show that things one person finds easy can seem overwhelming to others!

SO IN THIS ISSUE WE HAVE

A catch-up on the CBM prg Studio and how the program is building up into a must-have programming environment for Commodore 8-bit machines. We also
have the Contiki configuration and setup guide for those with less hair to
pull out than myself. We have a Q and A session with the designers of the ARMIGA project, (you may remember this was reported as a news item in
Commodore Free) another Games that shouldn't have been (I really need an
award or logo properly designed for this). Even more VIC releases and I am still maintaining that 2014 is the year of the VIC.

I have also been told that one user is trying to set up a VIC-only release company , releasing VIC titles on tape, disk, or other format. This is definitely needed for the VIC users. Lots of VIC titles tend to be left or ignored and the ones this year and towards the end of 2013 have just been amazing. Oh, and before I close I should just like to say thanks to
Richard for yet another cover tape. Just when we thought it was all
over...

COMMODORE FREE E-COVER TAPE #14
By Richard Bayliss
*************************************

Tape loader by Daniel Kahlin

"Good heavens. I thought Issue 80's E-Tape was going to be the last E-Tape
for Commodore Free". Suddenly things start to hit me, on my 1541Ultimate 2 there is actually plenty of stuff to put on to future cover tapes. So the
life of the cover tape will be living a bit longer. I am hoping this is
also good news for you all.

Secondly I have had to rush with this issue's cover tape again, due to
problems with time. Once again all programs have been mastered with the R-Loader system.

So then what is in store for you in this issue's E-Cover tape? Well, yet
again it is devoted to mainly SEUCK games. We have two of the remaining
SEUCK compo 2014 entries for you to enjoy. Also unearthed is Cycotics by
Carl Mason and an exclusive look at the first level with a playable preview
of 3000 Kung Fu Maniacs. And basically that's all.

So what are you waiting for? Press SHIFT+RUN/STOP, press PLAY on tape and
let those flashing borders roll.

SEUCK Compo 2014 - Part 2

1941 - THE SECRET CONFLICT

Full Game
(C) 2014 Gibranx

Programming: Gibranx (IndyJR)
Graphics: Gibranx
Music: Richard Bayliss

Travel back in time to 1941. The Second World War is still in operation.
A series of bombardment attacks have taken place on your home island. Fortunately during that time you and your family were safe inside the air
raid shelter. The enemy planes missed your hangar, so you decided, "That's it.... I'm going to get you!" You and a friend exit the air raid shelter
and set off in your planes to stop the enemy forces.

As part of the Allied forces, you must thwart the enemy forces of the
dictator and destroy the biggest threat of this war. A giant machine. To
be able to complete this mission, you must fly through the skies, shooting, ducking and diving. Avoid the enemies, and shoot them down long or short range. If you destroy the mean machine, you'll find out what really caused
the destruction of your island.

THE LAST HOPE

Full Game
(C) 2014 SeaSoft

Programming: Gaetano Chiummo
Graphics: Gaetano Chiummo
Music: Gaetano Chiummo

In the year 3000 a new planet was discovered. It was very similar to our planet Earth, and so it was called "Earth II". Within 100 years, the
richest part of the population of the Earth emigrated to Earth II. The
poor were still living on an already wasted planet but, just when they were losing their hope in the future, some young brilliant scientists started searching for a way to clear the water and the air, to improve the
agriculture and to get new sources of energy. They finally succeeded, and brought the planet to a new life. In the meantime, the people who
colonised "Earth 2" were almost starving: just as their food supplies were almost over, they found themselves unable to work and to produce food on
their own. At that point, they decided to go back to their old planet.
Soon they discovered that a hostile alien race was planning to destroy the population of both Earth and Earth-II!

You've been enlisted to control the most technologically advanced space-fighter, the only effective weapon in the hands of the Earth-II inhabitants. You must fight against the aliens in three different stages.

* The asteroid belt
* The enemies' space station
* The enemy HQ.

At the end of the third stage you must fight against the enemies' ultimate weapon; if you destroy it you can fly back to your beloved Home Planet.

This game is for 1 or 2 players.

CYCOTICS

Full Game
(C) 1996 by Carl Mason

Game design: Carl Mason
Music: Richard Bayliss

It is a tough life cycling from work, especially when there is so much
traffic on the roads and annoying cyclists blocking your way. Only one
thing for it. Get the stereo on, play some garage, techno and bassline.
It's time for PROFESSIONAL CHAV SIMULATOR … Er, no. It's Carl Mason's
SEUCK classic called Cycotics. It is a stylish vertical scrolling SEUCK
game that has some pretty nice graphics.

You and a friend can control a cyclist in either joystick port. The idea
of the game is to simply cycle through the streets, and race all the way to
the finish causing as much havoc as you like in order to score bonus
points. The trouble is that there is a lot of traffic in the way. Also
you cannot cycle over buildings. There are other cyclists and people who
get in your way. You can knock them off their bikes for bonus points, but don't crash into them otherwise your bike will get trashed. You will have
a limited amount of attempts to get through to the finishing point. Can
you or a friend make it, or will both cyclists decide to give up? Good
luck!
