All the different types of stock you will
ever require for your promenade shops are
displayed here, You can set the amount of
stock you wish to order using the arrow

ENTERTAINMENT
You can book an act for your theatre any
day of the week in readiness for the Sunday
show night Scroll through the acts by clicking
on the arrows on the left of the screen,
and when you have chosen one simply dick
on the cash and the act will be booked, the

can see all the people piling into it, along
After the Hil!sea Lido demo has been copied onto a
blank disk you will be able to do the same process for
our demo version of the shareware game Tritus. Just
wait until you are prompted to insert a blank disk and
then hit return.
TRITUS DEMO
Author: Davin Pearson
Workbench2.04
So you think you are a hard Tetris player do
you? Well, as the old saying goes, you ain't
seen nothing yet. Tritus is a bit of a turbo
nutter, fuel-injected Tetris, a power-upped,
monster-infested, multi-player, evil addictive
game. Once you start you cannot stop.
Tritus is a simultaneous three-player
Tetris-style game, but with a twist or two
and the odd surprise up its sleeve. When
you first start the game and get past the
initial intro you will see three game areas
with a press fire message.
Tritus can have up to three players on at
once, but do not worry if you have no
Ch
with all the lovely dosh you will be making.
You can hire various individuals to work
on a casual basis. The left-hand side of the
screen applies to the promenade and the
right to the beach. Find out more information
about each character with the LMB,
and the hire button will do just that - hire
people.
The tourist screen allows you to find out
all sort of information about the people that
come to visit your beach. Each tourist gives
seven ratings on your beach. When they
visit a shop three bars appear rating the
politeness of the staff, pricing, and how
clean the shops and beach are. The other
four at the bottom of the screen relate to
how much they want of the following:
sugar, hunger, thirst and souvenirs. They will
also tell you what they would like you to
build next, and the customer is always right
- so you'd better listen.
If you think you can save money by being
a skin flint and not paying cleaning and
repair bills, think again. Regular health and
INSTALLING TRITUS DEMO
Once this has finished, if you reset your machine you
will be able to play Tritus from this disk. Hard drive
users will again be pleased to know that Tritus is hard
drive installable. To copy the game on to your hard
drive, from Workbench, open up the Tritus disk window
friends, or that no-one is around to play as
the computer will take control of the remaining
players. If you do play against the
computer you can cheat and get a few seconds
head start by quickly hitting your fire C Threeployer action
button - that is if you are the sort of person NOM Tritus

safety checks will fine lax beach owners over
dirty or dangerous shops and rides. Once a
ride has been fined, the warning never goes
unless you demolish it. If you let things
really slip you could even injure or poison
someone, and then you will be fined even
more.
and then drag the Tritus drawer to whichever destination
drawer you want it to go in. You will then be able
to open up the Tritus drawer and double-click on the
cute icon. It will even quit back to the Workbench.
who does cheat Once you are off the mark
the idea of the game is the same as Tetris,
that by filling up a full horizontal line you will
remove it, but in this game doing that adds a
line to your competitors' areas. If you manage
to do five lines in one go, the most possible,
you are congratulated with a screen shuddering
thud and a flash guitar rift
It does not stop there. Every now and again
a little blue greet* will drop down everyones
screen and start to eat away at your block,
destroying all the hard work you have done.
To stop it just drop a block on its sorry head,
and watch it go squish with all its bodily fluids
dribbling down the screen - mmmmm.
Finally, there are other power-ups available
such as giving your enemies horribly shaped
blocks for a short time, or making all their
blocks invisible.
