Hot-on-the-heels of
t h comes our Book of
e Book of Games
Reviews i n t h e
March issue.
Our next issue boasts a free give-
away guide to all kinds of computer
games, who supplies them and how
they compare.
We have sections on adventure
games, chess, draughts, othello and
backgammon games, arcade maze
games, space attack garnes, novelty
games and many more.
There's expert advice on how to
choose the particular type of game
you are interested in, w h a t yo u
should be looking fo r and what
standards to expect.
NEXT
WHA BUGGIN'
T'S
YOU?
For those o f you unfamiliar with
particular games, we have devoted
a page to explaining the differences
between Donkey Kong and Frog-
ger, how to recognise a Galaxiart
when you see one and how to tell
whether a Pacman ghost is edible
or not.
Each cassette or disc reviewed is
marked in our usual three categor-
ies, Ge tti n g Started, Va l u e a n d
Playability and if it scores three lOs
you kn o w o u r judges have been
suitably impressed.
It all adds up to the most striking
work yet on games software and it's
free inside every copy of Computer
& Video Games,
All you Seventh Empire competi-
tors will need our March issue to
check on your new position in the
Seventh Empire game.
You might have proved to be the
best fleet commander in the galaxy
and earned yourself a Colour Genie
on the way.
But even i f you w o rk out your
score to be well behind the leaders,
keep your fl eets on the move i n
March there's still plenty of time to
catch up.
Among our top games for March
will be: a version o f Donkey Kong
— featuring Mario the carpenter
and an escaped gorilla: Digger will
ask you to dig a hole and trap a
rampaging alien; there's Skiing.
Rockfall and Dr Who Adventure.

So you think it's easy being a Bug
huh? Well you should try sneaking a
dodgy listing past the Computer &
Video Games testers.
The month o f January tho', w e
didn't d o to o bad. Ma l Function
managed to pull a whole host o f
lines out of the ZX81 game Curse of
the Aztec Tomb (shown below).
On Cave Might most of you man-
aged to spot the two arrow errors.
In line 2040 the arrow should point
left. In line 2515 the arrow should
point right.
