This
is an odd piece of software from, it seems when I investigated,
Holland. Neither marketed or copyrighted, this absolutely
amazing program is one of my favourite all time computer
games. The actual program is simple, load it up and
when it has loaded RUN it. The computer will NEW
leaving 11,999 bytes free and the message *2010*
on the screen. This is not a SYS call, but the
name of a group of hackers, also known as the Professionals.
Type in aT1 and you will get a fantastic bass tom tom
thud from the computer. There are four tom toms at your
disposal along with two high hats, two cymbals, two
bass drums, two snares and three cow bells.
By
typing a simple BASIC program using FOR . . . NEXT
loops you can build fantastic drum solos which have
to be heard to be believed. There are two sets of POKES
which speed up, slow down or blend the drums to
add even greater realism to your creative bashing. Some
of the ones Gary and I have programmed are incredibly
realistic and would do Cozy Powell proud.
The
quality of the drum sound is unbelievable, it's sooooo
realistic it sounds just like a recording! There are
also joystick and keyboard modes you can use, keyboard
uses all the keys on the top row and joystick mode requires
two joysticks. Using the joysticks is ace fun and I
kept on playing and playing until someone threw a brick
at me and told me to turn the monitor down by 90 decibels.
This
program is absolutely wonderful and if you can get hold
of it in any shape or form I'd thoroughly recommend
you do. With the memory left from the digitising you
can make solos which go on for hours on end. TRULY MAGNIFIQUE!!!
