@6Dark Citadel
Rob Massey
F1-151
£6.99 (4 disks)
@1REQUIRES: 1 meg chip (i.e NOT A500) Joystick required.@4
This is one of the best games we have seen for a long time. It is a
Valhalla type adventure game with real-life digitised speech.
The main character is very cute and entertaining.
There are 3 massive levels to the game (each level takes up a whole
floppy disk) You must guide your animated character around the screens
examing, eating and picking up objects to manipulate other objects in order
to solve the puzzles. You can also save your game at any stage.
Dark Citadel is hard disk installable (runs much better) and comes with an
easy to use installer.
@6Sorefist
R.McConnell
F1-150
£3.99 (1 disk)
@1 REQUIRES:Any 1meg+ Amiga, A1200 recommended (speed wise).@4
This beat 'em' up is a tribute to the best game of its era, RENEGADE.
Renegade was a smash hit on the 8 bits and this conversion is really close
except for the enhanced (i.e colour) graphics. There are five hard
worlds to conquer with four difficulty levels and a 'turbo' mode in case
you are really in the mood to kick butt. Joystick required.
#7Demo version available.

Distant drums is a small war game.
You have four worlds to conquer and each world has 21 towns.
Each game will not take long to finish, it was designed for short games
just to pass a few hours away, rather long labourious conquests.
To win a game in Distant Drums you must capture all 21 towns on each
world.You have at your disposle, soliders, horsemen, weapons and a set
amount of cash to carry out your campaign.

@4Classic Pucman
Augenblick
F1-146
£3.99 (1 disks)
---------------@1 Any Amiga.@3
This is a really great game. The greatest and most simple arcade game
ever written is faithfully reproduced here which even includes the
exact same sound effects as in the original arcade game. Every detail
has been reconstructed from the colours and graphics to the level design.
But there are added features too such as options to play in different
modes 'Super Pacman' 'Arcade' etc. 1 or 2 players can play and this
game is suitable for almost any age, my 3 year old son loves it and so does
my Mum! That's two F1 titles mymumlikes, can you spot the other?
Send the answer to Steve at F1 and win a booby prize.
#7Demo version available.
@2Keith's Quest
Jasper Byrne
F1-145
£6.99 (4 disks)
---------------@1Reqs: A1200 or A4000 (not as prev stated).@4
Another great Point & Click Graphic Adventure game. Thos one was inspired by
Relics Of Deldroneye, Jasper liked Relics so much he decided to make his
own adventure in a similar vein. As you must of guessed it is very good,
otherwise it wouldn't be in the F1 scheme of course!
The game was originally on 6 disks but using a good compressor the the lot
now fits on 4 disks. You have plenty to do with nearly 6 megabytes of
adventuring, there are 53 locations, many of them huge scrolling ones,
16 pieces of original music, a mapscreen, bonus in-games including
beat-em-up, shoot-em-up and exploration games. Keith was 2 years in the
making and it shows. A very good game indeed, Amiga Format, CU and
Computing absolutely LOVED it, you will too. Don't take my word for it
check out the demo version.
#7Demo version available.
@2Edword Pro V4.1
Martin Reddy
F1-144
£3.99 (1 disk)
---------------@1 Works on ANY Amiga.@3
This older, bargain priced, but FULL version of Edword Pro is for people
that do not have Workbench 2 or are on a budget. Please see F1 Shareware
section for what Edword is all about.
@2Boris Ball Extra Levels
P.Whitfield
F1-143
£3.99 (1 disk)
---------------@1 REQUIRES BORIS BALL, F1-133.@3
This disk contains 600 new levels for perhaps the greatest bat 'n'
ball game ever. If you have Boris Ball you will know just how
exciting, addictive and fun filled it really is, and why its nearest
rivals don't even come close in terms of sheer playability.
This disk in effect gives you six new complete versions of Boris.
These funtastic boards are about as WILD, WEIRD and WACKY as you are
going to get, and will engage you in many happy hours of absolutely
superb game play. Each set of boards has taken P. Whitfield hours
on end to produce (considerably longer than most people would
probably be willing to spend designing their own boards) in order
to get them absolutely perfect - and the results speak for
themselves! Presented on this essential data disk for any Boris
fanatic are 600 of the very best boards; all highly imaginative,
original and exciting.
To install the boards all you need do is double click on the install icon
and insert your Boris disk, it couldn't be easier.
#7Demo version available
@5The Experiment
John Clay
F1-142
£5.99 (3 disks)
---------------@1 Will work on any 1meg+ Amiga.
@4
At last GRAC created adventure games are starting to appear, expect more
soon. The Experiment is three disks of excellent adventuring, not too
difficult but challenging enough to make it enjoyable to solve.
In the game, you play the part of Bud Lightning - clean cut, shade wearing,
all round nice-guy as he tries to save a Primitive Tribe from extinction
after his base is attacked by the nasty Stingons. Good graphics/music and
competently designed, this will keeo adventurers quite for a while.
One for the collection. The big bonus with the Experiment is even A500
owners can play.
Demo version available, see 'Freebies' file.
--------------------------------------------
@2OUTFALL
David Papworth
F1-141
£3.99 (1 disk)
---------------@4 Will work on any Amiga.*****F1 BEST SELLER*****
This is a brilliant arcade game, it is a clone of a MegaDrive cartridge game
that I have never seen,but it supposed to be a close rendition.
Outfall is one of those very simple games that are so very addictive and
great fun. Based on the Tetris theme, 'beans' fall down the screen in pairs,
you manipulate and position the beans into groups the best you can, 4 beans
of the same colour together will elimanate that group. The idea is to keep
your 'board' as clear as possible of beans. Just to add a bit of spice the
computer randomly throws in some grey beans to messs you up.
Meanwhile your opponent (or the computer) is busy doing the same on its own
board, the one who lasts longest is the winner. There is quite a bit more to
it than that, but I will let you discover that for yourselves.
This games is very slick, written in super-fast Machine Code and is very
configurable. For example it supports 1-8 players, tournament mode,
demonstration mode,pratice mode, 3 difficulty levels, Pal/NTSC systems,
acceleration, speed, height adjusters etc. etc.
A possible F1 classic! Highly recommended.
@6Demo version available, see 'Freebies' file.

