RALLY SPEEDWAY ''^''"'
by John Anderson
Watch out, Mario Andretti! Here comes RALLY
SPEEDWAY — a full-color car racing simulation for all
ATARI 400, 800 and 1200 computers! After conquering sea
and sky, the mad mind behind the hit APPLE programs
SEA DRAGON and REAR GUARD has dropped the flag for
ground-level thrills Monte Carlo style!
A colorful, scrolling roadscape serves as an exciting
backdrop for fun-injected action — choose one of several
different courses provided or "construct" your own.
Players are challenged to hot rod their joystick-controlled
cars down grueling straightaways, around hairpin corners
and past an ever-changing landscape that includes
houses, lakes, orchards and more. Work on improving your
lap time with a solo game, or invite a friend along for a one-
on-one duel to the finish line — there's plenty of excite-
ment to go around!
The action has never been faster, the competition
never keener than in this sensational simulation. For flat-
out fun, there's only one racing game that really delivers —
RALLY SPEEDWAY! (Relax, Mom — no helmet required!)

STRATOS r^t%
ATARI and COMMODORE 64 Versions by Neil Larimer COM. 64
TRS-80 Version by John E. Cominio
Far above the clean, sweeping lines of a futuristic megalopolis, the
first wave of craft from another world falls from the sides. Ivlethodically, they
work the skyline, releasing the most awesome of weaponry: the terrifying
matter ravagers! Instantly, the energy envelope surrounding the city is
punctured and several skyrisers sustain serious damage. The first step in the
havoc complete, the pulsating vessels disappear into hyperspace as quickly
as they had come. But in the span of a few brief seconds, more appear to
recreate anew the terrible destruction. . . .
This is STRATOS — a kaleidoscopic explosion of awesome graphics
and other-worldly sounds that's light-years beyond any arcade-type game
you've ever seen on your micro! This joystick-compatible funfest puts you in
TOTAL control of the devastating Armageddon Wave — the only weapon
capable of decimating the attacking alien ships. STRATOS comes loaded with
the professional features you've come to expect, including one or two player
option, high score save, and mind-melting sounds.
Designed for the home arcader who takes his action white-hot, you can
be certain the thrills don't let up with this scorcher! STRATOS — look to the
skies and prepare for the battle that will shred the universe!!!

Secure all hatches! Prepare to dive! Sea Dragon is a slick, arcade-ish simulation that
puts you in command of a nuclear sub that's armed to the hilt with deadly missiles and
torpedoes. You guide your submarine past underwater mountains and through labyrinthine
passages while avoiding webs of explosive mines that rise from the seabottom. Additional
dangers include mine-dropping ships, enemy attack stations, falling stalactites, and deadly
lasers — any of which could keep you from your ultimate goal: destruction of the incredibly
powerful nuclear reactor at the end of the undersea course! Maneuver around these
dangerous obstacles and surface to refuel your ever-diminishing air supply — if you can!
You want variety? You got it! Sea Dragon boasts a scrolling seabottom that extends the
equivalent of over two dozen screens laid end-to-end. And two-player option, sounds and high
score save feature go hand in hand with the kind of graphics you've come to expect from
Adventure International.
Not for the taint-hearted. Sea Dragon is your best bet for underwater thrills and chills.
Action-plus from Adventure International!

BY CHAMELEON SOFTWARE
Atari version by David Simmons
MACES & MAGIC are fantasy adventures involving you and your computer. Armed only with your wits, a microcomputer, and
ttie software provided, you can become the hero or the meal your destiny dictates. You create a character, equip him (or her) with
suitable weapons and armor, and enter the dungeon in search of fame and fortune. Neither is particularly easy to obtain.
If you are successful in avoiding or conquering the various monsters, traps, enchantments and illusions set by our nefarious
dungeonmasters, you may escape with riches and glory. Your name and deeds will be recorded for posterity in the records of the
dungeon. More importantly, you'll be alive. You may then use the same character in his more experienced and wealthy form when
you enter dungeons on later occasions.
In each dungeon there are random events which occur, but in the vast majority of cases the skill of the player in making cor-
rect choices determines the outcome of the game. The majority of instructions are furnished within the program in the form of ap-
propriate prompts.
There are many ways to meet an untimely demise in the dungeon. Monsters and such are just one of the lines of defense bet-
ween you and the treasures stored there. Various traps await the unwary (and the wary too). Some are lethal, while others are
merely unpleasant or inconvenient. It pays to be suspicious. Beware of ores bearing gifts.
The object of the whole exercise is not just to fight the monsters and collect treasure. You have to get out alive to enjoy it.
Take heart, though. There's at least one exit to be found in every dungeon, and the possibility of escaping unscathed does exist.
We state that fact here because players often believe this not to be true. We really aren't out to get you. Not really. .
Once you successfully exit from the dungeon, you will have an opportunity to save your character for further adventures in
this and other dungeons. Your treasures will be converted to their gold equivalent and your weapons and armor stored in bat
guano. When you start another adventure, you may call up your experienced character for another trip. The only limitation is that
once a character is killed, he may reincarnated three times; after that, he is gone forever. No second chances, no tears, no breast
beating. Gone. Kaput. Finished. You will have the distinction of adding to the dungeon statistics, however. A sort of secondhand
immortality in recognition of a nice try. No glory or cash though.

