRONG IDEA THOUGH,TURBO'S A GREAT  
MAG AND I KNOW ADRIAN BUT I JUST WANT FRED TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE 
ISSUE THAT'S BETTER THAN SOMEONE ELSES.APOLOGIES TO ANY OFFENCE 
CAUSED AT TURBO!
THEY HAVE PUT THE SAME TETRIS THAT WAS ON FRED3 ON ONE OF     
THEIR PUBLIC DOMAIN DISCS WHICH WE HAD OUT ALMOST TWO WEEKS     
BEFORE THAT.(ALTHOUGH THERE IS A GOOD PROGRAM OR TWO ON IT-OH   
I'VE JUST REMEMBERED,I DID THEM.THAT EXPLAINS IT.)
THEY HAVE ONLY JUST MANAGED TO REVIEW SC_ASSEMBLER ( REVIEWED 
IN FRED2!) BUT I MUST ADMIT THEY DID HAVE A MIND GAMES REVIEW   
THAT I DIDN'T (OH WELL,BETTER LATE THAN NEVER!)
TURBO CLAIMED TO HAVE AN INTERVIEW WITH DAVE TONKS BUT DAVE   
ACTUALLY ONLY SENT OUT STANDARD LETTERS TO ALL THE 'ZINES AND   
AGAIN,I GOT MINE OUT FIRST (HA HA!)
TURBO PRINTED A 2 LINE PROGRAM TO PREVENT KEY-BOUNCE.BUT AS   
USED FROM FRED1 ALL THAT IS NEEDED IS PAUSE1 !.THEY ALSO PRINTED
A 3 LINER TO LOAD YOUR FONTS INTO BASIC, WELL LOAD 'FILENAME'   
CODE 20880,1096 DOES THE TRICK!

STUCK-ON-A-GAME?
THIS SECTION WAS INCLUDED IN RESPONCE TO NOBODY'S REQUESTS SO 
YOU'D BETTER SAY YOU WANT IT AGAIN.
FIRST OFF IS AN EXCLUSIVE TIP FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO BOUGHT     
ZENITH'S EDITION ONE.ON THE UNDERWATER ADVENTURE GAME SIMPLY    
PRESS ALL THE KEYS ALONG THE TOP ROW (QWERTYUIOP) AT ONCE AND   
YOU SHOULD BE REWARDED WITH INFINITE AIR.
IN FRED2 I SAID THAT THE GUNS ON DEFENDERS WERE POINTLESS BUT 
SINCE THEN I'VE DISCOVERED THAT THEY DO SPEED UP YOUR GUN.SORRY.

IN NUCLEAR WASTE ON MIND GAMES 1 THE BEST WAY TO COMPLETE THE 
BONUS LEVEL IS TO ONLY LOOK AT THE SECOND HOLE/PUMP AND JUST    
ALTER THE PUMPS TO GO DOWN IMMEDIATLY AFTER ONE HAS PAST AND    
JUST BEFORE IT ARRIVES.
REMEMBER TO SHARE ALL YOUR TIPS WITH OTHER FRED READERS BY    
SENDING THEM TO ME AT THE USUAL ADDRESS.
NEXT MONTH I SHOULD HAVE DONE A COUPLE OF PROGRAMS WHICH ALLOW
YOU TO ALTER YOUR LIVES,SCORE,LEVEL ETC ON ANY OF THE GAMES FROM
ENIGMA'S MIND GAMES 1

LETTERS
I'VE HAD SUCH A GOOD RESPONSE TO FRED3 THAT I THOUGHT I'D SHOW
OFF SOME OF THE COMPLIMENTS.THANKS TO ALL WHO WROTE.
DAVE AND I THINK THAT THIS LATEST ISSUE IS THE BEST YOU HAVE  
DONE YET,WE WILL REVIEW IT IN OUR NEXT ISSUE,THANKS BY THE WAY  
FOR THE PLUG.IF YOU KEEP UP THIS STANDARD WE AND OUTLET WILL    
HAVE TO LOOK TO OUR LAURELS,KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.              
  BRIAN MUMFORD (AND DAVE TONKS !!!)
YOU SAID YOU HAD CHANGED SLIGHTLY,WE DIDN'T EXPECT WHAT WE    
GOT! ALL WE CAN SAY IS EXCELLANT AND FOR FREE! YOU REALLY HAVE  
CHANGED FOR THE BETTER.    ZENITH!!
I REALLY QUITE LIKED IT.ESPECIALLY THE TETRIS GAME AND THE    
GRAPHICAL LOGO   MARK GREENSHIELDS OF ENIGMA!!!
OK,SO HE DIDN'T GO AS FAR AS SENDING A LETTER SAYING THAT BUT 
 HE DID SAY IT WHEN I PHONED!
WHILE I'M ON THE SUBJECT OF ENIGMA (AND BECAUSE I'VE NO MORE  
COMPLIMENTS,SNIFF) I THOUGHT I'D MENTION THAT ENIGMA WILL BE    
DISTRIBUTING THEIR BI-MONTHLY MAILSHOT IN APPROX 2 WEEKS TO     
THEIR SOFTWARE CLUB MEMBERS.

