- Reccomended Programs
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- ý
- Why, it has been such a long time since I last wrote one of these
- files, I can hardly remember which programs I mentioned last time. Ah
- well, I shall just go through them all and point out some of the good
- ones from the PROGRAM LIST file.
-
- û
- If you are still working on your programs using Classic AMOS, then
- maybe it is time you upgraded. Mushroom Disk 17 contains the Coverdisk
- version of AMOSPro, which is a heck of a lot better than the Classic
- AMOS program. It will run all AMOSPro commands, and is supplied with
- the accessories disk so that you can start producing masterpieces
- right away.

- Love to laugh at crap productions? Try loading FLEEGLE, featured
- on disk 45. A complete waste of bytes on the disk !!
-
- ù
- Adventure games seem to be the in-thing, with Relics of Deldroneye
- 2 coming out. The library has a few of these kind of games, including
- a demo of the first RELICS OF DELDRONEYE, Disk 18 (2Mb), and LETHAL
- ÿ
- ù
- FORMULA, Disk 57 (1Mb), and STARBASE 13, Disk 19 (2 Disks). All play
- relatively the same, as they were all written using the GRAC program,
- available from F1 Licencesware. Each puzzle is packed to the brim with
- stunning graphics and puzzles, which are sure to keep you going for a
- hell of a long time.
-
- û
- If you saw the demo of TWINZ on the last issue, then maybe you
- would like to know that I have changed the program, in fact, I have
- totally re-written it ! Having lost the old source code whilst
- Re-Org'ing my WB partition, I never got the chance to work on the
- registered version, so I have started all over again, and added lot's
- of new features, including more levels, and tiles per level, rotating
- vectors, boards which change size with the difficulty level, plus a
- heck of a lot more. If you would like to get your hands on the latest
- demo version, then order disk 47.
-
- ù
- SQUIDGER is the excellent graphics compaction routine that has
- been used in EA. It was written by Paul Burkey, and a simplified
- version is available on disk 58. On it, comes the squidger executable,
- along with several smaller programs, which allow you to view and save
- ÿ
- ù
- original SQG files. Also supplied, is the AMOS source code for
- unpacking the squidged pictures into your own programs. You also get
- several pre-packed SQG files to play around with.
-
- û
- If you would like to entertain your friends with a bit of sick
- humour, or would like to pose some really foul-mouthed questions to
- the most shy of babes, then disk 32 is the one for you. On it, is a
- program named PURITY TESTER. In it, are sections packed with some
- really sick questions, to work out how pure you are. They start off
- simple enough, but believe me, they get worst as they go along! 18's
- only i'm afraid !!
-
- ù
- How about a bit of a good earbanging session with some excellent
- music soundtracks eh? One demo which I highly recomend is the Prodigy
- - No Good Start The Dance (Mushroom disk 62) which has it's graphics
- demo written in AMOS. An excellent 600K soundtrack, with superb
- sampling, and of course, you will need at least one megabyte to have
- the pleasure of viewing it.
-
-

- ý
- Well, that's about all I can instantly see that is willing to
- appeal to anybody. If you want to get in touch with me about the
- magazine, or about Mushroom PD disks, then you know where the address
- is !!
