Leviathan, for the Spectrum.

Modestly described as "the

your spaceship over a 3D

landscape as you batlle the

usual horde of aliens. The 128

version will have a n enhanced

Errata

T.S.A.M. at last!

Taking over the 'better late than never' throne (recently

vacated by Ocean) Ariolasott have finally gotten their

Christmas '86 release, They Stole A Million ready to go Into

the shops. Or so they toll us, after all they said that before

Christmas. Still, while you're all waiting eagerly tor the

game's arrival here's a picture of Ariolasoft's Mark Eastman

Inprtsoned in solitary confinement until the game Is released.

Egg on face time I'm afraid, somewhere along the line a

couplo of numbers vanished from the listing in our Memory

Expansion Program In the April Issue.

The final numlver on line 230 should have been 561, the

final number In line 250 should have been 609. In line 270,

the number 1791051 should have read 179,1051 and In line

290 the final number was 790.

Apt perhaps that our April Fool program should backfire

on us.