Paul Nordovics

£4.99 (2 disks) Requires WB2 and at least 2 meg of memory.
---------------@5
Q:Whiz! - Creator@3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here we have a very simple, no frills quiz creating utility.
Unlike other creator utilities which incorporate features
for designing quiz systems, Q:Whiz! - Creator is written
purely for the creation of quiz games. Everything regarding
the quiz interface is already set up so there's no messing
about creating text boxes, buttons, scripts etc. All you
have to do is come up with the questions and choices which
are then simply entered into the Creator and saved to the
Player disk provided. And that's it!
The Player disk is a stand-alone disk used to distribute
your quizzes. The Player disk containing your quiz files
can be released as PD / Shareware or you could even sell the
disk yourself and make some money in the process! Fame and
fortune are just around the corner*.
No programming knowledge is required to use the creator,
though to get the maximum benefit from it, you will need a
basic understanding of your Amiga - not essential though.
Facilities have been made to enable you to customize the
quiz game to give it a unique look. You can insert your own
company logo screen and include details of your game on the
"ABOUT" screen included. Screens have been stored in IFF
format enabling you to load them into a suitable paint
program for editing. Change the game screen, game name
logo, timers, buttons etc. You can even have the quiz game
laid out over the top of an IFF screen if you want.
3 different game screens have been included which can be
used as they are or form the basis of your own design.
There's also a screen of "game bits" - timers, buttons etc
to help you out.
Game music and sound fx can also be changed.
Full instructions have been provided on how to use the
creator and how to get a disk ready for distribution -
there's even a section giving information about Public
Domain/Shareware etc.
@5Q:Whiz! - Player@3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Used to distribute your quizzes. This is an improved
version of Q:Whiz! previously sold for 6.99 and reviewed in
CU Amiga. Incorporates ideas given from player feedback,
faster routines and bug fixes. This version has NOT been
previously released. Includes the following quiz files:
FILMS&TV
FormulaOne
MIX&PIC
MIX&PIC2
MIXEDBAG2
Red Dwarf (Easy)
Star Wars (Easy)
The X-Files (Season One)
Also contains a basic text file giving instructions on how
to play the game which can be distributed with your quiz
files without needing any modifications.

