Contents/News

My, my, my, EUG has been busy this summer! All EUG discs revamped, on all formats, compatible over all machines and all free from www.8bs.com together with almost all A&B type-ins typed and checked. Now get downloading and reviewing 'em...

Adventures

We've fresh blood boiling in all senses in the PD adventure Dracula's Castle which is equipped with a quite advanced HELP facility and now made compatible with all BBC machines including the Acorn Electron. The Scott Adams series also continues with Adventure No. 11: Savage Island Part Two.

Articles

BRAINTEASERS #9
The eternal series reaches its ninth instalment with two insultingly easy puzzles guaranteed to appeal to all village idiots.

COMPUTERS OF YESTERYEAR (MICROMART SPECIAL FEATURE)
"An extended look at the various Acorn/BBC related machines that flooded onto the market in the 80s. How many of them have you got hiding in your attic? Includes things you never knew you never knew!" Reproduced from MICROMART #658.

FIREWORKS
The intricacies of EUG #58's opener and its source code explained with example programs by our master-coder Chris Dewhurst.

Utilities

Disassembler (BBC B, B+, Master only)
It's Chris Dewhurst's turn to present a disassembler utility to add to your collection. Full documentation on using it ensures it's far easier to use than its professionally released contemporaries.

JIGSAW SUPPLEMENT (All series)
Four brand new Jigsaw piccies to add to your collection, including the troublesome, but now completed, Eternity puzzle. All advanced by pressing SPACE or saved to another disc with S.

Reviews

The Dave casts an auspicious eye over Moonbase Beta and The Viking Collection PD games for the BBC, and examines a Joystick Interface and Sound Expansion Cartridge cartridge for the Electron.

Mailbag

Feedback on some reviews at last; Margaret Stanger and Simon Ullyatt lament the end of the true 8-bit era; the last word on disc and Chris Dewhurst wonders what will happen after in this full mailbag section.

Plus!

This issue's opener is a mock up screenshot of what a fantastic conversion of The New Zealand Story might look like on the BBC series. It was produced using Mosaic on A&B 2.08.
