MONSTER MANSION
---------------

This month our intrepid hero, Benjamin Rabbit, has taken up a new job.
Babysitting. Heroic enough at any time but, to make it more difficult, he is
babysitting for a baby ghost in Monster Mansion. Of course, these ghosts just
will not keep still, and Benjamin must set off through the mansion in search
of his young charge.

Dodge the giant spiders, the skeletons and the creepy skulls, to survive the
night in Monster Mansion, written for the 48K Spectrum or Spectrum Plus by T
Sherwood of West Bromwich, West Midlands.

MOON BUGGY

Drive your buggy over the surface of the Moon. Collect as many jewels
as possible by running them over. Avoid the craters by jumping over
them, and avoid flying meteors by remaining at ground level as they
pass overhead. Moon Buggy was written for the Spectrum or Spectrum
Plus by Neil Cooper of Saltburn, Cleveland.

SERVE ME!

When you took your job as a bartender, you did not know that this was
the bar where the local Mafia meet. Now you face problems from both
sides of the bar. If you do not collect glasses before they slide to
the floor and break, you will be sacked. If you keep your customers
waiting to be served for so long that they reach you, they will kill
you! Serve Me! was written for the Spectrum or Spectrum Plus by Neil
Bates of Coventry.

Explosions, celebrations, congratulations.  All occasions when your programs
need livening up with a special routine.  Try White Noise, written for the

the program to produce an exploding border and and metallic shriek.