Arcade Darts is for anyone who occasionally fancies a game of darts but
can't find either a dartboard or someone to play with ! With a selection
of different games to play, a range of computer opponents and sampled
speech too, it could turn you into a darts master without the need to

@6J-WINDOWS
John Housley
F1-138
£4.99 (2 disks)
Workbench 2.1 or higher (NOT A2000/WB2.05), Amos Pro and Compiler required.
-------------------------------------------------------------------@5
J-Windows is a huge, previously unreleasd Amos extension designed to
let you easily get at many of the interesting and useful parts of the
operating system. The speed of the executables is the fastest seen yet
from an Intuition extension and J-Windows supports just about every
part of intuition, including ListView, which is pretty impressive.@4
In English, this means WINDOWS, AGA graphics(WB3),proper WORKBENCH support.
@1J-Windows contains about two hundred new commands and is a 'PROPER'
extension, not a set of procedures, though this is arguable since it can
use procedures that you can create through GadstoolBox, not supplied.
Full control of Workbench Windows. We're not talking Workbench look-
a-like windows on AMOS screens, we're talking full, proper, multi-tasking,
good-looking Intuition Windows and running as FAST as a normal Wb prog.@3
Full control of Workbench screens, including AGA, HAM-8 all the other
interesting varieties of screens you can't use on AMOS.
This includes support for text (better than AMOS), drawing and changing
palettes. Proper gadgets to put in your windows. These are drawn and handled
by Intuition and the extension - you just say where and when. By the way,
these are MUCH easier to use than Interface gadgets.@6
Full support for menus. This includes checkable items, mutual exclude and
hotkeys. Supports the GadToolsBox program, which makes the design of
complex user interfaces quick and easy. Using this, you can create a fully
working set of screens and windows with nice gadgets, all working, without
typing a line of code! Because coding in AMOS is so fast anyway, you will
be able to write your program quicker than in almost any other language.
How quick? The entire examples set for this extension was written in 3
afternoons. Beat that! @1You can use the proper system file, font and screen
requesters. In about 3 lines of code.
@5Replacement of the AMOS file handling system with a totally new one.
This is faster (3-20 times faster...), and vastly more logical and efficient.
A new font handling system, to replace AMOS's bloody awful one.
Various assorted bug fixes for AMOS, including the equates system
(which now works), and the Merge Ascii menu item which exhibited possibly
the strangest bug I've EVER seen...@4Commands allowing you to use exec lists.
Useful little utilities, such as one that generates code letting you easily
use procs from the system libraries (sort of an extension creator).
@3HUGE manual in AmigaGuide form, including 13 tutorials covering almost
every aspect of the extension. Examples of programs, most of which actually
LOOK GOOD and DO USEFUL things....Obviously lots more...

F1-136
£4.99 (2 disks)
---------------@3
Any Amiga. (You will need the Blitz Basic programming language to make any
sense of this guide of course, Covers commands, including PD extensions, up
to V2.0)
The guide to Blitz is a truley MASSIVE tome spanning over 400 A4 pages of
text and covers virtually every subject you are ever likely to need to

@2Pitch 'N' Putt
Paul Phelps
F1-135
£7.99 (5 disks)
Any 1meg+ Amiga.
-----------------@4
F1's first golf game, PnP was chosen because of its sheer playabilty.
It is very easy to get in to, you don't even need to read the instructions,
though an in depth on-disk manual is run if you boot up disk 2.
Pnp's graphics are not top quality but they are good enough, you hardly
notice anyway as you get sucked right into this game from the start.
Disks 3,4 and 5 contain extra courses which will guaruntee longevity.
There is not more much to say about a golf game really, err, get the ball
in the hole in as least shots as possible to beat your opponents.

@2Boris Ball
Ben Wyatt
F1-133
£3.99 (1 disk)
Any 1meg+ Amiga.
---------------@6
This isn't just another 'Bat 'n Ball' game, it has been written in
direct competetion to the Shareware hit MegaBall. The author was tired
of Megaball's bad points (he lists them in the doc file of the game)
and decided to correct themand Boris is the result. I found it to be an
exceptional game in all areas, and I don't mind telling you that each time I
loaded it to have a 'quick' test I ended up playing it for hours.
Boris beats Megaball and slaughters the commercial (and old) Arkanoid game.
If you enjoy this type of game you won't find much better anywhere.
*Load Workbench first to run this game. HD installable.

