Disk 201 Slideshow: Please order Disk 202 (Disc 2) also. This is a collection of digitised pictures of a very high standard. The disc contains some stunning pictures in three categories. One contains brilliant pictures of animals, section 2 is entitled FANTASY and contains some really good quality pictures. The third section is a favourite of the kids as it contains pictues of American Wrestlers and they are currently big fans of Hulk Hogan who, unfortunately, dosen't feature in this slideshow. Some of the FANTASY section may not be suitable for young children although I didn't find anything offensive about them - it's a matter of personal censorship. Author: Ronnie Simpson Disk 202 ASI Vol 50 Assassins Euphorion, Roach Motel (AMOS), Balders Green Disk 203 xenomorphs demo robots Xenomorphs & Fractalmania are the two parts in this demo. They contain some good routines which may be of use to other AMOS programmers. Good graphics and music. Disk 204 robots megademo 1 robots Lots of different bob routines. This is another well presented demo by Robots. Disk 205 ASI Vol 53 Assasins Supercube, Power wars, Mastermind, Velcro Grub, Venus Invaders, Quadung, Splash, Kings Disk 206 ASI Vol 54 Assassins Serene, Car Wars, Serene II Disk 207 madness week demo syntex Please order Disk 208 (Disc 2) also. Disconnect DF1: for some reason, best known to the programmers. This is an excellent demo once more from Syntex. This demo is the one used by Mandarin (or Europress Software as they now wish to be known) in their most recent ad. It's the one that is reminiscent of Shadow of the Beast. Control the "Beast" with the joystick and enter different parts of the demo by going through different doors. Disk 208 Disk 209 fanatix demo 1 Please order Disk 210 (Disc 2) also. This two disc demo contains some good routines. The group responsible for it wants to get in touch with other AMOS demo groups so drop them a line if you're into coding demos. Disk 210 Games & Demos Various The Games on this disk are:- Pyromania & Mean Genie by Frank Dudley, Light Bikes by Aaron McCormick. The Demos, All by Derek Piper are Colour Rave Demo, Funline Demo and Hardline Demo. In Pyromania, you have to fly around lighting candles as they move around the screen. In Mean Genie, you are on a magic carpet and have to bomb ghosts whilst avoiding snakes. Light bikes is a 1 or 2 player version of the Tron game. The Demos are all colourful and should give you some ideas to emulate. Disk 211 Lateral Quizes 6-10 Dr John Foley This disk contains the compiled versions of John the Doc's latest quizes. These will keep you well amused on a rainy day! Suitable for all ages! Disk 212 Numtris Demo This is an educational version of the now classic Tetris. As you might have guessed, the game involves numbers. There are three difficulty levels, level 1 isn't too bad, but Level 3 will tax everyone who hasn't got a calculator for a brain! In this game you have to build up columns of bricks each of which has a number to make up the target number at the bottom of the screen. The hard part is remembering the existing totals for each column so that you can out the next brick in the best place - if you exceed the target number, then that colomn is 'dead' until a 'zap' brick comes along which will allow you to wipe out the whole column. Getting the exact target number will give you a new number to create. 500 and 1200 compatible- there are two speeds set and basically whichever Amiga you choose will alter the speed. Shareware registration will get you the full version, this one trips out before a level is complete. Disk 213 dreamers 5.1 Sadly this is the last disc mag from DREAMERS. They also wish me to point out that their PD library is no longer operating. Could be a collector's item this one. Disk 214 hanissis 5 demo 1 shock wave & pinnicle This group doesn't usually program in AMOS but they have released this disc so that you can use the code in your own demos. I was very impressed with the quality of this demo. It contains some (not "proper") 3D vector routines, use the mouse to zoom in and out. There's some useful code on this disc. Disk 215 Fractals Workshop B. J. Hills Contains two readme files the first