IT'S SHOW TIME = 

"me fifth International 16 Bit Computer 

Show will take place at the Wembley 

Exhibition Centre between the 14th 

and 16th of February, 1992. All 

aspects of the Amiga will be covered, 

jnclyding business, education, DTP 

and, of course, entertainment. If the 

attendance at the recent Earls Court 

Show is anything to go by tickets 

should be booked early and all enquiries can be directed towards Westminster 

Exhibitions Ltd, Surrey House, 34 Eden Street KT1 1ER. Tel: 081 549 3444. CU 

Amiga will have a stand at the show, so if you want to have a chat, shows us some 

of your work or discuss the magazine, please drop by and say heilo. 





THREE FROM ONE 



21st Century Entertainment hava three inter- 
esting products in the pipe line. Rubicon, a 
fast action shoot am up. boasts some 
absorbing game-play and equally attractive 
graphics, whilst D^tiveranceioWo^B on from 
the success of C/fte^rnoitf and Stormford. 
Having undergone a complete redesign for 
the 16-bit version, 21st Century nope to pro- 
vide an exciting mixture of fls/fiarafl-style 
hack n'slash and arcade-style monster 



graphics. Console-style gaming coupled with 
platform action make this a promising pro- 
ject. Perhaps the most exciting is their 
proposed Pinbail game. Although in its early 
stages, the finished product will incorporate 
all the features you'd expect to find or one of 
the more conventional arcade machines. 
There should also be a facility that will allow 
you to create your own table - now that 
would be something] 



EAST MEETS 
WEST 

Commodore have announced a link-up 
with two top Japanese companies in a bid 
to promote the emerging CDTV, The main 
players are Mitsui and Co and the Dai- 
Nippon Printing Company, one ol Japan's 
largest industrial combines. The consor- 
tium will develop new titles, including top 
motion picture licenses. More than 100 
CDTV titles are already on sale with more 
titles lined up for the new year.

ADVANTAGE TENNIS irfrogrames 

have a tasty looking tennis game waiting for release. 
As you'd expect, the game is bursting with options 
and tournaments with the usual choice of venues and 
playing surfaces, but what makes this tennis game 
different is the use of what look like pipe-cleaner 
sprites. Don't be put off, though, because the anima- 
tion that's gone into ths players is phenomenal. If you can picture the character from 
Prince ofP&fsia in a Fred Pen7 shirt and shorts you'd be pretty dose, A whole arse- 
nal of shots are availabie including a speoial through -the -legs shot. Be warned, 
however, as your player is sometimes prone to throw a tantrum or two. 
CHAMPIOIIS There are sporting games everywhere this month and 

Krisalis have decided to add their own contribution 
to the Festive hamper. Champions is a three game 
compilation including the recent Jahangir Khan 
World Champiorishtp Squash game, the original 
Manchester L^fi/fetf football game and Wodd 
Championship Boxing Manager which received a 
CU Screen Star when first released. If you Ve been 
clever and have kept up to date with these releases 
in our magazine, you'll be a We to make your own 
mind up, but as far as we're rancemed the boxed 
set looks like being a winner GREAT 
NAPOLEONIC BATTLES strategy 
specialists, Impressions, are to release a game 
set during the Mapoleonic Wars. Scenarios 
include the battle of Waterloo (which ended 
Napoleon's career), Quafi'e Bras/Ligny and 

Bonaparte s first great victory at Marengo. The title also includes a map editor, man 
editor and war editor so that the game can be customised to your own needs. 

CAVItAS Nite Time Games are set to 
release their first game in January. Caviias is a 
six-fevel shoot em up adventure set deep 
beneath a planet's surface. Stumbling across 
signs of an ancfent CFviiisation, in the form of 
some abandoned mining machinery, it's up to 
you to explore the deep and cavernous under- 
ground caverns. Your team of hand-picked men 
encounter all kinds of beaste and can easily get 
tost in the maze-like passageways which require 
a subtle blend of puzzle- solving and brute force 
to circumvent. BLACK CRYPT More 
RPG escapades are on their way from Electronic 
Arts in the form of their new game, Black Crypt 
The programmers behind the lantasy adventure 
want us to think of it as more of a dungeon simu- 
lator that'll give a player the impression of walking through a multi- level dungeon. All 
combat is animated on-screen as are al! the spells and actions of your character. 
The usual assortment of tricks and traps are inoorporated plus a novel twist that 
allows the monsters to learn certain spells and give you a taste of your own 
medicine. The visual aspects of the game are very detailed and this could be a con- 
tender for the RPG crown.

SB 



The Nyw Year will be a hive Df activity (or sports fans. h4oi onl^ will ihe European

gamie? Ever^ aspecl of willow beating is 
■^- -^ included and you can choose to represent 
one of nii^e world class sides. One ot the 
hardest things to simulate in cricketing

appeals for LBW will fall on deaf ears. How 
the game will fair against Audiogenic's C3raham Gooch license is anybody's 
guess, so watch out tor reviews of both games nexi month.

NEW AMIGA 

It^s rumoured that CommiKlore 
are planning an extension to 
tKeir Amiga range of ci[pm|iijter$ 
in mn attempt to tackle the 
console market. High on the list 
of possibilities is the A300, 
which would incorporate some 
very special new innards and a 
reduoed keyboard. The A300 
would probably retail at 
betweeti £250 and £300 pounds 
and could spark a frantic new 
round of price cuts across the 
board. Frem Switzerlandi 
there's also unconfirmed 
mmiHirs of an A4000 and well 
bring you more news as and 
when Commodore release it* 



SENSIBLE CHOICE

Mev Dine, stiil besking in the briliiant 
reviews for his First Samurai be^t

than Gremlin's ultra-slick Super Cars 
More news as we get it 



r K LJJ L Aw- I r K V^J t I citizen have added another printer 
to their ever expanding range. The PROjet has three print speeds, with the 
fastest b^ing 360 cps, and three resident fonts; Courier. Times Nordic and 
Letter Gothic. The machine is capable of landscape and portrait printing and 
features an easy-to-use control paneL The basic printer weighs in at £496, but 
with accessories the totasi cost could be over £700. 



CHIPS AHOY! Pu.h. 

to our story last month concerning Ocean s new 
pirate-beating software protection system, we can 
now reveal that the device, known to many as the 
'dongle', will be shipped out with every version of 
Hoixjcop 3^ The key plugs directly into a joystick 
port and without it the game will not run. The don- 
gle' is basically a PCB witii a chip. Games can be 
copied as normal, but all copies will have to run 
with the extra device plugged into the back of the 
Amiga. However, this news is not only bad for 
pirates, but responsible gamers, too. Unless some- 
thing else can be done to replace the used up 2nd 
port it couW spell the end for simultaneous two- 
player garner forever, Also^ if this system is taken 
up by other software houses every single 'dongle' 
will have to be different for each new game 
released and someonep somewhere, will have to foot the bill. And we all know who 
that'll be, don't we punters! The companies have always maintained that the main 
reason for exorbitant prices has been due to the losses made from pirating. With 
piracy defeated, will prices now start to come down? We can only wait and see.

ON YOURDISKS 



AS our disks reach 
their quarter-cen- 
tury we've got 
two contenders for 
the Christmas 
Number One spot - 
Ocean's Space Gun 
and Storm's Big Run 
as well as a fistful of 
useful utilities and 
brilliant programs. 
Simply insert the disk 
into your Amiga's 
drive and it will auto- 
boot to reveal a 
menu. Simply select 
which demo you want 
to play with the rele- 
vant 'F' key and 
you're away... 

All the programs on 
these two disks will 
work on the new 
A500 Plus - 
Guaranteed! 



SRACE GUN 

step into the combat boots of an intergalac- 

tic Marine on the mission ot a iifatima. A 

signal has been received 

from a colonised basa 

regarding an invasion by a 

race of hostile creatures, 

but since this was received 

nothing more has been 

heard. TTiljs, equipped 

with the iatest in 

weaponry, you have been 

sent to investigate and 

destroy any hostiie forces. 

0\ir Space Gund^mi) 
featones a complete iavel 
from Ocean's conversion 
oftheTaito coin-op, and 
gjves a taste of what to 
expect in the final version. 
The game is a variant on 
the Operation Thmderbolt 
theme^ with the base's 
many corridors twisting 
and turning as you make 
your way through the 
base. The mouse is used 
to control the game, with 
the left button sending a 
stream offire into the 
screen. Tliehostiiities 
begin as soon as the 
Aliens start appearing, and 
these must be blown apart 
before tbey can reach you 
Whenever an Alien gets 
too ciose, scratch or bite 
marks wiil appear on the 
screen, indicating that you 
have taken a hit and your 
energy wiil be depleted 
slightly as a result. 

As the piay area is 
scroiied, care must be 
taken not to hit any of the 
colonists who make a 
break for cover, as killing 
ttiese unfortunates resuits 
in a premature endmg to your mission. 
However, to make your unenviable bug hunt 
a little easier, packing crates often contain 
extra supplies for your gun, including fire- 
bom bs, freeze grenades ^ and smart bombs, 
whici) are stored for iater use. The left Amiga 
key is used to switch between the stored 
weaponSp with the on-screen target changing 
to indicate which Is currentiy in use. So. get 
ready for battie...

across a series of torturous routes in a des- 
perate race against tlie clock. The scene is 
the Paris-Dakar Rally, with the player coming 
up against aN kinds of adverse conditions as 
tfiey speed towards each check point. 

Our demo contains a section of the desert 
lEvel. but the basic aim remains the same. 
The joystick is used to control the car, with 
the left and right controls steering the vehi- 
cle, with the fire button llooring the 
accelerator As progress is made, the road 
will start to wind to the left m6 right, and 
leaving the lighter trail will slow your 
progress considerably. In addition, contact 
with any roadside objects should be avoided 
at all costs, as should the speed -reducing

It to: CU DISK RETURNS. PC Wise

that you Ve just loaded, then go to the Anim 
menu and select Frames/Set #. When the 
requester appears type in 100 and press 
return. 

2. Mow load the anim. brush that you cre- 
ated earlier via the Anim/Anim Brush nnenu. 

3. Position the anim. brush at tha right- 
hand edge of the screen so that the zebra's 
snout is just touching the border, then press 
the left mouse button once to paint it onto 
the screen. 

4. Select the Move requester from the 
Anim menu and set the X-Di stance to 1000, 
andtheZ-distanceto-2000. 

5. Ensure that Count is set to 100, the 
play direction is forward, and that the 
method is set to Draw (the t^all with an arrow 
pointing to it). 

6. Select Draw and the computer will 
automatically animate the zebra. 

There are two ways to add a background 
picture: you can either load one before you 
set the number of frames or draw one on the 
spare screen (accessed by pressing 'J\ then 
picking the picture up as a brush and defin- 
ing it as a fill pattern). 

Incidentally, you'll notice that the zebra 
only uses eight coiours from a possible 
patette of sixteen. This allows you to use the 
other colours for your own use. To make 
things easier still, the colours used by the 
zebra are all adjacent to each other fn the 
palette. 

If you require more than siKteen colours, 
set the required number from the 
Project/Screen Format menu before you 
begin creating an animation. When you've 



REAL rmiies demo 

On Dur second packed disk, we've got a won- 
derful demo from RGB Studios' new Rmt 
7/!/fTg5 collection. 

By pressing F1 you can see a sample ani- 
mation taken from the Sa&/^coliection. This 
demo has been saved in the Anim. format so 
you can easily load it into D-Paim!!lor fV 
and adapt it for your own use. At the top left 
of the animation the current frame number 
flashes past as each of the ten frames are 
played. If you want to incorporate the anima- 
tion into your own creations, youll first have 
to convert it into an anim. brush: 

1 . Load D- Paint and select Load from the 
Anim menu. 

2. Insert the cover disk and select the file 
calfed Zebra.anim. then click on OK to load 
the animation, 

3 Once the animation has loaded, select 
Pick Up from the Anim Brush sub-menu. 

4. Draw an outline around the Zebra start- 
ing from the top (eft hand corner and 
extending to the bottom right of the screen. 

YouVe now defined the anim brush, so 

save it for future use via the Save option of 
the Anim Brush menu 

To demonstrate how powerful these 
anim. brushes can be, well create a 100 
frame animation in which the zebra appears 
to canter into the distance; 

1 . Start by deleting the zebra animation 




Please 
note that, 
due to the 
size of the 
demo, we 
have been unable to 

squeeze any sound into the Big Run demo, 
hut the final version will feature a storming 
soundtrack and suitably loud sound effects. 
Until then, though, you'll have to put some 
suitably racy music on in the background! 



LOADING YOUR DISKS 

Bath disks boot automatically from the internal drive. Disk 20

it's loaded, kill the tune by pressing the right mouse button then 

press the function key of your choice to load a program. To load

loaded the anim.brysh select 
Project/CdlDurs/Fmrn Brosh^ and the brush 
colours will be combined with yoyr new 
palette. 

As you can see. Real Things are incredi- 
bly versatile, and can help create inn:pressive 
wild life animations. The zebra included here 
is just one of eleven different animals lav- 
ing ly reproduced across eighteen animations 
on the Safari disks. Read the full review of

SCREEN OF THi MONTH 

This mor^th's winner hails from Sweden. 
Mikael R aim's superb 3 2- col our lo-res pic- 
ture is appropriately titled, ^Dawn of the 
6argoyle\ It's just one of several excellent 
illustrations Mikael sent us and for his 
efforts a one-year subscription is winging its 
way to him. 



TUNE OF THE MONTH 

Nico Arianoutsos of Spain has come up with 
a truly inspirational tune. His seven minute 
masterpiece demonstrates that although 
sampled beats can enhance the sound of a 
tune, it's perfectly possible to create profes- 
sional drum and melody tracks using single 
instruments. One of the most creative tunes 
weVe heard in a while. Wei! done, Nico. 

TUNING INTO SUCCESS 

For those of you Ihinicitig atiout entering a 
cuprnpositjofi foi out Tune of the Month 
spot, here are some simple geidelifies to 
hflp increase your chances nf winning: 

1. Try to ktip tunes below 100k in srzt. 

2. Only tunes submitted as modules will 
be considered. 

3. If peYe going to i}s« an otecur^ 
music package, please include the module 
player as well as your tune. 

4. Don't try plotting clever loaders on 
your disks. I load everything into a sififlle 
module player when judging the tunes, and 
nofl-Dos disks get ignored straight away. 

5. Ut's have some euti les which aren't 
house or acid music. What ah nut classical 
01 good nv floDk 'n' Roll? 

6. Don't rename all of your instruments 
so that they spell out messages or 
addresses etc. I like tu know what you're 
working with so that I can assess how well 
you've done- 

Also. please write your name and 
address in capitals on each disk. You'd be 
surprised at how many people forget to do 
such 9 simple thing. 




POWERPACKER 2.3B 

When disk space is tight, PowerpackerMp^ 
squeeze on those few extra bytes of informa- 
tion It performs special compression 
algorithms on any files, and can reduce their 
size by up to 50%, There are full documents 
on the disk, but here's a few tips to get you 
started: 

Powerpsckerl^ capable of compressing two 
types of file: executable/ mnnahle pmgrams 
and data files. Executable programs are those 
which load by simply typing their name from 
CLI, and includes things such as most C direc- 
tor^f commands, D-Paint^Vc. Data files are 
simply lists of binary data such as D-Pmt 
screens, word proces&or saves etc 

Before you can com pre &s a file you must t&li 
Powerpacker which type you^re trying to 
crunch. This is done via th& Prefs menu, where 
you can specify Co mm and or Data File. 

Also in the Prefs menu is the Efficiency 
option where you can specify how much 
compression Powerpackef m^n]pts to gen- 
erate. Although Best results in the highest 
compression rates, it also takes the longest 
time to perform. 

For most purposes, this is all you'll need 
to know. Just load a tile and it will automati- 
cally be compressed. When it's finished 
processing a file, PowBrpacker^me^ how 
much compression it's achieved. 11 you're 
satisfied, you can save the file, which auto- 
matically has the characters .pp added to the 
end of the file name. 

Powerpackerc^ri aiso be used for decom- 
pressing files which have already been 
processed previously. Many of the menu 
options will be of little interest to casual 
users, but they are fully explair^ed in the don:- 
uments which can be accessed via the Cover 
disk does menu (F9}.

LONGSAMPLE 

This easy to use program enables the user to 
create an auto- booting disk, complete with 
two-colouf intfo picture, which plays consec- 
utive samples straight from disk. 
Furthermore, it plays them so quickly after 
each other, that they can appear to be one 
continuous tune if they're sampled carefully 
enough. 

All you need is a selection of samples, a 
Nank, formatted disk and a two-colour jntro 
screen (fo-res). Once Longsampte has loaded, 
select ^Wrjte Boot/Own Boot' from the Disk 
menu. At tlie file-name prompt type LSBoot 
and press return. After a few moments the 
tK30t will have loaded and youll be prompted 
to insert your blank disk. If you Ve correctly 
followed the on-screen prompts, the boot will 
be installed on your disk. 

Select Write Graphics' from the Disk 
menu. This will write the picture to your sam- 
ple disk. 

All that remains is to add the samples 
themselves, which is done by selecting Write 
Samples' from the Disk menu. This time 
you'lf be prompted to enter the name of a 
sample, which wilf be loaded into memory. 
The computer will continue to request sam- 
ple names until it has enough to write to the 
disk. This may take some time so be pre- 
pared! Once it has enough samples, itll 
request your demo dfsk to write the samples 
onto, ff there's still space left on the disk, it 
may return to the sample loading stage, 
where you'll be prompted for yet more sam- 
ple names until the disk is full. 

Once all of the samples are on the disk, 
it's ready. Just reset your Amiga, insert the 
disk and it should play all of the samples for 
you. Incidentally, Longsampte oan only han- 
dle samples which are tuned to middle C, or 
have a period of 428. Read the documenta- 
tion for more details. 



CRYPWrOR 

If you have ambitions to be a spy. or simply 
have data which you need to keep from pry- 
ing eyes, Cryptatoft for you. It encrypts any 
ffle you care to gi we it, in such a way that it 
can onty be decoded using the password that 
you define. 

It's simplicity itself to use: type C then 
Return to code a file. At the prompts enter 
the name of the file to encrypt, the code word 
to use. and the name that you want the file 
saved under. Cryptator^Wl do the rest To 
decode a file, you foflow exactly the sanr^e 
procedure. Crw?f3for automatically detects if 
a file is encrypted or not. 

RETCHA-5KETCH 

This just-for-fun program takes you back to 
the days when loon pants were all the rage, 
yoM could still win a Gonk at the fair and 
everyone owned an Etch-a-sketch board. 

This tribute to those heady bygone days 
faithfully reproduces the Etch-a-sketch 
machine which was so popular Simply press 
fire to begin, then, using the joystick, draw to 
your heart's content. It may seem primitive, 
but it's ideal for younger children and, don't 
forget, you re reliving history! Incidentally, 
once the screen becomes too messy, press- 
ing fire will clean it up for you. Vou don't 
have to shake the monitor! 

KEYMAP ED 

Some time ago a utility called Setkeyms 
released which allowed the user to define 
their own key maps for use in menus or pro- 
grams. Unfortunately, the program had one 
major bug which defeated a lot of users. 
Ksym^p is an updated program which per- 
forms the same function, minus the bugs! 

As you load up. a requester appears which 
offers the user the opportunity to load a 
key map. If you select GB, youll have the 



opportunity to see the keymap used for the 
Coverdisk menu. Once it's loaded, you'll be 
presented with a picture representing the 
keyboard. If youVe using a European Amiga, 
you should immediately set the keyboard to ■ 
reti ect th i s via t h e Lay o ut men u . 

By clicking on the F1 key on the screen, a 
box appears showing the current definitions 
for that key. Under the section headed " 
'Alone' you'll see the following: 
clsVrppanim\x20zebra.anini\r This is the 
command seqfuence used to load and ani- 
mate the Real Things Zebra. If you were to 
type the same command from C LI it would 
look like this: CIS <return> ppanim 
Zebra.anim <retum> 

Two special character sequences are 
used in the key definition; \r which is equiva- 
lent to pressing return, and \x20 which rs 
equivilent to pressing space. 

Once a keymap is defined, it should be 
saved in the Devs/Keymaps directory from 
where it can be activated with the command 
setmap nx. (xxx is the name given to the 
keymap). There are full documents on the 
disk, and you Ye advised to read them before 
you attempt to create too many key maps. 

FONTS 

The final tools on the disk are twelve superb 
fonts which can be used with any graphics 
package. 

They're located in the Fonts directory, 
and can be accessed directly with D-P3int III 
and M/. If your art package doesn't allow you 
to load additional fonts, simply go into CLl 
before you load your package and type 
Assign Fonts; CU241 :Fonts. When you pro- 
ceed to load the package, it should 
automatically request the CU coverdisk for 
all of its fonts.

OPEN LETTER 





It's not often that CU Amiga gives its dearly beioved pages to guest 
writers - but what better way to see in the New Year, and the sale of 
80, 000 new Amigas than an address by Commodore MD, $teve Franiclin? 

Hi 



l^^^hristmas may well be over for 
'B^another year, but there is one 
^^more celebration left before the 
new year takes hold. One more celebration, 
that IS, for Amiga owners as their numbers 
pass the one million mark in the UK, and 
1992 is set to be a magical year for the 
Amiga. Most ot this magic will stem from 
hard work which went into-lasl year, which 
saw major landmarks established: the 
launch of the Amiga CD-TV, the new Amfga 
500 P, and the Amiga's unquestioned domi- 
nance of the home computer market. 

The most tangible proof of this domi- 
nance lies with the Christmas poll of fifty 
top inctependent computer retailers. When 
asked what they thought would be the 
biggest soiling computer this Christmas, an 
astonishing 96% replied in favour of the 
Amiga - the remaining: 4% plumped for the 
C64. All this success means more choice 
for Amiga owners, more software, peripher- 
als, sales outlets, and innovation. Already 
established as the first choice for publish- 



ers. Amiga titles will continue to be brought 
to market first, benefiting from development 
on and (or the Amiga. These developments 
will then be passed on - as witnessed by 
the introduction of the A500P in October 
last year. As the first major revision of the 
Operating System tor three years ^ the 
specuialion over incompatible software has 
proved totally unfounded 

All major software publishers endorse 
tm new format, and have been developing 
software for the new machine for the past 
18 months- In fact, the only people to have 
been less than impressed' with the new 
Amiga were those with stocks of delisted 
and old budget games on their hands. No 
compatibility probSems exist with either cur- 
rent or future releases; indeed virtually all 
full-price software available now is fully 
supported - but if you have any doubts then 
check with your dealer first. The benefits of 
the new OS have been well -documented in 
magazines such as CU Amiga In essence, 
the key benefits are in better display resolu- 



tion and the improved productivity users 

can expect 

The rea&ons these issues are important 
lies in the way the Amiga is now used. 
Professionally, Amigas are pioneering the 
market for multimedia, and are becoming 
accepted as a high quality workstation, set- 
ting the standards for professional music 
and video production for some years to 
come. Clearly, the Amiga is not a toy. 
We're proud that it i? universally heralded 
as the best games computer - but ttiat"s 
only where the story starts. Some PC ana- 
lysts have long dismissed the Amiga - but 
now with Workbench 2.0. the Amiga stands 
favourably on its own against any other 
rival PC. Similarly, the strength of the 
Amiga in the home has a major roie to play 
In education. Schools and colleges in 
Britain and around the world appreciate 
that the Amiga is the computer that is most 
commonly used in tvomes, and is the com- 
puter pupils and students most want to 
own. Jn fact, the analysts who once 




dismissed the Amiga now recognise 
Commodore's contribution in providing the 
most effective multimedia platlorm avail- 
able today. As the multimedia market takes 
shape it is dear that the Amiga will have a 
leading role to play. No other computer 
matches its capabilities -video, sound, 
graphics, photography, and database nnan- 
agement are all placed al the f mgertips ot 

the user, 

In developing applications and m using 
multimedia, the Amiga is at the forefront - 
position which was underlined when the 
CD-TV was launched to a packed and 
expectant audience in spring. Commodore 
have taken on the giants of eleclTonics and 
won the battle to develop the world's first 
interactive multimedia player. Even for a 
company like Commodore, the CDTV is 
radically new and exciting. Its potential 
exceeds any of our past innovations. With 
ihe PET in 1975, Commodore invented the 
PC the VIC20 was the first colour home 
coriiputer, and the C64 remains the world's 
most popular computer. The CD-TV, 
though, is something rather difierent. 

