Disk 601 Amos Progs #45 Various Galactic Gabby is a Space invader clone, PNR Quiz tests your knowledge of pop music and we have the code for 2 more of John the Doc's Lateral Quizes (16 & 17) Disk 602 F1 Source code Issue 1 F1 Licenseware Steve and Belinda Bye who run a new Licenseware scheme in Exeter have sent us in their first issue of Amos PD source code. Some of it has appeared on Amos PD before, but a lot of it is Steve's own work. Disk 603 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. Disk 604 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. Disk 605 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. Disk 606 NB AMOS Neil Wright This is the demo version of Issue 5 of the Nothing But Amos disk magazine which is proving very popular indeed. Full details of how to get future issues are on the disk. Disk 607 Digital Orgasm II Shockwave/Cubic This is what Shock wave has in this demo - one of the few with Amos Source! Cool Intro Sequence! Nifty graphics! 3D Lightsourced Spheres in 1 VBL! 16 RGB Bobs in 1 VBL! 80 Shadebobs in 1 VBL! 500 Sinedots in 1 VBL! 170*170 3 Bitplane transforming filled cube in 1 VBL! 170*170 Rgb Vector in 1 VBL! 160*160 Filled Disk in 2 VBLS! 25 Vectorbobs in 1 VBL!

Disk 608 Using Amos #1 Colin McCallister This is another Amos User's magazine disk, this first issue being PD. It contains articles, or info on what will be in it plus source code directories. Disk 609 Mal's Demo Versions Disk Malcolm Lavery Malcolm has sent us a disk which contains demo versions of programs which as being sold as NBA Licenseware, without code, or with code direct from Malcolm. The disk contains demo versions of Sonic Drum Kit and the Game Map editor. Also on the disk is the full PD version of Mal's Zone Editor and a few useful & Interesting procedures. Disk 610 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. Disk 611 Liberator extras T-Soft This disk is released into PD by the author of the new Liberator extension. It contains some utilities, most of which will be of use to the more experienced programmer, as is the Liberator extension itself. It is a must to those who have the Liberator extension, which is not itself PD. Disk 612 amoszine issue 0 F1 Licenseware F1 Licenseware have now joined in the Amos disk magazine family. This is the PD issue which aims to show you what they intend to give you in the following issues, the first due on June 1st. There are articles covering programming and hints and tips as well as a first hand insight into F1 Licenseware which is growing at a steady pace. Disk 613 easyslide v1.0 John A Kinsella John Kinsella presents his Easy Slide program which will allow you to construct a slideshow of pics from an almost infinite number of disks. John's Slideshow Construction Kit has been very popular, this looks like an even easier version which can be used by anyone, even me! Disk 614 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. Disk 615 midimagix Alex Magney This program needs a midi interface and midi instrument to work, so, we have not been able to test itfor ourselves, although we are waiting for a report from some one who has the right hardware. It was written for an A level Project, hopefully it will help Alex to get a good grade! All I can say about the program is that when it loads, you get a screen where you can set your preferences for your keyboard. Apparently, the graphics change when you select different voices on the midi instrument. More about this program as soon as we get it! Disk 616 AMOS DIALOGUE PROCEDURES John A Kinsella By using the AMOS Dialog Procedures, you can create a number of different programs which contain dialog boxes and requesters. Each of the procedures are written so that they act like a normal Amos command, this is to avoid confusion on how to use them. If you require a certain dialog box or specific type of button, then it is easy enough to simply create it using the procedures provided. I am sure that this will be very useful to many Amos users who want to maketheir programs look more professional. Disk 617 Totally Amos Progs 6 TA Readers This is the sixth collection of programs sent in to Totally Amos. It contains programs from the past few issues as well as some which were too big to put on the magazine.

Disk 618 Disk 619 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!

Disk 622 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. Disk 623 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. Disk 624 Percy's Adventures Harvey Ball This is volume one of two so far produced. There are 2 stories on this disk, Percy goes to the dentist and Percy goes shopping. They are short stories told in comic book style. Might be useful for those who want to contruct something similar. Disk 625 The Cyborg Carrot Harvey BAll This is a grisley tale of a cybornetic carrot told in comic book style. Hard to describe, really! Disk 626 Percy's Adventures 2 Harvey Ball Volume two in the series of everyday adventures of Percy. Here he visits the doctor and also has a haircut. Disk 627 Mal's Sampled Speech: There are 73 examples of speech on this disk, they are of a reasonable size and should be useful in your programs!The filenames tell you what the speech is. 4321, Airstrike, Air_to_Ground, Alert, Amo, Astalavesta, Chaingun, Close, Come_Here, Complete, ContestantReady, Damage_Critical Destruction_In Excelent, Faitality, Fifty, Fight, FinishHim, Finish_Him, First_Aid, FlawlessVictory, Forty, Get_Out, Get_Over_Here Going_Down Going_Down, HeGotIt, Helecopter_sound, Intercepter, Intruder, Jonny, JustInTime, Kano, Keys, Lets_Go2, Lets_Go, Look_Out, LueKang, Marveless, Mayday, Mission_Acom, MoveOut, Naparm, NO!, OhDamn, OhIAgree, OhYes, One, Over_Kill, Raygan, Requires, Return, Re_Load, Rockets, Scorpion, Seconds, Sonya, SubZero, Take_Him_Out Take_Off, Ten, Terminated, ThatsIt, ThatWillHelp, Thirty, TookAHit, Touch_Down, Twenty, Two_Many_Hits Two, Uhrrr!, WellDone, Wins. Author: Malcolm Lavery Disk 628 Amos Progs #47 Naval Battle by Michele Berione is a version of the old Battleships game It is beatable, but can give you a hard game! Air Hockey is a two player hockey game, simple, but playable. Blackjack is the classic card game. Abase is a very nice database found on a bullitin board. Finally Clouds is a cloud generator which gives excellent screens of fluffy cloud patterns which are always useful for backdrops. Disk 629 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! Disk 630 Fractastic J Houseley This is a new fractal generator which will produce patterns which could be used as backdrops etc. It has many options so that you can configure it to produce patterns in different ways and a palette changer so that you can create subtle pictures in hues of the same colour or mind blowing flourescent patterns! Also on the disk is a program which will catalogue the contents of a disk and save them to disk to be used as a quick reference. The catalogue created can then be viewed fron an icon in Workbench. An example is on the disk. To fill up the disk, there is also a font reader which will list all the fonts available in the presently assigned workbench source. A good value disk. Disk 631 WAC 1 Paul Gumsley This is the PD issue of one of the latest Amos Magazines. Try it out, then if you are a member of Totally Amos, you will be able to claim a discount on future issues.