of which recommends some good titles of books on fractals and the second of which explains what the programs on the disc do. The disc contains slideshows on MandelBrots and Julia Sets and also generators for both. A "must have" if you are interested in fractals. Disk 216 fanatix megademo 2 Please order Disk 217 (Disc 2) also. Please note: THIS DISC REQUIRES TWO DRIVES. Good graphics and effects in this demo. Nice use of bobs and I particularly liked the end sequence. the opposition. This disc is recommended for budding programmers. Disk 217 Compiled Amos Games Various This disk contains programs which were sent in, or requested to be distributed as compiled versions. Space invasion is from Kev Gallagher, and is an Amos version of the classic game. Invaders is a slightly different invaders game where the aliens move horizontally in single rows while you zap them, this is by David Christian. Ben Addis sent us in Amigaclock which is an alarm clock proggie - full explanation given. Fabrizio Bazza gives us the last 2 progs on this disk. Mefistofele is a card game and Nag is a snake in a maze game where the bad snkes are hell-bent on eating you a segment at a time! Disk 218 Amos Programs 15 Various Disc contains the following programs. 3 excellent bob routines by Steve Bennett for you to use in your own demos, very effective. MegaBase v2.2 by Ben Ashley. Skeet and Target Shooting by Steve Bennett. A simple game written with learner programmers in mind to help you master AMOS. The program is unfinished so you can add whatever you want to it, a high score table for example. Hit The Target by Nick and Matt Tucker - a simple fairground shooting gallery. Give 'em hell by Ben Ashley is a game in which you have a choice of aircraft, helicopter, tank or jeep, It's red against green and you have to shoot the opposition. This disc is recommended for budding programmers. Disk 219 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. Disk 220 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. Disk 221 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. Disk 222 Steve's Samples 1 Steve Bennett About 40 different samples for use in your AMOS programs. Sounds are Ah, am i evil, bailchord, basics, bass10, BassI, Bubble, Car skid, computer_alarm, cowboy_gun1, cowboy_gun2, damp, death_gong, Double Bass, dxbase, Echodrum, EffectI, EffectII, Electric Guitar2, Elephant, Explosion, gitty, Gong, Human, HumanII, Jungle, kef-bass, Little ben, Machine-Gun, No, Piano2, pops, powerbassdrum, Scream, Slap bass, Snare1, Sphere, Tiger, TomI, Tropical birds, wierdDisk 223 Steve's Samples 2 Steve Bennett samples on this disc are bettergetback, bigexplosion, birdsong, crickets_chirping, death_gong, duck_talk, fire, gameover, getready, goodshooting, gunshoot, heartbeat, laugh, letsrock, mans_cough, monster_roar, music1sam, music2, newend, ooooh_errr, orac_switch_on, pop3, pops1, smartbomb1, space_alarm, space_alarm2, standbyforaction, tank_shooting, vibro_buildup, vin_price_laugh, visitwithpeace, watchyourfire, youll_never_escape Disk 223 Steve's Samples 2 Steve Bennett samples on this disc are bettergetback, bigexplosion, birdsong, crickets_chirping, death_gong, duck_talk, fire, gameover, getready, goodshooting, gunshoot, heartbeat, laugh, letsrock, mans_cough, monster_roar, music1sam, music2, newend, ooooh_errr, orac_switch_on, pop3, pops1, smartbomb1, space_alarm, space_alarm2, standbyforaction, tank_shooting, vibro_buildup, vin_price_laugh, visitwithpeace, watchyourfire, youll_never_escape Disk 224 Steve's Samples 3 Steve Bennett Samples on this disc include alienexplosion1, ambulance_siren, bettergetback, bigexplosion, cardiograph, churchbells, cock_a_doodle_do, cricket, donkey, double_cannon_shot, earthstoodstill, fire_engine_horn, fog_horn, hammer_thud, it_came_intro, laser_fade, lightning, morse_code, music3, oh_no, ouch, police_car_siren, race_car_engine, refs_whistle, seagull, ships_horn, single_shot_laser, sky_rocket, tank, tom_tom_and_people, trimphone, tyre_screech, weeuw, wheee, window_breaking, wip, yip, youll_never_escape Disk 225 Steve's Samples 4 Steve Bennett Samples on this disc are