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!

Running demo of the forthcoming Horrorsoft game featuring Miss Elvira and her "assets" (ehem). This game is going to be a sort of Adventure/RPG type game where the aim is to rescue Said temptress from her capturers, the graphics look extremely impressive and in parts are quite gruesome (so don't watch if you are squeemish!) also has some sampled atmnospheric spot effects and a tadge of Sampled speech from Elvira herself, though it sounds as though she is doing her Shy Postman impression and none of us can actually make out what she says... This is a very good demo and fans of this type of game should be well impressed. Disk 595: THE STAR TREK GAME! Brilliant 2 disk game from the ultimate trekkie Thobias Richter, designer of all the AGATRON Start Trek animations, and part of the team that brought us Oil Imperium, Thobias has now released his latest game into the Public Domain. Featuring Brilliant (as you'd expect) graphics and sampled sound this has you on a journey where no man has ventured before, a journey into space (The final frontier etc etc) where you must carry out a series of missions, search out various planets, avoid the enemies ships, Captain your ship and ensure the safe keeping of your staff. The whole thing is very well put together, but the instructions are in German so it may take a while for you to sort things out. Works fine in half-meg, but one meg owners get added extra sound effects. Disk 597: Seriously Good Music Disk 1, An excellent YELLO remix by 17 Bit member Bill Turner, featuring loads of clear samples this is extremely well put together using the MusicEDitor utility.

Shows moving, animated sprites and bobs. Brilliant scrolling routines (Amazing IFF piccy scrolling!) And all from BASIC! Should set the Amiga world alight when it is released. Heres a great chance to whet your appetite! Anyone with any level of interest in proggramming should check this out! IT'S BRILLIANT!!

Demos come courtesy of Level4 (Megamultiscroller), Rebels, Silents and Setrox. The music includes a rendition of MegaBlast by Bomb The Bass (Y'know the tune that was on Xenon2) a great version of You Spin Me Round (The only SAW song I admit to liking!!) and a brilliant original piece by 4-Mat called In The Shadow Of The Sun. Disk 604: "RubADubDub" X rated disk featuring 5 bouncy, bubbly, voluptious ladies doing things they normally only do in private but this time they did it for a famous Adult Video and were transferred to the Amiga for your enjoyment... The whole thing was grabbed using a Real time frame grabber then animated using Deluxe Paint3. Obviously the subject matter may be offensive to some (especially our female members) so if you're unsure don't buy! Then again if you're into this sort of thing this ones a MUST!!

Disk 607: St Bash!! - Great PD space invaders type shoot-em-up from a 17Bit member in Germany (unfortunately you didn't sign your name on the letter, so whoever you are THANKS!) the aim is to blast your way through 520 levels of St related sprites (spinning ST logos etc), and there are several various levels of play so you can make the game as easy or as difficult as you want. With all the available options and great playability this will keep you amused for quite a while and should keep your kids quiet for an hour or two!! Better than Amoeba Invaders?? Well, I'll let you make the decision........ Disk 608: Brilliant TECHNOTRONIC music disk - from the authors of The Amiga Chart Disks!features 2 sampled remixes by Radio Poland.
