Christmas time...
P
eople are nowadays too often running out of time, they tend
to constantly swing into high gear. Some relationships, either
with family or friends, are thus dropped due to lack of time or
the distance separating us from our closest people. Fortunately,
Christmas is fast approaching and we might finally get an occa-
sion to slow down, unwind and spend some more time within the
family.
It’s also a primary gifting period and we, the editorial crew of
“K&A plus”, have something new for you: the third issue of our
magazine in a totally refreshed visual design! In order to properly
prepare ourselves for the Christmas break we also wrote some arti-
cles related to this special time of the year.
We also made sure to get some more editorial pieces devoted to
Amiga, as some of you pointed out that we focus too much on
8-bit machines. We’ll do our best to keep that diversity in the future
as well, so that a single issue of our magazine offers articles related
to most of the Commodore computers.
I could now go over the contents of #3, like people usually do in
the editorial intros, however, I feel that you should discover the
articles all by yourself. Get some positive retro feeling, take yourself
back in time to the greatest periods of your childhood, and use the
Christmas break opportunity to sit down with friends or family mem-
bers and fire up your retro hardware! You can again enjoy some of
the greatest titles from the old days.
I wish you all to stay in the positive sublime mood.
Merry Christmas to everyone!

BLAP ’N BASH
TND, 2015
Have you noticed that for
some time now there is al-
ways a game of the ”Break-
out” gender being presented
here? I think this is quite good
because everyone loves “Ar-
kanoid”-styled arcade games.
In ”BLAP
’
n
Bash” the player
takes the role of an alien who
is kidnapped and imprisoned
in space. Your task is to clear
the bricks in each intergalac-
tic zone, with the traditional
action: paddle, ball and
break. Good luck!
Time Of Silence is an ad-
venture game throwing us
in a post-apocalyptic world
which is the result of a mys-
terious plague that decimat-
ed humanity. Interestingly,
the associated disease, in
addition to naturally highly
fatal effect is also linked with
hallucinations and supernat-
ural abilities. The intro makes
a good impression with a very
interesting gameplay and ex-
pressive graphics, presented
in a perspective view from the
top. The game has a great,
simple and convenient in-
terface (menu interacts with

the village is even idyllic, but
be assured that soon the at-
mosphere will change by 180
degrees, and the final chap-
ters of the plot will be really
impactful. Unfortunately the
game is very short (and sim-
ple, but this is just fine) and
that’s a disadvantage. The
game’s author has already
announced that he is working
on the sequel. The game was
released in two languages -
English and German - hence
the double title at the top.

this should not have a ma-
jor impact on its attractive-

because it is a SEUCK game,

at all.
games’ fans. There is a new
game, or rather a conversion,
under the title ”Athanor – The
Awakening”, original created
for Oric and Amstrad com-
puters. The game is currently
(as of this writing) in preview
stage, so the final release will
take a bit longer. The author
has also announced an up-
rising conversion for VIC20
users. To download the game

POPEYE
Oh, that Mika! Once again
he brings us a fun little new
game. This time it is something
for platform games’ fans. Lots
of jumping, breaking bricks and
avoiding various obstacles…
These are the main compo-
nents of ”Dork Dave and the
Dirty Trick”. If you like playing
games like ”Super Mario Bros”
and rescuing ”stupid princesses”
all wrapped with good graph-
ics, this game is definitely for
you. Check it out!
Oh, wow, this took me by
surprise! ”Popeye” from old
arcades has been ported
to VIC20. This is a really cool
conversion for what a VIC is
being capable of. Beside that,
is good to again meet Pop-
eye, Olivia and Bluto, even if
you are not a huge fan. Such
arcade games always offer
great playability. I think there
is no need to have some spe-
cial urge to play this game.

A mega minimalistic version
of Formula 1 racing game? It
must be certainly one of the
few remaining parts of the
old game called ”Sprint”. Yes,
that’s right. In this case we
are dealing with the conver-
sion of the original arcade,
originating in 1978, created
by Atari. Really cool thing, but
