^7 This  is a shareware game, so if you really like it and play it, you
^7should send in your registration fee.

^7 It's  a  very  addictive game which seems to be loosely based on the
^7principle of Solitaire where you have to remove pieces from the board
^7by  jumping one over another into an empty space.  The pieces in this
^7game  are fluffy (fwuffy) red creatures and you save them by removing
^7them from the game screens.

^7 There  are  loads  of levels and you do not need to empty a level in
^7the  24  moves  allowed.   You  leave a level by clicking on the EXIT
^7button  and  if  you've  done enough, you go onto the next level.  If
^7not, the Fwuffs are twapped forever.

^7 This game should come with a health warning, it is highly addictive!
^7The graphics are simple, but they do their job.

^7 You  have  to like animals to play this little adventure, or you get
^7sent  back  to  Workbench!   This  game  is  written  for  very young
^7children, probably help to read the messages will be needed but there
^7is  plenty of things in this miniventure that even 3 year olds can do
^7by  themselves.   The game starts in the child's bedroom and you have
^7to click on an object to take on your quest.

^7 There  are  four  lands  for  you  to  visit,  Toyland, Animal Land,
^7Witchland  and Fairytale land.  There is a task to perform in each of
^7these lands that will send you further along your way.

^7 The  graphics for the game tasks are very well drawn and the effects
^7used  are  also  very good.  Although parts of the program could have
^7been  a  bit  more polished, it is a good game for little adventurers
^7who aren't as critical as us adults!

^7 Worth  a  look  and a donation to the Animal rights organisation who
^7will benefit from the proceeds.  Recommended.

^7 Another  game  with  a message.  The author of this game wants us to
^7take care of the trees that are left on this planet.

^7 The  game involves stopping the little axemen from chopping down the
^7trees by catching them with your bulldozer.

^7 This  is  not  as  easy  as it sounds as the men are faster than the
^7dozer and there are loads of them!

^7 The  graphics  are  a  bit  small, but the game is very playable and
^7worth a look.

^7 This  is  a  `silly'  type  of  program.  I don't mean that it's bad
^7programming, but that it's output will get you giggling!

^7 The  idea  is  to input 10 names and 10 situations, then you can let
^7the  computer  do  the  rest.   It  displays  sentences  with  random
^7inclusions of the names and situations that were typed in earlier.

^7 This  can  give rise to some fun, as our kids prooved when let loose
^7with  it.   Things such as `Dad met Mum and slapped her' and the like
^7led to great hilarity.

^7 The  sentences  can be displayed against a starfield if you like and
^7there  is  an  option  of speech, but as is normal, this slows things
^7down  no  end.   There is a save feature as well as a couple of other
^7effects including music.

^7 Good fun for kids and adults, but be careful what you type in!!!

^7 This  is  an Amos version of an old favourite, Centipede.  I like to
^7see a new title given to an old game, and this one catches the eye.

^7 The  graphics  are  really good with a jungle-like border around the
^7playing  area.   The game graphics look good and the gameplay is fast
^7and furious.  One wrong move and you're a dead snake in the grass!

^7 Well  worth a look at, it's good PD, hopefully Peter will do another
^7soon,  and  maybe  with a novel idea he'll get a title on Licenseware
^7one day.

^7 Delve  back  to  the  earlier  days of Amos PD, and you may remember
^7Dreamers  disk  magazine.   Paul used to produce that mag, and now he
^7has plans to produce a new more Amos based mag called Zirus, (see APD
^7353 for a demo.)

^7 Paul  has  provided three Amos source programs on this disk and they
^7are  goodies.   Bouncy  has  an excellent bounce effect, Multi scroll
^7puts lots of scrolly text on the screen and Animdots is a very pretty
^7pattern effect with cycling colours rather like a fibre optic lamp.

^7 Also on the disk are a couple of pieces of music and two non Amos PD
^7graphic  utility  progs  for grabbing pics and converting them to IFF
^7files.

^7 Good source disk for finding new ideas.
