Red Moon crashonline.org.uk/20/redmoon.htm

โ€œthe type-ahead, allowing input while the picture forms, or for that matter, while the program works on anything, is super โ€” not only entertaining but surprisingly useful.โ€

Issue 20 www.crashonline.org.uk/20/

CRASH History: โ€œIt was time for another grotesque cover after three relatively calm ones, and with fangs and venomous saliva foremost in his mind Oliver sought a suitable subject. He found it in Level 9โ€™s Red Moon adventure, which featured mythical beasts.โ€

Tasword +3 review www.crashonline.org.uk/56/tips.htm

โ€œTasword +3 is well-designed and carefully written. Itโ€™s good value, at ยฃ19.95, and if you want to use your +3 as a word processor it will serve you well. Most of the limitations are Amstradโ€™s...โ€
