AMOS PD Compiled and Non Amos Games
GPD001
Llamatron
There are two versions of this Jeff Minter game on the disc - a 1
megabyte version and a 1/2 megabyte version. You basically must control
your Llama and shoot at everything that appears to gain access to the
next level. You can collect goats for extra power. Nice game with lots
of flashing colours.

Nakamoto - simple platform game, Tontestel - strange ice-skating Gnomes

GPD005
Seven Tiles
Alpha Flight
This is a game not unlike the famous SpeedBall game. The game features
great graphics and music and fantastic, fast gameplay. If you are into
games then theis disc is a must as this is a top quality Public Domain
game!
GPD013
Star Trek Game
Tobias Richter
Please order disk DV14 as well as this is a two disc set. This is the
best Star Trek game to appear in the Public Domain. It features
fantastic gameplay, great sampled sounds and brilliant graphics. If you
are a Trekkie or like space games then get this. You won't be
dissapointed.
GPD017
Frantic Freddy
Very nice platform game. Guide Freddy, helping him to collect the pies
but you must avoid the baddies at all costs. Nice graphics and music
make this a must to add to your PD games collection.
GPD019
Battleforce
This is a very good role playing game which is set in variable terrain
between warring robots. It is a complex game and features lots of
possibilities for different settings. If you like role playing games
then I am sure you will enjoy playing this game.
GPD020
Rain
This disc contains Blizzard and some small pieces of music. Blizzard is
a very fast horizontal shoot-em-up not too different from Uridium (that
brings back memories). The music on the disc is a collection of small
pieces but are very good never the less. There are 9 in all. Plus
users please note:- Type exec start from Cli.
GPD021
Wraithed 1
This disc contains two versions of Quiz Master, Genius 1 and Genius 2
editions. Quiz Master is a simple quiz game like the ones found in Pubs
etc. Also on the disc is a fairly amuzing story about Crumpet the
Dwarf.
GPD028
Games
Three games on this disc: PACMAN87 - not a bad version of PacMan,
RETALIATOR - a Shoot Em Up Construction Kit game (blast everything) nice
graphics, SORRY! - computer version of the board game. Plus users
please note:- Retaliator will load from workbench.
GPD030
Moria
This is a very complicated role playing game that is extremely well
presented but takes ages to complete. You start off by building your
character then wander around a village buying things and then make your
way into the caverns. Very good game.
GPD031
Golden Fleece
Jim Macbrayne
This is a fantastic text only adventure. Everything has had so much
detail put into it including the parser which is very good. If you have
ever played one of Jim's adventures you will know that there is no need
for graphics as everything is described so well and in so much detail.
If you are an adventure buff then this is for you. Plus users please
note:- Use from workbench, will work with perseverance.
GPD032
Holy Grail
Jum Macbrayne
This is another top quality adventure by Jim MacBrayne. This time the
search is on for the Holy Grail. Again there is no need for graphics as
everything is described so well in the text. The game is extremely
atmospheric and the humour in places is very good. Again this is a must
for adventure fans everywhere! Plus users please note:- Will work from
workbench with perseverance
GPD034
Flashbier
Now here's a game based on an old idea but with a modern twist. The
game is basically a BoulderDash clone but instead of collecting diamonds
you must collect bottles of your favourite tipple! The games music and
graphics are superb and the gameplay itself is lightning fast. There
are lots and lots of levels to keep you amused for ages. Game fan?
This is a must!
GPD036
Colossus
This disc contains the Colossus adventure and a very complex adventure
writer that is in no way suited to people not suited to the Amiga or
adventures. It is not very easy to use. The disc also includes a text
adventure called World.
GPD037
Megaball
Very good BreakOut game with all the modern tweaks such as expandable
bat, lasers, slow up etc. as well as some pitfalls such as compress bat
or explode! The game is very well presented with good music and
graphics. I know many versions of BreakOut have been programmed but
this one stands out from the rest.
GPD039
Chinese Checkers
This is a brilliant computerised version of the old Chinese Checkers
board game. Basically the board is a six pointed star and you have to
move your checkers over to the opposite side of the board first. Very
enjoyable game to either play against the computer or against 5 other
people.
GPD040
Board Games
There are three popular board games that have been converted to the
Amiga. The games are Klondike, Cleudo and Monopoly. All the games are
very good copies of their board game counterparts. Plus users please
note:- Cludeo works from the Cli others need Amiga basic.
GPD041
Necronom Demo
Linel
The disc contains a rolling demo of the forthcoming game by Linel. The
demo features brilliant sound and graphics showing how good the
scrolling shoot em up will be and it does look impressive. Try before
you buy!
GPD042
Starfleet
StarFleet is a simple game written with the Shoot Em Up Construction
Kit. It is basically a simple blast featuring some quite good graphics
but the game is not technically amazing!
GPD043
Mayhem
Very professionally presented disc featuring Mayhem. Mayhem is a flip
screen game in which you must guide your ship safely through caverns,
deactivating doors on your way etc. The graphics and sound are very
good. Also on the disc is a vector demo and instructions on playing the
game.
GPD044
Games
Five great games on this disc. Breaker - another Breakout clone but
this time with a nice level editor, Welltrix - this is a variation on
the popular game Tetris but this time in 3D, China Challenge - remove
all the tiles by matching pairs, Mechanoid - this is a spoof version of
asteroids in which you shoot faces and Quattro - a fairly nice version
of Tetris.
GPD045
Games
This disc contains three Shoot Em Up Construction Kit games. WolfBane -
space shoot-em-up, 109 - World War II shoot-em-up, Death - another space
shoot-em-up. It must be said that the quality of these games is not
very good as SEUCK was not a very good package in the first place!
GPD046
Games
Five classic games have been converted to the Amiga to make up this