aaaaahhhhh1, aaaaahhhhh2, aaaahhh, another_laser, automatic_fire, ball_bounce, biplane_diving, biplane_engine, breakout_ball_wall, bubberling, cards_shuffle, car_skid1, car_starter_and_revs, car_starter_motor, car_tickover, dog_bark, end_of_level, galactica_laser, get_ready, glass_breaking_1, glass_breaking_2, gunshot, heartbeat, heavy_ball_bounce, helicopter, helicopter1, helicopter2, hello_driver, horse_trotting, horse_whinney, laser3, laser4, laser_cannon, machinegun, marching, metal_bar, motorboat, music1, music2, revolver_single_shot, rifleshot_richchet_1, rifleshot_richchet_2, rifleshot_richchet_, rifleshot_with_echo, single_shot Disk 226 Steve's Samples 5 Steve Bennett Samples on this disc are 20's_style_jingle, anti_aircraft_gun, arrow, ball_bounce, bird_chirp, boing, BOYEE, bump, burp, car_horn, car_horn_honk, car_rev_drive_off, car_skid_crash, cavalry_charge, crowd_roar_1, door_slam, drum_roll, flash, frog_jump, FUNKY DRUMMER 1, hammer_ring, heart_beat, iluvyou, lightning, loads_of_cowboy_fire, mass_effects_1, ping-noing, pop, rain, sky_rocket1, sky_rocket2, space_warp, starwars_laser, steamboat_hoot, sword_clang1, sword_clang2, thunder, wee-donk, wind, zylaphonejingle.

Graveyard Beats by Paul Harthen, Acieed! by Ian Faichnie (new member) and Revolution by Paul Harthen. F2 gets you into the "HQ" part. You are presented with a picture of Robot's HQ and invited to touch different parts of the screen to see what happens. Press on the brain for a laugh. Disk 228 Demos & Game From Australia Headstrong Demo, Invoice Demo, Pacman. Two demos and a game. Disk 229 Amos Multipaint 2.0 Markus Nimtz Usual paint package facilities. Press "Q" for help whilst using the program. Disc contains some pictures created using the package. Disk 230 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. Disk 231 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. Disk 232 ZOG-Fonts 1 J Auslebrook Demo showing big Fonts for Ctext, available as shareware Disk 233 Amos Programs 16 Contains code for an AMOS PDL catalogue with a full list of the discs prior to May 91. If you are thinking of producing a disc catalogue using AMOS then this program might be useful. The catalogue boots up but you need AMOS for the other programs. Also contains AmosCopy, SoundTracker2.2 which is a better coded version of the converter, and Spacker which is a small program for packing IFF pictures. Disk 234 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. Disk 235 Assorted Compiled Programs Various programs from the USA plus EasyBase and Text Convertor Disk 236 Bounce Paul Young This game is a very colourful platform game where you choose your level from a rotating menu. Disk 237 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. Disk 238 A. i. m. Martin Donnelly AMOS IMAGE MANIPULATOR is a simple program based on Pixmate. You can use it to smear your picture to give it a sort of D-Paint smooth look. Pixelize your picture, change the colour to give red, blue, green or grey scales. Flip the screen horizontally or vertically. Shift the colours up and down, splatter them, shrink the screen or erase part of it. Disc contains examples. Documentation can be read from Workbench. Disk 239 fanatix music 1 Please order Disk 240 (Disc 2) also. If you have an external drive please disconnect.

Disk 240 Disk 241 Necessary Roughness This is a two disk American football management game written in Amos. It looks very impressive, but as I don't have a clue about the game, I find it hard to describe! Disk 242 Music Player: Needs AMOS to run. Contains Baal, Cabal, LdRunner, Thesign and Thunder. Use the arrow keys to scroll through the songs and press return to play them. Autor: Mark Dyson Disk 243 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). Disk 244 Amos Programs Chris Hurst Some of the programs on this disc are Shareware - please read the docs for information. Disc contains a program for you to make your own slideshows (listen to the STARTREK samples while you run the program). CHR$.AMOS which returns scancodes when you type in a letter or number from the keyboard. SCANCODE.AMOS which returns the character and scancode of any key pressed. Disc autoboots. Disk 245 Amos Programs Steve Bennett Produced with the beginner in mind. Disc contains