                    -= 1MEG ONLY DISCS =-

Here are all the 1meg discs... so now you know! All work
on 1meg and above and give full features as apposed to 512K counterparts.

Disc   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...

Disc  11: CAT/BARON/WIREFRAME animations. 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).

Disc  29: 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.

Disc  30: 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.

Disc  31: 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...

Disc  81: Newtek Demo. One of the now classic amiga demos
Disc  82: produced by Newtek, producers of Digipaint and
          Digiview as well as DigiFX. This one requires
          2 discs and 1meg of memory. A slideshow/product
          demo/animation all rolled into one. Features
          great music and even better graphics.

Disc  98: Video 3D demo. a product demo of an extremely
          powerful and professional video titler.
          Excellent and ultra smooth effects such as 3D
          rendering and shatter effects..

Disc 147: Demos of Battlechess and Fusion by E.Arts.
          Battlechess is perhaps the best graphical
          version of chess yet with some superb
          animation and sound. (Although there is no
          sound in this demo). Fusion is a game that
          met a fair amount of claim. See what you
          think about this playble demo.
          1meg required for the battlechess demo...
          Both programs available now.

Disc 148: Brilliant 1meg/1meg+ animation of a digitised
          knight. Set to music. One of the best animations
          yet on the Amiga. Superb! Full screen knight
          appears out of a book and waves his sword about!
          Doesnt sound very good I know but the graphics
          are really good!

Disc 149: Moria - The great RPG has been speeded up and
          generally made much more playable. This is
          version III and tweaks include nice inter-level
          graphics. A must for 1meg adventure fans, this
          game is SO playable!! A little bit like Hack and
          Larn but more involved, offers HOURS of gameplay
          for 1meg users...

Disc 208: A rolling demo of Deluxe Photolab, featuring
     209: some excellent graphics and acts as a superb
          tutorial/introduction to the program. Requires
          1meg to run. Similar format to the Dpaint 3
          program which I deem to be a better program
          although theres no HAM mode on Dpaint III.

Disc 220: The amazing Walker Demo! This is the 2 disc
     221: 2megabyte  version (a 1meg version can be found
          on disc 262).This shows an incredibly detailed
          and well animated AT-AT vehicle walking by the
          side of a B2000, looking round and shooting
          complete with sound FX, has to be one of the
          best demos available for the Amiga.
          Created by Bill Williams of Imaginetics.

Disc 236: Bunsen Burner. A videoscape animation created by
          P.Warnes (a member of 17Bit) for us.Nice use of
          Dpaint and Videoscape and is a tongue in cheek
          stab at Interceptor I think... The main animation
          shows an F15 flying through a ravine and having
          a close shave with another. Nicely put together.
          Requires 1megabyte to run.

Disc 240: Excellent Luxor Teenager animation, a sequel to
          the award winning animation on a mainframe.
          It is based on the antics of 2 angle-poise lamps,
          a large one and a mischeavious smaller one who
          is playing with a ball.Produced with Sculpt 4d.
          Very good HAM graphics, very smooth moving.
          Requires 1megabyte to run.

Disc 253: Walker Demo II Trailer. 2meg version.
     254: The excellent intro for Walker Demo II, note
          that although this is a trailer it is a full
          demo! There is a 1meg version also available on
          Disc 255. This demo was on show just about
          everywhere at the last CBM show and depicts an
          AT-AT attacking downtown Chicago.. and a
          helicopter makes a brave stand..
          but does it succeed? Find out in Walker DemoII!!

Disc 255: The 1meg version of the above.. in fact you
          dont really lose a great deal, a few sound
          effects and approx 5-6 seconds of animation
          including the helicopter bit. Still a fantastic
          demo and definatly one for the collectors.

Disc 256: Memory problems caused this disc to fall into
          the 1meg catagory. This is the Raco/Demon
          RoboDemo, featuring graphics by Rico Holmes
          and music by Allister Brimble. Both did this
          work as a way of advertising themselves,
          hopefully it worked as both are busy with projects
          for companies at the moment. If you would like
          to put your own promotional disc together we
          would be only too happy to put it in the
          library and pass it around software
          companies! Music featured: Bad,Smooth Criminal,
          Rendezvous II,Zoolook,Demon1,Demon2,RacoDemon
          Song. You can tell Rico put the disc together
          because they cant spell Wakefield down in
          Oxford...

