Do you have a favorite program that requires various keyboard letters as input? A game or educational or word processor? The object of VOICE KEY is to let you command by voice instead of pressing keys! VOICE KEY will not interfere with most programs (provided they do not use random-access memory "behind" read-only memory). Load VOICE KEY. Attach VOICE MASTER to the rear joy stick port. Then train the computer to the particular command words you want to use and define the keystrokes that you want these words to enter into the computer. Then load in your favorite program and proceed to run it using either keystrokes or command words. Up to 18 words. Each
word can create up to 18 keystrokes including control characters. Complete instructions in manual. Disk is not copy protected. Special instructions for the popular "Speedscript" word processor.

Here is a link to the software.

The "Wasteland Paragraphs" are a printed booklet included with the Commodore 64 version of Wasteland, containing narrative segments that players are instructed to read during gameplay to enrich the story and provide critical plot details.

These paragraphs serve as a form of copy protection and storytelling enhancement. Instead of embedding all narrative text within the game, Wasteland prompts players to read specific numbered entries from the booklet when they encounter events, characters, or discoveries.

This is the manual for the GEOS operating system update called Wheels by Maurice Randall.  This version covers both the 64 and 128 versions.

This manual is supplied as a supplement to the Basic and White Lightning manuals. It is intended to give further explanation and examples of the IDEAL graphics routines covered in those manuals.

The Lightning series of products has been designed in such a way that the IDEAL graphics commands used in Basic and White Lightning not only have the same syntax and operation, but also use the same parameters. Therefore most of the IDEAL commands will be explained with the aid of Basic Lightning, using Basic Lightning examples, as this should make it easier for most users to understand.

White Lightning is a high level graphics development system for the Commodore 64. It is aimed primarily at the user who has commercial games writing in mind and has
the patience to learn a sizeable new language. It is not a games designer and stunning results probably won't be produced overnight, but it does have the power and flexibility to produce software of a commercial standard (with a little perseverance!). Software produced using White Lightning can be marketed without restriction, although we would be very grateful if you felt you could pop a small credit on the sleeve.

Assembly language has three advantages over most high level languages: speed, flexibility and compactness. During the running of an arcade game, the processor spends most of its time manipulating screen data, and if the appropriate commands are implemented in the language, the execution "overhead" is very small. Add to this the fact that considerable time has been spent on the routines themselves to optimize execution speed, and we feel most machine code programmers would be hard pressed to better White Lightning for speed. As far as flexibility is concerned, White Lightning has almost 300 commands as well as access to BASIC and machine language if required. A lot of the tricky routines like rotations and enlargements are already implemented for you. As far as compactness goes, Forth itself produces very compact code, but there is, of course, the overhead of the language itself. Assembly language has four major drawbacks. Firstly, you've got to learn it. Having mastered machine code, program development is very slow compared with a typical high level language, there is no "crash protection" whatsoever, and to produce effective results, you need a fairly intimate knowledge of the machine you're working with.

BASIC has several points in its favor, these are: excellent crash protection, extremely readable source code and a relatively short learning curve. These features make BASIC a very good introduction to programming for the hobbyist, but for the serious games writer, the language is insufficient in terms of both its speed and flexibility.

White Lightning is Forth based and therefore has virtually the speed of machine code, no knowledge of the machine is required, the source code is relatively readable, and it is fairly well protected from crashing.

With the advent of the affordable home computer, Pascal has become a very popular language.  In the past four years we have seen a tremendous offering in both Pascal compilers and application software written in the Pascal langauge. The Commodore 64 has become one of the most sought after micros because of its tremendous features at an unbelievably low price.  And the number of high quality software offerings for the Commodore 64 has skyrocketed in the past six months. We believe that ZOOM Pascal 64 is one such package.  It has excellent features at a very reasonable price.