@5Guitar Fret Master Pro
Bob Stanley
F1-132
£3.99 (1 disk)
Any 1meg+ Amiga.
----------------------------------@4
(Written by the author)
GFMaster is a Guitar Scales Tutor, which displays the scale
shape along the neck and Tablature below. It contains 141
scales/runs and is aimed at anyone with a guitar, and if used
along with GCDirPro (F1-069) makes an ideal package if you
are just starting to play.
Andre Digard who used to review Pd and L/ware programs for CU
Amiga first suggested that I write a program of this type,
but with Fast Fret by Keith Clatworthy already available I
saw no point. So when I brought Mike, my 6yr old son his
first guitar I also purchased Fast Fret to help him. While I
found it an interesting program my son soon began to get
irritated with it. At first I put it down to his age and
inexperience until Kev saw the program and found he had some
of the same problems as Mike, so with the help of my son and
Kev GFMaster was born.
Also on the disk you will find: The Guitar, which is a brief
history on the guitar, different string types, tuning etc.
At the present it's not quite as complete as I would like,
but I will complete it on day.
Plus also, a colection of 120 arpeggio's in both text and M2T
format. I've included my original M2T files for those of you
who have a copy of M2T (F1 disk: F1-071) so you can alter the
fret positions, i.e. re-tab from the 4th gives a collection
of stretch arpeggio's.

£3.99 (1 disk)
Requires: A1200/A4000
----------------------@1
This game is outstanding, from the author of the top selling Magic Paint
Box. The graphics, as you would expect are superb, well they would be since
Mal is a commercial artist. The game itself is great too, it is a sort of
Lemmings/Troddlers/Vikings clone. This arcade/platform/puzzler has great
sound effects and music and tests the old grey matter somewhat.
TW was originally sold by the author for £6 but you can get it now at a
bargain £3.99. What are you waiting for? Highly recommended.
Hard drive installable.

F1-130
£3.99 (1 disk)
Requires: 1meg+ WB2+.
--------------------@5
This is a really good and original arcade puzzler & just my luck quite
awkward to describe, but here goes anyway. Each level starts with a free
rolling ball that you need to guide around a maze type screen by
manipulating gates and running the ball into power-ups, fairly standard
stuff so far, but you can also add your own 'gates' with a click of the
mouse in any position and then swith the gates to manipulate the path of the
ball in various directions. It all sounds really complicated but it isn't,
it is a really simple game to get into and really enjoyable and addictive.
The graphics are very nice and to top it all you even get the level designer
chucked in so you can contine where the programmer left off and create as
many new levels as you want, the game comes with 20 levels. The designer
is a doddle to use by the way and no programming is involved, just mouse
clicks. Highly recommended.

A very nice and easy to use UK Lottery number database. Already contained
in the database are all the number up to week 66 (Feb 17th 96) It is
very easy to input new numbers as the weeks progress and the program can
tell you about the current hottest & coldest numbers and a unique 'Mix'
option of a prediction based on both. A very simple program that anyone can
maintain as a record of the lottery.

