Ps

With the re-branding of computing power and machines as something welcome in the home and
not just the workshop, a number of factors moved forth to sell these machines and their software
to a growing and large group of customers. Besides the introduction of more elegant cases and
an increased presence by larger and larger firms, a strong argument can be made that one of the
forces was the proliferation of computer-related magazines and newsletters that gave a central,
printed home for writing about computers. Rising from user support groups, computer companies
themselves, and publishing houses willing to risk cash and time to fund them, these magazines
set the stage for the home computer revolution.

AMIGA JUNIOR PD CLUB AMIGA

NEW!![:
Over the past few months we have wondered how parents felt about their children
and indeed themselves joining a
PD library and possibly receiving unsuitable material - . . i.e. Glamour
PIcs/Offenslve language etc . . . so we
decided to set up a subsidiary club where all the disks have been carefully vetted
as suitable for all. It is simply
going to be called THE JUNIOR PD CLUB and is for any age although the Club will be
orientated towards the younger
end. We have specially compiled a catalogue containing about 200 PD titles, 2
demos and a PD game.
We also have some Pens and Badges with the club name on them, we will send a Pen
FREE to all new members.
For the under 16s we will send a Pen AND a Badge FREE ol charge.
What we have to offer is the following:
• Only top quality branded disks used.
• Again, no commitment. No minimum order.
• First-class postage/same day despatch.
• All disks £1.75 each,

Revving up
I have made some changes to the

car racing game. On my Amiga I
added these lines:
91 roR z = 1 TO ?
n SOUHD 194,5,255,1
93 SOUHO HHT
H SOUNI} RESUME
95 lEXT Z
I also lound that by changing the

30 in Line 100 you can alter the
length of the track.
By the way, if you find my sound

too loud change the 255 in Line 92
to anything lower.
' Matthew Webster (10).

Moreton. Merseyside.
Lines 91 to 95 will only work

on an Amiga. But your
suggested change to the
track length is OK for ALL
computers.
Password problems
The March issue of Let's Compute! was very enjoyable, I

especially liked the Program Doctor with his Password program.
But one day I forgot the password. So 1 tried to break in and I
managed it. I just listed the program up to Line 70 and found
the line that the password was on. Please can you tell me how
to stop someone tike my srster doing this?
-Peter Ford (10). Workingham. Berkshire.
You didnt say what sort of computer you have. We

know a simple way to stop programs being listed on
Acorn computers. That's printed below.
If any Let's compute! readers know ways of

protecting programs on other computers let us
know. We'll pin some to the noticeboard.
On Acorn computers try typing this program ins
tl REH SORSY IT KON'T LIST •■"•

21 PRINT "THE PIOfiAAH VORKS"

LIST it and RUN It. It works just as you would

expect. Now type:
?tT0P-3>=6
Again try LIST and RUN. It now RUNS, but it wont

Don't cheat
I have typed in and tried Nlm from the April issue of Let's
Compute! I discovered ihal you can win when there are three
sticks in the pile and it's your go.
Take away 1.5 slicks and the computer loses. It is even

possible when the computer starts. To stop this happening I
changed every M lo M%, This means that all the numbers you
type in will be treated as whole numbers,
- Thomas Watts (1 1). New Maiden. Surrey.
It's cheating to take parts of sticks! Your solution

will work on most computers.
But we think an even better way is to tell the
player to stop cheating. This line will do that on all
home computers:
55 IF PI<>1NT(H) ThEH PRINT "CHE*T!!? T

OU CAN'T TAKE PUT Of h STICK":GOTe 51
Any name
will do!
On a receni survey,
about 20 per cent of
programmers used
FRED as a password.
Have you any idea why?
-AlexWaddeft(W).
Reading. Berks.
Programmers are
often poor typists.
As the letters FRED
are in a square on
the keyboard they
can find them
easily!
Do you want a
problem page?
I think Let's Compute' is great. The

programs are brill and Rom and Ram
are a great laugh. The competitiorkS
are wicked.
But there \s one thmg thai is

missmg. A problem page where
people could write «n for help,
- Dar}!e! Diltey (13), Chester
Loads of people send letters

asking us for help. We already
answer as many as we can fit
on the Noticeboard or in the
Games Gang,
What do other readers

think? Should we have a page
specially to answer problems?
Let us know what YOU think.
I thought you might like to see my

alterations for the car racing game in
the March issue. These lines are for
the C64 but they can easily be
changed lo suit other computers.

