ElTil ETEITEIIE iNTS

Commodore's aim in launching the

new machine is to use it to form the

basis of a second generation of oper-

ating methods and facilities,complete-

ly new to the home computer

marketplace.

Commodore's Chris Kaday

commented: "The mixed business and

home computer audience at this

(PCW) show has exposed this product

to the broadest potential user base

possible. Their intitial reaction bodes

well for every associated person and

company in the computer industry, re-

tailers who are eager to sell it and soft-

ware developers who will enjoy the

challenge of producing new packages

to exploit its facilities."

The 64C has been launched in a

package including games and a mouse

under the label Connoisseur's Collec-

tion. The exact contents of the package

is as follows: the 64C plus cassette unit,

mouse and cheese colour graph ics soft-

ware, Pitmans Typing Tutor, plus

computer versions of the board games

Monopoly, Scrabble, Cluedo, Chess

and Renaissance.

The price of the Connoisser's Col-

lection is £249.99,

Welcoming the 64C

Commodore's long awaited and much

trumpeted 64C has ﬁ nally been re-

leased in a classic Commodore gift

pack in time for the Christmas rush.

Billed as a new personal computer

for home, schools and businesses.

Commodore describes its design as

pace-setting and its colouring (the

same as the I28's) as eye-catching

ivory and grey.

Described as completely compat-

ible with the C64 (and believed to be a

CM with a face lift by many in the

know). Commodore claims buyers of

the new machine will have access to the

largest software base in the world.

Get Up and Go

The ever popular sport games market

is still proliferating new titles.

The latest from the US Gold stable

are Super Cycle (Epyx) and Go for

Gold (Americana).

Super Cycle is a motorbike simu-

lation, your machine is a 750cc job and

the game pits you and your bike

against the road, curves, your rivals

and, of course, the clock, First choose

your machine and leathers, then devise

your tactics. There are deadly ob-

stacles for you to negotiate as you

speed your way around the circuit:

water, ice and oil make the going tough

at every turn. A realistic instrument

panel helps you get the hest from your

machine using the Tachometer and

speedometer. Super Cycle is available
