                              ^5LAZERZONE

                          ^4[5by Steve Bennett.[0

^6 Charge up yor lazerguns and get ready to fire!
^6 This  game requires quick reflexes and a decent joystick, I'd settle
^6for one of them!
^6 There  is  a  choice  of one or two players, in the two player game,
^6player one controls the bottom gun, and player two the wall gun.
^6 The  aim is to shoot the baddies before they get to blast you.  Your
^6lazers  are mounted on two tracks, one vertical, one horizontal.  You
^6earn  credits,  and  these are used to buy better weapons.  There are
^6many  extra  features  to  this game, read all about them in the game
^6docs. Each one can move independently, but they fire simultaneously.
^6 The  game  is  very  well  presented  with atmospheric graphics, and
^6excellent  sound samples.  Steve has supplied Déjà Vu's P.D.  Library
^6with  several disks of Samples in the past, so there can be no excuse
^6for bad sounds in his programs!

                         ^5FORMULA 1 CHALLENGE

                         ^4[5by Steven Rennocks.[0

^6 This  is a very well presented game.  It's not an arcade type racing
^6game,  so  put down your joystick!  It's a manager style program where
^6you  choose  your  team,  and  all the other things you need to get a
^6world class team together.
^6 There are plenty of options available, and the program is quite easy
^6to  use.   There  are full instructions on the disk which, if you are
^6going  to  get  the  most  from  this  game, are worth studying.  The
^6graphic   displays   are  very  good,  the  main  options  screen  is
^6exceptionally clear.
^6 The  races  can  be  viewed  a lap at a time, with the cars speeding
^6across  the  screen,  with a report on any events such as crashes, or
^6very  thoughtfully an option to skip through the laps to get onto the
^6next  race.   All  types of reports can be called up, from a table of
^6drivers progress, to each manufacturer's success rate.
^6 This  game  is well worth a look at if you are a fan of this type of
^6game. (see review section for more!)

                              ^5MUSIC BOX

                           ^4[5by Colin Naylor.[0

^6 Here's a disk that will let you have fun with music on the Amiga even
^6if you've no musical talent.
^6 There is a section which tells you a bit about music, excellently set
^6out, and easy to understand. You are also given a guide to using the
^6Music Box, again very nicely presented.
^6 The program itself is easy to use, it is controlled with the mouse, a
^6click on the buttons is all that is needed.
^6 You are allowed to choose the mix of 4 instruments used out of 15
^6available, and listen before deciding what you'd like.
^6 You choose your note and click to place it on the music score. You
^6can change speed, time signature, length of note, you can play your
^6tune or load one of the many samples on the disk.
^6 This will be a very good program to teach the basics of music, the
^6theory and the practical.

                          ^5MAGPIES CLIP ART

                           ^4[5by The Magpies.[0

^6 This  disk was mentioned in the last issue, but not to create a gap,
^6here's a brief mention again.
^6 This  disk  contains  over  300  clipart images never before seen on
^6disk!   The  disk is auto loadable, with a menu selecter to view each
^6page. Included are animals,elves, heads, humans, cricket, soccer etc.
^6  A must for clipart collectors.

                             ^5DIRTY CASH

                            ^4[5by Matt West.[0

^6 This is the very best fruit machine game ever!!
^6 It  is  true  commercial  quality  and if Matt hadn't said so in the
^6intro, you'd argue that it had been written in AMOS.
^6 The graphics are superb, no detail has been spared.  There are loads
^6of special features and the sounds are just like the real thing.  You
^6can  choose  how  much  you  want  to  spend  (lose,  that  is)  thus
^6detirmining  the  length of the game.  The maximum is £10.00p, and it
^6costs 20p a turn.  The whole atmosphere of this program is authentic,
^6even the addictiveness is there, but thankfully, it's cheaper than the
^6real thing!  A must for any collection.

                      ^5SPARX'S STOCKING FILLERS

                              ^4[5by Sparx.[0

^6 Happy Christmas!  By the time you read this, the festive season will
^6be  a  lot  nearer.   This collection of 3 games is another 'Just for
^6Fun' disk, written with the same intention as 'Flower Power".
^6 You get a Yuletide Thingamajig, called Chrismajig, with 6 puzzles to
^6do  and/or  colour  in.   Next  is  "Santa's  Sleigh Ride' which is a
^6sideways  scroller  where  you  control Santa's Sleigh as he delivers
^6your presents.  Beware, if the lights are on in the houses, he cannot
^6deliver  a  parcel, there are mischievous robins and goblins as well.
^6The  last  part  is a pairs game, match the Christmas cards to finish
^6the game.

                            ^5MARVIN THE MARTIAN.

                            ^4[5by Sparx and Mazza.[0

^6 At  last  Marvin  The  Martian makes his entry onto Déjà Vu's range.
^6This game was designed by Melanie `Mazza' Tucker, and coded by Sparx.
^6 Due  to problems with the Compiler, this program has been on ice for
^6the  last  few months during which time both Aaron Fothergill & Peter
^6Hickman have helped trace the root of the problems.
^6 Any how, back to the game!
^6 Marvin's  girlfriend Meryl has been kidnapped.  Marvin has to rescue
^6her,  but  to  do  that  he  has  to  get  through 15 mazes gathering
^6treasures and avoiding the beasties.  The mazes get bigger as you get
^6nearer you get to Meryl, and there are more items to collect.
^6 There  is  a password at the end of each level, so you don't have to
^6start from scratch every time.
^6 This is Number 3 in Sparx's `Just for Fun' series and is again aimed
^6at younger game players, although adults can play if they want!

^6 Marvin will be the star of a new book which we have been asked to
^6write called AMOS MADE EASY. It will be all about how the game was
^6written from idea to testing and should be available next March or
^6April. There isn't a lot we can tell you at present, but look out in
^6the next issue of TOTALLY AMOS to see how things are progressing.

                       ^5MAGPIES CLIPART Disk 2.

                           ^4[5by The Magpies.[0

^6 This  is  the  second  collection  of  new  clipart collected by the
^6Magpies  for  Dèjà  Vu  Software.   There are over 160 images, all of
^6which  have  never  been  put onto disk before.  There are less clips
^6than  on  the  first  disk  because  there  are  bigger images on the
^6screens.   Subjects include sport, people, animals, Egyptian statues,
^6kids, fishing etc.
^6 The  disk  has  its  own selecter, so you can view the files straight
^6away.

                        ^5MAGICAL YOUNG ARTIST.

                         ^4[5by Daisy Software.[0

^6 If  your  kids like painting, but you are fed up of water pots being
^6tipped  over,  then  load  this disk and let their imagination get to
^6work.
^6 There  are thirty stencils on the disk to be coloured in in a choice
^6of 13 colours.  The colours are displayed as paint pots at the top of
^6the  screen  and  all  you have to do is click on one with your paint
^6brush  (aka  mouse  pointer) and click on the part of the screen that
^6you  want  to  paint.  If you make a mistake, you can OOPS it away or
^6just paint over it in another colour.
^6 The  pictures  are  brought onto the screen in a random order and if
^6you  have  a  favourite, then keep selecting 'Next' until it appears.
^6You can clean up the whole picture and start again by clicking on the
^6'Clear' button.
^6 The pictures are all original by Tony Foulkes, and the program is by
^6Paul Burkey.

                           ^4[5by Jeff Tullin.[0

^6 Jeff has produced a version of his LC10 fonts program especially for
^6the  LC200 24 pin printer owners.  Now you too can download new fonts
^6to your printer.
^6 Any chance of the same for the Canon BJ10-e Bubblejet?  (HINT!)
