NO, II'S NOT THE YOUR COMMODORE

bumper summer annual, even though our

cover might mislead you into thinking so.

But, with those hot and heady summer

days approaching, we hope to show what

fun computers can be.

This is a period which has seen the

reappearance of the Commodore name

in the business market. The 16-bit PC (the

PC10 or PC20, depending on whether you

opt for a ﬂoppy or hard disc version) has

been knocking around for a while now

and Commodore's darling of the Las

Vegas CES show in January, the C128, is

due for release pretty shortly. With a

machine which is compatible with the 64

and also capable of running under CP/M,

Commodore must feel they've got a

certain hit on their hands. We'll have to

wait and see. In the meantime, read our

sneak preview and judge for yourself.

But, for all you pleasure-seeking

readers who can't turn your minds to such

serious things at this time of year, we're

offering welcome release from the daily

grind. With our jolly June competition,

we hope to get you in the mood for the

holiday season.

Computer camps are deﬁnitely in

vogue. Two which include tuition on

Commodore computers in their curricula

are Camp Beaumont and Ardmore

Adventure. Both incorporate a couple of

hours computing a day with sport

and creative activities such as drama,

video-ﬁlm making and arts and crafts.

These camps are geared to the under 17

year olds but Ardmore do offer weekend

or week breaks at Crest Hotels in the

Thames Valley, where special courses are

offered in computing. Children can stay

here with their parents free of charge.

But, these courses can set you back

anything from (128 to 088 for a week,

depending on where you go. Thank

goodness then, that such warm-hearted

and generous souls preside at Ardmore

Adventure Ltd. They have offered Your

Commodore a free week-long residential

holiday at one of their computer camps.

And because there was so much gnashing

of teeth, shedding of tears and general

anarchy in the hallowed Your

Commodore ofﬁces over who was

going to take it, and, basically, because

we're all well over the age of 16 anyway

(even though people tell us we look years

to keep you all happy every month. But,

we're offering a new glimmer of hope to

those of you who missed out the ﬁrst time

around. From September, we will offer a

prize to the reader who submits the best

review of the month, whether favourable

or disfavourable, of their latest software

purchase. So, get writing!

The time has also come for you to

show off your high scores. Arcade

supremo, Phil South, might imagine that

nobody is faster than him on the joystick-

draw, but I'm sure that many of you can

deﬂate his ego. Send in your high scores

(witnessed, please)... and, anyone

boasting a ridiculously high score will be

lured into the labyrinthine lodgings of

Your Commodore to prove their case. Be

warned!

And ﬁnally, let's end on a note of utter

confusion and silliness with confusion

reigning over the release date of

Incentive's game, Confuzion, which they

now assure us, is in its ﬁnal stages and will

be up for grabs at the end of May, and the

prize for the silliest computer game title 3

factory. Watch this space!

younger...), we're giving away our

holiday to the lucky Your Commodore

reader who wins ﬁrst prize in our 'holiday

of a lifetime' competition! Now, there's a

chance you shouldn't miss!

At long last, we've endeavoured to

cheer up those readers who, having

acquired a spanking new C16 at

Christmas, were beginning to think they

had a white elephant on their hands.

These readers include N. Clayola from

Malta who complains, "I have noticed

that most games listings are for the

Commodore 64 or VIC 20. Why not some

for the Plus/4?" (which is, of course,

compatible with the C16), and Mr. A.

Beales who asks of the C16, "Is it extinct

before it is born?". Well, not only are we

treating C16 games freaks to a bevy of

software reviews but, for those of you

who wish to put your new machine to

more constructive use, we've provided

your very own assembler to type in.

When we advertised in Your

Commodore for reviewers, we were

inundated with requests. So many, in fact,

that hundreds of you were left

disappointed as software houses aren't

proliﬁc enough and our magazine isn't

large enough to provide enough fodder
