Showdown

Heralded by the strains of the theme tune to 'The Good, The Bad And The Ugly',

Show Down (coming to us courtesy of Artic Computing) is an early example of a

cowboy gunfight.

To move upwards, use any key from 6 to 0 on the top row and any key from Y to

P on the second row will move you down again. The all-important fire button

can be any key from B to SPACE on the bottom row. It can be used as a one or a

two player game, but be careful if you decide to fight the Spectrum - it proves to be a more than accomplished gunslinger.

To type in the code needed to generate the user-defined graphics required for

Show Down, you should first type in the line of Basic shown below (line 100).

When you have done this, RUN the program anf type in the graphics code star-

ting with the top line and moving onto the second line and so on; in this ca-

se you should type in 0,0,1,6,12, etc. (where a comma denotes your pressing

the ENTER key).

Once you have entered all 168 pieces of code, you should BREAK into the pro-

gram and type NEW. All the user-defined graphics will then be stored above

RAMTOP, and can be typed in in Graphics mode where required in the program.
