It might not seem to be the most interesting<br />
subject on which to base a CanDo presentation<br />
but, in actual fact, How To Tie Dye is a<br />
readable, informative and absorbing disk.<br />
More and more tie-dyed clothes are in<br />
evidence these days, and if you fancy having<br />
a crack at producing your own, this is an<br />
ideal place to stall.<br />
The main menu offers information on how<br />
to get started, the various techniques which<br />
can be employed to produce different<br />
colourful effects, and the decisions you'll<br />
need to make along the way. As well as<br />
simple text (overlaid, of course, on suitably<br />
garish backdrops) there are black-and-white<br />
digitised pictures and diagrams, some of<br />
which can be clicked on to bring up more<br />
facts and advice. How To Tie Dye so<br />

impresseo me, in fact, that for a moment I<br />
even toyed with the idea of having a stab at<br />
it myself, until the realisation dawned that<br />
I'm completely pathetic at that sort of thing.<br />
Still, if you're not, then How To Tie Dye is<br />
strongly recommended. It comes on two<br />
disks and requires at least Workbench 2.<br />

Scarcely a month goes by without at least<br />
one updated version of a golden oldie<br />
tumbling gently through the Public Sector<br />
postbox. This time, it's the turn of that<br />
arcade gem Defender to make a welcome<br />
reappearance.<br />
Just in case you've never encountered<br />
Defender (admittedly a rather unlikely<br />
scenario), the aim is to protect a planet<br />
from alien invaders who seek to steal precious<br />
canisters of, erm, something or<br />
other. Basically, the idea is to shoot the<br />
beasties into lots of tiny pieces.<br />
Yes, high speed blasting action is the<br />
order of the day, and it's as tough and<br />
unforgiving as can be. Simply hurtling<br />
through each level blasting frantically<br />
won't get you very far, although you'll<br />
have to take extra care when carefully<br />
combing the planetscape because Phantom doesn't feature the scanner that many such games<br />
do. Decent enough graphics and some nice atmospheric music are the icing on the cake.<br />
Phantom's a worthy purchase, although since it's shareware you really should send the author a<br />
fiver as a registration fee.<br />
