.... Supersoft .... 16k cassette ....

The HELPER is an aid to Adventure players available from SuperSoft on cassette at £10. It enables you to load a cassette based machine code adventure into memory and then examine the listing for clues. It has a colourful introduction and a pleasant screen design but basically does no more than the listing on page 28 of issue 10 of PAGE 6.

I am sorry to be so negative about TWO products from the same company but I really feel that SuperSoft ought to think again. This would make an excellent magazine listing but as a commercial program it is just not worth £10. With the programs published by ANALOG and ANTIC becoming more and more sophisticated and the price of Atari ROM cartridges at £9.95, any programmer writing in BASIC needs to think long and hard about the commercial value of his program.
