I feel that it is time we
stopped griping about the atrocious
cost of video games and turned our
attention, instead, to those
programs and software houses
which deserve our praise.
In my opinion, one suchcompany
is Dosoft. They are constantly
producing extremely powerful and
user friendly software at a
reasortabk price) All the products
are well documented and I feel that
their customer services are second
to none. Not only are the replies
extremely prompt, but they also
appear willing and very able to help
with any problems attached with
their software. They even supply
the relevant peeks and pokes so
that you may tailor the program to
your own needs. (This is a problerr
whichdoes not often occur since
their programs are so flexible to
begin with).
Inaddition to this, many budding
machine-codeprogrammers may
find it very instructive just to
browse through their software since
many of the machine-code routines
areaccessed from Basic and
therefore can easily be located and
disassembled.
S let's have a round of applause
o
for Dosoft for producing not only
useful, but also instructive software.

to know (and software companies:i
about the increasing rate of pirate
computer games in overseas
countries.
Ilive in Nairobi and have at least
double the amount of copies than
originals and my friend's collection
of over 100 games is virtually all
copies.
If companies want to stand by and
watchas the alarming rate of
"pirate" tapes increase then let
them do so but for these companies
who do like to take advice then
how about puting a fixed price after
Predictable Games
When your reviewer called for something new to
bedone with games, how right he was (Green
Beret review, July). So many games both on the
64and in the arcades rely on the samebasic and
very boring ideas. Move rightwards across the
screenand fight your way past flashes No matter
how good the graphics are the samegameplay pervades. These are
just like platform games, a well tested technique that can be
repeddied time and time again for a few more pounds.
Thesame comment might also be applied to all the fighting games
youcan buy for the computer. Why on earth should I want to buy
more than two at the most? How come they sell and keep selling?
KnightGames is a classic example. You put it on the front cover and
give it an average mark, then give Way of the Tiger a screen star.
Surelythere is little to separatethem from agamelikeFighting
Warrior!
Why the hell can't programmers come up with some new ideas
andstop going for the easy option? One wonders just what Fist i s
going to end up looking like. Another clone I suppose.
GayMarsden,
r
P tebor
e r ough.
We're tempted to agree with you in some respects Gerry,
but if software houses are churning out arcade licence games
there must be a market. And it must be said that many of
these are of high quality — like Beret and Ghosts and
Goblins. Many other software houses out there are
producing novel and original games like
Gremlin's Bounder. As for the fighting
games there is an element of predictability
here. You can make up your own mind
about Fist II from the preview.

£7.95 is priced at £25 hereand if

computer shops in the town (all
about the same price). And secondly
to try to encourage more
busi essmen to open new computer

countries.
