-The first games published by Supersoft for the Commodore PET included Air Attack (see the Blitz computer game) and Super Glooper, the latter based on the popular arcade game Pac-Man. A text adventure game based on Douglas Adams's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was withdrawn following legal action. The game's programmer, Bob Chappell, rewrote the game to remove all references to Hitchhiker, and Supersoft republished it as "Cosmic Capers." The most successful business program developed by Supersoft was Busicalc, a spreadsheet program originally produced for Commodore PET, and converted into Vic-20 and Commodore 64; was one of Supersoft's most successful products in the UK and became the company's first and most successful product in the US, where it was released under license by Skyles Electric Works.
+===== Description =====
-In 1984 development began on a cricket game for the Commodore 64, which was programmed by Michael McLean and released the following year as Graham Gooch's Test Cricket by Audiogenic Software, a newly formed subsidiary of Supersoft. From 1985 onwards, Supersoft focused on home office programs and utilities, as the Audiogenic name was better known in the gaming business.
+It's a perfect game despite the monochrome green screen of the PCW, grass, grass and more grass marked with white lines. The simulation allows us to play 40, 55 or 60 games and two games full of possibilities. At first the configuration is established with Australia and England, but the names of the teams and players can be changed.
-In 1987, Supersoft released Microvox, a high-quality digital sampler for the Commodore 64 that, with accompanying software, was developed by Andrew Trott. While only hundreds were sold (the device cost more than the computer), many were used by serious musicians and in professional studios, and one was provided to Feargal Sharkey, the former lead singer of The Undertones.
+The game is developed in two modes, simulation and arcade, the first refers to a relaxing game that we can simply sit and watch and in the second much more participation is needed. One or two players can participate, the computer has nine rating levels in a single player game.
-Although Supersoft still exists, the company has not developed any new products for retail sale since 1990. The company is wholly owned by Peter Calver.
+The basic game screen shows one screen viewed from the pitch itself and the other from a view with views from the stands. The two teams are chosen from a squad of 20 players, each having different abilities in hitting and hitting the ball. Once the team and the type of game have been selected, you can start playing.
+In simulation mode you only have to choose the batter's tactic and what part of the field we should attack by batting. The arcade mode requires that the user at the time of making the shot when hitting two keys are pressed as an alternative to improve the performance of the player and the batting when we run. If the ball is sent to the sides of the screen, another screen will appear automatically showing us where the ball was sent.
+All the usual rules of the game are those of the LBW, and all the concepts of the game are saved, such as catches, exhaustion, clean pitches, tired hitters in long periods, a new ball, statements and complements. The graphics are very well animated and the game well thought out and presented. The computer can provide strong opposition and the player's players are a lot of fun. It will delight all cricket fans and many more.

+Custom labels to print them. Over the years due to their use, the labels are spoiled and lose their color and quality. Now we try to adapt the closest thing to the best of our ability, the labels so that they can be printed and replaced or for those who work with a copy of the program and preserve the original disk. Measure in 3 “high: 7.00 cm - width: 7.10 cm.
