Disk 3 - SLIDESHOW DISK #3
This slideshow is a rolling show of stills from the Cinemaware game `Rocket Ranger' released in 1988. The sequence is accompanied by some superb digitised music and the game itself in now way looks as old as it now is, try this demo if you are interested in the game.
Disk 4 SLIDESHOW DISK #4
Another 24 pictures getting the slideshow treatment, most of these are pictures converted from HAM (4096 colour) format down to standard 32 colour mode. The results of converting 4096 colour files to 32 colour files are not as bad as you would first think, as these very good examples show.

Contains some excellent art by Sachs who was responsible for the graphics in Defender of the Crown and the vastly underrated Ports Of Call.
Disk 6 - PROBE DEMO
Perhaps one of the most popular discs ever to be placed in the public-domain. (Certainly one of the most popular of our discs). This shows an imaginary sequence recorded from a space craft as it journeys into an uncharted region and onto a strange planet where there have been reports of life. An entertaining and interesting use of digitised black & white graphics and created with The Director. No sound.
Disk 7 - RGB/FOCUS
There are another two demos created with The Director on this disc, one of them RGB requires 1MEG to run and is a competition winner. RGB is a humourous animation of the effects of the user from using a VDU. Strange and very clever use of digitised graphics. Focus is another strange demo that applies an imaginary scientific rule to random numbers with some weird results...
Disk 10 - SLIDESHOW DISK #6
Another low-res NTSC slideshow including some more of Sachs`s excellent work. 29 files: Abe, Alien, Castle, Dan, Eye, Fanplane, Ferrari 225, Final Cut 4, Glowplug, Gorilla, Green Porsche, Honda Accord, Hover Bubble, Iris, Jet Fighter, Jet Sabre, King Tut, Laser, Lemur, Lost, Mazda, Ninja, Pistol, Ps
Disk 11 - CAT/BARON/WIREFRAME
Another classic animation in the form of the Sullivan/Bluth CAT! An excellent digitised cat in a frame runs along as the frame rotates around 360degrees. (Actually one meg is required for a full spin but the effect is still good in half meg!) Also on the disc is a demo for Videoscape of a Biplane flying in and out of the screen in 3D. Also included is a very nice vector graphics demo that is only a few K in size and is REAL TIME ie the vectors are calculated and drawn 50 times every second).
Disk 13 - SLIDESHOW DISK #7
This slideshow consists of 12 great HAM (4096 colour) pictures digitised with the Digi View graphics digitiser. Various files include a superb space ship and a brilliant picture of an old man. Files are in the old digiview format and have to be converted with Pixmate or similar before it will load into Photon Paint etc.
Disk 14 - NOW MUSIC #1
The disc that started a trend! Since the first disc there have been many more. The first one includes 16 pieces of great music.
Disk 16 - SCULPT 3D ANIMS
Perhaps one of THE classic PD discs containing one of the most popular and often used animations; Khanakas. These animations all work on a standard 512K machine and are excellent.
Disk 18 - SONIX DATA #1
Lots of stuff for Aegis Sonix Music package.
Disk 19 - SONIX DATA #2
Lots of stuff for Aegis Sonix Music package.
Disk 20 - SONIX DATA #3

Note that some of the fonts have had their `.font` extension changed to `.fon` to avoid problems with too many fonts loading into programs such as Dpaint2 etc.
Disk 23 - EMPIRE
Complex trading/exploration game EMPIRE that may have some use in education at some point.
Disk 24 - HACK
The first version of the incredibly playable rpg. A bit like dungeonmaster in plan view. Only small icon graphics but the game plays very well as you pilot your way through the rankings and through the dungeon levels to find the amulet. Once found you then have to proceed back through the levels and escape. Great fun.
Disk 25 - SAMPLES DISK #1
26 sampled sounds and effects along with Perfect Sound so you can edit and listen to them in a music package.

Disk 26 - SLIDESHOW DISK #8
This slideshow consists of 18 files of which all are of a classical nature, ie digitised oil paintings etc. Not my cup of tea but the artists among you may appreciate this one. Again a bootable disc with files that can be loaded into other programs.
Disk 27 - SLIDESHOW DISK #9
Roger Dean hits the Amiga in the form of this HAM slideshow. 15 of Rogers classic paintings are captured in the Amigas 4096 colour mode,again digitised with DigiView. People unfamiliar with Roger Deans work may be interested to learn that he is the artist responsible for much of PSYGNOSIS`s artwork. (Inc Barbarian, Terrorpods).
Disk 29 - MACHINE ANIM
An animation created with Videoscape 3D, this features an imaginary machine type thing with lots of moving parts (including the obligatory amiga ball) and is very nice. Requires 1meg to see the full animation.
Disk 30 - BERSERK ANIM
Another Videoscape animation which is very strange its shows three Unicycles being bounced off a ball. Again very good but you will need a megabyte to see the full animation cycle.
Disk 31 - CAR ANIM
The famous car demo which apparantley forms some kind of reference to the inside dealings of companies in the states. Another 1meg affair (inc some music) it features an innocent unicycle just trying to cross the road but it gets run over by a speeding supercar and bounces off the road... hmmm I wonder who the car is supposed to represent...
Disk 32 - SLIDESHOW DISK #10
This disc contains possibly the highest quality digitised graphics yet, all digitised with Digiview by NEWTEK (the manufacturers) themselves. All load into any standard HAM package and are unbelievable when first seen. Includes a brilliant table of food (?!) and a couple of interlaced pictures so crisp and clear that lead you to think its not an Amiga you're using! True photographic quality plus some music.

An excellent playable PD game here, one of the best PD games existing! Basically resembles the sucessful 'Thrust' type game. You have a small craft which you have to move around a set of obstructions and collect keys in order to reach the next level, of which there are 17. Play is by keyboard but doesnt detract from a really addictive game which most people get more out of than some commercial releases.
Disk 84 - COKEMAN AND SMURF
2 nice animations, the first is of a man made out of a coke can who revolves. Its a HAM animation with clever reflection effects and the illusion that it is metal is very good. The smurf animation features a smurf (what else) walking along with the camera panning around it.
Disk 85 - EXPLODING
2 sick pieces of animation on here. The now famous exploding head demo (ugh!) and another of a bloke chopping some poor chaps arm off. For some reason these are really popular, says something about todays society methinks. Made us lot laugh anyway...
