• Datel Electronics Ltd (Two-page ad)

Full issue on archive.org

Alright, so, turn the page! This Datel Electronics ad is almost as dazzling as a full-screen colour clash. 

Top of the page, there's this "Special Value Pack" - looks like a couple of Quickshot joysticks bundled with a RAM Turbo interface, and to make it even more irresistable, they're chucking in a copy of Super Sprint! The text reckons it's the best joystick interface ever, which is fighting talk, if you ask me.

Below those joytastic beauties, we have the  "OCP Micro Managers" – some kind of business software on Microdrive. There is an Address Manager, Finance Manager and Stock manager, all for £14.99

On the right, we have the "OCP Master Toolkits". It contains a Master toolkit, Editor Assambler and Machine code tester, again all for £14.99

Further down, more interfaces are available, and finally, at the bottom, some contraption called "Ramprint". Seems like a printer interface with a word processor stuffed in, so you can type away without even needing to load a tape. Crikey.

Software on ROM! I totally forgot that used to exist for home computers.