It is different because it can touch and 
change all our lives - whenever and what- 
ever you do. Learning beoomes fun and 
entedainmem takes on a new dimension - 



wh ich i s exactly what the Amiga f I rst 
promised in 1985 when it was launched by 
Andy Warhol and Blondie's Debbie Harry. 
The CD-TV removes the limitations of the 
computer: a single CD offers the equivalent 
of over 700 floppy disks - enough informa- 
tion to hold the entire UK telephone 
directory. Imagine what the worlds leading 
software developers are aeating now the 
barrier of floppy disks has gone. 

All this is with a player that lives quite 
comfortably under the television, and has a 
remote control with fewer buttons than the 
average TV set. What's more, this media is 
also to be available for all Amiga 500 own- 
ers with the A690 CO-ROM drive. Not only 
does the A690 transform the Amiga into the 
ultimate games platform, but it also trans- 
forms the way in which the technology can 
be used. Additionally, as a standard CD 
player, the CD-TV and the A690 not only 
play hifi quality music, but add graphics and 
other value. As record companies realise 
the medium can do both CD and G+CD, 
MIDI will become commonplace, and I 
believe that the CD-TV will become the 
musician's favourite • techniques, such as 
sampling will 'become much easier and 
MIDI In and Out lervds itself to that maivel- 
lously. 



This newly-launched system offers an 
amazing option for users to actually remove 
drums, guitars or keyboards from records 
so you can 'play along with the band\ This, 
and this and the ability to play games with 
CD-qualiiy sound is an incredible achieve- 
ment. With other areas, such as the 
Guinness Book Of Records and Trivial 
Pursuit greatly expanded for the CD 
medium, followed by another 200 titles ■ 
perhaps now you can see why 1992 will be 
a magical year for the Amiga. 
Many ttwnfci to Sle»e lor IiIe peisonal opinifrns. Mil 
commtiiis snoBlii be posted to our lellors page, BocfctW.

"91 ROUND UP 






ALL ABOARD! Tonenhamwon 

the F.A. Cup, Maggie Thatcher was booted out 
of number 1 0, Terry Waits was released after 
five years captivity and Oce^n almost got Epic in 
the shops! Almost. All in all. things have never 
bser better on the Amiga front witti a consistent 
run ottop class games and utilities filtering 
through every month. Anyone who saw last 
month's CU Aniige can testily to that as no less 
than 12 awards were given for excellence. But 
as we all know opinions vary and wJiafs one 
mans meat is another man's suicidal software 
from hell There are some things, however, that 
you just cant argue ah out.. 

IN-SPEC-TION If there's one thing 

that cajR he said for the Amiga in 1 990, it's that 
it came into its own After dithering with the ST 
in the mid-price bracket, it shook off Atari's 
competition by mahifig the break every one 
wanted it to do. By making 1 Mb of memory a 
standard, Commodore pleased virtually every- 
one who has anything to do with the machines. 
Game and hardware manufacturers had more to 
play with, and as a result the machine moved up 
from its superior 16-bit position to the industiv 
standard, with its technical and software sup- 
port expanding across a wider range. As a 
resultp the seriDus software scene has expanded 
ten-fold. with a number of high quality and 
sophisticated packages now available tor virtu- 
ally any application. 

ABOUT TIME TOO At long last. 

seriously hot coders are writing some really cre- 
ative stuff for the machine. The two worlds of 
music and graphics have been blessed with^ 
software that would convert the most dedicated 
IBM groupie over to the Amiga. The expanding 
Amiga user base has been the major catalyst for 
all this development, but technological advances 
have also brought the cost of it all down, A few 
years back even basic Genlocks wouM have 
cost about three times as much as they are 
now. In fact its in the area of Video and 'True- 
Colour' graphics that some of the most 
impressive ctianges have occurred. All this is 
good news for the Amiga's entry and position in 
the professional broadcast and video world. 
Ami gas equipped with 24-bit colour cards are 
being used by TV stations in eveiy country of 
the worlds especially in the Third World and 
Middle East where their cost effectivness have 
fended off the competition from the Apple Mac 
and IBM video solutions. 

ON TV On the domestic side, we have all 

seen Catch Phrase and the Chart Show's inno- 
vative use of real-time Amiga graphics. Also, the 



24 



1991 promised to be a great year. Twenty-four- 
bit colour, god-sims such as Mega-lo-Mania. . . it 
sometimes seemed we were spoiled rotten - but 
what was hot and what - indeed - was rot?

MSS THE POltr-OVER,„ 

On the whole, 1991 was quite a good year for 
Amiga game players, too. and the piagiie of 
games copied directly from the inferior Atari ST 
that made up the bulk of 1990^s reJeases have 
now pretty much dried up. paving the way for 
games such as HeimdaHButi Z-Ou? which are 
written on the Amiga to make the most ot the 
machine's many capabilfties. However, there 
still seems to be a tendency to concentrate on 
the look of the game rather than the playability. 
and after a few breaks with this tradition in the 
shape of M.U.D£, Car-Vupmti Rodtam, we 
seem to have got stuck in afresh rut of film and 
coin- op Hcences agajo. Let's just hope that 
potentially hot licences as neAddams Family 
and Batman //aren't wasted. One of the most 
escciting prospects of the last year, though, was 
the release and announcement of several old 
classics from dead and buried computers mak- 
ing their Amiga debut. H&^d Ov^r Meets m$ the 
perfect example of this, and there are still 
dozens ot games r^stii^g in Ocean's, U.S. Gold's 
and assorted other software houses' back cata- 
bgues that are just ripe lor plundering. 

SIM CITTT One of the most memorable 
games was Speedb^tt // whpch, in our book, is 
the best thing to hail from development team. 
The Bitmaps Brothers' stebJe. It took the the 
first Speedbaft^nd expanded it in every conceiv- 
able area, yet didn1 lose an ounce of its 
playability - in fact, it even expanded upon that, 
too. Next up. is another sports affair, too. with 
Archer Maclean's brilliant Jimmy White's 
Snooksr. This is just so playable it's incredible. 
Shoot 'em up fans were kept happy, too.wfth 
three superb blasters, namely 514^/1^ Ttirfican it 
and Z-OuL The vertically-scrolling StV/l/was 
the unotticial sequel to SiikwarmBud used the 
same load-as-you-go system for uninterrupted 
blasting. Z-Outms. the super^fast foliow-up to 
Rainbow Arts' X-Oyf and the German company 
also managed to improve the original Turrtcan 
for more all en -slaying mayhem. Originality, was 
another innovation we wenen't used to seeing, 
but Psygnosis' Lemmmg$pwved to be a world- 
wide hit combining cute graphics, an 
easy-to-use control system, and enough addic- 
tivi^to keep even the most avid puzzle and 
strategy fans happy. 

In all. '91 was quite a good year for games, 
even if we'd lika to have seen just a few more

In the realms of tht 1htnklii§ man's' game. Wltti Eye Sf Tbs BeAotof, KnlghtmrBmi F^utous 11 altain- 
ing classic siattjs almost immedlatelsf, why hawe these games suddenly taken off? 'Basically, It's bsEause 
of th^ir fleiibility,' offers BuJIfrog's head honchc, Peter MQlyneux. 'Whereas in a shqctt 'em up the pFayer 
can only control one set of actions then decide whether they can make Jt to the neit stage, in a game lilc® 
titapift or M&gS'Lo-tlanla, the game cat exist wlthoul tht player, offering t number ot other play alterna*

'and me used this concept as mych as possible in Fupui&us IL For InslaiiBe, througftout Pupuhas /f the 
player can win using a number of ideas, ^ihettier they want to destroy their way \o victory, m attain II rei- 
atlvely peacefully. It's almost certainly the open endings the game lea¥es that make them a success.' 

Another argument ts that these games offer far better valcie for the planter's muney than coin-ep liErences 
or the latest game-cf the-film. *Ves; agrees MDlyneux, 'wtien we put a game together, we want tlie per- 
son H^D's paying aut tfie tliirty quid to get good value tor money. Personally, t think th^ games are bioady 
expensJire bul I c^ii appreciate tfiat the development casts behtnd each release can bump up the price* 
HivwBver, by cj'amming as much Into our stuff as possible, we like to thiik tti^ we make cprs a worthy bufJ

'91 ROUND UP 



THE FUTURE NOW 



The best is yet to 
come^ howeverp and in 
1992 we can continue 
to expect the very 
best in games, 
graphics, video, sound 
and peripherais. CU 
dusts down its crystal 
baii and maices a few 
predictions as to next 
year's big events. . . 



SEHSIBLE SOCCER 

- Mirror toft - 

With WM/d almost out the door, 
Sensible Software are set to return to 
the genre that they revolutionised back 
in 1938. After proving their di^/ersity with 
the likes of 3D Tennis for Palace and 
Mirrorsoft s Mega-Lo-Mania. Jon Hare 
and Chris Yates are now working on a 
Footy game whioh they hope wiil punt 
Aneo's Kick Off into orbit. 

The game uses tha favoured over- 
head view, with the players kept 
deliberately tiny to optimise more anima- 
tion frames for less memoryJn addition, 
Jon and Chris have created an Intellh 
gent' control method^ where players 
behave and shoot depending on their 
proximity to the ball Also, a fornn' option 
has been included where a player's 
attributes are changed depending on 
how well they fared in past games. With 
other ideas, such as a transfer market 
still to be added, It'll be a while before 
Sensi complete the game for Minrorsoft, 
but expect it within the first quarter of 
next year. 




MRASOL smns 

- OCEAN* 

Converted from the PC Engine original, 
PafRsol Stars sees the welcome return 
of those dungaree-clad heroes. Bub and 
Bob fresh from their adventures in 
Bubble Bobble and Rainbow islands. 
The game draws its title from the 



TH E PC TH R EAT mat broohfifld dibates the ever-present rivalry * 

BETWEEN THE AMIGA AND THE MANY PCS OH THE MARKET. 

With the ST slowly liriathing its last, the Dniy real rival Ifl the AmiQa in 1992 is the ever-growing PC 
range. There are also several n3S% stories ol people perhaps abandoi^ing ihe Amiga aver the next 
year or £0 in lava or of Id e PC - so is Ihere anything lo worry about? In all lairness. no. Whilst! he PC 
Is a very capable machine. tjefDr& il can rival the Amip in terins of graphical prowess and speed, it 
must be expanded by purchasing the relevant boards. Even then, the PCs can onfjf keep up with the 
Amiga rather than surpass it. The main reason lor the PC series' success is Itiat IBM were guile sim- 
ply there first. From this early beginnings, Itiey went on to build 4Jp their present massive user-hase 
which makes the Amiga s world-wide user-base of 3 million look a bit wee. However, since the 
AniFQ^ only really stai1e[t takirtg off last year, thal's not as small as it may seem. 

When you buy an Amiga, everylhing 
you need to get started is there. The 
sound and graphic boards are tliere, the 
processor is fast enough to handle the 
mosttroublesonie of data, none of 
which can be said of the PC - not If you 
intend to slay in the same price rarrge, 
Ihat is. In addition, the Amiga's soft- 
ware support is rapidly becoming more 
adaptable and varied than the PC coun- 
terparts, with Commodare's machine 
moving into the business market with 
ease. Software also pushes the Amiga s 
hardware i^urther than ever, mVh the new 
SuperiBm package a perfect e^mple. 
This little package allows the user to 
use the Amiga's louf channel sound with 
as many samples as their memory can 
handle -try doing Ihat or* the PC! 

Basically, Ihere is nothing to be worried about. Yts, both mactiiifes will be afound In five years. 
But guess whieh one will have the most exciting software and liardware developments. 111 give you 
a clue: it begins with the litter 'A\..

Whereas Rainbow Islands saw 
them throwing Rainbows all over 
the show, in Parasol Stars they 
are armed with tiny parasol 
umbrellas with which they can 
gather objects or nasties and lob

instance, by collecting five or 
more raincfrops on their 'bro:llies\

- EA/BULLFROe. 

Fresh from the success of Populous //, 
Bulllrog are currently working on 
another isometrfc affair called Bob. 
How^ever, for those of you expecting 
another Powermong&r or Populous, 
then you're in for a shock. Once again, 
BuHlrog are giving the player rantroi 
over events wrthin ttie game, but this 
time the emphasis is on the worlds of 
big business. 

As one of a series of manufacturers 
of mind-co-ordinating silicon chips, you 
must ensure that you are the fastest- 
growing company, with continual new 
developments and ever-growing mar- 




kets. There are two ways to do this: you 
can run your business properly; by 
head-hunting and developing; or you 
can play dirty and kidnap- people's fami- 
lies to make them work for you, or send 
specially-bred mercenaries to steal the 
all-important blueprints. In a if, Bob con- 
tains 115 countries, within which there 
are 32 towns, creating a massive play 
area in the process. There's still a lot to 
do before its hopeful Summer release, 
but Bob looks like another winner for 
Bullfrog and EA. 

PAPERBOY II 
- MIHDSCAPE. 

Atari's delivery boy won a legion of fans 
in his arcade debut and subsequent 
cx)nversions. and Papertoytttske^ the 
basic idea one step further. Whereas 
the frrst game limited our hero to a one- 
way scroffmg play area, the sequel 
allows the player to choose on© of three 
routes and make his deiiveries along 
that. 

Development is primarily on ttie 
Famioan at the moment, but the Amiga 
version is already fooking up to the stan- 



;91 ROUND UR 



FUTURE TENSE... 

MAT BflOOMFIELD LOOKS FORWARD TO AN EXCITING NEW YEAR.., 

It one thing is almost certain thlA y^ar, it's that Aifiiga-r«lated prices are set 
to tak0 a tumble. With Commcidoro curr«ntlv working on more eompact cir- 
cyit boards, tb^ price for further expdnsiofi boards and accelerator boards 
should fall as well, making th$ Amiga ew#n better iialue for mon^y. In addi- 
tiohp by the end of the yearp I'd expact the CD-TV unit to b« reduced to the 
Caes mark, especially with the Imminent release of Commodore's dedicated 
CD-ROM drive. Other drives should start to appear soon, too, making them 
more affordable for the home yser, and if the likes of Ocean and U.S. Gold 
aren't already working on titlas (rumour has it that U.S. G are currently 
thinking *rf releasing Kev Dulmer's Legend Of l^aiouron tha CD format) then 
by the and of next year they almost certainly will be. After allp this could be 
the end of piracy as we know it If CD takes off. 

With Mrndscape's Mirscfe keyboard paving the way, the Amiga music 
scene is about to take off in a big, blQ way. Up until now, the ST's T^B^&0 
has reigned supreme, but two Amiga packages - Dr Ts KCS and XOIt - are 
set to knock the spots off this and any other competitors. Slmllarlyp 
altheugh I doubt that DPmint tV will be surpassed I have a feeling that sev- 
eral HAM-specialist 
graphics packages 
may hit the market, 
offering faster use of 
this multl-oolour 
mcde. Also, it's 
about time an afford- 
able Amiga Video 
Editing package hit 
the streets, but the 
aforementioned 
price reductions 
should speed this 
along. Let's hope so. 

As far as the computer itself goes, there's plenty of speculation regarding 
an A4<K}0 or a console-based Amigap but there's nothing concrete. If 
Commodore do produce an A4000 it will be aimed at the higher end of the 
market at the high^end PC-owning fringe perhaps. The console on the other 
hand Is a guile exciting idea, but only if Commodore improve on the 
Amiga's hardware to make a machine that can run Amiga games but take 
even more advanced cartridges - another way to end to piracy. If 
Comfnodore do this, then they should be able to take on the likes of the 
Famicom or the Megadrjve, both of which have specialist sprite enlarging 
and scrolling chips. PC fanatics are predicting that the introduction of con- 
soles will consign the Amiga to an education-only role. The answer to them 
is obvious; at the end of "92 you will still have in the Amiga the best mulli. 
media tool, the best music, tool, tlie best machine for programming and 
graphics^ and, most certainly, the best machine for games* 



dard of the console version. Unlike 
the first game, newspaper sub- 
scribers now line both sides of the 
street, with the player tossing the 
papers either way. Failure to keep 
a set number of clients prema^^ 
turely ends the game, as does the 
aforementioned loss of lite, but if a 
round is pulled off then a bonus 
section awaits you. Keep this up 
for a week, and you 11 be suitably 
rewarded. Expect a review of this much- 
a waited sequel some time in February.

With the Amiga gaining popuiarity all the time, 



CilJ 




07 AN 



CU has been there every step of the way. What's more, 



ACKinvainsi^' 



our growth has paraiieied that of the Amiga, too.p- 



Bi 



I el i eve it or not. CU is actually 
I reaching its 12th year in exis- 
'tence. It started life as ttie 
pamphlet- 1 ike VIC Computing in January 
1981 Co^er i ng C om modo re s 3, 5K 
baby, the magazine consisted of 
reviews, news and type- in listings for 
programs that rarely worked properly. 
Come 1 983, the VIC was dead on its 
feet, so Commodore User was bom to 
expand the magazine's coverage to 
include the new 064 and its games. 
However, something had to go and on 
dropping the VIC20 coverage, there was 
a public outcry by doomed VIC owners. 
In 1984, EMAP took over publication 
of the mag, and with its only rival, 
Newsfield's ZZap! S4 going from 
strength to strength, the first Amiga cov- 
erage was seen in the Septembers 985 
issue. However, by October 1987. 
things had started to change, and 
Commodore User now sporting a six- 
teen-page Amiga reviews supptement 
which expanded until the mag became 
CU Amiga/C64 in Feb '88, but more out- 
cry was to follow a year later when the 

C64 half was 
dropped and the 
magazine 
became the CD 




Amiga we know today. With another 
revamp following in October 1990, it 
wasn't until June last year that we made 
the break and became the Complete' 
guide to tfie Amiga, with our expanded 
pages incliuding reviews of serious prod- 
ucts, as well as the definitive games 
coverage. 

Since then, and without blowing our 
own tnjmpet too hard, weVe been the 
first to cover the likes of D Paint IV, the 
CD-TV, and the possibility of an Amiga 
cartridge (which may see the light in the 
mythical A300 console system), and by 
buying the magazine you have helped 
our sales expand so greatly that we 
even topped Media Week's (a trade 
magazine covering publishing houses) 
top twenty for year-on-year groHwth - with 
CU"s 86% growth beating the likes of 
The Clothes Show Magazine and 
Smash Hit's sister publication. Big. And 
who said that computers were a flash in 
the pan? In addition, we are now aiming 
to aid the Amiga's development with 
ideas, such as our Design An Add-On' 
feature, and we are often asked to give 
early impressions of forthcoming games 
for any faults they may have Proving 
that, as we promised, CU Amiga is at 
the forefront of the Amiga world.

TKe combination of Space Ace>style graphics and fulty interactive 

gamepiay seems an unfeasible pipe-dream. Steve 'Mince Spy' Merrett 

spolce to Readysoft about their attempt to bridge the gap... 



lAYABILtTY PLOY 



'Actually. I think that 
some of the flak we ve taken regarding 
the laser disk conversions is a little 
unjustified/ comments Ready soft's pro- 
ject leader, David Foster After all, when 
i^ou play a Dragon's Lairof Spac& Ace 
coin-op, you know what you're getting^ 
£0 why be surprised when the computer 
conversion is the same?' Was such criti- 
cism the main reason for the advent of 
Guy Spy, the first supposedly fully-inter- 
active game to emerge from their 
Canadian base? Yes. we've already 
made a name for ourselves for quality 
animation, and we wanted to try to com- 
bine this with a completely playable 
game. Hopef ufly, we II silence a few crit- 
ics along the way." 



i"HE NAME IS SPY... GUY SP^ 



Consequen- 
tly, Guy Spy is the latest hero to emerge 
from a country known for its rugged 

Lumberjacks, square- jawed Mo unties, 
and butch ice Hockey players, and 



Readysoft are claiming that it will brfdge 
the gap between full playability and their 
famed graphical finesse. They don't, 
however, consider that Guy is the fur- 
thest they can take the system. 
'Although we consider it as a large step 
forward, we have to admit that the sys- 
tem isn't totally inter activa/ Foster 
concedes, 'but, nevertheless, it is a 
rem>arkabl8 advance considering we 
aren't using CD-ROM technology: Will it 
be another 'move at the right time' job 
then? 'NOi definitely not. We've now got 
longer, more playable stages based on 
a sefies of game styles and played 
within a series of linked sequences 
rather than n on sens leaf interludes.' 

Guy himself is a marked departure 
from such reluctant/cowardly heroes as 
Dexter and Dirk The Daring, and is 
Readysoft's equivafent to James Bond, 
with deliberate Indiana Jones- style over- 
tones Typical ly^ in a scenario worthy of 
both heroes, an eviJ Germanic tycoon. 



Von Max, is currently scouring the world 

in search of a series of crystals which 
will power the Doomsday Weapon he 
has had built Before the evil genius can 
hold the world to ransom. Guy has been 
sent to thwart his plans, but Von Max is 
on to him and has left a series of hench- 
men to thwart his plans. 



SKETCHY DETAILS 



Thus, over fifteen 
action-packed stages and a number of 
game styles, Guy must battle hjs way 
across Europe in search of the elusive 
master criminal. We came up with the 
idea during one cf our planning meet- 
ings.' Foster recounts, 'and a group of 
seven or eight of us basically created 
the character and built the plot up from 
there. It was here that we decided on 
how to tackle the piay ability problem, so 
we started a few sketches and took it 
from there ' Did combining a more flexi- 
ble here cause problems with the detail 
and size of the sprites. It's certainty

more memory intensfve. but we had 
allow&d for it when we put the story- 
board together, so ir was basically just a 
matter of making sure that the actron 
flowed well.' Just how controllable is 
Guy? ^Depending on the scene, the 
player can control hrm using whatever 
options are relevant during each scene. 
For instance, rn a fight scene, he can 
perform all the usual punches, rolls and 
dodges, whilst he can also take aim and 
pick off Von Max's cronies in a shoot- 
out: 

'We've made a point of making the 
action instinctive and easy to control; he 
continues; and we'd like to think that the 
player will be able to manipulate the joy- 
stick to make Guy move in the way they 
imagine he should/ So. has combining 
more interactive sprites wfth their 
Disney-style backdrops meant that Gay 
isn't as varied as. say, Space Ace, in 
terms of the number of scenes within 
the game? it's not really fair to compare 
them/ says Foster. Yes, we have 
reduced the number of screens that Lair 
and Ace had, but most of the screens in 
those games were only on screen for 
mere seconds anyway. Jn Guy, things 
take place on a series of screens, and 
continue until the player wins through. 
However, to keep the feelfng of an inter- 
active cartoon, we've reiained key 
animated linking sequences to update 
the plot, so Guy will enter a chalet or a 
cable car ready for the next stage, or wi[l 
square up to an opponent, for instance/ 



SPRITE -LY HERO 



_ How long do the 
graphics take to prepare for such a large 
game? WelJ, it varies: we've been work- 
ing on Guy since January, but we didn't 
get anything on screen until March, Our 
team is made up of an Amiga coder and 
a trio of graplhic artists who handle the 
conversion from paper sketches to on- 
screen reality/ What problems have 
they had? "Our main one has been 
incorporating the improved gameplay, ' 
but luckify this was solved fairiy early on 
jn development, so now we're just slot- 
tirig the graphics in as theyVe needed, It 
stifl took longer than we expected, 
though.' 
The Readysoft process is. a fairly »-

*i1htn the scene (ie. walk ihrougit walls) When all this is running smoothly 
any rough edges are smoolhed and the completed scene is saved to hard disk 
tor later inclusion intc the main game. However, with graphics as intricate as

GUY SPY 

Simple one considering the comptexfty 
and detail of their games. The 68000 
coder writes the basic game routines on 
tlie Amiga for porting over to other 
macNnes such as the PC and Mac(!}. 
vtfhilst the three graphrc artists work on 
backdrops and sprites betwesn them. 
The development sketches are djgitised 
using D/gwew/and are then touclied up 
using DPaint, where further detail is 
acfded from the 1 S-colour palette. These 
are incorporated into the code a section 
at a time, and the freshly-designed 
sprites and ganne objects are then 
added to complete the stage. 'We're 
currently using over 1 500 frames of ani- 
mafion.' Foster continues, 'and creating 
each stage individually makes linking 
fhem together easier for when it comes 
to compressing the game down on to 
floppy.' 