BLACK IF NO KEYS ARE PRESSED ON THE COUPE FOR 22 MINUTES.SO,IN  
ORDER TO STOP THIS TYPE  POKE 23090,1
FOR AS LONG AS I'VE HAD MY COUPE I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE   
OUT HOW TO DISABLE THE BREAK BUTTON.WELL,THE DOUBLE POKE        
FOLLOWING WILL MAKE THE COUPE CRASH IF PRESSED SO IT'S ALMOST AS
GOOD. DPOKE 23264,0  .IF YOU NEED THE BUTTON THEN ON ERROR

Reviews

NEXT MONTH - FRED5
NEXT MONTH IT SHOULD BE MACCY AND SHADES (IE IAN & BRIAN) 'COS
I'M OFF ON HOLIDAY FOR TEN DAYS HA HA! BUT BEFORE YOU CANCEL    
YOUR SUB-I'VE ALREADY GOT TOGETHER A LOT OF THE STUFF FOR FRED5 
SO YOU CAN BE SURE THAT IT'LL STILL BE JUST AS GOOD.
FOR STARTERS I HAVE LINED UP SOME SCREENSHOTS OF THE BRILLIANT
'SPHERA'!.I HAVE JUST FINISHED TYPING IN (AND I MEAN JUST!) A   
PROGRAM WHICH LETS YOU ALTER ANYTHING ON MIND GAMES 1 -LIVES,   
LEVEL,TIME,SCORE ETC!
ANOTHER OF MY MASTERPIECES - THIS TIME IT'S AN EXTREMELY      
USEFUL DATABASE.
SHADES WILL BE SHOWING OFF YET MORE OF HIS LATEST CREATIONS - 
IF I CAN FIT THEM ON (HEH HEH!)
I'VE BEEN PROMISED STUFF FROM A HOMEGROWN SOFTWARE HOUSE -    
INTEGRATED LOGIC.SO SOME OF THAT SHOULD BE ON.
BY THE WAY OF FREVIEWS I HOPE TO HAVE - KOBRAH'S TAPE TO TAPE 
BACKUP,FAMOUS FIVE,FOOTBALL DIRECTOR 2 AS WELL AS ALL THE LAST  
MINUTE ONES!(NORMALLY MOST OF THEM!)

STOP PRESS
I SPOKE TO ENIGMA AND WE HAPPENED TO COME ONTO THE SUBJECT    
OF THE ARTICLE IN NCE ABOUT SAMCO BUYING BACK THE COUPE UNDER   
THE NAME OF SUPER SPECTRUM.APPARENTLY THIS ARTICLE IS A LOT OF  
RUBBISH AND SHOULD BE IGNORED.SAMCO WILL STILL BE SELLING THE   
COUPE ALTHOUGH,OBVIOUSLY NOT UNDER THE NAME OF SUPERSPECTRUM.
UNFORTUNATLY EDITION 2 DID NOT ARRIVE IN TIME FOR REVIEW DUE  
TO ZENITH'S PROBLEMS WITH THE OLD ROM (IE. IT NOT BEING         
DELIVERED IN TIME) SO IT WILL HAVE TO BE DELAYED UNTIL FRED5.   
MEANWHILE,ENJOY THE HUNCHY DEMO WHICH WAS TAKEN FROM IT.
AS YOU WILL SEE IF YOU 'DIR' THIS DISC,I HAVN'T GOT A LOT OF  
SPACE LEFT!!!.AS FAR AS I KNOW,I AM THE ONLY MAGAZINE TO USE UP 
ALL 780K ON A COUPE DISC!!! BUT WHEN I'VE GOT OVER 40 FILES ON  
THIS DISC IT WOULD BE HARD NOT TO USE UP ALL THE MEMORY
ANOTHER THING THAT DID NOT ARRIVE IN TIME WAS THE DISCS FROM  
CONTACT.ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT I HOPE THEY ARRIVE IN TIME FOR    
 FRED5 AND MEANTIME THERE IS AN ADVERT FOR THEM OVER THE PAGE...

