AMOS PD Games with Source Code

  APD002

treasure search

peter hickman

Hunt   for  treasure  in  this  clever  educational  co-ordinates  game.

Excellent  sound  and graphics make this game fun for everyone from 2 to

92!

APD059

super quiz

t.d.harris

A  little  short on documentation but great fun if you do the same as we

did.   Two  teams,  a few drinks and cheat like mad!  The questions were

too hard for Martyn Brown, I reckon he might be a bit too young for some

of  them  'cos  they gave us "over thirties" no problem.  You can always

look at the code for answers anyway if you have AMOS.

APD062

arcadia

ronnie simpson

Remove  2nd  drive with 1/2 meg memory.  This is a personal favourite of

mine.    Very   playable   and   addictive   version   of   the  popular

Arkanoid/Breakout  game.   You even get a level designer so you can edit

this game to your heart's content.  Highly recommended.

APD085

reversi & snakes

Reversi  is  an  absolutely  brilliant version of Othello.  I can't stop

playing it.

APD097

Dynamite dick

adam leech

Quite  a  nice  little game in which you collect the treasure, blast the

monsters  and  find the key for the next level.  Also on the disc by the

same programmer is a slideshow and demo.  Recommended.

APD102

chainsaw death

jaron collis

Very unusual two player game with excellent documentation.  A futuristic

board game which has you actually moving about a maze.

APD103

pick-up-a-puzzle

len tucker

Temporarily withdrawn

This disk has corrupted, and we have lost the source code! Does anyone

have a very early version we could have a copy of? (write to usual

address, all costs repaid!)

Jigsaw  puzzles to solve with three levels of difficulty.  Good graphics

and well presented.

APD104

P-u-a-p Data Disc

Len Tucker

This  is  a data disc containing more jigsaw puzzles.  The disc requires

APD103 - Pick-Up-A-Puzzle. (unavailable at present)

APD105

picture it

m. wellman

Two disc game.  Put the picture back together within a time limit.  Very

hypnotic effects as the pieces float around the screen.  Needs APD106.

APD110

cross fire

roger north

Very  nice game.  Keeps the kids occupied for ages!  Had good reviews in

the glossies.

APD115

balloonacy

delboy dodson

A  variation  on  the  classic "Bomber" game with some good graphics and

amusing  touches.  Had good reviews in the magazines.  Plus users please

note:  Re-Boot after reading the instructions.

APD123

deadline

aaron fothergill

What better way to show off the capabilities of AMOS TOME than to create

a playable game with it!  If you're thinking of buying AMOS TOME, or you

have  already  got  a copy, then this disc is a must.  If you don't have

AMOS then the disc is worth having for the game itself.

APD130

the wooden ball

patrik holstrom

This  game is Shareware.  It is a futuristic ball game where you have to

score  goals  against  an  opponent.  You can set the speed at which the

game  is played.  Very good graphics.  Well worth a look.  The shareware

fee for this game is disks not money.

APD135

simon says & maths

graham woodcock

Nice version of SIMON SAYS that is very well presented.  SAPCE MATHS has

five  difficulty  levels  depending on the age of the player.  The first

level caters for children under five and fifth level for over 16's.

APD136

maths calculator 1.1

simon jewell

Also  on  this  disc is VENDREDI, a calendar program by Frederic Simian.

MATHS  CALCULATOR is a very well documented program.  It covers Area and

Volume,  Addition,  Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Fractions and

Percent.   Future  updates are planned for Trigonometry (I hated that at

school!).   On  loading you are presented with a menu.  You must use the

numbers  on  the  keypad  not  the  keyboard.   There is speech when you

complete  a  set  number  of questions.  Well produced progam that shows

much  promise  for  futher  updates.   VENDREDI  hails  all the way from

France.   It is an icon driven electronic diary.  It includes a calendar

with  diary,  an  address  book and a manager for bank accounts.  As the

program  saves  to  disk you should use a backup.  Nicely presented with

English instructions.

APD137

tile trial

dominic ramsey

Another  quality  game  from the programmer of REVERSI.  This program is

shareware.   Tile  Trial  is a sliding puzzle game.  Each puzzle must be

completed within a time limit.

APD138

languages tutor

k. grigg

Build  up  your Spanish vocabulary with this program.  Three options are

given  -  English  to  Spanish,  Spanish to English and a random option.

Program now covers French and German also.

APD139

master race

k. grigg

A  quiz  game  with a difference for 1 or 2 players.  Set in outer space

the  object  of  the game is to answer the questions correctly.  You can

then  advance  towards  your  opponents planet.  You need to land on its

centre  square  to  win.   You have three ships but lose one for every 5

questions you answer wrong.  When all three are lost you lose the game.

APD141

Amos Games 1

Adam Barker, Creative Software & C.l. Naylar

Four runnable games on one disc.  THE HACKER SIMULATOR by Adam Barker is

a simulation of hacking money and using the share markets to make money.

Full  documentation  is  supplied.   COMPUTERFAX  by  Creative  Software

Applications  is like the pages off a teletext T.V.  Users have to alter

and  make  their  own  pages.   Full  documentation.   ATISHOO by C.  L.

Naylar  is  a game where you have to match tiles or bricks by design and

colour.   Good  graphics.  MATCH_CARDS by C.  L.  Naylar is a one or two

player game based on "Concentration".  Match the cards.

APD142

Pair Crazy

Creative Software Applications

Match  the  cards  to make a pair.  Choice of music and sound effects is

given  at  the start.  It is a two player game with one player using the

cursor  keys  and  player  two defining his/her own keys.  I wouuld have

preferred the cards a little larger.  Neatly put together game.