Disc 262: Walker Demo 1meg versiom. The original version
          where the AT-AT walks by the side of a B2000.
          Great demo and definatly one for your collection
          contrary to rumours there are no plans
          for a 512K version.. sorry!

Disc 305: Yet another one of Tobias`s excellent Animations
          this time of a tank from Tron getting crushed
          by a deactivator (well thats what I think they
          are called!). Good - 1meg only though!

Disc 306: Agatron animation disc containing The Jet demo
          with objects by Allen Hastings and animation by
          Tobias Richter - shows an F15 flying from the
          sky and landing on a runway. This needs
          1megabyte. Also included is an excellent Reliant
          (Star Trek) animation and a Nelson (another Star
          Trek craft) animation. All produced using
          Videoscape by Aegis.

Disc 309: The 1meg Star Trek game featured just about all
     310: over the place. Its on 3 discs and plays close
     311: to the St commercial version ie not brilliant
          but for  Trekkies and sci-fi fans its good value.
          Remember you will need all 3 discs and this will
          set you back 6.95 Live long as prosper.

Disc 323: For those with an ear for music and at least
          1meg here is the Vangelis demo by Nigel Sixsmith,
          complete with some very nice colour cycling
          effects. The music is written on Sonix and is
          very nice. Just one of Nigels music discs and has
          promised to send us more (hint hint Nigel).

Disc 326: Agatron Animation demo disc, created by Tobias
          Richter using Videoscape 3D. This disc is a
          1meg affair and shows a Star Wars X-Wing fighter
          coming into view and spinning around.

Disc 327: Three Agatron animations, again courtesy of
          Tobias Richter,Workbee - shows a small Star-Trek
          craft flying into a reliant craft, this needs
          1meg. Also on the disc are two animations of a
          lotus zooming down a road and a jet flying
          over a road then a lotus zooming past. All
          created using Aegis`s Videoscape package.

Disc 328: Two Agatron animations by Tobias Richter,
          Space - a massive spaceship that comes from
          space with all its bits spinning and rotating
          and then the perspective changes and it
          disapears into space again. Tron2 - A
          deactivator tank from Tron (the movie)
          gets crushed. 1Meg needed.

Disc 329: The widely known Dry-Dock Star-Trek animation
          that has been featured in loads of magazines
          now and was on view at the show. Again its by
          Star Trek fan Tobias Richter and again
          using Videoscape. Of course you do need 1meg
          for it.

Disc 330: More Agatron animations, featuring the Agatron
          logo and an excellent 1meg animation -
          showing tie-fighters and X-wing fighters from
          Star Wars flying through space and lots of them
          too! Surprise, its by Tobias Richter and yes
          it was created on Videoscape 3D.

Disc 331: Another two very nice animations courtesy of
          Tobias Richter and Videoscape 3D. This time of
          a Klingon cruiser flying and firing its way
          through space.(1meg) Also a reliant Star
          Trek craft hovering through space and flying
          away.

Disc 332: More (yes more!) Agatron animations by Tobias
          Richter this time of the space shuttle orbiting,
          3 Klingons and a Knox ship revolving. 1meg
          reccomended for these (as ever).

Disc 333: A massive Star-Wars animation that is so big
          that it needs to be run from CLI (no space for
          commands on the disc), you will need a showanim
          command (on all the Agatron discs) and to read
          the `read.me` on the disc for full instructions,
          if you have 1meg and 2 drives then its really
          quite simple to get the animation going. But at
          the moment it will not auto-run. We did this
          rather than put it out on 2 discs.

Disc 334: Another huge Star-Wars animation that is very
          spectacular and another of Tobias`s Videoscape
          creations. Like 333 you will need to follow the
          on-disc instructions.1meg req.

Disc 354: A product demo of C-Light the Ray-Tracing/3D
          package which came out earlier this year.
          Contains 3 demos, a Star Trek enterprise
          animation, a weird landscape one and a strange
          blind animation. Needs 1meg and apparantley it
          allows you to animate in real-time.(!) 1meg req.

Disc 367: The Adams Family Demo! 1meg needed for this 1
     368: disc demo with a great sample (the theme tune)
          and black & white digitised shots of the whole
          Family. Very nice.

