~The Cheet Sheets Top 5

By Neil Hopkins

This month's Cheet Sheets software top five countdown runs as follows

5. Disczine

Carried through space sellotaped to the back of a magazine, or maybe 
downloaded at the speed of light (1) from a bulliten board somewhere, 
the Disczine is host to a cast of bizarre characters and humerous 
articles. Watch with baited breath as Nasty Nigel fiddles with 
version 1.1 of the cheet sheets patcher , and laugh as he trashes 
the program and realises that he hasn't got a backup! 

Footnote 1
As light travels more slowly through a magical field, the speed of 
light when down loading has been reliably measured as 9600 baud.
 
4. Beneath a Gorin Interface

In a bleak and forbidding future world aided only by your primative 
PC, you must wrestle with a hostile computer interface to extract 
the information that you need (to crack level 30 on Doom II). You 
will need to solve the mysteries that block your path, such as why 
the interface is constantly mutating, whatever happened to the 
Windows version, and what does that little jukebox icon DO exactly?

3. A Lu in the Dark

As fearless adventurer Lu Richardson, you have just thirty days to 
solve the riddle of the latest role playing game, write up the 
solution and send it to Cheet Sheets in time to beat the deadline. 
Will you prevail with your customary logic, skill and daring against 
the horrors of fuzzy graphics, incomprehensible speech with 
terrifying 'English' accents, and a total lack of control of your 
character's actions, or will you be forced yet again to hack the 
character file to give yourself a million hit points and all of the 
magic items.

2. Simon The Hacker

Twenty four hours in the day are simply not enough where Simon the 
Hacker is concerned. Working against the clock, you must solve games,
write down solutions, devise edit cheats, analyse the questionaires 
and still find time to eat, sleep and go to the toilet.

1. Rise of the Roberts

Deep in the secret production facility known as "By the Way", the 
mysterious 'Editor' robot lurks. Only by deluging him with a 
devastating combination of letters, reviews, cheats, hints and tips 
will you stop him from going completely mad as he attempts to 
construct yet another issue of Cheet Sheets. At least 30 days in the 
making, complete with extensive ray traced ascii text and a full CD 
advert (buy the Cheet Sheets CD or else!), this is one title that 
needs no further hype.