BUG OFF!
ATARI
Atari Version
by Sparky Starks
Looking for somethtng really different? BUG OFF! Do you demand great, quality
graphics? BUG OFF! Are you ready tor more fun than you can shake a walking stick at?
BUG OFF! Heavens no. were not getting personal — we're just announcing the newest
and perhaps wackiest arcade-style game to hit the ATARI yet — BUG OFF!
This is one game that will bug the heck out of you — but enjoyably so! Your garden
has fallen into a Florida sinkhole where weird forces have mutated a bevy of bizarre
bugs into a contingent of killers! In this case, relief is spelled D-D-T, and you'll need
oodles of it to dispatch these pesky pests!
BUG OFF literally buzzes with excitement with pincer-sharp graphics and more
colors than an exploding paint factory! The object of the game is to control the seven
different types of bugs that are threatening to run helter-skelter over everything. And
what an assortment there is! Butterflies and moths spin deadly cocoons; caterpillers
drop teeny-weeny lady bugs by the score, and spiders and wasps add a sinister touch to
the rabble roster. IF you're lucky, the Army will airlift in more DDT in time; if not — well,
we wont talk about that!
So, grab onto your joystick and brace yourself for the battle that'll shake your
house to Its (hopefully treated) foundation! BUG OFF! The only bugs around no one
minds in their computer!

TRS-80 Version by Dave Simmons
Color Computer Version by Roger Schrag
"Yas. after purchasing diamond mmes m South Africa, oil wells in Saudi, and rare
beer cans in Walla Walla. Washington. I had begun to wonder as to what other trendy
commodities remained to be added to my swelling portfolio Then a snip of a ticket girl
dared to tell me (ME' Hartley J. Wormsflather III') that my flight was overbooked. To
avoid future misunderstandings. I bought the airline.
"/ think I'm onto something profitable here. " Hartley J. Wormsfather III
Enter the intriguing world of high finance where even the sturdiest of corporate
empires can dissolve as quickly as they're built. AIRLINE is a no-holdsbarred strategy
game for one to four players. The object is to construct a sizable empire while
competing against human and/or computerized opponents. Players purchase landing
rights from any one of 36 major U.S. cities, buy planes and then station them on routes
that will maximize their revenue from fares. And unlike many strategy games, the
outcome of AIRLINE is solely determined by your playing skills. That's right, no random
element is involved — meaning no untimely upsets or surprises!
AIRLINE — something different from Adventure International!

Cash Register
Inventory System
by Scott Adams
'We've used this system in our retail store for over a year now, and it's great"
— Pete Bender, Manager Adventure International Computer Store
The computer age comes to your retail business via C.R.I. S. (Cash Register Inven-
tory System) — a complete software package that will literally convert your ATARI
400. 800 or 1200 into a total point-of-sales terminal. With C.R.I.S., you can perform vir-
tually any of the functions found on standard register systems costing up to 10 times
the price. But C.R.I.S. is also a complete inventory control system, too! Information
on backorders, total items sold, items in stock, stock ordered, vendor numbers — it's
all here and at your fingertips. C.R.I.S. also prints complete inventory reports, in-
cluding purchase order, stock inventory, end of period. AND it will print customer
sales receipts, just like the "Big tvlachines " do! Here's more:
* Holds up to 1000 separate inventory items (2000 with C.R.I.S. Ill)
* Supports up to 10 salesmen (up to 25 with C.R.I.S. Ill)
* User-defined commission rate based on total sales and is individualized to each
salesman
* Accepts stock name of up to 20 characters in length
* Up to 16 items can be listed on each invoice
* End of Day. End of Period, and Purchase Order reports can be generated at any
time
* Easy error correction and recovery
* Many "password-protected" functions to help prevent accidental data loss
* Calculates totals on sales tickets and computes change
* Comes complete in an attractive binder with user-friendly documentation
* Requires only 1 disk drive (2 required for C.R.I.S. Ill)
And now, included with each and every copy of C.R.I.S. I is C.R.I.S. III. This latest
version features the dependability of C.R.I.S. I with a dramatic increase in storage
capacity. Since C.R.I.S. Ill requires an additional 8K of memory (for a total of 40K) and
two disk drives, you can purchase C.R.I.S. I for use now on your one-drive. 32K system,
and move up to C.R.I.S. Ill whenever you decide to expand your system. It's actually
three programs for the price of one!
Completely menu-driven. C.R.I.S. doesn't require a degree in computer science to
use; its easy-to-follow manual will lead the user step-by-step from initial power-up to
final report generation.
If you manage a small business and have ever considered "going computer."
now is the time to move up to the finest in point-of-sales and inventory management
— now is the time to move up to C.R.I.S.

