IF YOU READ THE BOOK...

Melbourne house, the publisher, has a range of software cassettes to supplement a range of microcomputer books it has just launched. Spectrum 3 is a tape which contains several of the programs printed in the book Over the Spectrum.

The first two programs, Leapfrog and Number Reversal, are very simple games and use block graphics, no colour and no sound. The idea behind both is to get into correct order a number of randomly-situated objects, such as numbers or frogs, which are in a line. To do so you enter the number of items you want swapped.

The other programs on the tape are much better and make up for the simplicity of the first games.

Over The Spectrum 3 should be used in conjunction with the book of the same name. In that way the user will learn about the programs in the book.

The tape costs £4.95 and is available from Melbourne House Group, Glebe Cottage, Station Road, Cheddington, Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire LU7 7NA.
