Advert Spring 1983

The new Dragon 32. So well designed, you'll even understand this ad

A three-page Dragon Data advert from the Boots "Freetime" catalogue, Spring 1983. It promises a computer that explains itself in plain English, with no jargon, and lists twelve popular cartridges and cassettes.

  • Price: under £200, TV not included
  • Memory: 32K RAM, "at least twice the power of most similarly priced machines", expandable to 64K
  • BASIC: Extended Microsoft Colour BASIC; 5 octaves, 255 tones
  • Keyboard: "Typewriter feel. Guaranteed for 20 million depressions."
  • Software: twelve cartridges and cassettes, from Ghost Attack to Madness and the Minotaur