disc. The games are Cleudo, Othello, Klondike, Cribbage and Canfield.
Quite a good collection of games.
GPD047
Wizzy's Quest
Whizzy's quest is a very proffessional platform game featuring nice
graphics, animation and sound. The game is very nice to play and is
full of humour. The disc is worth it for this game alone but there is
also a graphical adventure called Castle Of Doom on the disc which isn't
bad.
GPD048
Paranoid
There are two games on this disc. Metagalactic Llamas, a conversion of
a Jeff Minter game, is a strange game where you have to shoot spiders
coming down from the top of the screen with your Llama! Paranoid is yet
another Breakout game (when will it all end!) with a level editor. This
is extremely fast.
GPD050
Hack
This is a very old role playing game and the graphics aren't up to much
but if you are a fan of role playing games then you will love it as it
is very in-depth. I have been playing it for ages and there are lots of
places to explore. Even though this is old it is still very enjoyable.
GPD051
Games
There are nine (yes 9) games crammed onto this disc. The games are
Number Fumbler, LadyBug, Bug, Paccy, Galaxians, Shootout, Tetris
Metallica, Pharaohs Curse and Cosmoroids. Most of the games are very
well presented and all of them are very enjoyable. This is an essential
games disc.
GPD052
Games
Three well presented old classic games on one disc all selectable from a
novel menu. The games are: REBOUND - a BreakOut game (how original)
with a level editor (played horizonally instead of vertically which
makes a change, INVADERS - a nice game in the style of defender on the
old Atari console and GRIDRUNNER - another nice version of a classic
game. Very fast. Good games disc.
GPD057
Insiders Club
This is a Stockmarket game in which you have to make money and control
companies. If money allows you can also visit the Insiders Club to gain
'inside' information to help you. The game is Shareware and full
instructions are included on the disc. Quite a good game. Plus users
please note: Will load from workbench.
GPD060
Games
Disc containing four games: WordPuzzle - word search game with lots of
different searches to be completed, AirAce - well presented
Shoot-Em-Up-Construction-Kit game with nice graphics, Mosaic - tile game
in which you have to aim to connect colours as much as possible and
StopWatch - a timer with lap facility etc.
GPD063
War Game
This War Game simulates the Napoleonic War. There are no graphics but
the game is highly detailed and is quite complex. Good game but would
take a long time to complete.
GPD065
Games
8 games on this packed disc. Jumpy - Platform game with level editor,
King - card game, Raps - board game, FiveInALine-a Connect4 variant,
CRobots - a game based on 'C' programming, Death - shoot-em-up, SB - a
version of breakout and Tiny! - a small screened workbench version of
Baseball!
GPD067
Games
This disc contains 3 different card games. The games are Harp, Plait
and Queens and are very well presented and easy to play. There is also
a game called push on this disc which is not too unlike Pukadu.
GPD068
Block It!
A weird game this one. You control a little character and you have to
shoot different type of blocks at a square made up of these blocks,
getting rid of the same block type! Sounds simple eh? Well it is but
the game is extremely playable and very addictive. Nice presentation
also!
GPD075
Games
Eight nice games on this disc: Train Set - Build a track and watch the
trains go round, Yawn! - Put numbered tiles into the correct order,
World - Text adventure, Montana - Solitare card game, AmigaWorm - Nicely
presented version of a classic game, Pipeline - Like 'Pipemania' let the
oil flow through the pipes, Bounce - Strange game which involves
bouncing into crystals and Mines - get through a minefield by using
co-ordinates.
GPD076
Games
Eleven games on one disc (yes 11!): Drip - fantastic game of rusting
pipes, Bally - color in sections of the screen, YahZee - computer
version of the classic game, TicTacToe - simple O's and X's game, Stepz
- logic game involving moving arrows around, Amoeba - great version of
invaders, Othello - good version of the old counters swapping game, Tron
- light cycles, Chess - don't think this needs explaining, Tiles - good
version of Shanghai and Daleks - simple game of avoiding Daleks!
GPD077
Bits & Bats
A bit of a mixed bag this disc. WonderSound - harmonic instrument
design tool, Swish - makes the screen float!, AmigaTration - match the
cards in this Amiga version of Concentration, Conquest - war simulator
similar to Risk, CheatSheet - lots and lots of game cheats, SolitareX -
card game of Solitare, Memmon - shows memory available. Nice collection
of programs.
GPD083
Larn 12.06
This is another old role playing game played and looking much the same
as Hack. The graphics aren't too brilliant but the game is large and
complex and allows for hours of playing. If you like games like Hack
and Moria then you will probably love playing this game.
GPD087
Assassins 6
A nice collection of four games: Downhill Challenge - downhill ski
game, PacMan87 - early version of Pacman, MetaGalactic Llamas - strange
Llama shooting game, Welltrix - variation along the Tetris theme.
Although most of the games don't have stunning graphics they are all
highly addictive.
GPD088
Assassins 2
Six top quality games all squeezed onto one disc! Yes it's true! Girl
Action - version of Galaxians, Missile Command - nice version of the
classic, Maze Game - guide yourself through a 3D maze, Invaders - need I
say anything?, Bally2 - sequel to the screen painting game and Think
Ahead - a logic tile game. Great presentation throughout, lots of fun.
GPD089
Assassins 1
Five more games brought to you by Assassins. Tanx - aim your missile
and destroy the opponents tank, Rollerpede - very nice version of the
classic Centepede, Amigoids - good version of Asteroids, Cave Runner -
very fast Rockford type game and Avatris - three people can play Tetris
at once with this game!
GPD090
Assassins 5
There are three Shoot Em Up Construction Kit games on this disc so all
the gameplay is basically the same. The games are Go Looly - a cute
Shoot-Em-Up, Retaliator - War plane Shoot-Em-Up and Raid - a helicopter
blast. The graphics, however, on all the games are very good.
GPD091
Assassins 7
Another four top quality PD games for you to play. Destination Moonbase
- moon landing game (difficult), Trix - colour in parts of the screen to