ARMORED
PATROL
by Wayne Westmoreland & Terry Gilman
If you think you've seen it all game-wise, then Adventure
International has a program for you! ARMORED PATROL is a
3-D arcade-style game that is a definite heavyweight in the
action department! Your mission is to patrol your sector and
destroy all enemy tanks and robots with your tank's high
energy plasma weapon. Fueling the excitement is a realistic
you-are-there perspective that lets the player view the action
from the inside of his powerful T-36 tank as it prowls an alien
landscape in search of the waiting enemy. ARMORED
PATROL is packed with lots of extras, including running
score tally, sound, and high score display. But the most im-
pressive feature of ARMORED PATROL is the incredible
graphics which create the total illusion of movement and
dimension. ARMORED PATROL accomodates one or two
players so you can share the action with a friend!

THE SEARCH FOR
ELSOLIADO
by Stefan Schramm
THE SEARCH FOR ELSOLIADO Is just that — an Interstellar
quest for an uncharted world. Since Elsoliado cannot be found by
pure chance, information concerning its whereabouts must be pur-
chased from deep-space Starbases — information which frequently
sports an exorbitant price tag.
During the voyage, a variety of aliens will be encountered. Add
to your coffers with a little trading, but be prepared to strike ag-
gressively should the situation warrant It. Survive, and you may yet
discover the fabled Elsoliado!
THE SEARCH FOR ELSOLIADO's unique game design — a
perfect hybrid of strategy and arcade action — will enthral young
and old alike for hours. And quick machine language graphics, "com-
puter" updates and a polnt-of-view perspective will ably assist all
keyboard commandos.
Your search for unique entertainment Is at an end. THE
SEARCH FOR ELSOLIADO — something new for 1983 from Adven-
ture International.

Here's the one youve been waiting for — a new arcade-style game that's practically nine
games in one! But don't take our word for it — pre-release testing results were unanimous:
TRIAD, our testers said, is "incredible."
The Imaginative game scenario centers around a master tic-tac-toe board. You can score
an "X " by selecting and successfully battling one of nine weird foes. Three X's in a row and
Bingo! — you automatically advance to the next level! But the core of TRIAD is the colorful hi-
resolution graphics and great sounds that animate and energize the battle scenes. They
simply have to be experienced firsthand!
TRIAD excells in the "trills department," too — keyboard or joystick option, game freeze,
running high score and more. But that's not all, no sir! A succession of teeth-gritting skill
levels is guaranteed to test the eye-to-hand coordination of the most valiant of armchair
warriors.
Don't let your computer fall into disuse — perk it up with TRIAD — the latest class act

