HAVE YOU EVER HAD A HANKERING TO

be the computer generation's Leonardo

Da Vinci? Have you ever wondered if your

Commodore could be the instrument

which will lead to the achievement of

great heights of art and design? There is a

whole world of artistic creation hidden

away in your computer and it's just

waiting to be let out. Think of all the

marvellous programs you could enhance

when your artistic talents have been

unleashed upon the world.

You may think that this is just a ﬂight of

fantasy on our part. Maybe we're hoping

that our readers are the best thing since

sliced bread (which you are, of course!).

However, now's your chance to realise all

that potential talent by taking a look at our

special graphics features this month.

First on the list is a special review

section on graphics software packages.

You can get expert opinion on how good

each one is and how much use it will be to

help you achieve your particular

ambitions on the graphics front. It's also

packed with lots of really important

information like prices and names of

manufacturers to make it all easier for you

to get hold of. Not to be missed.

Graphics hardware is also dealt with in

detail this month. We look at four items of

hardware - two lightpens, a touch pad and

an electronic mouse (no, that's not

something to keep your cat happy on a

rainy day!) Even if you don't want to buy

any of these particular items then you'll

ﬁnd it interesting to know the facts about

them for future reference.

Last, but by no means least, is our

graphics program for the C64 which you

can type in to get your own personal

sketch pad for no extra charge. So if the

prices of all these other items have scared

you to death then never fear because

we're still looking after you and your

pockets.

home on a drizzly English summer day.

For those who are more interested in

the ever popular sport of golf, then

there's something for you too. We've

managed to put together a competition

with a sporting theme and we've got hold

of 50 copies of APS's Nick Faido's Open to

give away. There's absolutely no end to

our efforts to get you all ﬁt and pander to

your whims. So if you don't like baseball

and the excess of tennis in the

Wimbledon fortnight is still giving you

nightmares then turn to our competition

and you could ﬁ nd yourself having to

choose between a wedge and a driver and

wondering what on earth par is anyway!

And that's not all, of course, we've got

all our regular features and lots of series to

keep you at your keyboard for the whole

month till we come at you in October with

all your old favourites and some new stuff

as well.

games currently available and had a really

good look at them. There's tennis,

snooker, •squash, baseball, soccer and

ﬁshing so if we haven't catered for your

particular taste then it's not for want of

trying.

There's now a very wide choice of this

type of sports simulation on the market

and we've realised that armchair addicts

need someone to take the strain out of

making a decision, so once again we've

rallied round and done what's expected

of us. Eric the energetic reviewer was

positively whacked by the time he'd been

through them all, but we feel that it's

done him a lot of good as his hands are

now very slim and supple which is more

than can be said for the rest of him.

So, just sit down in a quiet corner and

have a read of the fruit of his great efforts.

There's certainly something to be said for

an energetic game of footer in your own

The sporting life

This is also an issue for those lazy armchair

sports people who have never managed

to get outside and pick up a racket of any

description and the only things they ever

run for are number 15 buses. We've

brought together a collection of sports
