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
know about. This superb reference is an invaluable aid to beginners and
will serve as a great reference work for experts. Guide To Blitz comes on
two disks, disk two is choc full of remmed example programs that are
covered in the main guide to save you any typing.
If you are tired of the miniscule manual supplied with Blitz and need to
know what the commands REALLY do then now's your chance.

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.
Demo version available see 'Freebies' file.

Malcolm Lavery

£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.
Demo version available, see 'Freebies' file.

Mark Seymour
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.

£4.99 (2 disks)
Requires: 1meg+ WB2+.
--------------------@3
This is a war strategy game where you must build up your land/army/supplies
etc. and create a stable environment whilst destroying your enemy.
There are loads of icons to click on that select things like tax level/
workers/ build castle etc. Initally it seems quite complicated but the
on-disk AmigaGuide instructions help you along nicely.

--------------------@2
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.

£5.99 (3 disks)
Disk No. F1-125
Games Requires: Any 1 meg+ Amiga.
------------------------------@4
Three good strategy games here offering great value at only £2 each.
Disk 1: It's Only Rock 'N Roll
One of the winners of the recent Amiga Format Amos Pro competition.
You have just formed your own rock band. Your ambition is to be the most
succesful rock star ever.
To achieve your ambition you must be a millionare, have at least one No. 1
single and have three status symbols.
Disk 2: British Football
British Football is all about scoring goals. no tactics, no management,
no finances, just goals.@4
The idea is simple, score as many goals as you can.
You may get one chance at goal, you may EVEN get five, but when your chance
comes you must take it. after all, if you don`t SCORE, you don`t win.
Arcade strategy.
Disk 3: Space Warriors
This is a kind of Mini 'elite' space trading game.
The year is 2180 AD. The human race has conquered space and spread through
the galaxy. Through-out history man has always fought, and this era is no
different. Battles constantly rage on in the skies.
There are hundreds of men desperate to prove they are the best
fighters and traders in the galaxy, and earn the ultimate title
of space WARRIOR. only the best can survive the never-ending
battles of crazed killers.

@5RELICS OF DELDRONEYE II
Chris & Lee Bamber
£7.99 (5 Disks)
Disk No. F1-124
Game Requires: 2 meg chip ram, i.e. A1200/A4000)
------------------------@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.
You decide to investigate.......
If you want to know more about this graphic adventure take a look at F1-018
and F1-111. Highly recommended for any adventurer with 2 meg of chip ram+.
*The solution to Relics 1/Zantis and Relics II can be found in the
'solutions' drawer on this disk.

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

recommended Second drive or (preferably) hard drive, 2Mb ram, 020

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.

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.

Disk No. F1-114
---------------@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.

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.

@3RETURN TO ZANTIS
Lee Bamber
£3.99
Disk No. F1-111
---------------@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)

@6FALLING DOWN
Paul Huckstepp
£3.99
Disk No. F1-110
---------------@1Any 1meg+ Amiga
Falling Down is one of the thirteen "winners" of the recent Amiga Format Amos
competion. FD is a very laid back puzzle game and quite original.
The idea is a very simple one, let the blue fluffy creatures fall down
but save the red one's, this is done by manipulation of floors. Not much
more to say about it really. Not for speed freaks, but for the slippers
and pipe brigade with a liberal sprinkling of Einstein.

@3CODENAME NANO
Malcolm Lavery
£3.99
Disk No.F1-041A
---------------@2
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!
HARD DRIVE INSTALLABLE. REQUIRES 2 Meg Chip. * IE. A1200/A4000 *

@6PUSH AND PULL
Amonn Phillip
£3.99
Disk No.F1-108
--------------@2A1200/A4000 ONLY
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.

@1GREENIES
J.Habgood
£3.99
Disk No.F1-107
--------------@4Any 1meg+ Amiga
Written by the author:
GREENIES is a first person perspective 3D maze-romp type-of-affair for up
to three players. You can either play a knight in a series of quests against
the GREENIES, or have a multi-player fight to the death as the green guys
themselves. The action takes place in a bizarre arcane maze arena filled
with modern-day weapons of destruction and the odd magic potion.
You simply wander around the maze trying to ensure your opponents have a
very bad day. This game is a humourous versionof Dungeon Master and has the
added bonus of being able to play aginst one two human players
simultaneously or any combination of computer or human players.

@2DYNAMATE
Bjorn Kalzen/Jonas Noberg
£3.99
Disk No. F1-105
---------------@5 Any 1 meg+ Amiga
This is the second game from Sweden, a 99 level arcade puzzle game.
When you start the game a black "cursor" and a couple of pieces will
appear. Some of the pieces are movable and some are not.
To move a piece, place the cursor over the piece, press the fire button
and keep it pressed then pull the joystick in the direction you want the
piece to go.
The game is divided in many different puzzles. To complete a puzzle you
must explode all bombs by sending the right pieces on each other.
There are many different types of blocks that react in different ways.
Dynamate is similar to a game called Paradox by Andrew Campbell, if you have
played that then you will know how addictive this type of game is.

@2MARTIAL MORPHERS
Lee Bamber
£3.99
Disk No. F1-104
---------------@3Amiga A1200/A4000 ONLY
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.
From the author of Relics Of Deldroneye/Fortress/Obliteratives and Aquakon.

@5TELE-SUBTITLE V3
John White
£3.99
Disk No. F1-103
---------------@4 Any 1 meg+ Amiga
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
Low Interlaced - 320 x 512
High Interlaced - 640 x 512
Low Overscan - 368 x 290
High Overscan - 736 x 290
Low Overscan Interlaced - 368 x 580
High Overscan Interlaced - 736 x 580

@6AURIGA
M&M Galfalk
£4.99
Disk No. F1-102
---------------@2 Any 1 meg+ Amiga
This is the first of an up and coming batch of top quality titles we have
been asked to distribute from Sweden. Don't worry, all the text is in
English. Auriga (Pronounced "oregar" I think) reminds me of the game
Strider. You control a guy with a zapper and battle your way across five
worlds of three levels each, picking up extra weapons and equipment and
generally having a blasting good time zapping aliens of all shapes and
forms. This is a right to left scroller with excellent graphics and
presentation, Password option so you only have to complete a level once and
lots of power ups like ,arrow shot, wave shot, bomb, tripple shot, shields,
Jet sled, Anti gravity, extra lives etc. The gameplay is a bit tough in
places and should be a fair challange to you hardened shoot-em-up fans.
Comes with printed instruction sheet.

@5Introducing Workbench V2.0
K.Winspear
£6.99
Disk No. F1-101
---------------@3 ***REQUIRES A WORKBENCH 2 OR 3 AMIGA, i.e. NOT A500***
The long awaited sequel to F1's most succesful title title ever is here at
last, again exclusively to the F1 Licenceware scheme.
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
Star Performer (Best of the month) by Amiga Pro.
* * * * V2 RATED AN AMAZING 95% BY C.U AMIGA SEPT 1995 * * * *
Tony Horgan said in the review:
"I am very impressed in the sheer quality of this title"
"This tutorial is essential for beginners and intermediate users."
"Fantastic on-line-help" "Easy to find your way around"
"I was Thoroughly chuffed"
"The original was an excellent product, V2 has improved on it."
