It’s not every day that you read a review of a magazine in ANOTHER MAGAZINE. But BYTE POWER is a “different” kind of T/S magazine. . .it comes to you on CASSETTE TAPE!
BYTE POWER comes out monthly from Canada (home of Bob McKenzie . . . the “Great White North”). Each issue has over 10 complete programs ready to use. After LOADing the cover screen (which by the way is very well done), the Table of Contents describes each program contained in the issue.
And what programs! There are games, business programs, graphics, utilities, and more!
The best past is that you don’t have to type them in. . .just LOAD and GO.
About the programs themselves. . .nothing less than top-notch! Any one of the programs could be sold by itself on the market. They’re that good!
Some examples (from the first issue) are:
GRAND PRIX – A full-featured clone of Pole Position.
ROBOT – SPACE INVADERS at its best. . .and better! (My wife is addicted to it!)
KNIGHT’S TOUR – A chess-type game.
EASYTYPE – A simple-to-use Word Processor.
RENUM – Renumbering utility.
Besides programs, BYTE POWER also includes reviews, editorials, and even a classified section.
Eric and Kristian Boisvert, editors of BYTE POWER, are to be commended on putting out such fine software. BYTE POWER is bylined as a “1st Class Magazine”, and I agree.
By all means keep your subscription to TS HORIZONS. . .but consider adding BYTE POWER to your list.
