Government
praise for
Konix
PETER Walker, Secretary of
State for Wales, opened a
new Konix joystick factory in
Gwent at the beginning of
the year. With him was
Michael Foot.
They congratulated the
Chairman of KOniX
r Wyn
Rol.
loway and his wife Sandra
on building up the company,
which in two years has
grown from nothing to a
600,000 a month turnover.
The new factory is good
news for the 100 people of
South Wales who are
employed there and for the
British balance of payments,
since 90 per cent of their
production is exported.
Peter Walker, Michael Foe:, Wpn and San
way
Gremlin
takes the
Mickey
MICKEY Mouse is Gremlin's
latest licenced character. The
game is set in Disney Castle
where four evil witches.
under the power of the Ogre
King, have stolen Merlin's
wand to do evil deeds.
The wand has been used
to cast a spell over the land
so that the Ogre king can
reign supreme. For the spell
to remain cast the wand has
been broken into four pieces
and given to the witches to
guard in the four towers of
the castle.
The witches have stolen all
but the last fl agon of
enchanted water and use it
to create evil guardians to
help keep the towers secure.
Merlin has enlisted you in
the role of Mickey to use the
last of the water to recover
the wand and free the land
by defeating the Ogre King.
Armed with the water, you
can dissolve the witches' evil
guardians, ogres, ghosts,
spells and ghoolies. A more
permanent death can be
afflicted upon ogres with a
swift clonk of your club.
Ghosts will exercise their
ability to walk through walls
and floors in an attempt to
relieve you of you magic
water.
Disneyland can only hold
out against the forces of evil
for a limited time, so you
must rush to retrieve the
entire wand from the castle
and then hot foot it across
the lake of fire over the
Devil's bridge to defeat the
Ogre King and save Dis-
neyland,
Mickey Mouse will cost
f9.99 on tape and E1.1„99 on
disc.
Arnor s new launch
OWNERS of Protext and
Promerge will be able to
benefit from Arnor's first
CPC product launch since
December.
The disc.based package
forms an office utility suite. It
can generate invoices from a
Protext file, merging names
and addresses from a separ-
ate database.
There are facilities for
statements, credit notes and
delivery notes, a particularly
flexible label print routine
and a sort program which is
tailored for use with names
and addresses.
The programs are all writ-
ten using Promerge codes
and can be adapted simply
by a fairly techie user to suit
custom needs.
The same disc can be used
either on a CPC with Protext
and Promerge or on a CPC
and PCW running CP/M.
The package should be
available in April at E24.95.
Freescape tides again
INCENTIVE Software is to
follow up its smash hit game
Driller with another title
which uses the Freescape 3D
modelling system.
The new title is The Dark
Side, Ian Andrews, boss of
Incentive, is keeping the
details under his hat, but
would admit that the new
game will be a good deal
cheaper than Driller at
around 00 and will utilise
some of advances they have
made with the Fteescape
system.
