Man At The Top A great deal happened at Commodore last year. The company released two new computers, the C16 and Plus/4. It moved to new and more prestigious premises in Corby, it received the Royal Warrant and saw the Commodore 64 yet again being voted 1984 Home Computer of the Year. But Commodore UK boss Howard Stanworth insists it's nothing to be complacent about.

So a games designer package like Scope, The Quill or Mirrorsoft's Games Creator might be an attractive answer, especially if it "lets you off" learning machine code. Roger Jones, himself a professional programmer, looks at all three and finds out whether they'll help him make a million - or at least a few bob. |
