The Best Risk Clone on Amiga. Anyone not agree ?
written in AMOS 1-6 Players

Found a page on Paulo Laurino santas. Interesting stuff. But I can't tell if it's true. he mentions total war 2 and other amiga stuff that doesn't exist. Unless I'm not getting to read it right because of the google translation.

===================================================
TOTAL WAR 1.9 (c)
copyright 1991 by Paulo Laureano Santos
===================================================

The game was created using AMOS 1.3 (c)
&
Compiled with the AMOS COMPILER 1.0 (c)
(a very special thanks to Francois Lionet and MANDARIN SOFTWARE
for the best software I have ever used!)

A game by Paulo Laureano
Graphics by Francisco Cordeiro

I wish to thank the following people for helping to make Total War
possible: My family (for the patience and the million cups of coffee
I've taken), Francisco Cordeiro (for the graphics!), Michael Santos and
João Carvalho (for believing in my programing abilities), João Miranda
and Jorge Carrilho (for not believing I could do it), Motley Crue (for
the music I heard while programing), CNN (for the war coverage).

**********************************************

CONFIGURATION OF THE GAME (done with the pull-down menus):
----------------------------------------------------------

SPECIAL FX: If you want explosions during the game or not.

CARD SWAP: You may have the computer swapping your cards without human
intervention as soon as a player has cards to swap OR you may choose to
swap cards manually in the game. Sets of cards have different values (in
armies), 3 canons are worth 5 armies, 3 wood horses are worth 7 armies, 3
cavemen are worth 9 armies. There is a special bonus of 15 armies if you
have 3 different cards! If card swapping is automatic, the computer will
make the conversion of the cards as soon as a set is available; BUT if
card swapping is manual, you are prompted if you want to swap cards...
if you do swap the set of cards, everything will look and play as the
"automatic option"; if you do keep the set of cards in order to get more
cards you face some risks! Some cards may be lost if you do exchange the
same set you decided to keep previously because you have reached the
limit of 5 cards (which by the way is the maximum number of cards you may
own...)

INITIAL AP: If you choose the "automatic" option, the game will begin
with 3 armies on every country. If you choose the "manual" option, every
player places is own armies manually before the beginning of the game...

FORTIFY: If the "limited" option is selected, you may do only one
fortification per turn. If the "unlimited" option is selected every
player can do as many fortifications as he may wish... (the computers
will play A LOT better with unlimited fortifications...)

PLAY FOR: if the option "world" is selected the game ends when a player
owns all the countries. If the option "mission" is selected, the game
ends when a player finishes is mission with the same number of turns as
the other remaining opponents. If all human players are "out" of the
map, the game will be over...

NUMBER OF PLAYERS: This one is the only option that has to be selected
if you like the defaults of the other options....

GAME: Starts the game...

ON-GAME OPTIONS (selected with the buttons bellow the map)
----------------------------------------------------------

GAME STATS: Shows some informations about the game... useful to see
how many cards each player has and to examine each player "power" in that
moment...

CARDS: Shows the cards owned by the current player (if the current
player has no cards this button will not work).

ATTACK: This option allows the current player to attack a country (this
option will not work if you have already fortified any countries).

REPEAT ATTACK!: If the player has enough armies to repeat the last
attack, this option is just a shortcut to do it. It does not ask for the
"source" and "destination" like the "ATTACK" option...

FORTIFY: After you have attacked all the countries you wanted to, this
option allows you to fortify a country with armies from another of your
adjacent countries...

QUIT TURN: This ends the current player turn to play...

CREDITS: The address where to send the money to pay for the game and
the name of the people who made if...

QUIT GAME: Use this option to leave TOTAL WAR during the game.
You can also use "CTRL"+"SHIFT"+"C" at any time.

HOW "THINGS WORK" IN TOTAL WAR.
-------------------------------

Attacks are made by 3 attacking armies (max.), if you have 4 or more
armies in the attacking country... the defending country defends himself
with all available resources. The computer "calculates by random" the
result of the battle, taking in account the size of the forces and giving
some advantage to the defending country. So, attacking a country with
more armies then those you have for the attack is suicide (well some very
lucky people might get away with it, just like in real life...).

Each turn you have conquered one or more new countries you will gain a
special card, which may be later on converted into armies... the system
is rather simple but be warned: if you use the Manual Swap option, each
time you refuse to swap cards you are in danger of loosing some of your
cards. When you own 5 cards in your hand, the computer will swap the
best set for you, if you end up swapping the set you had chosen to keep
previously, you may(!) lose some/all of the two remaining cards.

Available bonuses:
South America ===== 2 extra armies
Africa ============ 3 extra armies
Australia ========= 1 extra army
North America ===== 4 extra armies
Europe ============ 5 extra armies
Asia ============== 6 extra armies
10 countries ====== 2 extra armies
20 countries ====== 4 extra armies

You can only attack adjacent countries, and move armies between adjacent
countries that you own. Check the file EXTRA.iff for some info on
adjacent countries and the limits of the continents in TOTAL WAR...

