MSX at CETEX

WELL over 100 electronics companies exhibited at CETEX (Consumer Electronics Trade Exhibition) at Earls Court last week.

Three Japanese companies — JVC, Mitsubishi and Toshiba — had their MSX machines on display, although the micros reaching the UK this autumn will be modified versions.

A number of working Amstrad CPC 464s were on view with running software from Bourne Educational Software. GEC were also displaying the now ill-fated Dragons 32, 64 and the new £700 Professional machine, plus a new range of business software for the latter.

On the software side. Atari were advertising their new range of software, both for the Atari machines and conversions of games such as Pole Position for Spectrum, Commodore, BBC and Electron.
