British Olympic Hurdlers Compete for Gold - Again!
Release Date 2.9.92 Colin Jackson and Tony Jarrett - Britain's top
ranking hurdlers, are making guest appearances at the World of Acorn
event to be held in Birmingham on the 12th and 13th September. Colin
and Tony will be challenging visitors to compete against them in an
exciting new athletics simulation called Quest for Gold.
The game runs on Acorn's range of 32-bit RISC computers. Developed by
Krisalis Software, Quest for Gold is a detailed athletic simulation of
track and field events, including both training and competition.
Quest for Gold is being included in Acorn's Learning Curve and Family
Solution packs, designed for the home computing environment. The
concept of the Learning Curve pulls together the needs of computing in
schools, at the office and in the home, whereas the Family Solution
represents an ideal introduction to home computing.
The World of Acorn will be the first public showing in the Midlands of
Acorn's new range of powerful 32-bit computers which start from under
#500. Members of Acorn will be on hand demonstrating the equipment and
showing how they can fulfill a variety of computing requirements
including education, business, word processing, desktop publishing,
art, music and leisure activities.
Also exhibiting at the event will be dealers from the Birmingham area
and several leading software houses.
The World of Acorn is being held at the National Motorcycle Museum,
Coventry Road, Bicken Hill, Birmingham on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th
September from 10am until 4pm.
