----- July 1984 ANALOG Table of Contents (Games Issue) Page Article 10 THE WINNERS The staff of ANALOG pick their 7 favorite Atari games. (The winner might surprise you!) 29 BUZZ-ZAP BASIC game for 16K Cassette or Disk. You're a bug being chased around by strawberries. 35 BACTERION! ML Arcade game (generated from BASIC program; Assembler listing also given). Bacterial invaders try to remove the brain cells of world leaders (are we making an assumption here?). You must stop them. Very reminiscent of the arcade game "Ripoff". 51 WHAT IS IT? BASIC children's game for 16K Cassette, 24K disk. For children 5-10 yrs old. Type in the name of the object pictured, with or without clues. 57 ALTERDOS Short BASIC program that modifies DOS to run a file with any name you specify as if it was an AUTORUN.SYS file. 59 AUTO LINE NUMBERING + BASIC/ML program (16K) that lets you automatically number your BASIC program lines as you type them in. Also keeps other useful info, such as number of variable names left and memory left, on the screen as you type. 72 CON TEXT BASIC utility (16K) that converts files created by "Letter Perfect" and converts them to normal DOS files (so they can be used with other Atari word processors, such as Text Wizard). 82 STARS 3-D IN ACTION! A rewrite of the "Stars 3-D" Demo (Analog 16), written in ACTION!. If you haven't seen this demo, it is definitely worth typing in in either the BASIC or ACTION form. 86 BOUNCE IN ACTION! A rewrite of the "Bounce" demo (Analog 15), written in ACTION! 93 SCREDIT BASIC/Assembler program, Stands for "Scrolling Screen Editor". Needs 32K disk system. Edit a screen simply by typing in the characters and saving to disk...and allows you to scroll.
