Five star review in HCW, but a very difficult game to play. You race against five cars, and a 'ghost car' which rapidly travel towards you... and you have to move out of the way. Watch your engine temperature, fuel, speed and time left. If you manage to win the race, please write and tell me.
BOWLS. TI BASIC. A.McMath.
Read the Review
GBP 6.00 Five Star Review.
From the author of the very popular GOLF program, another sporting simulation, for two players or for one player vs the computer.
You may select for winner to be first to a certain score, or highest score after a certain number of 'ends'.
80% playability, 100% value for money.
In play, you select throwing position, direction, strength, bias and direction- then watch. You may block your opponent or knock his bowls into the gutter. The computer plays well but with care it can be beaten.
GALACTIC ENCOUNTER plus CHECKERS.
TI BASIC.
GBP 6.00 By Malcolm Adams Read the Review
HCW Reviewer awarded 90% for playability, graphics AND value!!!!! Galactic Encounter is a modern version of the board game REVERSI (also sold, with very slight modiifcation, as OTHELLO(tm).).
This program is presented for one OR two players and uses animated playing pieces! The computer plays quite well.
CHECKERS is a form of the peg hopping solitaire puzzle, based upon a square board. I don't know what the best solution is: I'd like to hear of your best solution!!

SAVE A SKETCH. EXTENDED BASIC
GBP 5.00 REQUIRES 32k RAM EXPANSION.
This little program allows you to draw a hi res picture on the screen by moving a small sprite around the screen, using 8 direction keys.
Ink on, Ink off, and Erase are available. Not fast but it can be impressive. Then... at your request the computer can REWRITE the program. Next time you run it- your picture appears pretty quickly, and you can edit it into any program you wish!

NOT a game. This program enables you to control the screen display and create a data file. Can be used for titles on video tapes or in a shop window...where a constantly changing display can tell the world about your products.
Files may be tape or disk, but disk recommended. May also be used 'live' without storing the data.
HCW gave 95% for ease of use.

NIGHT FLIGHT. TI BASIC.
GBP 5.00 By Patrick Strassen

You have seen lots of programs no doubt in which you have to bomb buildings to land a plane. Well here is another: but this one is the best.
You have to contend with an increasing number of ground defences, and if that isn't enough there is also an alien plane out to get you. Level the city to provide a landing site, before you run out of fuel. Then there is a short second screen in which you must refuel
HCW gave 90% for graphics and value.
ALPHA T'OMEGA. EXTENDED BASIC.
A. Walker. GBP 6.00
Another board game, for two players. Based on the several word forming board and card games. From a small selection of letters, form a word on the board if you can.
A selection of bonus squares may help you reach a high score. For this program a colour tv is advantageous to spot the bonus squares!
[Over seven months this program sold 9 copies].

Assist a penguin to avoid the dreaded yeti by sliding ice blocks at them.
This game is one of the difficult ones to succeed in.
Great if you like a challenge. 85% for graphics.
(Like the TI module Hopper, this was inspired by the 1982 SEGA arcade game Pengo)
