Game Covers - Buggy Boy (Commodore 64)

Use the joystick to select a course and press fire.  The race begins.  Drive your race-tuned Baja Bug along the race track, passing through gates and collecting flags for points.  Time gates give you an additional two seconds on the next leg so drive through them if you can.  Collecting the flags in the specified order gives you extra points.  Avoid hitting the fences, walls, trees etc. as they flip your buggy over and slow you down.  You are competing against the clock so don't waste time, push the pedal flat to the floor.  Try jumping obstacles by hitting the logs that lie across the track,  Show off your driving skills by running over molehills and tree stumps, tipping your car onto two wheels - see how long you can keep your buggy in this trick position.  Fasten your seat belt for the ride of your life.

Now That's What I Call Stuart's Favourite Music 16 - Taurus II (Mike Oldfield)

The album "Five Miles Out" introduced me to the music of Mike Oldfield long before I first listened to his famous Tubular Bells for the first time, and the one track which stands out for me is the very first one from the album, "Taurus II".  As with most of Mike's earlier work (Tubular Bells, Incantations, Ommadawn etc.), this track is one long, continuous track (24 minutes) made up of several different melodies and styles.

I remember my sister copying it onto an old C90 for me in the mid 1980's...  I still have the tape!  (Shhh.... although I've bought several CD releases since, so that kind of makes up for having a naughty copy when I was a child!)

If you've never heard it before, give it a go...  Modern chart musicians can only dream of producing music of this quality.  As a big fan of Mike Oldfield, I still find this one of his best albums ever.

The copy my sister dd for me in the 80s.  Shhhh, don't tell anyone!

Game Covers - Frankenstein (Commodore 64)

Imagine...

Just imagine................................  That you could be God.

I am Doctor Victor Frankenstein.  I believed...   Oh foolish man!...  I believed I could equal the wonders of God.  For I, in my researches had discovered the secret of life!  For two wearisome years I experimented with my secrets of life force.  Long hours spent in the laboratory tolling over bloody tissue.  Re-animating dead animal muscle:  Notes, experiments, more notes, adjustments to my apparatus.

My experiments became an obsession!  I forgot about food.  My body became wasted.  My eyes stared wildly from sunken sockets.

Friends had deserted me, considering me eccentric, I did not care!  For I was destined to stand among the Gods!  Their equal, a creator...   A giver of life itself!

"Extracts from the memoirs of Dr. Victor Frankenstein."

Game Covers - Miami Vice (Commodore 64)

Crockett and Tubbs have heard;  the word on the street - a one million dollar contraband shipment is due in town on Thursday morning for collection by Mr 'J' - an old-fashioned gangster with a respectable new image and some influential friends.

These big deals usually go down under the cover of a waterfront warehouse and as of Midnight Sunday, that's as much as you know.

Just get out there and squeeze the network of dealers, starting with the real low-life, the $10 wrap men who frequent the local bars.  If you handle them right, you just might get to their suppliers, the next link in the chain, and eventually, the slick businessmen who operate in the casinos - they should have lots of information if you don't have to shoot them first!