The Adventure Series: An Overview
By definition, an adventure is a dangerous or risky undertaking; a novel, exciting, or otherwise remarkable event or experience.
On your personal computer. Adventure Is that and more.
Playing any of the Adventure series consists of three elements: you. the user; the games themselves; and the author, Scoft
Adams of Orlando. Florida
In beginning any Adventure, you will find yourself in a specific location: a forest, on board a small spaceship, outside a tun
house, in the briefing room of a nuclear plant, in a desert, etc. The lop portion of your video display will tell you where you are and
what you can see; the bottom section of the display is devoted to inputting commands to your robot computer and receiving
messages that may arise as the result of your orders. You have to get used to looking at both the top and bottom portions in order to
find out what's going on in the game but it doesn't take long for the reading to become a reflex. In (act. you will have to live In those
imaginary worlds.
By using two word commands you move from location to location (called "rooms " although some rooms represent outdoor
Mios such as a swamp), manipulate objects that you find in the different rooms (pick them up, put them down, carry them. etc.). and
: erform actions as if you were really there.
_ _ The object of a game is to amass treasure for points or accomplish some other poal
such as preventing the destruction of the automated nuclear plant in Mission Impossible.
Successfully completing a game, however, is far easier to state than achieve. In many
cases you will find a treasure but be unable to take it until you are carrying the right com-
bination of objects you find in the various locations.
If you're tired of video games of bouncing balls or shooting at targets; if you're ready
for an intellectual challenge that transports you to new worlds of experience; tf you want
to see what a skilled programmer can do with a micro, invest in one of Scott Adams"
games. An early Adventure (Adventureland or Pirate Adventure) is a good place to start
'lecause the more Adams creates, the tougher his puzzles get

. . . THERE'S AN ADVENTURE THAT'S RIGHT FOR YOU!
The Graphic Adventures
As the name implies, the Scott Adams Graphic Adventures are the classic text Adventures
which have been enhanced with exciting hi-res graphics — graphics which colorfully depict your
voyage into wonderment each and every step of the way. Each Adventure challenges the player to
accumulate points, cracl< a mystery or accomplish a goal using the unique tools of Adventuring:
two-word commands, some common sense and a little ingenuity.
If you've never played an Adventure, you couldn't have found a better place to begin. And if
you're an experienced Adventurer, prepare for a magical encounter unlike any other. Remember;
Anything can happen when you play a Scott Adams Graphic Adventure . . . and, it usually does!
See Individual descriptions on opposite page.
BOOK OF HINTS
Never let it be said that Scott Adams doesn't provide at
least some hielp for the perplexed Adventurer! Our hint book
provides additional clues to help you out of some of those
sticky spots you've gotten into, while still letting you solve
the Adventure yourself — all without giving away any clues
until you really want them! So if you can't seem to get out of
the bog or locate the pharoah's heart, then you've come to
the right place for help! This expanded edition includes hints
for all 12 Adventures, and a special section on the making of
Adventure maps. Relief at last!

FIRE COPTER^
Color Computer Version
COLOR
COMPUTER
by Dale Lear
Down there — below and to the right — tongues of fire play across the face
of a skyscraper like living things. Inside the copter, runaway temperatures nearly
rip the consciousness from your heat-punished body, momentarily throwing you
off course. But panic taps a hidden reservoir of strength, and with an adroit push
on the throttle, your FIRE COPTER continues to knife through the swirling plume
of smoke towards its target. . . .
At long last — three-dimensional realism comes to your micro! FIRE
COPTER serves up a tasty helping of coin-op realism as the player is treated to a
bird's-eye view of flight over a huge city. Buildings dimensionally leap into view
and then vanish as the perspective changes. The object of FIRE COPTER is to
extinguish as many fires as possible (using your Firecopler's built-in water jets)
before the entire city burns. Along the way, fire-starting androids may be en-
countered which should be dispatched with your lasers posthaste!
FIRE COPTER is joystick-controlled and accommodates one or two
players. Ready for three-dimensional realism? Then you're ready for FIRE
COPTER — the hot new game from Adventure International!

cade machines, including advanced play levels, running high score (with a high score "clear "

TUNNEL TERROR
by Eric Popejoy
Space and time go berserk in TUNNEL TERROR — an Apple
experience that will shatter your senses! The scenario: While your ship
moves around the circles on the edge of the dimensional tunnel, the enemy
will move up the sides until they either reach the top or are destroyed by
your ship's fission torpedoes. The enemy is varied as well as deadly;
"Walker-Carriers " split into two "walkers " upon reaching the tunnel exit
and. will try to destroy your ship; "Crazies" are unpredictable and may
attack upon emerging from the tunnel or retreat back into it — if you're
lucky!
TUNNEL TERROR can be played by 1 to 4 players and features exciting
sounds, high score save and 61 levels of difficulty to challenge both the
beginner and the advanced player. You can choose either Apple Paddles or
keyboard control, too! White-hot action from the fantasy masters,
Adventure International!