MESSAGE Er*DS. 



_ With 20-30 frames 
completed a day, work is steady but 
unhurried. However, the team are now 
battling to condense the game down on 
to six floppies. Sound is always the last 
thing to be added to their games, and 
Readysoft are currently scouring Brftain 
for someone to incorporate the game^s 
many effects and sound. 'We intend to 
have a movie-styfe tune running through 
the whole game, and will also feature 
assorted sound effects to tie in with the 
actfon. If all goes according to plan, as 
Guy punches and shoots, the sound 
reacts accordingly.' How pleased is he 
with its progress? 1 think weVe covered 
a lot of ground with Guy, and although 
irs still not fuJIy-interactive. it's far more 
playable than anything we've done.' And 
the future for Guy? 1$ there a sequef in 
the works or even Guy Spy: The Movie? 
"Wait and see; Foster ends enigrrati- 
cally... 



ON THE COMPETITION AND THE 

Future Sd what does Foster Ihinh ol othet 
jieoples' attempts to combiRe superior graphics 
with plajrability - Core Design's HemHatt, for 
emmplel 'Vn only s«en a few screenshDls and 
reviews/ lie concedes, but il's flattering to see 
that Dur graphical style has obviously been Uie 
inspiration/ Does he think that the gap is being 
ftreached? 'Yes, alt the time. It's going to take 
a while before we combine Ihem perfectry, and 
I don't think that it will be totally po»fble on 
the Amiga or ST.' Are they signing the Amiga's 
death warrant as their development machine? 
'Hot just yet, but we' re starting to look at tife PC 
and its palette of Z5S colours and it's looking 
very inviting indeed. In addition, CD ROM is 
tempting, but I don't think it'lf ready get going 
lor a while. It would be unwise to write off the 
Amiga just yet, thuugb.' 




TTm move towards fully intaractive canoona has been made easier t>v Keeping Gu/s many sub- 
games simple but playable. The ski sectfon, for instance, involves the avoidance of a series of 
Dbsi^cles as Guy unakes chase down a clutlered and very steep ski slope. 




The advenure takes Guy into Egypt, to the Amazon and, eventually, lo Berlin where Von Max is 

making the final preparations 10 his deadly machine. However, weitfrrg for our hero at each point are 

IheevilganluA'shanchmen, aFI of whom musi be disposed of before ihe next stage can he loaded 




i 




So fafp Gu/s sprMes tiave used over 15CH) 
frames of ankmatlon to get ihem moving 
both quickly and reaiisticaJly, The Jarge ske 
of each character meatis that any small 
gaps In the 'tween ing' s#c|Eori belween 
moves will be more obvious. Consequently, 
Ihe spnte is redrawn havkr^g been altered 
slighily each time, and simply eddied on 
screen whenever th« relevant irwve is 
needed. It isn't as memory-elf eetive as 
breaking the sprite up, but ReadysofI con- 
sider the result worth the price.

SHADOWY 



In Iheir first entry 
to the RPG genre, Do mark and veteran 
development team^ Teque, have joined 
forces to create the dark world of 
Shadowtands, where evil njies overtfie 
five-storey kingdom full of zombies, 
skei-etons and other unworldly creatures. 
The player is cast as a human whose 
Earthly form has been destroyed and his 
remaining bones scattered throughout 
the massive play area. Thus, recruiting 
tour wanderers of the Shadowlands, the 
player must pit their new-found team's 
wits against the many puzzles within the 
game arena. 

One of Teque's main aims was to 
give the game a predominantly 
Japanese feel, and this is apparent from 
the very start. The game opens with a 
team selection screen, where the round- 
eyed looks and strength attributes of the 
four characters can be altered where 
necessary. Following this, the game 
switches to an isometric view to depict 
the detailed landscape and its many 
contents Another priority on Teque's 
agenda was to make the game accessi- 
ble to both the veteran RPG fan and the 
newcomer Thus, the entire game, from 
movement to object selection and fight- 
ing, is controlled using the mouse, and 
this simple system allows the player to 
perform virtually any feasible act on the 
game's many objects and locations. For 



instance, teleporters can be accessed 
and keys placed into specific looks with 
a quick press of the mouse button This 
system is then used to piece together 
the many clues that stand between the 
team and the recovery of your bones. 



itQUE-NIQUE 



In an attempt to capture 
the interest of the novice and casual 
RPG players. Teque have concentrated 
on making the massive adventure easy 
to play by limiting the controls to the 
mouse only. Thus, using a simple 
point'ndick method, virtually every 
avenue of e^cplo ration is immediately 
available, taking the frustration out of the 
many puzzles. Another factor is that the 
game utilises a technique which Domark 
have called Photoscape, which basically 
means that light in the world of 
Shadowiands behaves as it should, with 
torches gradually burning down and the 
corners of the dungeon gloomily lit. 
Team leader, Dean Lester, is the cne- 




Th0 gam« haa besn givsn an Oriental feel.. t>oth 
in 11$ simplicity of use and graphical style. 



I 



MB93"TBI]lf 6 One of iha alde^ riavelopment learns going, Teque have been retpansible 
foi* seme of the masi f round-bfeaking gam^ ever. Pete Harrap, fer Instance^ was tha ntan behind 
Gremlin's Moitfy Mole classics., and since then Itiey have produced gamester Domatfc^ Krisalls and 
Oc«an. As well as orlfinal |ifnduct$, Sui^h m Mffneh^erUnlteaBni the Eoropeanlolldw-upp they 
also produ€eil the conversions of Escape From The Pfmet Of The Rabat Munstofs, Chas^HQ^nd 
Klax, and are ourrently beaverlng away on anothsf lootball game for Krtsalis. 




Domark are set to enter the RPG arena with an 
adventure set in the Shadowlands. Steve 
'National Elf' Merrett visited this strange world.

ator of Shadowiands. and over the last 
year what started as a nice idea for an 
RPG has expanded far beyond his 

expectations. With the rest of the team 
made up of graphics nnan, Mark 
Anthony, and coder Barry Monk. 
between them they have taken ideas 
from games as diverse as the Ultima 
series and the SSI games, whilst ensur- 
ing that the ease of use remains. Due to 
the size of the projacl, though, the game 
is still months away from completionp 
with three of the five lands still to be 
implemented. Despite it being another 
new avenue for Putney -based Domark, 
they are confident that Shadowlands will 
be another string lo their bow and are 
hoping that their simplistic control sys- 
tem will breath new life into what can be 
a tired genre. We'll be able to see for 
ourselves when the game is finally 
released in March.

Children's television; 
it's a wasteland of 
American cartoons, 
inane presenters, and 
Australian series - but who 
doesn't watch it when theyVe 
got a day off sick? One pro- 
gramme, though. wilJ catch 
the eye of any role-playing 
enthusiast, and that's 
Knight mare, which uses com- 
puter imagery to transport 
hapless youths into a dun- 
geon watched over by the 
mysterious Treguard. 
Mindscape snapped up the 
license and now Tony 
'Captive' Crowther's game 
reaches the shops just in 
time for Christmas. 
Superficially this is a 



Dungeon Master-3ly\e game, 
with four characters, drawn 
from a selection of races and 
professions, exploring 3D 
dungeons whilst cornbatting 
monsters and overcoming 
puzzles and traps. The party 
tackles four quests - or 
underground complexes - in 
search of the Shield of 
Justice, Sword of Freedom, 
Cup of Life, and Crown of 
Glory, and can choose the 
order they approach the first 
three {although in all honesty 
the player must find the 
Shield to get the skills 
required for the others). 
Treguard's image is every- 
where, offering advice and 
giving a fix on the player's 



location -just in case they 

need to get help from 
Mindscape, a useful feature 
which others should adopt. 

This is where the similarity 
to Dungeon M^stor ends; the 
game is much closer to 
Captive, or even Gremlin's 
excellent BSS Jarre 
Seymour Knightmare is 
pretty tough, and there are 
no 'introductory levels'. All 
four sections of the game 
demand skiJI, forethought, 
and, most especially, careful 
management of resources. 
My party came close to dying 
as I hadn't paid enough 
attention to their food levels - 
so make sure they have 
enough spidsr legs to munch 




on. Hearth. Stamina and 

Magic are shown as bars 
near the character portraits, 
and they are depleted 
through movement and com- 
bat. Sleep recuperates lost 
points, and if a priest casts 
an REM spell they are recov- 
ered much faster. 




The top-right hand set of icon^ represent characiers, their 
stats and energy levels, and those bfliqw are dlr^ctPDnal.

The puzzles are bizarre 

and typical of Crowther's 
weird sense of humour. Each 
Quest is guarded by a tree 
monster who demands an 
object before letting anyone 
pass. The first request - for 
the tree's child to be returned 
- stumped (no pun intended) 
me for a whife, until I remem- 
bered the twig I'd found 
earlier! Findfng objects is far 
from 



nature of the graphics, some 
items are all-but invisible 
against the background; but 
after awhile your eye 
becomes trained to spot 
objects. I wafked right past a 
key I was searching for at 
least three times before 
locating it. 

As with Captive, the 
players' stats can be 
viewed individually or in a 



block of four. This is very 
handy when checking for 
overburdened cr injurecf 
characters. The graphics are, 
on the whole, attractive and 
full of original touches, like 
plant pots on the walls and 
flooded passageways 
Sometimes the graphics are 
garish, but usually they're 
just right. I can foresee prob- 
lems for those people playing 
on a TV and not a monitor: 
as Tve mentioned, the writing 
and other details can 
be obscure, 
although thankfully 
the program 
includes a prefer- 
ences option to 
change colours.

row a small boat in shark

I don't know what it is about 
the Ready soft laser-disk 
conversions, but there s 

sometlning strangely appeal- 
ing about tlnem. We all know 
wtia( to expect in terms of the 
series' minimal control over 
the character, but somehow 
Ihey still offer a challenge 
(hat won't go away untfl the 
game has been cornpleted. 
So, as can be expected, all 
the usual criticisms of the 
games can also be levied at 
Bijs new addition to the fam- 
ily. However, due to what 
appears to be scrimping on 
Ready soft's part, somehow 
eprf's R&VBnge falls short of 
my already set expectatiors. 

The scenario picks up 
straight from where the first 
game left off. Borf's evif plan 
to reduce the age of every- 
body within the gafaxy using 
his Infanto-Ray backfired 
wtien the heroic Dexter used 
a mirror to reflect the blast so 



that Bo rf himself was 
regressed. However, in the 
opening scenes of the 
sequel, Borf's cronies, the 
mischrevous Goons, have 
reversed the polarity of the 
Infanto-Ray and given the 
blue giant a blast to revert 
him to normality. Thus, 
Dexter's girlfriend, Kimberly, 
is once again whfskecf away 
to Bort's lair whilst you're left 
to give the Goons the slip 
arid make your way into 
Borf's ship to rescue her, 

Untike the first game and, 
ir>deed, the others in the 
series, the most notable 
improvement in Space Ace U 
is that the game flows more 
smoothly and the scenes roil 
into each other perfectly. 
Conversefy, though, thfs 
exposes just how few scenes 
the game contains, with a 
mere three to four covering 
each of the package's six 
disks. Starting with 



Kimberly's abduction, 
Dexter is immediately 
set upon by Borf's 
Goon friends and it's 
time to move the joy- 
stick at the right lime 
to progress through 
the twenty- seven 
stages that stand 
between you and vic- 
tory. There are five 
moves at your dis- 
posal, and clues to 
which will probably be the 
correct one are given by the 
positioning of exits and even 
the situations themselves - 
for instance, if Dexter is 
grabbed by a particularly 
hungry monster, it's odds -on 
that drawing his laser is the 
perfect remedy. However, 
due to the limited number of 
moves, certain ones will have 
different effects and whilst 
pressing the firebutton during 
one scene will draw our 
weedy hero s laser, in others

ft will activate the wrist con- 
troller which temporarily 
boosts Dexter s weedy frame 
to that of his eponymous and 
beefier alter-ego. Space Ace. 
As the correct moves are 
chosen, the action takes 
Dexter past ravenous crea- 
tures and robotic security 
systems and into Borf s 
space station, for a final 
stand-off under the deadly 
Infanto-Ray's machinery. 
There's not really a lot 
else to mention, as by now

you'll know what to expect. 
However, whilst the save* 
and load' options are still 
mercif Lilly present to avoid 
playing the same scenes 
repeatedly, Readysoft seem 
to have cut a few corners 
here and there. This is panic- 
ularly notable in the sound 
department, where the game 
reuses all of the samples and 
effects from the first game. 
Considering that all thesa 
game's reaHy have going for 
them is their presentation, 
this is a major faux-pas and 
the chance to add to the 
atmosphere has been com- 
pletely wasted. Presumably, 
this is because Readysoft 
have created the game from 
scratch without the use of a 
coin-op for reference^ but all 
the same it's a bit of a swizz. 
In addition, there are a few 
graphical rough edges, too, 
where a few more frames of 
animation might have been 
worthwhile. 

So there you have it: the 
new Readysoft ^masterpiece. 
Unless Super Don Quixote is 
on the cards, I have a feeling 
that they have milked this 
system as much as they can, 
and the advent of the sup- 
posedly more interactive Guy 
Spy seems to confirm this. If 
so, then it's about time, as 
the system started waning 
after the novelty of Dragon's 
Lair wore off. Perhaps I'm 
being a little harsh as I did 
find Borf's Revenge initially 
appealing, but for fifty quid I 
feel that perhaps Borf's nejd 
adventure will see him aban- 
doning the Infanto-Ray and 
spending the profits of his 
first two defeats on an island 
in the Bahamas. A sure-fire 
triumph for the evil giant, 
methinks,.,

Ja'^e Masters is one of 
those Americans who 
provide a strong case 
against tourism. Loud, self- 
cx>nfident to a ridiculous 
degree, and blessed with the 
silly nickname of 'Lucky', 
Jake s an adventurer, 
bankrupt importer, and self- 
appoimed hero. Finding 
himself in Hong Kong in the 
1930s with his Airborn 
Imports business deliberately 
destroyed by E.A. Lomax, a 
hardened rival, the former 
war ace decides to take up 
Lomax's 'offer' of a reward to 
rescue his kidnapped daugh- 
ter, Kate. 

Kale is a do-gooder nurse, 
snatched from the hospital 
where she was tending sick 
children - naturally - by the 
evil henchmen of Li Deng. 
the area's major crime lord. 
Lucky 's task revolves around 
freeing her from Deng's 
palace, but only recruiting 
the help of Zhao Chi. a local. 
Ninja. This is where Heart of 
Crtin^fe major novelty feature 
comes into opera- 
tion: the player 
switches between 
Lucky and Chi 
(and Kate, once 
she's been res- 
cued), because 

Ed 



many of the situations within 
the game can only be solved 
by switching between the trio. 
For instance, during a search 
for hGaling herbs, the shop- 
keeper. Madam Wujsa 
xenophobe and refuses to 
sell them to Yankee Jake, 
However, by switching to Chi 
to make the initial contact, 
any barriers will be broken 
and she'll talk to him. Oddly 
for a supposed hero, though, 
Jake takes a backseat to the 
actions of Chi and Kate later 
inthsgame. 

The first stop is Li Deng's 
sinister Chengdu Fortress. 
This comes as a slight disap- 
pointment as, after searching 
the building, with the excep- 
tion of a few locations in the 
areas of Katmandu, Istanbul 
and the Ghent Express, 
there's very little to see. In 
addition, the lack of locations 
would be bearable if the puz- 
zles offered any real 
challenge but, sadly, these 
are severeiy lacking, too. And 
this may leave some adven- 
turers feeling

ways of finishing the game, 
witli a non-linear progression 
througli it. Whenever the 
player makes a clioice that 
takes him or her along an 
afternative path, a message 
pops up stating that you've 
decided to follow a particular 
plot branch. In truth, there 
are very few chances lo 
make 'aJternative' decisions, 
but the idea is a nice one and 
will hopefully be exploited fur- 
ther in Dynamic's next 
release. 

As with the company's 
previous foray with thiis sys- 
lem. Rise of the Dragon, 
HOC connes as a IMb-only 
game spanning an astound- 
ing nine disks. Unfortunatelyp 
single-drive users will find 
themselves swapping disks 
liike there's no tomorrow and 



this interrupts the flow of the 
game enormously. Even 

with a hard drive, 
access time is far 
from quick, but is a 
vast improvement 
nonetheless. 

Playing the 
game is simplicity 
itself, as the inter- 
face is a joy to use. 
All usable objects can 
be dragged around the 
screen, and icons at the bot- 
tom of the screen act as 
inventories. Clicking on 
Jake's portrait brings up 
either a quick inventory - 
which is used for manipulat- 
ing objects - or the main 
screen, which also includes a 
large shot ol the character. 
This allows you to wear items 
of clothing (important when 



infiltrating the palace) or 
activate weapons, 

and so on. This 
may limit the 
numbers of 
actions you 
can perform 
{even more so 
than Sierra's 
SCI interface) 
but, on the plus 
side, it makes 
playing the game con- 
siderably easier. 

The period flavour of HOC 
is its strongest aspect, along 
with the Indiana Jones plot - 
although the pseudo- mystical 
and religious overtones are 
thankfully missing. Dialogue 
is a scream, and Lucky can't 
help winding up people with 
his Oh, yeah?' attitude, while 
the usually silent Chi has a

If presentation is important 
to you. then this is the best 
adventure on the Amiga. The 
music, from dramatic scores 
to eastern tunes, sound 
superb when played through 
a stereo system, but my 
monitor fails to do it justice. 
The graphical style works 
much better here than in Rise

intro sequence to the finale 
the game is a wonder to 
behold. The price for all this 
though - in money, ac^cess 
tinie and disk-swapping - is 
hard to justify in my opinion.

cushions, retouching the

colour palette doesn't run to 
ihese feats, so we're stuck wilh 
drawn .representalions of the 
actors!

SCREEN SCENE 




The Victofian Age is 
famous for its industrial 
advances, puritanical 
morality, and its advanced 

spaceflight program. Space 
Flight? Well, according to 
Empire, who have adapted the 
Games Designers Workshop 
pen -and -paper RPG, Space 
1889, to the Amiga with great 
success 

The plot commences with 
an overheard rumour abaul the 
location of King Tuts tomb. 
This prompts the party to travel 
to Egypt, which in turn leads to 
further adventures and sub- 
plots winding on Mars, 
Mercury and beyond. The " 
character generation system is 
marvellous: skills are deter- 
mined by professions which 
vary from the mundane to the 
, bizarre. Each profession gives 
the player a unique set of abili- 
tiesr: actors learn eloquence 
and theatrics and engineers 
study mechanics and scienoe. 
Elective parties contain people 
with differing backgrounds, as 
a wide range of skills are 
needed to successfully play 
the game, with mental and 
practical skills as important as 



physical ones. 

The Victorian era has been 
carefully recreated right down 
to the use of pounds, shillings 
and pence, although cash fig- 
ures can be converted to 
pennies-only for those who 
find mental calculations tricky. 
As Great Britain was still the 
most powerful nation at the 
time, social standing is funda- 
mental and characters range 
from- the proletarian ail the way 
up to the aristocracy. This 
determines wealth, and also 
effects, such as the way other 
people view the character. 

Unusually, the emphasis is 
firmly on pu22le solving and 



interaction with per- rransfiiirt la very importanit - even while ati 1 1 on 

sonalities in the game E^rthil Ih^r^ am z^pp^WnB and boots which ihe 

world. Wandering p«rty us«s to hop beiwB#n cortilneois. 
around looking for a 



fight reaps next to no rewards, 

while talking (and frequently 
bribing) non -player characters 
yields information about the 
job in hand- The biggest draw- 
back is the graphics - they're 
competently drawn, but the 
overhead movement screens 
are about as clear as British 
Rail s ticket pricing. Likewise, 
the sound is poor, but these 
failings are more ttian forgive- 
ableinthe light of the 
intriguing scenario and novel 
feel to the game. 



CLEANSE THE STREETS! WhilsEartH^bDundalMhe important 
antion accurs in the cities. Any items disGavered during the parti's travels 
can be sold tor cash or inlonnatton if you discover a keen coHectar. This 
lead^ to the nE%\ que^t. and so an, and the pafty gradually unearths hln^ 
concerning tKe other planets. In the ploriDus tradition of the British Empire, 
tt's expected that the parti will pay very littta regard to the customs aai 
feelings ot aliens - be they extra-terrvstrial or simply foreigners. 



Space 1889 is by no means 
the best RPG I ve played, ye: 
wholeheartedly recommend it 
for those searching for a game 
witti ani ariginal concept and 
lastiings of creamy playability 
and atmosphere. Tally ho, and 
God save the Queen!

Whflst the Ampga-own- 
ing world impatiently 
awaits Jf/cfr Off///, 
Anco attempt to bridge the 
gap with their foray into the 
world of Basketball. And. 
whifst it's by no means as 
immediately playable as Kick 
Off and its sequel, it is by far 
(he best Basketball game to 
grace the machine. Actually, 
with competition timited to 
Cinemaware's TVSportsr- 
BasketbatI, that's not saying 
a great deal, but Tip CWf is 
probably the most playable 
home variety we are likely to 
see. In terms of graphical 
and presentation styles, 
we're in familiar land here, " 
with programmer Steve 
Screech's tiny sprites once 
again adorning the screen, 
and numerous Player 
Manager-Btyle option screens 
preluding the actual matches. 
However, the sound front has 
been greatly improved, with a 
sample- laden tune interrupt- 
ing the load and the furious 
squeak of sneakers against 
wooden court complenienting 
the action. 

Everythrng wrthin the 
game is joystick-oontrolledp 




The tactics screen allows s^l pieces lo be effe^iBci, which the playars wlJI 
than atteinpt to recreate during a match. 



Tip Off^ opijoos allow the pigyer lo 
choose bfltwKn a managerial 
stanc# or a simple arcade game. 
Adopting Ih* role of the juanager, 
you wKII be torced lo select and df op 
flayers and build a taam thai wiJI 
faaltle their way lo I he lop of the 
ieague. In addition, using a similar 
system, the length ol the gapf>e and 
th« style of tlie mptch ean be 
selected from an^lher me^u screen. 



with its many icons all avail- 
able at the press of the 
firebutton. As well as the 
usual features we have corn© 
to expect -length of 
matches, choice of /ef 
(although modesty prevents 
me mentioning the inclusion 
of a certain dashing Editorial 
Consultant who makes an 
appearancef). skill level, etc 

- the more strategic can also 
opt to lay down complex play 
moves, which your on-court 
team will then endeavour to 
follow. However^ complicated 
as this may sound, the 
moves are easy to effect and 
follow, and don't get in the 
way of the main action at all 

- a major bonus. 

