EDITORIAL
*************************************

Ok, so I'm out of sync with the issues (yet again!), which was one of the reasons I just stuck to numbering the issues and not putting a month on them. Strangely, I have just received a computing magazine that dates itself 2
months ahead! Anyway, I digress off topic;

I'm still being hounded by many readers about the results for the basic coding competition, especially as I haven't printed the results or given any update
on the progress . Be reassured that I haven't forgotten about the competition. I have two people working through the entries, weeding down them to form a top 3. Some of the entrants for the competition were absolutely mind-blowing, and because of the way they were coded, I enlisted external help to ensure that they were fairly marked.

We had the usual skiing type games with a scrolling up screen on which users move a character left and right to avoid the trees. We had variations on that theme with a space ship avoiding mines and picking up energy etc. We even had some demos that took stock of the examples given, with scrolling text and eye candy on screen. I'm sorry it's taking so long to judge, but it will be worth the wait when you see the winning entries. Thanks to everyone who emailed
heir entries in. We have looked at every single one of them (another reason
its taking so long). To be honest, I was surprised at both the interest in a basic cometition and the quality.

CRASHED AND BURNED

Well, I crashed my car, leaving me both carless and careless. I had to walk 13 miles to work and another 13 back again on the same day! I was unable to grab either a bus or lifts from people on subsequent days due to my shift pattern. Still, that's no excuse! Let me tell you the real reason the issue is so late.

Well the dog ate it ! (and yes, I know: I don't have a dog - it was a stray that ran into the house)

BERZERK

We see a long awaited review of BERZERK REDUX. We saw the cartridge release, which has been tweaked over a number of years, and then just as we waited for its release, copyright issues prevented that release. So we just have the
final version as a free download! Still, it's possible to burn it to a cartridge should you wish to do so. Its another of my favourite games, but
it's been done really well, and captures the essence of the arcade version
that I used to waste so much money on, and be so scared of when it actually talked to me.

We also catch up with Leonard Roach to finish the interview started in the
last issue for C= Free. We find out more about some of the software he created for the c64 machines. We also find out why he didn't retire a millionaire.

Then we mix in some news, releases and information, and we have a completed magazine!

Thanks for reading - comments and content are welcomed and encouraged
