Three new educational programs on cassette tape will be released on a monthly 
schedule.

The first is the "Morse code trainer" (with advanced levels). It has (9) levels 
and (3) speeds. A learn and test mode with two screens.

The second is the "Astro-Analyst." How much does your Astrocade know about you? 
A terrific party game. Makes excellent use of graphics to present you with (13) 
sets of (3) symbols. Pick one of each set and the Astro-Analyst will "analyze" 
your choices. Based on actual symbolic interpretations.

The third is the "Rhythm Box." For musicians, improvisationists, students.
Take out your guitar, dust off that piano seat, your Astrocade wants to join 
the band. You play the lead. You improvise the melody. The Astrocade will back 
you up and keep the beat! Remote control of start/fade-out and vibrato on/off. 
Schematic included shows how to build a footswitch and a tone shaper (mini 
synthesizer). Two blues styles. Two ballads. Two pop styles. And one rock 
style. Three speeds. Choice of 4/4 or 3/4 timing.

There are very few educational programs for the Astrocade. Yet educational 
programs are very well suited for BASIC. The Astrocade has a powerful Tiny 
BASIC interpreter. It allows for easy control of graphics, color and music 
without very much POKING.

All programs are in Astro BASIC 2000 baud. Prices are $9 for the "Morse Code 
Trainer," $7 for the "Astro-Analyst," and $8 for the "Rhythm Box." Prices are 
subject to change but every effort will be made to keep them steady for 1984. 
Complete documentation is included with each program. Quality cassette tapes 
are used. Approximately one in ten tapes is pulled and checked for proper 
loading. First class mail is used. Personal checks are accepted subject to 
collection. Money orders speed delivery.