Humm... I think thats about all folks... I hated writing this manual
but I hope it will get you "going" on TOTAL WAR. Anything I left out
please ask when you register, I will answer your questions as soon as
possible...
Please do not upload TOTAL WAR to pirate BBS's (or BBS's with some
dubious sections), BBS's that pay ANY sort of fee for the access, BBS's
in USA or CANADA (this is a PAL version of TOTAL WAR, it will not work on
those countries!!! I will probably make a NTSC version later this
year.).
Please upload TOTAL WAR to any good BBS without pirate sections, which
does not charge users for access, in ANY country in the world (except USA
and CANADA).
You can place TOTAL WAR in ANY public domain library, as long as no more
than the price of the diskettes is charged.
You can GIVE AWAY as many copies of TOTAL WAR as you wish, as long
as nothing is charged.
C ya in the next game!

Well... the TOTAL WAR 1.x ends after 10 versions (from 1.0 up to 1.9)
and to tell you the truth, I loved doing this game, love to play it and I
think I will continue to do all this...
Please reading what is next remember that there is a time gap betwen
the time of writing and the now (the moment you are reading this...). By
this I mean that what I am about to tell you may already be available!!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
12-09-91 Lisbon, 6 a.m.

I just finished version 1.9 of the TOTAL WAR game, I am beginning the
new version TOTAL WAR II game right now... here is what I want it to do:

* Full modem support (play with a friend or more, via modem in
separate houses, citys, countries, etc)

* Better opponents

* Faster game (probably a lot faster since AMOS now supports
supports assembler directly... meaning that I can mix the
basic and amal parts with speedy code...)

* Different variants allowed... something like optional planes,
missiles, etc... and some mean ideas I got...

* New graphics (with support for both pal and NTSC, but with totaly
diferent data for both formats... I don't like NTSC graphics....)

I really don't have a release date for all this since I am going to
re-write 99% of the game... It will be crippleware (meaning, the game
will not be available unless you register it... I will release somekind
of demo, but as I said; a real cut-down version).

Registered users of TOTAL WAR 1.x versions will be able to download a
special shareware version, with the full game since its beta versions. I
don't know how to thank you all for the support... so I believe giving
you the 2.0 version in its full format is my way of doing it.

If you have not registered this present version and like the game,
please consider registering. I worked like a maniac to get the game done
and as far as I can tell; bug free... believe me that is hard work!

Hope to see you all in future releases of the
total war saga, and believe me; the best is yet to
appear!!

From HDINSTALL.TXT
-----------
To install TOTAL WAR on your Hard Drive just copy *ALL* the files in
the root directory of the TWAR disk and assign TWAR to your HD directory!

If you dont know a thing about AmigaDos you can do the following:

1- Make a directory for the TOTAL WAR files somewhere on your HD!
Check how to create a directory in your Workbench manual that
comes with the computer.

2- Open a cli (or shell window) and make your directory (the one you
just created!) the current directory... that is achieved using the
CD command. Something like this: "CD my_dir".

3- Now type the following; "Copy TWAR:#? :mydir"...

4- type dir and check if the program files are there...

6- type "ED s:startup-sequence" and place this somewhere before the
"LoadWb" line: "Assign TWAR: DH0:mydir"...
Now... total war should be installed on your HD... reset the
system and check it out... if it does not work properly write me
a letter, call the support BBS, register the program and I'll
help you as much as I can...

Sorry if this instructions are not as clear as you need them, but I
really hate this manuals stuff.
Paulo Laureano
-----------------
From REGISTER.TXT
-----------------
This program is ShareWare, if you like it, please send the following
amount of money to me:
$10 dollars for the copy you have
$5 dollars for the latest version

If I receive 10 dollars from you, you will become a registered user of
TOTAL WAR. If you have a modem you will gain access to a special
conference in BAT BBS (++351-1-705070 in Lisbon/Portugal, fidoNet address
2:36/6) and you can download the last version of TOTAL WAR.

If I receive 15 dollars from you, besides all the aspects of a 10 dollar
registration, I will mail you the latest version of TOTAL WAR, with a
printed manual, and a written reply to your comments (if any) that may
come along with the money.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to contact the authour.
From the translated page, I understand that if he was to remake Total War for PC, he would publish it as a freeware.
Therefore I guess he could be asked if he would be willing to do the same with Total War and asked he still has a copy (probably).


I don't seem to find a "contact me"/"mail me" form on his page. So perhaps the only way to reach him will be to post a comment in one of his article (by apologizing ofc to do so as you are not really commenting).


Not sure which EAB members are from Portugal and could help with that.
rkauer is from Brazil so I guess he could help.
Akira is Brazilian too IIRC.

Would be good if someone whose good at that type of thing would do that.
I don't know if it even uses the music, wouldn't Amos complain if a file was missing ?

Next is the crème de la crème of evil games

Coded In AMOS. maybe by the Devil Himself ! (you'll know what I mean if you've played this game)
This is a cool game everyone must try, all the mini games play well, but if you lose one game you go right back to the start, so don't expect to ever finish it.

ADF In the Zone if you need to try it.

Screens are a weird size because of the overscan, even on the horizontal.

This is the game that has kept the younger members of our household
glued to the Amiga for hours at a time! Roger is the author of
Crossfire, which was also very popular (APD110) and his latest offering
is just as addictive. In this game, your character moves through a
maze, but instead of meeting beasties, you are taken to one of seven
subgames which you must complete before going further. These games are
called at random, they are very simply presented, but very effective.
They range from a car race, dodge the arrows, guess the letter before
you get squashed to a pulp, centipede, minefield and a couple more
besides! Get this one, it will get you hooked!

