Here's a good lesson on how to submit a game for consideration. The disk comes with an informative label, giving the name of the game, loading instructions, and the message Tor more information about this game type RUN "START and press RETURN". The accompaying letter is short and precise. giving both the game and the piogiammei an efficient image.

Furthermore, there's a comprehensive hint sheet with game This is a great bonus and you should always Include a hint sheet or solution together with some general information about gameplay. I'm afraid that just because you may have spent six months writing a game doesn't mean that the evaluator is going to spend six months playing it You'll be lucky, frankly, if they spend six minutes on it.

This may sound grossly unfair, and you may claim that no-one can evaluate your masterpiece without playing it for at least a century The fact is. however, that any game worth its salt immediately proclaims that fact lrom the very first screen If that first sue minutes doesn't get the evaluator excited enough to carry on playing then he (or she) is going to load something else

Paul Lucas'game does grab attention from screen one by having a very attractive redesigned character set. tidy and professional text-layout, and clear, well-written location descriptions Even without graphics the program keeps the player involved long enough for the plot to cast its spell over you The story is a simple one (most good ideas are) and m the traditional mould of magic and evil-deeds, as you attempt to sve your village from the spell of a black magician.

Paul's decision to make the game text-only is a brave one. but he does his best to make up for it with the new character set and a number of useful commands including RAMSAVE. TAKE ALL and other syntax goodies. The puzzles are well thought out and quite challenging, though you shouldn't find casual exploration a problem You can get a copy from the address above lot £4 99 The Pilg thinks this a bit steep for a homebrew game, since there are some excellent games around for £2 99 these days, but if you've got a fiver to spend you'll get a good lesson in how to present your programs for evaluation, and the game isn't bad either'

However, you need to think very carefully about text-only games They really do need to have a very high standard of programming and authorship to stand a chance these days Steer clear erf them unless you're absolutely sure you've got what it takes

Now all you've got to do is check out the box on where to send your games, and keep you: lingers crossed.

L'Amstrad CPC est une machine 8 bits à base d'un Z80 à 4MHz. Le premier de la gamme fut le CPC 464 en 1984, équipé d'un lecteur de cassettes intégré il se plaçait en concurrent  du Commodore C64 beaucoup plus compliqué à utiliser et plus cher. Ce fut un réel succès et sorti cette même années le CPC 664 équipé d'un lecteur de disquettes trois pouces intégré. Sa vie fut de courte durée puisqu'en 1985 il fut remplacé par le CPC 6128 qui était plus compact, plus soigné et surtout qui avait 128Ko de RAM au lieu de 64Ko.
