*  PART 1  - EDITORIAL AND NEWS  *
**********************************

Welcome to the third issue of Emulate! A slightly reduced issue this month in preperation for a bumper Christmas special coming your way in the middle of December. Nevertheless, there is still loads of articles for you to enjoy. We take a look at another popular Speccy character, the Magic Knight, including tips for three games in the series. We have a selection of reviews, both up-to-date and classic! Also, there is a new quiz section, Part 1 of an excellent A-Z book database, plus all the regulars, including tips, adventures, Review guide, charts and of course, loads of high-quality games to keep you occupied in the long winter months! This month sees another exclusive JSW game, in which you can re-enter the Manic Mine! Read on!.....

SPECTRUM NEWS

==========================================

EMULATE! ON THE WEB

Great news this month is that this very magazine is now available as a site on the WWW. This excellent site (even if I do say so myself) has been kindly compiled by Damian Burke. It includes all the things not possible in this text only edition, including screenshots of games, direct links to Internet sites mentioned, as well as far superior presentation! Point your web browser at this site immediately!! :
HTTP://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~dmb/speccy/emulate/index.html

==========================================

NEW FTP SITE?

News perhaps of a new FTP site from which to download your favourite Speccy games, utilities and documents! There may be a chance of a special directory devoted to the Speccy of Demon's FTP site, which as users will know, is very reliable and fast. I am currently talking to Demon about the proposal and will keep you posted!

MOVING HOME

Stephen Smith, author of the Spectrum Games Faq and maintainer of the Speccy Database has moved his base of operations over to NVG UNIT. All the sites he maintained can be accessed from the following address:
HTTP://nvg.unit.no/spectrum/stevo/stevowww/stevowww.htm
Unfortunately, the links do not work as yet - see the Internet section of the magazine for more details on the actual addresses.
This page includes links to the database, faq plus quite a few other pages of interest to Spectrum users, such as the Sinclair User Top 50 games of all time. Certainly worth checking out!