--------------------------
THE BALLAD OF JAKE AND JOBE
---------------------------
It was three days before Winternight
in Elmora fields. A special night.
Every year a festival would be held,
not just any festival, the Winternight
Celebration. Townsfolk, Villagers and
City people from the highlands, the
rivers even the black hills gathered
together in Elmora fields for a
celebration so grand it would be
talked about almost until the next
one. Storytellers, Gleemen, Jugglers,
Jesters and performers would travel
from as far as the audiences
themselves to entertain on
Winternight. It was probably the
highest honour an artist could
receive, certainly the high point of
their lives.
Before a performer was allowed to
participate he had to be vetted by
King Elyas. Elyas was only 12, he
gained the throne from his father,
killed tragically in the lowland wars.
Elyas was a stubborn child and threw
more people into the dungeons than
they could hold; so the dungeons were
expanded at the Kings order, to
twenty-five in all. The daunting
possibility of being thrown into the
deepest pit the King could find didn't
outweigh the wonderous chance to
perform on Winternight though, and the
performers amassed regardless.

Jake sat in the corner of the cell.
His eyes fixed on a stone a few feet
in front of him. His brother, Jobe,
watched him and sighed an
unnecessarily loud sigh.

"Are you going to sit there until
Winternight or are we going to get out
of here?" he demanded.
"Get out of here! We can't get out of
here, no one can."
"So you are just going to sit here
are you?"
Jake flicked at a bit of imaginary
dust on his sleeve.
"Sit here and rot are you?"
Jake hummed a few notes of a song he
always got wrong which earned him a
sharp clip on the ear from the other.
"Oww!", he squealed and glowered at
Jobe who was now pacing up and down.
"It's your fault you know!" Jobe
muttered half to himself.
"It's always my fault, so you say."
Jake bleated.
"Well it is!" Jobe had stopped pacing
and spun to face his brother, the
bells on his Jesters' uniform jingled
loudly and made him wince.
"This silly costume cost me my last
few marks and now I'm going to die
down here in this dungeon looking like
a fool!"
Jake sniggered "You are a fool."
The other eyed him and tried to look
as menacing as a man can wearing
bright green and red spandex tights
and pointy shoes.
"I'm not a fool, I am a Performing
artist" he sucked in his chest and
tried to look grand. Jake sniggered
again, earning himself another clip on
the ear.

"He's too young, you know." he said,
rubbing his ear and grimacing.
"Who's too young for what" Jobe
started pacing again.
"His Royal Highness, King bloody
Elyas! That's who!" Jake's voice
echoed down the corridor. "Shades! I
heard that when he was eleven he
decided he was too old for most of his
toys so, you know what he did?"
Jobe ignored him.
"Instead of just chucking them away,
he chucked them down here. Threw his
own toys into the dungeon!..."
"Look!" Jobe burst in, wheeling on his
brother once more accompanied by
the ringing of his ten little bells,
he waited until they stopped.
"This isn't getting us out of here,
and it's still your fault"
"What did I do to make the King throw
us in here?" he squealed.
"Your bloody 'sure-fire' bomb juggling
act, that's what."
"I did it really well" Jake retorted.
"You blew a hole in the throne room
wall!" Jobe's voice shot up an octave.
"Well you got us thrown out of the
Jesters Guild" Jake smiled
triumphantly.
Jobe's face was turning red. "Fire
juggling as an act is always a
calculated risk..."
"Especially in a room with a straw
roof!" the other cackled and rolled
onto his side holding his stomach.
"Okay, that one was my fault but
remember if we can get out of his
dungeons the King said he would let us
perform at Winternight. And the first
prize is to be the Royal Court
Appointed Jester! Just think of it!
we've always wanted to be Jesters, all
our lives."
"Only because father wanted us to be."
"Well yes, he had us wearing make-up
and tights even when we were little."
"I told you, I don't like being
reminded of that!" Jake scowled.
Jobe stormed off, shouting back that
he hoped that he rotted, as he turned
a corner and disappeared into the
gloom of the dungeon, a precession of
tiny bells following.
"He's right... we have always wanted
to be Jesters. And we could get out of
here if we put our heads together.
Its not as if we're stupid, we just
don't seem to have much luck."

From early years Jake and Jobe's 'bad
luck' branded them with the name 'the
Jinxes'. Everyone called them it, but
they soon turned it around by making
it their performing name. Jake and
Jobe - the Spectacular Jinxes.

Just then Jobe came flailing up the
corridor his gawky frame casting
absurd shadows on the walls. He
stopped short of his brother opened
his cupped hands. Jake leaned forward.
A huge diamond sat in Jobe's hands
glistening seemingly from within, a
cool white glow. Jobe looked up from
his find smiling. "I think I know how
we can get out of here!" he said,
excitement whelling up in his voice.
He bit his lip hard to calm himself
down.
-------------
GUIDE
------------
Can you help Jake and Jobe out of
their latest predicament? The "Jinxes"
have landed themselves in the Kings'
dungeons, just three days before the
start of Winternight, the largest
communion of Jesters and the like in
Elmora.

