ALIENS (Alien Defence)
by Darren Frampton
from Sinclair User #7 (October 1982)

Alien Defence is a traditional but still enjoyable Defenders game for
the 16K Spectrum. You have a Laser Base, movable with keys 5 and 8, and
you nail the descending alien hordes with key 7. Allow more than a
limited number to pass, depending on the level of difficulty you have
selected, and the game is over. Stopping them is made more difficult by
their randomised movements and changes of colour. A Hi-Score routine is
included to sharpen the competitive element. Submitted by D Frampton of
Bridgwater, Somerset.

CHARACTER GENERATOR
by M Thurston
from Sinclair User #7 (October 1982)

Typing in long lists of binary numbers to obtain user-definable graphics
can be very interesting. Here is a program to make it easy.

Character Generator, by M Thurston of Gorton, Manchester, draws the
character on the screen as you define it. The process of defining the 64
pixels is the same but they can be entered into memory without having to
worry about all those POKE instructions.

After you have defined the character, you can store it.

MISSILE
by Bruce Smith
from Sinclair User #7 (October 1982)

Addiction is the name of the game with Missile, from Bruce Smith of
Kidderminster. The game is for the Spectrum and you might try all day to
guide your missile into the path of the enemy aircraft at the top of the
screen.

The aircraft is so small that it takes a good deal of patience and
cunning to direct your missile at it successfully. You must use key 5
for the left and 8 for the right. The character used in line 60 for the
aircraft is a graphic P.