skeet-shooting, light-cycles, simple-breakout, king-of-the-castle and sprite-viewer. Also on the disc are some sprites sent in after my plea. Thank you Steve. We are still hoping to receive more discs containing sprites so if you can draw please help. Disk 246 Niall 3.0 Demo Mat Peck This version of Niall is shareware. Some of the facilities have been disabled. You can buy the full version from Mat if you register. NIALL stands for Non-Intelligent AMOS Language Learner. This version is a vast improvement on the previous PD program both in presentation and ease of use. You can have great fun trying to converse with the computer. There are also some source code programs on the disc which require AMOS to run. Disk 247 deja vu slides 1 darrel belshaw Disc contains screens from Colouring Book, Thingamajig, Jungle Bungle, Pukadu, 4-Way Lynx and Work and Play. Disk 248 Deja Vu Slides 2 Darrel Balshaw Disc contains screens from AMOS Assembler, Word Factory, Go-Getter, Hypnotic Land, Play It Safe, Arc Angel's Shapes and Pictures. Gives you an idea of the quality of licenseware before you buy. Disk 249 janet jackson mark jarvis Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation Demo. Press return when it's loaded to get the music going. Lisen to the music and look at the black and white digitised pictures of her. If Michael Jackson has had so much plastic surgery as the papers claim how does Janet manage to look so much like him? Sorry, I digress, this demo will probably appeal to Janet Jackson fans. Disk 250 BICC Bill Tribble The program on this disk is properly named Bill's Magic Colour Cycler. It's a series of coloured patterns which change and gyrate in the form of a slideshow. It's something you could use as disco lights! There are options to adjust brightness etc to make it blend in with your colour scheme if you so wish. The comment on the disk label says `Don't leave earth without it!' - As if I would! ========== EDUCATIONAL - COMPILED AMOS & NON-AMOS ============ Disk 251 Mr Shark Goes Racing This racing game won a prize at the 1994 FES show in London. It is a good program and is a shareware demo with more tracks etc available for a fee. Disk 252 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. Disk 253 HIGH OCTANE TURBO. Paul Overy This is the best Amos racing game around to date and shows what can be done with Amos using the Turbo extension. Well worth looking at if you enjoy this type of game. ====================ALLSORTS OF MUSIC ======================= Disk 254 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. Disk 255 hanissis v demo 2 shockwave and pinnacle I really like what this group is trying to do for AMOS. Unlike Syntex demos all their code is unlocked. Their idea is to help improve the standard of AMOS demos. In this one they challenge other demo groups to do better. Contains bob routines to blow your socks off - well I think they're good anyway. Unlimited bobs with a new direction effect that I haven't seen before. Unlimited bobs with a bubble effect. Very smooth multi-layer parallax starfields. Great music too. More please. Disk 256 Amos Programs Chris Hurst Disc contains SonicBlast a simple music player. SBV sprite bank viewer. Also on the disc is GrubGrabber one of Chris's early games. Some of the programs on this disc are Shareware. Disk 257 deluxe labeller delboy dodson Very well presented program for generating inlay cards for cassettes. The program is icon driven and the default printer is set to Epson. There is an option to set it up to suit your printer. Excellent utility. Also on the disc for AMOS users is oodles of source code. EDITOBJ, SHOWOBJ, JOURNAL, ADDRESS-BOOK and MEGABASE. Thanks to all the programmers who contributed to the disc. Please note some of these programs, written in early versions of AMOS, might not work correctly under the latest version. Try to change them to make them work. Disk 258 Amos Games 3 Various GLODRICK by Luke Miller. Nice music Luke. The evil star thief has raided the night sky of Babbleville, taken the stars and left them in a deep cavern. You have to retrieve them. Nice platform and ladders game. Not too difficult either even I managed to complete a few levels! ERIC