And Mr. Pickard says he plans to sell them on cassette for other home computers within six months. Each cartridge costs 39.95 for two games and the first consignment is due here by the end of the month. They have names like Cathouse Blues, Philly Flasher, Burning Desire and Knight on the Town. All feature naked men and women and in most cases the aim of the games is for couples to meet in explicit sex scenes. Mr. Pickard said the catridges would have padlocks on the boxes so children could not get to them. Mrs. Whitehouse compared this to the idea of an X-certificate cable TV channel which, if the plan had gone ahead, would have an electronic lock. She said: "Its just plain daft. If you have these things in the house theres no way you can stop children from seeing them. "The cinema is outside the home and children are not allowed to see some films. But anything that comes into the home has to be seen as to its effect on the child. No society should put the interests of the adult before those of its children." Her view is shared by the director of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, Dr. Alan Cilmour. He said: "The view of sex portrayed by such ghastly offering can twist a childs mind for life." Lawyers for Atari are looking into the possibility of taking action against Silverfox - but they can only act if its trademark is being infringed. Ataris UK boss Graham Clark said: "We obviously deplore the stuff. The fact that they say its Atari compatible does not do us any good." And Mike Wilding, software market analyst for the company, said: "We are waiting until they come on to the market. "Im waiting for word from our solicitors on how we stand legally. Unless our trademark is being infringed theres no action we can take. "On the subject matter it would be unfair to comment until we have seen them. If they are breaking the law in other respects its up to the police." --- BASIC, look you Try programming in Welsh BASIC - and, no, its not a joke says the man who has just brought out BASIC CYMRAEG. David Loverseed, proprietor of David Computer Software, said: "Its quite serious, but its hardly a commercial proposition. We did it for fun, really." The program, which costs 6, is loaded after standard BASIC into the Sharp MZ-80A and MZ-80K computers. It automatically translates the tokenised BASIC words into their Welsh equivalent. Programs are interchangeable and can be listed in either Welsh or English, depending on the BASIC loaded, irrespective of the version used to write the program.