CD2 TAPE TO DISC UTILITY , KOBRAHSOFT - £10.95 ON DISC
THERE CERTAINLY MUST BE A MARKET FOR ALL THESE BACKUP         
UTILITIES BECAUSE TIS IS THE FOURTH I'VE SEEN! BUT THIS ONE IS  
ONE STEP ABOVE - WHILE MGT WERE STILL IN EXISTANCE THEY HAD     
OFFICIALLY ENDORSED JUST THIS VERSION!
WHEN YOU HAVE LOADED UP THE SPECCY ROM(OBVIOUSLY NOT PROVIDED)
AND THE PROGRAM HAS SORTED ITSELF OUT YOU ARE PRESENTED WITH    
THE MAIN MENU FROM WHICH YOU OPERATE THE WHOLE PROGRAM.
AFTER SELECTING 'BECOME A SPECTRUM' AND LOADING UP THE GAME   
(CASSETTE'S SUCH A DRAG EH?) PRESSING THE BREAK (NMI) BUTTON    
MAKES THE BORDER FLASH AND FROM HERE YOU CAN SAVE THE GAME TO   
DISC,SAVE THE SCREENSHOT OR CONTINUE WITH THE GAME.
ALL THE FILES ARE SAVED UNDER A STANDARD NAME WHICH MEANS LESS
HASSLE WHILE SAVEING AND THEN WHEN YOU'VE HAD A FEW MICROSECONDS
TO THINK IT OVER AND REACCESSED THE MENU YOU SIMPLY RENAME THE  
FILENAME TO SUIT YOUR PURPOSES.
ONCE SAVED,EACH FILE CAN BE LOADED STRIAGHT FROM COUPE BASIC  
OR THROUGH THE MAIN MENU.

I FOUND THAT CD2 WORKED ON JUST OVER 90% OF MY GAMES-TOPPING  
LERM'S SAMTAPE AND ALSO THE BACK-UPS WERE MORE RELIABLE FOR SOME
REASON (UNLESS IT WAS JUST COINCIDENCE!).
ANOTHER GREAT ADVANTAGE TO ME WAS THAT SCREENSHOTS COULD BE   
SAVED OUT WHICH IS VERY HANDY.THE ONLY FAULT WITH IT ALTHOUGH   
IT'S NOT REALLY A PROBLEM IS THAT YOU CAN'T SAVE OUT TO A       
SECOND DRIVE (EVEN IF YOU'VE GOT ONE!)
ALTOGETHER,CD2 IS BY FAR AND AWAY THE SIMPLEST AND MOST       
EFFECTIVE SPECTRUM EMULATOR ON THE MARKET-YOU SIMPLY CANNOT GO  
WRONG! BUT INCLUDING ALL THE EXTRAS - SCREENSHOTS AND THAT IT   
IS POSSIBLE TO LOAD YOUR SNAPSHOTS YOU'VE MADE IN THE PAST.
CD2 HAS BEEN TESTED ON ALL VERSIONS OF ROM AND WILL RUN ON A  
256K OR 512K MACHINE.
SIMPLENESS:96%
IF YOU'VE GOT GAMES THAT JUST WON'T BACK-UP THEN GET          
THIS FROM KOBRAHSOFT,[redacted]
WORTH GETTING EVEN IF YOU DO ALREADY HAVE ANOTHER ONE!