WATCH YOUR STEP by Colin Naylar. Help Eric to get home. Landmines litter the way through 6 levels of difficulty. A nice touch is hitching a lift on the train in a couple of levels. In the final stage you must help Eric reach his front door. Simple game. HANGMAN by Simon Walklate. Not much need to explain this one. Disk 259 chopper2 robin hall Please order Disk 260 (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. Disk 260 Disk 261 fanatix demo 3 Please order Disk 262 (disc 2) when ordering this. First off there's a 2D line demo, very pretty. Then there's the equaliser bars with music from Cryptic UK. Rotating scroller demo conatained a lot of text that I felt obliged to censor. Sorry about that lads but I won't publish demos containing four letter words. The next bit is called 'Star Harrier' which is fairly self-explantory. Then we come to the star of the show 'Unlimited Bobs' that you can control with the mouse. There are some excellent effects achieved in this demo I just wish they'd stop slagging off the PD library. I do my best. Disk 262 Disk 263 fanatix demo 4 Please order Disk 264 (disc 2) when ordering this disc. Would you believe it in this demo they are complaining about being censored!! I give up!! The first bit demonstrates the smooth hardware scrolling that AMOS is capable of. The second part contains a fast moving game of Breakout controlled with the mouse. Next bit has a very smooth dual scroller. Another good demo from Fanatix packed with interesting routines and many more parts. Disk 264 J A K Routines#1 John Kinsella This is a disk of very useful routines which will be of tremendous use to beginners who may be asking "How do I do.....". These routines are:- SPLERGE-splurge a pic onto the screen: FRACTAL TREE- creates a fractal drawn tree: LINE EDIT - allows editing of a line of a given length in your prog: BAT'N'BALL- a little Arkanoid type game: SCROLLER - how to scroll text as seen in demos: OUTLINE areas on the screen in any colour: FADE PICTURE: 32-16 - converts 32 or 64 colour .iff pics to 16 colours. PICCY CONVERTOR: MUSIC PLAYER: PIXELIZE - enlarges pixels in given area of screen using Pixelize command: 3-D REQUESTOR - a 3-D requestor prog to prompt user: BUTTON PRESS- checks parts of screen for user response: 3-D BOX: FILE COPIER - ute for copying a file from A to B Disk 265 time demo looping Simple demo disc containing all the usual demo routines including star fields, vu meters and nice music. There is a little animation of a ninja at the bottom of the screen which is quite nice. Nothing really new. Disk 266 Amos 3D Demo I suggest you buy this demo before you buy Amos 3D as this will show you just what can be done with the new Amos module. This demo is absolutely fantastic and all the graphics are so smooth in motion you would think they were produced in machine code. This demo is very good and even if you aren't going to buy Amos 3D at least buy this to see what you will be missing! Disk 267 Sounds Like...: Yet more top notch music from Luke Miller in .ABK form. Pieces on this disc are Hurry Up!, Trundle, Panik, Cry_Baby, Its_Coming!, Arachnid, Before, Heralding, Herra and Forgotten Glory. All the music can be listened to from a simple music player. Author: Luke Miller Disk 268 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. Disk 269 sketch-a-tune colin naylar This is a music creator using a method not unlike SONIX. By this I mean that you point onto the staves and click where you want your notes so it is just like writing a piece of music. There are lots of options including save, load and erase note etc. There are also some samples of music on the disc. Disk 270 vic reeves slides This disc is absolutely jam packed with digitised pictures and sounds from the popular Vic Reeves Big Night Out television program. Such famous lines as "You wouldn't let it lie" are included but it must be stated that non Vic Reeves fans will not like this disc! Disk 271 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. Disk 272 Cybornetics Demo 3 The demo starts off with a fake Guru message that I must admit had me fooled for a short while (very short). There are 6 parts to this demo all which can be chosen off