Nineteen of the new cassettes have
been developed for Sinclair by ICL,
the Government-backed computer
firm. The remaining seven cassettes
were developed by specialist software house Psion.
The Fun to Learn series consists
of eight cassettes covering English
literature I and II, geography,
history, mathematics, inventions,
spelling and music. Each cassette
costs £6.95 including VAT. An additional eight cassettes, costing £4.95
plus VAT each, make up the latest
set of Sinclair Research ZX-81 Super
Programs series of games, quiz and
conversion programs.
Other cassettes include Biorhythms, a six-level chess program
and Space Raiders and Bombers.
Flight Simulation puts you in the
cockpit of an aircraft and judges
your response to the controls and the
outside world.
All the cassettes need the 16K
RAM pack except for five of the
Super Programs series which only
need 1K. These cassettes are available from Sinclair Research Ltd, 6
King's Parade, Cambridge CB2 ISN.
Sinclair has lowered the price of its
16K RAM pack from £49.95 to
£29.95 including VAT. Sinclair says
the reduction was caused by a major
fall in chip costs. But rising production costs have caused Sinclair to
up the price of its printer from
£49.95 to £59.95 plus VAT.