APD146

fruit machine

steve potts & mark cameron

Two games with a fruity theme.  FRUIT MACHINE by Steve Potts will run on

1/2 meg machines with DF1:  disconnected.  Has full documentation on the

disc.  Contains all the facilities of a fruit machine, i.e.  nudge, hold

and  gamble.   Good  graphics.   FRUIT CRUSH by Mark Cameron is a puzzle

game.   Full  documentation  on  the  disc.  Not an easy game.  Uses the

mouse.

APD147

Amos Games 2

Various Authors

This disc contains a version of MAHJONG by Fred Quadt, GRUBGRABBER II by

Chris Hurst, SKYBLITZ by Tom and Kev and SPINVADERS by Brian Hills.

APD148

demolition mission

sarog

The  source  code  for  this  game  is on APD021.  A good version of the

popular BOMBER game.  Simple enough for children to play.

APD149

gobbit & pontoon

c. brown & p. d. wheatstone

GOBBIT  by  C.   Brown.  Guide your Psycho Ninja Gobbit (frog?) over all

the  squares to change their colour, avoiding bumping into the "baddies"

of  course.   You begin on a pyramid, now I know this changes to another

shape  on  Level  2  but I haven't got any futher!  Not due to a lack of

skill  you  understand, more to lack of time.  (Pause for big laugh - my

lack  of  skill with the joystick is well known!).  Very well presented.

Good graphics and music.  Also on the disc is the old favourite PONTOON.

This  version  is  by  P.   D.   Wheatstone.  Mouse controlled with full

documentation.   This is the sort of gambling I don't mind 'cos it's not

real  money!   Play  against the computer.  You both start with $100 and

have  a  choice of stake from $1 to $9.  All the usual options are there

i.e.  twist stick or buy.

APD153

Missile Command

Daniel Bond

A simple game that will work on 1/2 megabyte machines.

APD160

amos quizmaster

mark venn

This is a shareware program.  Quite a good quiz game.

APD166

Yet  another  disc  of  jigsaw  puzzles  by  Len Tucker for use with his

program Pick-Up-A-Puzzle.  Needs APD103.

APD167

Jigmania Data 1

Len Tucker

This disc is a collection of jigsaw puzzles by Len Tucker.  They are for

APD175

frantix & m.z.p.p.

chris banks

There are two AMOS games on this disk - FRANTIX and MUTANT ZOMBIE PSYCHO

PIGS both by Chris Banks.

APD178

mastermind & pair up

vidar martinsen & mike wellman

MASTERMIND  v2.1 by Vidar Martinsen from Norway.  Use right mouse button

to  access  the  menu  at the top of the screen so that you can view the

instructions  and  type the names of the player(s).  Good version of the

old  classic.   PAIR UP by Mike Wellman with music by Luke Miller.  Nice

maze  game  where you have to collect items and avoid baddies.  Two good

games on one disc.

APD180

Dungeon Delver

Luke Miller

NOW  ON ONE DISK!!!!  You must control Garf using the joystick and guide

him  through  fourteen  levels  of the dungeon in search of the captured

Wizard Meredith.  Full documentation on the disc.

APD182

Pixie Kingdom

Luke Miller

NOW  ON  ONE  DISK!!!!  You have to rescue the pixies.  Lots of fighting

goes on in this game with lots of hazards to overcome during your quest.

APD184

towers of hanoi

delboy dodson

Transfer  rings from one pile to another without breaking the few simple

rules  of the game.  Also on the disc is CAL_MATHS by Shieldsoft to test

you  on  your maths and CALENDAR which is a utility to give you a screen

display of any year with an option of printing.  Very easy to use.

APD189

Make-4 & Golf Score

D.R.Tart & Ross Cleary

MAKE-4 by D.  R.  Tart is a simple version of the old favourite "Connect

4".   GOLF SCORE by Ross Cleary is a program to enable the golfers among

you keep track of your rounds of golf.

APD190

blackbelt

simon walklate

This is an unusual game in which you have to waggle the joystick to gain

enough power to do karate chops on a wall within a time limit.

APD198

bombs from baghdad

stealth software

Bombs  From Baghdad is an unusual game and, unfortunately, quite topical

considering  recent events in the Gulf.  You are given a briefing at the

beginning  of  the  game  in  which  you  are  informed that you have to

intercept  aircraft  which  are bent on destroying you.  This is a novel

game and although I would have personally preferred a less topical theme

it  is,  to  coin  a  phrase,  all  done  "in  the best possible taste".

Prodigal Son by John Filsak is also on this disc and is a text adventure

based  on  the  Bible.   A  knowledge  of the story is recommended.  The

adventue   is  controlled  with  the  mouse  and  uses  multiple  choice

questions.   At  the  top of the screen are the room descriptions and at

the bottom a choice of commands.  Nice, simple adventure.

APD219

Jigmania Data Disc 2

Jim Campey

Needs  LPD013  (Jigmania).  Len Tucker said that he hoped Jigmania users

would  prepare  some data discs for the PD and Jim Campey took him up on

it.   Well  done  Jim.  Puzzles on this disc are Computerview, Bungalow,

Castle and Tank for the adults and Count Duckula, Hotdogs, Robot, Bully,

Frog  and  audience  for  the  kids.  Well worth adding to your Jigmania

collection.

