The Golden Maggot

Win the coveted Golden Maggot trophy in P. Todhunter's fishing
simulation. Choose bait and depth of hook according to weather, and
then sit back and wait for a bite. Use key 1 to strike for fish, Q for
a short cast and A for a long cast. The Golden Maggot runs on a 48K
Spectrum or Spectrum Plus, and experienced programmers should find it
easy to include more details of baits and fish.

Devil's Disks

Play the Devil for your soul in Devil's Disks by D. Cunningham of Rhyl
in Clwyd. The two-player strategy game uses an unusual method of
movement. You must get your four disks across the board by moving into
coloured squares, but you can only move onto a square of the same
colour as the three in front of your opponent's pieces. Each move you
make alters the possibilities for the other player, so great care and
skill is required to win. Devil's Disks runs on a 48K Spectrum or
Spectrum Plus, and with a randomly coloured board every game is
different.

Flower Power

Win the heart of your loved one with a bunch of flowers. However, you
must deal with monstrous spiders while picking the flowers. Flower
Power, written by I.D. Birdsey of Wallsend, Tyne and Wear, runs on any
Spectrum. There are two listings. Type in the first and SAVE it. Then
type in the second, which generates two machine code routines and
automatically SAVEs them after the main listing.

LIGHT SHOW (16K Spectrum)
by Paul Munro
from Sinclair User 43 (October 1985), page 91

Turn your Spectrum on to music with Light Show by Paul Munro of Salford.
Load in the program and RUN it - you should see a completely black screen.
With the tape leads arranged for loading a program, play a tape of music
through your cassette recorder, and the screen will spring to life with
colourful patterns to the beat.

Rocks!

The gigantic astral gibbon of Aldebaran 4 is throwing green rocks at
you. He's been hired by the man-eating molluscs of Rigel to get you.
They've also got heat-seeking missiles. Tough. So - use keys B and N
to dodge, and Caps Shift to fire at the missiles and rocks. C. Clarke
of Oldham in Lancashire wrote Rocks, which runs on any Spectrum. It's
in full machine-code and was written with the OCP Editor/Assembler.
