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

Greetings!

Another mixed bag of articles again!

This time, we have Leonard Roach pondering whom he should continue writing
for. In the past he has written articles for Commodore Free and even sold Commodore programmes; you may remember he has released some
Commodore-related books. It's an interesting read although I know it won't
be an article that suits everyone's taste as it touches on the subject of Faith.

Also, this issue we have an interview with the sysAdmin of Melon64, a forum
for Commodore users. Some people I know seem to think that it's in direct competition to Lemon64, but read the interview and judge for yourself.
It's not an exclusive interview and don't expect all to be revealed but it makes some interesting reading all the same.

Ever thought of making a shoe phone or an implementation of a Commodore
64/65 in FPGA logic with some extensions? Well one reader has, and he
talks about his plans for such a project. I mean just think if you could
own a portable Commodore 64, even if it was just a piece of FPGA logic with screen and keyboard? How cool would it be - working on Commodore Free
while others looked over my shoulder wondering what operating system it
was, and wowing at the fact it booted up in milliseconds rather than 15 minutes?

The more I read about the C65 the more I want one - not really one of the prototypes - but a fully working version. How I wished Commodore had
released the machine to market, although they really needed to get it out faster, and I think that's one of the reasons they closed the project,
because 16-bit machines were overtaking the 8-bit systems. Think of how
the games would look and the extra sid for stereo soundtracks! Ok, I know
it's never going to be a reality, but with an FPGA logic version, who
knows? Anything could be possible!

We have a review of an SDuiec device, that lets you load and save
programmes onto SD cards, although there are any number of similar versions
I picked this mainly for the reason it looks like a real 1541 drive, it's
also very neat and well manufactured.

Concluding our magazine are two machine code programming tutorials, we
continue our regular Machine code lessons and also we delve into the elite world of the Geos programmer with a look at Geos header files, and what
tools you would need to code your own applications.

Thanks for reading

Best regards

COMMODORE FREE E-COVER TAPE #15
By Richard Bayliss
*************************************

Loader system by Martin Piper and Daniel Kahlin all Loading tunes by
Richard Bayliss

It's summer time once again and Commodore Free springs back with a HOT
sizzling cover tape, crammed with spectacular goodies for you to enjoy.
The past few E-Cover Tapes had mainly SEUCK compo entries. This issue also
has a couple of SEUCK games which are EXCLUSIVE and so have not seen
before. The majority of this tape consists of different programs. Huge
thanks goes to CSIXX for giving us kind permission to use the C64
conversion of The Impossible Game on to this month's cover tape,which I
have mastered using Daniel Kahlin's R-Loader.

You may have noticed that I reverted back to the regular TND loader system (Thunderload Series Six) for the majority of programs on this E-Cover Tape.
I did do a brand new tape loading system, but a 3 colour logo which says "Thunderload 7" needs to be painted. So guess what else I have added on to this issue's cover tape? … A logo editor ;)

Anyway, what is in store for you on the cover tape this month, before we
take a break until after summer? First of all there are a couple of SEUCK games, which are fun and full of humour. There is also a 2 player car
racing game, and of course (as pointed before) a Commodore 64 conversion of
the flash PC game, "The Impossible Game". There's also 3 utilities (or
should we count it as 4?) for your C64.

RABID ROBOTS

(C)2014 by Alf Yngve, Music by
Richard Bayliss

This is a funny game which was created by Alf Yngve, using the Sideways Scrolling SEUCK. This game consists of a comedy look into UK politics and
the UK as well. This game was written by Alf only for fun, and wasn't
intended to cause any insults to anyone. We made sure of that.

England is under attack by a series of robots from U.K.R.A.P (UK Robots
Against People). They are spreading a message of 'hate' to the nation.