Disc 371: Another Agatron Animation this time created
          with Dpaint III,its a 2D animation showing how
          you could present something using the package.
          Not quite as stunning as Tobias`s 3D Videoscape
          stuff but good none-the-less. Of course its
          about Star-Trek! (Requires 1meg)

Disc 372: Another of Tobias Richters Star Trek creations,
          this features a Reliant and an Enterprise in
          combat. The enterprise moves slowly above and
          behind and shoots the reliant, rocking it...
          Very nicely done, huge 3D graphics, smooth
          action. (1meg!) Also on the disc is a robot
          animation where the robot is walking along.

Disc 373: More Tobias Richter animations created with
          Videoscape, the first is a fairly basic 2D
          animation of 2 Star-Trek craft passing each
          other in space. Also on the disc is a very good
          animation of a craft flying toward a planet..
          the camera angle swings round bringing the
          craft into view - very neatly and cleverly done
          - requires 1meg of course!

Disc 374: Yet more animations from Tobias Richter, this
          time theres not a Star-Trek animation to be seen!
          The first one is  a billiard/pool table an shows
          an animated sequence, again its well done.
          Also are two animations of a road, where a
          lotus and an F-15 fly down (nice). 1meg needed
          for the billiard demo.

Disc 416: The Agatron HUEY Helicopter animation, very nice
          uses Videoscape to create shadows as well.
          1meg required - of course it is by Tobias Richter.

Disc 458: IT CAME FROM THE DESERT! Yes! Its crawled out from
          Cinemaware and is attacking your screens. A great
          product demo for the already famous unreleased
          game - IT Came from the Desert! Based on all the
          classic 50's bug movies get this and find out
          what all the fuss is about. Spectacular sound and
          animation plus of course a superb intro sequence.
          IT should be available soon... 29.95 courtesy of
          Mirrorsoft.

Disc 463: Ghostpool and Amigadrip animations. Two really
          good animations here, the first is a 3d pool
          animation done in HAM and mimics a ghost
          playing pool. The second is a water drip that
          lands in a barrel - very nice ripple effect!
          Needless to say, its 1meg only.

Disc 464: The extremely nice CX-1 animation featuring a
          spaceship flying around a glass ball. Very
          smooth, excellent HAM animation created with
          Sculpt 3D. 1meg only again.

Disc 465: An excellent and very original animation by
          Dr Gandalf(!) featuring a small collection of
          stamps and a magnifying glass. Quite a long
          animation and extremely clever. 1meg only

Disc 474: Hmm! Heres a rather splendid animation for all
          the 1meg owners... it is an animation of 2
          girlies taking a shower.. yes ok thats a bit
          sexist.. sorry! Form an orderly queue here!
          17Bit apologise for the inclusion of this disc.*
          *Well, not really.

Disc 485: Heres a very nice animation "The Education of
          Cool Cougar" by Gene Brawn featuring Bucky
          Rabbit and Cool Cougar - who attempts to catch
          Bucky in this cartoon animation layed onto a
          digitised backdrop. 1meg only! Created with the
          Director scripting program.(once again)

Disc 500: Two as yet unseen (as far as we know!) animations
          produced by a German chap called Michael Klein.
          Includes a fabulous Magician animation and a
          Jogger animation. Both have been created in 4096
          colours with Sculpt Animate 3D. 1meg required.

Disc 513: The Gymnast Animation. (1 meg only)
          Another brilliant Sculpt-Animate 3D animation.
          Features a Gymnast on the bar, spinning away
          before leaping of to a perfect landing. A must
          for any 1 meg owners out there.

Disc 514: Space Ace Demo.
          Readysoft`s follow up to the amazing Dragons Lair
          (remember THE demo 181?) is here and it looks even
          better than the first! Nearly half a minute of top
          notch, near faultless animation from the game.
          PLUS Readysoft have excelled themselves in the
          compression department as they have managed to
          squeeze a whole host of samples in aswell,
          including the unforgetable "I`ve only been
          kidnapped by aliens, thats all!"
          One meg owners get a continous loop of the full
          demo, Half meg owners can choose between the first
          and second parts.

Disc 518:               ** 2 Meg Animation **
Disc 519: These 2 discs require 2 meg (or more) of memory
          and a hard drive is reccomended. The anim is split
          into two parts and must be JOINed together first
          before running. A basic knowledge of CLI is
          needed. (although anyone with 2 megs of memory
          should have more than a basic knowledge!!)
          This is the Mission Anim, a fighter plane flies
          down on a mission to destroy a .... toilet!
          Great animation for all of those lucky enough to
          have the memory.


