^4 To  set  the  record  straight, The Amos PD Library has a general PD
^4section  which  stocks  all kinds of Public Domain Software.  Some of
^4this  has  been  written with Amos, they are put into this section of
^4the  library  because  the  programmer doesn't wish to provide source
^4code  for one reason or another.  (sometimes, there just isn't room!)
^4This  part  of  the library is in no way inferior to the APD section,
^4its just to let you know that the programs do not have Amos source on
^4the disk.

^4 These  disks  were  numbered  DV  - (DEJA VU) now they will have the
^4prefix  GPD  (GENERAL  PD) The numbers remain the same as the DV's if
^4you have a catalogue which was updated before 25th June 1992.

^4 There are now 410 disks in the APD section and 130 in the GPD's.

^4 Remember you can update your catalogue for just 75p P&P included!!

^4 This  is  a  Tetris  Type  game  which has had a great review in the
^4latest  edition  of  PUBLIC DOMAIN Magazine.  It's the nicest looking
^4game of this type I've seen!

^4 This  can  be  a  1  or  2 player game, the screen is displayed as a
^4castle  with  3 turrets, the game fields are inbetween these.  In the
^4single player game the right hand playing area is used to display the
^4blocks used.

^4 The  gameplay  is  nice  and  easy - great for me, but not for speed
^4freaks.   I'd  say  that  it is a great buy for those who have always
^4wanted  to learn how to play Tetris, but have felt intimidated by the
^4sheer skill and speed needed to play the game.

^4 It's  not  all  plain sailing tho'...  in the later levels there are
^4bricks  already  placed  on  the screen for you to eliminate, and the
^4game speeds up a bit.

^4 This  program  has  the  added little touches that make it stand out
^4from the rest.

^41...  It bears no resemblence to Workbench 2!

^42...  The display is an original concept

^43...  There are two little doors at the top of the central turret one
^4of these open for each player when the game starts.  Inside each door
^4is  a little man who dances around and gets cheesed off when the game
^4is on `pause'.  - That's the sort of thing that makes a game a joy to
^4play and will catch the eye of those of us who spend hours looking at
^4submissions for Libraries or TA!  (Hint)

^44...   It  will  appeal  to  younger  players  as  well  as the older
^4beginners  amongst  us!   This is praise, not criticism!  It can take
^4more  skill to make a game suit a learner than one for an experienced
^4joystick wizard!

^3             WELL DONE ANDY, may you program many more!!

^2 This is another program which was reviewed in the latest Public
^2Domain Magazine.

^2 This allows you to load in sampled sounds and mess around with them
^2to your hearts content.

^2 This program was written in a mixture of Amos and Machine code. The
^2machine code was essential for speed, as the author found out, Amos
^2can take too long performing some of the operations he needed. 

^2 If you've always wanted Audiomaster or similar, but couldn't afford
^2it, then this is for you! It does everything needed to edit samples
^2from cutting and pasting bits together, to adding weird effects. The
^2specials effects are in pull down menus and most of these are
^2variable in effect so you wll be able to create loads of different
^2sounds from the same sample.

^2 There is a whole bank of icons for you to click on which control the
^2main operations. The disk is well documented and even if you do not
^2own a sound sampler to sample sounds, you can have lots of fun using
^2one of the many PD Sample disks available.

^2 It really is easy to use too! I've never tried to do anything like
^2this before, but it only took a couple of minutes to get it going. 

^2  I'd put this one high on the list of `musts' for programmers. Very
^2Highly recommended.
