Along with the robots are an number of human forms that wander aimlessly about the screen. To save these lost souls, you need only to run over them Points are awarded for successive rescues on an escalating basis (1.000, 2.000. 3.000. 4,000, 5,000 and 5,000 thereafter) There are six bad guys to look out for Five of them can be destroyed One cannot, he must be avoided The dumbest of the aliens is the Grunt. Wielding no weapons, the Grunt merely follows you about the screen Collision with a Grunt will cost you one game life. Spheroids are more deadly They initially appear as red circles, but an unchecked Spheroid gives birth to a fold of Enforcers Enforcers, easily identifiable by their "fire hydrant" shape, hurl enforcer sparks Make the Spheroids your first priority each round Once By Michael Blanchet Robotron. the latest creation by Eugene (Defender) Jarvis, is a fast, funous and futuristic game with a classic B movie plot. The year is 2084. Robots, bent on total domination, are plotting to reprogram the few remaining humans. Because you possess a rare idiosyncrasy in your genetic structure, you are immune to the robots reprogramming process. The task of salvaging the final remnants of mankind rests on your shoulders. Utilizing two joysticks (one for moving, one for firing), you move about the playfield, blasting the bad guys and saving the good guys. Endless Sea of Robots At the beginning of each round, your man" appears in the center of the playfield amidst an endless sea of eight-positio- ever-increasi- n Hazards to Health Posed By Household Animals and in these cases the rural area animal should be captured and observed for 10 days if possible. Remember, though, that rabies is almost unheard of in the urban, domestic immunized dog, and usually rabies shots are not necessary. Infections Pets kept in the home can transmit diseases, although fortunately most of them are rare. Cat and dog owners who have young children should be particuespecially if stray larly careful animals are around. Children under the age of three who play in areas (often sandboxes) where cats or dogs have defecated, may eat dirt containing worm eggs in the animal's excreta and thus may become ill from round-worparasites. Cats and puppy feces should be examined for round-woreggs. The most serious threat from the cat is the parasitic disease toxoplasmosis, which can be acquired from litter boxes and soil. Cat owners should clean out the litter box daily and, once a week, disinfect it. If contracted during pregnancy, it can cause brain damage in a fetus. Pregnant women should wash their hands after handling cats and if possible avoid contact with litter boxes. By George F. Slade, M D More than 60 million cots and dogs share living quarters with families in and for the most the United States part they live peacefully and cause no health hazard at all. Pets, however, can cause infections and allergic reactions, and pet owners should be aware of these hazards and how to deal with them. Allergies, Bites In most cases an allergic reaction to a pet will be very obvious. The recurrent symptoms of asthma or sneezing occur the moment the animal comes in close contact with the allergic person. Unfortunately, removal of the pet from the household is often the only remedy. Animal bites, bo, are understandably of considerable concern. It is estimated that more than one-hamillion animal bites occur in the United States every year, and in most cases a dog is the culprit. What kinds of dogs bite? Potentially, any dog can cause severe injury, but in general the biting dog is young and often caged. Occasionally, a dog that has been trained to attack may turn on children. Parents should be extremely watchful over young children playing with a dog. Many attacks occur even Hamsters, Parakeets when a parent is in the same room. and cats are not the only pets Dogs First Aid, Rabies that carry disease.

By Michael Blanchet The big news at the recent Consumer Electronics show in Chicago was Coleco's ColecoVision system. ColecoVision, which will retail for under $200, has almost 10 times the screen ram of Mattel's Intellivision. (Screen ram regulates the quality and movement of the graphics). Colecos combination joystick-keyboar- d controller has a built-i- n dial that allows players to change the speeds of individual game characters. And the ColecoVision cartridge library reads like a Who's Who" of coin-o- p arcade gamesDonkey Kong (this cartridge will come packed with each ColecoVision set), Mousetrap, Venture and Turbo, to name a few. Three other new home video game systems, ranging in price from $130 to $350, were introduced. The Emerson Arcadia 2001 is at the low end of the price scale. It is the only programmable game system that can be operated on both 12 volt and regular house current. The initial Emerson library consists of 20 titles. - General Consumer Electronics showed a Vectrex. The graphics are black and white, but the Vector monitor is capable of true depth simulation. For those who like color, plastic overlays (a la the original Odyssey) are available. Pride of Atari Ataris new super system, tentatively dubbed the 5200 Advanced Video Entertainment System, was the pride of the Atari booth. At least a dozen cartridges compatible with the 5200 were shown, including home versions of arcade games (Taitos Qix) and a video spin-of- f of the movie blockbuster Raiders of the Lost Ark. The other big news was new cartridges. Imagic, Coleco, Apollo and Parker Brothers showed game cartridges compatible with the Atari, VCS, and Imagic and Coleco showed game cartridges compatible with the Intellivision system. Atari introduced seven new titles, including the aforementioned Raiders of the Lost Ark and updated versions of Atari sports games. And guess whos A request to build public horse stables in an agricultural zone was continued for further review last week by the Salt Lake County Planning and Zoning Commission. The request by owner Brent Sainsbury was challenged by nearby residents who believe the stable operation may become too much of a business. That there operation hes got out there now will become a commercial business before hes through, objected Clyde S. Hill, who said his daughter lives near the stables. Mr. Sainsbury said he has 11 horses at the site, 1910 N. 2450 West, and expects to have about 20 horses after completion of the stable. He said he plans to have hunter and jumper classes, an exercise ring and boarding. The Atari Computer Enthusiasts club held their first annual competition Thursday at Murray High School, 5440 S. State. President Steve Lewis said the turnout of over 60 participants far surpassed his expectations. The games used were produced for home computers by companies other than Atari. Winners with high scores of each game include : Krazy Shootout, Paul Richardson; Threshold. Larry Wilde; Jawbreaker, Derek Lauritzen: and Cross Fire, Chris Acree. Terry Hunt received an award for the second score. highest The A C E. of A C E " award went to Susan Pope for the highest combination of scores.

But Mr. Bawden admitted that Mr. Sainsbury has done a fine job cleaning and fixing up the property, which, according to Mr. Bawden, used to be an LDS church pig farm. It does look better, he said, noting that Mr. Sainsbury has spent any hours of hard work refurbishing the property. But Mr. Bawden said he does not enjoy flies and the odor 150 feet from the back of my house." He suggested that Mr. Sainsbury move his stables to the Utahn Becomes Navy Seaman Navy Seaman apprentice Forest L.
