^6 Mark  has  provided  numerous  games for the library and this is his
^6latest.   This  game supports up to SIX players, each player having a
^6`screen'  to  him/herself  where  he/she  can  see  exactly where the
^6character  they  control  is  moving.  This is done by displaying six
^6small  rectangular playing fields on the same screen.  The aim of the
^6game  is for each player to find the exit to the next game level.  It
^6obviously uses a combination of joysticks and keybord/keypad controls
^6for  each  player  to  use.   It  looks  like fun if you've a load of
^6friends who all want to use your Amiga at the same time!

^6 This  is  another  variation  on  the old favourite game of Hangman.
^6This  disk  contains a version for children and a version for adults.
^6The kid's version is quite novel, with animation sequences.  Soldiers
^6first march on the condemned prisoner, who stands between his guards.
^6A  wrong guess makes him hide his face in dispair as a soldier brings
^6on part of the gallows.  A right guess makes the prisoner jump up and
^6down with joy.  This goes on until the word is complete or the man is
^6hanged and his soul ascends into the clouds.
^6 The  adult  version is less animated with various sections of a body
^6being  added  to the noose to make up a hanged man as you get letters
^6wrong.
^6 A  version  of  Hangman  that  will  appeal to those who like a more
^6`sinister' feel to their games!

^6 This  is  another favourite type of game - a version of pairs.  This
^6one is well presented with a wide choice of cards the program can use
^6to  play  with.   This  can  be a 1 or 2 player game, if you play the
^6computer  you  can even choose the amount of moves allowed.  There is
^6also a choice of 18 or 32 cards which means that you can have a quick
^6or a longer game.

^7                            By JIM CAMPEY

^6 This  is  Jim's  first  full game and believe me, it looks and plays
^6really  well.  It is based on the 20 Questions quiz show and you have
^6to guess a word from a given catagory by choosing from a choice of 20
^6clues.   The  game  is  for  up to four players and the aim is to get
^6around  the  game board, your score is decided by the number of clues
^6you used to get the answer.  There is a wickedly fast timer, but this
^6can  be  stopped  by  starting to type your guess.  This game is well
^6presented and will give hours of fun.  Recommended.

^7                      MUNCHMAN    By STEVEN EABORN

^6 Sky  Chaser is a new slant on an old favourite game.  It is based on
^6pacman,  but  instead  of pacmen you have spaceships!  It's very good
^6and adds variety to this type of game.
^6 Rattlesnake is a helicopter Blast'em Up. You control the helicopters
^6with  joysticks  and  can blast each other away as well as picking up
^6points  for  hitting  other  targets.  The graphics on this are great
^6with  little  trains  moving  across the screen every now and then as
^6well as little touches which make this a nice game.
^6 Munchman  completes  this  trio  of  games.   It's a good version of
^6Pacman  and  plays  well.   This  version will bring back memories of
^6computer that have gone before the mighty Amiga!
^6 This  is  a  value  for  money  disk as not only do you get runnable
^6versions of the games, but the sourcecode as well.

^6 Roger  first  gave  us one of our favourite PD games, Crossfire (APD
^6110)  now  he  has  our  kids  hooked  on this game - Demon's Domain!
^6Although  it's  not  graphically superb (good tho') it has kept three
^6kids going for hours.  The main screen is a maze and you are stuck in
^6the  middle.   The  way  out  looks  easy,  you  just  walk along the
^6spiralling path to the exit - but no!  At every bend you bump into an
^6invisible  switch  which transports you to a mini game which you have
^6to complete in order to get farther along the path.
^6 There  are  7  gamelettes  which  are called at random, so you get a
^6different feel to each game.  These games include a car race, dodging
^6the  arrows like Indiana Jones, one where you you are tied to a block
^6and  to  prevent  getting  squished you have a set number of tries at
^6guessing a  letter.   Another is a minefield game and there is also a
^6centipede  game,  the  last  two  I  have yet to see as I thought I'd
^6better stop playing and get back to work!
^6 Another  disk  worth  getting  -  simply  presented  but  very, very
^6addictive!

^6 Luke  has  sent  in  source  code  for  this  car  race  game  which
^6unfortunately  took  up  so  much disk space that it couldn't be made
^6runnable!   Well worth getting and playing.  I must admit that I'm no
^6good  at this type of game, but at least I got the car to move around
^6the track!  Recommended.

^6 A  demo  by  Quatos  which  starts off with a view of a radar screen
^6which  goes  away  once a `blip' reaches the centre.  This demo shows
^6plasma  effects,  3-D  vectors,  music  with  disco-effects  such  as
^6flashing lights and vu metres plus more.  Nice demo.

^6 This program is what you could call a `keyboard similator' as it has
^6the  features  found on electronic keyboards.  There is a wide choice
^6of  instruments  and  rhythms  selected from panels at the top of the
^6screen, the control options are in the middle and here you can decide
^6on  the  tempo,  rhythm  volume, whether you'd like vu meter bars, if
^6you'd  like  the  notes to be named on the keyboard and even if you'd
^6like  a  finger  to  press  the  keys for you!  The music is actually
^6played  by  using the Amiga's keyboard, as in Sound Tracker.  Perhaps
^6later  versions  will  include  a  load and save tune facility.  Nice
^6music program.

^6 This  is  a  long  awaited  demo  from Shockwave AKA Nick Simpson of
^6Hanissis  V  fame.   This  is a demo which is worth a look if you are
^6into the demo scene.  It contains some interesting scroller effects -
^6one  takes  the  text around the screen, one that is called curvy and
^6makes  the text look wavy and bouncy and a sinewave scroller which is
^6really smooth.  There's a big wavy `Cubic' logo, pixel dots, pics and
^6even  a  chess  floor  which  can  be  controlled  with  a joystick -
^6excellent.   It  concludes  with mind-blowing colour circles.  A must
^6for you demo people!