APD220

Jigmania Data Disc 3

Jim Campey

Needs LPD013 (Jigmania).  Another one from Jim Campey.  On this disc are

Dredd,  Thunderbirds, Garfield, Martian, Alien Legion and Bugs Bunny for

kids  and  Office,  Tournament,  Mansion,  Honda and Porsche for adults.

Another good disc for Jigmania users.

APD221

amos bingo

dave brown

Also  on  this disc is CRACK THE CODE by G.  Woodcock.  In order to play

AMOS  BINGO  you  first  need  to  print  out the tickets so access to a

printer  is  a  must.  You can then play BINGO in the old fashioned way.

The  numbers  are called by the computer in a robotic voice (sounds like

most  bingo callers to me) and you can play for a "line" or "house".  So

it's  eyes  down for the first number ....  and hold down the left mouse

button  to  make your call.  For those of you who find the normal game a

little  slow  there  is  a  faster version called MANIAC BINGO and it is

fast!   CRACK  THE CODE is a version of Mastermind with a Hi-Score table

and  full  instructions.   You start by having to guess two colours then

three  and  so on until you have to guess six.  I couldn't get past five

numbers.

APD230

Amos Asteroids

Mike Widdess

Contains  four  versions  of  the  old Asteroids game.  On version 1 all

graphics  are  computed  rather  than drawn by an artist.  Disc contains

full  documentation.   The  game  is  played  with  a  joystick  and the

objective  is  to  destroy  as  many  levels of rocks as possible and to

destroy  the  alien ship when it appears.  Treat yourself to a trip down

memory lane or show the kids what games used to be like.

APD231

amok

chris hunt

This  game  is shareware so please adhere to the programmer's request if

you  enjoy the program.  Your robot is trapped in a strange world whhich

is  unstable.   To  escape  the  robot must fit 150 micro-chips into his

teleporter.   The  chips  appear  randomly  along  with bombs and holes.

There's also a robotic ghost to avoid.  Also on the disc is Disc Manager

which  offers  the  facility to delete files, make a directory, rename a

file, delete directory, list directory, mouse on/off, music on/off.  Mad

which  is  a  flashing colourful screen with music, and spritebankviewer

which is self-explanatory.  All programs by the same programmer.

APD234

Teslar, Snake & Text

David Boucher

Teslar is a variant of Tetris with source code and documentation.  Snake

is  based  on  the  old  centipede type game and also has documentation.

Amos  Text is a text reader used to view the instructions for each game.

Icon  controlled  for  moving around the text and very easy to use, nice

program David.

APD237

Shapes

M. Archer

I  was  very  impressed  with  this  game  and  offered to put it in the

Licenseware  but  the  programmer  wanted  to  try an experiment and has

released it as "discware".  If you like it then you are supposed to send

the programmer a PD disc.  I hope you don't disappoint him as I think he

deserves some reward.  On booting you are given three options, F1:  Play

the  game,  F2:  High scores, F3:  Instructions.  The object of the game

is  to fill in the black area of the board using the shapes shown at the

bottom  of  the screen.  However, you only have a certain amount of each

shape  which is indicated by the value below the shapes.  You can add or

remove  shapes  but  there is a time limit.  If you complete a level you

are  given a password for the next one.  Beware this is a very addictive

game.  Highly recommended for lovers of puzzles.

APD243

Jigmania Disc 4

Len Tucker

Another  disc to use with Jigmania compiled by the original author.  All

puzzles  on  this  disc  are  for  the 99 piece option.  Puzzles include

Butterfly,  Lion,  Spaceman and others.  Nine new puzzles in all.  Needs

LPD013 to run (Jigmania).

APD252

War Simulator

Creative Software Applicati

Unfortunately  this game can not just be loaded and run you will need to

read  the  doc files on how to set it up.  Quite a complicated procedure

unless  you  are familiar with the Amiga.  You will find the docs in the

WARSIM  directory.   Also  on  the  disc is a slideshow advertising this

company's products.

APD254

hobbs games vol i

david hobbs

Docs  for  all the games are supplied.  Games all run from a menu.  Disc

contains CRAPMAN which is a version of PACMAN played using the joystick.

BATTLE  which  is  based  on  noughts and crosses with magic!  ADRIAN in

which  you  play  a  kid named...Adrian!  Your aim is to find the Golden

Chalice which is hidden somewhere in the checkboard desert.  To reach it

you  have  to  avoid many obstacles.  80+ is the final game in which you

play Mr.  Kwong protecting his retirement home with his Ninja Stick from

his  arch  enemy  The Black Zimmer-Frame.  Nice collection of simple fun

games.

APD259

chopper2

robin hall

Please  order  APD260  (disc 2) when ordering this.  A lot of effort has

gone  into  this program.  Initially you are given the option of turning

off  the  music and pilot selection.  You are given a choice of ten men.

You  will  be  given  full details on his character and background.  You

control  a chopper of course in this sideways scrolling game and have to

shoot the enemy.  I got sick of Colonel Grim telling me my attempts were

feeble  and  that  he  was  going to take over the world.  I wasn't good

enough  to stop him but you might be!  Pity the music isn't original but

the game is good fun.

APD268

yoghurt Boy

Yoghurt  Boy  and  Twit  Man  in the Quest for the Pink Banana is a text

adventure  in  which  you  control  movements by clicking on icons.  The

adventure isn't very complicated but quite funny in places.  Also on the

disc  is  a  nice vertical scrolling shoot-em-up with some good graphics

and smooth animation.

APD271

wizard's domain

andy paul

This is a well presented scrolling maze game.  Although the graphics are

small  the  game  is extremely playable.  The idea is to collect all the

tablets  in a maze to proceed to the next level all within a time limit.