- Mtchael Cavers. Duns.

Berwickshire
The first three lines only work

on a C64 or 128 so people
with other computers should
miss them out. Also, Line 80
Is different for all computers.
Anyone wanting to use

Michaers changes on a
different make should just
replace the L»2 In the
published Line 80 with L*P,
Here's a programming tip.

Loads of IF...THENS following
each other can often be
replaced by one line.
Notice that in Lines 71 to 78

P and N always add up to 9.
This means that you can
always find P by taking N
away from 9.
So the eight lines can be

replaced by:
75 H=9-P
Spectrum owners should type

LET N^9 P. Also, Lines 71 to
78 of Michael's version need
LET after the word THEN on a
Spectrum.

Use Colin Markwelt's game to raise more cash!
uess the Letter is a

great lor any fund raising event.
Type in the program - very carefully.

SAVE it and then RUN tt-
For fund raising at a school fete or any

other occasion you must first LOAD the
game. Make sure Caps Lock or Shift Lock
>s pressed. Then let people guess the
tetter which the computer will pick at
random. They are given five chances. At
the end they are told what they have won -
if anything!
Change lines 310 to 330 to suit your

needs. G Is the number of goes you've had
and W$ is the message given with that
score. If you want more than five goes^
change the 5 in Lines 90 and 100.
This game is educational as weM. It's a

fun way to learn the alphabet.
If you arent using it for tundraislng you

can get rid of some messages. Just delete
Lines 310 to 340.
Of course, the program can be modified

In lots of ways to suit your own needs. Foi
example, you can change the messages,
add more or put some sounds in it.
Happy Fund raising!
This program and the

description printed here are by
Colin Mark well (13) from
Ipswich. It's based on the old

Your mission is to eliminate an

arms base. In yoirr way are
numerous enemy troops who must

Navy SEALS is not just another

game where you wafk along and
shoot everything in sighl. There are
tats of hazards to avoid too.
The best of these is an intelligent

enemy They don'l ûst turn on you

screen.
They can only get to you if they

see you. You can creep up on them
from behind, or leap from above,
Youve only five lives to last you

But this leads to the game slowing

The Dick Tracy game is based on the
famous ftlm and comic strip. He's an
undercover cop in the New York of the
1920s. His job is to stop the big gangs
with their evil gambling, drink and
protection rackets.
Like several other new releases, the

game is based on pans of the film. Various
shots from tt are seen as you play.
The aim is very simple. Walk along

beating all the bad guys. At first you only
have your fists - but you soon pick up a
gun. Keep your eyes peeled for other
useful bits and pieces too.
The best part is walking around the nice

graphics. Apart from that I found it rather
boring.
The graphics have been drawn in a

special cartoon style. They work very well
But the choice of colours could have been
better - they are mostly yellow and red
Neither do the screens scroll gently from
one to another The landscape clears and
then a new scene appears.
But the sound

»s good. There
are some nice
tunes and some
reasonable
effects.

£24 95 for the Atari ST,

and 064 versions

The game has

The
Up to now ws^ cr*«tsd an Adventure Isnd-
■eape th«l cm be moved around at will.
Hew let's move on to Hie next imfiortant pert
of your adventure manager - pfacing the
ofalects.
Most adventure! uae objects. Remember the ones In

Thi Golden Crown in Februaiys Issue of Let's Comp^t9?
There you had objects like a large bucket and the
deak. You could pick them up and use them as part of
the game.
How we ar« going to put objects Into OUR adventure.

You can see them In the DATA in Lines 6C00 to 6300. Add
these to your program.
Hote that the last DATA line contains a rogue vafue. It

wertu like the one In the word list. Thi i was explained In
the March Issue.
Remember^ using this syttem means you can eatlly

add things to your list- You dent have to tell the program
hew many things there are In It.
Look at the DATA lines. You can lee that

each object has a number In front of H. This
Is Ihe number of the room the object will
start In,
tome of the objects have leros In front of

them. This just means they will not appear In
any room at the start. You can think of room zero aa a
sort of store room for your objects when you're not using
them.
Holice lliat objects are not always things you can pick
up and use. They can do other things. For Instance, the
red light in the air lock will eventuaify be changed to the
green light.
The objects and room numbon are in DATA lines. Your

