PUBLIC HOUSE After a break last month to make room for the Soundtracker instructions, Public House returns with a vengeance. And a couple of demos. But no Brit special. Hee hee hee! Look, it's not my fault. Okay, a couple of Brit PD libraries have sent in lists of programs, but to date only one has actually sent a sample tape. Tsk. Erm... so I guess I'll have to dive back to my pile of PD from across the waters. (Sounds of someone diving back into his pile of PD from across the waters.) A-ha! A couple of demos from The Mad Guys and Pentagram, plus a new group called SSC. They'll do nicely. By the way, you'll notice I'm now giving demos a certificate rating as well as a score. If the demo contains bad language or objectionable sentiments. I'll give it a 'Naughty' rating. Better safe than sorry, eh? Grafix Bank One By Vision of The Mad Guys Not at all naughty Reviewer: Jon Pillar Oh dear. Well, I guess it had to happen sometime: a poor demo. Grafix Bank One is a collection of eight graphic screens, with a music track and a bouncy scroll. Erm, and that's it. Oh! Actually, there are only seven graphic screens (the eighth wouldn't fit in memory). And the music is incredibly repetitive, and the scrolly message really doesn't go anywhere. Overall, about as entertaining as tying a bit of string to a stick, then bouncing the stick up and down in an entirely unentertaining sort of way.

There are two ways of looking at this picture. One, this is a very scary robot who's about to shoot you. Two, it's a very scary robot with incredibly big yellow teeth.
