Games for Your Timex-Sinclair 2000 by Peter Shaw is a collection of 23 games that utilize both the sound and the high-resolution graphic capabilities of the Timex computer. Even if you aren’t a “video Junkie”, some of the programming techniques used by Shaw are worth looking into for use in other programs.
Shaw has successfully translated some favorite arcade games (sorry, no “Pac-Man”!) for the Timex computer. “Frogger”, “Lunar Lander”, and “Death Race 2000” come to mind as I look through the table of contents for this book.
Through the use of UDGs (User-Defined Graphics), the games take on a very realistic look; not the blurry blobs we have been accustomed to in many other home computer games.