computer now needs to READ them-
This Is done In the tame way as we did with the

words. Type In lines 1 060 to 1 140.
These ere now pert of the setting Uf pe»

tine. Every time you run Ihe program the
'^^^'^ objects wlH be put In the correct rooms.
^^^^ The array OBJECTS contains the descrlp-
tlons of the objects. OBJnoOM hold* the
room numbers. So 0BJECTS(1} contains laser rifle and
0BJR0OM(i} contains 2, the room the laser starts In.
Like the room numbers, each object Is numbered by Its

place in the list. For oHampie, the laser is number 1^ the
space suit number 4 and the fixed cable number 14.
Hext we want to display the objects as part of the
ct of an

room dftscHptfon, \.\n%% 20S0 to 2080 do thii. So typo
them in.
Tho linoa search the OB^HOOU array. A* they do they

check H any ol the room numbers match the one you at*
in* If they do the deecription ol the object It printed
iwdeme a th the room detcrfptlon.
How try RUNning the program. You'll tee our ob)ects In

your adventure. Why not put In some of your own?
You could put teachers into ctassrooms, tools into

stode or dragons Into cavee. Just use your imagination
and scatter the map with all sorts of thingsl
♦ At thB moment the objects are just

things In the rooms. Next month
we'll find out how to carry them
around. Then they'll really become
part ol the adventurel
A CHALLENGE
So far your pfogram

displays the objects in
a room. Thrs is fine as
long as there are
some objects therel
If Ihere arenT it
prints;
Tou fan itt :
Can you alter the

display routine your-
self? It shouldn't print
anything at all ff Ihere
are no objects in the
room. Or perhaps you
could make it pnnt;

Have you sot the

bottle to chart
the rainfall
with the Let's
Compute!
rain gause?
Projects are always simple to make,
this month's is the easiest yet.
It*s a rain gauge. And it's just made
from a plastic bottle and a ruler.
What's your computer got to do
with that? Well what better way
to keep records than use it?
The program we*ve given here
draws a barchart from your
readings. But you can use other
programs to process your
results.
You could, for example, feed
them into a spreadsheet - just
like the real weathermen do!
Once you've made the gauge
take readings at regular intervals -
say daily. Then you can compare
yours with the ones that
shown on TV.

MAKING
THE RAIN GAUGE
First you need an empty plaslic bottle. It must have stfaighl sides like
the one in our picture.
Now cut ihe top part off to form a funnel. It's a good idea lo get your
parents to help with thai
Turn the funnel you have made upside down Push it into the other
pan of the bottJe to make your gauge.
Now tape a ruler to the side of the gauge. The zero of the ruler
should be above any bumps or shapes at the bottom of the boltle.
Pour water into the gauge up to the zero mark on the ruler It's now
ready to use.
Put it in your garden. Try lo find a fairly shaded place so the rain
doesn't evaporate. Now it's jusi a matter wailing. When i! rains Ihe
gauge will collect il You can check the depth by ]usl reading ihe ruler.
WHY USE A FUK,^.
At tfrst It may seem poimiess havlna a

funnel ,nto the base. After all rain wouS ,aS
-nro the boltom half of a bome anywav.
The purpose of the funnel is lo stoo ih^

water .n the gauge evaporating *" ^^^
^;rh f .,^'^^^^'™nl, make another gauqe

wilhoui Ihe funnel Stand it fn your garden
nexMo the one that has one.Check if the
readings from both are the same
if you want to convert your numbers Into a barchart here's a

program to do it. Type it in. SAVE it and RUN ft.
You'll first be asked How many readings'^ The most you are
altowed lo type in is about 35 - the exact number depends on
which type of computer you have
Next you type in the readings. One after each question mark
that appears.
The biggest number that will be correctly dtsptayed is about

25, If you type a larger one the biggest bar that will tit wiil be
drawn. Once you've lyped in all your readings your barchart wITI
be drawn tf there's enough room a gap will be left between
each bar
The numbers up the side are automatically chosen so the
bars are as tali as possible-

Note that, although this program is intended to be used with
Pete's ram gauge it has other uses. With it you can draw
barcharts ot any numbers you want such as Ihe how much
money you spend each day-

That
clever
prosram
wasn't all it
seemed
to be!
Last month we said that il would be really useful to have a program
That doubles your computer's memory. And we printed the
program - it's shown again on the right.
We didn't actually say that this program doubles the menxiry,

