1990's called
"Etch-A-Sketch" then here's a fab demo from Style called "Etch-A-Style".
The demo will start with an automatic drawing. You can however have a play with the Etch-A-Sketch demo, simply by pressing the RUN/STOP key, and use
the keys, L-Shift, A, Crsr Up and Crsr Left to draw your own sketches.
Since this is a classic demo, not a utility - you are unable to save your pictures you draw. Anyway have fun with it.

NEXT ISSUE:

Sadly no contributors releases hit this issue's cover tape. We mainly
relied on the Public Domain sector. However we have tried our best to
bring you a good E-Cover tape. Hopefully it is a good one for all of you.

We shall continue to bring you the E-Covertape, but if you want to
contribute anything for the next E-Cover Tape (Issue 78 of Commodore Free), please send those programs over to either to richardbayliss.c64(a)gmail.com
or to Nigel at nigelp2(a)yahoo.co.uk. (Note (a) is @ in email addresses).
We will be happy to feature other formats as well as just the Commodore 64.
So if you have anything that is for other Commodore computers i.e. VIC 20,
C16 +4, etc. Which has not been commercially released or is your own work. Then please do mail those in to us. Maybe next issue, you'll be starring
on the next E-Cover Tape :)

...the Q-Link session from 1989 I recorded on VHS tape to
blip.tv/file/4138357 But not if you go there they took that video down. I don't get why. So I uploaded it to you tube here:

Blip.tv took down all the Commodore, Amiga, and Star Trek videos that I
gave to BIOS to be posted there, because those videos no longer meet their
new "Terms of Service". By that, they mean no videos of meetings, presentations, etc.. They only want entertainment programs, preferably on-going series of entertainment programs.

Do not worry. Except for two videos that Blip.tv lost somewhere, all the
other videos were archived and will eventually go back up at Biosjerbil's channel on Youtube.com With over a hundred to be posted, that may take some time. In the meantime, my Amiwest Show 2013 videos have been posted there lately (for Amiga computer fans).

PRINTABLE 1541 ULTIMATE CASE

Can't find a case for your 1541 ultimate, www.1541ultimate.net/conten t/index.php? You could just download the files to print out your own,
assuming you have access to a 3D printer, with the cost of 3D printing now within the grasps of the average user, I can seem more and more of this
(print your own) for Commodore users, especially for these types of
short-run cases .

HEAD ON AND COMET CHAT 1.5
*************************************

News from Goog

You may have heard elsewhere already, but I released a new online game and
new version of Comet Chat.

HEAD ON GAME:

This game is similar to Tron's Light Cycles...the game isn't super fancy in terms of graphics and sound, but offers a nice 2-player head-to-head game
that you can play online, using CommodoreServer's gaming service.

COMET CHAT V1.5:

This version of chat allows you to load different fonts from the Internet.
At 38K speeds, it is incredibly quick. As the online disk grows with more fonts, your choices will be greater for displaying text. It also allows
you to launch games directly from the chat app. This is nice, because as you're chatting, you'll not only see the games that people launch, but also
be able to join them quickly.

DOOM VIC 20
*************************************

Just to prove nothing can ever be called impossible; and I have reported
this before about Doom on the Vic. Kweepa has released a port of the
shareware version of Doom for the Vic 20. The software needs a 35k Ram expansion and a disk drive to run. Although the screen size is small; and movement is jerky from slow screen refresh rates, you have to tip your hat
to the guy, as this is an amazing achievement on the Vic. His Doom ports
seem to be getting better and better.

Features 8 shareware levels, 4 enemies, 5 weapons, 11 music tracks, 20
sound effects, cheat codes, a map screen, corpses, secrets, pickups,
exploding barrels, intermission and victory screens, and more! The Loading screen that looks incredible on the Vic is by Mike. Also of note is the
doom music faithfully created by the Vic very good indeed!

The download is available from here
