*****************************
- BU 1 DAMONOID by Camy Maertens.
The first BUDGIE game. Entirely
written in machine code ( like
most of our productions ).
20 planets, no less,have
to be protected from Damonoid and its
invading fleet. Action is fast.
Time is running out.
Any enemy impact on your
planet causes havoc.
You can sustain 13
direct hits. But, should the Damonoid
itself land, the result
would be fatal!
--------------------------------------
-BU 2 FOOTBALL 88 by Simon Rush.
A complete manager game.
Very addictive
Mouse controlled. Colour only.
This program has won worldwide
acclaim:
Game of The Month
with 17 Bit Software
Game of the Year with
FloppyShop Magazine.
Being entirely Gem based,
this Football Manager is extremely
easy to play and contains many
features that sets it apart from
other offerings,
its multi-user capability being
one of them.
If you are a budding soccer
supremo this game is undoubtedly
for you!
-------------------------------------
- BU 3 BLITZ III by Camy Maertens.
This is a bombing raid with a
different scenario: three aircraft
fly in formation, all under
joystick control.
The aim of the game is to destroy
the city before too much altitude
is lost.
With each bombing pass, the altitude
drops inexorably. On some versions
a rewarding bonus screen appears
after each successful mission.
This is a classic revisited:
it first appeared on the VIC 2O
in 1982. Budgie UK have
added a new twist with multiple
aircraft and variable height control.
'challenging game...' ST Format Feb 89
-------------------------------------
- BU 4 OTHELLO by Jim Holmwood.
This is an immaculate implementation
of the board game of Reversi.
It is entirely mouse controlled and
plays a mean game. You may find it
difficult to beat the computer,
but this will maintain its appeal.
Two versions are on this disk:
one mono and the other colour.
Also on same disk:
TABLIT by Andy Osborne
A scrabble-like game for two or more
players. Points are scored for the
longest possible words.
-------------------------------------
- BU 5 PRO DARTS by Martyn Carr
This is a mouse controlled simulation
5O1 down. All darts addicts
will love this game and the somewhat
hesitant pointer
(too much beer perhaps)
Speech commentary adds to the realism
Written in Fast Basic. One of the few
easy-to-get-on-with darts games for
the Atari ST.
------------------------------------
- BU 6 DR BORIS by Alex Dewdney
a TNT maniac is on the loose,
lighting explosive devices in
a maze of increasingly dangerous
alleys. You have 1O seconds to
defuse the bombs before
the inevitable blast. There are many
obstructions in your path, including
walls and...skulls.
Also on this disk, by the same author,
PUZZLER
a diabolical brain teaser.
If you thought the rubik cube was
tough wait until the PUZZLER
reduces you to a nervous wreck !
-------------------------------------
- BU 7 BALL ZONE by Ian Grainger
An incredible Arkanoid type game,
only better.
Needless to say, this game is mouse
controlled and has many levels.
But the main attractions are the
time counter which dramatically
increases the tension and, also,
the reassuring presence of base line
tiles which will rescue you
in desparate situations.
The score is based on the number of
tiles and parasites destroyed and
on the time left at the end of each
level. This is an absolute must for
your collection!
The first ever Quality game
written in HiSoft Basic.
Top Game with Page 6 Magazine.
------------------------------------
- BU 8 SPECULATOR by Camy Maertens
Here we have a true to life
simulation based on real futures
markets. Keep your cool as the
Index creates the drama.
This game is for up to three players.
You start with 5OOO points and have
to correctly guess the direction of
the market.
Trends develop, reversals occur
and sudden panics can cause havoc
with the soundest strategies.
Everything that could conceivably
happen in real trading
is reproduced in this simulation.
The Index 'point and figure' chart
unfolds before your eyes and reveals
your profits or ...losses.
Any open position carrying an
excessive loss is automatically
stopped. Closing balances are
saved to disk.
-------------------------------------
- BU 9 TYCOON new version by Simon Rush.
A mineral exploring game.
The objective is to survey,
test drill and eventually exploit
various sites to extract valuable
minerals. Mines have different
levels of profitability.
Other factors, such as world prices,
currency fluctuations and production
costs all have an effect on the
profitability of the venture.
-------------------------------------
- BU 10 MONEYSPINNER by Jim Holmwood
The slot machine is alive ! This
accolade winning Budgie UK classic
incorporates all the usual features :
nudges, gambles, holds, and some more

least!..'ST Action December 88

be destroyed.
68000 code again.