II WAS the AphI issue after alH
So you typed it in? Doni worfyl It wasn't such a waste of

time after afL You can now use it to have some fun with your
paFs.
At the bottom of this page we explain how the program

works. By changing the DATA numbers starling at Line 100 you
can make it phnl ANY message you like.
The numbers are called the Ascii codes of the letters. Every
letter has a number to represent it. Most computer instruction books
give a list of Ihe letters and their numbers.
But as usual. Let's Compute!, makes it easy. Here's a program :o pnni the Ascii
codes fof you whenever you like:
10 INPUT JtSiPllMT ILSCCAI):CDTD 10
On a Spectrum use CODE in place otASC.
You'll notice that there are a lot of 13s in our DATA. These make your computer
start a
new line of type.

Try other numbers in the range to 255, For example 12. On most computers that
clears the screen.

Note that the fast number in the DATA must be 99. Line 30 checks for It. More DATA
is read until it is found. You could change d to 999 if you want to use code 99
anywhere eise.
You can also make the program tnteractive. That means someone else can
type the codes in and find out the secret message-

To do that change Line 20 to:
20 LET 1I=H*1:INPUT L(PI)
If you make this change. Lines 100 to 200 now do nothing. Take
them out if you want.
When the program Is run, just type in your numbers. Type

each one after a question mark appears - don't forget to
press Return each lime.
When you have typed them all in type 99. Your

message will be displayed.
You've now got the basis of a coding and a

decoding program. And you can go further. You
can make the code harder to crack.
For example, you can add one to each

number Then change line 70 to lake it off
automatically:
II LET n-^-Mn

H LET TiH«2:ft

# It's up to you
to think of morB
sneaky tricks to
mmkm tho code
harder to
crmck.
HOW THE
WORKS...
Lines 10 to 30 read in all the

numbers. They are stored *n the
computer memory locations L(1),
L{2), L(3). and so on.
Line 40 does nothing. II was put there to
make you think something was being
doubled Miss it out now-
Lines 50 to 80 pr^nt oul the message.
Line 90 is a message tor you. Your computer
doesn't need it so you can miss it oul if you want.
Lines 100 to 200 contain the numbers that will be
printed as the message. Change Ihem if you want.
Remember, you must have a 99 as ihe last one.
But CAN memorr
be doubled?
It's impossible for any program to

double ttie memory of a computer
irystead you need more memory
chips.
But programs can sometimes be

written to make it seem as if your
computer has more memory Ttiey
are completely different tor different
kinds of computer
Your computer reserves some of

its memory for controlling disc
drives and tape units. This is only
needed for sfiort periods.
For instance, say you )/vant to

play a game Your computer uses
some of its memory to work the tape
or disc unit to toad it But once that's
done It doesn 't need it any more.
A program can be written so that

the extra memory can be used for
something else. It could be used to
store the high score table.
So the useful memory can be

extended by clever programming.
But it can't be doubled. A short
program Ifke the one we printed last
month couldn^t possibly do it.
So, if you were footed, watch out

The classic Space Invaders started life in pubs and arcades.

It was a hit long before computers became popular.
Then along came another game which was to knock it for

six.
It's name was Pacman. And It became an instant success -

the very first chase-around-the-maze game. Over the years
there have be^n many copies of the original idea.
This special Let's ComputBl version will run on most home

computers. The changes needed for the popular ones are
given. Pacman is represented by a letter C. The ghosts are
asterisks - (*).
When you pick up the special power pill - (-f) * the ghosts
become harmless. They show this by changing into a letter O.
While they are like this you can eat them. If you do they
change into quotes - {"} - and return to their den* They are
then reborn and chase you again.

Sound advice

There are lots of things you can do to make
this into VOUR version of Pacman. You could add
colour, use different shapes, add extra objects to pick
up or put some sounds into the program. Try putting
in a click sound each time a pill is eaten. You could
a)5o add an explosion each time Pacman is eaten by
a ghost. An increasing tone while the ghosts are
edible gives you an idea how fong you've got le

