The following listings were published in the April 1987 issue of ''[[Amstrad Action]]'':

* Psychedelic Strobe (Stephen Stokes)
* Curve (Jamie Wynn)
* Disk Inlay (Mark Gannon)
* Shapemaker (A. Hilton)
* Multi-coloured Modes and Border (T. A. Shah) - an improved version of ''Multi-coloured Modes'', which was published in the [[Amstrad Action February 1987 Type-Ins|February 1987]] issue
* Spirograph (Andrew Smith) - requires BASIC 1.1
* 3D Picture Designer (M. J. Williams) - requires BASIC 1.1
* Scrolling Message (Mark Bonsher)

No listings were published in the Problem Attic and Hot Tips sections.

Although ''Amstrad Action'' pointed out that ''3D Picture Designer'' only works on CPC664 and CPC6128 machines, they neglected to mention that this is also the case for ''Spirograph''.

== Bugs ==

''Multi-coloured Modes and Border'' contains a minor bug. When entering the first listing, if a <tt>DATA</tt> statement is not typed in correctly, an error is displayed, but the number of the line containing the error is incorrect. However, the program still works if it is typed in without any mistakes (which is quite difficult!).

''3D Picture Designer'' contains a bug; when the user is told to press a key to save the picture on the screen, nothing happens.
