Old coverdisk game

Gordon · 03 May 2009, 11:55

I used to really enjoy this game I got off a magazine. Hard to describe though. Imagine the old Tennis pong games with the marker, but horizonatly and you had to bounce the ball off the marker and hit some bricks. You clear the level by getting rid of the bricks.

Any idea please?

I think you mean a 'bat and ball' game. Maybe it was a demo of a full game, so have a look at the bat and balls games in HOL : http://hol.abime.net/hol_search.php?&N_ref_category=5

Thanks mate! Not found it yet, but thats the sort of game it was. Cant belive theres a whole catergory!

TCD · 03 May 2009, 12:49

There are quite some nice ones in that category

Do you remember which magazine (or magazines) the coverdisk was from?

Gordon · 03 May 2009, 14:20

No I dont.

Was after 92 though.

Im enjoying Impact from there now .

There's a (very) good chance it was Poing, which is actually not in the HOL, apparently. Poing was horizontal, and definitely after '92.

I think I had this game but I can't find it. A lot of the levels had interesting patterns and levels that you had to get the ball down a small path to hit most of the blocks. I half remember having a choice of levels too.

Could it not be rebound, I know this is a 91 game but someone else had recently wanted and found this

The game i rememeber on a coverdisk was played with the bat on the left shooting to the right.

I believe you are right!
Poing 5, 6, 700 written by Paul van der Valk are available on Aminet.
I downloaded and played them in the past, but I'm enough sure I found a previous version on a coverdisk.

About the above results, the magazine I surely bought was Amiga Format 95 having Poing 4 in its coverdisk. Probably I had at least one previous poing version coming from an italian magazine not listed here (I don't remember which).

Thats the one i was talking about! i had the amiga power and computing mags with the original on. Was always a little difficult for me
