Description	Ahh.. those were the days when you used to stroll into Dixons with a couple of friends and wait until the shop assistant (Invariably called John) had his back turned whilst busy with another customer. Then you'd strike, running around the entire bay of eight-bit computers, typing the seminal program 10 PRINT Hello 20 GO TO 10 into each machine. To add add a bit of panache you might also use a semicolon or perhaps insert the newest swearword you'd learnt that week. Of course it didn't matter that you were 24 at the time and had just completed your PhD in advanced compuer science from Cambridge university. It was still expected if not considered compulsory to do this on visiting the popular high street chain. Anyway, you can now happily relive those days in this feature-packed simulator from Shaun. It allows you to create such a screen from thousands of possible variants, whilst also completely relieving you of any programming burden.
Comments	The first of Mr Rapier's double whammy and another reminder that 48K-only owners are missing out on a lot of fun here! You will take to the game itself like a duck to water, particularly if you are familiar with the Sinclair BASIC environment. Needs the RAMDISK to work, making it somewhat of a skilful investigation into how to do less with more. Ultimately, though the flexibility of this title is only limited by the imagination of the human participant, and by the Speccy's ULA. Oh yes, large print font on the intro screen. We like resized text tricks like those ones in our advanced speccy programming books - Goodo.
