Not published until June, this is a conversion of the Messers Gordon and McLean book of the same title for the Commodore 64. But this is much more than a games book, in fact, games over only 30 of the 344 pages. There's a lot here for the keen programmer, including programs for graphics, user-defined characters and data handling.

For the businessman, there's a large section covering tax calculation, stock control, and a suite of programs for a point-of-sale system. If that doesn't grab you, there are also sections for educational programs, recreation and domestic use, and science, including one that lets you calculate the value of a resistor by its colour code. For the money, this book's got a great deal to offer.