This is a good, addictive, game.

APD277

Battle Pong

Thorsten Hansen

Very  well  presented  game  in  the  same  mould  as  Shufflepuck Cafe.

Basically  you  have  a paddle at one end of the table and your opponent

one  at the opposite end.  You then have to stop the ball going off your

end  of  the  table.   The  action  is  very fast and the game is really

addictive.   You  can either play against a second player or against the

computer.

APD292

war of four demo

This  is  a  demo version of a game that can be purcased from the author

for  a  sum  of  £3.50.   The  game is basically a war game between four

different races, Goblins, Dwarves, Elves and Humans.  The game screen is

split  into  two.  The top half is your current view and the bottom half

is  where all your icon controls are.  The game is very complex and lots

of playing would be needed to win or even complete it.

APD293

grand prix sim

The  aim  of  this game is to be at the top of the Championship Standing

after 10 Grand Prix races.  You start with a certain amount of money and

must  buy  a  pit crew, an engine for your car and a driver.  Spend your

money  carefully as you only have a limited supply.  Lots of options are

available  in  the game, there isn't much on the graphical front but the

game is absorbing.

APD299

fizzy pop games 1

fizzy pop

There  are  two  games on this disc.  Noughts and Crosses is a very nice

version  of...   well I think you can guess!  Super Brain is also a good

version of a classic, this time Mastermind.  Both games have really nice

bas relief graphics.

APD300

Co-ordination

KILL  DF1:  WITH 1/2mb.  This game is very annoying yet so addictive all

at  the  same  time!   Basically you have to use your paddle to bounce a

ball  out  of  the  exit on screen but once you start to hit the ball it

will not stop and you can then only hit the ball at angles!  Oh and just

to make things easier it musn't hit any of the walls or you lose a life.

To say this game is hard is an understatement.  Very simple idea makes a

really good game.  Recommended.

APD303

Litter Busters

This  is  a  Rockford  or Boulderdash style game.  The idea in this one,

however, is to collect the rubbish bags and go to the next level.  There

are  lots  of levels and if you get bored of them you can always use the

level editor to create some more.

APD313

Mariner's Mate

Daniel Smith

This is a Shareware game.  The idea of the game is to remove pegs from a

star  shaped  board  in  a similar fashion to Solitaire i.e.  by jumping

over  them.   The  game is by no means easy and if you want an even more

taxing version then use the time limit option as well.

APD314

black jack

peter cartwright

Black  Jack  Trainer has lots of options and is a nice implementation of

Black  Jack.   The main options include a help system and the ability to

load,  save and test various strategies.  If you like Black Jack or want

to  try  and  learn  how  to play it then get this disc.  The program is

COMPILED.

APD315

silver bars...

andreas andreou

Silver  Bars  And The Enemy.  Do you remember Hunchback on the Spectrum,

64  etc.  This is a brilliant version of that classic and very addictive

game.   Also  on  the disc is a demo of Locks, Keys And Enemies a future

addition  to  Deja-Vu  Proffesional  Software  collection,  which  is an

adanced version of the game on this disc.

APD318

boinng!

josh addison

Very  nice  game  in  which  you play a cute yellow, fluffy thing called

Herbert and you must save your village from destruction.  There are many

levels  to  complete  and  I must say they are very hard!  Basically you

have  to  run and jump over monsters and obstacles on your way.  Hard bt

addictive.  Recommended.

APD325

Hangman V2.0

Simon Walklate

The  two  programs  on  this  disc, Hangman and Hangman Editor, are both

Shareware.   Basically  this  is a spruced up version of hangman with an

editor  to  create  lists  of  words  to use in the program which can be

played by one or two people.  Full instructions are also included on the

disc.

APD326

hyperball

This  is  the  latest  version of WoodenBall.  The game involves scoring

goals  in  the  opposing  players  net.  You can play a game against the

computer  or  against  another  player.  There are also many options for

game  speed etc.  The gameplay is difficult to get used too but once you

have  the  hang of it it is quite an addictive game.  Some nice routines

used.

APD329

fruit machine

gary hunt

Very  well  presented  Fruit  Machine  game  with a large scrolling play

screen.   All  the usual options are included as well as some nice added

differences!   This  is  a  great fruit machine game that is recommended

fully!

APD332

Tetrix

T-2000 Software.

This  is  a  very  good  AMOS  version of the popular Tetris game.  Nice

display,  with  redefinable keys if you're not comfortable with the ones

set.

APD333

American Football

Composer Software

In  this game you are the manager of an American football team.  This is

the  radio  version,  ie it is displayed as if it is heard over a radio,

the  TV  version  will  follow  shortly  if  you send off your shareware

registration fee.  Looks good if you like American Football.

APD334

Snake in the grass

Peter Harris

This  is  a  centipede  type  game  where  you  have to gather the white

mushrooms  and  avoid  the  red  toadstools.   You mustn't bump into the

border  or  other  parts of yourself either!  Good graphics in this fast

action game.

APD340

Karate Worm

Mark Potter.

This  is a game that almost defies description.  Yes, it is possible for

a  worm  to do karate, but to see just how it's done, you'll have to buy

the  game!   It's  a  platform  game controlled with the joystick.  Plus

users please note:- Works from Cli just type 'ramos'.

APD342

Ludicrous

John O'Reilly.

