Slow To

Speed Up

Commodore has finally

realised that its own

CBM 64 cassette

programs take longer to

load than anyone else's

CBM 64 tapes T h i s is

because everyone else

ignores the 64's usual

method for reading in

tapes and substitutes

their own fast-loader.

Commodore has now

announced that it will

use Novaload for all its

future cassette based

software. Novaload is a

sophisticated fast-

loading system allowing

music and animated

text while the program is

loading! Novaload also

incorporates

software-protection.

Software houses using

Novaload include Ocean

and Liamasoft.

The Music

Market

Latest in a number of

sophisticated music

packages for the 64 is

Paradox's MusiCalc.

modules can then be

added. These include a

it's absolutely essential

The latest game to

make this claim is

Dynavision's Havoc — a

Zaxxon-like action

game. From the screen

shots supplied, though,

the game does look

impressive. The idea is

to defend your

Homeland against the

17: a score template,

adding 32 scores to the

standard 32 melodies: a

now-standard MIDI

interface, to allow the

system to be connected

to other synthesisers.

and a rhythm template

The basic package

costs £45 on disk.

The additional

modules range in price

from El 5 to E45.
