This issue features a collection of humorous novellas and parodies based on classic games like Winnie the Pooh, Dizzy in Russia, Laser Squad, and Star Heritage. Readers will find an expert walkthrough guide for The Great Escape, alongside deep-dive programming articles covering Z80 interrupts and assemblers such as TASM, ALASM, and ZX-ASM.
