Multipaint

Your Spectrum

TOUCHING STORY Designed specifically as a robust and easy to use unit, the Touchmaster is a new graphics pad for the Spectrum. There's a range of software available to suit various applications. The unit is supplied with Multipaint -a graphics package that allows you to either doodle or draw complicated designs; specialist modes like 'circle' and 'box' allow you to define the edge points of a shape with a touch of the stylus and the Touchmaster then draws them in for you. Other packages for the Spectrum version include such diverse things as Othello, Perilous Castle (a graphic adventure), Draughts and five learning packages for young children to develop their senses of observation and memory. Each separate package contains the software on cassette, plus an overlay for the graphics pad. A useful feature of the pad is that you can use either the stylus provided or your finger, so children don't even need to be able to hold a pen to use it. The starting package of Touchmaster, power supply, leads and Multipoint is priced at £149.95 and the software packages are £9.99 each. If you choose to upgrade your computer (heaven forbid!) then other interfaces are available for many other machines for around £16. Further details on the Touchmaster are available on [redacted].
