Current TBA products

Game: FTT aka 'Formula Two Thousand'

A fast action 3D racing game with a difference. It's in space in a zero G environment and you race on the outside of a tube. Up to ten cars at once etc. Works in 1 meg on RiscOS 2 upwards. Lots of reviews in the Acorn press. Average percentage 85%. Also a demo on Archimedes World (I think!). Price 24.95 GBP.

Game: Axis

You must know what this is by now! You stay still and the whole (bit-mapped) world rotates about you. The aim is simply to destroy the major enemy gun installations.

Game: Cyber Ape

Side-on platformer where your ape must collect the bananas!

Games coming soon

The prices are not yet fixed but will vary between 14.99 and 24.99

Game: ARL

Another fast action 3D futuristic Starwing(ish) type shoot and fly game. Available soon...

Game: Warp riders

A lot like the original Star Wars arcade game. You know - the vector one!

Game: Axis 2 (Yeahh!)

Axis 2, a super fast 3D action game using TAG2, the next version of our custom 3D game development environment. Includes extra texture mapping and multiprocessor support for the RiscPC. Will appear soon in demo form at an Acorn show with a VR headset! Its roughly the same as Axis 1 but in 3D, so that means the scenery is all 3D, the tanks are in 3D and the sound is in 3D, using the latest in surround sound technology.

Utility:

Holograph and TAG!
A game toolkit used by TBA for creating our 3D games! Includes an editor/ compiler for all you want! Using this the time taken to compile FTT or ARL from scratch is around 1 min! This system is available by signing up for TBA consortium; see the Acorn press for details or write to TBA asking about game development opportunites with `consortium'.