Here  is  a program that you can use to create silly sentences, the kids

had  great  fun  with  it.   You  input names and situations and let the

computer  do  the rest, the results can be Ludicrous!  There is a speech

option,  which  slows  it down and also a silly mode which produces even

dafter sentences.

APD343

Save The Trees

Mark Potter.

A  game which has a message in its title.  We need trees!  Here you must

stop  the little men with axes from chopping down the trees.  You are in

a  bulldozer  and stop them by driving over them or shooting them.  It's

not  as  easy  as  it  first  appears as the axemen move faster than the

bulldozer.  Nice idea.

APD344

Fwuff

Dynatrax Software.

Here  is  a  simple,  but  very  addictive game.  It is based vaguely on

solitaire  where you eliminate pieces from the board by making one piece

jump over another into a free space.  In this game the pieces are fluffy

little  creatures,  the  ones you jump over are `saved and the object of

the  game  is  to  save as many Fwuffs as possible.  Shareware.  Lots of

fun.

APD350

Storyland II

David Alexander

This  is  a  shareware  game  with  a  difference, the author would like

donations  sent  to  the charity he has nominated in his Docs.  It is an

adventure for young children in which they journey to different lands to

help  the  inhabitants get rid of a wicked witch.  Has very good reviews

in the magazines.

APD362

Squat's Revenge

Mark Potter

This  is  a Two player blast'em to death game.  Plug in two joysticks to

play this game.  (no longer shareware!)

APD381

Demon's Edge

Mark Potter

This  game can be played by SIX players, each one of whom has his or her

personal  game  displayed  on the screen.  The aim is for each player to

find  the  exit  and go on to the following level.  This is a novel idea

which Mark says came from an old Electron title.  Worth trying.

APD382

Amos-Hangman

Mike Austin

This  version  of  hangman  has  versions  for children and adults.  The

children's   version   has  a  sequence  of  soldiers  marching  on  the

unfortunate  prisoner,  for  each  wrong guess another soldier brings on

part  of  the  gallows and the prisoner shows signs of great dispair, if

you  guess correctly, he jumps for joy!  I found this idea quite amusing

even  if  rather  macabre,  look  out for the final sequence.  The adult

version  has  different  animation  with various parts of the hanged man

being added for each incorrect answer.

APD383

Couples

G. Lund

This  is a 'Pairs' game where you have to match a card from the top half

of the screen with one from the bottom of the screen.  There is a choice

of  pictures  to  use, these include cars, patterns, smileys, and flags.

You  may  play  against  the  computer  in which case you can choose the

number  of  tries  allowed per game, or there is a 2 player option.  You

can  also  choose  between  18  or  32 pair to be matched.  All in all a

nicely done game.

APD384

Wots-Its-Name

Jim Campey

This  game  is  based  on  the  old 'twenty questions' quiz.  Up to four

players  can  take  part  and  there  are four catagories of questions -

Person,  Place, Thing and Year.  The aim is to get around the game board

by  guessing  words  from clues given.  You choose a clue by clicking on

one  of 20 numbered circles, you are then given a clue to a word or year

from the subject highlighted at the top of the screen.  You then have to

type  in  your guess, there is a timer to beat, but this is stopped when

you  start  typing.  Your score depends on how many clues you have used.

This  is  Jim's  first  full game I hope he will do more as this game is

well worth adding to your collection.

Rattle  Snake  by  Ben Ashley.  This is a helicopter game with plenty of

action.   Space  Chaser by Paul Gaunt.  A novel idea for a pacman clone,

here  you  have  space ships going around the mazes.  Mazeman by Stephen

Eaborn.   A  classic pacman game, very nicely presented.  Source for all

three  games  is  included  for  you to look at.  A value for money disk

which will give hours of fun.

APD386

Demons Domain

Roger North (Sarog)

This  is  the  game  that  has kept the younger members of our household

glued  to  the  Amiga  for  hours  at  a  time!   Roger is the author of

Crossfire, which was also very popular (APD110) and his latest offering

is  just  as  addictive.   In  this game, your character moves through a

maze,  but  instead  of  meeting beasties, you are taken to one of seven

subgames  which you must complete before going further.  These games are

called  at  random,  they are very simply presented, but very effective.

They  range  from  a car race, dodge the arrows, guess the letter before

you  get  squashed  to  a  pulp,  centipede, minefield and a couple more

besides!  Get this one, it will get you hooked!

APD399

Pulsar

Ian Parkinson

This  is  a  two  player game which is played on a split-screen display.

Both  players  are  in  a  maze and the aim is to find your opponent and

eliminate  him  before  he does the same to you!  Of course you can only

see  you  own immediate area so tracking down the enemy isn't that easy.

You  are helped/hindered by transporter squares and one way doors.  Good

Fun.

APD401

Stax

Marc D. Bradshaw

Another  Tetris-type  clone where you have to match the patterned blocks

in groups of three.  Nice looking Shareware game.

APD402

Kinghigh

Graham Lund

This  is  a  card  game  which is joystick controlled.  Here you have to

guess   whether  the  next  card  will  be  higher  or  lower  than  its

predecessor.   Get  enough runs of five cards complete before going onto

the  next stage of the game where you have to get all the guesses wrong!

Completing  this  takes  you  onto  more  sections  of  the  game which,

unfortunately I haven't reached yet!  Very nicely presented game.

APD418

Gory Story

Philip Richmond

At last - an adventure!  This text adventure was written by Philip using

his  CREATIVE  ADVENTURE  TOOLKIT  (which  is  Deja  Vu Licenseware disk

L/033).   The  descriptions are very atmospheric and make you feel as if

you  are  wandering  around  the  forests  on the Welsh/English borders.