In the deepest dungeon, 25 levels
down Jake and Jobe have only the
bombs they use to juggle and whatever
they can find to help them to escape.

They aren't completely alone, a
selection of cast off toys, once
belonging to the young King will
either help or hinder them. Every
object in the dungeons has special
qualities and move in their own way.
You will find teddy bears, exploding
bottles, rockets and other strange
objects scattered around. It is up to
you to decide how to use them. The
dungeons aren't locked as such, due to
the Kings odd sense of humour.
A varying number of crystals need
collecting from each dungeon. Once
collected, guide Jake or Jobe to the
Exit.

In the game you can swap control to
either Jake or Jobe by pressing fire.
Look out for rubber ducks that shoot
across the dungeon, balls that bounce,
teddies that can be pushed, rockets
that can be lauched and explosive
bottles. If an object hits Jake or
Jobe or they are caught in an
explosion, they lose a life and the
level must be replayed. If an object
hits an explosive bottle, BOOM.
everything close is destroyed. The
only thing that isn't vunerable are
the walls, so don't go blowing up any
diamonds or the exit! You need to
collect ALL the diamonds before you
can leave a level.

For each level you are allowed a
varying number of "steps" and these
decrease every time you move, when you
run out you lose a life and start the
level again!
Look out for blocks with arrows on,
you and other objects can only pass
though these in the direction of the
arrows, either up/down or left/right.

Above all, experiment. Have a play
around pushing different blocks around
and see what happens. Some crystals
may be "trapped" by other objects and
you will have to find a way of getting
to them safely.

When you complete a level you are
asked if you wish to save your current
position, if you have lost a lot of
lives on the last level, you may want
to just try the next level or so and
come back later with a few more lives.
During the game, you can set off one
of the bombs you carry, (the number
you have is displayed on the right of
the screen.) Press space and an
explosion will occur around you, you
are safe from this but your other
player isn't. So get him out of the
way before you do anything drastic!

If you find yourself "trapped" or have
blown up a diamond or the exit or in
anyway are unable to complete a level,
you can press "Escape" to escape the
level, this costs a life and you can
try again.

You can pick up extra bombs, lives,
and bonus blocks which reset your
"steps" to full.

You must collect all diamonds to leave
a level

Only one player needs to walk through
the exit
Bottles explode when an object hits it

Rockets travel up the screen and
explode when they hit an object

Press FIRE to toggle control of Jake
or Jobe

Press ESCAPE in the game to escape a
level if you can no longer complete it

Press SPACE to use a bomb

Only use bombs when absolutely
nessesary as they are in very limited
supply.

Think about what will happen before
pushing something!

Hope you enjoy the game!

previous projects

f you have read up on Cynet in the about section you will already know that we used to program Amiga PD games. Many of these games are reviewed here and you can even download playable versions too!
Jinx

The most successful game we have produced. The concept for Jinx was a direct step on from Masquerade. The puzzle elements are much easier to follow and plenty of other devices were added to create a very challenging game. There are 25 levels - each level is unique and contains mind-bending puzzles to solve.

Push the ducks and collect diamonds - but don't get trapped!

Jinx plays a bit like Boulderdash crossed with a Bomberman game, but the orignal docs are included if you want to find out more about the gameplay.

The orignal idea is an evolution of a previous game Masquerade, which itself is a mash of loads of other ideas and gameplay. It has that unusual gravity thing like Boulderdash, where even though you seem to be looking down on the rooms, things still fall 'down' the screen, in those days weird twists like that didn't even make you blink, but today's youth would surely shun such blatant unrealism.

There is even a cool early type of 3d sound, where if something shoots across the screen from one room and out again the sound follows them - you could even 'drop' an object when you knew that it could fall for several screen and wait for the faint 'clink' when it landed.

Collect diamonds and push the rocket to blow up the blue block.

The most fun part of designing this game was the characters Jake and Jobe, because the objects in this dungeon are so bizzare (plastic ducks, rockets and teddies etc) the two jester characters in their bright colours fit right in. We even developed a story to lead you into the game, to introduce you to the characters and give them some history.

Jake and Jobe are still quite close to my heart and I still hope that one day I will be able to resurect them - But Jinx, as it was, would never survive the translation into 3d, partly because of that wierd gravity thing, and because there is no market for 2d games anymore. Time will tell.

This is another The BrotherS release!

Those of you already familiar with the game only need to read this

THIS IS A STAND ALONE RELEASE, ALL OLD WORMTRIS FILES ARE NOW
OBSOLETE AND CAN BE DELETED, EXCEPT FOR THE HIGHSCORE FILE,
WHICH SHOULD BE RENAMED AS WORMTRIS.HSC AND BE PUT IN THE DATA
DIRECTORY.

What's new in this version of WormTris?

· On popular demand (well, three people asked for it..) there's a PAUSE
option included in this special edition. Just press 'p' to pause the
game, and any key to continue.

· NEW feature: The WORMUTATION, check it out!

· File structure enhanced: Now there are only 4 datafiles, this doesn't
add any real value to the game but it just looks pro!

