Monopoly is still one of the best selling board games around - and it has
proved to be a winner when converted to a computer game too. Micropoly is
based on that well known board game and includes all the features you'd
expect to find in the real thing.

When you start the game, you must enter the number of players. The computer
handles the banker's job and knows how much money each player holds, how
much property each player owns, the moving of counters, rents, houses,
hotels, jail routines, Chance and Community Chest, etc.

All this leaves each player free to worry about when to buy and sell or
when to build the next hotel on Mayfair. Are you cunning enough to become a
millionaire? The challenge awaits ...


Special notes:
When entering an order, it is only necessary to type in what you require.
There is no need to type in CR, ENTER, etc. For example: AI=Angel lslington,
500=500, KX=Kings Cross, WW=Water Works, and so on. All properties are
referred to by their initial letters.

When properties are auctioned, the computer will only accept bids greater
than 50 percent of the original purchase price.

When buying or selling property houses or hotels for properties, three
options are available. Y/N - puts house on a single property if confirmed
as Y. A - accepts house on single property with option of another. S - puts
houses on all properties in set.

Players are distinguished by colour: 1=blue, 2=red. 3=magenta, 4=green.

The computer will not allow houses or hotels to be built on properties
unless a complete set is owned by one player and none of the properties is
mortgaged. just as in the board game.

CV8405-Tower-P58.TAP
by Adam Lockwood & Neil Dunbar

Let C&VG take you back through time to a place where witchcraft and magic
still exist and rule the life of all the inhabitants of the mysterious
Tower.

The Tower is a graphical adventure game set in a warrng forest kingdom. Two
kings and their trusted wizards are battling against one another to gain
control of the land and the legendary magic Tower.

Magical and ferocious beasts lurk in the forest's leafy depths. Orcs, elves
and dragons are plentiful and though some are willing to share their magic
secrets with you, most are only too eager to use it against you, so you
must keep your wits about you.

Plunged into a totally different world, you are armed only with simple
weapons and your wit and cunning, so overcoming the dark forces will be a
difficult if not impossible task to complete.

The Tower runs on a 48k Spectrum only and uses the keyboard for controlling
the characters.
