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Temporarily withdrawn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

Build up your Spanish vocabulary with this program. Three options are
given - English to Spanish, Spanish to English and a random option.

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

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
P-u-a-p Data Disc 2
Len Tucker
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
use in his licenseware game JIGMANIA. This disc needs LPD013 to work.
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

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.
APD385
Games Disk
Various
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
Blackjack & Tutor
From Australia
This disk will teach you how to play Blackjack and the will give you a
game.
APD543
The Race
Previously known as AUS25. This is a simple game where you have to make
2 characters race across the screen.
APD544
Duel And Underworld
From Australia
Previously known as AUS26. Two games from Australia.
APD545
Invaders
From Australia
A game of Invaders.
APD574
Dojo Fight
From Australia
Take out your agression in this two player Karate game where you have to
kick the sense out ofyour opponent.
APD575
Lotto Magic
From Australia
This program is based on the Aussie national lottery and helps users
pick a series of numbers. By inputting the results of past lotteries,
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
Dragnet
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!
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

This is a data disc containing more jigsaw puzzles. The disc requires
APD103 - Pick-Up-A-Puzzle. (unavailable at present)
APD105

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
APD385
Games Disk
Various
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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!