LUNAR LANDER 1?!!^
by Mike Wall & Jack Moncriel Joystick Compatible!
Atari Version by Jell Je'ssee
This is Lunar Lander — an awesome arcade simulation that challenges
you to defy the rigors of space flight! In this version of the popular game, your
micro will be taxed to its graphic limits! Written in fast machine language, the
landscape scrolls horizontally by as you guide your LEIvl (Lunar Excursion
IVIodule) across the lunar surface. As you near your selected landing site, the
automatic camera left behind by the previous mission "zooms in " for a tight
close-up of the final descent! Each crash will cost you 1000 fuel units, but for the
skilled player, relief can be found at the ravine's bottom with a refill at the fuel
depot!
The ATARI joystick version features color graphics, and snappy 4-voice
sound effects. Your mission is to make 5 successful landings with your LEM —
if you've got what it takes to be a lunar pilot, you'll plant the U.S. flag to the rous-
ing tune of ""The Star Spangled Banner!" The ATARI version also includes multi-
ple skill levels for novice to the pro!

COM M BAT H
by Bob Schilling Requires 2 Complete Computers
INCLUDED IN THIS PACKAGE — TAPE AND
DISK VERSIONS FOR APPLE, ATARI AND TRS-80 SYSTEMS
Finally! A battle game that allows players on different computer systems to
participate. You hieard right, diflerent systems! For example, a TRS-80 player can
challenge an ATARI player, or an APPLE player can take on an ATARIequipped
opponent — any combination of the three systems is possible for two players! All
you need is an APPLE, ATARI or TRS-80 microcomputer, a willing friend with one
of the above systems, a full-duplex modem (or, a modem eliminator cable if the
two computers are in the same room) and this package!
You and your opponent are located somewhere within a 4096-square-
kilometer combat zone. Each player has access to an equal supply of weaponry.
The outcome of the game will be determined by two factors: the skills of the par-
ticipants and a little luck. As soon as communications are established (via 1 10 to
9600 baud modem or direct cable connection), the battle is begun! Decide which
weapons to carry, then load them onto up to eight remote-controlled tanks that
YOU control. Your mission is to find and destroy the enemy's base before he can
do the same. Look smart and remember — each enemy tank defeated in combat
increases your survival odds.
Your well-stocked arsenal includes; Rockets, Lasers, Shells, Mines, and
Decoys. These combat-ready weapons can be transported and used by your tanks.
And when the going gets tough, the tough can get going with the info-gathering
Reconnaissance Aircraft or the awesome nuclear ICBiyi!
The COIVIlVtBAT computer displays all relevant data including current
resource status, a map of the combat reservation updated by tank, base and
decoy sensors; and handles all communication chores, freeing you to make the
strategic decisions and prosecute the tactical battle situations that arise.
COIVIfy/IBAT requires two computer systems with RS-232 port and a 300 baud
full duplex modem.

SPOOK HOUSE AND TRS80
TOXIC DUMPSITE
by Roger Schrag
This is it — the blockbusting debut of the long-awaited Graphic Adventures! Now your
TRS-80 can hobnob with the best of em. Over 50 full screens of sharp, quality graphics
breathe a realism and vitality into Adventuring, the likes of which you've yet to see on the
TRS-80. Both Graphic Adventures feature game save, extensive vocabulary, real-time action
(Yes — we said realtime!) and accept FULL sentences! Exclusive area showings brought to
you by Adventure International. Now playing at a TRS-80 near you!
SPOOK HOUSE — Horrors! A deranged madman has locked your unconscious form inside of
a deserted creep house at a crazy carnival. You awake to some sobering facts: a bomb is set
to explode, and only 30 real-lime minutes stands between you and eternity. Somewhere,
somehow you must locate and defuse the explosive — but wed be less than honest if we
thought you had more than a ghost of a chance! Brrrr — a real cliffhanger! Skill Level:
Moderate.
TOXIC DUMPSITE — Somethings gone very, very wrong at the Toxic Dumpsite where the
treatment and burial of deadly contaminants take place. The entire plant will explode like the
Fourth of July in less than 30 minutes — unless you can avoid the many traps and protection
systems and shut the plant down in time. Of course, time is the one luxury you haven't
got . ! Skill Level: Moderate.

