All about ProAction
Hello ... I'm David Bradforth, and I've recently relaunched a range of
titles for the BBC Micro, Master 128 / Master Compact and Acorn Electron.
Remember the days when Clogger kept many a person stuck to their computer
screen, or maybe even Frak? Well they're still here ... so read on!
Despite contributing to the RISC OS press on an occasional basis, my Master
128 was crying out for some good, strong, commercial support - so I got to
work and arranged to rerelease the Impact / Fourth Dimension back catalogue,
which then expanded to cover titles from Pineapple Software, Superior
Software, The Really Good Software Company and more - there are a few
companies interested in passing educational software, utilities, games, etc.
all over to my organisation for rerelease. So you see, the market is as
strong as we, the users, make it.
Glancing at the product list, I see 20-odd products which we are now
publishing, alongside perhaps seven other BBC products which we can also
distribute.
The games list is shown below, basically because I do not want to describe
this is in a paragraph. The other seven products consist of three from the
Triple 'R' Education range - Target Maths, Money Matters and Picture Book -
and four ROMs which I am now distributing.
SpellMaster is Computer Concept's answer to the problems of a dictionary in
View or Wordwise. Easy to use, and packed full of features, it used to be
priced at £45(ish), and is now available at £15.
PrintMaster is described, simply enough, as The printer utility ROM for the
BBC micro. Again, this is £15.
Wordwise Plus needs little introduction. A powerful wordprocessor, made
even more powerful by the inclusion of a programming language. Again, this
is just £15.
Helping Hand, from The Data Store, extends the usability of the ADFS to even
the earliest beginner. Again, this is priced at £15.
Full specifications are available on the above ROMs, and as an exclusive
launch offer to 8-bit Software members, if you buy three of the ROMs, we'll
give you the fourth for a fiver. That's four useful ROMs for just £50!
Please quote 8BS membership number when ordering. Alternatively, until 31st
March 1997, you can have any ROM for £12.50 - again, please quote 8BS
membership number.
The ROMs are strictly subject to availablility - if we have no stock, then
nobody has any new ROMs left!