Highly recommended!  Updated May 1993

APD419

Bounder

Sarog

This  is  the latest addition from Roger North.  This is a platform game

where  the  aim  is to bound upwards to reach an exit hole at the top of

the  screen.   Not as simple as it sounds!  Between you and the exit are

platforms, gaps appear randomly as the platforms move across the screen.

You have to jump ut through these gaps to reach the top exit.  There are

no  meanies  on  level  one,  so you can get the feel of the game before

progressing  onto the higher levels where you have to avoid these beasts

as well as trying to get to the top of the screen!  Recommended.

APD424

Card Games

David A. Lorner

This is a disk full of card games and puzzles which will keep you amused

for  hours  -  I know, I 'tested' it!  The games are various versions of

Patience - each one has full instructions and a rating of how likely you

are  to complete it.  You won't need as much patience to play these card

games  as  you  would  using  a  deck  of cards as they don't need to be

gathered up, shuffled and dealt out again between games!  The card games

are:-  STRATEGY  WINDMILL FOURTEEN OUT KING ALBERT PATIENCE CASTLE CLOCK

SNAP EIGHT OFF FLOWER GARDEN & SIR TOMMY.  The puzzles are:- SCORELINE -

a logic number puzzle, & TRAY which is a sliding tile game.  David first

sent  his  work into Totally Amos, and we have watched them develop into

this disk full of games.  Well recommended!

APD430

Paragon

Volber

This  disk  contains three programs, the main one being a well presented

puzzle  game.   The  playing  area  is  a  grid and the idea is to place

coloured  stones  onto this to copy the pattern given in a square on the

right  of the screen.  Easy?  Not so, you are not the only player trying

to  complete  patterns,  your oponent, which can be human or computer is

trying  to  do  the same thing as well as blocking your next move.  Good

game!   The  other programs are AbkPlayer, which is a (multi) music tool

and AmBOS V1.18 which is a Cli mask.

APD428

Nautilus

Marc Le Douarain

This  game has been sent to us from France and is the programmer's first

game.   It  is a maze game where you are in control of a submarine which

is  sailing  through  underwater mazes gathering ancient vases.  You are

able  to  shoot a path through the walls to gain access to cut off areas

of  the  maze, but your shots are limited.  Fish guard the treasure, and

colliding  with one will lose a life.  This is a shareware game which is

worth having in your game collection.

APD431

Karate Worm II

Mark Potter

I  still don't know how to describe a worm who uses Karate to defeat his

enemies!  (Remember KW I?) This new arcade chop'em up is better than the

first,  which  was  well  received  when  it appeared.  Here you have to

demonstrate  your  joystick skills to get around collecting treasure, it

isn't as easy as it seems.

APD432

Alliance II

Mark Potter

This  is  another  offering  from  Mark  Potter.   It  is a follow up to

Alliance  which  wqas released a while ago.  It is a strategy game which

plays well.

APD435

Driver

Dave Cherrington

This  is  a  game with a purpose other than shear amusement!  Dave wrote

this  program  to  show  how  the effects of drinking can influence your

judgement.  The program tests the time taken to react to different tests

and analyses the results.  These tests should be done before any alcohol

is  drunk,  and again after a drink or two.  If you manage to persuade a

few  friends to take the tests, and you send the results off to Dave, he

will  build up a database of the effects of drink on (would be) drivers.

A  very  interesting proggie, but I'm not encouraging the under 18's out

there  to  drink  just to do the test, although those over 18 might find

out some interesting things!

APD438

Match With Humpty

Paul Harthen

This  is  a  program  which  will  teach  young  kids  to match words to

pictures.   Humpty  sits on top of his wall watching to see how well you

do!  Nice graphicsin this well presented program.

APD439

The Classic Collection

Horbinder Singh Ghag

This is a collection of three classic games, all provided as source code

only, so you can see how they were done.  My favourite is monopoly which

is  very good and gives the feel of the real board game.  The good point

is  that  you can't cheat or get the money wrong!  Also on the disk is a

version  of  Connect  Four and a jigsaw puzzle game, both well done, but

for me, it's worth buying just for Monopoly!

APD443

Pictures (V2.0)

Graham Lund

This  is  a  very  addictive  puzzle game for two players, or one player

playing  two  games  at the same time, which is quite a challenge!  Each

player  has  two  boxes  on  the  screen.  The top one contains a hidden

picture,  the  lower  one  is  the  play area where you have to click on

squares  to reveal a tick or a cross.  Every tick you reveal gets you an

extra  turn, a cross means that it's your opponents turn.  To add to the

fun, there are bombs which clear your playfield so you will have to have

a  good memory to remember where those ticks were!  Great stuff from the

author of Couples and Kinghigh.  Updated May 1993

APD445

Weedie

Luke Miller

Weedie the miserable wizard, is really unhappy to see flowers growing in

his  garden,  they  are  making  the place far too pretty!  He takes his

nuclear  beans  and  sows them around the garden to destroy the flowers.

It's a novel game idea sort of anti ecological, but great fun and rather

addictive.  Get your joystick plugged in for this game!

APD448

Card & Other Games II

David A. Lorner

Also known to be 1200 compatible.  This is David's second disk of games,

I  find  these  different games of Patience ever so addictive!  They are

supplied  with  good  instructions  which  give  a  probability  rate of

success.  This time we also have a version of the Rubic's Clock puzzle.