@6TELL THE TIME
Mike Austin
F1-127
£3.99 (1 disk)
Educational (5-9 years approx) Requires: Any 1 meg+ Amiga.
------------------------------@3
TELL THE TIME is based purely on helping Children to learn to tell the time
and consists of five levels.
Rather than follow the normal trend where certain levels have to be completed
before moving on, this program allows the `User' to decide which level
he/she wants to do and for how long. By pressing the ESC(ape) key at certain
times during a level, you will be returned to the Level Screen.
The five levels contain sub-games of a platform game, shoot-em-up, breakout
and a great 'watch the train' animation. All these treats need to be earned
though, by correctly telling the time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
@5A TOUR THROUGH TIME V1.12
Mike Austin
F1-126
5.99 (3 disks)
Educational (8 years+ approx) Requires: any 1 meg+ Amiga
-------------------------------------------@4
The purpose of this program is to give a brief coherent account of
history from the moment of the creation of the Universe to the present
day. The whole program is represented graphically by an imaginary
"road" that is exactly one mile long. This mile represents the 15
billion years of evolution since the creation of the Universe.
The road itself is used as the MAIN MENU and is divided into three
separate sections. Each of the three main sections are further divided
into 5 sub-sections. Thus the whole program is contained in 15
sub-sections with each sub-section following logically onwards from
the previous one. There are on average three to four pages of text
in each of the fifteen sub-sections and the total number of graphics is
over 100. The graphics themselves contain textual information which
serves to expand on the main text or a chosen subject.
The text itself is kept as non-technical as possible although
sufficiently detailed to explain some difficult concepts. The most up
to date and generally accepted information has been utilized. Many
areas are still controversial, for example lunar and planetary
formation and Man's evolution. Where more than one theory exists we
have tried to include it. The program is designed to give the user an
overall account of the world and universe of which we are all a part.
Anybody that reads the information contained within the program will
come away with a fair grasp of the formation of the Earth and the
evolution of life and mankind. We feel that this program is unique both
in it's scope and content.@4
The topics covered in the first section particularly are frequently
neglected, i.e.- The formation of galaxies, stars and planets. This is
partly due to the difficult concepts involved and partly due to the
fact that much of the relevant information has only recently been
acquired by satellites and giant telescopes. We felt it was essential
to devote adequate space to these fascinating topics.

------------------------@6
Regular F1 customers will know by now that my favourite F1 game of all time
(so far anyway) is RELICS 1. After a long wait the authors of Relics released
Return To Zantis (F1-111) this was a 'link sequel' to keep Relics fans happy
while they waited over 18 months for Relics II.
Well, wait no longer it is here, it is BIG, and it is BETTER than Relics 1.
A brief outline of the story so far:
After rescuing the king from the kidnappers and slaughtering them (Relics1)
You (Falcon) was appointed the task of clearing the town Zantis of a bunch of
psycho crims. On return to Deldroneye you find you have once again been
betrayed and have been left cruising in space alone on your ship, that is
until you discover two Alien craft in the normally deserted quadrant.

upgrade disk in some PD libraries like Seasoft Computing.
There are lots and lots more other little things as well.

Disk No. F1-120
Development Requires: Any 1meg Amiga + Amos/Amos Pro
--------------------------@4
Straight from the USA, this wicked Intuition extension for Amos has been
a well kept secret from the Amos world for quite a while now.
Unless you are a regular to the Aminet (Dev/Amos) or on the Internet Amos
Mailing list, I doubt very much if you have even heard of this great
extension. In some ways it is similar to Intos, that is in its ease of use,
on the other hand Intos is very slow compared to this and the IE is a REAL
extension and NOT just a set of procedures. So, if you want professional
loooking Workbench style programs in Amos this is the one to get.
This program would cost you $15 to register for the full version and the
hassle and long wait of sending off to Andy in America.

required setup: An Amiga with at least 1Mb. Users with only 1Mb may miss
out on some of the animation and music.
recommended Second drive or (preferably) hard drive, 2Mb ram, 020
but not essential: processor or better.
Epsilon 9 is the sequal to the PD hit Starbase 13. Don't worry though
the graphics are excellent this time and the game is even more challenging.
Epsilon 9 is a Monkey Island style adventure game (my favourite type!)
and is absolutley superb, it could even given Relics Of Deldroneye a run for
its money! Eps' was created with GR.A.C V2 by GR.A.C's author, Edmund Clay.
I can't give you the story line as finding out is a part of the game.
All I can say is that you are called to Starbase 13 after completing your
previous mission sucessfully and are given instructions for a new,
more deadly task.
The solution to Epsilon 9 can be found in the 'soultions' drawer on this
disk.

---------------Amiga A1200/A4000 only@3
Willys Weirdy Nightmare is based on the classic Spectrum platform game
'Jet Set Willy'. This version, however, is greatly enhanced.
Some of the features you can expect are :-
* Approximately 500k worth of 64 colour graphics
* Loads of puzzles, hidden rooms etc.
* Save and load feature
* Good, solid gameplay (unlike some games nowadays !)
* Well over 150 levels !
* Loads in one go - no loading levels from disk
* A lot faster than the original
If you enjoyed the old style platformers you will defiently love this
one, the music is exceptional by the way and greatly adds to the
early 1980's atmosphere, excellent.