advance to the next level, Nightworks - a Fruit Machine simulator, Claus
Runner - a veriation along the Frogger theme.
GPD092
Assassins 8
Yet more PD games for you to play and enjoy. Air Ace 2 - a Shoot Em Up
Construction Kit game with nice graphics, H-Ball - another Breakout
clone (when will it end?), Number Fumbler - re-arrange the numbers in
the square into the correct order and Snake Pit - a centipede type game,
eat the mushrooms to get longer.
GPD096
Lights Out
This game is similar to 'Master of the town'. You have to smash street
lights and windows to progress through the game.
GPD098
Crossword
This program generates crosswords automatically or you can create your
own via the menu. There is also an option to print out puzzles, you can
also save puzzle if one is too hard to complete in one session. There
is also a dictionary on disk.
GPD101
Assassins 11
This disk contains 5 very good P.D. games. They are Dad,Connex, Towers
of Hanoi, Reversii and Trippin. Dad is a tile sliding game where you
have to move one large tile from one end of the grid to the other.
Connex is a four in a row type game. Towers is a logic game where you
move disks from the first to the last peg without putting a large disk
on top of a smaller one. Reversii is a traditional Othello type game.
Trippin is a pipe line type game where you connect electronic switches.
GPD102
Assassins 12
There are four games for you to play. They are Car, Llamatron, Power
pong and Xfi. Car is a car racing game. Llamatron is the now famous
'Jeff Minter' classic blast'em game. Power Pong is a fast ping pong
game. Xfi is a tron clone where you control a line which you guide to a
target before your opponent reaches it.
GPD103
Assassins 13
This disk contains six more P.D. games. They are Ball, Asteroids,
Twintris, Blockout, Squamble and Amigatration. Ball is a breakout type
game. Asteroids is a version of the classic asteroids game. Twintris
is a 2 player tetris type game. Blockout is a sideways breakout type
game. Squamble is a plane arcade game. Amigatration is a pairs type
game with several levels of complexity.
GPD104
Assassins 14
There are two games on this disk. They are China challenge II and Amiga
columns. China challenge is a chinese puzzle game, good graphics.
Amiga columns is another tetris clone but this time you have to match
blocks of a pattern inside each block.
GPD105
Wastelands
This game was written withthe '3D con kit'. It is a graphic adventure
where the aim is to disarm the warhead before the computer launches the
missile. Looks like a very good game.
GPD119
Tetren
Andy Whiteley
This is the pretiest Tetris clone I've seen. It's perfectly suited for
beginners and kids as it's not as fast as some other versions - well the
first three levels anyhow! The display shows a 3-towered castle, the
game drops shapes in the two gaps between these towers. In the single
player game, the second space gives game statistics, ie how many of each
shape has been given. The central tower shows the game score and lines
completed. At the top of this tower there are two tiny doors, one for
each player. A lttle man is shown here and if you pause the game he
leans against the doorpost and tosses a coin to amuse himself until play
restarts! A very nice touch. This game is written with Amos and
compiled. It is in this section as there was no room for source code on
the disk. Recommended.
GPD120
Aliens
Aliens
This is a shareware version of the ever popular Invaders game. The
graphics are very nicely done and very colourful. This version would be
nice to add to a child's collection of classic games as it is possible
for even a novice like me to get a decent way into the game before
dying! This game was written with AMOS.
GPD126
Operation Lemming V1.32
Chris Foote
This is a charity disk, all profits are sent to the RNIB. Blast the
little creatures off the screen just for fun!
GPD127
Solidquad
J. R. Evans
This shareware game is a fast car race with a choice of courses. It's
fast and furious and has been tested by our own computer test driver who
thinks it's great. The display is 3-D and you feel as if your rocketing
through the fire and water as you try to complete the course.
GPD128
Which Way Out
Mike Wellman
This game is for ONE MEG CHIP RAM OR MORE!!!!! It is a game written
using Aaron Fothergill's TOME and compiled. You have to travel around
on a scooter to complete the quest. The source-only version is
available in the APDL for those of you who own TOME.
GPD131
Quadrix
G. Sparks
This game comes from Australia and was written using Amos and machine
code. It's a great game with Egyptian-style graphics, it's a sort of
4-way block-matching game where you have a pattern of tiles that you
have to eliminate by matching each one with the tile that appears on any
one of the four sides of the grid. The tiles are matched by pressing
Fire when the correct tiles are in line. This description doesn't do
justice to the game which is well recommended. Shareware.
GPD132
Zalycon
Fanatix
NEEDS GPD133 as well. Fanatix have sent us their FIRST GAME. This is
a departure from the very popular demos which have been on the library
for over a year. It has been put into this section as it doesn't
contain the source code, but it was written with AMOS. This is a space
game which is very professionally produced. There is an excellent intro
which tells you the story before you are taken to the options. Here you
have the choice of 3 levels of play, the harder the option, the better
the reward on completing the game! It's a space game where you have a
different task to complete in each level before getting to your goal.
In level 1 you have to dodge the asteroids... wow, is it fast and
furious! I've not managed to get past this yet, but I'm sure the rest
is just as action packed. Well worth the price of two disks!
GPD135
Amos Games Disk 1
Andy Platts
This is a games disk which contains six games, many of which will be
familiar to you. They include Glassback (a platform game) Snake Byte,
Minefield, Lightcycles & Life Expectancy. This is a shareware
production, well worth the registration fee.
GPD139
Battle Beyond Infinity
Mark Potter
Mark has contributed much to the APDL. This is one of his latest games,
and is a space/strategy program. It can be played by 1-3 players who
must buy ships, position them and the choose which weapon to use to try
and blast his opponents away. The interesting feature here is that the