MULTI PACK 1 - ENIGMA , £12.99
I'VE HAD TWO SMALL REVIEWS/COMMENTS ON THIS ONE SO I THOUGHT I
WOULD JUST PUT BOTH OF THEM IN,ALONG WITH MY COMMENT AT THE END.
THE FIRST IS FROM JOHN CALLUS IN MALTA(WHO ALSO WROTE THE CES   
ARTICLE).SO A BIG THANKS AGAIN TO JOHN...
MULTI-PACK 1 HAS TWO GAMES ON IT,THE FIRST BEING SAM SRTIKES  
OUT. HELP SAM COLLECT ENOUGH ENERGY PODS SO THAT HE CAN ESCAPE  
THE CRAZY WORLD HE HAS FOUND HIMSELF IN.THERE ARE VARIOUS ITEMS 
THAT YOU CAN COLLECT ALONG THE WAY THAT WILL HELP SAM.YOU CAN   
FIND BIG JUMPS,SHIELDS FOR INVINCIBILITY,KEYS TO OPEN DOORS AND 
CUSHIONS TO MAKE FOR A GENTLE LANDING WHEN SAM HAS TO FALL A    
LARGE DISTANCE.
THIS IS A PLATFORM GAME AND IS VERY INTERESTING WITH GREAT    
GRAPHICS BUT ALTHOUGH THE MUSIC IS GOOD IT'S A BIT MONOTONOUS.
THIS IS A COMMENT ON FUTURE BALL FROM D.MAILE (THANK YOU      
'SIR'!)(YOU PENGUIN!)-SORRY,PRIVATE JOKE.
THE AIM OF THE GAME IS TO COMPLETE 4 SECTIONS OR DISCIPLINES  
AS THE INSTRUCTIONS SAY WHICH ARE:CONTROL OR DIE,FACE TO FACE   
WITH FEAR,SKILL SHOT ALLEY AND CIRCLE OF DEATH.IF BY CHANCE YOU 
HAPPEN TO COMPLETE ALL 4 (NOT LIKELY) THEN YOU GET ONTO THE     
TOTAL CHALLENGE.
THE GRAPHICS ARE GOOD AS WITH SSO AND THE TUNE IS NICE BUT    
THIS GAME LACKS CERTAIN QUALITIES.THE MAIN PROBLEM BEING IT'S   
IMPOSSIBLE (NOT FOR A FREDITOR!) AND IT'S TENDANCY TO BUG UP    
AFTER A FEW GOES(WHAT!-ED).I HAVN'T PLAYED TOTAL CHALLENGE 
YET  BUT I DOUBT IF ANYONE COULD (I DARE YOU TO BEAT IT)

OVERALL:45%.NOT PLAYABLE BUT NICE.
GRAPHIX    :95%
THAT'S MY OVERALL MARKS FOR THE WHOLE PACKAGE.I WOULD         
RECOMMEND IT TO THE AVERAGE GAME PLAYER AND DEFINETLY           
TO PLATFORM ADDICTS.ADDRESS ON MIND GAMES REVIEW.

MIND GAMES 1,ENIGMA - £12.50    coupé
FIRST OF ALL,I'D BETTER SAY TO ALL YOU READERS WHO FANCY      
YOURSELVES AS GUNSLINGIN',BLASTIN' MUTHAS FROM HELL,A BIG 'ERM, 
SORRY,THIS ISN'T THE ONE FOR YOU'.IF YOU LIKED TETRIS LAST      
MONTH THEN THIS IS POSSIBLY MORE YOUR TYPE OF GAME.
MIND GAMES 1 IS A COMPILATION OF FOUR MIND GAMES(NEVER!).THE  
FIRST GAME FROM THE MENU IS 'BOMBED OUT'.IN THIS YOU MUST HOP   
AROUND A COLOURFUL BOARD TO REACH A BOMB (BOMB SHAPED,SPOOKILY  
ENOUGH!).SOME SQUARES CONTAIN A SKULL AND ARE TO BE AVOIDED.EACH
SCREEN IS COMPLETED WHEN FIVE BOMBS ARE COLLECTED.NOW,THIS MAY  
SOUND EASY,BUT WHEN YOU CONSIDER THAT ALL THE SQUARES YOU HOP ON
DISSAPEARS, THEN IT BECOMES HARD(FNAR!)
SECOND UP IS THE BEST GAME GRAPHICALLY AND ALSO THE MOST      
DIFFICULT,'NUCLEAR WASTE'.TO SAY THE FIRST LEVEL IS EASY WOULD  
BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT BUT LEVEL FIVE IS WELL NIGH IMPOSSIBLE.    
WHAT? YOU WANT ME TO DESCRIBE THE GAME? OH.ALL RIGHT THEN.A     
SMALL CANISTER ROLLS TOWARDS ONE OF FOUR LIFTS AND YOU MUST MOVE
THE LITTLE GREEN LIGHT TO THE CORRECT LIFT OR THE CANISTER      
(CONTAINING NUCLEAR WASTE OF COURSE) WILL BURST AND TURN...PTO

