d as prisoners in their own home. Michael Garage
(who is also a robot) has built a robot empire to guard the whole country.
His mission - to spread chaos across the country - and put an end to
standard lifestyles.

Plucky schoolboy Vikram had a phone call from his sister Nita. She
discovered U.K.R.A.P HQ as a school project, but she's lost in the park.
Vikram decides to look for her, so he gets a water pistol and his pet bull
dog Maztif to help locate her.

Help control Vikram through the city of London battling against the robots. Robots are spreading 'hate rays' around the city. Luckily for Vikram he
can destroy the deadly robots by blasting water or throwing water balloons
at them. Vikram's dog can also destroy the robots by confusing them with
its barking.

During your travel across England you will come across a series of robots
from other rogue robot parties. There are some other handy items which can
be picked up to help you. Cans of fizzy pop will give you extra energy.
Pick up a flame thrower. The dog can also help you pick flame throwers up.
Try not to scare the cat, otherwise you'll be penalised by a reduction in energy.

Vikram cannot walk in water or across holes as he is pretty much accident prone. Luckily for you his dog can walk through both areas. Can you help Vikram save England from a robot invasion, defeat Michael Garage, and meet
his sister? Good luck.

ZAPPY BIRD

(C)2014 by Anthony Burns, Music by
Richard Bayliss

The cult game meets its match with a sideways SEUCK parody of the game,
called "Zappy Bird", written by Anthony Burns.

Infuriated at Flappy Bird's popularity various retro game characters summon
the aid of an evil witch and her cohorts invade his game world and
devastate it. Distraught, poor Flappy calls upon his psychopathic cousin "Zappy" to give the intruders a taste of their own medicine …

Using a joystick in either port, help Zappy fly across poor Flappy's world fighting back against the evil retro characters and the evil witches.
Watch out for their deadly bullets. Collect black crosses to gain extra
points with a possibility of an extra life for every 10,000 points scored.

THE IMPOSSIBLE GAME

(C)2014 by CSixx, Music by Spider
Jerusalem

From one cult game - "Flappy Bird" - to another, the PC flash cult game
called "The Impossible Game." This is a stunning Commodore 64 remake (or
should we have called it a De-make) of the classic flash game. This game
was going to be added on to last month's E-Tape but I was still waiting for permission from the author behind the game. Now with a huge thank you to C-Sixx, it is here.

Using just the fire button on your joystick in port 2, help your square
jump across the moving maze and jump over any infinite obstacles on the
ground as they scroll towards you. You can also jump on to other objects
which are raised as platforms. Keep on going until you lose. :) Try to
get the best score where possible :)

ON THE NEXT COVER TAPE

We won't be compiling another cover tape for 2 or 3 months or so, due to
the summer period. Just like last year we are taking a well-earned break
until September 2014. However, on the next cover tape, we hope to have the usual good balance of programs. So if you have anything you would like to submit (even if it has already been released) then please email it to the
usual Commodore Free address or to richardbayliss.c64(a)gmail.com.