order of play is created randomly, so that player 1 does not have any
advantage over player 3 when the firing stage is reached. A good game
that must have taken a lot of planning. The author is willing to
customise the game to your requirements for a registration fee, details
are on the disk.
GPD140
Tron2
David Hilditch
This is an Amos version of the Lightcycles/tron games that were popular
a while back. This one caters for up to four players. Each 'race' has
four runs, after each of these you are taken to a shop where you can
spend your winnings on extra features like bombs, invisible trails etc.
There are five levels and after each race you are shown two score
tables, one shows how the bikers fared in that race, the second is the
overall championship table. Nice presentation of an old game.
GPD151
Monstrattak V2
Raphael Borelli
This is a game, written with Amos, from France. Raphael kindly
translated the instructions in English for us. It is a sideways
scroller shoot'em up. Great graphics add to this excellently presented
game. It has 5 levels and an end of game animation. There are plenty
of control options - jumping to any level - the graphics are different
per level - fill up your energy meter - use shield etc. This is a great
addition to the library, the code is not provided as Raphael wishes to
do more to the game.
GPD159
Superleague '93
Gary Pollock
Here we have a football management game where you can be the manager of
Falkirk or Man United. Buy and sell your players, pick your team and
sit back and read the commentary as the match gets under way. Make your
team the champs with this well presented game. (Compiled Amos)
GPD160
Quiz Time
Gary Pollock
This is a collection of Quiz games done in the style of Pub Trivia
machines. The subjects are varied and the games play really well. This
is a very playable disk which is a good addition to any games
collection. (Compiled Amos)
GPD162
Spaced Out
Sudden Impact
This is a sideways scrolling shoot'em up and is S.I.'s first game. It
is very playable. Shoot the aliens down to get onto the next level.
(Compiled Amos)
GPD163
Blitz
Paul Watson
This is a bomber type game with really souped up ideas. You are allowed
to choose your weapons and you will earn better weapons as you progress.
The graphics are lovely and the gameplay excellent. (Compiled Amos)
GPD167
Games Disk
Various
This disk contains 3 games - Arena, Card Sharp and Robot Sumo. Arena is
a space shoot'em up, Card Sharp is a card playing program and Robot Sumo
is a sumo wrestling game where robots battle to get theur opponent out
of the ring.
GPD168
Spaced Out 2
Sudden Impact
This is a playable demo of a forthcomming release from SI. It's got
great promise and is very useable as it is. It looks nothing like
Spaced Out 1, although the gameplay is the same ie sideways scrolling
shoot'em up, but it looks so much better as it will be set in different
scenarios in different levels.
GPD175
Roach Motel!
Playfield!
This game was sent to us from Playfield! which is an Amos newsletter in
Florida, USA. It was written for the magazine and this is an enhanced
version which spots PAL or NTSC and adjusts the screen depth
accordingly. The idea is to make the man walk around the platform
screens killing the bugs and collecting spray cans. There are various
other features like acid rain which kills you, and a magic toupe which
protects the wearer from some of the nasties! Good stuff, I hope to
form a link with this group to bring some American programs to you.
GPD183
Assorted Games
Various
Derby Day by Leslie Wigmore. This is a horse racing game where you
choose your horse, place your bet and watch the horses run. You start
with 10 pounds, if you are lucky, you end up rich, if not, it's best to
go home and try your luck another day. Drawmore by Cybornetics. Did
you ever play the kids' party game where 1 person draws the head then
folds the paper over, the next draws the body, the next the legs, then
you open up the paper to see the result? Well this is the electronic
version and it is good fun. There1s a mini art package to aid drawing,
and you can even print out the result. It's not exactly shareware as
Rob asks only for PD disks as payment, Well worth it! KI by S. Teague
this is a midi program which allows you to store the instruments from
your keyboard.
GPD184
Lateral Quizzes 1 & 2
Dr John Foley
These 2 quizzes are compiled, parts 3,4 & 5 are in the APDsection (APD
475) If you liked Catchphrase on TV, then you will like these. Each
quiz can take about 30 minutes to complete, but you can choose to start
at a point 1/2 way through if you wish. Our kids love these disks, some
questions will beat an adult's warped sense of humour, but on the whole,
even a 10 year old can get a lot of fun solving the puzzles.
GPD185
George's Quest For A Nose
Greg Malcolm
Shareware - only 2.50p for the map editor, which is well worth
registering for! The story behind this platform game is weird to say
the least, but it boils down tothe fact that there are people whose
noses have been turned into trumpets, due to being forced to watch too
much Coronation Street. George has escaped and has to find his way to
the only nose replaceent centre which is in Birmingham. It really is a
great game, I enjoyed it, and managed to get past the first level.
Joystick controlled. Well worth adding tando your game collection.
This is a good and fair shareware disk, so please support the
programmer!
GPD186
Gobblers
Ian Williams
Another value Shareware game a mere 2.50p for the full version! It's a
puzzle type game where you have a grid with bones, children and other
things scattered on it. The Gobblers are hungry beasts who gobble
anything they walk over, so your job is to protect the children and
guide the Gobblers to the bones. The Gobblers can only move in straight
lines and so you can force them to move towards the bones by taking away
squares. It's a bit difficult to explain, but believe me, it's a great
game. This version has 8 levels and if you enjoy it, then it is well
worth 2.50p for the ful version.
GPD187
Heavy Battle Tank
Mark Potter
Another good game from Mark. This time we have a tank battle game where
you have to blast your enemy's position.
GPD188
Warship
Wayne Morris
A very nicely presented game where you are a warship whose mission is to
clear the area of submarines. At the same time the enemy is bombarding
you with an air attack. Quite addictive and pleasant to play. The
number of Subs to bomb increases with each level.