The actual game itself is 
played over a series of court 
surfaces, with the players 
sprinting rn from the right 
ready for the start - the Tip 
OH' for possession of the 
ball. In keeping with Kick 
Off s sparse graphfcal style, 
the players are represented 
by tiny sprites, but on piaying 
It becomes apparent that 
they are considerably more 
impressive than their footy- 
playing counterparts,

SCREEN SCEN 




^ Depend i n g on their di recti ori 
and position on the pitch. 
these guys spin on the spot, 
poke th€ ball between their 
legs, or even dummy the 
opposition - all in perfect 
detail. Apparently, there's 
over 500 frames of animation 
per player, and in the heat of 
a matcli it's easy to see 
where it all went. Control 
over these miniature Magic 
Johnsons is simplicity itself, 
with the joystick activating 
'steals', blocks and shots 
instinctively, depending on 
the player's vicinity to the 
bali. In addition, passing and 
shooting are equally simple, 
with the computer deciding 
who the best player to pass 
to is, and also gauging the 
accuracy of a shol from dis- 
tance. The latter is indicated 
by an enlargement of the ring 
itself, along with an indication 
as to where the ball will hit it. 
So how does it fare in the 
pi ay ability stakes? 
Comparing Tip Off to Kick Off 
and its sequel is grossiy 
unfair as the two sports are 
so greatly different. 
Basketball is played over a 
smaller area, with more com- 
plex rules so, as a result, the 
game is slightly more dis- 
jointed than Kick Off. 
However, by ignoring a few 
rules (you can now pass 
back over the halfway line, 
for in stance )^ Screech has 
tried to make the game more 
fluid. Personally, i think it 
works well, and that the 
game is both fast and easy to 
get into^ but fans of the 
rough' n 'tumble of Kick Off 
may be disappointed. 01 



COCK-A-HQOP! Although il is widely believ&d that professional 

Basketball came into eKlstfince in 1949, along with th^ farrngtion of the 
Nditional Basketball As&ociatior, storiss actually date its conception to fifty- 
s^v^n yaar^ before thai In addition, the rules hav& changed a greal deal 
since then, tea. with the original game's M-man a-side teams battling it omt 
in a caged arena gradually evolving into the present 5-man teams and coyrts 
we are used to seeing today. 

The seed of the idea li^ with one James 
Naismith, a PE teacher from Montreal. 
Originally, Naismith's inteftlions were to pro- 
mote Christiamty within young men, and 
ioining the loc^l VMCA in the capacity of 
Physical In&tructor, started to teach BasebaJI, 
Football and assorted Sym activities. 
However, due to the area's varying weather 
conditions, the class rapidly QOt fed up with 
the limited indoor activities available during 
the vyirrter tnonths. Consequently, Naismith 
came up vrilh the idea of a fast-paced indoor 
spon and the fl&rm of Basketball was planted. 
His first attempt at a simple hall-game was 
deemed a failure by;jhe class members, so 
elements from FoottelL Rugby and even 
Lacrosse were added toJfve further pace to 
the new sport. \J 

All the time the fledgling spori was^olving, Naismith was being scrnli- 
nised by Itie YWlCA^sfNijtier cchelonsfiho were ^mi about the Sme he 
was wasting deveJoping it. How&ver, wilh hall-play already determjned. all 
thai was needed now was to d^ermine how each player could score 'goals'. 
Recalling^ a game he played in his yotith, Naismiltl pfOinptly decided tipon a 
'ring", into which the tall should be Ihfow^n. This decided, the sport grew 
slowly in popularity, changing Qf^dually Ifrta the sport we know today.

The plaveT9 react inteii^genily to 
the direction th$y are facing and 
whfrlher thev'^^ running when the 
us«r wanl9 to shoot or pass- Even 
though the sprites resemble 
Gui lever's Lrllipirtiiar^ pals, ihe play- 
ers ire superbly animaled^ and can 
play the ball bntwieen their legs, 
turn and shoot, dummy a pass, or 
throw the hall using an overarm 
lob. 

Shots are simple lo pull off with the 
piiyer eltt^r pressing fire to throw 
the balL or pulling back on the Joy- 
stick during 9 run to launch a 
longshot. The accuracy otthe shol 
1st shown as a olose-up of the ring

will hit. The vnore ceniral the bell, 
Ihe noofe likely the shot will go in. 






Fouls can be switched on or offj 
with penalties tlie result of hard 
tackles. 






course, this is a fault inher 
ited from the real thing, so 
neither Ance nor Screech 
can be held responsible. A 
brave attempt which is 
bound to come as a slight 
disappointment after Anco's 
two Footy classics, Tip Off'v 
stili a playabi© and impres- 
sive game Not quite a 
three-pointer, but it stiii

The majority of flight sim- 
ulations have you 
whizzing around at 
excessive speeds blowing 
things up with your state-of- 
the-art war-pEane. Now. from 
German- based Thai ion, 
comes a proper' flight sim 
where you swap missiSes for 
passengers and military 
fatigues for a pilot's cap. 

As the Captain of a pas- 
senger plane, there's more to 
Airbus than just pulling the 
yoke and playing with the 
throttle. The first step on any 
journey is to plot the course, 
and to do this you need to 
input your destination, calcu- 
late how much fuel is 
required for the flight, and 
what route to take. However^ 
before you even start the 
engines, cateulations based 
on the cloud base, difference 
in air pressure and weather 
have to t>e entered to cali- 
brate the plane's computer. 



A320ooz^s accuracy and 
Thai ion claim that anyone 
who can pilot their computer 
version js ready for the real 
thing. Included in the pack- 
age is a map featuring 
international low-altitude 
routes, approach coordi- 
nates, restricted air-space 
and flight routes. This reveals 
the complexity of the sim per- 
fectly and the incredible 
detail it contains. Most of the 
controls are based around 
the mouse, but the keyboard 
comes into play for the 
engines and occasional navi- 
gation functions. Surprisingly, 
though, these simplify what 
could be a very difficult land- 
ing process. 

Basically, Airbus's action 
is limited to taking-off . land- 
ing and pointing the plane in 
the right direction. This may 
sound a bit harsh, but the 
real skill comes in navigating 
and working the flight details 



before you take-off. 
Navigating is a complicated 
process which requires lock- 
ing onto a beacon and 
planning your course to avoid 
other flights, bad weather 
and mountains. Once this is 
mastered you can graduate 
from training mode and take 
on a plane load of passen- 
gers. However, during the 
dull areas of inactivity, 
Thai ion have added- a 'time 
skip' key which allows you to 
bypass the boring in-flight 
movies and other routines of 
uninterrupted flying. 

The A320 handles 
extremely wel! for a passen- 
ger aircraft, but don1 expect it 
to be as nippy as an F15: try 
to be flash in one of these 
and you'll wind up hitting the 
ground - fast- Additionally, 
because the plane takes a 
long time to respond, youll 
have to think a few seconds 
ahead to make sure you

Straighten the aircraft. This is 
particularly true of making a 
landing, as last second oor- 
reclions are vital. There s an 
instmment landing system 
(ILS) which must be used to

last 30 seconds or so of an 
approach have to be done 
visually. 



A series of we 1 1 -designed 
screens lead you through the 
setting up of y^our flight, and 
the checking of the weather 
conditions. The cockpit layout 
is neat, with alf the relevant 
instruments clearly displayed. 
Because the Afrbus is a mod- 
em plane, most of the

This also comes across weil 
in the computer version, 
although you can only fnput 
numbers through a fiddfy on-

proves awkward to use. 

In terms of presentation, 
the graphics and sound are 
simple, but very realistic. The 
engine effects consist of a 
few samples which change 
pitch according the how 
much throttle is being 
applied. Similarfy, the graph- 
ics feature minimal and bland 
scenery, punctuated by the 
occasional special effect, 
such as the hazing when you 
go through a cloud, adding to 
the realism.

extremely detailed and accu-

into this kind of "hard-core' 



sim, you could find the 
appeal wanes quickly. Had 
there been a disaster mode 
which caused the engines to 
cut-out, cabin pressure to 
drop or lightening to strike , 
the game woufd have much 
greater appeal. As it stands, 
though, this is most certainly 
the game for wannabe British 
Ainways Pilots and realism 
freaks,

SCREEN SCENE 




Wrestling is something 
that we in this coun- 
try find hard to 
appreciate. Oversized 
baidies in cheap makeshift 
togas tussle each other to the 
floor whilst oid grannies wave 
umbrellas and throw roiled- 
up bits of newspaper into a 
ply-board ring. However, in 
America r it's a totaily different 
story. Beerbeiiies are 
replaced by finely-toned gar- 
gantuan physiques, and the 
pensioners fight for ringside 
seats with adults and children 
who sport their fatest hero's 
face on placards, T-shirts 
and moulded rubber masks. 
Yes. WWF is big business. 
And so, as most things do 
these days, Wrestlemania 
has crossed the Atlantic and 
become the latest craze on 
our shores. Ocean's game 
takes the most popufar char- 
acters from the Federation 
and separates them into 
good guys and bad boys. 
Naturally your choice of char- 
acters is made from the 
former category. 

With each hero comes an 
individual set of moves and 
statistics. Weight birthday, 
favourite sayings and best 
move are all listed, and all 
that's missing are their star 
signs- The first wrestler is 
Hulk Hogan, the delinitive 
WWF star, who just loves to 
tell you that he has the 
biggest arms in the world and 
that very soon they're going 
to be squeezing the excre- 
ment out of you. British 
Bulldog is less outspoken, 
but no less outrageous, and 
his special move has his 
opponent scoop€d-up and 
power-slammed to the can- 
vas. The last choice of 
wrestter is The Ultimate 
Warrior, who looks like an 
ex -member of rock band 
KtSS. He likes nothing better 
than to cuddle up close for 
the Gorilla Press, 

The game has two modes: 
Competition and Practise. 
The latter is vital for learning 
all the joystick and fire button 
combinations. Although 




The large sprites are surprisingly wsll-^nlmgied, ^n^ the moves are 
smooth and easy to access and pull-Off. 



IT'S SHOWTIME 

Sonne effort lias been made to recreate the kind of 
atmosphere these houts evoke in the States. At the 
beginningi oveihead views of the ring and remote-con- 
trolled spot lights scan the audience and flick over the 
arena. The wrestlers are then Introduced and have a 

slight slunging match in which you are offered a 

choice of responses. The audience cheer and the l»ig 

fight eventually begins. 




m 









After the pre-mateh hype, the taih- 
ing slops and the action beikns 
with each wrestler leaving their 
corner. The first one to grapple 
tfieir eppcnent te the fleer wins- 



The comprehensive lighter-s^^lecl 
screen at the frtart of the game 

WWF is billed as a 
two-player game 
this is only possible 
in Practise mode 
and only one of 
you, the good guy. 
oan choose the 
character to use - 
the opponent will 
always be Mr 
Perfect. Get used 
to the large sprites, 
develop some good I 
combinations and 
fighting tactics, arri 
then take on the 
first of the fr^e pro 
grapple rs: Mr 
Perfect. Warlord. 
Million Dollar Man, 
The Mounty and 
Sgt Slaughter. 
During the five rninute 
contest the aim is simply to 
reduce the opponent's 
energy bar by knocking the 
hell out of him, get him on tte j 
canvas and hold him there. 
Sooner or later you're going 
to get in a clinch, a stand off 
where both of you grimace 
face^lo^face, straining to go 
one way or the other The 
only way out is to waggle 
your joystick from left to right j 
faster th an the opposi tion, 
picking him up and hurling 
him across the ring And 
there's action outside the 
ropes, too - there's always a 
handy chair to smack over 
someone's head. Apart from 
this there's nothing more to it. | 
Not bad fun for those young 
enough to think the real 
thing s authentic, but it 
becomes a touch tedious lor 
the fest of us.

Science fiction games 
Inave traditionally con- 
cerned themselves with 
inierstellar conflict, and 
Mindc raft's Rules of 
Engagefnent is no exception. 
By the 24th century ^ the 
Federated Worlds have 
grown, expanding through 
known space, and are now 
meeting hostile resistance 
from a mish-mash of alien 
races and rebel forces. 
Sound familiar? Apart from 
being a scenario uncomfort- 
ably close to a multitude of 
other sci-fi games, ROE 
draws from Star Trek for 
most of its inspiration. Having 
failed the test for originality; 
does ROE have what it takes 
to be a valid contribution to 
your games collection? 

On opening the box, the 
thick wad of rules can be 
bund. To be fair, the rule- 
book is laid out in a linear 
fashion, and the 
first chapter is a 
very helpful warm- 
up tutorial. 

Once into the 
game, its sophisti- 
cation and depth 
become apparent. 
A series of menus 
and selection 
screens guide the 
player through the 
myriad choices and 
decisions required of a Fleet 
Commander. Send an order 
and the subordinate com- 
mander receives and acts 
upon it some time later. 
Some captains even choose 
to ignore commands; this 
realistically illustrates the 'fog 
of war" problems faced by 
commanders. 

The dull graphics may turn 
away many cynical players, 




and it's true that they have all 

the visual splendour of an 
amateur drama production, 
but with so much information 
to supply it's hard to see how 
else they could look. A con- 
trol panel at the top of the" 
screen uses icons to 
accesses sub- men us, and 
everything is entirely mouse- 
driven. 

It doesnl take long to 
learn the system, although 
keeping track of all the vari- 
ables can be a pig. As 
mentioned, multi-ship opera- 
tions are the trickiest - it's 
hard enough putting your 
own ship through its paces, 
let alone three others. 
Likewise, everything moves 
in real time, so there are few 
opportunities to sit back and 
relax, except when your 
armada is en route to an 
enemy location. Combat is a 
very complicated business 
with both ships blasting, cir- 
cling and trying to hammer 
down the enemy's shields for 
a killing blow. At times tike 
these, it's best to put trust in 
your captains and leave them 
to their own devices. 

Trekkies will be glad to 
know that nearly a\\ the 
sound effects in the game 
have been inspired by Star 
Trek. Communicating with 
other ships causes a 
whistling sound to make 
Spock proud ^ and firing the 
Enhanced Beam Weapons 
will bring a tear to the eye of 
any Roddenberry fan. 

But the game is just too 
complex. During combat ^ 
manouevring, fighting and 
defending are too demand- 
ing, forcing the player to 
concentrate on one instead 
of all three simultaneously. 

77 



RULES OF 



5- The coiTibat movements are 
simiiarly tricky. 'Half is a 
waste of lime until the oppo- 
nent is rendered harmless, 
and 'Position', while providing 
the good guys with plenty of 
charioestofire, unfortunately 
does the sarin e for the 
enemy. 'Shadow' keeps you 
relatively out of harm's way, 
but trying to get a fix on the 
enemy is slippery work 
indeed. 

The missions are helpfufly 
classified according to diffi- 
culty, and strategy tips are 
included for good measure 
Apart from the obvious ship 
combat, patrols and outpost 
assault have been included - 
the latter being especially 
enticing with the IGS (ink. A 
full mission creation facility 
adds to the already impres- 
sive long-term appeal of the 
game, and it's a shame that 
there's no facility to [ink two 
Amigas and battle it out with 
a human opponent. Despite 
this, the emphasis is on run- 
ning succesful campaigns, 
nursing your alter ego

and with three difficulty levels 
and 21 scenarios, ! defy any- 
one to finish this quickly. 

I was happily surprised by 
Rutes of Engagement. So 
many space combat games 
of late - such as Statf tight It 
and SSI's Renegade Legion 
Interceptor- have been dis- 
appointing that it's a pleasant 
change to find a good exam- 
ple of the genre » The 
graptiics may be cfiscou rag- 
ing, but they give the player 
exactly what he or she needs 
to get stuck into the game. 
NevertheiesSr I wouldn't rec- 
oiTimend this to novices or 
those who like simple -minded 
blasts^ but for those who are 
hungry for a slick and 
playable space combat simu- 
lator, this is easily the best 
around

After the formula worked 
so wed in Beast 
Busters, Ocean's con- 
version of Taito's Space Gun 
once again uses the same 
mix of tine horror genre ar>d 
the eve r- popular Oparathn 
Thunderbolt game-style 
Thus, in a scenario straight 
out of James Cameron's 
Aliens, the player ps left to 
wander the apparently-empty 
corridors of a dark base in 
search of numerous trapped 
hostages, armed only with a 
pulse laser and a limited sup- 
ply of grenades Whilst thB 
gemeplay offered nothing ^ 
new, though, the Space Gun 
com op simply oozed atmo- 
sphere, and this conversion 
recreates it 





l^tf^i^ 





perfectly ^ith ominous heart- 
beats and eerie squeals 
following every movement. 
Busters' veteran, Henry 
Clark's conversion features 
all the gruesome explosions 
and strange creatures that 
graced the coin-op, along 
with other new fea- 
tures the machine 
introduced. For 
instance, whereas 
Operation Thunder- 
boW ancf its many 
clones force the 
player to follow a set 
route, Space Gun 
occasionally 
throws up a 
choice, with 
the player

allowed to select one of two 
routes during key sections of 
the game. One noticeable 
loss from the arcade parent 
is^ unfortunately, inevitable, 
though. Whereas we re all 
used to seeing Uzis stuck on 
to the front of game cabinets, 
the Space Gun nnachine 
housed two futuristic rifles 
which sported an impressive 
pump action to load in your 
many freeze grenades, smart 
bombs and fireballs. On the 
Amiga this has given way to 
the right mouse button which, 
whilst it is every bit as eflec- 
five, just isn't the same 
somehow. However, to give 
Ocean and Images their due, 
they have made the game 
compatible with Trojan's 
Light Gun. adding to the fun 
immensely - somewhat sur- 
prisingly, it also proves to be 
very accurate, too 

Having selected a on© or 
two-player game, the game 
opens with the player moving 
slowly into the shadowy consi- 
ders ahead. As can be 
expected, this is typical Op 
Thunderbolt terntory, except 
that the dark secretions the 
Aliens have left on the walls 
and the general feeling of 
gloom that the graphics and 
sound give, raise the game 
above even Beast Busters in

SCREEN SCEN 



SPACE GUI I 

> terms of atmosphe m . 

With the mouse guiding 
your cross- hair, the game's 
many aliens start to appear 
from the distance, and press- 
ing the left mouse button 
sends a stream of laserfir^ 
towards tliem. These nasties 
range from the expected 
facehugger clones to a vari- 
ety of multi-armed reptiles 
and ant- 1 ike creatures. 
Contact with these saps your 
already-limited health - rep- 
resented by a set of red, 
dripping claw marks across 
the screen - so they must be 
shot before gettiing too close . 
However, as the game pro- 
grosses, they get harder to 
kill and care must be taken 
notto wound any of the 
hostages within a level.. 

Each level winds its way 
through a separate section of 
the base, past multi-floored 
decks - complete with gaping 
acid holes in the floor - and 
eventually to the escape 
shuttle which represents the 
end of the game However, 
should all the hostages within 
a level be wiped out or your 
energy and credits fully 
depleted, your mission will be 
prematurely ended. Likewise, 
in the final battle 
within the shuttle, 
if too many of your 
shots slam into the 
ship's cockpit, the 
craft wilt be ren- 
dered unusable 
and your mission 
deemed a failure. 
Gurfs levels scroll 
smoothly in the 
four compass 
directions as you 
pad through the base, and " 
the graphics change accord- 
ingly as you get nearer the 
heart of the Aliens' lair. Also, 
blocking your es^ ft to the next 
area are a series of larger 
mutants who, in time-hon- 
oured fash i on i must be shot 
repeatedly until they eventu- 
ally explode. Graphically, 
though, these guardians are 
nothing short of stunning, 
with hugetentacled creatures 
dominating the screen or 
legions of smaller creatures 
making an appearance - bril- 
liant stutfr 

Although there are only a 
few additions to the tried and 
tested game -style, at least 
Space Gun offers fast and 
uncompromising gameplay.

THE SQUEAL THING Sp&ce Guo's sound is simple but very fiftec- 
tive. Willi a itiumping heartbeat and numerous sampled Alien sqyeals 
accompanying the action. A5 the player gels closer tp trie gyardian, the 
heartbeat starts to speed up, and wlieinever the player concedes a hit a loud 
groan signals the ioss of energy. Plus, wheoever an Alien egg or a breakable 
objficl is hit, there i& a loud splat or crashing noise. The game's sonnd was 
handled by Images' veteran. Malt Simmons, who sampled M Effecte from 
the coin-i5p b&fore neprodiJcing them using Nfiisetn^cker m the Amiga. 
Bearing in mind how well they add to the atmosphere, it is even more sur-

The attentiofi to detail add$ a

levy, though, is that the 
action doesn't vary a great

changing of the backdrops 
(which includes a jeep ride

Aliens ensures that it will 
keep your interest. I am a 
major fan of the coin-op, ancf 
this is the best conversion 
anyone could possibly have 
hoped for. Very few details 
have been lost considering 
the Amiga's relatively-low 
specifications compared to 
the arcade game, and this 
makes for a solid - if unorigi-

SCREEN SCENE 




ftliEnameofC&nteur "^ 
Software's new shoot 'em up 
sounds familar. that's because 
it's based on the Academy Award- 
winninfl film of the same name. 
Mad&lriigss, Fantastic Voyage 
starred Stephen Boyd, Raquel 
Wetati and Donald Pleasance in a 
battle against time to save a dying 
screntist. IntmeColdWar-slyle, 
Ifte defecting professor had been 
badiy hurt in an assassination 
attEmpt by the 'other side' {ie the 
Cflmmies). Sirffering serjotis brain 
damage, the dying man is vitally

carried out into miniaturisation, 
and the powers-that-be decide to 
shrink a rnini-sub and its crew to

into fbe man'5 circufatory system 
to destroy the ciot in liis brain, 
V Such a -movie pretentions were 
t odds with the fifm's lavish spe- 
cial effects, which won the movie 
an Dscar. Much the same can be 
mi of the game. A it ho ugh the " 
graphics are soperb, the actual 
gameplay is pedestrian and uncre- 
ativE. The scenario follows the trim 
almost to the tetter. The game 
begins in an alery near the neck 
of the patient. Contjoffing the sub- 
marine, Proteus, you have to guide 
ihe miniature vessel through the 
naze-like byways of the human 
body, avoidrng antibody ceils and 
other defence systems, in an 
attempt to reach the brain and 
destroy the blood clot with a laser. 
AliDiig the way, nine pieces of a cir- 
cuit board have to be recovered in

order to operate the laser, as well 
as fuel and oxygen pods to keep 
Proteus operational. Failure to do 
so will result in either the ship 
exploding or its occupants turning 
a very dark shade of blue! 

Thene are three drfficufly levels 
to choose from (Beginner. 
Advanced or Pro) and these deter- 
mine how many hits the Proteus 
can sustaii. Starting with three 
lives, with two continues for added 
longevity, the ship can move in 
eight different directions via the 
joystick. 



^ 



In all. there are three huge lev= 
els to navigate, all made up of 
intricate passageways through the 
human body. The first involves 
what look (ike massive flying 
mars hm allows which, I'm reliably 
informed, are antibodies, together 
with cancer cells and other miscre- 
ant nasties. Most of these have 
been based on electron micro- 
scope photographs of the interiors 
of h food vessels and cells, 
although some are obvious flights 
of fancy, especially when they start 
shooting back, Level two is even 
more bizarre featuring organisms 
based upon bracks created in the 
bubble chamber of particle accel- 
erators when they are subjected to 
beams of sub -atomic particles'. 
Sure guys, but they still look like 
marsh mallows to me! After col- 
lecting all the microchips and 
completing the last level, it's off to 
ffy the blood clot and complete the 
mission. 

Graphically, Fantastic Voy^is 
superb. The area Immediately sur- 
rounding the vessel is illuminate 
with the rest of the screen masked 
in varying degrees o1 darkiress. 
ITie programmers have also osed 
th e effect fi rst seen in Battle .\ 
SQuMfon, which distorts certain 'h 
parts of the screen and cau-ses a J' 
liquid-like ripple . Here it's used to 
brilliant effect and at limes it 
almost seems that you are indeed^ ,

SCREEN SCENE 



Whilst everyone wants 
their shoot 'em ups 
to be fast, Cardiaxx 
goes from the sublime to the 
Cor Blimey! It is obvious from 
the minimal gameplay that 
Electronic Zoo have seen 
how fast the Amiga can scroll 
and based a game around it. 
The result is a frenetic and 
relatively playable blast 
which, sadly, doesn't contain 
enough meat to keep the 
player interested. A variant 
on the Armalyte theme. 
Cafrf^axxpits the player 
against the might of the 
Cardiaxx empire within a two- 
way-scrolling play area. 
Within this area a series oi 
aiien attack waves and 
guardians appear and these 
must be taken out before the 
ever-decreasing time-limit 
expires. And that^ dear 
reader, is Cardiaxx. 

