anicked and they started running for their lives. Some of
which were just too dumb to even enter back to their flat and office buildings.

The president called for help, and thankfully help comes at hand, by a world's famous heroic leader in the technology market, and Skyship industry ... YOU
... That's right, you are the chosen one.

Your mission is to pilot your Skyship through the towns of cities, which are infested with deadly mutant tomatoes. Blast your mega double laser beams at 'em. They are the main cause for chaos. Luckily for you that's your only mission ... Or is it?

Seriously not. Your mission is to travel all the way across several towns and cities, and countryside. Not only do you have to shoot the tomatoes, but you also have to rescue the people who are stranded on top of buildings or elsewhere. Simply pick them up in the right place, but DO NOT CRASH INTO MOUNTAINS, BUILDINGS, STRUCTURES or any other background. (Light houses you will go past). At the end of your journey, blasting through the small
tomatoes. You will end up facing the final ordeal by fighting against the MEGA TOMATO. This evil guardian requires 50 shots before it gets destroyed.

Those tomatoes will try their best to destroy your space craft if they get
near to you - or you get near to them. Can you save the world from complete fruity chaos, or will the Mega Tomato dominate this planet?. ... I say good luck pilot. Get blasting.

ROCKS IN SPACE DELUXE

(C)1988 Paradox Creations (PD)

Programming: Alan Bond
Graphics: Alan Bond
Music: Alan Bond
Genre: Arcade (Asteroids)
Controls: Joystick in Port 2

Down on Earth, Astronomers peer through their telescopes and systems noticing asteroids are heading towards planet Earth. With thanks to all of the latest technology and gadgets, a warp craft has been built. Armed with pulse cannons.

We have transported the warp craft into deep space, and you have been assigned to control it. Guide it safely around space, blasting at each and every space rock that comes across. Avoid contact with this space rock, otherwise you'll destroy the ship - and we'll have to warp another one. As soon as all space rocks have been shot and destroyed, the next wave of space rocks will
approach. Keep on blasting those space rocks, and you'll do fine. This game consists of different game modes. Those are as follows:

* Deluxe mode - Nicer graphics, and posh colourful look

* Original mode - The older black+white graphics, which were used in the
original Space Rocks

* Fast mode - Game plays in fast mode.

* Slow mode - For the easier game :)

There are 50 levels in total to complete.

RENT A COP

(C)2012 Achim Volkers

Programming: Achim Volkers
Graphics: Achim Volkers
Music: Anders Carlsson
Genre: Platform
Controls: Joystick in Port 2

The shopping mall is under threat of imminent robberies from a series of crazy robbers. Each shopping mall has hired you, as a cop to go into each mall and try to stop the robbers from pinching stuff from well known stores. To help
you on your way, you can use escalators and lifts, but beware. Capturing the robber will be not as easy as you will think. In fact at times, the crazy robber will be too smart. Various obstacles in the shopping mall will be a challenge for the poor copper. There are shopping trolleys and assorted toys out there to slow you down.

Avoid contact with the toys, and most of all the toy helicopters. If they hit you, you are guaranteed a hair cut (or could it be something more sinister?). Capture the robbers before the shopping malls have nothing left to sell, thus
a major Recession could occur :)

ALESTE

(C)1992-2013 Lazer Image

Programming: Tim Ager (using SEUCK)
Graphics: Tim Ager
Music: Richard Bayliss
Genre: Shoot 'Em Up (SEUCK)
Controls: Joystick in Port 2

To end this issue's cover tape we have a very special SEUCK creation called "Aleste". Sadly the game never got finished, but it is practically a full game anyway. All you have to do is fight the enemy mechs and try to free your world from oppression. Best of luck to you. An extra game: While loading each part
on tape, you will be treated to an extra game called "Moo-Tilation". This is our old tape loader game, seen on a few TND/Psytronik games, in which you have to blast your way at alien ships that try to capture your cows. Once all cows are captured, to game ends.

ARC64 V2.3 RELEASED
*************************************

Arc64 V2.3 - © 2002-2013 Graham - 10.01.2013

Arc64 is a small tool to deal with D64, T64, LNX and ZipCode archives.

It can be used to edit D64 images, run D64 images in the WinVice emulator, run PRG files via CodeNet, convert T64, LNX, PRG, ZipCode and other formats to D64.

A key feature is the drag & drop support. If you drop a D64 image, it will be opened instead of the currently opened D64 image. If you drop any kind of
other file, Arc64 will try to add it to the D64 image. Formats like T64, LNX and P00 will automatically extracted into the D64 image as PRGs.

Any changes to a D64 won't be saved automatically, you either have to drag the header of the directory into an explorer window, or you have to use the Save-option from the menus.

Arc64 may also be called via command line with a file name as argument.