· BUG FIX: There was a problem with the PIT-PURGE feature, it would just
result in an infinite loop. I hope this is fixed now. (or else I just
release another fix version :^)

· AmigaGuide documentation! :^)

Oh, by the way: the flashing number under the 'press button to play' text
when you just loaded the game indicates how much chipmem is used. It is
only for developing purposes, to keep me from using too much mem (I have 2
meg Chip, and I wanted this game to run with 1 meg chip :^)

Whatever happens: It's not my fault! :^)

This is the SHAREWARE section (Oh, please, keep on reading!).

This in my opinion quite well done game is SHAREWARE. That means: if you
play it a lot (and you DO :^) then you are encouraged to encourage me to
keep on programming by sending me the quite LOW shareware fee of just
10 (ten) dutch guilders. In return for the money you get the chance to
play future games I develop. If you DON'T want to pay me, then so be it,
but that is both immoral and illegal. You already have the FULL game, as
this game is not crippled in any way, so I trust you pay for it. If I
don't get much 'donations' then I *WILL* revert to crippling my games,
(pay first, play later) as I will have lost the trust in the shareware
concept. THINK about it, then decide my destiny :^).

If you thought about it and decided to pay me after all, then you can do
this in numerous ways:

· For dutch users: Via de POSTGIRO. Stort het tientje op giro rekening
nummer 5139305, Lees verder voor adres.

· Via snailmail: Put the cash (no coins!) in a SEALED envelope to:

J. van den Berge
The Netherlands

if you use this method, then 'shield' the money by putting it in a
christmas card or something, or else it might not reach me at all!
Also for bug reports

· Give it to me personally, although this method is not very handy if
you don't live in Zeeland! ;^)

· Other ways to contacting me:

- Try the TBS BBS systems, leave a messy to eNTiTy.

- Mail networks: AGANET, FIDONET, AMYNET.

- E-mail:

THANKS:

everyone who has contacted me about the game. sadly there were only 3,
and I really think that figure misses atleast one zero at the end, given
the widespread distribution of this game. Come on people, are you afraid
to write me or is it just lazyness? I really need the feedback! WRITE!

The BrotherS: For testing and distributing. Also thanks for the nice
long chats which cost me a fortune (although that's probably my fault :^)

SPECIAL THANKS:

to R.G.A.M. de Witt who has been (the first) kind enough to pay the
shareware fee. Much thanks dude! I'd wish there were more like you :^)

To play this kewl game you need:

· A working Amiga system with kickstart 2.0 (didn't test older kicks),
· A joystick :^)
· 10 dutch guilders ;^)

It's Tetris...

It's Worms...

It's COOL!

WormTris is, as its name suggests, a Tetris clone with a bit of Worms mixed
in. It has numerous special features which can help or hinder you in your
quest for the all mighty HighScore.

Errm... Do I have to? ;^) You play this game with a joystick, A joystick
is a usually plastic device with which you can use to influence the
actions of a program supporting such a device. In this case you use the
joystick to execute these actions:

up : Clear pit if you have 25 cash (see below) *BUGFIXED*

down : Perform a positive vertical translation on the current block

left : Perform a negative horizontal translation on the current block

right: Perform a positive horizontal translation on the current block

fire : Perform a 0.5 Pi clockwise rotation on the current block

the purpose is to make lines with the handed blocks, the game is really
easy to play, even without this doc you can still play it..

You found the secret section!

As a reward I'll explain things to you, but only if you can decipher this!

Secret 1:

Aaaah, nice.. This is what makes the game fun!

to 'get' a feature, make a line when a '?' appears above the block. If you
don't make the line, then you don't get the feature.

Here's a few cool features:

UFO: The most irritating feature. It can do numerous things, but you
have to find out yourself what it does...

Extend: A unique feature never seen in any other tetris clone, this
extends the bottom of the pit to hold an extra line!

Bonus: The most dull thing in any game, a score bonus..... DUH!

Revenge: Aah, you'd better not get this one when your kill ratio is a tad
high!

Suicidal: This detonates any sheep in the pit! Very not-nice when you have
Sheep a few on screen...

That's not all folks! There are quite some features in the game, and it would
spoil the effect if I would tell 'm all!

There are also some 'special' blocks, which can either help, or annoy you:

Worm: You can make combo's with worms, they are affected by gravity,
so if you would make a line, and a worm is above that line, the
worm would fall down if the line dissapears, possibly making
another line. you could also just dump a worm in a long shaft,
but that results a lower score that with the other method...
Worms can get squashed by blocks, and your kills are noted.

Sheep: This block is very handy to destroy other blocks which are in the
way, the sheep explodes when you press the fire button while it
is falling, or when it gets squashed. Sheeps behave, apart from
their explosive nature, exactly the same as worms, thus you can
also make combo's with sheeps. Be careful with sheep! If they
explode, all other sheeps in range will also go (chain-reaction)!

Laser: A bit overpowered block, it allows you to shoot away unwanted
blocks, or, if you're fast enough, clear the entire pit..
press fire to shoot the laser. you can fire as many times as
you can, until the block can't drop anymore.

I am a 18 year old dude who prefers using Amigas rather than PCs, but
this is probably normal :^) I can also tell you I worship the absolutely
MEGA kewl Star-Trek (ALL series) and I really HATE school.

