Rocten'Roll

1 is back

L in town

In a deluge of

colour and

music, save the

SATISFACTION GUARANTEED!

As quick as a ﬂash, ﬁnd out the

"timeless classic", the "golden

oldie", the records which

made Rock'n'Roll. And, of

course, the ﬁrst 45 cut by the

King himself, Elvis Presley. All

these records must be placed

where they belong... THE

JUKE BOX.

jjS is the fulﬁlment of techni-

cal performances. More than

27 colours on the main game

screen (on both Amiga and

(

Atari !), and up to 100 colours

on the other screens. And

don't turn a deaf ear! JJS also

has 400 kb of Rock'n'Roll and

FX sounds.

' a classical catas-

trophe. Classical

music (yuk !) in its

most tortureous form has

overrun the world. With

monsters so hideously hide-

ous, so exaggeratingly evil, so

barbarously bad, it's slowly

destroying the last traces of the

only great music._ Rock'n'Roll.

JUMPING JACK SON is our

only hope.

JUMPING JACK SON is a

Magical, Musical, Visual, Mys-

tery Tour... An ear splitting,

eye popping adventure.

JUMP at the opportunity and

JIVE into the action.

AVAI LABLE ON ATARI ST, STE, AMIGA.
