VIDEO TRACKER
You've always wanted to make blinding music and graphic demos. Now you can with Video Tracker! Perfectly synchronised demos and videos are just a few mouse-clicks away with this full operational demo-making package, and video users can go one better with the genlock option. Sorted!
We've got three versions of Video Tracker on coverdisk 83 this month. The first is written to work specifically on 1.3 Amigas, the second is enhanced for Kickstarts versions 2.04 and higher, and the third caters for A1200 and A4000 owners with improved AGA features. See page 15 for instructions on loading the right version for your Amiga.
TACTICAL MANAGER
After Arsenal's superb win the other week, we've gone football mad in the office. This month, the super football management game Tactical Manager graces Coverdisk 84.
What would you say if we said we were going to give you a complete, playable demo of one of the best football management games around? How would you feel if we told you there were absolutely no options disabled whatsoever. The only catch is that after 9 premier Division Saturdays or 11 Divsion One Saturdays, the demo ended, regardless of any number of friendlies or international challenges. We know that you'd be over the moon. That's why we've done it.
STATIX
Yes, we've even managed to cram another game demo onto this disk. If
you've read the review in this issue, then you'll already know how to play
this simple but extremely addictive little Columns clone.
Not available, I don't have this disk. Please send to MrDig@hotmail.com. Thanks.
SIERRA SOCCER
Even more fantastic soccer! play till you drop with this brilliant football game from Sierra.
What if football mangement games aren't your thing? Not to worry, CU AMIGA wouldn't want you to feel left out. Just for you we've added a third disk to this month's issue, complete with a full, playable match between England and the Republic of Ireland in Sierra Soccer - the game so good you'll wonder why they ever spent so much time on adventures.

We received quite a few phone calls about two of last month's demos, Bubble and Squeek and Banshee. These demos will only work on AGA machines (each has a logo on the label saying so, and it's also mentioned in the instructions): ie the A1200 or A4000. Users of other machines will not be able to load and play them. This will also be true of the final versions, should you want to buy them. If you have an A500, A500+, A600, A1500 or A3000 do not buy programs or magazines solely on the strenght of games which are marked for AGA or A1200 only. OctaMED, on disk 80 (worth £45), the fonts and clip art on diks 81 and Bump n' Burn on disk 82 are all compatible with non AGA machines - so don't worry, your disks aren't faulty. Remember, a large proportion of new games are being programmed specifically for AGA macihnes, so watch out for AGA only or A1200 only when purchasing full software packages or magazines. This month's demos are universally compatible with all machines.
Oooops...
We detected an error in the loading instructions for last month's fonts
and clip art. If you have been having problems with it then try the
following: Follow the preview instructions as provided, but change the
line which read 'MAKEDIR FONTS/COLOURFONT' to 'MAKEDIR FONTS/COLOURFONTS'
- notice the extra S. This should now work. Mucho apologies.