Opps! Remember me going on about an "inferior BlackDawn game"?
Well that was BD 5 by Shaun Watters, but he has knocked me for six with err,
BD 6 would you believe! Seriously, I owe Shaun an apology for the bad
treatment I gave him over BD5. Sorry mate!
So now is YOUR chance to play what has been described as the best BD game
ever. It certainly looks good and plays great. If you don't know what a Black
Dawn game is like yet (where have you been living, in a cave?) it's a kinda
Dungeon Master clone, you rove around a 3D tunnel type maze thingy, kicking
butt and running away a lot.
HELLBOUND contains much more than any other of BlackDawn games before it.
HELLBOUND is the first Black Dawn game to contain multilayered
levels so keep an eye out for lifts and holes to other levels.
HELLBOUND is the first Black Dawn game to be able to load and
save games at any time when playing. So if you think there is trouble
ahead SAVE IT FIRST!!!!!
So, if you enjoyed our Legions Of Dawn extravaganza (and who didn't?) you
will love this one.

John Kinsella
£3.99 (1 disk)

---------------@6REQUIRES AMOS OR AMOS PRO (NOT EASY AMOS)
Another treat for Amos users. These procedures were designed and written to
allow the user to incorporate a fully working button interface in their
AMOS programs. The main advantage about using these procedures is that you
do not need to install a separate extension, and also you do not need to
address the Workbench Intuition System, so that makes it a lot easier to
create fully working screens with simple command procedures. As an added
bonus the system works a LOT faster than operating intuition from Amos
using an extension. All the bits that you would expect are included like
windows, 3D boxes. file requester etc.
*Amoszine issue 8 (F1-106) carried an earlier version of Dialog Procs V3,
that was Shareware (£5) This is a bug fixed version with a lot more features
and no Shareware fee is required.

AGA AMIGA REQUIRED (A1200,A4000) + Amos Classic or Amos Professional.
YES, this IS the same extension that saw a massive advertising campaign
by Amiganuts PD. Amiganuts are now no-longer and F1 are proud to have been
asked to distribute the first ever AGA extension for Amos/Pro.
As you can see, we have dropped the price from Amiganuts' £10 to just £3.99,
now everyone REALLY CAN afford this latest breakthrough in the development
of the amazing Amos programming language.
NOTE: F1 its distributers or M.Prince do not wish to mislead anyone, this
program is far from completion, there is as yet no support for bobs
and sprites, however there are 22 commands (listed below) and more in
development. New commands for this extension will depend on how it is
supported.
The commands currently supported by the AGA extension:
AGA Screen Open
AGA Screen Close
AGA Screen
AGA Front Screen
AGA Load Bitplanes
AGA Screen Copy
AGA Draw Mode
AGA Cls
AGA Ink
AGA Colour
@5 AGA Box
AGA Bar
AGA Text
AGA Use Font
AGA Get Block

---------------@4Amiga A1200/A4000 only
This is NOT Relics Of Deldroneye 2, it is what the author calls a
"Link-Sequel". In his words, it is to keep quite all the people screaming at
him and us to get Relics 2 done. As R2 is taking a lot longer than
anticipated Lee has decided to release this new Relics mini adventure to
keep all you hungry fans busy until R2 is ready. Players of the original
Relics will feel right at home with Return To Zantis, Zantis is the main
town in Relics remember. I won't go into the plot and spoil it for you but
it is all excellent stuff and Relics fans will NOT feel cheated, Zantis has
lots of brand new locations and takes many hours to complete.
Zantis is a superb addition to the Relics range and is in my book the 2nd
best adventure game I have ever played after the original Relics.
A must have. Completely recommended. (See Relics F1-018 for more info)

Let me explain the strange Disk no. The F1 CD has two titles missing, 25 and
41, the authors refusesd permission. Codename Nano is a replacement for
Disk 41 on the CD, but F1-041 is still occupied by the original disk on this
list , so I have named this 41A.
Nano is a thrust style game with georgous graphics and a perfect difficulty
level. This is the full version that was, until recently being sold for £5
a copy. Mal is the author of F1 Gold title "Magic Paint Box", if you have
seen the graphics in that you will know the very high quality to expect in
this game and you won't be disappointed. Fly your "Thruster" around rescuing
the hostages (who wave their arms at you frantically, al'a Desert Strike)
and get them to home base to complete the level. Brilliant!