The game is split into four 
areas, within which tne player 
must exercise their trigger 
finger and reflexes, whilst 
leaving their brain in neutral. 
These levels, despite the 
addition of bas-relief or 
organic backdrops, are pretty 
much alike with the player 
destroying one wave of 



Cardiaxx fighters before 
using their on-screen indica- 
tor to locate the next. I have 
a feeling that Electronic Zoo 
were hoping that the nail-bit- 
ing speed o! the game would 
trick the player into ignoring 
the lack of variety, but it actu- 
ally has the opposite effect. 
Providing that the player sur- 
vives the almost inevitable 
energy- sapping collisions 
with the enemy, they eventu- 
ally reach a pair of guardians 
(who remain the same 
throughout the game - what- 
ever happened to variety?) 
and who block access to the 
next level. Following a short 
space-bourid sequence^ the 
next level is then entered- 

Like so many games from 
the shoot em up genre, 
CafdiBxx is initially very 
playable, and the urge to 
have another crack is akin to 
ail those 8-bit games we so 
fondly remember. However, 
once the first level has been 
beaten and the ensuing 
space scene passed, the 
repetitive levels erode any 
further interest. H larger 
space bases or extra back- 
ground detail was added, 
perhaps this would have 




As the Blieti droves make an appearance, digitised 9p«ch informs you 
whether ihey are to Ihe left or the righL 



helped, but I $uspect thai this 
would have slowed it down 
considerably, M a budget 
release, I would have no hes- 
itation in recommending 
CsfdiaxK as it is perleclly 
suited for the odd blast when- 



ever the need to do some 
damage arises. 
Unfortunately; as it stands, 
twenty-six quid is too much to 
pay for such limited carnage- 
Steve Merrett 



FAST'NTURIOUS creating a geod balance between 
speeil and longwity witliln the limitations iit the shoot 'em up is 
extremely tiicky. With Cardiaxx, it ts only the lack of vat lety that 

causes the problems and, to date, only a tew bikers have 
bridled the gap. Tht C64 was ctioc-a-faloc with top-netoh shoDt 
'em ups, with Andiew Bfaybrodk's Hrftf/vm and Cyberdyne 
Systems' Armalyte regarded as tnie ctassics. Thus, with the 
Amiga's tastei processing speed and tar superior napaliilities, 
surely we should be up to our neeks in speedy blasters? Hope. 
The problem apparently lies with shitting backdrops and numer- 
ous sprites at speed, » evBn tte Amiga has problems doing that. 
Thus, It Is far easier to slow the games down and e^ncefitrate on 

the game's loek rather than ept fur a spanw but fast game. 
Hnwever, this is by no meens a bad thing as past hits suDh as I- 
Out^nAB&imss pave,

magic points are the key to

particular wizard. 

Each player has a turn on 
rhe strategy screen, moving 
his units into positions of 
strategfc power and challeng- 
ing the opposing army as ft 
attempts to burld up power

you^re satisfied that you've

the other player or the com- 
puter to make their move. 
This generally results in a 
smaff or large scale conflict, 
taking you to the area of 
combat and putting up the 
lactical screen. 

Legions are composed of 
foot sojdiers. dragons, 
Cyclops and magicians. Each 
has a certain aniount of 
strength and stamina in battle 
when it comes down to 
siraighl hand-to hand com- 
bat, but the best approach is 
to use magic to overcome the 
opposition, saving your troop 
strength and protecting your 
key players. Both magicians 
and troops are Ifmited by a 
number of factors dispjayed 
down the left-hand side of the 
screen. Hit points simply 



SPELL CASTING There are «ome 15 spells 
which come into uae during the game. These 
grow as you gain experience and accrue magic 
points. Since each spell cast costs points you 
have to budget your actions accordingly. At the 
lower end there are simple spells like fireballs 
which only cost five points, but the stakes ri$e 
as you begin to cast spells tike contagion (which 
sends one of your units over to the opposition 
carrying a deadly plague), or lightning which 
zaps them with a particularly effective bolt from 
the blue. Other spells allow you to heal your own 
men or teleport out of trouble. Some of the spells 
can be blocked by natural obfecis in their path 
so it pays to manoeuvre the enemy so you have 
a clear 'shot' for something like a fireball.

REALMS 




N 



Qt that long ago. some 
bright spark thought it 
I would be a good idea 
to give players the iilusion of 
having great power over their 
weedy sprites. The first batch 
of these so-called God 
Sims\ Populous and 
SimCity. became two of the 
most successful computer 
games ever createci. 
Publishers are keen to jump 
on the bandwagon p and so 
we've seen a recent spate 
sequels. Realms is the latest 
but does it add anything to 
this over-crowded genre? 
Realms is more than a 
mere 'God Sim' or wargame,' 
proclaims Virgin Games at 
the beginning of the manual, 
'Realms is a fyfly-funotioning 
fantasy world'. 

An impressive series of 
animated screens skillfully 
create a sullen mood at the 
start of play It s the old story 
of famine, poverty, war and a 
new king itching to prove 
himself. No bonus score lor 
guessing who you take the 



role of- It's your job to bal- 
ance the budget, give the 
peasants plenty of food and 
weapons, and make sure 
your butt remains intact dur- 
ing a battle- The twist is that 
you Ye lording over a fantasy 
land populated by the likes of 
Ortfs, Elves, Dwarves, 
Barbarians, Vikings and 
Amazons. Ores hate Elves 
more than Dwarves, so 
watch your back when going 
for quick alliances! There's 
always an enemy lurking 
somewhere neart>y and the 
task ahead is to crush them 
without mercy and win overall 
control of the realm.

The real fun begins wfien 
the crystal ball shows a pair 
of swords. This fets you know 
that a full-scale battle is 
about to commence. If you 
activate it. the display 
changes to a more classic

can be positioned into place 
and perform a combination of

Flags at either side of the 



iDattfefield provide you with a 
clue to the morafe of both

to field more troops than your 
opponent - but bi ind luck or a 
cunning strategy can swing 
the tide your way. There's 
nothing more satisfying than 
to see the enemy take fiight 
and retreat off the screen. 

The battle sequence could 
have been expanded. It s the 
best part of Realms but 
doesn't go far enough. 
Perhaps the designers could 
have placed more powerful 




creatures in the annies to 

hefp balance an unfair situa- 
tion and add a bit of spice? 
There wej^e many times when 
I could have used the aid of a 
fire-breathing Dragon or a 
tough legion of Trofls to sort 
the opposition out. And why 
is siegfng a city so boring? 
Where are the massive 
mobile wooden tower things 
you afways see soldiers 
using to smash fortifications 
in the movies? J suppose 
expanding the game further 
would have caused the intro- 
duction of irritating 
disk-swapping. Oh, I didn't 
like the annoying tune that 
constantly plays in the back- 
ground, either. 

Pomrmonger and Mega- 
to-Mania are tough acts to 
foflow and Reafms isn't as 
exciting as either of these 
epics. Not that this Graftgold 
game doesn't have its grip- 
ping moments, it's just there 
are too few of them. This 
omnipotent outing has some- 
what missed the boat, 
especraliy with the imminent 
launch of Poputous ff- the 
almighty Zeus of God Sims 7 
Then again, players who 
couldn't handle the complexi- 
ties of Psiv^mofiger should 
definitely give it a go.

Combining efements of 
Deuteros and Eiite, 
Demonware's latest 
offering is a strange hybrid of 
gaming syfes which puts you in 
oontrol of a huge intergalactic 
spaceship. 

The human race has fled 
the $Dlar system and is des- 
perately seeking b new safe 
haven. As commander of the 
Starlight a gigantic vessel with 
more than three million cryo- 
genfcally frozen crvflians on 
board, if s up to you to guide 
Bie ship to its new destin alien. 
An alien presence has been 
detected and its a race against 
time to ready the ship's 
defences and save the day! 
The game uses a simple 
point-and-dick icon-driven 
interface which is easy to use, 
but allows quite mmplex oom- 
mands to be handed out. 
There are approximately 100 
missions to complete, ranging 
from picking up stray mete- 
orrtes for thefr valuable ore 




content to mtergalactic dog- 
fights against a squadron of 

alien attack craft To help you 
in your task, it's possible to 
defrost' a number of crack 
pilots from their sleep- 1 ike state 
and boost their aggression and 
pilotfng prowess by tinkeriftg 
with [heir inate abilities. 

Once you've assembled 
your crew, you need to pre- 
pare some ships and equip 
them with whatever might be 
necessary, such as laser bat- 
teries, force fields or photon 
missiles. Unfortunately, in an 
effort to save space, the moth- 
ership is only stodged with raw 
materiaISp so arty armaments 
or equipment have to be spe- 
cially ordered. It can take time 



to fuffill some orders, espe- 
oiaily when there s a lack of 
certain materials, so it's best to 
plan ahead. 

As the game progresses. 
you1l come into contact with 
friendly traders, war- 1 ike races 
and other intergalactic trav- 
ellers. Each time combat takes 
place, pilots grow in experi- 
ence and ability, and trading 
can provide valuable new 
materials for constructfng big- 
ger and better armaments. 

The strategic flavour of the 
game is complemented by a 
3D shoot em up section. Once 
a ship is sent into space, a 
player can chose to either let 
the computer control the action 
or opt to take manual control. 
Why Demonware felt the need 
for such an arcade sequence 
is beyond me- it just seems 
so out ot pface with the rest of 
the game. 

Overall, I can't find much to 
fault with Exodus 3010. 
Conversely, I can't find much 



SCREEN SCENE 



to commend it. either The lin- 
ear progression of missions 
restricts the freedom to explore 
the universe whicti Elite 
offered, and locks the player 
into perform ing some incredi- 
bfy drab missions before 
undertaking some of the more 
dangerous ones in the later 
stages of the game. There is a 
game in there somewhere, but 
it's hidden beneath an impene- 
trable layer of tedious and 
routine chores.

Kam the Barbarian must be 
destroyed, so a pact has been 
devised: persuade a demon 
called Abaddon to transform himself into 
a magic sword called Deathbringer. In 
return Abaddon may take the souls of 
his victims. But, by an uncanny twist of 
fate, the weapon falls into Karn's own 
hands as he sets out to rid the world of 
the wizard's menace. 

Looking at the screen shots you 
could be forgiven for thinking that this is 
the best game since you paid £45 for 
Dragon's La/r. However I don t think I ve 
been more frustrated with gameplay 
since Des Waiker scored an own goal in 
the semi-final of the World Cup, 

There are 36 levels of parallax 
scrolling spread over the 30 intercon- 
necting levels. Kam's adventures take 
him across icy wastes, underground 
caverns, dense forests and other 
extremely detailed backdrops. The idaa 
behind this is to satisfy the sword's ever 
increasing appetite for souls. The more 
peopie killed the more povt^er gained - 
and if you don1 fulfil your quota the 
sword wilf take control of you and even- 
tually drain your own life away. 
Ther© is more than one route to the

wizards's lair, and some paths are 
longer and loop back on themselves. All 
levels are linked by animated guardians. 
They're cunning and attack in an unpre- 
dictable manner - so save time and 
lives and just run for it. 

The trouble with the game is that it's 
very hard to control, particularly Karn, 
His sword movements are slow, and 
when he runs he needs a second or 
more to stop. Most of the monsters can 
be jumped over or passed without hin- 
drance and, although the screens are 
great to look at, you won t be too sad if 
you nev^r have to go through them 
again. Probably a game that 11 fill many a 
Christmas Stocking, so tell your folks to 
cross it off their list.

There are two important things to note about Fighter 
Commsna. First, its set in the Middle East in modern 
times, second it is a strategic representation of an air war 
-don t expect the aircraft sim hinted at on the packaging. 

This Is not to suggest that Fighter Command has little depth. 
The challenge of running an air campaign should stretch most 
people, particulanly when there is as much to do m there is in 
this game. 

Begin by selecting a scenario. There are 28 possible set- 
ups ranging ffom conflict between small states like the United 
Arab Emirates and Kuwait, historical battles like the 1973 Yom 
Kippur war, and a fuli-soale Gujf War scenario embroiling 
everyone. 

The action unfolds over a series of maps. A strategic map 
c?epicls the entire region, and a small cursor square can be 
clicked on to take you into a radar representation of the rele- 
vanl area. This gives a tactical view of the playing zone with a 




variety of coloured dots denoting cities, bases, units, civil and 
military installations and. most importantly, the air traffic. By 
the time you're embroiled in a major conflict, the screen is a 
mass of multi -00 loured lines and dots which should confuse 
anyone without air-traffic controller's qualifications. 

A satellite map gives a smaller, detailed area that shows 
what's on and above the terrain; nevertheless, most of the 
action unfolds on the radar screen. However, this is limited 
by the range of your sweep, so one of the first things you'll 
need to do is send out an AWAC aircraft to increase your 
information. 

The key to Fighter Command is careful resource rtianage- 
ment, because not only are your various aircraft limited, but 
so are your supplies.

The game ends when 
one side achieves air 
supremacy, the media 
turns against you, or 
your population 
becomes too demor- 
alised. Either way.

■^ I pesky Commies (somewhat anachronistic, but

m V destination on the map (zooming in on the 
WjJ hotspot) and issue orders to the ships under your 
command, placing them on general quarters and 
setting their radar and sonar defences in operation. 

With the basics set up, you can shift to the bridge of your 
flagship. Here you can control just about everything in the 
game and even swap to the bridges of other ships or the 
cockpits of helicopters. The radar is the most crucial setting 
allowing you to monitor the activity around you for hundreds 
of kilometres Enemy movement is shown as red dots and 
clicking on them will give you further information. 

Each ship has a variety of attack weaponry ranging 
through surface-to-surtace and surface to-air missiles, tor- 
pedoes, cannons and defensive armoury which includes 
phalanx sheils (a computer-guided anti-missile cannon) and

chaff. Warning lights on the lower right tell you If you're under 
missiie attack. 

If the action is proceeding too slowly you can compress 
the time, though once it starts hotting up out there youll want 
to slow it down to a standstill! After each game your perfor^ 
mance is marked and a ranking assigned to you ranging from 
ensign to fleet admiral. 

While the graphics are hardly breathtaking, they are clear 
and wel! thought out. The 



gameplay soon becomes 
absorbing, since it never 
takes long for the action 
to develop, particularly 
when using the time com- 
pression facility. If you're 
the sort of person who 
likes to keep track of lots 
of projects at once then 
Strike Reel is the busi- 
ness.

THEj:a 




You'd think life as a gnome was 
boring enough - all that standing 
around fish ponds in suburban 
gardens waiting for dogs to pee on you 
- without having to control one in a 
game as duU as The M^gic Garden. 

The idea sounds promising: a mis- 
chievous gnome has to manage the 
Gnome King's garden as a punishment. 
The lawn grows rapidly and can fall vic- 
tim to rampaging plants and other 
naughty gnomes who dig up the turf. To 
complicate m alters ^ the climate is unsta- 
ble and you only have a limited amount 
of energy which must be replenished by 
growing vegetables to eat or discovering 



little life-giving hearts. 

Much of the work you have to do in 
the garden involves you using objects 
found in the shed and the greenhouse. 
The gnome can store useful implements 
in his pockets, anything in fact, from 
trowels through seeds, lawn m owe rSp 
watering cans and gardening fort^. 
There are also objects which stop him 
losing energy too rapidly, such as an 
umbrella when it's raining and slippers 
when it turns cold. Both the greenhouse 
and the shed need a regulated tempera- 
ture, which involves getting a generator 
up and running and repairing broken 
windows in the greenhouse. 



There are less obvious areas of the 
garden to explore including the outdoor 
lavatory, a hollow tree stump and a 
magic well which leads to a maze of 
tunnels. These all contain more useful 
items, particularly extra energy. 

The Magic Garden is reasonably 

good to look at - while the characters 

are small they're well defined Part ol 

the problem is the irritating control 

method which involves you rifling 

through the gnome's pockets and click 

ing on objects to activate them. Most ol 

all, though, the gameplay simply 

doesn't add up. It turns out to be about 

as interesting as listening to Gardeners 

Question Time, and that's gnomean 

feat.

ROBOCOP 




The first really suec&ssful movie Jicence, RoboGop was the 
first Ocean game to utilise the now-overused mixture of 
puzzle and arcade sequences. Stepping into the metallic 
insoles of ol' chrome dome hmself, players must blast their 
way through a rogue's gallery of bad guys until he reaches the 
end of the level for a face-off against a larger guardian. 
Aftemating between these arcade sequences, though, are a 
series of puzzles, ranging from a cross- hair-based shoot em 
up scene to a photo-fit sequence, where Robo must identify a 
particular felon. The mixture is a little dated now and the action 
repetitive but. on the whole, Robocop is still a playable blaster 
- if a bit on the easy side. On the downside, though, it hear- 
kens back to the days when the Amiga saw too many straight 
ports from the ST and, as such, can't claim to push the 
machine. This said, it's probably stilJ worth a look at its new 
eight-quid price tag.

An oddity, this^ Although 
Ocean advertised its 
availability several years 
back, the Amiga version of - 
Taito's duff 'em up coin-op 
never actually appeared in 
the UK= Faithfully recreating 
the five manic stages of the 
CO in -op. Software Creations^ 
conversion is graphically very 
similar to the Amstrad CPC ■ 
game. The gameplay seems 
as slow as that of Aian 
Sugar's baby. The scenario 
tells of a street fighter out to 
avenge the kidnap of his 
chick from the clutches of yet 
another Mr. Bitg. Thus, start- 
ing in the sub- way. the player 
wort^ his way through to 
Big's lair by kicking the crap 
out of any thugs who get in 
his way. With a full comple- 



ment of easy-to-use kicks^ 
punches and throws, the 
player must take ori up to 
four opponents at a time, 
many of whom are armed or 
are seated on motorbikes. 
And. as ex peeled, a harder 
fighter is rolled on when all 
his subordinates are KO'd. 
As a conversion, Renegade 
is more than adequate and is 
quite a steal as a budget 
release. However, its lasting 
appeal is severely doubtful^ 
and the hardened binary 
lighter will compfete it within 
hours. Still, hopefully 
Renegade will pave the way 
for the 16-bit conversion of 
T^rg&t Renegade and 
R0n&gad& lit, which are con- 
siderably better.

THUNDERBar 







Her an over-difficult 

conversion of 
Operation Woft fans of the 
series were relieved when 
the sequel was almost 
identical to its arcade par- 
ent. Operation Thunderboit 
combines the side way s- 
sorolling action of the first 
game, with a f onward- 
scrolling section wliich has 
since been much copied in the likes of Space Guri and Line 
Of Fire Once again, we are in 'rescue the hostages' territory, 
as the player and a friend attempt to blast a path through to 
the escape plane at the end of the game. All manner of extra 
weapons are both available and thrown at you, and must be 
shot to defied them and the assailants blown away. The one 
major fault with Op Thunderbolt is that initially the player is left 
without a gun-sight, making aiming very difficult indeed, but 
when the laser device is found all is soon rectified and the 
action can really get going. A superb conversion which has 
lost absolutely none of its appeal and is one of the best bud- 
get re-releases to date.

GAME OF THE MONTH 



Z-OUT 

AS a budget release, this is an absolute steal. 
Rainbow Arts' five-stage blaster nicks ideas from 
virtually every shoot em up ever released, but com- 
bines Rainbow Arts' iypical polisli and presentation 
with utterly addictive gameplay, raising it above the 
com petition. It's back to the Ff- Type-style gameplay, as 
tine levels unveil their Gigeresque aliens and underwa- 
ter creatures, with all the usual beam weapons and 
missiles you'd expect to see. However, whereas R- 
Type stuck to one pattern, by borrowing ideas from 
other blasters, larger space ships appear and must be 
blasted bit by bit. and the enemy attack waves attack in 
manners more accustomed to the likes of Xenon il and 
Scramble. Add to this some of the most breath-taking 
graphics the Amiga has seen, and it is the final chen^ 
on an already succulent cake. Everything about Z-Out 
is brilliant: it's fast, it's graphically superb, and ifs only 
eight quid! Buy it today and do yourself a favour.

Gremlin's second compilation concentrates on what they 
have been primarily famous for recently - the driving 
genre. Opening once again with Lotus, which needs no intro- 
duction, the compilation is completed by the likes of Toyota 
Ceiica Ratiy, Team Suzuki, and Combo Racer. Of the three, I 
must admit to preferring Combo Racer, as it is a fast and 
playable racer, which also adds to its longevity with the addi- 
tion of a track designer. Toyota on the other hand bores the 
pants oft me, with its clever but ultimately dull action - proving 
that different effects aren't enough to add variety to a game. 
Finally, Team Suzuki \9 a technically-brilliant game which is 
slightly over^responsive and is aiso rather fiddly to play. Four- 
Wheel Drive is an uneven drive which runs out of juice and is 
recommended with some reservations.

lation fray with an odd 
mixture of driving, platform 
and shoot em up ganleSr 
Opening with the brilliant 
LotuSy the pack then hits fur- 
ther heights with US Gold's 
excellent Ghouls'n'Ghosts 
compilation, before reaching 
average with Milienium's 
Jam0s Pond and Gremlin's 
Venus. There s nothing 
really wrong with the latter 
two, and both are playable 
little numberSn but neither 
can really claim to sustain 
interest past the two-hour 
mark, particularfy Venus 
which is essentially the 
same all the way through - 
a predecessor to P&gasus, 




perchance? However, with 
the compilation scene fairiy 
bustling with packs up to the 
standard of US. G's MAX 
and Ocean's The Rainbow 
Collection, Chart Attack 
seems both over-priced and 
a little weak in comparison.

Once again, Ocean used 
their combination of 
game styles to create a neat 
package, and all credit goes 
to Special FX for creating a 
moody and atmospheric 
game. As Eliot Ness, leader 
of the tiiular band o1 law- 
enforcers, the player is left to 
complete seven arcade sec- 
tions before Al Capon e is 
finally put behind bars. 
Starting in a warehouse^ 
where Ness must locate bot- 
tles of iMOze whilst avoiding 
the bullets of patroliing 
hoods, the game closely fol- 



lows the film's plot as the 
player progresses. These 
scenes take the shape of an 
Op iVo/f-style roof-top shoot- 
out and a really clever pram 
sequence, where Ness must 
steer a pram and its infant 
contents to safety whilst plug- 
ging Capone's cronies. AH 
seven sections play really 
well, even if the first two are 
a little too bng. and The 
Untouchables is a value- 
packed game which 
deserves to be in anyone's 
collection.

This sequet arrived frs its Amiga form before Elite's conver- 
sion of its forerunner. Ghosts'n'Gobiins, and far 
exceeded it in every respect. Retaining the 'run and jump' 
action of the original, Ghouts fias a larger and more varied 
piay area, with a wliole host of zombies, magicians and vul- 
tures impeding your progress. The storyline recounts how 
Arthur the Knight's babe has been kidnapped by Satan him- 
self, and whisked away to his demonic lair. Armed only with 
a handful of lances and a suit of armour; you must steer 
Arthur through the game's six levels until you get a chance 
to kill off Satan and rescue your giriy. This action ihen pro- 
ceeds through piatform-filJed towns and areas, where Arthur 
can collect extra weapons to aid his progress. Graphically, 
although they are tiny, Ghouls' sprites are well-drawn and 
detailed, and the backdrops are of an even higher standard. 

In addition, supporting 
the action are six of the 
best tunes you'll ever 
hear from your Amiga - 
all of which are courtesy 
of Tim FoSlin, A brilliant 
little game, 

Ghoutsv'Ghosts ranks 
as one of my all-time ^ 
faves^ and as a budget 
release would make an 
inspired choice. 



Ithough Tiertex's 
Cap com conver- 
sion contains virtually 
everything from the all

Stfiderls that the game is easy 
to play, with eirtra weaponry and

However, there is a fee ling of

the fault of the player. It's deb j

^aito's com-op combined arcade technology with a typical Miami Vice scenario 
I to provide arcade-goers with one of the best slants the racing genre had seen 
- a good old-fashioned chase. After receiving orders from Nancyp your Police 
computer, the player nnust drive past all manner of obstacles m order to reach the 
baddy trying to escape. At hand are a number of turbo boosts^ but time is short and the roads are very busy indeed. All this 
leads up to a ramming mission until the bad guy's car is run oH the road The Amiga version had virtually everything from the 
ooin-op in terms of ideas, but the implementation was very poor indeed. The other vehicles are tiny and resemble bubble cars, 
and the road wends its weary way slowly and jert<;ily. In addition, the same task must be performed repeatedly, which wasn't 
especially noticeable when playing the coin -op, but is a real drag ^-wi/

lespite its many filled 3D thrills, there's no denying that 
Voyager is basically an update of the old Battlszone Gcin- 
op. Released at the same time as Robocop, Voy^g&r 
garnered an array of accolades for its fast 3D action, sadly, 

the repetitive game- 
play was virtually 
ignored. Blasting 
tanks and planes 
whilst slipping 
between your vehi- 
cle's two modes is ail 
very well, but in terms 
of depth it has less 
than your average 
puddle. There has 
been an attempt to rectify the problem, with the inclusion of a 
tunnel section, but, this too is dull and tired. A playable game 
in the short-term, Voyager wa^ a visual showcase which 
doesn't even have that going for it now.