APD455

Short Out

Dave Cherrington

Short out is a puzzle game that will keep you going for hours.  The idea

is  to  diffuse  a  bomb  by  connecting  your  defusing  machine to the

terminals  on  the bomb to make it safe.  Of course the right wires have

to  be connected or you will blow yourself up.  After each bomb is safe,

you are given a password which allows you onto the next level and a clue

which  you  should  remember to solve the final challenge.  This disk is

shareware, so if you like it, send Dave two pounds!

APD458

Top Of The League

Tony Kingsmill

This is a soccer management game, the first in the APDsection (there is

one  in  GPD).  Use your skills as a manager to get your team to the top

of the league.  Text and graphics are used in this program.

APD461

Frust & Devil's Dittany

Mark Potter

Two games for the price of one from Mark Potter who has given us so much

of  his  work  in the past.  His latest offerrings are FRUST, which is a

Thrust  type  game,  which  I  must  admit I can't get the hang of!  and

Devil's  Dittany  which  can  be  played  against the computer of better

against  another  human.   Each  player has his own screen to follow the

wizard's progress as he goes around collecting herbs to make spells.

APD462

Speedy Reedy & Football

Stephen Binder

Two  games  again  on this disk!  Speedy Reedy and His Crazy Capers is a

joystick  controlled  maze  game where the aim is to guide Speedy around

the  screen  collecting  sweets and avoiding the baddy at the same time.

It's  a  good  little game which I got quite addicted to even if I can't

get  past Level 1!  The trick seems to be to keep moving - don't stop to

breathe,  sneeze  or  gulp a mouthful of coffee!  Football is a game for

those  who  just  like pressing the mouse button.  You don't haver to do

anything  else!   The program takes you through a season of competitions

giving  you  the  results  of  each  round  with the list of the overall

winners  given at the end.  It does have some strange fascination factor

that keeps you pressing the mouse button until the end tho'!  It will be

usefull to those who wish to see just how the scores were generated etc.

APD471

Couples 2 & Nomis

Graham Lund

This  disk contains the latest version of Graham's Couples game which is

a  nicely  presented  Pairs game for two players.  Nomis is a Simon game

where  you  have  to  repeat  a  sequence  of colours by clicking on the

screen.  Both games are very well presented.

APD473

Amos Invader & Creepy Crawly

SM Sutton & F Dudley

A  value  disk  with two games for you.  Amos Invaders by SM Sutton is a

version  of  the old classic Space invaders which is very well done with

aliens  which  get  faster  and  faster  as the game progresses.  Creepy

Crawley is a novel game from Frank Dudley.  You control a spider who has

to  eat the flies it catches in its web.  Watch out in later levels, the

flies  fight  back!   Both of these programs are useful for beginners to

look  at, as usual, the code is on the disk for you to look at.  This is

the sort of program which can be played around with to see how it works.

APD475

Lateral Quizzes 3,4 &5

Dr John Foley

Parts 1 & 2 of this series of quizes can be found on GPD184 as they are

compiled.   This disk contains three lateral thinking quizzes for you to

wrap  your  brains  around.   They  are  Easy Amos written and show that

people  who  have bought Easy Amos are coming to grips with programming.

By  following  the  series  from  1 through to 5 you will see how John's

coding  has  improved  since  the quizes were started a couple of months

ago.  A warped sense of humour is needed to guess the answers to some of

the questions which are set out in a 'Catchphrase' style.

APD480

Slamball

M K Lysons

This is a futuristic type ballgame management game where there are loads

of  options  to  help  you  get your team to the top of the championship

table.

APD485

Style

Neil Wright

Style  is  a  pairs  matching game which is very Stylish with 3-D effect

tiles  for  you to select to make up the pairs.  You can also change the

number  of  tiles  in  the  game  to make it easier for younger players,

although  finding 2 matching sets out of 4 cards might be a bit too easy

for even the youngest player!  Nice version of an old favourite.

APD494

Demons Breach

Mark Potter

This  is  another  Mark  Potter game.  This time we have a platform game

where  you  have  to  grt  through  the levels by shooting spells at the

beasties.   You  play  the  role  of  a  wizard  and your spells gain in

strength as you progress through the game.

APD495

Arena 12

Paul Nordovics

This is a two player game where the idea is to seek out your opponent in

the  maze  and blast him before he blasts you!  An added feature is that

there  are  energy  pods to be collected in each level and your strength

and  weaponry  changes  according  to  the number of these that you have

collected.   Of  course,  these energy pods will also aid your enemy!  A

well presented game.

APD496

Yachting

Stephan Scholz

This  is  a  game written in AMOS 3-D.  It is the first game of its kind

that  I have seen anywhere.  You are sailing a yacht in a race around a

bay,  navigating  around marker buoys and trying to beat your opponents.

This  game  has atmosphere!  The display moves up and down just like the

real thing with all the appropriate creaks etc you'd expect to hear when

sailing.  Good fun.

APD541

Super Battle Zone

From Australia

This is a 3-D game.

APD542

the program picks numbers that could come up.

APD576

Moonbase

From Australia

This is a trader/Sim type game set on the moon where the aim is to build

up a colony. Looks interesting, but I haven't had time to play it!

APD577

From Australia

This is a vertically scrolling Space Shoot'em up game where, like on

earth you can only die once!

APD578

Close Quarters

FromAustralia

This game needs two players. You can choose your weapons before setting

out to blow your enemy away.

APD579

Alphabet

From Australia

I didn't know quite where to put this one as it isn't really a game!  It

is an educational program which displays the letters of the alphabet one

at  a time with a suitable picture and description, also a message which

tells  the  child of possible dangers or more info.  eg Car - Do not get

into a stranger's car.