There's mounling alorm about the oppolling standards of spelling

among Britoin's schoolchildren, MPs, Jeachers, parents ond
employers are all stressing the vital importance oF being able \o
spell correctly,
Yel mosi homes have what could be Ihe ideal means ot teaching
spelling - the computer
Instead of zapping aliens it could be turned into the besi weapon

ol oil to deal a body blow to bod spelling. With the help of a
brilltani new softwore pockoge that not only makes proctisjng
spelling painless but also loads of fun as well.
SPELL! '\i unique. It lets ihe user team at his or her own pace
They can take as long as they like - or take on the computer in a
high-speed challengel
And this one package h ideal for everyone - with the lowest oge
group suitable for under-5s, v/hile the n>ore advanced words will
stretch even the most oble students.
H includes five different tests, each making use of more

than 5,000 words - so much variety that you'll never
get bored.
FIVE ways to improve your spelling

frl o flash: Read the word as it floshes on the screen, then type it in.
For pfodice njns. the wcrd is left on the screen oi it is typed.
Rocket: Hidden words hove to be discovered /n this hi-tech version of

rfjeoUfavowriteHongnion. if they are guessed corredfy the rocket will
Uost-off. Fail ond all that's left is a hod of scrap.
lunar Bu^gy: Type fast for fur\. The aim is to key in the word as ifs
pvlled across the screen by the buggy. It has to be completed before the
letters drop down a crater.
All Mixed Up: JumUed letters have to be sorted out to firyd the
scrambled word. To he/p beginners - and ar^yone else wfm is stuck -
clues can be obtained at the press of a key.
Conveyor 8e/fr V/ords pass byor\^

screen ond hove to be remembered. Ihen
tfiey must be typed in - spelt corredlv.
This is a challenging test of both spelling
ond memory.
All Ihe programs have several

options for extra flexibiJrty - like
a timer with on/off option to
o<ld thot extra challenge.
• 5 DIFFERENT TESTS
• OVER 5,000 WORDS

CARD INDEX DATABASE
1. Load a box of cards
2. Save a box of cards
3. Road/search for a card
4. Write on a new card
5. Throw away old cards
6. Change something on a card

7. Print the cards
6- Sort the cards into order

9- Stop the program
Cards free=45/Cards used=6

What do you want to do?
Please type in a number (1-9)
Here il is: The fast routine of the Lei's Compute* database. Add it to the
previous bfts
and you have a 'ully working mim-dalabase'
This month's lines form another sell contained subroutine. They start at Line
6000.
Whal they do Is let you to change v^hat you have writier> on a card.
This ^s useful if you make a mistake and want to correct it. But that's not all!
Suppose you are using your database to store your friends' addresses If one moves,
the address will need changing
Or you could be keeping a list of your videos or music cassettes on computer. If

you
wipe a tape and replace the recording with something else you rêed to change the
information ir^ your database.
LOAD the program that you've built up over the past few months Then add the lines
shown on the right. SAVE your new version and RUN it.
Type in a few cards so you can check the new bit. Now, to change a card just
choose
option 6 from the menu Follow the instructions thai will be printed on your screen
and
you can easily modify your dala.
Youf Let's Compute! database is now complete. But that doesn't mean you have to
stop Iweeking it. There are lots of improvements and new features you can add.
The idea is to use this program as a framework and create youf own customised
database.
HERE'S MOVi IT WORKS
The information on the cards is stored in

an array called C$(255j Each card is
five fines long. If nothing has been
wntten on a card the first line is simply
an asterisk (")
So Line 6020 checks for an asterisk

and jumps over most of the lines in the
subroutine if it finds one. If there is an
asterisk nothing has been typed in so
there's nothing to change!
If the card has been written on it is

printed on the screen. The computer
then asks if you want to change the
information shown. If you say No, the
program jumps over a bit of code and
looks for the next card. But if you
answer yes the program asks you which
line of the card you would like to alter,
WARNING Be careful what you enter
here. The program doesn't check if the

number you have typed makes sense. If
you type in something silly you might
change what's been written on a
completely different card.
Line 6110 is the one that asks which

line you want to change. Then Line
6120 prints what's already there and
6130 give you the chance to type in a
new one. The new line is stored in the
array and the program continues with
the next card.
Ifs a very simple system, but it works.

You could try modifying the subroutine
so that you can alter another line on the
card at the same time. At the moment
you can on^y change one. It's not a
difficult problem to solve, but ifs one Til
ieave up to you!

Remember Carrier Comnnand? It
was one of the most complicated

shelves a couple of years ago.
It should be out on budget soon

so check it out if you missed it. Now

together lo produce something
even bigger,

rambling 3D world containing 400
completely different rooms. There
are also 1 60 different objecls-
The story's all about a giant com-

puter that's gone mad. The only way
to switch it off is to go inside its
giani housing. There you must
brave the security robots and find
the four pieces of the key. They lead
to the computer's brain-stem.
The gameplay and graphics are

great. And it's easy to get caught up
in the exciting atmosphere.

one up.

