It is difficult to beat, unlike some other games we have received in the last few months. The authors have also included a shield for the laser bases at the bottom of the screen which can be activated if the going becomes difficult. High Noon is the best version of Shoot Out we have seen either for the ZX-81 or the Spectrum. The animation achieved as the two gunfighers try to shoot down each other among cacti and the wagons is very smooth. The game can be played with a human opponent or with the computer. Both games are for the 16K or 48K Spectrum.\r\n\r\nDo Not Pass Go is a version of that popular board game over which Waddingtons seems to have a Monopoly. The game is the same in most respects and the computer acts as the banker, debt collector and property broker. The computer will allow two to six players to try to find the road to riches - or rags as the case may be. Do Not Pass Go is for the 48K Spectrum.\r\n\r\nThe toolkit for the 16K and 48K Spectrum is called The Programmer's Dream. It will re-number programs, move blocks of lines to other parts of a program, erase one line or blocks of lines, change the values of strings in a program, list variable names and contents of a program, and display the size of a program and the amount of memory used to store variables.\r\n\r\nThe program is ideal for Basic program development work and works like a dream.\r\n\r\nBase Invaders and High Noon are available for £4.50 each. Do Not Pass Go costs £6.95 and The Programmer's Dream £6.95. All can be obtained from Work Force, [redacted].","ReviewerComments":[],"OverallSummary":"","Page":"37","Denied":false,"Award":"Not Awarded","Reviewers":[],"ScreenshotText":[],"BlurbText":[],"TranscriptBy":"Chris Bourne","ReviewScores":[{"Header":"Gilbert Factor","Score":"9/10","Text":""}],"CompilationReviewScores":[]},{"Issue":{"Name":"C&VG (Computer & Video Games) Issue 17, Mar 1983","Price":"£0.75","ReleaseDate":"1983-02-16","Editor":"Terry Pratt","TotalPages":100,"HasCoverTape":false,"FlannelPanel":"Editor: Terry Pratt\r\nStaff Writer: Eugene Lacey\r\nEditorial/Publishing Assistant: Susan Cameron\r\nDesigner: Linda Freeman\r\nProduction Editor: Tim Metcalfe\r\nAdvertisement Manager: Rita Lewis\r\nAdvertising Executive: John Phillips, Louise Matthews\r\nAdvertisement Assistant: Louise Flockhart\r\nPublisher: Tom Moloney\r\n\r\nEditorial and Advertisement Offices: [redacted]\r\n\r\nCOMPUTER AND VIDEO GAMES POSTAL SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE.

With your sheriff's badge gleaming in the bright sunlight you step bravely forward.\r\n\r\nWho knows what may be lurking behind the shutters of the saloon, the undertakers, and the offices of the stagecoach company.\r\n\r\nYou'll need a quick finger on your trigger as the desperados appear from behind windows and walls to take pot shots at you.\r\n\r\nBut shoot straight as the good people of the town are also in hiding and a stray bullet could easily kill any one of them.\r\n\r\nHigh Noon is the latest game from Abbex Software for the Sinclair Spectrum and runs in 16 or 48K.\r\n\r\nAlso new from Abbex this month is a classic Adventure entitled Austs Folley and a robot shoot-out game called Android Run.\r\n\r\nAll three games are available from the London based firm at £4.95.","ReviewerComments":[],"OverallSummary":"","Page":"17","Denied":false,"Award":"Not Awarded","Reviewers":[],"ScreenshotText":[],"BlurbText":[],"TranscriptBy":"Chris Bourne","ReviewScores":null,"CompilationReviewScores":[]}]}]