THE SUB-GAMES: 

CAREFUL WITH THAT - 
AXE, EUGEHE... 

The main problem here is that the vwob- 
bly cursor makes aiming tricky. To 
counter this, simply position the cursor 
as close to the girl's head as possible, 
leaving as little i&eway as possible. 
Then, waift until the cursor is over the 
rope's thickest point and it should hit it 
first time. You have ten axes to sever 
each of the eight ropes ^ and it is best to 
hit the two vertical ropes first as their 
angie makes these hardest to hit. 

A CRASHING BOAR 

The hardest ot the three sub-games, the 
key to catching the rampant pig is to 
take your time. The pig will knock you 
over whenever you get too close, wast- 
ing valuable time, so the best way to 
catch hold of it is to run alongside it and 




Pi«i>are to enter the land of the Gods as Helmdall creatores, Core Design, 
take you by the hand and offer worldly advice to the game's many problems... 

jump diagonally on to its back. If your 
timing is spot on, the pig will end up in 
your lap - if not, try again 

BOAT JUMPING 

As the ainn here is to get the gold to the 
left of the scrolling boat, try no! to waste 
too much time fighting off the blokes 
protecting it. The control system is a 
simple turn and juuip' affair^ so jump to 
the far left of the screen to the gold, 
pausing only to kill whoever gets in the 
way, and then leg it straight back lo the 
right of the vessel. Don t hang around 
and you'll have no problems at all. 

THE MAIN GAMEi 

SELECTING A PARTY 

Depending on your success in the sub- 
games, or if you opted to ignore them 
altogether p you will be allowed to choose 

the members of your five- person crew. 



Explorf «vHrywtiflra and eallftet aa many obiects

Among the trades available to you are 
Magicians, Warriors, Druids, and 
Blacksmitlns, and a good balance 
between strength and magical capabili- 
liea should be struck. Thus, when you 
are about to explore an isiand, your 
ideal trio would be two strongmen and a 
Magician; the former two can then pro- 
tect the latter as he translates the runes. 

On the whole, though, the following 
selertion are probably the best: a 
Bezerker, as their strength and excellent 
health makes them invaluable in com- 
bat. A Warrior for ttie same reasons as 
the Bezerker, A Wizard, to translate the 
Runes should Heimdall be killed - other- 
wise you won't be able to read them. 
Finally, despite any real dexterity or 
speed, round the party off with a 
Navigator as they, loo, make excellent 
figtilers. He will then warn you about the 
length of journey, aElowing you stock up 
beforehand. 

THE QUEST BEGINS 

Obviously, with so many puzzles within 
the game's three worlds we haven't got 
the space to explain every puzzle, but 
they follow a simple pattern which the 
following guidelines will help you 
through: 

Before you select an fsland, give all 
of your gold to one member o1 your

landing party. Then keep this person as 
the 'banker' throughout the game. If you 
use another guy to hold all the keys, not 
only will this save carrying space, but 
you 11 bo able to keep track of all useful 
objects quickly. 

Always collect loads of food, as it is 
essential for keeping your party alive - 
it s also necessary if you are to survive 
journeys to the further islands. Also, 
make sure that members of the crew left 
on the boat have food, too. Keep an eye 
on the party s health stats at all times for 
an early warning of hunger or a danger- 
ous loss of energy. 

If it isn't possible to translate a scroll 
with your current members, DO NT 
chuck them away- All the scrolls will 
prove useful, and the one you throw 
away may be the extremely useful 
'Reincarnation' scroll which can breathe 
new life into a dead hero. If you have 
several of one kind of scroll (lots of trap 
disarms, for instance), either leave 
some on the ship or discard them if 
really necessary. Additionally, if any of 
the weapons you are carrying are sur- 
plus (do you really need two swords?), 
don't hesitate to drop the weaker ones. 
The space saved can be used for extra 
spells or food.

spell on it. The spglls are more useful 
later in the game and the energy lost if a 
chest sparkles with evil magic or shoots 
out daggers is minimal. 

As a rule, esfplore the entire room 
before you activate any lone floor 
switches. Us more than likely that a 
series of arrows will shoot out at you, 
costing you loads of energy, so see if 
there is anything it could alter in the 
room before risking It Another basic rule 
is 1o be wary when walking past chests. 
These are often surrounded by hidden 
pits which you'll fall into when approach- 
ing. Try to skirl around them instead. 
AlsOp try to keep to the edge of a room 
as pits are generatly less frequent here 
- there's normally twice as many pits in 
the centre of a room than around the 
perimeter. 

Concentrate on increasing Heimdairs 
or the wizard's Runelore skills This is 
effected by using the potions marked 
with the rune signs. Some will increase 
your health and strength whilst others 
will bump up your Runeskiils - either 
way, use them on the chosen two. As 
Iheir Runeskiils grow, this will make 
more scrolls available to you and will

FIGHTING 

Only start a fight if your party's health is 
up to it. This is especially trt4e of 
Heimdall as he is the most capable 
character and his loss can wreck your 
mission instantly. If possible ^ try to avoid 
fighting unless you've conne up against 
a dead end and you think the opponent 
may hold the key to solving the puzzle. 
This can be achieved by either giving 
them a wide berth In the 3D section or 
by trying to run away. 

Familiarise yourself with the layout of 
the fighting screen, too^ as the game is 
played in real-time and energy is lost 
rapidly. Use the heaviest weapons you 
have for normal fighters, and save the 
magic spells for the larger Spiders, Sea 
Monsters and the like. If possible, 
though, avoid the Spiders as they are 
probably the hardest creatures to kill. If 
a fight is inevitable, wait until your oppo- 
nent is off-guard before you swipe at 
him or throw a dagger. This depletes his 
energy faster and effectively doubles the 
effectiveness of daggers - the most 
deadly of all the weapons Finally, if a 
party member i-s losing badly - change 
hi mi That way, nobody is lost for good. =

pressing E will replenish Strider's

Robot's energy,

splashed out twenty-five quid for it

1\4(ke Singleton, the game featured 
digitised images of all the principle 
crew members with an easy point- 
and-click system used to access the 
various ship systems. By clicking 
onto each character, a variety of con- 
trols were uncovered. For example, 
by clicking onto McCoy the medical 
facilities of sickbay were at your dis- 
posal and clicking onto Sulu let you 
set the course and destination of the 
Enterprise. The game never made it 
onto the Amiga as Telecomsoft 
folded and the license to Star Trek was lost. 

Obviously, Eric Qustafson was quite a fan of the ST Star Trek game as he's taken 
the bones of the original and designed his own Amiga version of the game. 
Everythings there, including the digitised opening sequence from the show and all 
the sampled sound effects which run throughout the game. The three-disk game 
puts you in control of the Enterprise as you undertake another five year mission, this 
time to recover vital Federation information which has been stolen and secreted 
somewhere in the galaxy. By guiding the Enterprise around the various star sys- 
tems, it's possible to visit the various planets and search for vital clues to the 
information's whereabouts. Although this game has been on the PD circuit for a 
number of years, it's still terrific stuff and one of the best-selling PD games ever!

JOIN THE 

JETSET 



Ultimale's Jetpac gsme, 
which took the Spectrum 
wortd by storm in the 
early eighties, maltes its 
debpt on the Amiga this 
liiofith courtesy of Mafco 
Bianchi. Jetmeit puts you 
in control of a small 
spaceman wImi has to be 

guided around a screen using his jetpack picking 
up parts for a space buggy while fending off 
attacks from Alien attack craft. Once the buggy 
has been built and fuel pods collected^ the game 
begins anew with another, more complex craft to 
build and so on. One for nostagia fans only!

HAMMERIN' TIME 

Good rave disks are becoming more 
arvd more popular and here's one of the 
best Produced by E)ctensor, Hypnotic 
Hammer //offers a meaty beat coupled 
with some great graphics and strobs 
effects. S'funny, but if something like 
this got onto Top of the Pops or the 
Cfian Show, ltd leave everything else 
trailing in its wake. Hot stuff.

HAMMER II ■ GOT IT TAPED 




Sample disks are always great 
fun and Dennis have come up 
with a disk crammed full off over 
60 brilliant samples including 
the Flint stones theme tune^ HAL 
9000 trying te convince every- 
one he's basically an A-OK 
computer and Dirty Harry threat- 
ening to blow your head clean 
off your shoulders. Excellent.

THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC 

Mahoney and Kaktus brd a fond farewell to the PD scene wrth His Masters NoisB, 

a bljstering compilation of 100 tunes. It's taken 
the guys more than 20 months to cram all the 
songs onto two disks, but it's been well-worth 
the effort. Not everything is an instant classic, 
and some parts are decidedly ropey , but when 
the team gel they're capable of quality music.

GROUND 
FORCE 

New PD company, Ground Zero, 
have published a series of quality 
game disks. Number five in the 
series has 23 games on offer 
incsluding such PD stalwarts as 
BaJfy f f, Tiny^ The World of S-Saff, 
Maze, Mfs^ffe Comm^ndf Slot 
Cars and RusHow. The last game 
is a PD clone of the age-old coin- 
op, Head On^ In which the player 
has to drive a car around a maze- 
like arena cqllecting 
point-awarding white dots scat- 
tered about each lane while 
avoiding a suicidal oomputer-coit- 
trolled car.

JACK'S BACK! 

Ol' plastic face is back! Yep, the 
idol of millions{!?) has decided 
to inflict his particular brand of 
music on us onc^e more andi to 
my horror^ somebody has 
already released a sample of 
BJacir & Wbrfe onto the demos 
circuit. If you^re one of those 
poor deluded souls who think 
Jackets music is pure bliss, 
you'll love it. For those of us 
who pride ourselves on having a 
modicum of taste, however, this 
is beyond death...

NOW THAT'S 
WHAT WE 
CALi MUSIC... 

SlatJD Bytes have released AU-time 
Greatest Hits VoLB, feaUrJng some seri- 
ous sonic earbashing by Ihe likes of 
Phenomena, Siients and Network. Best of 
the lot is Anarchy s Enjoy the Silence, a 
digital reworhiig d1 one of Oepeche 
Mode's greatest hil9.

MEGABLITZ 

The Megagames compilations go from 
strength to strength. Volume II, dish 3, 
features Tm, a nifty Qix variant; and a 
more-than-corripetent text adventure which has you exploring a strange new woricf 
in search of alien life. There's also a Pool sim which, while not in the same league 
as Virgin's Jimmy White's Snooker, is a competent ball game. The cue bail is aimed 
by moving the mouse in the required direction. This draws out a line radiating from 
the cue ball and the overall length of this line determines the strength of the shot.

LIKE CLOCKWORK 

Never one to shy away from con- 
troversy. Demos' regular, BrazzJe ^ — - 
Atkins, has produced a demo 
based on the controversial film, A ^ 
Clockwork Orange. The original 
movie has been banned in this 
country for some time, due to its 
explicitsexualandviolent content , 
so chances are that most people ; 
have never seen Kubrick's '' 
acclaimed masterpiece. So, what better way to get around the censor's ban, than 
a slideshow with images directly culled from the film, accompanied by text taken 
from Anthony Burgess novel. Some of the digitised images are a bit ropey, but 
the overall effect is quite atmo- 
spheric, especially if you put a bit ^ ^ ^^^^'^^^^ 
of Beethoven on the CD to ^ * 
accompany the shovv, For more

Mat Broomfield is here to round up 
the hottest new PD utilities and 
the sexiest shareware.

LEED (LEvel EDitorl 

- SHAnWAIlM ' 

Here's a useful program for game coders who write horfzon- 
tafly-scrolfing level games fiNe Shadow Of The Beast and 
Super Wondertjoy It allows you to load IFF screens which 
are then split into paneis. These panels are then used as the 
building biocks for creating levels which may be many times 
larger than the original screen. Commands are issued via a 
con rol panel at the bottom of the screen, and the whole 
package is very user-fhendiy and easy to use

MIM CMUCnON - PD 

At ast somebody's put together a collection aimed speclfi- 
ca ly at MIDI musicians. This collection comprises six 
utJiities a couple of pieces of MIDI music, and a farge selec- 
tion of Casio CZ- 1 01 instruments. 

Noteable among the utilities are Pan1 1 .2, which is a MIDI 
event programmer that allows data to be entered via a mix^ 
log panel, and MIDI utilities 1 and 2, both of which allow 
MIDJ sequences to be recorded from a keyboard 
r.iS;3 M^in^fl "^^s^r^t^^^sting items on the disk, though, is 
cal ed MIDI Box, and Jt includes complete instructions for 
building your own MIDI interface It comes complete with pin 
assignments, required component lists, and detailed con- 
struction information. Although you can buy MIDlinterfaces 
or ess than £30, the satisfaction of making your owrr means 
that this oould be your best possible introduction to the won- 
derful world of MIDI. Strictly PD, Disi< U302 * ** 




QUKXBENGH 
- BHAHEWARE 

If you've ever bemoan ed the 
length of time it takes 
Workfrencti to toad, their this 
is for yoit. It's basically a cut 
down version, which not only 
loads far faster titan usual, 
but also makfls all commands 
mentorv residant. This means 
that commands, such as 
Copy anil Format etc, which 
wDuJd usually have to be 
Inadeit into mamory each 
time they're used, are now 
available without having to 
refer haeh to the Weritbench 
rfisk censtairtly. This makes 
the package ideal for single- 
drive users as many 
GOflimands are now mucli 
easier to use. 

An additional advantage 
is that Qtiickbeneh can sur- 
vive a soft reset, which 
means thai iif you press 
Cnttl/Amiga/Amiga, 
QaickbmehmW reappear 
after a few moments. This 
makes it esf ecially useful 
when perusing targe numbers 
of PD disks wtiich load via 
Workbench > 

As this is a beginner's 
version, some commands and 
tools have not been imple- 
mented, but if there is 
sufficient demand perhaps 
QJbbotson, the program^s 
author, wiJl write a more 
complete version. 
Incidentairy, Qaickbeoch 
requires Kickstart 1.3 or 
higher to run and there's a 
special versfon available for 
WorKbench 2 owners: 
Discovery PD, Disk 
Quickbench i,ir-kit

S.WJLG-4 - PD 




Despite the fact that fractals seem p»S9« to many laeople, this 
disk may be exactly what it takes to reifiife an interest, and 
contains three programs: Mandel Bliti, Mandanim and Zplot. 
The greatest problem with tracts Is is the huge amount of 
time it takes to render anything worthwhile. Man del Blitx 
attempts make them more accessible as pt uses new alge- 
rithms to greatly hasten the rendering process. In fact, it is 
Instantly apparent that Mandel Bliti 1$ doing something special 
as you watch the unusual 
way that it renders fractal 
images. Unlike most pack- 
ages which create their 
pictures one raster line at 

a time, crawling down the screen, Mandel Blitz 

just draws rough lines all over the screen before 

adding detail after wards* This re^riy is the fastest 

fractal generator I've ever seen. It's literaJly hun- 
dreds if not thousands of tJm#s quicker than most 

of the competition! 

Mandanim forms the perfect complement to 

Mandel Blitz because it animates fractal images. 

Having defined the number of frames to be ani- 

matedp and the exact areas to be used, 

Mandanim will automatically render and save all 

of the necessary images. These can then be 

leaded into your favourite art package for inclu- 
sion in your own projects, or to be «aved in the 

compressed .anim format. This program is easy 

to u&»^ and the results are worth the effort. 

The final program, ZPIot^ describes Its funofien 

»s being able to 'Graph formulas based on 4-D 

complex number planes'. In practice^ this means 

that you can give the program a complex formula, 

and it will draw a colourful 3D representation of it. I didn't really understand ho wr this 

program worked at alU but I loved the results. Strictly PD, Disk UtiiZirikifiii 



HARD DRIVE UTIUTIES - pd 

Hard drive owners will be aware of how tedious it is to make baGl<'Up copies of all 
data on their drives, especially if thgy have a high storage capacity. Fortunately, 
there are a number of utilities which can make life easier, and many of them are 
grouped together on this disk. 

When you make a back-up of your hard drive, you don't want to copy files that 
have already been saved earlier. By using the Date option of pfograms such as 
MRBack-up and Kwik back-up, you carr specify only files created after a certain 
date for duplication. Also included are Fixdisk and Sectorama, programs which are 
invaJuable in helping the user to recover damaged or lost data from either a floppy 
or hard disk, 

Bringing up the rear are DiskPerf, FMSDisk and ClickDOS. ClickDOS is a file 
copier and mover similar to SID and Diskmaster. although somewhat mofe primi- 
tive. FMSDisk and DiskPerf help tc improve the performance of your hard drive, 
although they're definitely not tools for the beginner. Overall, a very handy disk 
which may be worth hundreds of pounds to hard drive owners

SOZABON C - PD 

C Is erne of the most popu- 
lar languages on the 
Amiga. Offering the power 
of machine code, but only 
slightly harder to learn 
than Basic, it's the per- 
fect choice for woultf'he 
coders to learn. With the 
appearance of the new 
Sozation D compiler, that 
possiblity is more likely 
than ever. 

The package comprises 
ail of the programs 
required to write C pro- 
grams. These Include a 
text editor, linlier, bug 
checker, disassembler 
and, of course, the com- 
piler itself. Full 
documentation is included 
although there's a rather 
childish snipe at 
Amiga nuts buried in there 
which seems unnecces- 
sary. Never-the-less, this 
seems to be the most com- 
plete putflic domain C 
package yet available, 
and demonstrates the 
spiritofFD very well. 
Excellent quality software 
available to all for nothing 
more than the cost of a 
disit and postage!

PRODUCT TEST 




GREAT VALUE 

Manif Amiga users have discovered 
what superb value for niDney ttie Canon 
BJ-1 Oe represents, with its near-laser 
print quality and relatively cheap price 
tag. Now the printer is even more pow- 
ertul thanks to a company called 
System Insight They produce a colour 
kit which allows it to print colour pictures 
which are superior to those of printers 
costing five times the price. 

Because each screen must be 
coloured four times, full colour printing 
Is only available using the optional ASF- 
6410 auto sheet -feed &r- one for each of 



thd four primary colours. Therefore, it's 
essential that the page is fined up 

exactly each time it's fed through the 
printer. Unfortunately, it's not possible to 
achieve the required degree of precision 
feeding the paper by hand. 

A MESSY BUSINESS 

The colour kits are available in two con- 
figurations. For owners who already 
have a few empty BJ-1 Oe ink cartridges, 
a refill kit will suffice, which allows the 
user to fill the old cartridges with 
coloured ink. This kit includes cleaning 
solution so that excess black ink can be 



HANDY HI NTS wnen using colour refill cartndg&&, the ink doesn t alway IIdw as scan as 
im start prirfing. Before rynning each separation, test Ihe ink flow on a blank sheet of paper. If 
there appears to be a blockage, running the prinl&r's aulo -cleaning routine a couple ol limes wiil 
usually clear it. 11 net, use M old cleaning Hold botlle to pump air inlo the cartridge until suflicient 
pressure starts the ink flowing again. 



removed from the carts before filling. 
Gloves are also supplied so that you 
donl have to get ink on your hands! 
Refining old oartridges. though, is an 
arduous task, which involves pumping 
cleaning fluid and then air through them 
until all the ink-stained fluid has been 
elected. On the downside, I discovered 
that the dried ink inside oW black car- 
tridges seems to re -dissolve after a 
couple of weeks, staining the coloured 
ink now in the cartridge. 

Alternatively, colour kits can be pur- 
chased supplying already-filled 
coloured ink cartridges. I recommend 
buying your first like this, but if money's 
a bit tight, at least buy a yellow car- 
tridge as a freshly-cleaned cartridge 
may still contain spots of black which 
taints yellow the most,.

ADDRESS BOOK 

You can contact System Insight at: 

12a Woritsworth Court, Middlefield, 

Hatfield, Herts, ALIO OEF. 

Tel: 0707 276913. 



HOW IT WORKS 

Printing on the BJ-10e is acini e-ved using 
the same technique as commercial 
colour printers employ,. A full colour 
image is created using cyan, magenta, 
yellow and black separations of the 
screen to be printed. These must first be 
converted to shades of grey, and printed 
using the Grey Scale option of an art 
package. Each separation is printed, 
using the appropriately-coloured ink, 
and it's the collective effect of these that 
creates a full colour image. 
Unfortunately, this is a very time and 
labour-intensive process, but for limited 
use^ the results more than justify the 
effort. 



VERY SPECIAL 

The BJ-1 Oe can print at a resolution of 
360x360 dots per inch (DPI), which is 60 
DPI higher than most laser printers. This 
means that it's capable of greater sub- 
tlety of shading, and can produce a 
resolution of colour mixing that leaves 
all other home printers dead. Even the 
ever- popular Hewlett Packard Paint Jet 
is only capable of a resolution of 
180x160,

Any black and white 
printer can produce 
full-colour images 
provided you can 
obtain different 
coloured 
ribbons for it. 
The process involves

three straightforward 
stages, which can be 
simplified even further 
if you own the right 
software-

combined, IhQy Croats a jingle full-colour Imaga. 



SEPARATIONS 

Tiie first stage involves generating the 
four colour separated screens that jfou ll 
need to print later. Every image, regard- 
less of its complexity, or the number of 
colours it uses, can be broken down into 
four basic colour constituents: black, 
cyan, magenta and yellow. 

Different colours are created by mix- 
ing these four elements in varying 
amounts. For example, shades of green 
are created by mixing amounts of cyan 
and yellow together, whereas orange is 
created using magenta and yellow. 
Although you can calculate the colour 
separations yourself, it's far easier to 
use image processing software such as 
Fl&xidump 10 generate the images. 
Simply load the required screen into 
Fl^xfdump and select 'Separation' from 
the 'Options' menu, A number of sepa- 
ration types are available, but the one 
you'll need is called YMCK. Click on one 
of the letters to create a single separa- 
tion, ie Yfor a Yellow separation. I donl 
know why but K=Black''"Grey. 



NO SHEET FEEDER? 

If your prfnier doesn t have an aiilomatic sheet 
feeder, or lias one that is tnac curate, ypu cin 
still atlempt Ld prirrl colciur pictures: 

When yQu l^ed your paper intD tha prinler 
ready tm\h% first prini, make small pencil marks 
on tlie printercasing lo indicate where the edges 
sliQuld be when you leed it jn far cDnseculive 
passes. Also, lake care to ensure that the sheet 
iis pushed as lar intQ the primer as it will p wjlh- 
out fore i no or bending II. These measures should 
hopefuMy ensure th^l every sh^et o1 paper moves 
thrGugh your prinl^r in ^K^cllyliie same position. 



A perfect image will then t>e created. 
You 11 need to load your original screen 
for each colour of the process, but once 
it's finished you can keep the separa- 
tions on file for future use. 

Once a colour separation has been 
crealed, you1l tiave a screen composed 
entirely of shades of that colour (sixteen 
shades to be precise), 

GREY DAYS 

For the next step, you'll need to convert 
your sixteen shade colour separation. 
into a siKteen-shade grey scale ifnage 

When you come to print your separa- 
tions, you II be printing using the grey 
scale option of your art package. Using 
ttiis option, the computer converts all 
colours into a brightness value, which it 
then translates into one of sixteen 
shades of grey. It then sends this grey 
image to the printer, ff you tried to print 
coloured separations without converting 
them to grey scale, bright separations 
such as yellow would all be translated 
into light shades of grey for the printer s 
purposes. 

If you own Fisxidump, you can easily 
convert coloured screens into grey 
scale ones. Load your image and select 
'Balance' from the 'Options' menu and a 
box will appear containing six sliders. 
Select the Saturation' slider and move 
it down as far as it will go (-1 5), then 
click on 'Draw' and close the box. Your 
image is now in grey, so save it ready 
for phnting. 