EVERYONE INTO PURPLE CABBAGES (OR SOMETHING).ANYWAY AS SAID   
BEFORE THIS STARTS OFF A DODDLE AND HARDER,THEN HARDER UNTIL    
IT'S EXTREMELY HARD(NOTE:NO FNAR)
PENULTIMATELY(POSH FOR SECOND LAST) YOU HAVE (OR RATHER,WILL  
HAVE!) MY PERSONAL FAVE,'MAGIC CAVES'.YOU ARE A LITTLE BALL     
WHICH MUST ROLL AROUND IN A SERIES OF PLATFORMS AND LIFTS TRYING
TO COLLECTS KEYS IN SUCH A WAY THAT WILL ALLOW YOU TO COLLECT A 
POTION,AND THAT'S BASICALLY IT.EXCEPT THAT IF YOU COLLECT       
CERTAIN KEYS THEY MAKE THE LEVEL IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPLETE.
LASTLY,'FINALEMENT' ETC WE HAVE THE DISTINCTLY LAST GAME ON   
THIS COLLECTION.CALLED 'BLOKADE'(YES,NO 'C'!)IT INVOLVES YOU    
TRYING TO TURN ALL THE SQUARES TO A SELECTED COLOUR,BY          
SURROUNDING IT BY FOUR SQUARES OF THE SAME COLOUR.YOU MAY       
REMEMBER AN OLD SPECTRUM GAME CALLED 'ZYNAPS' WELL,THIS IS      
NOTHING LIKE IT IN THE LEAST.SORRY I COULDN'T HELP IT.ACTUALLY  
THIS IS MY LEAST FAVOURITE GAME ON THE DISC BUT THAT'S PROBALLY 
BECAUSE I'M COLOURBLIND AND DON'T HAVE A HOPE OF COMPLETING THE 
FIRST,MIND BOGGLINGLY SIMPLE LEVEL.

BUT LIFE GOES ON I 'SPOSE.OVERALL THE GRAPHICS ARE NOT UP  TO 
THE STANDARDS OF 'DEFENDERS' BUT NOT TO WORRY THEY'RE STILL     
INFINITELY MORE COLOURFUL THAN ANY SPECTRUM GAME COULD MANAGE.  
SONICALLY (SOUND! -ED) I'M AFRAID THE GAMES ARE A 
TAD LACKING   BUT I'M SURE YOU WON'T MIND BECAUSE IT MEANS YOU'L
L BE ABLE TO  LISTEN TO 'ABBA' OR WHATEVER WHILE YOU PLAY.WHAT? 
IT'S 'BUCKS   FIZZ' EVERYONE'S INTO NOW? OKAY.THANKS.
OH WELL,BEFORE I GO OFF TO PLAY WITH MYSELF (AT 'TETRIS YOU   
FILTHY PERSON) I'D LIKE TO THANK COLIN FOR LETTING ME DO MY     
FIRST (AND PROBALLY LAST) REVIEW FOR FRED.BYE FOR NOW!
BACK TO COLIN I'M AFRAID.I'LL HAVE TO TELL BRIAN THAT I DO HAV
EA PROBLEM FITTING ALL THE STUFF ONTO THE DISC WITHOUT          
 MEGA LONG REVIEWS (EVEN THOUGH IT WAS GOOD).