(11) from Thurmanston has the solulfon.
Press the keys SHFI while you are on the title screen. The words Cheat
Mode On will appear. When you are on levels 1, 2 or 3 pressing any key
between 1 and 5 will take you to different places on that level, i
Pressing 6 will lake you !o the next level. But pressing 6 on level 4 will-
take you lo the end Of the game. l
Simon Brambley (11) from Grimsby has been working really hard on
Gauntlet II on his Atari ST If you press P the game will pause. If you then
wait for five minutes and press fire al) the walls will turn to exits. I
Richard Irons wrote to us wirh a cheat for Shadow of the Beast 2 on

the Amiga. When you start to play walk nghl until you come across tne first
man.
Press A and when your compuer prints Ask about what? you reply Ten
pints. The computer will respond with This one's for you Roger! Cheat
mode now active.
You'll find that you now have infinite energy.

L W^ The Safe Scientist ^^Â
plays with a magnetic model
Magnets attract some ni«tal objects. But

witat happens If two magnets are put near
^ ^ each another? The program hare la a simple
y^^ Investigation. II lets you find out Just what DOES
^^ happen. Magnets have two ends. One Is called the
north pole and the other is the south pole. We need to
find out what happens whan poles are put near each other.
This computer simulation lets you do It without having to mess about
with real magnets.
When you RUN the program two magnets are shown. They have red
and blue ends - Just like real ones.
Press the spacebar and one magnet will move. It will stop when it Is
In line with the other. That will move according to the laws of
magnetism.
You can do the experiment as many times as you like by just pressing
the spacebar. The poles of the magnets are arranged in a random way
each time.
Try to come up with a rule. This means that you will be able to say
what will happen BEFORE you run tt«e program.

Can you draw an

interesting, pattern
or shape in Logo? If
you can we*d love
to see itp Post it to
Let's Compute!
Adiington Park,
Macclesfierd SKID
4NP. There s a
super Let's
Computet baseball
cap for the writer of

every one we print*
Tessa turtle is an expert at fitting
;^* shapes together That's why she's
called Tessa, '^
It's short for TesseTation. It's a

fancy word maths experts use
when they make a pattern from
shapes,
Now Tessa's made a

puzzle. It's jusi the four
J — ^ shapes shown below. The idea Is lo fit
^^ ^ them together to make Tessa's initial - T
^ Try \{ yourself! Cut out the shapes and see if you can arrange
them into the letter?,
Tessa gave the puzzle to Tubby. He couldn't do it at first.

But he's a real wizz on his computer
He worked out a Logo program thai gives the answer. You

can see it below.
If you can't solve Tessa's puzzle, just use Tubby's

program. But first you need to run the Logo Language. This
IS available for most makes of home compuier.
(If you haven't got Logo and you're using an Acorn

computer ttie Let's Compute! Turtle Logo is an idea! starting
point - see the offer on the left.)
Just type in Tubby's program. You can then discover the

answer lo Ihe puzzle by entering:

- five Bug Hunter
+ Bug Hunter
in Space packs*
must be won!
BugHunter has
made quite a
name for himself, ^
He keeps the
Archimedes free of
aft sorts nasties and
creepy crawlies. 4
Now tet's Compute!

Is offering five readers a
chance to win a copy of
BOTH of his adventures.
Bug Hunter was his fjrsi adventure, it ^
features a very special hero called"^
HysteronProteron.
Genelic scientists decided to produce

an incredibly strong, inlellrgent and loyal
super soldier But something went wrong!
The result was a six inch two-legged

creature. He has a big moulh and a
hatred tor insects.
He has sticky feel allowing him to walk

upside down. He can leap high into the
air to get past obstacles. And he can lift
ail sons of strange objects to destroy the
bugs he meets.
Bug Hunter in Space took our hero on

a very special mission. After proving
himself on earth, he is needed to prevent
an alien invasion ol bugs from outer
space. He must visit each ship and switch
off its engines. Then he has to dispose of
all the aliens and make each ship self-
destruct.
With larger areas to explore than in his

original adventure there are even more
difficult puzzles to solve. The bugs are
very different too. They are the most evil
creatures you could ever dread to meet!
