SHOPPING FOR SOFTWARE? LOOK NO<br />
further than these pages. This month it<br />
seems as if there's never been a wider<br />
choice of program available and you have<br />
to congratulate the software houses in the<br />
ingenuity of their staff.<br />
Ariolasoft info<br />
Ariolasoft is making headlines and movies<br />
this month. Did you ever think that you<br />
could play at being Steven Spielberg<br />
with the aid of your C64? Movie Maker<br />
allows you to do just that. You can create<br />
your own animated pictures with the aid<br />
of this program. You probably won't<br />
make as much money as the great<br />
directors but you should have some fun.<br />
Claims for the program include:<br />
mixing text and graphics, creating tracks<br />
of up to 30 frame each, and combining six<br />
of these in a single animated sequence.<br />
There are also hundreds of built in<br />
pictures, ready for use plus the power to<br />
create your own. There are numerous<br />
animated greetings cards and a music and<br />
sound library. You can videotape your<br />
efforts and bore your friends with them -<br />
if you feel that way inclined.<br />
It's on twin disks and costs E16.95.<br />
Two other newies from this Covent<br />
Garden based house- they've just moved<br />
- are Starship Andromeda and<br />
Panzadrome.<br />
The latter is a futuristic war game set<br />
on a robot inhabited island. The Robots<br />
are tanks and hostile, of course, and you<br />
must build a better one in order to defeat<br />
them. Look out for mines and mortars.<br />
Panzadrome costs f8.95 and is a<br />
product of the programming and design<br />
skills of the Ramjam Corporation.<br />
Starship Andromeda sees you battling<br />
the evil tyrant Alana, who wears a crystal<br />
around her neck which just happens to be<br />
the security key to the great computer<br />
which controls the galaxy. A tough<br />
situation - especially since the only thing<br />
that will free the crystal is a Proton lance.<br />
Get the lance and get the crystal. Easy,<br />
huh?<br />
The program includes 12 arcade/<br />
strategy games and 10.000 locations. It's<br />
also E9.95.<br />
Not content with these launches,<br />
