Welcome to the new eight page catalogue with lots of new feature in response to your requests. We now have reviews, information on Master compatability, charts of our best-sellers, a full breakdown of the contents of most compilations and nearly fifty additional titles added to our ever-growing range. We have obtained even more special deals to bring you some super bargains and I hope you will continue to support us.
We are totally dedicated to providing the best possible service for BBC Micro and Electron owners and will be striving to improve the club every day.
Our advertisements for the Red Nose Appeal sold 1,224 posters in total. At 10p per poster, the amount raised for the appeal was £122.40 and this has now been forwarded to the charity. Thank you to everyone who ordered posters.
Club Member David Graves of Telford has provided some information for anyone with a B+. Apparently 'OS Switcher' from Vine Micros enables full compatibility with BBC B tape games. We hope this will be useful to anyone having problems. Vine Micros can be contacted on (0304) 812276.
The winners of our February competition were as follows: James Broderick of London, Alex Penny of Kettering, William Topping of Manchester, Paul Wingfield of Portsmouth, Heather Tunstall of Carlisle.

M Charles of Rainham, David Mc Murray or Dundee, Piers Webb of Blackburn, Ryan Vobes of Dagenham and R Ferris of Cardiff won the March competition. £l10 goes to each for the answers: A. Australia, B. Tempest, C. David Braben. Good luck to all with the April Competition. It is a little tougher.
A number of titles are getting near. The next release from Superior is Repton Thru Time which will be released in June 3rd. It features forty new screens in different periods through the ages. It is the best yet and advance orders can be placed to ensure your copy on the day of release. Prices are the same as for Life Of Repton.
Superior also have Pipeline (Ravenskull 2) almost ready. A June or July release is likely for this excellent sequel to the very popular Ravenskull.. It may be just beaten by their mega-title which we can reveal is called Exile. I have briefly seen it and it is definitely the best arcade adventure I have ever seen by a long, long way. The Club gets all titles on the day of release and you won't get it quicker than keeping your eye on the monthly catalogue.
Martech have a great shoot-'em-up called Mega Apocalypse almost ready for launch which promises to be a great sequel to War. Blue Ribbon are releasing Golf and Darts but we have not seen these yet. CDS have Colossus Bridge 4 for later this year and Bug Byte are still working on their titles at the moment.
Anyway that's all for the time being. I hope you find something you want in the following pages and all the very best to everyone.