GAME EXTRA   (BY DATON) , OUTLET - £5
NOT AGAIN!I ALWAYS SEEM TO SUPPORT OTHER MAGS BUT NEVER MIND, 
THAT'S THE WHOLE IDEA BEHIND FRED BUT ANYWAY...
THIS IS ANOTHER COMPILATION FROM THE NOW FAMED DAVE TONKS.AS  
MENTIONED IN FRED3 HE SOLD 8 OF HIS GAMES TO OUTLET AND HERE'S  
THREE OF THEM IN ONE PACK.
THE FIRST GAME,MIX'NMATCH IS A COLOUFUL VERSION OF THE CARD   
GAME PAIRS -YOU KNOW YOU HAD TO PICK THE TWO CARDS THAT MATCHED.
YES,THAT'S RIGHT YOU'VE GOT TO USE YOUR NODDLE FOR THIS ONE.
IT'S QUITE GOOD WITH BONUSES AND SOME MIX'S THROWN IN AND     
EXTREMLEY COMPELLING-I STILL CAN'T SCORE LESS THAN 15.
NEXT IS COLORCLASH WHICH IS VISUALLY THE BEST.IN THIS YOU HAVE
TO CONTROL A SMALL ROBOT AND PUSH DIFFERENT COLOURED BLOCKS     
TOGETHER IN FOURS.AGAIN,VERY ADDICTIVE AND NEEDS A LOT OF BRAIN 
WORK AND CAN GET FRUSTRATING AFTER LEVEL 6 OR SO.

LASTLY IS MY PERSONAL FAVOUITE-COMPUTER PATIENCE.THIS IS A    
BRILLAINTLY PROGRAMED VERSION OF THE CARD GAME WHICH KEPT YOU   
COMING BACK.IT USES A WIMP STYLE SYSTEM (POINTER AND WINDOWS)   
FOR CONTROL.THIS VERSION LETS YOU DO EVERTHING YOU NEED TO WITH 
THE GREATEST OF EASE (ON A FLYING TRAPEZE???)
PERHAPS YOU'LL UNDERSTAND BETTER IF YOU LOOK AT THE SCREENSHOT
ON THE NEXT PAGE BUT BELEIVE ME THIS IS ONE CLEVER PROGRAM.
IF YOU LIKED MIND GAMES THEN THIS IS FOR YOU OTHERWISE I DON'T
THINK IT WOULD BE YOUR 'CUP OF TEA'.THIS A REAL                 
BARGAIN FOR ONLY A FIVER SO CHECK IT OUT!
OVERALL:70%  - MUCH THE SAME AS MIND GAMES 1

FASTLINE PD  -  £2
FASTLINE,RUN BY SIMON SCOTT WAS ABOUT THE FIRST PD LIBRARY FOR
THE COUPE THAT I KNEW OF.PREVIOUSLY,SIMON RAN ONE FOR THE       
SPECTRUM BUT ,AS WE ALL DID,HE SAW THE OBVIOUS ADVANTAGES IN    
THE COUPE SO CHANGED HIS LINE.
AT PRESENT THERE ARE FIVE DISCS AVAILABLE,EACH FOR £2.FOR YOUR
TWO QUID YOU ARE GUARANTEED EIGHT PROGRAMS AT LEAST,NORMALLY    
MORE.THE ONLY EXCEPTION IS DISC 4 WHICH IS THE FASTLINE         
SLIDESHOW.THIS CONTAINS ABOUT THIRTY GREAT PICTURES,SOME        
DIGITISED SOME JUST PLAIN BRILLIANT SO IF YOU DO ORDER FROM     
FASTLINE,THIS DISC HAS TO BE ONE OF YOUR CHOICES.
DISC 5 (IT'S GREAT TO JUMP ABOUT AND CONFUSE EVERYBODY ISN'T  
IT?) IS MOSTLY STUFF FROM ZENITH.IT HAS ALL THE STUFF FROM THEM 
I'VE PUT IN THIS ISSUE AND LAST PLUS A BIT MORE.IT ALSO HAS     
ANOTHER USEFUL SPECTRUM EMULATOR BY DAVE STEWART.
DISC 3 IS ONE OF THE BEST,AH! I'VE JUST REMEMBERED,TWO OF THE 
PROGRAMS FROM FRED2 ARE ON IT! BUT APART FROM THESE WORKS OF ART
THERE IS ALSO A SLIDESHOW(THERE SEEMS TO BE ONE ON EVERY DISC!)

