but really this is preaching to
the converted and is of no
use to someone wh o is
already an owner.
I wonder it any o f your
readers would be able to
supply games converted fro m
another format? I am
particularly interested in the
747 Simulator, wh ich is only
available fo r TRS-80 -Genie
owners.
In conclusion, I realise that
you cannot provide listings
for every machine every
month, but it does seem that
a lot o f space is taken up
with new machines i.e.
Spectrum and BBC etc and no
doubt we will be flooded with
Dragon articles. Please
remember that there are
specific mags fo r these
machines, and people such
as myself depend on you, in
the absence o f a Sharp Users
