Description
This is the collector's hardback edition of Meteoric Programming for the Oric-1The Oric-1 8-bit home computer was released in 1982 and would go on to sell more than 150,000 units in the UK alone. It was considered a rival to the popular ZX Spectrum, with its advantage being a much better keyboard than Sir Clive's rubber monster. Despite official production ceasing just two years after its launch, clones of the machine were produced in Eastern Europe well into the 1990s.This popular guide to the Oric-1 was first published in 1983 by Melbourne House. It helped many owners of the much-loved machine not only take their first steps in programming, but also introduced them to the more advanced features of the machine. To this day it remains a highly useful guide for those interested in retro games programming on the classic machine.* * *As the original publisher Melbourne House wrote:

WARNING

Your Oric-1 is about to become Meteoric.

Now you can achieve Meteoric software performance from your micro with this collection of 30 dynamic programs, designed specifically for the Oric-1 home computer.

You can test your skill with arcade action games such as Luna Landa, Eliminator, and North Sea Copter, or attempt to solve the mind stretching mathematical and educational exercises.

These programs fully extend the excellent colour resolution of the Oric-1 to its maximum!

The book includes many practical utilities that will enable you to really improve your own programs. These useful routines include Renumber, Machine Code Monitor, Block Line Deletion and Graphics Aid.

Even if you are a beginner, you can enter all the programs yourself due to Meteoric programming's easy to understand format.

Your overall knowledge of computer operation will be expanded too. Each program features an in-depth explanation of how and why it runs and illustrations of screen display back up the text to ensure you understand exactly what will be achieved.

Experienced programmers who want to develop their own Meteoric programs will really appreciate all the expert hints and tips that have been included in the book.

Whether you're a first timer or an old hand, you can't afford to miss the only book that will make your Oric-1 Meteoric.