If anyone has played 'Minesweeper' on the PC (Windows 3.1) then you will
know how addictive this game can be! This is a long overdue Amiga
version which plays really well and is just as addictive. Well
recommended, well presented version of the original game.
GPD210
Games & Demos
Various
The Games on this disk are:- Pyromania & Mean Genie by Frank Dudley,
Light Bikes by Aaron McCormick. The Demos, All by Derek Piper are
Colour Rave Demo, Funline Demo and Hardline Demo. In Pyromania, you
have to fly around lighting candles as they move around the screen. In
Mean Genie, you are on a magic carpet and have to bomb ghosts whilst

emulate.
GPD211
Lateral Quizes 6-10
Dr John Foley
This disk contains the compiled versions of John the Doc's latest
quizes. These will keep you well amused on a rainy day! Suitable for
all ages!
GPD212
Numtris Demo
This is an educational version of the now classic Tetris. As you might
have guessed, the game involves numbers. There are three difficulty
levels, level 1 isn't too bad, but Level 3 will tax everyone who hasn't
got a calculator for a brain! In this game you have to build up columns
of bricks each of which has a number to make up the target number at the
bottom of the screen. The hard part is remembering the existing totals
for each column so that you can out the next brick in the best place -
if you exceed the target number, then that colomn is 'dead' until a
'zap' brick comes along which will allow you to wipe out the whole
column. Getting the exact target number will give you a new number to
create. 500 and 1200 compatible- there are two speeds set and basically
whichever Amiga you choose will alter the speed. Shareware registration
will get you the full version, this one trips out before a level is
complete.
GPD217

John Scott
This is a dungeon game where the aim is to free the princess from the
nasties who live underground. Easy to control with plenty of fighting
and treasures to find before you find the heroine. There is another

offensive! See the docs for info!
GPD221

This game is a very colourful platform game where you choose your level
from a rotating menu.
GPD240
GPD241
Necessary Roughness
This is a two disk American football management game written in Amos.
It looks very impressive, but as I don't have a clue about the game, I
find it hard to describe!
GPD242
The Dragon Compilation
Michael Wilson
14 year old Michael has sent us in his first shareware game compilation
disk. It contains 3 games, Dragon Sim, which is a flight sim view
dogfight game where you, the `pilot' are seated on the back of a dragon
instead of inside a plane. Sewer is described as a mindless stress
reliever where you have to use your mouse by shooting the alien bugs as
they come along the sewerpipe. It might relieve your stress, but your
mouse will need a rest at a health farm to recover! Dragon 2 is an
isometric two player dogfight type game. Good fun for two players,
difficult for one!
Also on the disk are a couple of demos and vista pics.

between warring robots. It is a complex game and features lots of
possibilities for different settings. If you like role playing games
then I am sure you will enjoy playing this game.
GPD020
Rain
This disc contains Blizzard and some small pieces of music. Blizzard is
a very fast horizontal shoot-em-up not too different from Uridium (that
brings back memories). The music on the disc is a collection of small
pieces but are very good never the less. There are 9 in all. Plus
users please note:- Type exec start from Cli.
GPD021
Wraithed 1

RETALIATOR - a Shoot Em Up Construction Kit game (blast everything) nice
graphics, SORRY! - computer version of the board game. Plus users

This is a very complicated role playing game that is extremely well
presented but takes ages to complete. You start off by building your
character then wander around a village buying things and then make your
way into the caverns. Very good game.
GPD031
Golden Fleece
Jim Macbrayne
This is a fantastic text only adventure. Everything has had so much
detail put into it including the parser which is very good. If you have
ever played one of Jim's adventures you will know that there is no need
for graphics as everything is described so well and in so much detail.
If you are an adventure buff then this is for you. Plus users please
note:- Use from workbench, will work with perseverance.