My hardware:

System 1: Amiga 500+ with 2MB chip, Kickstart 3.1

The brothers is a group of really nice guys and above all: AMIGA freaks,
releasing quite some good software. The reason I joined is because they
asked me ;^) and because my stuff gets spread much faster via BBSes and

TO DO:
· fix bugs found by users
· nothing

As you can see, it's quite much what I still have to do... NOT!
This may change if you send me some cash and ideas! If you have really
cool ideas for this game then please tell me. If I include YOUR idea in
the game, then you will be credited for it in the thanks section.

From Depthcharge.doc

'DEPTHCHARGE'
-------------
(C) 18.1.94 Neil Strotton
Introduction:
-------------

Depthcharge is based on an old arcade game that was around when I was a nipper (about 10 years ago!)

You control a submarine destroyer and must destroy as many enemy submarines as possible by dropping depthcharges on them.

The enemy subs have 2 means of defense :-

1. Mines - These are released from the subs and float slowly up to the
surface. One hit from one of these and you're sunk!

2. Torpedos - These are only launched from subs which are directly beneath
you. They move fast and are much harder to avoid.

Controls:
---------

Joystick controls - Left/Right to move destroyer

- Hold fire button down and nudge joystick Left or Right
to fire a depthcharge.

Press SPACE to pause the game

Press Left Mouse Button to quit

Other Info:
-----------

You can only fire 4 depthcharges at once - so the key is to be accurate
rather than trigger-happy!

Points are scored for each sub destroyed based on the depth of the sub.
i.e. The deeper the sub the higher the score
Small subs score double.

Torpedos are more likely to be fired the higher the level you are on.

Some torpedos fail to explode on contact with the destroyer
(not many though)!

Depthcharge was designed and programmed by Neil Strotton.
It is public domain and may be freely copied but not hacked/altered or
sold for profit.

Conditions of Use
As the code and source is in the Public Domain, I can't really make any
conditions of use. However, I'd just like to hope that no-one will
separate, butcher or make unnecessary changes to any of files. Any
alterations should be clearly marked as such. Thank you.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks

Many thanks to Darren Irvine for creating the music. The tunes he created
were the first he'd ever produced on an Amiga (he doesn't even own one) and
I think that if a software house were to give him an Amiga he'd be only to
happy to write some of the best music they'd ever heard. I can pass on any
messages/parcels to Darren.

Of course, writing a module-play routine is way beyond me, so thanks also
to the un-spellable chap who wrote MED. What a guy.

Thanks to Craig Erskine for almost play-testing the game. Thanks to Green
(GPz550) for letting me use his colour monitor to enable me to go
overboggle on the copper lists. |||-)

Thanks to Colin Turner (XJ600) for almost, but not quite, doing the
graphics. He used to be a normal chap until he had to learn COBOL. Sad
case. :-(

Thanks to Database/Interactive/Europress or whatever their name is this
week for (albeit unwittingly) supplying me with the hardware I needed.
(You still owe me, boys ;-).

Thanks to the little red haired girl for all sorts of nice things.
---------------------------------------------------------
And now, the end is near...

Thank you, good night, God bless, may your break callipers never seize and
may your favourite Pink Floyd song go with you. |-)

From Readme

Welcome to Fleuch 3.0!

This is a version based on Fleuch2.0 by Karsten Goetze with some
extensions by Andreas Spreen.
-------------------------------
The game:

You have to move the small space ship through the scenery without touching
the walls. Look for a ball and try to fly in short distance to it, then
hit space to pick it up. The level ends, if you climb to the top.
If your ball is destroyed (but not the ship) enter ESC to get a new ball.

Fleuch is based on Thrust from the C64.
--------------------------------------
The controls:
ESC - end level/game
P - pause

Keyboard mode: A - left turn
S - right turn
SHIFT RIGHT - thrust
RETURN - fire
SPACE - pick up ball


Joystick mode: LEFT/RIGHT - turn left/right
UP - thrust
DOWN - pick up ball
FIRE BUTTON - fire
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Music was made with Teijo Kinnunens great "MED - music editor V3.20".
His playroutine is used in the game.

The game looks for files in the subdirectory "data" which should
be in the same directory as the main program. The font "fleuch"
is used, so make sure, it's in the right place (fonts.
Also the mathffp.library, the mathtrans.library and the
diskfont.library are needed. Start game from CLI or Workbench.

Hiscores are saved, so disable write protection on disk.
While looking at the hiscores, you can press DEL to
reinitialize all tables.

I hope NTSC-Users will also have their fun with it and the
game runs on every Amiga. If not, please send me a note.

Bugreports, Suggestions and 'MoreLevelRequests' are more than
welcome and should go to:

Vertically scrolling space shootemup with 6 long levels.
This is more like it, but I went a bit overkill and the levels are about twice as long as they should be.
Special mention goes to the really poor level 3. Just for you, I have removed the codesheet protection
(took ages to find Devpac and my sourcecode) so you can play the whole game (whoopee).

from original relase readme

** (C)1993 Robin Burrows. Additional graphics by Phiz and Alex Burrows. **
** Compression routine supplied by Martin Davis, PACK_ICE by Axe of **
** Superior (Atari ST, no kidding!). This game is ThreeQuidWare.
** Playtesting by Steven Huckle and Mark Wilby.
** Released on Wednesday 29th September 1993.

