other players as designed and drawn by
you (or select from a medley of creatures
on the Arcade Machine disk). Dramatic
shoot-' em-up explosions and sound effects,
automatic scoring and high score
features, fat-loading auto-boot to title page.
Colorful title page with your title and name
in large graphic letters (like other Broderbund
games). One or two player options,

Computer Baseball has won Electronic
Games Magazines 1982 Award for Best
Computer Sports Game. Designed for the
Apple II and /// home computers, Computer
Baseball lets you manage your own
team or an historical major league team.
Each manager has a variety of offensive
plays to choose from, including the suice
squeeze, bunting, stealing a base, or running
the bases conservatively or aggressively,
to name just a few. Defensively, he
may choose between a number of ways to
play his infield and outfield, choose
whether or not to pitch to power hitters,
and he can even go to his bullpen for a
relief pitcher. The relief pitcher won't be
worth much on the moound, though, if
the manager has not given him sufficient
time to warm up. The computer can act as
manager of one team for solitaire play, or
it can manage both teams at once. At your

The Road to Gettysburg is a boardassisted
computer game which effectively
simulates the feel of command of an
American Civil War army. The only means
of communication a commander has with
his troops is the frustrating dispatch system
that generals had to contend with in
1863. Knowledge of troop positions
comes only from reconaissance reports.
Players must deal with misinterpretation
of orders and even disobedience from
corps commanders (played by the computer)
whose abilities are based on historical
factors. Weather and fatigue affect the
corps' morale and may even result in
"straggling." Thus, a player must be careful
about which march mode he chooses
for his troops. Two scenarios are available:
(I) the week long campaign allowing a
great deal of movement strategy, and (2)
the actual three-day Battle of Gettysburg
where combat strategies prevail. There is
also a solitaire scenario for players who
wish to test their skills against the computer-$59.

Pursuit of the Graf Spee is a simulation of
the maneuvers and battles of the famous
German pocket battleship in the South
Atlantic in 1939. The Graf Spee attempts
to destroy as many merchant ships as
possible without being sighted by Allied
warships. Players experience the real feel ·
of the chase, with each ship rated for
speed and strength, with fuel restrictions
and refueling capabilities, and a realistic
system for visibility and sighting. The
game includes a chase-oriented scenario
and a combat oriented scenario simulating
the Battle of the River Plate. The 19 x
19 square grid map is displayed in Hi-Res
graphics-$59.95. Requres a 48K Apple II

Audex is a collection of sound effect utility
programs that allows you to create sounds,
edit them, and play them back from your
own BASIC or Assembly language programs.
Use the keyboard and the graphics
screen to " draw" sounds and edit them.
These can be tones, squalks, thumps or
anything you choose. You can also take
sounds from the Apple cassette input and
edit portions of this audio data for use as
sound effects. Connect short sounds together
into more complex and extended
audio interludes. With it you can create
warbling sounds, musical tunes and even
synthesize speech. Relocatable machine
language routines allow you to easily reproduce
sound effects, musical tones or
speech segments from within your own
Applesoft programs. At your local dealer
or contact: Sirius Software, 10364 Rockingham
Drive, Sacramento, CA 95827

GRAPHICS
The Graphics Magician is a software
package that lets you create smooth animation
in your own programs. Add graphics
to adventure games (or any other
program that requires many pictures and
objects to be easily and quickly accessible),
and create and use a new type of
Apple shape table. The animation routines
give you the power to easily program
smooth, machine language animation ...
even from BASIC. You can easily build
object and path tables, then load them
with our routines into your programs.
These routines have the same animation
techniques used in the best Apple arcade
games. Includes a picture/ object editor
that allows you to create Hi-Res pictures
and objects in over 100 colors, and save
hundreds of them on a single disk to be
quickly recalled and reconstructed. The
shape editor allows you to create a new
type of shape table that includes color and
angles that are preserved on scaling and
rotations. Shapes in these tables are more
compact than those in normal Apple
shape tables and the subroutines used to
display them can be used in your own
programs-$59.95. Penguin Software,

The Apple Flasher, a powerful software
package, is used to locate and display
standard Apple II high resolution graphic
files from DOS 3.3 disks. The program
bypasses ordinary DOS routines in order
to display files as pictures in about 1.5
seconds each. Display modes include: ( 1)
single key selection of any file on disk, (2)
continuous scan of all files on disk with
new picture on screen every 1.5 seconds,
(3) carousel projector simulation controlled
by either of the game controllers
(or the keyboard) to display screens from
1 or 2 drives with instant access to both
next and previous "slide," (4) and continuous
display of all screens on 1 or 2 drives
(up to 30 pictures) with individual control
of display time for each picture as used in
advertising displays, etc. Requires Apple II
Plus or Apple II with ROM Applesoft, 1 or 2
disk drives and DOS 3.3. Game controllers
for projector simulation optional­
