Babyfrog (Unknown author)

A frog's hard life

This is a very original Tron-like game. You're a frog that must live her eggs (the little black dots) along the screen in order to preserve her species.

With the keys O, P, Q, A and M to jump you control the frog avoiding walls and othe robjects that can turn up at any moment. Select game speed (1-5) and if you want to start from starting phase (p) or any other (f). In this last case, you can choose one of the five levels the game has. Jump to avoid your own eggs or traps.

Good luck. The frog race is in your hands.

Boxer By unknown author

The fight of the century - Tyson vs Jones - will be in the Madison 'Squard' (?) Garden

A boxing game in BASIC? Yes, your long-awaited dream has come true! A 2-players-only game (player vs Spectrum would have been cool), ten rounds (1 minute per round) and too many keys (8) to control.

Player 1:
Movements: Q,A,Z,X - hits: 1,2,3,4

Player 2:
Movements: O,L,N,M - hits: 7,8,9,0

The last game of this issue (At last!!! -Ed) is a car racing game. With the same pespective as Pole Position, you must control a F1 car with only two keys: O & P.

So the aim of the game is finishing the race avoiding coming out of the bend and crashing other cars, all in a certain time. No speed up, no brakes. Really.

A bit boring, as you can guess.

That's all about issue #7. See you in the next issue!

That Boxer loading screen is a candidate for the 'loading screens that are a bit rubbish' thread...
