SOLITAIRE
by Ken Rylett
from Sinclair User #17 (August 1983)

Ken Rylett of Burnage, Manchester wrote Solitaire for the 16K Spectrum
to allow people to play the traditional game. Move one spot over the
next to an empty space. The peg which has been jumped will then disappear.
The aim is to finish with only one spot remaining. Moves should
be entered as number, then letter.

Letters to be entered in graphics mode are underlined.

ROLE REVERSAL
by David Gibbs
from Sinclair User #17 (August 1983)

Enthusiastic Sinclair programmers are all familiar with the experience
of being chased round the screen by more or less intelligent ghosts.
David Gibbs of Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands has provided an
opportunity for 1K ZX-81 owners to reverse their roles and chase the ghost
round the screen.

The ghost has an advantage, in that it can walk off one side of the
screen and re-appear on the other. Move using the usual cursor keys.

CEDRIC THE CLOWN
by Paul Askew
from Sinclair User #17 (August 1983)

Paul Askew of Worksop, Nottinghamshire embellished a simple mathematics
test program for children with some very professional graphics. Cedric
is a clown who likes to help children with their arithmetic. He will ask
simple sums involving addition and subtraction and will give the correct
answer if the incorrect one is input. (16K ZX-81)

TELEPHONE (16K SPECTRUM)
by Philip Meade
from Sinclair User #17 (August 1983), page 61

Philip Meade of Chippenham, Wiltshire wrote this short and simple Telephone
routine to simulate a telephone ringing on the Spectrum. The sound could be
inserted in a game or used, as it was here, to infuriate others in the office.

INVADIGITS (16K SPECTRUM)
by Peter Bernstein
from Sinclair User #17 (August 1983), page 62

Match the figure on the left with that on the right. Advance the figure
on the left by pressing "1" and press "0" when the figures are identical.
Clear a sheet of 16 figures for an increase in speed and a bonus. Clear
eight sheets for another bonus and a slightly more difficult game.

The sooner you match your numbers, the higher your score. Match a space
invader to gain an extra 300 points. The game ends when three lives are
lost or more than 30 shots are fired in one sheet.

Peter Bernstein of Northwood, Middlesex, who wrote the game for the 16K
Spectrum, says his highest score is 25,490.

STORM
by C Hornby
from Sinclair User #17 (August 1983)

[The supporting machine code listing was missed out in this issue.]
[The complete listing was printed in the November issue.          ]

You are situated at the top of the screen. Avoid the storm of black squares
rushing at you by moving left and right with keys "1" and "0". Ath the start
of the game you are asked to enter your speed and difficulty level. Entering
"5" for both produces a reasonably fast game.

C Hornby of Hassocks, Sussex speeded the game by writing part of it in
machine code.

[The listing is missing the machine code. The game was reprinted in full in
Sinclair User November 1983]

PETE THE PARTY GOER
by J Smith
from Sinclair User #17 (August 1983)

You play the part of cheerful Pete who, to bring some happiness into the
lives of his fellow party-goers, is bouncing balloons on his tennis
racquet. The others at the party have threatened that if Pete fails and
missed his balloons they will eat him. Prolong Pete's life by moving him
left and right with the keys "1" and "0".

Pete the Party-Goer was written for the 16K Spectrum by J Smith of
Coulsdon, Surrey.

DODGER
by Adam Dangoor
from Sinclair User #17 (August 1983)

Avoid the missiles flying towards you by using cursor keys "5" and "8".
Each time you avoid a batch you descend another level and the game
becomes more difficult. Adam Dangoor of Richmond, Surrey wrote Dodger
for the 16K Spectrum.

GRID RACE
by Tim Betts
from Sinclair User #17 (August 1983)

Try to trap the computer-controlled "V" which is moving down from the
top of the screen. Move your "X" using the usual cursor keys. Avoid
crashing into the walls or into the trails left by the "V" and the "X".
Grid Race was written for the 16K ZX-81 by Tim Betts of Duxford,
Cambridgeshire.
