Spectrum Special 1

All the programs on this cassette are enhanced versions of some described in their range of books for the Spectrum.

There are ten programs: Sink The Bismark, Wolf Puzzle, Character Builder, Tiger Hunt, Pie Chart, St. Moritz, Hidden Words, Towers Of Hanoi, Picasso and Statistics Made Simple. All these are very obviously book-type programs beccause they are very simple and relatively unimaginative. However, all the programs work reasonably well and illustrate various techniques of programming included in the books.

This cassette can only really be recommended as a supplement to the books if you do not wish to type the programs in.
