The following listings were published in the March 1994 issue of ''[[Amstrad Action]]'':
* An unnamed listing in the Basically Basic column, which draws a rocket and a star on the screen - requires BASIC 1.1
* An unnamed listing in a feature entitled "Sonic Boom", which plays a short piece of music
* Mini-Cars (R. Hotchkiss and S. Wheeldon) - requires BASIC 1.1
* Parrot (Ray Collins)
* TypeChecker (Simon Forrester)
* Grab Converter (author unknown)
''Amstrad Action'' neglected to mention that the Basically Basic listing and Mini-Cars do not work on CPC464 machines, due to their use of commands that are only available in BASIC 1.1.
''Parrot'' is a modified version of a listing that was published in the book ''[[Sensational Games for the Amstrad CPC464]]''. This was confirmed by a reader who wrote a letter to ''Amstrad Action'', which was published in the [[Amstrad Action, Issue 104, 1994|May 1994]] issue (#104).
''Grab Converter'' was originally intended to feature on the covertape included with the [[Amstrad Action, Issue 99, Dec 1993|December 1993]] issue (#99); however, for unknown reasons, it did not appear on that covertape.