are lots and lots of levels to keep you amused for ages. Game fan?
This is a must!
GPD036
Colossus
This disc contains the Colossus adventure and a very complex adventure
writer that is in no way suited to people not suited to the Amiga or
adventures. It is not very easy to use. The disc also includes a text
adventure called World.
GPD037
Megaball
Very good BreakOut game with all the modern tweaks such as expandable
bat, lasers, slow up etc. as well as some pitfalls such as compress bat
or explode! The game is very well presented with good music and
graphics. I know many versions of BreakOut have been programmed but
this one stands out from the rest.
GPD039
Chinese Checkers
This is a brilliant computerised version of the old Chinese Checkers
board game. Basically the board is a six pointed star and you have to
move your checkers over to the opposite side of the board first. Very
enjoyable game to either play against the computer or against 5 other
people.
GPD040
Board Games
There are three popular board games that have been converted to the
Amiga. The games are Klondike, Cleudo and Monopoly. All the games are
very good copies of their board game counterparts. Plus users please
note:- Cludeo works from the Cli others need Amiga basic.
GPD041
Necronom Demo
Linel
The disc contains a rolling demo of the forthcoming game by Linel. The
demo features brilliant sound and graphics showing how good the
scrolling shoot em up will be and it does look impressive. Try before
you buy!
GPD042
Starfleet
StarFleet is a simple game written with the Shoot Em Up Construction
Kit. It is basically a simple blast featuring some quite good graphics
but the game is not technically amazing!
GPD043
Mayhem
Very professionally presented disc featuring Mayhem. Mayhem is a flip
screen game in which you must guide your ship safely through caverns,
deactivating doors on your way etc. The graphics and sound are very
good. Also on the disc is a vector demo and instructions on playing the

Five great games on this disc. Breaker - another Breakout clone but
this time with a nice level editor, Welltrix - this is a variation on
the popular game Tetris but this time in 3D, China Challenge - remove
all the tiles by matching pairs, Mechanoid - this is a spoof version of

GPD045
Games
This disc contains three Shoot Em Up Construction Kit games. WolfBane -
space shoot-em-up, 109 - World War II shoot-em-up, Death - another space
shoot-em-up. It must be said that the quality of these games is not
very good as SEUCK was not a very good package in the first place!
GPD046
Games
Five classic games have been converted to the Amiga to make up this
disc. The games are Cleudo, Othello, Klondike, Cribbage and Canfield.
Quite a good collection of games.
GPD047
Wizzy's Quest
Whizzy's quest is a very proffessional platform game featuring nice
graphics, animation and sound. The game is very nice to play and is
full of humour. The disc is worth it for this game alone but there is
also a graphical adventure called Castle Of Doom on the disc which isn't
bad.
GPD048
Paranoid
There are two games on this disc. Metagalactic Llamas, a conversion of
a Jeff Minter game, is a strange game where you have to shoot spiders
coming down from the top of the screen with your Llama! Paranoid is yet
another Breakout game (when will it all end!) with a level editor. This
is extremely fast.
GPD050
Hack
This is a very old role playing game and the graphics aren't up to much
but if you are a fan of role playing games then you will love it as it
is very in-depth. I have been playing it for ages and there are lots of
places to explore. Even though this is old it is still very enjoyable.
GPD051
Games
There are nine (yes 9) games crammed onto this disc. The games are
Number Fumbler, LadyBug, Bug, Paccy, Galaxians, Shootout, Tetris
Metallica, Pharaohs Curse and Cosmoroids. Most of the games are very

games disc.

Games
Three well presented old classic games on one disc all selectable from a
novel menu. The games are: REBOUND - a BreakOut game (how original)
with a level editor (played horizonally instead of vertically which
makes a change, INVADERS - a nice game in the style of defender on the
old Atari console and GRIDRUNNER - another nice version of a classic
game. Very fast. Good games disc.
GPD057
Insiders Club
This is a Stockmarket game in which you have to make money and control
companies. If money allows you can also visit the Insiders Club to gain

and Queens and are very well presented and easy to play. There is also
a game called push on this disc which is not too unlike Pukadu.
GPD068
Block It!
A weird game this one. You control a little character and you have to
shoot different type of blocks at a square made up of these blocks,
getting rid of the same block type! Sounds simple eh? Well it is but
the game is extremely playable and very addictive. Nice presentation
also!

cards in this Amiga version of Concentration, Conquest - war simulator
similar to Risk, CheatSheet - lots and lots of game cheats, SolitareX -
card game of Solitare, Memmon - shows memory available. Nice collection
of programs.
GPD083
Larn 12.06
This is another old role playing game played and looking much the same
as Hack. The graphics aren't too brilliant but the game is large and
complex and allows for hours of playing. If you like games like Hack
and Moria then you will probably love playing this game.
GPD087
Assassins 6
A nice collection of four games: Downhill Challenge - downhill ski
game, PacMan87 - early version of Pacman, MetaGalactic Llamas - strange

