An arcade development package that's been • two years in the making is finally being launched. Its pro- duced by a Cleveland based company GlenCo and comes supplied with disk and in depth (OK Massive) manual. Known as SCADS (Sam Coupe Arcade Development sys- MILES GOMM TECH tem), a name truly worthy of the US Airforce. It allows you to develop arcade games in the comfort of your own last month as the still strong technical wing of the com- hobby room, bedroom or living room. The instruction manual is very logically laid out and pany on (0792) 797 770. Format Publications, long time easy to understand and follow, despite its size, and the supporters of the SAM say they are very hopeful of finding someone in the near future to take the SAM up to a sales program itself is likewise (even Big Al' can grasp the idea!) level at which it will survive in the long term. The technol- ogy and software is there all it needs is the user base. However there is still very little major software house inte' est in the machine, so only time will tell. MOB HOBBLING TO OK The Hobbit, first revealed in its current form right here in SU is having some problems getting into the UK. The 'Super 48K Spectrum' is distributed here by ADS Russian Services who have themselves changed address (see below). However sources in Russia and at the distributors say there is no cause for worry at this stage. Things often take time in the former Soviet Union and the machine This means that even the most Inexperienced pro- grammer, or someone with no programming experience at all will find the package a dream to use.