TREASURE QUEST ISllS
by Luke Buxton
Atari Conversion by Dan Horn
If you've ever wanted to captain the trackless seas of the world in search of
riches beyond measure with a band of treacherous dogs who happen to double
as your crew, then this game should act as a most effective substitute.
As captain of the 18th century sailing ship Zombie, you have come half a
world in your quest for treasure. Your journey has brought you to the nefarious
Blood Straits, and perhaps to a rapid death as well! In your favor are accurate
chartings of the area and a dependable navigator. However, the Blood Straits is
an area frequented by both violent storms and an unsympathetic British Navy,
which may mistake you and your men for pirates. A fickle crew and a rapidly ap-
proaching hurricane season round out your problem roster!
In TREASURE QUEST you give a series of commands to your microcom-
puter as you go atxiut searching for buried or sunken txjoty. A detailed instruc-
tion booklet is included to clarify and expound upon the various situations en-
countered, along with advice and hints to aid in the search. And, each game
begins differently, assuring many hours of seafaring fun!

LABYRINTH OF CRETE ^^^^^
by Cliff Jotinson and Allen Pinero COM fid
Atari and Commodore Versions by Ralpti Jones «-»UIVI. Dl
An Adventure of truly epic proportions, LABYRINTH OF CRETE paves
ttie way for an entirely new form of Adventuring — you control tfie actions
of TWO separate cfiaracters! Tfiafs right, the player is in complete control
of two powerful warriors, the stalwart Jason, and the mightythewed Her-
cules. Straight from the mythology of ancient Greece they come, and their
quest is a most dangerous one, indeed — the recovery of the mythical
Golden Fleece from the heart of the horrific Labyrinth! But have a care, O
rash one; the designer of the maze, Daedalus of Crete, crafted well the
nefarious network. Evil most foul abounds within its walls, including all
manner of traps, tricks and a gruesome parade of maze inhabitants. Many
have tried, and many have failed to penetrate and exit the Labyrinth — will
you be able to direct Jason and Hercules to success?
If you're ready for a new era in Adventuring, LABYRINTH OF CRETE is
just what the leech ordered! Full color, hi-res graphics that depict your trek

NIGHTWALKER ^
by Bob Cassady
IBM Version by Fran Green
Nightwalker! Beautiful women. Dangerous tnen. A weird
gravedigger. They're all here in this Interactive tale that
challenges you to gather enough evidence to crack a
dangerous underground heroin ring. The story unfolds in the
famous port city of New Orleans. Far from the glamour and
romance of Bourbon Street, vou find yourself prowling the
seedy bars and alleyways or the waterfront for clues. The
word is out on the grapevine. A nosy reporter (you) is snoop-
ing around for information from everyone and anyone who II
talk. If you're the kind of ace reporter that judges your
sources carefully, you could end up with the story of a
lifetime. If not, you could find yourself on a pleasure cruise
down the Gulf — minus the boat! Niqhtwalker is an interac-
tive story, so your decisions during tne game have a direct
bearing on its outcome. 'Vou collect evidence, buy informa-
tion, log observations, and interview townspeople. You must
successfully gather enough evidence to present to the police
for a bust. Nightwalker is a text-oriented program that is
beefed-up with some sharp graphics routines, and has an ex-
tensive data base that assures you of many, many hours of
varied excitement — if you survive!

Galactic Empire. Galactic Trader. Galactic Revolution. Each an individual chapter in an expansive saga that spans
the universe. Author/Creator Doug Carlston (Atari conversions by Dave Simmons) has weaved an intricate mise-en-scene
that takes you across the galaxy and into contact with distant w/orlds and strange alien societies. The voyage begins m\h
Galactic Empire w/hich puts you in command of a fleet of starships and challenges you to conquer and hold the twenty in-
habited worlds of the central galactic system. Next, Galactic Trader finds you removed from the lofty position of command
you enjoyed in Empire, but provides the opportunity for you to buy your way back to the top through the avenues of galac-
tic trade. Lastly, Galactic Revolution — the final conflict — lashes the series together as you try to unseat the evil Emperor
from his position of power.
The Galactic Series can be played and enjoyed either as a whole or seperately. Each chafJler comes complete with
instructions and Galactic scenario which outline in full detail the universe according to Carlston.
Experience the sweeping panorama of galactic conflicts and quests of epic proportions — experience the Galactic Series!

