^4This issue, the Spotlight is on DAVID BOUCHER.

^7David has two disks in the PD Library, unless I've missed some, and
^7they are both very good.

 ^2David goes by the name of `Ripoffware' and that's what his games are
^2- new versions of old games - 

^4APD 234 - ^6Programs By David Boucher. (1/2meg)

 ^6There are three programs on this disk, two games, and one utility.

^41. TESLAR.
^6 This is an AMOS version of TETRIS, it's very good and easy to
^6control, the graphics are great, a very  playable version of a now
^6classic game.

^42. SNAKE.
^6This is an earlier release of the snake game on disk 301, a good
^6version of an old favourite.  
 
^4APD 301 - ^6Programs by David Boucher.

^6 There are FIVE programs on this disk, it's really good value with
^6two games, a music player and two utilities.

^41. DEFENDER.
^6 Earth  is being invaded by aliens and it is up to you, yet again, to
^6save us all.  The beasties come speeding down in their flying saucers
^6belting missiles at the city's protective dome. You have to belt them
^6before they fry the city.
 
^42. SNAKE.
^6 This is another great version of an old game.  You have to guide the
^6supercharged  snake around the grid defusing mines without letting it
^6crash into the border or into another part of its own body.
^6 The  graphics  are  brill  and the presentation is excellent in both
^6these games, and give good V.F.M.  on their own.

^43. GHETTOBLASTER.
^6 David  has  also  provided  a music player with three pieces by John
^6Kinsella.   There  is  a nicely drawn Ghettoblaster, with an animated
^6cassette deck as the music plays.

^44. AMOS TEXT V1.2 
^6 This  program  can  be  used to display an ascii file when placed in
^6your  disk's ":DOC_Files" directory.  It will pick up all ascii files
^6with  the suffix .DOC .  The display is controlled by clicking on the
^6relevant buttons and onscreen help is always available.

^45. A.F.P.
^6 This program will let you print an ascii file.  (Hence A F P = ascii
^6file  printer)  It is epson compatable and looks as good as the other
^6programs on the disk.
 
^7 Again both programs are nicely done and worth a look.

^2 David  has  shown  us  that he has the talent to produce great games
^2from  past ideas, we hope that he will continue as we think that with
^2a `new' game idea, he would have something on Licenseware.

^3 Nice work David!!