GPD091

This game was written withthe '3D con kit'. It is a graphic adventure
where the aim is to disarm the warhead before the computer launches the
missile. Looks like a very good game.
GPD119
Tetren
Andy Whiteley
This is the pretiest Tetris clone I've seen. It's perfectly suited for
beginners and kids as it's not as fast as some other versions - well the
first three levels anyhow! The display shows a 3-towered castle, the
game drops shapes in the two gaps between these towers. In the single
player game, the second space gives game statistics, ie how many of each
shape has been given. The central tower shows the game score and lines
completed. At the top of this tower there are two tiny doors, one for
each player. A lttle man is shown here and if you pause the game he
leans against the doorpost and tosses a coin to amuse himself until play
restarts! A very nice touch. This game is written with Amos and
compiled. It is in this section as there was no room for source code on
the disk. Recommended.
GPD120
Aliens
Aliens
This is a shareware version of the ever popular Invaders game. The
graphics are very nicely done and very colourful. This version would be
nice to add to a child's collection of classic games as it is possible
for even a novice like me to get a decent way into the game before
dying! This game was written with AMOS.
GPD126
Operation Lemming V1.32
Chris Foote
This is a charity disk, all profits are sent to the RNIB. Blast the
little creatures off the screen just for fun!
GPD127
Solidquad
J. R. Evans
This shareware game is a fast car race with a choice of courses. It's
fast and furious and has been tested by our own computer test driver who
thinks it's great. The display is 3-D and you feel as if your rocketing
through the fire and water as you try to complete the course.
GPD128
Which Way Out
Mike Wellman
This game is for ONE MEG CHIP RAM OR MORE!!!!! It is a game written
using Aaron Fothergill's TOME and compiled. You have to travel around
on a scooter to complete the quest. The source-only version is
available in the APDL for those of you who own TOME.
GPD131
Quadrix
G. Sparks
This game comes from Australia and was written using Amos and machine
code. It's a great game with Egyptian-style graphics, it's a sort of
4-way block-matching game where you have a pattern of tiles that you
have to eliminate by matching each one with the tile that appears on any
one of the four sides of the grid. The tiles are matched by pressing
Fire when the correct tiles are in line. This description doesn't do
justice to the game which is well recommended. Shareware.
GPD132
Zalycon
Fanatix
NEEDS GPD133 as well. Fanatix have sent us their FIRST GAME. This is
a departure from the very popular demos which have been on the library
for over a year. It has been put into this section as it doesn't
contain the source code, but it was written with AMOS. This is a space
game which is very professionally produced. There is an excellent intro
which tells you the story before you are taken to the options. Here you
have the choice of 3 levels of play, the harder the option, the better
the reward on completing the game! It's a space game where you have a
different task to complete in each level before getting to your goal.
In level 1 you have to dodge the asteroids... wow, is it fast and
furious! I've not managed to get past this yet, but I'm sure the rest
is just as action packed. Well worth the price of two disks!
GPD135
Amos Games Disk 1
Andy Platts
This is a games disk which contains six games, many of which will be
familiar to you. They include Glassback (a platform game) Snake Byte,
Minefield, Lightcycles & Life Expectancy. This is a shareware
production, well worth the registration fee.
GPD139
Battle Beyond Infinity
Mark Potter
Mark has contributed much to the APDL. This is one of his latest games,
and is a space/strategy program. It can be played by 1-3 players who
must buy ships, position them and the choose which weapon to use to try
and blast his opponents away. The interesting feature here is that the
order of play is created randomly, so that player 1 does not have any
advantage over player 3 when the firing stage is reached. A good game
that must have taken a lot of planning. The author is willing to
customise the game to your requirements for a registration fee, details
are on the disk.
GPD140
Tron2
David Hilditch
This is an Amos version of the Lightcycles/tron games that were popular
a while back. This one caters for up to four players. Each 'race' has
four runs, after each of these you are taken to a shop where you can
spend your winnings on extra features like bombs, invisible trails etc.
There are five levels and after each race you are shown two score
tables, one shows how the bikers fared in that race, the second is the
overall championship table. Nice presentation of an old game.
GPD151
Monstrattak V2
Raphael Borelli
This is a game, written with Amos, from France. Raphael kindly
translated the instructions in English for us. It is a sideways
scroller shoot'em up. Great graphics add to this excellently presented
game. It has 5 levels and an end of game animation. There are plenty
of control options - jumping to any level - the graphics are different
per level - fill up your energy meter - use shield etc. This is a great
addition to the library, the code is not provided as Raphael wishes to
do more to the game.
GPD159

The graphics are lovely and the gameplay excellent. (Compiled Amos)

Spaced Out 2
Sudden Impact
This is a playable demo of a forthcomming release from SI. It's got
great promise and is very useable as it is. It looks nothing like
Spaced Out 1, although the gameplay is the same ie sideways scrolling
shoot'em up, but it looks so much better as it will be set in different
scenarios in different levels.
GPD175
Roach Motel!
Playfield!
This game was sent to us from Playfield! which is an Amos newsletter in
Florida, USA. It was written for the magazine and this is an enhanced
version which spots PAL or NTSC and adjusts the screen depth
accordingly. The idea is to make the man walk around the platform
screens killing the bugs and collecting spray cans. There are various
other features like acid rain which kills you, and a magic toupe which
protects the wearer from some of the nasties! Good stuff, I hope to
form a link with this group to bring some American programs to you.

Derby Day by Leslie Wigmore. This is a horse racing game where you
choose your horse, place your bet and watch the horses run. You start
with 10 pounds, if you are lucky, you end up rich, if not, it's best to
go home and try your luck another day. Drawmore by Cybornetics. Did
you ever play the kids' party game where 1 person draws the head then
folds the paper over, the next draws the body, the next the legs, then
you open up the paper to see the result? Well this is the electronic
version and it is good fun. There1s a mini art package to aid drawing,
and you can even print out the result. It's not exactly shareware as
Rob asks only for PD disks as payment, Well worth it! KI by S. Teague
this is a midi program which allows you to store the instruments from
your keyboard.