This game may be freely distributed provided:

1) No more than 2 pounds is charged for disk and duplication.
2) No money is made from the distribution of the actual program, only the
author can charge for the program.
3) The information in the files for this game are not altered in ANY WAY,
except for archiving where the files can be unarchived into their
original format (See later on for full list of files).
4) You understand that this program is provided 'as is' without any form of
warranty, the authors cannot accept liability for damage caused directly
or indirectly by this program, the user assumes full responsibility for
any damage and/or loss of time and/or data.
5) If you like this program you are asked to send a small fee to the author
at the address contained within the actual game, I will then send you a
code sheet and some cheats allowing you to play the whole game.
6) You read all of this boring (but short) readme file.

Sorry about all that, but I needed to straighten those points out.

INDEX.
======

1) What is ThreeQuidWare?
2) Why did you write this game?
3) Using Fatal Mission 2.
4) List of files.
5) Epilogue.

What is ThreeQuidWare?
======================

Put simply, ThreeQuidWare is a system where you pay the author Three pounds
because he was kind enough to write this program for you.
The address to write to is contained in the actual game, along with lots of
other boring texts. Why should you send me three quid? Because you won't see
any more games/utilities released as ThreeQuidWare unless I get a reasonable
response from you lot, I'm planning much better games in the future including
AGA specific ones, and a much wider variety of styles.
In return for your money I will send you a codesheet, and some cheats for
this game.

Why did you write this game?
============================

I am (still) unemployed, and was bored. Also, I wanted to try some new
routines out and this seemed the best way to do it. Read the texts in the
actual game for more info.

Using Fatal Mission 2.
======================

Right. FM2 uses AmigaDOS to load things. This should mean that:
A) YOU SHOULD NOT MUCK ABOUT WITH THE KEYBOARD/MOUSE WHILE IT IS LOADING!!!
Because the workbench/CLI is still active underneath the FM2 screen,
I have opened a big 'catch' window to catch key presses and this seems
to be 100% effective at catching loose key presses.
DO NOT try to multitask other programs as this will probably crash
the machine.
B) You should be able to run the game DIRECTLY from any standard Amiga
device including: Hard Drive, CD-ROM (Inc. CDTV - CD32), floppy disk,
smart card, ram disk and lots of others that haven't been invented yet.
The game can be played entirely with joystick, keyboard, or a mixture of
both. I recommend resetting after using FM2 as it is rather untidy, but
the only program I found not to work after using FM2 is OctaMED.
If you are worried about playing FM2 from hard drive, disable it and use the
floppy, but I'd just like to say this:
The game only READS from disk, so should NEVER corrupt it.
FULL error checking is done while loading.
Only OS legal code is used while loading.
I've been quite happily playing the game on my Rochard52 and never had a
single error, even when writing the game, but please bear in mind I cannot
be held responsible if anything does go wrong.
Always keep a backup, regardless what programs you are using.
Drag the whole Fatal Mission 2 drawer to the destination device to Install.
WorkBench: Double click on the games icon to start.
CLI/Shell: 'cd' to the directory with Fatal Mission 2 in, i.e:
cd df0:FatalMission2, then type: FatalMission2.
Boot: Reset your Amiga with an appropriate startup-sequence.

There is absolutely no point having an epilogue, unlike The Invaders.

Welcome to The Fellowship of the Grail.

This game is in the time-honoured tradition of text-only adventures, the
concept behind which being that your mind is capable of painting far more
vivid pictures than mere computer graphics could achieve.

YOU are the central figure in the story, and you will be presented with a
series of problems & puzzles in your course to the final solution. These
problems will frequently require you to possess certain items obtained
from elsewhere in the game and to use them in a particular way. It would
be unwise to assume that any single item has only one use!

As an indication of how you are progressing, you will be presented with
a regular update of your score and the number of moves made so far. This,
however, is only a general guide, and should not be taken too seriously.
Points will be awarded for obtaining certain items and for solving some
problems, but remember that the final objective is to complete the game -
you will be in no doubt when this has been achieved!

At the risk of stating the obvious, you would be well advised to draw a
map. Read all text carefully, and examine all objects, as in many cases
the information you receive will be helpful in indicating your way ahead.
There are often clues in the descriptions of locations and objects which
can provide valuable pointers as to how you should proceed.

Please note that the game requires MORE than 512K memory to run.

Greetings to the Swedish and Danish contingents, and many thanks, Claus
for your flattering write-up in `Adventure Posten'. I'll try to keep it
up as long as there are individuals out there to play the things!

Finally, (and I've kept the biggies to the last), eternal gratitude to
The Grue, Ted, Maureen and Nic for their invaluable help in playtesting
`The Holy Grail' and for their suggestions which have hopefully contri-
buted to making this a `better game'.

Welcome to Roach Motel!

(C)1993 Ryan Scott
This game was created by Ryan Scott for PLAYFIELD! AMOS Newsletter
providing all the best AMOS specific information you'll find anywhere.

Roach Motel was created to show that AMOS can be used to create
commercial quality software - with a little work and a lot of know-how.
PLAYFIELD! aims to provide routines and techniques the AMOS programmer
can use and learn from to create the games or utilities of their dreams.
The shell of Roach Motel originally appeared in the Dec92 issue and
was subsequently refined, enhanced, and expanded to produce the game you
now have. I sincerely hope you enjoy it.