If you don't own Ft&xidump, you can 
still convert your pictures into grey scale 
using DPaint, it just takes a bit longer. 
Load your single-colour separated 
screen into DPa^'mand call up the 
palette by pressing 'P'. Select any

^ colour in the palette that ^ou wish to 
convert to grey scale, and look at the 
positions of the RGB sliders. You'll find 
that one of them is adjusted whi(st the 
other two remain set at fifteen. All you 
have to do to convert a colour to its 
grey scale equivalent, is move the other 
two sliders until they're level with the 
odd one out. Then save the screen for 
later use. 

Once you've converted all three of 
your colour separations to grey scale 
images, you're ready to pnnt 
Incidentally, the fourth separation 
(black} is afready in grey scale format 
and doesn't need converting. Ail that 
remains is to make the four prints. 
There are a number of ways that you 
can approach the order in which you 
print the colours. If you're using ribbon, 
it's probably wise to print the yellow and 
magenta separations first because the 
ribbons may become stained if you print 
them on top of darker colours. 

If you're using a bubble jet printer, 
you ought to print your separations 
according to which require the least 
phnting. The more white on a screen, 
the less ink needs to be squirted onto 
the page. Better results are achieved if 
you print the least ink- intensive screens 
first. Good luck!

TIPS Even twilh a sheet feeder Jt can soinetimes be difficult to line up IFie paper exadlf 
after the lirst print. This is due to the paper stretching as tha wet ink loosens the wood fibret 
There are a number of ways to reduce this elkct: 

1 . Print the separations with the least detail first so that the paper doesnl become ink^ 
logged too early, 

2. Use a heavier weight o1 paper which is less prone to stretching. I preler cartridge paper 
because it also holds the ink better and procTu^es more even colouring 

3 . Ensure that the paper is lolly seated into the sheet feeder each time liy grippini it firmlf 
at the lop and pushing downwards. 

4 After a (couple of prints, the edges of ihe paper can become dog-eared. Make sure that 
you smooth the paper out before feeding it inlo the printer. 

5. Make sure that the paper guide on the sheet leeder is pressed as i^lose la the edges of 
ihe paper as possible. This reiuces the possibility of the pap^r 'wobbling' as Its fed IhrougJi 
Iha printer. 

¥du may also find that your images come out very dark once printed, and this is usually 
due 1o the lilack element of the process. You can easily adjust the colour balance ol a picture 
using DPaint To reduc^e the amount of black, and therefore lighten the printed Image, Id^i 
the l^lack separation into DPmt^nii call up the palette hy pressing 'P\ Select any shade Df 
grey, then lift the S' slider by three positions. Repeat ibis process lor every colour in M 
palelle, and save the screen. Your screens will now appear much lighter when printed.

PRODUCT TEST 



STORING DAIA ON IHE CHEAP 

if you want a cheap alternative to a hard drive 
on which to store your vaiuabie data, Graham 
Cohen has the answer; Video tape! 



Having just sper^t £400 on a new com- 
pi/ler the la$t thing you want to be tolid is 
that you ve got to pay another E30O for a 
hard drive. WeU. don't be taken in by the 
sales talk, because rhere are alternatives 
and you. too, can experience easy, fast and 
cheap data access and storage for a traction 
dt thB prioe. If yoLiYe sick of constant disk 
swappfng and huge gaps of silence in be- 
tween your favourite game's levels, but don't 
have an untraceable Swiss Bank account, 
Ihen thrs system coufd be for you. 

The Video Back-Up System^ is an amaz- 
ingly cheap product from German company 
ftossmoller Handshake of Cologne. 
Rossmoller have been m the Commodore 
market for ten years and have consistantfy 
defivered superb products from memory 
ejtpansions to accelerator boards. They^v^ 
now come up with the most original budget 
back-up system yet which makes use of con- 
ventional video tapes and household VCRs 
to slore digital data 
Costing about E70, the backup system 



comes wffh all the necessary connection 
leads to link up An Amiga to a VCR, as well 
as the all-important control software, a man- 
ual and - unbefievably - 1 60Mb of free PD 
software (201 Fred Fish disks) on a video 
tape. One VHS 240 minute tape wiil back up 
around 200Mb on a recorder in Standard 
Play (SP) mode. The hardware itself, buift 
into the connection cables, encodes the data 
from the Amiga using 'modem '-style t^h- 
niques and converts that 10 an audio 
frequency and composite video for direct 
input to the relevant connections of the 'in' 
sockets on the machine. 
The software controls whether the data 

hack-up will fnclude selected 

directories, 

archived data or 

files that have 

changed sfnce last 

being backed- up. 

Restoration of a 

hard disk or floppy 

is also made pain- 



less as the software incorporates a system 
of synchronising the video tape to that of the 
Amiga^s clock. Due to its low cost, the sys- 
tem offers an ideal aflernative to 
tape-streamed and floppy-disk back-ups. 
However, as two domestic video players are 
rarefy alike, a restoration via another 
recorder couid cause problems. The number 
of variables associated with thfs form of data 
transfer, such as video head aJignment. 
tracking control tape tension, motor speed 
and even humidity, will always make this 
method of data back-up a gamble. 



VERDICT 



• Extreniefy citBap 

• Debatable reliability 

• Free softwaie 

• l*Ds$ibl)r fiddly td coinect Ut vf dee 



HARDDMVIi' 

If you really want to be able to just 
sit back and watch your Amiga 
safely download all its valuables, 
then state-of-the-art conies with a 
heavy price tag. 

The OP150 streamer from Omega Projects offers state-of-the- 
■ art hard dtsk back-up for alJ the Amfga models and boasts 
some impressive performance specs, but it's not cheap Your 
£630 buys you the external ml and a first free tape, The data 
trar^sfer is very quick - m.5k per second? Tapes are avaifable 
as either 150 or 250Mb formatted cartridges and an/ industry 
standard (DC600XTD, DC6150 or DC6250J tapes will be compat- 
ible. The device features an effective media/head foading 
mechanism to protect the head from damage during load/unload 
procedures, assuring accurate heacf-to-tape alignment and qui- 
eter operation, Being fully SCSI/your favourite back up software 
can be used, although a copy of AMI-Back is bundled as the con- 
trol software (normally costing E49.99}. If you have had to back 
up over 100Mb of hard dfsc onto floppies, you'll koow what a 

iaborious task it 







VERDICT 



• High quarry meehanlsni 

• Very fast Iraiiifer 

• 100% reliable 

• Could be a bit too pricey for some 

• User-friendly 



iS- This system is 
ideal for anybody 
who has been in 
that time-consum- 
ing position and 
has the cash to 
relieve the prot^ 
lem. 



Whichever system \n hardware yiju qt> Iqr . and Wiere are many mere is no

MOTORWAY MADNESS 

Route planners have teen available to 
PC owners for Donkey's years, yet, sur- 
prisingly, very few have made the 
journey over to the Amiga. However, in 
response 1o all you lost souls out there, 
Complex's GB Route is here to plan out 
the shortest and fastest routes between 
any two points - and between any three 
areas you care to mention. 
Unfortunately, the package limits you to 
the main Motorways and A- Road, but 
presumably this is because memory 
restrictions stopped them from incorpo- 
rating the country s many backstreets. 

The package's best asset is its 
speed. If you were asked to describe the 
quickest route from Hammersmith to 
Rotherham. GB Route will have

answered before you cf even opened the 
A-2. In fact, it can predict most journeys 
fn a mere two seconds. The database is 
very comprehensive and the user can 
zoom in at any part, allowing them a 
closer look at key areas. 

OUT OF OAS 

All route requests are entered via a 
prompt window, which requires your 
starting point, destination, and any 
places you may wish to visrt on the way. 
In addition, it wpIJ also ask how much 
petrol your car uses per mile, the price 
of petrol; and the time you wish to leave. 
From here, the broken-down route will 
appear, including an estimation of the 
fuel's cost, and the length of your jour- 
ney. You can even vary the road speeds

to take bad traffic into account, as A- 
Road traffic can be as slow as 20MPH 
on a busy day. 

Although this is a very handy utility, 
forty quid does seem rather steep for 
what is basicaily an A-Z. And despite 
the excellent presentation and afore- 
mentfoned ease of use and speed, the 
price stops GB Route from becoming a 
'must have/

Euiopress Software's blockbusting Fun 
School Series continues apace with a 
fourth collection off programes added to 
the stable. Garth Sumpter went back to 
school to access the merits of the new set 
of disks and awards the marks out of ten. 

BACK TO SCHOOL The FunScfiootsetiBz has afwa^s been CDnsidered 
some of ihe best edjcational software thai money can buy By disDuisino the 
inherent educational worth of their programs behind a colourful veneer nf fun 
IhB senes has captured the imaginatiDn of children and the admiration o1 par- 
ents alike. With thB fourth set ef disks in the highl^acciaimed series poisud 
10 hil ttie stjftshops, we took a look at both the Under Fives collection and Ihe 
more elaborate 7-11 year old educational package. 



FUN SCHOOl 4: Ff VI AND UNDER 

This package covers four areas of learning: Numerical exercises that 
attempt to introduce numbers up to nine, the addition of numbers that 
involve counting exercises aas well as addition as abstracts i e 5+2 = ? 
and a drawing package, The latter program is especfally ' 
useful in promoting hand/eye co-ordination and invoJving 
I keys, reading and colour recognition exercises. Each 
subject IS introduced in games whicfi use a Teddy Bear 
as their central motif and character. 

ADDITION 

The first game has Teddyf in a nursery school where he's 
shown up to nine objects on a blackboard and must choose 
a_number corresponding to the objects on display. 
Each correct answer allows one of the Teddy Bear 
nursery school's inmates to escape to the play 
ground. Nice to see that some traditional school 
values remain u n changed . 

Level two introduces simple addition. As the addi- 
tion rs done in symbols (two frogs plus two balls), the answer 
can be obtained by counting and, if compfeted correctly the 
nextlevel sees the removal of the symbols so that you have 
to work in the more abstract concept of numbers, 

TIDDY PAINT 

This game helps familiarise children with the computer keyboard and the 
mouse. A blank drawing board can be painted on the screen usinq the 
S! T1 ^ifS^'^' ^^^^ ^^*'"^^ ^" ^ "^^^^ ^^^^^" This is probably the 
SS .i^f th ' ^^"^^^ - '^ *^' '^"" ""' ^^^^'^9 -s to nurture the child's 
creatrye side, then why use such a complicated system of keyboard 
entry to change colours and pencil shapes and thus reduce the art pack- 
age into a test of memory? As the art package refies heavily on the 
mSreLlcat^ "^'"^ on-screen icons to change colour would have been 

FUN TRAIN 

Now it's the child's reading ability that comes under scrutiny, Teddy is at 
(tie fun fair and the fun train rs there. A picture has the name of the 
object written on it and Ted, for it is he, drives the fun train and pulls a 
picture into view, Is it the same as the one already shown^ If it 
IS, press enter and, if not, use the space bar to pull on another

TEDDY'S KARAOKi 

I'm afraid that Karaoke is spreading 
everywhere and even chfldren s soft^ 

ware is unsafe from the embarassing 
pastime. Unfortunately, nursery rhymes 
are exceflent things to use to aid reading 
- children can learn the words to a song 
witti ease and a bouncing balf moves 
thenn through the words of the song. 
This is an excellent and speedy form of 
word familiarisation and possibly the 
fastest reading aid on the disk. Level 
two has the child tapping out the beat of 



the song to get the notes to play in tme 
and level three has song breaks where 
the first letter of certain words have to 
be entered. I see very little use in this 
exercise, except for musical chairs, but 
the excellent first fevei more than com- 
pensates. 

TEDDY'S BOOKS 

The fioaJ game in the program is a num- 
bers game. Daddy Ted fs reading 

bedtime stories from a sheff of six num- 
bered books. The child must enter the 
number of the book he s using by ffnding 
the missing number fn the series. On 
jevef two, the books are not in ascend- 
ing numericaf order and so the task is 
complicated by having to work out which 
book is missing. If a guess proves to be 
wrong then theyVe told to guess again, 
choosing a higher or lower value, 
emphasising the idea of quantitative 
value. 

On the whole, I found this program to 



be excellent. The number games, espe- 
cially Teddy's Books, are wefl-planned 
and reasonably good fun to play, and 
they teach precise numerical skills and 
ideologies - counting, relational values, 
number order, addition and sequence. 
These are aH key ideas that are put 
across fairly well and make the software 
worth its price tag. Numeracy is the 
strong point of this package with bal- 
anced and gentiy progressive exercises,. 
Graphics are very large and simply 
coloured and, although simple, they 
don't detract from the exercises at all.

FUN SCHOOL 4: 7- ri YBAR OtDS 

The six programs in this package cover 
Mathematics, Geography, History and General 
Knowledge, Maths has three separate skills repre- 
sented in six different games- Each are a part oi 
an overall plot; that of Agent Sammy who must 
track down the thief who stole the ancient riches 
and secret papers of King Raram. It's not a great 
plot, but the theme is maintained throughout the 
games, giving some continuity to the prnfieedlng 
and a goal for the child to aim for - an important 
factor for any child who is likely to ask, Why'?' and 
What am I doing this for?' 

PROPORTIONS 

This game, as the name suggests, tries to develop 
the Ideas of percentage, decimals and fractions as 
a way of expressing the relationship of parts to a 
whole. By showing a screen of obfects, and then 
asking for the ratio of like or similar objects as a 
sub-set of the whofe, this might sound very compli- 
cated but the game progresses sensibly through 
each of the three tests. 

In the first our diminutive secret agent enters spy school 
and IS faced with ten spies. He's asked questions like 'What 
proportion of spjes have green coats?' Little Agent Sammy 
must then identify the colour of the coats and how many are 
visible. The answers will be expressed either as a decimal 
■'^n*,/V '^ ^^^ answer is four out of ten), as a percentage 
(40%}, or a good old-fashioned fraction - decided efther by 
the computer or by selecting the type of answer needed 




(fraction, decimal or percentage} from the keyboard 

Each correct answer allows a doubie agent to hand on a 
secret paper to Sammy. 

EXCHANGE RATES 

The second program introduces the idea of differing rates of 
exchange amongst European countries, ft requires chiidren to 
use multiplication and division skills so that Sammy can collect

I > the varfous Items he needs for his mis- 
sion. 

TIMETABLE 

Once oof hero has coifected liis (ravel 
bag and other essentiai, It's onto the air- 
port. This three-stage game has the 
Child calculating departure and arrivaf 
tfmes on either a 24-hour cfock or 
am/pm. 

GEOGRAPHY 

Sammy has to navfgate a plane, boat 
submarine or hot-air balloon across vari- 
ous continents and oceans in searcli of 
clues. The first level asks no questions 
and IS used to famifiarise the chiJd with 
the names of each country for later in 
the game. By level two, children are 
asked to identify specific countries. As 
the levels unfold, the player is then 
asked to identify major seas, cities, 
rivers, island and famour landmarks. 

HISTOIIY 

This game trfes to Introduce and rein- 
force the century, decade and year of 
famous historical events A question is 
asked and then Sammy is moved 
around a pyramid to break up the stone 
with the correct date on it to reveal 
gems and artifacts - sort of grave rob- 
bing for beginners. This is well done as 
each historical date is narrowed down 
on subsequent levels. 

SPY QUIZ 

Everyone's favourite, no matter what 
age, has to be general trivia. The only 
problem here is that some of the ques- 
tions in Spy Quiz are a little more 
specific, calling for not only general 
knowledge, but also mathematics and 
spellrng. 

OVERALL 

This package is a big improve rfient upon ' 
Fun Schoo! 3 with each module being 
progressive, entertaining and. above all

pitching at just the right level for the age 
groups concerned. Graphics are crisp 

but animation is minimal and possibly 
the weakest area of expertise. Provision 
IS made for control by mouse but the 
choice of keyboard keys is sometimes 
puzzling. The space bar, for example, is 
used to move around high lighted 
options, when learning to use cursor 
keys would seem a better idea. 



VERDICT 



• Still the best eriuDational package 
available 

• Covers maths in iepth 

• No steep learning curves 

• The sou nil and graphics are wnohtru- 
sive to the pofnt o^ being very a^rerage, 

• Mouse control induded dm some key 
oil Dices are illngrcal.

CREATURi FEATURE 

Back in 1989, RGB Studios, a small 
Sussex-based company, impressed the 
Amiga world with the release of their 
Real Things Horses collection, 

Comprising numerous animated horses 
suitable for inclusion within the user's 
own demos etc, the product was only 
the first of a successfyJ series of ani- 
mated studies. Now, in a burst of 
pre-Christmas activity. RGB have 
^@ leased not one, but two new portfolios: 
Rsat Things Safari ^nd Real Things Sea 
UfB. 

ROCK LOBSTER 

R&ai Things Sea Life com- 
prises thirty-one 




animations, depicting eleven types of 
sea life ranging from sharks and sting 
rays to anemones and crabs - it also 
takes the prize for the most bizarre sub- 
ject for an animation with its Plankton 
anim.bri:ish! Like Real Things Safari, 
Sea Life contains scenery, demonstra- 
tion material and a construction utility for 
the user to assemble themselves, this 
time illustrating a shark. 

The co( lection is every bit as attrac- 
tive as its land-based partner, and 
presents the user with the opportunity to 
create vibrant and realistic animated 
scenes. RGB Studios say that Reai 
Things can only be used on 
J s Amigas with one 
4^m§0^ megabyte or more, and if 
' "^C' you want to use it with 
OP^^/^N// or /^this is true. 
However^ if you don t wish to 
edit the animations and merely 
want to incorporate them into 
your own demos, half a meg is 
enough if you use a scripting 
package such as the Directof. 
Alternately, they can be instantly 



compressed and animated using Power 
Packer and PPAnim, 

WILD THANG... 

Real Things Safari contains eleven dif- 
ferent animals vividly brought to life in 
eighteen animations. There are lions. 
tigers, zebras, wildebeest, elephants 
and giraffes. And, to complete the 
menagerie, there are three kinds of 
monkey. 

The first of this two-disk set contains 
a demo showing a leopards as seen

OUT FOR A BITE... 

Yoy can learn a lot about the 
way animals are feeling from 
the body language they give off. 
Like humans, animals adopt dif- 
ferent postures aeoording to 
their moods. Examples of this 
ean be seen through out the ani- 
mal kingdom, ranging from the 
exotic (and often comicalj 
courtship rituals of birds, to the 
more subtle warning signals 
given off by dogs and sharks. 

Most people are familiar with 
the way that the hackles (hair) 
stands up straight on the back 
of a dog's neck when It's getting 
ready to fight. Portrayed as 
vicious creatures in films such 
as Jawsi most sharks are docile 
creatures whioh don't go out of 
their way to attack^ or even 
approach^ humans. They do, 
however, have a great deal of 
curiosity about their environ- 
nient, and it is this that has lead 
to a large percentage of so- 
called shark attacks. Beiiause 
they don't have limbs to feel 
objects that arouse their Inter- 
est, sharks resort to biting them 
to find out more, and it'^ these 
exploratory nibbles 
that are often misin- 
terpreted as attacks. 
Mind you, the great 
white has a bite pres- 
sure of well over one 
ton per square inch, 
so you donH really 
want it to 'explore' 
you if you can help it! 
If you ever find your- 
self facing a shark| 
and it appears to bow 
to you, rucking the 
^kin of its neck into 
great folds, look out^ 
because this is the 
signal that a shark 
feels threatened and 
is about to attack!

through long grass. This impressive 
scene immediateiy indicates the stan^ 
dards Ihat the user can achieve. The 
scenery is quite sinnple. but the animal 
iteeff is iittle slior! of photographic in 
quality. J could almost hear tine grass 
rustling! 

Also on the same disk is something 
that RGB call a Zebra construct. Despite 
its technical-sounding name, this rs sim- 
ply a series of individual screens which 
you can join together to create a running 
zebra I'm not a hundred percent sure 
why RGB included it on the disk, but my 
guess would be that it's there to give 
you an appreciation of the process 
involved in creating your cmn anima- 
tions. Whatever their reasoning, the 
zebra is an impressive showcase. 

In the Line & PaJette directory, there's 
an animated lioness which has been 
created using an esttremiely stylised 
fashion, describing the animal in broad, 
bands of light and shade rather than 
attempting to represent every sJngle hair 
on fts body. This is an interesting way of 
depicting the beast because muscle 
movement is highlighted, giving far 
greater clarity than if it had included 
much more detail. Although ft^s the only 
animal represented in this manner, it 
reminds the user to view things from dif- 
ferent perspectives. The remaining 
animals are all stored as anim. brushes 
and this means that they can be 
included in an e)(isting animation or pic- 
ture without having to mess around with 
spars screens, etc 

The icing on the cake can be found 
on the second disk^ where a number of 
scenery elements are stored. These 
include grasses, trees and some valu- 
able tips on creating shading for 
complicated shapes. 



ANIMAL 
CRACKERS 

The people at RGB 

Studios are clearly great 
nature lovers and profi- 
cient artists. Each 
animation has been lov- 
ingly rendered so that, 
rather than being just a 
pixellated' representation 
of an animal, it conveys 
the essence of the ani- 
mal's nature. 

It woufd be too easy to 
simply cfpgitise and tidy up 
a picture, but to capture 
the sense of majesty and 
latent power about the ani- 
mal requires more than 
just a camera. The crea- 
tes

PRODUCT TEST 



tures included in both sets are drawn 
using the minimum number of colours 
possible. RGB Studios say that this is to 
make them accessible to users with the 
smallest amount of available memory. 
As most animations are created in six- 
teen-colours or less, it also means that 
creatures using different palettes can 
still be incorporated into the same 
scene. 

CONCLUSiaN 

All ho ugh most users are bound to 
derive pleasure doodling with Real 
Things, they are clearly capable of much 
more than that. Forming an exciting 
addition to an already superb collection, 
there is a marked improvement fn the 
quality of the mages over their prede- 
cessors. Addjtionaily. the enclosacf 
manual is full of valuable tips to help the 
user get the best from them Although 
they are a little pricey for such a specific 
task, Real Things Safari and Sea Life 
can be thoroughly recommended as an 
interesting aside. 



VERDICT

• Can be used with any packages that sup- 
port the anim. brush format

Laser printers offer high print quality at an 
equally high price. Paul Clarke looks at the Star 
Laser Printer 4 to see If it offers anything new.

Prinlef4isona 

of th« new 

breed cf cheap 

printers. 



The printer company, Star, have an 
immense reputation, particularly 
among first-time buyers, but who 
l^nows tliat the company also makes out- 
price faser printera? 

LIGHT SPEED? 

The Laser Printer 4 {LP4) claims to offer 
professional-quality printfng at a budget 
prfce. It prints at four A4 pages per 
mir^ute {peak performance), and 
aftfiough thfs may sound fast compared 
to dot matrix printers, it's slow as tar as 
laser printers go, with most printing at sh 
pages pe r m i nute or more . 

EASY START-UP 

Before printing, the LP4 must be config- 
ured to work with the Amiga, and as long 
as the comprehensive instructfon man- 
ual is 

followed to 
the fetter, 
this is a sim- 
ple task 
which 
shouldn't 
take more 
than ten 
minutes. 






^ 






jf 


"?^ 




' '■ s- 





The LP4 is capable of emulating an 
Epson FX830 or a HP Laserjet IJ, with 
IBM Proprirtter emLlation also available 
as an optional extra. I used the HP 
LaserJet J driver from the Workbench 1 3 
extras dfsk, and, although this was not 
the exact driver specified, I fourwj no 
"problems printing either text or graphics, 
All the set-up routines are accessed via 
programming pads on the front of the 
pnnter, alongside which is an LCD dis- 
play window to show selections as 
they're made. 

As usual, the printer is connected to 
the Amiga via the parallel interface, 
although AppleTalk and Serial interfaces 
are also available for use with other 
computers. 

