NOW YOUNG BLADES GO FOR IT! In days of old when men were bold and problem pages hadn't been invented, men fought to the death for the hand of a fair lady. Romantic Spectrum owners can now battle it out for the favours of the belle of the local computer club with this latest sword fighting simulation. The game is for two players at the same time using the left and right hand sides of the keyboard. Comprehensive sword controls enable you to parry, cut, thrust, and move left or right. When a fight is over - one of the players will either have died or surrendered - the program gives you an action replay to show the vanquished cavalier where he went wrong. The dual is fought over a limited time. If nobody is killed in this period the match is drawn. Swordfight at Midnight runs on Sinclair Spectrum in 16 or 48K and costs £4.95 from Firefly Software plus 35 postage. Firefly is a new software house set up by four sixth-formers from [redacted].
