Sort of. This Is probably the last Live Circuit section I'll be putting together Never mind, it's far too much like hard work (I'd rather be pottering in the garden at this time of year). Yes, if you don't already know — CRASH gets fat (once again) next issue so all the bits from Live Circuit get spread throughout the magazine. We're not losing anything (not even Enor, who's still causing mouse-like havoc around the place). The thing is, everything just gets bigger. My Forum gets its own section (but keep sending in your Bug Box cartoons, I'll still be using them in the Forum), and Hi-Fire gets its own special treatment too — what we're actually doing with it, well, we'll leave that as a surprise till next month (just makes sure you send a photo of yourself, If you possibly can). As always there'll be a £40 software voucher on offer for the Letter of the Month, so keep your missives flowing to: Newsfield, LLOYD'S FORUM, CRASH, Ludlow, Shropshire SY8 1JW. I'll see you next month, same as always only a bit more of it. Dear Lloyd The cover tape on Issue 87 (April): GREAT! Sat down, loaded in the games, then I came to Anarchy. Even better, feeling good, I reached level six and thought I was great. Along came my family, sit down, level seven, level eight nine and ten then things slowed down. The three children battled for position at the computer. They even got up early to try and get there first. The Speccy was plugged in at 8am and Anarchy was bashed away at all day long, nothing was done, nothing was talked about only how near I was to clearing each level. WeH, finally last night (or early this morning), at 01.54, level 16 was mastered and what happened? Horror! Level 17 has a bug in it. All that was on the screen was a row of squares and time of 4,000. Then nothing, 'out of time' kept coming up. Oh, the moans and groans, seven lives and stuck. All of them now moping around the house suffering Anarchy withdrawal symptons. You can picture the scene: blank TV. cold Speccy, empty table. What I am complaining about? I can actually sit at the table in peace now for that cup of coffee. It is a long, long time since all three children (four including Mejall) have played the same game and enjoyed it for such long penods at a time, and all four of us with high blood pressure. Thanks to CRASH for a great game. Oh, by the way, the ages of the children range fiom 20 years to 25 years (you can guess by that, I am not 21). Joy Cooper, Co Limerick, Ireland.
