The more observant
among y o u , m a y
have noticed a few
changes t a k i n g
place a m o n g
actrGs more regular features.
The disappearance o f Down to
Basic is one example. In this issue
you will fi nd no Bramware as this
has been replaced by our Puzzling
pages. An d other changes to the
format are coming soon.
Down to Basic will b e replaced
next month by a column more suited
to most home computer owners —
and especially the games players.
Machine code is already understood
by many of C&I/Cs readers (espe-
cially the younger ones it seems) but
for those o f you who have not yet
grasped the fundamentals w e are
starting up a column to help you get
to grips with it.
The column is being written by
Ted Ball and since we don't want to
overload him too much, the Decem-
ber Practical Programming will be
the last in the series.
Our machine code series w i l l
quickly be followed b y an article
showing you how to put your new-
found knowledge to good use i n
b
more of that at a later date.

The Seventh Empire
was the rebel which
challenged t h e
stable r u l e o f th e
known galaxy and
set a pattern o f warring confusion
which holds sway to this day.
Piracy became commonplace, no
planet was safe from the threat o f
invasion and whole star systems
changed allegiance as the tribes
fought f o r th e r a w materials o n
which galatic fortunes rested.
The Seventh Empire is the name
of a computer game so different it
will take us three issues to get i t
started. December sets the scene of
the game which can even be played
by those without a home computer.
