           MUSIC STUDIO 2.2.0.2   
   *************************************   
      
   Music Studio 2.2 is a Windows-based SID music creator software.  For an   
   accurate C64 sound, it utilises the newest RESID-FP emulation available,   
   both old (6581) and new (8580) SID chips.  MS2 is capable of creating 1x   
   speed tunes and alternate many SID chip parameters directly with various   
   commands.  Classic and new C64 sounds can be created with envelope   
   parameters that can be set up in few simple steps.

                 STACK UP   
   *************************************   
      
   Released by: Delysid   
      
   An interestingly titled game, the object of this game (played with the   
   joystick) is to click the fire button to stop the left to right scrolling   
   block and stack them one on the other.  It's more just a case of clicking   
   the joystick button at the right time.   
      
   The game reached 10 in the Mixed Competition at BCC Party #10

   Released by: Steveboy   
      
   Written in BASIC, the program is like the old fuzzy felt kits you used to   
   buy where you get a model and dress it in various clothing options.  Quite   
   a clever idea for the computer.

                   SNAKE   
   *************************************   
      
   Released by: Bytebreaker   
      
   Needing no introduction, this is a snake game.  Eat the dots, you get   
   bigger and try not to crash into yourself or the screen edges.  It's a   
   simple version with crude graphics, although the game plays very well.  The   
   text in the game seem to be in German though (I think).

   *************************************   
      
   Released by:  Dr.  TerrorZ   
      
   Runnable on MacOS, Linux, and Windows as 64- or 32-bit applications, this   
   very competent paint package has been updated.   
      
   Multipaint allows you to draw pictures with the colour limitations of some   
   typical 8bit Computer platforms.  The display formats supported are   
   Commodore 64 high resolution, Commodore 64 multicolour, ZX Spectrum, and   
   MSX 1.   
      
   Meant to encourage a way of creating 8bit pixel images in direct dialogue   
   with the colour limitations of the target platform.  8-bit visuals are   
   often defined by a presence of a colour grid which is coarser than the   
   actual pixel resolution, which is quite low to begin with.  Working with   
   and around these limits often means trying out a variety of approaches as   
   you go along.

      SPACEMAN SPLORF: PLANET OF DOOM   
   *************************************   
      
   Released by: Pond, SDW Developments   
      
   A game using the joystick in a sort of keep-it-up way, you have to apply   
   the correct lift by hitting the fire button to keep your spaceman up in the   
   air.  Too much lift you hit the screen and die, not enough and you sink in   
   the goo or gloop.  Also, you need to avoid the asteroids or rocks that   
   float over this scrolling screen.  Very smooth and some great   
   tension-inducing music.

   Released by: Steveboy   
      
   I have no idea what this game is.  The game is in the Hungarian language   
   and played with the joystick.  It's some sort of text adventure and that's   
   about all I know!

   Take the role of Kim, a low-clearance security guard working a permanent   
   night shift at the Throne Group Science Complex.  One night she wakes up   
   inside a cargo container converted to an improvised emergency operating   
   room.  All she remembers are multiple unknown hostiles firing at the staff,   
   heavy rounds hammering into her chest and everything going black, then   
   finally the shouted words filtering into her consciousness:  "Massive   
   trauma..  Need artificial circulation..  Prepare the nanobot injection   
   now!"

              JANI 2 [SEUCK]   
   *************************************   
      
   Released by:  Oliver Orosz   
      
   Nice little SEUCK game with great graphics.  Very playable, although it   
   could do with a makeover in the sounds department.  Doesn't seem to suffer   
   as many of the SEUCK games do from the strange glitches, this seems really   
   smooth and well thought out.

   Seems to be a follow up of the game JANI that is similar although with   
   different colour and back drop

   This is the information from his website blog.worldofjani.com/ Click the   
   Commodore link on the right for more information.   
      
   It would appear this tool was designed to fit on a cartridge to test floppy   
   disk drives, as loading from disk on a fault drive can prove frustrating!   
      
   This is why I created a 1541 Diagnostic Cartridge.   
      
   The website says:  --   
      
   "The challenge was to get all these tools to fit into an 8K cart.  I wanted   
   to keep the hardware simple and a 16K cart would have overwritten the BASIC   
   interpreter."   
      
   The tools are optimized to be as small as possible.