APD580

Deep Space

From Australia

APD581

Games

From Australia

This  disk contains two popular games.  The first is a version of Cleudo

called  Who Did It?  for 2 to 4 players.  The idea is to move around the

board  collecting the clues which come in 9 pieces each and fit together

on  a grid to make a complete pictureof Who Did It.  Wheel of Fortune is

like  the TV game, but you must bear in mind that the TV Programs in the

Answers are Australian.

APD582

Games

From Australia

The games on this disk are Arena and Crosswords.

APD596

Universal Racer

Mark Potter

This  is  a car racing game which gives you a choice of vehicles, choice

of  tracks  and the number of laps can be set from 1 to 5 for each race.

This  game  is  joystick  controlled  and  looks  good.   Source code is

included. 

APD603

Tables Test/Little Imps

G Wood

Here  we  have  2 educational programs both of which are based on maths.

Tables  Test  is  just  that, a program to aid the learning of the times

tables  while  the  Little  Imps  program  covers addition, subtraction,

multiplication  and division.  The idea for this one is that you have to

answer  enough  sums  correctly  to fill up the `think tanks'.  There is

also  a  reward game to play where you have to shoot down the paint pots

which the imps are carrying as they fly across the screen.

APD604

Jordan vs Shaq

Craig Warner

This is a basketball package which has 3 different programs.  One on One

is  a  two  player basketball game, Slam Dunk Contest is a shoot out for

points choosing from 8 different trick moves to allow your player to get

the  ball  in  the  basket.   Three  point shoot out is a game where two

players take turns to shoot at goal to see how many points can be scored

in a set time.

This is a source only version of the game which originally came to us on

4 disks.  The graphics are not the best, but the game works well.

APD605

Duel Sword Doods

Lee Bamber

After  a  year,  we've  got  this game on the library!  Due to disks not

working  and  getting  lost  in the post, it's now here for you to play.

It's  a  chop'em  up  game  for two players who control 2 sword wielding

fighters.   The idea is to cut up your opponent or drive him against the

nasty  spikes  which  stop him retreating down the exit tunnel.  I think

they  come  from  Mars  as  they  bleed green blood!  Recommended by our

junior in-house testers.

APD610

Knightwoode

Tony Kingsmill

This is a rarity in the library as we do not get many adventures sent

in.

Tony has sent in this demo version which allows you to play the first

3 parts of the game - to get the rest you will have to contact him!

I have tried it out and it looks interesting. It's mainly text,but has

some illustrations if you wish.

The adventure lets you explore many locations through a town, woods,

sewers castle and more and the code provided is well commented to let

you see how it was constructed.

APD614

Blockit

Graham Lund

This  game  is a variation on the old bat and ball game.  The difference

here  is  that instead of knocking a ball back to your opponent, the aim

is  to  stop  the balls hitting the boundery on your side of the screen.

The  balls  appear  several  at  a  time  and  move across the screen at

differing  speeds  so that you have to dash from one end to the other to

hit  them.  If you miss, you lose a life, if you hit lots, you get extra

lives.   There  are very many different options you can use to make each

game  different.  These include speed and different game screen choices,

e.g.  vertical game with balls coming from top and/or bottom, horizontal

game etc.  An interesting game from Graham who has several others in the

library. 

APD619

Games Disk

Michele Berionne

This is a disk of four source only games sent in my Michele from Italy.

Atoms is the best game, it is a logic game to be played by 2-4 players.

The idea is to place atoms on a grid, when the limit for that square is

reached, the atom explodes into the adjacent ones often causing chain

reactions which wipe out other players' atoms - the winner is the person

who has atoms left when everyone else has been blown away.

Tetris - a new version of the old favourite.

Fantasy - blast the beasties with your mouse!

Super - Arcade game

APD622

Amos Pro Games Disk

Various

This disk contains the source code for 3 games written with Amos Pro and

will  NOT run in Amos Classic.  Mazes is by Robin Cook and is a game set

on  5  levels of difficulty and is a game for one player set in 4 mazes,

all of which are displayed on the screen at the same time.  Level one is

a trainer level, but on the higher ones you can be killed by an enemy or

bomb  in  any  of  the mazes, not just the one in which you are playing!

The  best  description  I  can  think  of for this game is 4-way Pacman!

Shooter  is  a space invader type game but here you only have one target

to  shoot  at.  There are 9 levels of skill and you get a limited number

of  shots.  Power Pong by Harvey Ball is a nice variation of the old bat

and ball game for two players where each player has a bat on one side of

the screen and the aim is to hit the ball into the goal of your opponent

at  the  opposite  side  of the screen.  There is a choice of 5 sporting

themes to play to add variety to the game.

APD623

Black Belt Tournament

D Slater & M Pickett

This  is  a  karate  tournament  game  where  you  can take out all your

frustrations  by  kicking your opponent without getting hurt.  Not a bad

game  from  Mr  Slater  and Mr Pickett, but as I do not really like this

sort  of  game (joysticks and me don't get on!) I couldn't get to see it

all the way through.

APD629

It's the Cars..

Mark Potter

The full title of this game is `It's the cars that ate the world'. A bit

of a strange title, but the idea seems to be that you drive your mutant

car around the game map running over the nasties who, from what I've

seen are people.

I'm no great joystick users, so I couldn't get very far, but it's an

interesting idea and as the code is on the disk, it could show other car

game writers how it's done!
