URIDIUM: "Who is that masked<br />
Manta fighter pilot?" He's the lone<br />
defender of a planetary sector which<br />
consists of fifteen planets which are<br />
being systematically exploited because<br />
of their "uridium" deposits. As that<br />
lone Manta pilot, each player must<br />
strive to eliminate fifteen different Super-Dreadnought<br />
ships at each planet.<br />

DISK TECHNICIAN: This is certainly<br />
not a game, but it might save your<br />
hard disk system. DT repairs damaged<br />
sectors, detects single errors (DOS<br />
won't catch them until there are at<br />
least ten), monitors marginal snots in<br />
order to keep them from becoming<br />
major problems, and attempts to recover<br />
lost data. Besides these functions,<br />
the disk contains a 700 byte<br />
memory-resident program called<br />
SafePark (tm) which automatically<br />
moves the hard disk to a safe zone at<br />
any time there is no hard disk activity<br />
for seven seconds or more. This protects<br />
the disk from loss of data due to<br />
power spikes or power loss. IBM<br />
($99.95). Circle Reader Service #11.<br />

KURSK CAMPAIGN: Like Stalingrad<br />
Campaign (reviewed elsewhere in this<br />
<strong>issue</strong>), this offering from SimCan is a<br />
command study of the eastern front in<br />
<strong>World</strong> War II. The historical events<br />
are chronologically later than Stalingrad<br />
Campaign, but the system relies<br />
on the same basic emphasis of limited<br />
intelligence which characterizes the<br />
other game. Apple, IBM ($60.00). Circle<br />