BETWEEN THE OTHER TWO THERE IS MORE SLIDESHOWS,AN ULTIMATE    
UTILITY(!),A USEFUL MEMORY AND DISC EXAMINER,A FAIRLY SIMPLE    
VERSION OF CONNECT FOUR,A SHOW OFF PROGRAM(!) AS WELL AS LOADS  
OF NEW FONTS AND ALL THE USUAL SILLY SHAPE PROGRAMS.
ALL IN ALL,FASTLINE HAS A VERY VARIED SELECTION OF PROGRAMS SO
YOU CAN BE SURE HE'LL HAVE SOMETHING YOU'LL LIKE.ALTHOUGH £2 IS 
A BIT ON THE STEEP SIDE YOU WILL ALWAYS GET AT LEAST 8 PROGRAMS 
AS WELL AS 24 HOUR DELIVERY.ALL DISCS ARE FULLY TESTED BEFORE   
GOING OUT.
I WOULD RECOMMEND YOU AT LEAST SEND AN SSAE DOWN FOR          
MORE INFO (I TOLD HIM HE COULD USE THE STUFF ON FRED3           
SO HE'S PROBALLY UP TO ABOUT 7 DISCS BY NOW) JUST TO            
SEE WHAT HE'S OFFERING.

TURBO PD  - £2-£2.50
I HAVE ALREADY SLAGGED UP TURBO SO NOW I'LL PRAISE THEM       
BECAUSE NOT ONLY WERE THEY THE FIRST COUPE SPECIFIC MAG THEY    
WERE ALSO THE FIRST TO START UP A PD LIBRARY AND IN THEIR TIME  
THEY'VE COLLECTED A FEW GOODIES.
ONE OF THE EDITORS,ADRIAN BETTS WRITES GAMES FOR THE LIBRARY  
UNDER THE NAME OF KWAZY SOFT(!) AND UNLIKE MOST PDS A FAIR BIT  
OF THE PROGRAMS ARE HIS.DISC 1 IS FOR SOME REASON £2.50 BUT THE 
OTHER 4 ARE ONLY £2.DISC 1 IS BASICALLY 4 SIMPLE BUT NOT 
BAD    GAMES INCLUDING THE COUPE VERSIONS OF BOMBER(NOT FIGHTER 
       BOMBER!) AND SNAKE.TWO FONTS HAVE BEEN PUT IT FOR YOUR OW
N USE.
DISC 2 HAS TWO CARD GAMES BY KWAZY SOFT AS WELL AS A SPECTRUM 
GAME WHICH NEEDS A SPECCY EMULATOR TO RUN IT!AS WELL AS A BANNER
MAKER UTILITY SENT IN AND YET ANOTHER OF THOSE MANDLEBROTS.
NOW,WITH DISC 3 WE'RE GETTING INTO THE TIME WHEN TURBO SWAPPED
PROGRAMS WITH CONTACT AND HAVE PUT ON A SPACE CIRCLE PROGRAM    
(ORIGINALLY IN YS!) AND TWO FANCY GRAPHIC ROUTINES(CONTACT).    
AGAIN KWAZY SOFT MAKES A BRIEF APPEARANCE WITH HIS VERSION OF   
SOLITAIRE-BIP(!) ALONG WITH TWO PICCYS.

AGAIN TWO OF CONTACT'S PROGRAMS MAKE AN APPEARANCE-A HOLE AND 
WIPE DEMO WHICH ARE PRETTY IMPRESSIVE FOR THEIR SIZE.THREE MORE 
PICCYS ARE INCLUDED - THE SIGOURNEY WEAVER,BUGS BUNNY AND THE   
GUY OFF OF MY ADVERT (THE 'HARD MAN').KWAZY PUTS IN A (PRETTY   
CRAP) VERSION OF THE SPECCY HIT COOKIE AS WELL AS A REFERANCE   
PROGRAM AND A CLEVER WORD SLOPE.
DISC 6 CONTAINS THE TETRIS THAT I PUT IN FRED3 SO THIS IS     
POSSIBLY THE BEST DISC FOR NON-FRED READERS.ALTHOUGH THIS DISC  
I HAVEN'T GOT IT HAS FIVE PICTURES (ONE IS 'MARY'),A BIORYTHMS  
PROGRAM WHICH COULD BE QUITE GOOD AND A DISC UTILITY WHICH      
DOESN'T SEEM TO DO MUCH SPECIAL JUST MAKES THINGS EASIER.
THERE'S SOME PRETTY GOOD STUFF HERE BUT I WOULD               
RECOMMEND DISCS 3 & 4.STILL FAIRLY PRICEY BUT WORTH A           
LOOK IF YOU'RE NEEDING SOME NEW PROGRAMS.
WRITE TO TURBO PD (NOT THE MAG!!!) AT :[redacted].
DISCS 6 & 7 SHOULD BE OUT BY THE TIME YOU READ THIS.
