by David Shaw
from Sinclair User 30 (September 1984)

Emulate Rocky Marciano in Boxing, for the 48K Spectrum, by David Shaw of
Barnsley, Yorkshire. You must complete a series of qualifying fights to
become the undisputed world champion. Cursor keys 5 and 8 will move the
boxer left and right, while keys 6 and 7 raise and lower his guard. When
the guard is up, press key 1 to punch, but key 2 when the guard is down.

WHAT'S THE TIME (Tell the Time)
by W.D. Owen
from Sinclair User 30 (September 1984)

Tell The Time, from W.D. Owen of Wrexham, Clwyd, is an educational
program for younger children, to teach them to tell the time. The screen
displays a large clock face and then draws the hands at different
positions. You have to say what time it is, entering the minutes first
and then the hour.

The program, for the 16K Spectrum, uses special graphics instructions.
For an explanation of how to enter these please read the instructions at
the beginning of Program Printout before attempting to type in the
program.

STRETCH (Spectrum)
by Richard Greenwell
from Sinclair User 30 (September 1984)

RICHARD GREENWELL of Normanby, near Middlesborough, has written a useful
little program to provide some fancy lettering on the Spectrum. Stretch, for
the 16K Spectrum, will print messages on the screen in 3D perspective,
stretching the letters more and more as the message continues. The program
will also work with user-defined graphics, and thus could be used to create
quite elaborate title screens.

ESCAPE (16K ZX-81)
from Sinclair User 30 (September 1984), pages 71-72

In Escape, for the ZX-81 16K, you have been wrongly convicted and imprisoned
on an intergalactic prison planet. In order to escape, you must first dodge
the guard to steal a fuel container to power your space pack. Then you must
blast off with your space pack through the outer zone which is patrolled by
two spaceships. The game is controlled by using the cursor keys. Escape was
written by Jonathan Moakes of Ambleside, Cumbria.

PYRAMID
by David Bradley
from Sinclair User 30 (September 1984)

Pyramid for the 48K Spectrum is based on the successful Q-Bert game
where you have to paint in the blocks of the pyramid while avoiding the
creatures which chase you. Our version by David Bradley of Manchester
starts at a relaxed pace, but by the time you reach the highest levels
you will have to contend with the vicious snake and learn how to use the
lifts. Pyramid uses sophisticated graphics, so please read the instructions
at the beginning of Program Printout.

CAVE OF DOOM
by Stephen Owen
from Sinclair User 30 (September 1984)

Cave of Doom for the 16K ZX-81 has much in common with the arcade
favourite Skramble. You must pilot your spaceship through a cavern,
dodging the enemy mines, until you reach your own city. It was written
by Stephen Owen of Hatfield, Hertfordshire and uses a machine code
routine to speed the action.

You must first enter Listing 1, making sure there are 46 characters in
the REM statement. RUN the program and INPUT the values in Listing 2,
one at a time, reading from left to right. It would be wise to save the
program at that stage in case of error. Then delete lines 10 to 50 from
the program leaving you with a REM statement, which should then contain
a jumble of characters and control words. Enter Listing 3, of which the
REM statement will form the first line, and RUN in the usual way to play
the game. [You actually have to RUN 7000 to get the opening titles.  JimG]

BLAKE'S SEVEN (Ice Diamonds)
by Jason Glover
from Sinclair User 30 (September 1984)

You are the captain of the spaceship Liberator and it is your mission to
steal the ice diamonds from the evil Federation. The game runs on the 48K
Spectrum and was written by Jason Glover of Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire.
Glover clearly is a great science fiction enthusiast, and his game
requires quick reactions and an eye on the whole screen. There are five
planetary systems to explore and action on the ground as well as in space.

The game uses special graphics characters. Please read the first page of
Program Printout before typing in the listing, where you will find the
necessary instructions.