Scott Adams' Graphics Editor
At last — an excellent graptilcs editor for ATARI owners! Ttie Scott Adams
Graptiics Editor allows ttie user to draw and edit tilghly compressed (Graptilcs
Mode 7 '?) pictures using over 50 different colors & stiades. Ttiis Is ttie same
editor developed and used by Scott Adams to create the vibrant graptiics in tils
tiigtily acclaimed SA.G.A. Series.
Pictures created witti S AG.E. may be inserted into BASIC or mactiine
language programs ttiat you've written, leaving four lines or half ttie screen
respectively for text placement at the bottom of ttie screen. Witti ttie mactiine
language interpreter stored in memory, ttie user will tiave room for approximately
16K ol user programmable memory In both tape and disk versions The pictures
placed in memory are stored in a compressed numeric format, which means ttiat
ttiey can be saved onto either tape or disk or even embedded into a BASIC pro-
gram as a string!
But can I ctiange the color palette, you ask? Certainly! A full range of colors
IS available with SAGE which contains between 50 to 100 colors & textures eacti
per picture, all ol which can be altered to suit your specific needs! A sample
palette is included, too. Here are some more reasons why YOU need S.A.G.E.:
* Drawing speed — pictures load & draw last!
* Picture Size — many ol the pictures created witti S.A.G.E. in the SA.G.A.
Series used only 300-400 bytes ol memory — clearly an improvement over the "old
way" which could eat up 4000-8000 bytes or more to store ttie same picture!
* Pictures look identical on both the newer ATARIs (which use the GTIA
chip) and ttie older models (which use ttie CTIA chip). Unlike many graphic
packages available on ttie market today. S.A.G.E. provides great picture quality on
identical systems used in Europe, too!
* SAGE allows you to place graphics quickly and easily into your own
programs.
* S.A.G.E. package includes both tape and disk versions and an easy-to-
use manual

DISASSEMBLER
ATARI
by Ralph Jones
Attention, ATARI owners: Your disk assembly pro-
blems are at an end. ULTRA DISASSEMBLER is a
superb, new utility which enables the user to analyze
and modify existing machine language programs.
ULTRA DISASSEMBLER not only performs like other
popular disassemblers (e.g., directly translating
machine language into assembly language) but it also
formats the output into highly readable pseudo-source
code with standard system labels (where appropriate).
Plus, ULTRA DISASSEMBLER writes the source code to
disk in a form suitable for editing and reassembly with
all major ATARI assemblers, including ATARI Micro,
ATARI Assembler/Editor, DATASM-65, EASMD and
others.
Anyone with a working knowledge of 6502
assembly language and the ATARI operating system
can put ULTRA DISASSEMBLER to work quickly and ef-
fectively. ULTRA DISASSEMBLER has been designed
for use with the following equipment:
• One ATARI 400 or 800 computer with at least 32K
RAM
• One ATARI 810 (or 810-compatible) disk drive
• One video monitor or TV set (black and white or
color)
Additionally, the performance of ULTRA DIS-
ASSEMBLER can be enhanced with the addition of an
extra disk drive, a printer and an extra 16K of memory.
Expand your system when you're ready.
The bottom line: If you need to analyze or modify
machine language programs, you need a solid assist
from ULTRA DISASSEMBLER, new for 1983 for your
ATARI 400 or 800.
ATARI 400/800 32K DISK 052-0174 $49.95 (£"35.99 Inc. VAT)
FEATURES
• Allows disassembly of object base, e.g.,
disassemble and examine code in a cartridge.
• Disassembly is fully reversible; i.e., the out-
put code is written to disk as a pseudo-source file
ready for reassembly with any of the major ATARI
assemblers.
• Will read machine language code from
DOS files or from a specified list of absolute disk
sectors, not just from machine memory.
• Make "custom" changes to ULTRA DIS-
ASSEMBLER with an optional sector editor, such
as our own DISKEY program.
• Extensive, user-oriented manual supplied
in handsome flip-open binder.