a menu. Move Ya Mouse - use the mouse to move different objects around, very good. Line Game 2 - this is a nice version of the old light cycles game for up to 4 players. Matt's Demo - simple stuff with a bouncing CYBORNETIC. Head Anim - strange animation of an axe chopping someone in half. Head Anim 2 - another weird animation of someone being shot. Strange indeed! Rob's Demo - very nice graphics, lots of nice screen wipes and strange effects. Good demo disc. Disk 273 beer demo Not really a demo disc this but a collection of programs brought together and labelled BEER MANIA. WasterPaint - nice painting program with lots of option. MandelMaster - a full featured mandelbrot creating program. Black Gold Demo - bob routines with a big scroller and large vu meter. Simon - good version of the old classic "Simon" game. Good disc. Disk 274 Fracgen II Slides Gary Shilvock This is a slideshow containing pictures created with Fracgen II (LPD036). These pictures are absolutely fantastic and if this does not convince you that you should buy Fracgen II then nothing will. Disk 275 dark ages demo syntex Please order Disk 276 (Disc 2) when ordering this disc. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A COMPILED DEMO - source code not included. You won't believe the quality of this demo, it will take your breath away. The music, graphics (in fact everything) are completely unbelievable. The starting scenes are completely flawless. This 2 disc demo features paralax scrolling, vector graphics, great text effects, plasma screens, very large scrollers (no jerk what so ever), starfields and much much more. This demo is a MUST! Disk 276 Disk 277 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. Disk 278 Tony's Glider Game This disc contains a simple game where you have to guide your glider down to earth avoiding all the planes etc. Not a bad game. Also on the disc is lots of source code for you to play around with. Disk 279 Font Display This is quite a useful program to display all the fonts on a disc. Although the program itself is not very complex the disc has been filled to the top with fonts for you to use - most of which are very nice. Even if you don't want the program this disc might be worth buying for the fonts alone. Disk 280 Amos Progs 17 Various Another collection of AMOS source programs for you to mess around with and get ideas from. FRACTAL FANTASY - scroller and a mandelbrot, PINK PANTHER - simpledemo using Rainbow command, MINEFIELD - avoid unseen mines and get from one side of te screen to the other, AMOSCOPYv2 - simple file copier, SAMPLECONV - small program for messing about with samples. Disk 281 Amos Progs 18 Various Yet more programs. COLOR IT - simple picture painter program, HECTIC - nicely presented game, BUNNY BLAST - sick shooting game, PRO-GRAFFETI - strange program that lets you doodle on a brick wall, MY MUSIC MACHINE - music creator program and ZONE LOADER - create zones easily. Disk 282 Dr. Strange Music: Please order Disc 2 (Disk 283) when ordering this disc. Well presented music player with 10 very different pieces of music. The screen has benn made to look like a Compact Disc player and has lots of buttons for doing various things. The VU meter and Volume Indicator is also very nice. Good disc. Tunes are:- Bacteria 1-7, equalise, heavyballad, revolution, zimmersound, Drums. Author: Dr. Strange Disk 283 Disk 284 amosagram 1mb is needed because the program loads it's word list onto a RAM disc. Shame! Enter a word into this program in anagram form e.g. LLOHE for HELLO and the program will search through it's word list and descramble the word for you. Nicely presented program. Useful for solving Anagrams. Disk 285 Amos Goodies This disc does boot and does not need AMOS to appreciate the programs. CASSETTE LABELLER - create inserts for cassette tapes, NOUGHTS & CROSSES - self-explanatory, INTERLACE DEMO - shows overscan interlace screen, KALIEDOSCOPE - program to display patterns on the screen, RABBIE BURNS - draws a picture of the man himself using lines and PALETTE SETTER - nice palette program, includes spread function etc. Disk 286 tron & brian There are two programs on this disc both of which need AMOS to run.
