Challenging*

sophisticated,

advanced,

extra special.Be the world's greatest sleuth — in the most advanced and challenging adventure game ever.

Forthe first time ever, here is an adventure game in which you can talkwithintelligentcharacters. ask them questions

and argue with their conclusions— all In everyday English sentences.

Work against time to solve the mystery as you travel about Victorian England. Villains, suspects and witnesses all live

out their lives in a realistic manner, and you can never be sureof who or what you will find anywhere. You must be alert

because nobody is above suspicion.

In 'Sherlock', the world of the famous private detective comes vividly to life. Time passes naturally: day turns to night,

racing towards the inescapable deadline. You must ensure Sherlock has sufficient time for sleep, money to travel on

public transport and other necessities. And you can rely on Dr. Watson to help you collate information, or gather clues.

'Sherlock' makes the maximum use possible of the 48KSpectrum and is the result of 15 months' work by a team led by

programmer Philip Mitchell, the author of 'The Hobbif. The text and graphics of 'Sherlock' makes it the most exciting

and sophisticated adventure game yet devised.

Study the clues, question the suspects, make the deductions— and match your wits against the most dastardly

criminals in history.

Melbourne House makes the choice of your next computer adventure elementary.

Rebalancethis shThe BBC Micro can now give an

astonishing new account of itself.

Because with Acornsolfs new 16K

ViewSheet ROM, it develops a head for

figures which can save you a vast amount

of arduous brainwork.

Imagine, for instance, that you had to

make several adjustments to a balance

sheet

If you made those adjustments on

ViewSheet, it would revise the balance

automatically in a split second.

Or imagine that you had to add 15%

VATto every figure on a price list contain-

ing 500 items.

ViewSheetcan add thetaxtoeachand

every one ofthose items simultaneously.

And once again, in virtually a second.

As simple as pencil and paper.

ViewSheet is a computer-based

spreadsheet, the figure processing

version of a word processor.

With 255 columns in width and

255 rows in depth, its also one of the

largest spreadsheets on the marketOriginating the sheet is as easy as

originatingan ordinary worksheet with

pencil and paper.

Because ViewSheet comes with

easy-to-follow reference card.

It enables even the most inexperienced

users to feed all the data they need to use,

and store on disc or cassette, into the BBCMicro.

You can nominate headings and sub-

headings. And you can create bareharls to

display figures graphically.

Ten windows for perfect vision.

The sheer size of ViewSheet makesit impossible for the whole sheet to be

visible on the monitor at once.

That"s why ViewSheet has ten windows,

enabling you to see up to ten different

sections of the sheet at any one time.

You can summon the windows onto

eet inonesecondthe screen at the press of a key.

You can cross-reference sections, or

even reposition them on the sheet, when-

ever you need to.

And you can print them out individ-

ually, as well as all together.

The possibilities an- virtually endless.

By creating special disc files from

ViewSheet, you can link two or more

spreadsheets togelher.Thismeansyou can

build models much bigger than the

BBC Micro's considerable memory.

ViewSheet isalso compatible with

AcornsolVs View word-processing

package. This enables you to pro-

duce reports and documents which

combine textand figures.

In addition, you can use

ViewSheet in

any screen

mode,

making the most of the BBC Micros

potential. And if you use it with the 6502

second processor, you'll have no less than

30K of workspace in any mode.

For only £59.80.

i too can have figures like this.you t

The ViewSheet ROM can be fitted by

your BBC Micro dealer in less than three

minutes. And with its straightforward

user guide, function

key card and refer-

ence card, it'll soon have you

juggling figures at lightning

speed.

Indeed, at only £59.80, its

an invaluable asset loranyone involved

in professional or personal finance,

forecasts, formulae and
