EDITORIAL
*************************************

I received a number of comments about the magazine a few are listed in this issue under the rather less than surprising title of Readers comments! Read them through and then help me decide what you think of the comments (bit cryptic but you will understand after reading the comments). The news section has a brief look at some of the more recent SEUCK entries and if you feel compelled to look for more information you can find some here www.tnd64.unikat.sk/Seuck_Compo_2013.html thanks to Richard Bayliss for
hosting the competition and keeping the interest in SEUCK going, although I know many will moan and complain about SEUCK, but in the right hands you can create something playable, it's an art form, thats for sure working within the limitations of the system and the constraints of the hardware, not easy but it does make anyone able to create a program, even if the quality is questionable!

HURRAY THE COVER TAPES ARE BACK!

Yes this issue has some more files in Tap format to download, including one of the SEUCK competition games, I have received a few emails from people asking why this feature was removed, well it hasn't been it's just all down to people's time.

INTERVIEWED

We have an interesting interview with Jeremy Smith who does what he calls
Retro fit games, This is an interesting project, taking old games and making them work under emulation on new hardware BUT. He actually dissembles the game and makes the games graphics better fit larger screens. So why not jut expand the screen to fill the device! Well you need to read the interview don't you.

REVIEWED

A few games have been reviewed and that's about your lot for this issue, of course with the usual sprinkle of news, bad spelling and appalling grammar but you expect this so why change what you're used to.

Regards
Nigel, Editor

By Richard Bayliss
*************************************

While you were still enjoying E-Cover tape #4. Yet another great cover tape is in store for you this issue. And it gets even better. We hardly have proper exclusive material, this issue, but there are some good programs for you to enjoy. Once again, we dedicate this issue of Commodore Free to games from the past and present. So what is in store for you this issue then? We have a driving SEUCK game, a space blaster, a cute platform game and a game inspired by Gremlin's "Bounder". Press SHIFT+RUN/STOP and let those loading stripes commence.