APPLE SPICE
ALL YOU NEED TO EXTEND
YOUR APPLESOFT BASIC
By Corey Kosak & David Fox
SOME OF APPLE SPICE'S FEATURES:
PRINT USING ■ gives your Apple the ability lo print numeric values in a specified format. The syntax is similar to the PRINT USING
command in ottier popular BASIC'S. It supports commas, floating dollar signs, asterisk fill, and has an overflow indicator.
STRING SEARCH ■ allows your Apple to rapidly search through one string ol characters for the occurrence of another string. It also
supports searching a string for a list ol words or phrases.
IF-THEN-ELSE — allows your Apple to execute one statement (or set of statements) if the 'logical condition" (e.g.. A > B) is TRUE and
execute a diderent statement (or set of statements) if the condition is FALSE. You may use multiple lines and nest IF-THEN-ELSEs as deeply
as you wish.
EXTENDED INPUT PACKAGE — makes entering data from the keyboard easier to control. Includes word warp (words which wont lit on
the current line are moved to the next line down rather than being split in two), maximum string length control (will not accept characters past
a length which you set), a control character filter (all control characters are ignored on input), and a selective character filter (allows you to
specify up to 20 different characters which will be replaced by spaces during input).
SCREEN OUTPUT PACKAGE — You no longer need to spend lime counting the characters in a PRINT statement to make sure a word
doesn't break m the middle. In addition to automatic word wrap, this package allows you to set single, double or whatever spacing between
lines, automatic Press RETURN TO CONTINUE:' message when the screen fills (you set the maximum lines per screen), and automatic
insertion of up to nine different variables in the text with an imbedded code. (Note: the Screen Output Package will not work on a printer )
APPLE SPICE is a set of fast, assembly language routines tfiat alleviate some of the drudgery of writing programs In
Applesoft BASIC. APPLE SPICE allows you to concentrate more on your program logic and less on things lil<e "prettifying" the
screen and detecting keyboard entry errors. APPLE SPICE also greatly expands Applesoft's capabilities by adding features
found in many larger BASICs such as PRINT USING, STRING SEARCH (INSTR), IF-THEN-ELSE, and LINE INPUT.
• Easy-Patch - Beginners with no machine language knowledge can use it.
• Excellent tutorial step-by-step manual. Written in easy-to-understand English.
APPLE SPICE is not copy-protected. You may include APPLE SPICE in your commercial programs without additional
charge. Just mention that you used APPLE SPICE on your title screen and in your documention.
APPLE SPICE comes with a clearly written hands-on manual (52 pages) that explains every feature in detail. All of the ex-
amples listed in the manual are included on the APPLE SPICE diskette, as well as some user-friendly programs that make it a
snap to change APPLE SPICE's parameters and to relocate APPLE SPICE to where YOU want it in memory

It is entirely possible — there may be someone, somewhere who's
yet to experience the arcade event of the year. Of course, we're talkin'
about Russ Wetmore's awesome ATARI achievement — PREPPIE! But
short of a few far-flung Eskimos, shipwrecked sailors, and wayward
micro owners in the Australian Outback, it seems that wherever ATARI'S
are found, PREPPIE! isn't too far away!
Just in case you haven't heard, up-and-coming prepster Wadsworth
Overcash is the star of PREPPIE! Wadsworth's in quite a bind, too, and
he's depending on you to help him negotiate a wide range of dangers on
the most harrowing golf course in America, the precarious Nasty Nine.
Real-time machine language graphics bring it all to energetic life
while coaxing a full twenty-eight colors from your ATARI 400 or 800. And
PREPPIE! also features an outrageous musical repertoire that sup-
plements the rib-tickling sound effects.
In short, we suspect you're out there somewhere, you holdout you.
If so, this is your big chance to upgrade your social standing and have a
little fun to boot. Be the last on your block — pick up a PREPPIE! today.

Ohmygosh, Wadsworth Overcash is back! Darn straight, and this
time he's returned to college and is pledging the sleeiziest, greaseball
fraternity in this or any other school — Delta Skelter Omega! Believe us,
Wadsworth's misadventures in PREPPIE! were mere overtures to the
supreme agonies planned for our stalwart prepster in PREPPIE II!
In PREPPIE II! Wadsworth faces a battery of tests designed to test
his mettle as a Brother. Surviving, er. . .passing, the tests means ad-
vancement to the next level for further "evaluation." The "testing area"
will include an array of pits, traps, secret passageways, revolving doors,
and a surprise, unknown hazard. And — there will be special cameo ap-
pearances by "guests" from PREPPIE!, too!
The prepster you couldn't keep down on the Nasty Nine is back and
as resilient as Bubble Yum. Make a date today for fun — PREPPIE II!

SECURE ALL HATCHES! PREPARE TO DIVE! . . . into a
fantastic voyage along the ocean depths with Russ Wetmore and
your Atari Computer.
The enemy has effectively cut off your fleet's supply lines with
the most impenetrable mine field ever devised. Deep below any
conventional sub's diving level lies the Master Mine that controls the
entire field.
You are the commander of the nuclear sub. Sea Dragon ■ the
only sub in the fleet with the speed, maneuverability and crew
capable of destroying the Master Mine. As you snake your way
through treacherous underwater passages to reach your destination,
you must avoid the hundreds of mines, depth charges, laser bases,
and supershooters planted along the way. Prepare for the ultimate
sea voyage! {Sea Dragon is also available for the TRS-80 Model 1 & 3,
CoCo, IBM, Apple and Commodore 64. See page 2 for details!)