Lateral Quizzes 1 & 2
Dr John Foley
These 2 quizzes are compiled, parts 3,4 & 5 are in the APDsection (APD
475) If you liked Catchphrase on TV, then you will like these. Each
quiz can take about 30 minutes to complete, but you can choose to start
at a point 1/2 way through if you wish. Our kids love these disks, some
questions will beat an adult's warped sense of humour, but on the whole,
even a 10 year old can get a lot of fun solving the puzzles.
GPD185
George's Quest For A Nose
Greg Malcolm
Shareware - only 2.50p for the map editor, which is well worth
registering for! The story behind this platform game is weird to say
the least, but it boils down tothe fact that there are people whose
noses have been turned into trumpets, due to being forced to watch too
much Coronation Street. George has escaped and has to find his way to
the only nose replaceent centre which is in Birmingham. It really is a
great game, I enjoyed it, and managed to get past the first level.
Joystick controlled. Well worth adding tando your game collection.
This is a good and fair shareware disk, so please support the
programmer!
GPD186
Gobblers
Ian Williams
Another value Shareware game a mere 2.50p for the full version! It's a
puzzle type game where you have a grid with bones, children and other
things scattered on it. The Gobblers are hungry beasts who gobble
anything they walk over, so your job is to protect the children and
guide the Gobblers to the bones. The Gobblers can only move in straight
lines and so you can force them to move towards the bones by taking away
squares. It's a bit difficult to explain, but believe me, it's a great
game. This version has 8 levels and if you enjoy it, then it is well
worth 2.50p for the ful version.
GPD187
Heavy Battle Tank
Mark Potter
Another good game from Mark. This time we have a tank battle game where
you have to blast your enemy's position.
GPD188
Warship
Wayne Morris
A very nicely presented game where you are a warship whose mission is to
clear the area of submarines. At the same time the enemy is bombarding
you with an air attack. Quite addictive and pleasant to play. The
number of Subs to bomb increases with each level.

Minefield
Allen Webb
If anyone has played 'Minesweeper' on the PC (Windows 3.1) then you will
know how addictive this game can be! This is a long overdue Amiga
version which plays really well and is just as addictive. Well
recommended, well presented version of the original game.

have to fly around lighting candles as they move around the screen. In
Mean Genie, you are on a magic carpet and have to bomb ghosts whilst

emulate.

Lateral Quizes 6-10
Dr John Foley
This disk contains the compiled versions of John the Doc's latest
quizes. These will keep you well amused on a rainy day! Suitable for
all ages!
GPD212
Numtris Demo
This is an educational version of the now classic Tetris. As you might
have guessed, the game involves numbers. There are three difficulty
levels, level 1 isn't too bad, but Level 3 will tax everyone who hasn't
got a calculator for a brain! In this game you have to build up columns
of bricks each of which has a number to make up the target number at the
bottom of the screen. The hard part is remembering the existing totals
for each column so that you can out the next brick in the best place -
if you exceed the target number, then that colomn is 'dead' until a
'zap' brick comes along which will allow you to wipe out the whole
column. Getting the exact target number will give you a new number to
create. 500 and 1200 compatible- there are two speeds set and basically
whichever Amiga you choose will alter the speed. Shareware registration
will get you the full version, this one trips out before a level is
complete.
GPD217
Compiled Amos Games
Various
This disk contains programs which were sent in, or requested to be
distributed as compiled versions. Space invasion is from Kev Gallagher,

different invaders game where the aliens move horizontally in single
rows while you zap them, this is by David Christian. Ben Addis sent us
in Amigaclock which is an alarm clock proggie - full explanation given.
Fabrizio Bazza gives us the last 2 progs on this disk. Mefistofele is a
card game and Nag is a snake in a maze game where the bad snkes are
hell-bent on eating you a segment at a time!

Doom-PD
John Scott
This is a dungeon game where the aim is to free the princess from the
nasties who live underground. Easy to control with plenty of fighting
and treasures to find before you find the heroine. There is another
version of the game available which I'm told is a bit 'naughty' but not
offensive! See the docs for info!
GPD221
Compiled Amos Games
Various
Quasi, by Paul Young, is a hunchback game where Quasi Modo has to walk
along a wall collecting bonuses and avoiding hazards to ring the bell at
the other side of the screen. In the Target is a game from Italy. It
is a shoot'em up where you have to line up ships, planes etc in your gun
sights and shoot'em. Bonuses are also available in this game set on
three levels of ability. Works rather fast on a 1200. Suicide Mission
is from David Christian. Here you are a helicopter pilot trying to
shoot down the enemy and avoiding getting shot down yourself. The
source for this game is on an Amos progs disk.

GPD242
The Dragon Compilation
Michael Wilson
14 year old Michael has sent us in his first shareware game compilation
disk. It contains 3 games, Dragon Sim, which is a flight sim view
dogfight game where you, the `pilot' are seated on the back of a dragon
instead of inside a plane. Sewer is described as a mindless stress
reliever where you have to use your mouse by shooting the alien bugs as
they come along the sewerpipe. It might relieve your stress, but your
mouse will need a rest at a health farm to recover! Dragon 2 is an
isometric two player dogfight type game. Good fun for two players,
difficult for one!
Also on the disk are a couple of demos and vista pics.
GPD254

done with Amos using the Turbo extension. Well worth looking at if you
