# Synchro-Sette May 1984

Cassette to accompany the [May 1984 issue of Synchro-Sette](/issue/synchro-sette-v3-n5/).

The label reads “Subscription tape for May/84, both sides”. The tape opens with a menu program, LOADER, which lists the seven programs that follow and loads the one chosen with keys 1 to 7. This issue’s bulletin board announces that Synchro-Sette will stop publishing after the October 1984 issue.

- **Binary Teacher**: shows numbers from 0 to 255 in binary, with place-value boxes.
- **Hexer**: a digit-swapping game against the computer using shuffled hexadecimal digits.
- **Photon**: a machine code beam that bounces around a black box and traces a pattern.
- **Short-Route**: race a countdown to clear every starred cell on a 5×7 grid.
- **Enigma**: a number-reversal trick that usually ends in 1089.
- **Quick-Pay**: a payroll calculator with three ways of handling overtime.
- **Bulletin**: the Synchro-Sette bulletin board, with scrolling news for May 1984.