This is a really nice looking 1 or 2 player arcade puzzler. The main
objective of the game is to simply clear each level of nasties by "pushing"
blocks onto them, no quite as easy as it sounds as they appear to be fairly
intelligent nasties! . You start the game with limited "pushing power" and
have to build this up by collecting "pills" that are hidden in blocks that
you crush on your crusade. Other items you may find in crushed blocks are
Extra lives/speed up/immune and a mystery power up. Quite hard, addictive
and fun with very nice graphics.

Here is one for Beat-Em-Up fans. Martial Morphers is a bit different
compared to your usual Beat-Em-Up type game, here you control TWO fighters at
the same time, which requires a fair amount of strategic violence in the
right place at the right time. The sprites are IK+ style but again with a
difference, as you kick or punch you get some morphing thrown in for fun.
I must confess I am not a Beat-Em-Up addict but I enjoyed a few rounds of
this game. The presentation is nothing short of superb by the way.

Tele SubTitle (TS) is a Video SubTitler meant for people, who just
have a basic video set up - I.e. A Camcorder, A GenLock, An Amiga of course
and that's about it - and just want to SubTitle friends video films, etc
with as much ease as possible.
TS is very easy to use. You simply pick your subtitles from a main menu until
you have built up a Sequence and then you press the Test/Play icon, which
will send you to the `Total Control' part of the program. From there you
simply use a set of sequence keys to display your subtitles, etc. It's as
easy as that! Here are its main features....
* TS uses Bobs (Graphic Images) instead of Fonts, thus, allowing you to use
Cut `N' Paste type Fonts/Graphics, with upto 64 Colours, in your sequence.
* TS can have upto 240 SubTitles (or 480 Lines) in a sequence.
* TS can display upto 8 BackGround Bobs, upto 13 Numbers/Bobs, a small AMOS
Animation and a SubTitle on the screen at the same time.
8 BackGround Bobs - Good for Logos, BackGround Graphics, etc. They can be
turned Off/On.
13 Numbers/Bobs - Good for FootBall/Snooker Scores, Phone Numbers for
Quizes, Video Diaries to be shown abroad, etc. They
can be Increased/Decreased (for scores/results, etc),
@4 Switched Off/On, etc.
Animation - Good for Small Logos, etc. It can be Switched Off/On,
Paused/UnPaused, etc.
* TS can display a Timer with all the above on the screen, except for the
subtitle. A subtitle can be displayed, but you have to wait for the timer
to finish!
There are 3 Timers, which can be Paused, UnPaused, Reset, Cleared from
the screen and Reversed from counting up-to-down or down-to-up. The 3
timers are (with ranges) - 00:00 to 99:99 0:00 to 9:99 00 to 99.
* TS can display the above (including the Timer condition) over a Picture.
* TS has Bob Image Assignment, which allows you to assign any one of the
125 Bobs, stored in the bob bank, to your Number bob, Animation Bob, etc.
So many advantages to using this. The best of them being that you could
set up more than one production's bob (graphic) images and just toggle
(assign) between the images.
* Resolutions supported:@4 Low - 320 x 256
High - 640 x 256

The long awaited sequel to F1's most succesful title title ever is here at

This new version comes on four disks packed to the brim with info that
covers virtually every aspect of Workbench 2 and 3. There are now many more
diagrams (taking up a whole disk in fact) A complete Amigados guide and
reams and reams of text, featuring hints and tips and in depth information on
general usage of the Workbench. What made the original Int Wb so popular with
the press and public was it's unique way of loading a simulation of
Workbench and when you attempt to run a Workbench program it displays all
the information relevent to that program, rather than running the program
itself. This makes it a lot easier to remember what does what.
C.U.Amiga said "This should be bundled with all new Amiga's"
Int Wb V1 was also rated the THIRD BEST Educational title of 94/95 by AS.
It was also rated 90% by Amiga User International, and 90% C.U.Amiga
