computer emuzone review
Published on2020/03/19
Second of the thirteen installments in this series published by Hobby Press, which included various games and utilities (most in Basic) that accompanied many of us in our first steps with the Spectrum.
I must admit that I was not a big fan, the Load 'n' Run (it would take a while to discover the obvious why) or Your Computer caught my attention, but you know, to each his own.

Magazine contents
1. ALICIA
One of the first conversational adventures made in our country, which becomes its main charm.
Poor graphics, very limited parser in Basic and the positive note of occasional animations are its characteristics.

2. DADOS
In the mid-80s this type of game abounded, in which you hardly had to roll the dice and see what number came up. [2.5]
3. SQUASH
Species of PONG made in Basic, quite difficult when moving in jumps. [3]
4. DESENSAMBLADOR
As its name suggests, it is a machine code disassembler program. I don't know how it works, really.
5. DON COSME
Sometimes Microhobby also served as a quarry for future programming geniuses.
Who was going to tell me, when I first tried this Manic Miner clone (which incidentally was one of the first games made in Assembler that Microhobby published on her tapes), that its programmer, Paco Martín, two years later was g (...) [5.6]

6. ATAQUE DE NAVES [ATAQUE]
We are invaded by aliens and we have to fight, in a kind of space 'Operation Wolf'. To be in Basic is not bad.
7. EDITOR GDU [GDU]
To define graphics by the user, as indicated by its name. Enter coordinates and create your drawing.
8. DOMINÓ
Made in Basic, like almost all the games on these tapes, the truth is that it can be played.
9. SPECTRUM MUSICAL [MUSICAL]
With this utility you can program a melody, listen to it, record it and load it.
10. RESCATE
Lead your character to rescue the heroine, avoiding the hanging bomb. Super slow.
