... SUPER EXPLODE! V5.0..
REVIEWED BY FENDER TUCKER.. HERE AT
LOADSTAR WE BELIEVE IN.CARTRIDGES, ESPE
CIALLY ONES THAT HAVE.ALL OF THEIR GOODI
ES ON THEIR OWN.CHIPS AND LEAVE OUR BELO
VED C-64S.INTACT. WE'VE ALREADY REVIEWE
D WARP.SPEED, SUPER SNAPSHOT V4, AND.JIF
FYDOS, WHICH IS NOT TECHNICALLY A.CARTRI
DGE. LET'S SEE HOW EXPLODE!.COMPARES...
FIRST OF ALL, EACH CARTRIDGE.WE'VE T
RIED SPECIALIZES IN SOMETHING.DIFFERENT
SO A STRAIGHT COMPARISON.ISN'T EXACTLY A
PT... EXPLODE! IS MAINLY A GRAPHICS.U
TILITY WHICH WILL ALLOW YOU TO GRAB.MULT
I-COLOR, HI-RES OR TEXT SCREENS.AND SEND
THEM TO DISK OR PRINTER..HOWEVER, IT AL
SO HAS A FAST LOADER AND.SINGLE-DRIVE FI
LE COPIER BUILT IN... IT ALSO HAS SOM
E NEAT DOS AIDS.THAT I REMAINED UNAWARE
OF FOR QUITE.A WHILE BECAUSE THEY AREN'T
LISTED ON.THE SCREEN MENUS. YOU HAVE T
O READ.ABOUT THEM IN THE DOCS, WHICH YOU
.HAVE TO PRINT OUT... EXPLODE! COMES
WITH A "UTILITY.DISK" WHICH HAS SOME DOO
DLE AND KOALA.PICS ON IT AS WELL AS A "D
OCS.PRINTER" AND SUPER FILE COPIER...
I DIDN'T LIKE THE "DOCS PRINTER".SINCE
IT REQUIRED THAT I MANUALLY.LOAD EACH OF
THE SEVEN FILES OF TEXT..HOWEVER, IT PR
INTS OUT FAST, IF NOT.GRAMMATICALLY. TH
EN I TRIED THE FILE.COPIER FROM THE UTIL
ITY DISK. IT'S.AN EXCELLENT, FAST, ONE-
OR TWO-DRIVE.FILE COPIER. I HAVE LOTS
OF FILE.COPIERS AND THIS ONE IS GOOD. I
'D.RATE IT EQUAL TO MAVERICK'S. IF.YOU'
RE USING OUR "COPY IT" FOR MORE.THAN JUS
T "IN A PINCH", PLEASE GET A.GOOD FILE C
OPIER. TIME IS PRECIOUS... THE REST
OF THE UTILITY DISK IS.FILLER... SWINTH,
PICS, 1526 PRINT.DUMP, AND A PROGRAM TH
AT LOADS AND.DISPLAYS A PIC, THEN BOOTS
A PROGRAM... THE DOS AIDS I SPOKE OF
ARE THE.USUAL WEDGE, PLUS THESE NEAT ONE
-KEY.SHIFT-PLUS-LETTER COMMANDS THAT YOU
.CAN USE DIRECTLY ON THE DIRECTORY,.WHIC
H IS TABBED OVER THREE SPACES... LOAD
AND RUN THE FILE. READ ASCII TEXT FILE
. READ FILES START ADDRESS.
(HEX AND DECIMAL). READ ANY FILE TO S
CREEN..SOME OTHER SHIFT KEY COMMANDS ARE
:.. TEXT SCREEN DUMP. CHANGE DRIVE T
O 8. CHANGE DRIVE TO 9... BESIDES T
HE ABOVE, UN-DOCUMENTED.COMMANDS, THERE
ARE TWO MENUS OF.GRAPHICS COMMANDS THAT
YOU SEE WHEN.YOU ENTER FROM BASIC...
THIS IS THE HEART OF THE EXPLODE!.CARTRI
DGE. YOU CAN CAPTURE ANY.SCREEN, HI-RES
, MULTICOLOR, TEXT,.CUSTOM CHARACTER TEX
T, OR ANY.COMBINATION OF THE ABOVE (SPLI
T-.SCREENS) AND CONVERT THEM FROM ONE TO
.ANOTHER. I MADE HARDCOPIES OF ALL OF.T
HE LOADSTAR TITLE PICS WITH VERY.LITTLE
EFFORT ON MY STAR NX-1000C..THE MANUAL S
AYS THAT STAR RAINBOW-TYPE.COLOR PRINTER
S ARE 100% SUPPORTED..TOO BAD WE DON'T H
AVE ONE.... THE MANUAL GIVES A LOT OF
.INFORMATION ON HOW TO CAPTURE "TOUGH".S
CREENS WHICH HAVE SPRITES OR RASTER.LINE
SPLITS, BUT IT WILL REQUIRE SOME.CONCEN
TRATED READING. IT'S PRETTY.TECHNICAL.
WE DIDN'T GO INTO THE.GRAPHICS CAPABILI
TIES OF SUPER.SNAPSHOT IN OUR REVIEW OF
IT, BUT IT.LOOKS TO ME THAT EXPLODE! IS
AS GOOD... THE BUILT-IN FAST LOADER I
S VERY.FAST. I GAVE IT THE ACID TEST BY
.BOOTING SIDE FOUR OF LOADSTAR #65.FROM
SCRATCH AND HERE ARE THE FIGURES:.. E
XPLODE! 20 SECONDS. SUPER SS
26 SECONDS. WARP SPEED 30 SEC
ONDS.. I USE EXPLODE! TO TEST LOADSTA
R.SINCE IT'S FAST AND DOESN'T TAKE ANY.R
AM FROM BASIC LIKE WARP SPEED DOES...
THERE IS NO FULL-DISK COPIER WITH.EXPLO
DE! IT'S DISABLED IN THE 128.MODE BUT T
HERE'S A SWITCH ON THE.CARTRIDGE SO YOU
CAN LEAVE IT IN.WHEN YOU GO 128. IT CAN
NOT CAPTURE.PROGRAMS LIKE SUPER SNAPSHOT
... MY CONCLUSION? IF CAPTURING.GRAP
HICS SCREENS IS IMPORTANT TO YOU,.EXPLOD
E! IS GREAT. IF YOU ONLY USE.IT FOR ITS
DOS AIDS AND FASTLOADER,.YOU'LL STILL B
E HAPPY WITH IT. IT'S.NOT QUITE AS HAND
Y AS WARP SPEED OR.SUPER SNAPSHOT...
IT SELLS FOR AROUND $45 FROM THE.SOFT GR
