• Letters I
My two favourite 64 composers
are Rob Hubbard and Martin
Galway. They eachhave their own
style of programming brilliant music.
RobHubbard's music has lots of
goodsounds including a strong beat,
whichmakes you want to get stuck
into the game, even if you don't
like it.
Although. Martin Galway's music
is nothing like Rob's. I still think
they are very good. Did you know
that the title music in Yie Ar KungFu
is the sameas one of the tunes in
Taskset's jamming' (Level I3)
1 Thanks a lot for the best
computer magazine on the market. I
alsobuy Zzapl, but I really hate
reading it, because it contains too
many slang words.

• Firstly. your magazine is
excellent, in every way. I have
bought your magazine for two years
nowand I have never been
disappointed, until now that is.
In the July issue you reviewed
Gre nBeret. I totally agree with
e
your comments and I now have the
game. But the screen shots in the
magazi ewere different to those of
n
the actual Commodore 64 game.
Where did these screen shots come
from!
M.Lloyd,
Birkenhead,Merseyside.
The Green Beret screen shots
were from a pre-production
copyOcean sent us, they
weren't that different and the
game played identically to the
finished version. Any changes
were cosmetic.
Headmaster's
report
• I must write to support Terry
Waterhouse in his complaint (July
'86) concerning the downhill slide of
CU. How right he is and he has
pinpointed with devastating
accuracy the roots of your decline
whenhe lists certain crucial
introductions: the G-Force and their
inordinate number of reviews; Uncle
Jim's Club (purile Primary School
stuff); and that awful, soi-disant
Hotshots (how old is this guy Mike
Patteriden? — his copy is typical of
the Lower Third at St. Bellyache's).
Ihave been taking CU since
November '84. The other day I got
them all out and analysed their
contents, and on the evidence. CU
h schanged, and you no longer
o
cater for the older, more serious
reader. Judging by those items I have
listed, your target readership must
now be the 12-20 year olds, and
the younger end of that group
rather than the older.
I too have decided it is time to
bid a reluctant farewell to what was
once a fine magazine. I too have
decided to stick with YC, which has
maintained high standards, and
caters for all levels of Commodore
user. And to forestall your inevitable
jibe about why then do I stick with
CU— I am stuck with a
subscription that doesn't expire till
December, and I bet you wouldn't
be willing to cancelmy suband
refund me the unexpired balance—
I doubt it. (Spot-on — Ed)
And no. I won't be wanting the
T-shirt either — if you bother to
print this criticism, honestly held and
written in sadness, of the Decline
and Fall of a once great magazine.
RobinCarmichoel,
Bonnyi g,Midlothian.

Nostra culpa, Robin old bean.
You're right we have changed,
but for the better. We pay
attention to all levels of user,
catering most of all for the
greatest demand and use of a
computer-gaming. Meanwhile,
Mike's excited at the prospect
of going up to the fourths next
term. Adieu, parting is such
sweet sorrow,

Yousee, the trouble with the 6-4

under two lines long when typed in.
Not so when listing the program,
when lines can be three lines long.
Theway to achieve this is quite

2.Use abbreviations wherever
possible (there is a full list in the
user manual).
When listing the program the
abbreviations will appear in full and,
although some lines may be three
lines long, the 64 accepts this quite
happily.
