AMIGA A1200 Public Domain
PLANET GROOVE (Team Hoi) A1200 DEMO 1 DISK
PLANET GROOVE from Team Hoi was the very first P.D DEMO to make
use of the new 256 colour AGA graphics mode.(even though it might
not look like it!)
The Demo starts of with the Team Hoi logo on the screen with a
256 colour graduated backdrop and some rather nice fireworks
effects.
There is also some nice dot Sine-Scroll effects also on a 256
colour screen.
Right at the end of the demo there are two pictures, one of them
is a scene from the commercial game HOI which the Coders of this
demo produced and the other one is of a fractal, Nothing unusual
there, But what is nice is the fact that the two pictures are moved
around the screen and faded in and out of each other whilst the
now customary scroll text scrolls accross the bottom.
All this makes up for a rather nice demo,but i'm afraid to say it
still would'nt look out of place on an A500. But I suppose it's
nice to see somebody making an effort!
MOTOROLA INVADERS 2 AGA GAME 2 DISKS
Who remembers the old Space Invaders game?
Well this is very similar to it, only this time, you are shooting
at VIRI that have (supposed to have) infected your AMIGA!
The Aliens ar emade up of only one colour, BLACK! but the
background that they are on is a 256 colour drawing of what is
supposed to be the inside of your computer!
There are FOUR different attack modes, ranging from the usual
Space Invaders routine to a GIANT invader that attacks and when you
shoot at it, it explodes in true PANG! fashion.
Where this game really is goos is in the sound department, with
a few verses sampld from a METTALICA record and the quality of the
samples are AMAZING. (Even the voices don't sound distorted ! ! !)
WORKBENCH 3.0 SCREENS (W/BENCH SCREENS!) 1 DISK
The good thing about Workbench 3 is the way you can add pictures
into the background,but if you are not that good at drawing, the
results can be a bit on the tacky side!
This is where this disk stands out, it contains 13 IFF images
for use as backdrops for the Workbench screen, Some of them are
actual pictures, while some of them are the type of pictures you
would expect to see behind the program listings on Television!
These pictures are rather nice and consist of such things as
Waves, Marble effect and other such things.
If your into customizing your Workbench,then this disk is for
you.
My personal favourite has the same logo as is on the front cover
of the A1200 Instruction book !
ROAD TO HELL GAME 1 DISK
This game will work on Workbench 2 and 3 AMIGAS, but is so good I
have decided to give it a mention here.
If you have played Supercars 2, you will know what this game is
about. If you have'nt, heres a breif description.
The racetrack you are racing on is viewed from the top and you can
either have a full screen track or a split screen track which is
handy for two player games !
In between races you get to buy more equipment for your car,
e.g New tyres or Missiles ?!
All in all this is a very well made game, and deserves to be in
your software collection.
KLONDIKE AGA CARD GAME 3 DISKS
Do you know how to play the card game patience ?
The one where you put out seven rows of cards and try to match the
numbers and colours together.
Well this is the AGA version of the game !
Each card contains a DIFFERENT 256 colour picture of a young lady
(FULLY CLOTHED!)
The gameplay itself is exactly the same as the card game, but I
Think the computer version is more fun to play, with great graphics
and nice music. I have been told that you can edit the pictures
that are on the cards or insert your own, but as I have'nt tried it
yet, I don't know if this is right!
All the above titles are (or should be) available from your local
P.D Library.
Or are also available direct from us for only £1.00 per disk
plus 50p Post and package to total order price.
