!!!!! BASIC PROGRAM !!!!!¢¢The BASIC program you'll see by¢pressing the <SPACE BAR> this month¢is none other than COMPYSOFT's¢SOCOBAN. For those not familiar with¢this fine game, let me just say that¢it involves a small, not-too-strong¢little man who must push several¢objects around the screen until those¢objects are in their appointed¢places. You must use a joystick to¢control his movements (up, down,¢left, right.) In order to move the¢object, you must have the man just¢adjacent to the object. While¢holding the fire button down, move¢the stick in the direction the object¢is to move. This game looks a lot¢simpler than it is, as you'll¢discover. The game comes with twelve¢levels, and you can create your own¢with its built-in construction set.¢¢Please note that the game's¢documentation is in German, and that¢several screen features are also¢written in German. "Bitte Warten,"¢means, "Please Wait." You should be¢able to figure out the others. RON¢FETZER has promised an English¢translation if any of us have¢trouble.¢¢ABBUC, the great German 8-bit club,¢holds the rights to SOCOBAN. OHAUG¢wishes to thank ABBUC for generously¢allowing us to use it in our¢newsletter.¢¢If you wish to copy this program onto¢your own disk, please note that it¢consists only of those files that are¢locked. Of course, you'll need to¢put a DOS on your disk to run it.¢
