Business not pleasure

THE MOST SENSIBLE motive for buying Hare-raiser is the sincere need to get rich.

The sole aim of the program is the discovery of a Golden Hare somewhere in the game landscape. Do not assume you are getting a fancy version of Kit Williams' Masquerade with complex
graphics and a vast expansive plot.

The 'game* consists of a number of lacklustre, stark and simple screens depicting the countryside, with an occasional hare bouncing around and then disappearing. At the bottom of each of those thoroughly dull pictures appears an obscure phrase which may or may not help you to find the hare — or your £30,000 in lieu.

If you decide to persist with the puzzle you will still have to buy a second program before completing it.

The cassette insert provides details on how to enter. The only instructions on screen tell you to follow the hare with cursor keys. There seems to be no evidence of the richness of the original book.

Quite honestly, it is rather difficult to understand why this program was produced at all, though cynics may draw their own conclusions. Me, I'm going to zap a few aliens instead.

Computer masquerade

A £30,000 golden hare is being offered as a prize in a game from a new company called Haresoft.

The game, called Hare-raiser, is in two pans and takes its plot from Masquerade, a best selling book by Kit Williamson. The author crafted a golden hare which was won by solving the picto-
rial clues within the book.

The same strategy is being employed for the game puzzle with one difference. In the original competition the winner load to dig up the hare. Haresoft, however, docs not want to encourage purchasers of the game digging up fields and ancient monuments.

AUTHOR: Jeff PENNELL

★ INFOS:

  • Joining the prize-giving bandwagon created by Kit Peddler's Golden Hare is Hare Raiser, from Haresoft. The prize is — the original golden hare (yes, again — its finder sold it).
  • “Hare Raiser will be an adventure puzzle, sold in two parts,” said Jeff. “The first part will be available at the end of June and the second twelve weeks later. Both parts of the puzzle will be needed to complete it.” The first person to send in a correct solution — the name of a secret location — plus two registration numbers that come the game will have a choice of either the hare or £30,000 as a prize.

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.