The bottom of the first title screen has some options for you. Pressing the
space bar takes you through the high score table, instruction screens, and
back to the title screen. M toggles music. You can use the joystick
up & down to select the start level. If you have a 1 or more megabytes of
chip ram you may select a set of larger levels by moving the joystick left
or right. Pressing ESC during the game will allow you to exit. After
pressing it, press it again, then press any key or move the joystick to go
back to the game. Only then will the game end and you will go back to the
title screen. Pressing ESC any other time will exit the program entirely.
Space bar puts the game in pause mode, any key or joystick movement exits.
By the way, when Get Ready is being displayed, you are invincible for a few
seconds or until you move.
Bonus lives are awarded after completion of each level and at every 100000
points.

The object of the game is to collect all the spray cans to complete the
level. If you touch any creatures you will lose one life except when
stomping on a roach or hitting a roach or boyd with your head if you are
wearing the toupee! Sound weird? It is.
The instruction screen forgets to mention that you may fall any height IF
you land on top of a roach.

There are a few cheats in the program which I'm not going to reveal here.

The game can be copied to hard drive simply by dragging the PLAYFIELD!
directory icon to wherever you want it to go. You may erase the highscores
by deleting the file 'highscoredata' in the PLAYFIELD! directory. I leave
the execution of this task up to you! Refer to a manual or something!
Roach Motel works equally well in PAL as NTSC mode, the only difference
being that in PAL mode you can see more of the playfield at one time.
You may find you need to adjust your screen position and size (dials at the
back of most monitors) to get see the entire screen with its borders.

This game is (C)opyright 1993 Ryan Scott. It is released into the public
domain. You may freely copy this program. Go ahead and upload, download, or

DOGFIGHT SIMULATOR v1.2b

Program and graphics ©1994 Dan Rhodes

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THIS GAME IS RELEASED AS FREEWARE - IT MAY BE COPIED FREELY, SO LONG AS
THIS DOC FILE ACCOMPANIES IT AND NEITHER THE EXECUTABLE OR THIS FILE ARE
MODIFIED. NO WARRANTY IS GIVEN - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

------- What is it? -------

Well, Dogfight Simulator is yet another version of that old game where
each player controls a biplane and tries to kill the other players.
BUT, there's a difference - up to four players can play at once! No more
wimpy one-on-one dogfights!

Once the game has loaded, simply press F1-F4 to choose the controls for
each player (choosing "Out to Lunch" lets you play with less than four
players), and then press F5 to start. Each player starts with ten lives,
and the last player left alive wins.

------- How to fly -------

1. Pressing fire starts your biplane accelerating down the runway.
2. Once you've picked up enough speed (when you're near the end of the
runway), use the rotate left/right controls to take off.
3. Slowing down too much stalls your engine, so go upwards at a shallow
angle at first. Once you've gained some altitude, powerdive vertically
downwards to gain some speed.
4. If you do stall, the only way to restart your engine is to point your
'plane straight down, and wait until you've picked up enough speed.

NOTE: During the game, pressing P pauses, and Q quits.

------- Features -------

1. Up to four players simultaneously
2. 50 frames a second animation!
3. Four channel sound
4. Extreme addictiveness
5. Very simple graphics
6. The obligatory annoying cloud
7. Twinkling stars
8. ...and many other trivial things

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
v1.0 First public release (on the Amiga Computing coverdisk).

v1.1 Slightly wider display using overscan.
A few small bugs fixed.

v1.2 Support for four player joystick adaptors (at last!).
Fixed the sound effects to work on the A1200.

v1.2b Sigh, v1.2 had a new bug in the sound effects.

------- Compatibility Problems -------

Dogfight Simulator has been tested with Kickstart 1.3 and 2.04 and various
memory configurations on various Amigas, and works fine, but:

On AGA amigas you must select "enhanced" from the boot-up menu.
A couple of people with A500+'s reported a bug in v1.0 which prevented
some players from taking off. I'm not exactly sure what caused this, and
I would like to know if this bug still remains in v1.2

------- Future Improvements? -------
Feel free to contact me with suggestions, bug reports and any other
comments.

Good platformer if you like manic miner types.
a remake of blagger from c64.
Some places call it "Jonas Fulstrand" and some "Son of Blagger".

Aweird thing. I have tried 4 different sources for this and they are all the same. none show the intro picture
and I can't get it to show. can anyone help to get it to view it .? I can see the picture with a memory viewer
but only in 2 colour.
If someone could get the archive from Aminet and have a go to see what is wrong. the file is intropic
the startup of most disk versions is :-

can't find any info about the date either?

hello. this game was written by marcus g. and the music was
made by daniel f. using "noisetracker" from hallonsoft.
the face on the intro-picture belongs to jonas sjostrand.
this game is intended for people like me,
who think that the most enjoyable computer games were those
designed for the c64 before 1987, and especially for people
who liked "manic miner" and "son of blagger". this game
does not contain any beautiful graphics, mainly because i'm
dso bad at drawing, but i hope that you will like it anyway.
"jonas fulstrand" is, of course, public domain!.
there will be no greetings to any hacker-groups, because
there is no longer anyone who deserves it. a little hello though
to the following persons - mattias f, stefan g, christian, jocke,
hans f, mikael w, per o, joakim r, jonny b, fredrik f and others.