Disc 520:               ** 2 Meg Animation **
Disc 521: These 2 discs require 2 meg (or more) of memory
          and a hard drive is reccomended. The anim is split
          into two parts and must be JOINed together first
          before running. A basic knowledge of CLI is
          needed. (although anyone with 2 megs of memory
          should have more than a basic knowledge!!)
          This is the Head anim. Watch as the poor fellow
          removes his head and kicks it back into place!!
          Another classic animation, but anyone with less
          than 2 megs can "koff ome!" (Silly Phrase common
          amongst the 17Bit workforce!!!)

Disc 527: MoonWalker Demo. Jacko hits your Amiga! Actually
          this isn`t that bad. A few pieces of animation
          from US Gold`s game of the film of the record
          of the operation of the strange mind. The best bit
          being the grand finale, featuring the infamous
          spin. ** 1 Meg only **

Disk 541: Agatron Animation Disk 22. Another Star Trek anim
          from the ultimate trekkie: Tobias Richter,
          The animation, called Approaching, features the
          main ship spinning and moving out of the screen,
          while the other ships continue their happy life
          of flying around! Another 1 meg only animation
          that continues the high standard of Tobias`
          work.
          Also on the disk is Binary Flight - A scrolling
          wireframe landscape.

Disk 542: Agatron Animation Disk 23. Fleetmaneuver.
          BRILLIANT!!! This One meg Star Trek animation
          features several ships on a "fleet maneuver"
          flying around each other on-screen. Another
          first class anim for all you Trekkies/ animfans/
          onemegowners out there!!

Disk 543: Agatron Animation Disk 24. Kuli. Shock Horror! A
          Tobias Richter anim that doesn`t involve Star
          Trek!! This is an excellent original animation of
          a pen writing TEVOX on the screen, the letters
          then shrink and spin out into the distance.
          Ping-Pong, 2 Star Trek ships fly back and forth
          across the screen.

Disk 556: The Holy Grail, by Jim MacBrayne. The follow up to
          The Golden Fleece (Disk 430). Good text only
          adventure that has you on a quest for..well the
          Holy Grail! Excellent parser and very well
          presented a MUST for all adventure fans every
          where! Please note this game requires ONE MEG!

Disk 559: Cue Fanfare... Anyone remember disks 81 & 82? The
          brilliant NewTek demo, well here we have the
          amazing follow up and it's even BETTER than its
          predecessor! This One meg only 2 disk demo
          features some unbelievable examples of the kind
          of thing you can produce using Newteks range of
          software and Hardware. Theres some great little
          animations with synchronised sampled sounds &
          effects and the first public showing (we think)
          of Newteks DynamicHi-Res standard, a 4096 colour
          piccy in Hi Resolution and its gobsmacking! The
          whole demo takes a while to load and get going
          but once the action starts you'll be glued to
          the screen!

Disk 560: Disk 2 of the Newtek Demo, dont forget you need 1
          meg AND 2 drives to view this stonker of a demo!

Disk 561: Electronic Arts Deluxe Video 3 demo. Features
          some great effects such as wipes, fades, and
          digitised animations! All put together in a
          very proffesional manner! Aswell as being of
          interest to home-video users who may be
          considering buying the final version this also
          serves as a pretty neat example of the Amigas
          capabilities!

Disk 562: Disk 2 of the DeluxeVideo3 demo, requires the
          previous disk, One megabyte (or more) and 2 disk
          drives to run!

Disk 583: The Busy Bee Animation, featured in the library a
          while back but had to be withdrawn 'cause of a
          irrepairable disk error, well thanks to an
          anonymous member we have this brilliant animation
          back in the library, for those of you who haven't
          heard about it, this animation features a Sculpt3D
          designed Bee flying around (super-smoothly) the
          screen, hurridly beating it's wings. An amazing
          animation for all you one meg owners out there.
          Also on the disk is the tree frog anim.

Disk 591: THE RUN! (Agatron Animation disk 25) An ABSOLUTE
          MUST FOR ONE MEG OWNERS!!! This superb animation
          has a "Out Run" style view point and features, in
          FULL 3D, a cop car chasing a red lotus down the
          road, both cars weave in and out of the other
          oncoming cars (which are also animated!) Tobias
          Richter has excelled himself with this one, the
          attention to detail is superb, the flashing
          lights, brake lights, spinning wheels, shadows,
          the lines on the road, EVERYTHING! One of the
          best, original animations we've seen in a long
          time.If only racing games were as good as this..