FIELD TEST 

I tested the printer with a variety of pack- 
ages, including DPaint, Scribble! and

Pfof&ssionat Page. I was very 
impressed with the subtlety of the 
graphics printing, and found that It was 
also capable of producing a fufi slxteen- 
shade spread from black to white. 
When printing text from a word proces- 
sor, the LP4 was more than adequate in 
terms of quaiity, although Vm not a great 
fan of the standard typefaces that are 
provided with it Instead of Courier and 
Linephnter, I would have liked to have 
seen Star show the same imagination 
that they did with their dot matrix print- 
ers, and provide some creative -lookina 
fonts. ^ 

As graphics have to be down-loaded 
a whole page at a time, the LP4 comes 
wrth one meg of memory as standard, 
and this can be upgraded up to 4MB if 
required. The machine I used had 2MB 
and this was quite sufficient for the most 
complicated pages that I could find to 
print. It was when printing pages from 
my Pro Pag& DTP package, that I dis- 
covered how slow a four-page per 
minute printer is. Although it can print 
four pages per minute once they're 
down-loaded, it takes the same time to 
down-load a picture to the LP4, as it 
does to transmit to a dot matrix printer. 
When printing a full page, complete with 
text and structured and bit-mapped 
graphics, [found the LP4 took as much 
as fifteen minutes to print a single sheet. 
Had f printed the same page ten times, 
only the first page would have taken that 
long, with all consecutive ones only tak- 
ing about fifteen seconds each. 

The LP4 is available with or without 
Post-Script compatibility (which allows 
far greater image and font manipuia- 
tron). The standard version costs 
£999,99 and the Post-Script version 
£1399,99. 

The LP4 is not partfcuJarly cheap 
and, if you hunt around, you can find 
superior laser printers in the same price 
bracket. Compared to a dot matrix 
printer, the quality of the output was 
superb, but pitted alongside other laser 
printers of this price, the LP4 s was 
rather ordinary. 

It was a lujtury to have a laser pnnter 
available for a few weeks^ but pound for 
pound, I'd much sooner stick with my 
Canon BJ-iOe bubble fet. It's not as 
fast, but the ink cartridges are cheaper. 
It's easier to maintain, dhd it doesn't 
take up nearly as much space. 



VERDICT 



• Farsiiperlortolhc bestdot matrix printer 
« Not as cheap as it might be 

• Very Basyto-use inslalljttton routines 

• Fairly compact size 

• Prints four pages per rainutB (slow) 

• Very quiet

f you're interested in home video pro- 
duction, and already use a Genlock, 
Kara fonts could be just the thing to 
add a little extra polish to your produc- 
tions. They're sophisticated fonts which 
movep and there are several sets avail- 
able. Each set comprises a standard 
Amiga font and an animated font in the 
selected style. 

The former typeface is a full-colour 
font which can be loaded and typed 
Ihrough any package which supports 
cx>lour fonts. The latter provides the user 
with an entire alphabet, including upper 
and lower case letters and symbols 
each stored individually in the anim. 
brush format. 



Add style to 
your video pro- 
ductions with 
some animated 
typefaces. Mat 
Broomfleid gets on tlie move with Kara fonts. 






ANIMATED FONTS 

To create animated words, the text to be 
animated must first be typed using the 
normal font. Having transferred this text 
to a spare screen, it's used as a tem- 
plate when adding the anim, brush 
letters, a character at a time. The pro- 
cess is quite time-consuming, but is 
considerably quicker than drawing each 
frame manually. A number of different 
palettes are also provided, and these 
will let the user transform the entire 
appearance of their animations in sec- 
onds, effectively 
increasing the number 
of fonts available. 



CONCLUSION 

Kara "s Animated Fonts 
are a great idea which 
will save the user hours 
of time. They're simple 
and enjoyable to use, 
and will add a truly pro- 



fessional appearance to any productions, 
be they on video or on the Amiga. 

if you're as concerned about the fin^ 
ishing touches of your creatfons, as you 
are about the rest of it, Anim. fonts will 
ensure that your work starts and ends in 
real style. 



VERDICT 



• Easv to use animate ri fants 

• Create professional results quickly 

• Idea Mar vid&o productions

If you want to create professional demos or presentations, The Director II 
from Riglit Answers is the essential accessory. Mat Broomfield rolls 'em... 



JACK OF ALL TRADES 

There are countless packages which 
can play musjc and samples, show pic- 
tures, replay animations or synchronise 
sound to motion. Director // is one of the 
few pacl^ages which can do all of these 
functions and a lot more besides. As its 
title implies, D/rector /Tchoreographs all 
the different eiements which go towards 
making a successful demo or educa- 
tional/business presentation. It can 
replay animations, in whoie or part, and 
it can play tunes saved in the SMLJS 
(Sonix) format. Additionally, it can dis- 
play screens using a variety of fade and 
wipe styles and combine areas of ooe 
picture with another both statically and 
as animations. In short, it's a complete 
demo studio, 

NEARLY BASIC 

Commands are issued to Director II via 
a programming language similar to 
Basic. In fact, many Basic commands 
are included and the syntax (grammar) 



is almost identical in some areas. For 
example, the program supports the use 
of FOR. .NEXT loops. IF THEN/ELSE 
statements and many other commands 
which Basic programmers wili recog- 
nise. 

Some commands have been refined 
and simplified so that theyVe easier to 
use. In many diaiects of Basic a 
FOR... NEXT loop requires a variable to 
be assigned at the start of the loop 
(FOR A=6 -NEXT A, for instance)- 
Director If allows you to abbreviate that 
tor FOR e ...NEXT Only the number Of 
repetitions of the loop needs to be spec- 
ified (six in this case}. On occasions 
where the variable name is required, it 
can tje given.

OF THE MACHINE 

At the heart of the package's abilities 
are special memory stores called 

buffers. Buffers are areas in memory 
into which graphics, sounds, music and 
fonts can be loaded, it^s the way that the 
program manipulates these buffers that 
makes it so special, though. 

There are two basic types of buffer: 
the chip buffer and the fast buffer with 
further sub-divisions according to what's 
stored in them. Understanding the differ- 
ence between the two can be crucial 
when creating effects. The blitter chip is 
a custom chip inside the Amiga which 
can move blocks of graphics around the 
computer's memory extremely quickly, 
thus making ft ideal for animation pur- 
poses. However, the blitter can only 
manipulate graphics stored in chip 
buffers. 

As you've probably guessed, chip 
buffers store their information in Chip 
RAM. As this is usually limited to a max-

This &up&rb ham animation of a 19503 jukebox uses fades and sprites sifnultaneous^y. 



imum of 2Mb, even on 
powerful Amigas, careful 
management is sofretimes 
required to create an effec-

SWAP5IE5 

This raises another very important con- 
cept which is integral to many of The 
Director $. operations: double buffering. 
Although The Director U C3.r\ manipulate 
anim. files, there are occasions when 
the user may prefer to animale by flip- 
ping through multiple screens 
(page- Hipping). Alternately, he may only 
wish to transform part of a screen by 
printing smaf I graphic characters onto it. 
Double buffering allows any of these 
operations to be carried out with ease. 
For example, there are occasions when 
a user may need to print a lot of text on 
to a screen. It's both time consuming 
and clumsy if the text was printed char- 
acter by character, so a duplicate is 
copied to an invisible buffer. Tlie text is 
then printed onto this buffer, which is 
only displayed once all the text is in 
position, thus making the whole process 
appear instantaneous and much more 
professional. Invisible buffers can also 
be used for image processing purposes, 
perhaps taking the currently displayed 
screen and altering its palette to create 
night-time or negative effects. 

WIPE OUT 

The Directoi'^ most basic use is for cre- 
ating si ides hows. However, even in this 
capacity it offers far more options than 
other construction packages. Using the 
Wipe, Fade, and Dissolve commands, 
screens can be made to disintegrate 
pixel by pixel or even to slide on and off 

the screen in several directions. 
There are various fade modes 
including one where aJI colour 
gradually drains from a screen or 
smoothly changes from the palette of 
one screen to that of another. 

Slideshows can be designed which 
either display new screens after a period 
of time, or respond to user input such as

mouse Glicks or key presses to activate 
screen changes. By extending this prin- 
ciple a little further, full -screen animation 
can be generated which rapidly displays 
sequential screens at a rate of up to 
about 20 per second Sprites can also 
be manipuJated. offering yet another 
way to generate animations. Also, these 
sprites can be moved freely over any 
$creen buffer regardless of whether they 
are visible. 

Director //can replay any IFF or 
SM US samples, allowing the possibility 
of adding atmospheric sound effects. 
Aithough the package can also replay 
music rnodules, it only deals with data 
stored in the outdated SMUS format. 
Programs such as Soriix and Deluxe 
Music Construction Set are capable of 
generating these files, but the quality of 
music is very limited compared to recent 
software such as MED Having said 
that, it does allow the executiori of CLI 
commands so there's no reason why 
you couldn't play a MED or 
Soundtrackeriune in this manner. 

Unfortunately, if you choose to load 
non-SMUS modules, you'll miss out on 
one of Dirsctor lis most eKciting fea- 
tures: audio-visual synchronisation. 
These are a special series of commands 
which tell the computer to react each 
tame certain instruments are played. For 
e3<ampler if you foad a SMUS score con- 
taining a drum, you can tell the 
computer to play a particular animation 
each time the drum occurs within the 
tune. 

Incidentally, Director I! also handles 
the SMUS MIDI format, so programs 
can be written which will play any MIDI 
compatible instalments you may own. 

EASY EDITING 

Unlike rts predecessor. Dfrector !! is sup- 
plied with its own editing software called 
D-Editirom which you can write, test 
and run your programs. It's extremely 
easy to use, and means that you can 
move from program to the finished result 
in virtually no time. D-Edit resembles a 
standard text -editor in many ways. It 
includes cut/paste options and 
search/replace facilities, however, it also 
provides direct access to most of the 
Director's other utilities, including the 
Library routines. Library routines can be 
very important when wo rising on a 
machine with limited memory. They also 
provide instructions fof some of the 
Wipe animation effects. If a program 
doesn't require these, they are ignored, 
thereby saving memory. Additionally, 
you can also add your own library rou- 
tines.

CONCLUSION 

Director ft is an extremely useful tool for 
linking together many diHerent types of 
data and turning them into impressive 
dem 6s. Whilst it s true that you 11 have to 
learn to program, the language is con- 
siderably easier to master than the likes 
of AMOS Basic. 

It's greatest failing is its inability to 
directfy support MED or Soundtracker' 
styie scores, which becomes especially 
irritating when sound-to-graphics syn- 
chronisation is required, it's by no 
means cheap, but it oould be the tool 
that finally allows many people to write 
their own demos

In 1989 Western Europeans threw away over 128 million 

printer ribbons. They weighed over 9,000 tonnes in total 

and would reach right around the world if laid end to end. 

A used ribbon cartridge is being thrown away somewhere inP 

the UK every second of every day. 

You can help put an end to this environmental waste and 

save some money at the same lime thanks to RE-iNK, a 

revolutionary new spray which brings new life to exhausted 

fabric printer ribbons, 

RE-iNK IS cost effective and simple to use. Simply open up 

your plastic ribbon cartridge, spray a few squirts of RE-fNK's special ink and lubricant formula 

and your ribbon is as good as new - sometimes even better!

MEMORY MAN 

There's no dispuiing jhe fact that ar^imation 
gobbles up memory - especially wheni coupled 
with Ray-tracing. To create animations of any 
duration using these Bystfini& requires either 
colossal processing pow&r or immense 
amounts of time. 

For users wtio simpfy require 3D reprBsenta- 
(ions o( abjecrs. rather than colourrperfecr 
duplications of them, a package such as 
Videosc3pe 3Dtury be the answer. Rather ihan 
attempting lo calculate the exact stiading of 
every point on an object, it uses greaily sirnpJi- 
fled pseudo-shading algorithms to generate 
areas of light and shade. Whilst it's hardly 100% 
realistic, though, these algorithms resuFt in 
objects which have visible depth and dimen- 
sions, and which are rendered in a fraction of 
the time rieeded to generate the Ray-Traced 
equivalent. 

Th-e latest vei^ion provides a r^umber of 
enhancements that add more power to the age- 
ing basic package. The addition ot HAM mode 
suppon. and new colour codes which add fur- 
ther realism. wHI doubtless prove to be welcome 
additions for people who' re tamiliar with the 
original program. 



SCAPE GOAT 

Videoscape 3D allows the user to render and 
anirrate complex scenes in e Iraction of the 
time it would take using a Ray-Tracing package. 
However, (he resultant image is appropriately 
less convincing as a representation of 'real^ 
objecis. As a presentation or educational tool. 
Vid$05cape 2.0 has some merits arid compared 
to packages such as ^fT?os 3D and the 3D 
Construction Kit, rt's far more powertui. The ani- 
mation toois allow 'movies' to be defined fairly 
quickly, and the addition of hierarchic motion 
(which specifies the movement of an obfect rel- 
ative 10 its 'parent') makes very complete 
anrmation feasible. Perhaps a little e;^pensive at 
E89.99. Videoscape \^ an interesting and 
speedy alternative to Ray-Tracing.

How about a light pen tliat looks good, feels 

right and makes artistry more easy? 

Mat Broomffleld draws his own conclusions. 



REDUNDANT MOUSE 

Many artists hate usi-ng a mouse. Trojan obviously 
recognised this because their Light Pen can draw 
direct Jy onto the screen. Made of smart grey plas- 
tic, it measures just under six inches, and has a 
Sfluare cross-section with each side approximatEly 
3/4 of an inch acre&s. It has two fingertip size-d 
buttons mounted close to its tapered end which 
replace the mouse buttons. 

The Light Pen pJugs into port h^^o at the back of 
the Amiga, and ca-exist& quite happily with the 
mouse, which car be left in the ot^er port as usual. 

Before it can be used, you must run the Light 
Pen installation software whicli is supplied on a 
n&rmal Worl^bench disk. This ca:n either be auto- 
hooted, or activated from CLI once your other 
software fi as loaded. 

Just point the pen at the screen, and provided 
youYe within rts range (about 7 fnches). the on- 
screen cursor will move wherever you want it to. 
Th€ button nearest the screen duplicates the left 
mouse Ijutton, with the ottier ooa simulating the 



right (button. I found that my index finger naturalty 
rested an the lower button whilst my middle finger 
sat snLigiy on the ottier one. 

The Light Pen mimics all the functions of th& 
mouse, but, warn Trojan, it'll only woi* with pro- 
grams that use the standard Amiga operating 
system. Most games and. surprisingiy, D-Pmtif 
don't, hut D-PaimfHauii ^V, mstcX. Pro Page, 
Audio MasWf H. and MED are just a few ot the pro- 
grams that definitely DO work with the unit. 

KWIK ON THE DRAW 

The Light Pen is also supplied with a proprietaFy 
art package cailed KmkOr^w. It provides a num- 
t>er of D-P^r>?/ style options including freehand 
draw, lines, circles and several other simpte tools. 
Trojan describe KwikOrawas a simple paint/draw- 
ing package, but it can still handle ali screen 
formats from sixteen colour right up to 4096 
coloured HAM mode. 

The pen worked exactly as described, and 
operated further from tlie screen than I'd expected. 



The cursor didn't seem to follow its tip qirite as 
instantly or closely as rd have liked, and my arm 
soon became tired holding it up to the screen alF 
Ifietime. Perhaps I'd eventually get used to it, hut I 
was not as happy with the pen as ) tti ought l^d be. 
The driver supplied didnT work with an Amiga 
Plus machine, so it's fair to assume that it's incom- 
patible with 2.0 system ROMs. This would seem to 
rule 'n out if you want to use it wrth new A1 50Ds, 
A2000S or A30OO computers. Ctieck before you 
buy. 



VCRDICT 



• Works perfectly 

•More natural than a mouse 

•Makes your arm very lireil 

♦Works with most mouse driven programs 

♦Daesn't work with A5D0 Plus 

•Allocs you to use the mouse as wefl

Pragramming the Amiga can 
sometirres be very frustrating 
when your code causes a 
crash tor no apparent reason. 
The task becomes a imie 
easier with the help of pack- 
ages such as Dsvpac2oT 
Argasm but your problems 
don't stop there. With Act^on 
Replay II you can now exam- 
ine your code whilst it is 
njnning to see what is hap- 
pening. Even if your machine 
has crashed, the press of a 
button makes it ail come 
iushing back for further 
examination. You can also 
load aimost any game and 
examine other programmers 
code, look through memory, 
and save graphic images, 
play and save Soundtracker 
modules and samples, even 
put cheat modes in games . 
and, to top it all. you never 
need to load this wonder wid- 
get. You just piug Action 
Replay into the side of your 
machine and forget about it. 
This is one piece of kit for the 
Amiga that's almost an 
essential purchase. Warning! 
Action Replay II only works 
with machines with less than 
four megabytes of memiory,

AMOS 

Eumpress Software 
0625 359444 £4^.99 

There are a fair number of 
BASIC programming lan- 
guages on the Amiga but 
nothing to top AMOS. The 
icon -driven interface and 
concise screen dispiay make 
it a pleasure to work ^ith. 
AMOS incorporates an 
extensive library of over 500 
comnnands, including com- 
plete control of the hardware 
registers which enable you to 
perform pixel-perfect scrolling 
both vertically and horizon- 
tally, software (blitter) and 
hardware sprites, copperlists 
for rainbow colour bars like in 
the Tunican tt (Rainbow Arts) 
and James Pond 
(Millennium) games, and a 
Soundtracker/Noisetracker 
player. Some useful utilrties 



are included with AMOS for 
editing sprites, pictures and 
animations, AMOS runs at 
such a fast speed that you 
can produce quality home- 
grown games.

AMOS 3D 

Europress Software 
0625 B59444 E34.99 

Almost every Amiga owr>er 
has seen solid-3D Vector 
images at some time, either 
in a Red Sector demo or 
games like Thunderhawk 
{Core Design) and Jimmy 
White's Whiriwind Snooker 
{Virgin Games). The pro- 
grammers of these games 
had to perform thousands of 
maths calculations to pro- 
duce these complex 
graphics, and, for the aver- 
age person, balancing the 
weekly budget is about the 
limit. AMOS 3D is here to 
help. With the maths already 
done for you, all you are 
required to do is put the lines 
in the correct places and 
devise a game around them. 
This is easy because the 
software is completely icon 
driven and supplied with a 
comprehensive manual. 
AMOS SO was written by 
Voodoo Software, the folks 
behind a 3D game for 
Electronic Zoo called Xiphos.

AMOS COMPILER 

Europress Seft¥fare 0425 
SS9444 £29.99 

For those who are not sure 
what a compiler dbes. it s 
very simple. Honest! After 
writing your blockbuster on 
AMOS you now have the 
option of converting it into 
stand-alone machine code 
using the compiler. Once you 
have compiled your game it 
now reacts just like a normaJ 
game and you can start it 
from the CLI without loading 
AMOS. The only problem is it 
may njn too quick to play, so 
you will have to incorporate 
some routines to slow your 
game down. Definitely worth 
a look!

Here at CU Amiga we pride ourselves on 
being the Amiga magazine that listens to 
its readers. With your help we can grow 
and improve the quality and depth of this 
pub lie at ton beyond even our belief. 

CU Amiga operate a number of services 
especially for our readers. So, don't hesi*^ 
tate if you want to drop us a line to air an 
opinion, or to make a specific enquiry to 
one of our panel of experts. All are only a 
post box away. 

Q+A 

Don't let your computer have a ^*^ 

rricromigrane. Our technical ^ 
editor is always ready to give 
help before you relegate your ' ^>X 
hard or software to silicon heaven. 

HELPLINE 

Is a pixel punk preventing you from finisiiing 
your favourite game. Readers queries and 
readers answers for all those life saving cheats 
and pokes can be found in the Adventure and 
Games Helpline pages, 

BACKCHAT 

Need to rant and rave, but auntie Gladys won't 
listen? Don't worry we'll talk to any- 
..i*o*u^ one. So if you wondering where 
that ace looking game you read 
^ about 1 months ago has got to 
^ or you just want to moan about 

the price of software, this is the 
place to do it. 

You can access all these sections by writing 
to us, using the relevant heading, at our 
address: CU AMIGA, Priory Court, 30-32 
Farringdon Rd, London, EC1R 3AU. 

DISKS 

Even we suffer from a handful of faulty cover 
disks, but all is not lost as returned floppies can 
be replaced by being sent to: CU DISK 
RETURNS, PC Wise Merthyr Industrial Park, 
Pentreebach, Mid Glamorgan. CF48 4DR. An 
emergency Helpline for disk problems is run 
between 10.30 and 12.30 weekdays on (0443) 
693233

MEMORY 
ANOMALY 

When Tm jsing Workbench I 
often notice a 
strange 
effect 
which I 
don't 
under- 
stand, it 
* happens 
when I open a 
directory window, then ioad a 
program. 

If I then return to the 
Workbench screen and close 
the directory window that I 
opened to ioad the prog ram , 
the amount of free memory 
displayed in the bar at the top 
of the screen goes down! 

Why does this happen? I 
cant understand why it costs 
the computer memory to shut 
a window. Am I missing 
something obvious, or is 
there something sinister 
afoot? 
Michael DawsOT. Kemsing. Kent 

I don't know if what you're 
missing would be classed 
as obvious, Michael, but 
there's certainly a straight- 
forward explanatiof^ to Ihe 
effects you've noticed. 

When you initially load 
Workbench, the remaining 
free memory is displayed 
In the status bar at the top 
of the screen. This figure Is 
continually revised as you 
work from the Workbench 
screen. As soon as you 
load a progranr^ which 
opens its own output win- 
dow^ that window becomes 
current, temporarily dis- 
abi i ng t he Workberkch. 

Because it's disabled, 
Workbench no longer 
updates the free memory 
figure, so the number 
shown represents the 
amount of memory remain* 
Ing when the program was 
loaded. When you load e 
program this figure will 
remain unchanged on the 
screen, but In actual fact 
the program has taken up 
memory. 

When you eventually re- 
activate the Workbench 





screen by clicking on it^ It 
becomes current, and 
finally prints the updated 
nnemory figure which will, 
of course, be lower 
because your program has 
taken up some memory. 

HARD DRIVE 
ANIMATIONS 

i have recently purciiased an 
ASOO, and Cm 
now aiming to 
buy a hard 
L .J drive for it. 
V I ve noticed 
that Power 
Computing 
stocl^ the GVP 
series of hard 
disks, however their adver- 
tisement says '8MB of Fast 
Ram on board'. Could you 
please tell me if Fast Ram is 
what's capable of running 
animations requiring Isirge 
amounts of memory? 
Mr J A Hail, Sheilon, Staffs 

NOp Fast Ram is not the 
ideal type of memory for 
running animations, but 
Chip Ram is. Having said 
thai, you can use Fast Ram 
for large animations, but 
It's not quite as efficient as 
Chip Ram. 

The Amiga includes a 
special chip called the 
B litter, which Is very good 
at moving large blocks of 
graphics around in mem- 
ory. Unfortynately, the 
B litter can't move graphics 
stored in Fast memory, so 
when possible, it's better 
to store them in Chip Mem. 
When producing anima- 
tions that are larger than 
the available Chip Mem, the 
computer is capable of 
transferring graphics from 



Fast Rem before displaying 
them. But to do this, it uses 
the ordinary processor 
which is considerably 
slower than the blitter. 

For most animation 
needs, this slowness will 
not matter as it's only the 
most demanding of anima- 
tions that need the speed 
offered by the Blitter. 

Many paclcagos allow 
you to run animations from 
Fast Ram including D-Paint 
3/4 and the Director Xq 
name but two. 

WHICH FILE? 

Pleas© help me! I have just 
completed my B- 
yh\±M Tech and I 

wouid Eike to 
put ail my 
notes onto 
one or more 
fiie disks, but 
whai software 
do I use? 
I need text and graphics, 
but I also need to be able to 
mix (hem together, Tve tried 
Pagesetter but you can't read 
the whole of the screen. 

Please help. 
David Hendricks, Petefborough 

There are tiiree possible 
solutions to your problem, 
but each depends upon the 
type of data ttiat you want 
to store, and the way it's to 
be output- 
Most database, desk-top 
publishing (DTP) or word 
processing (WP) systems 
are desi9r>ed so that the 
information created by 
ttiem will eventually be out- 
put to paper. Therefore, 
their output on the screen 
is not of the highest qual- 
ity. Mind you, having said 




that, regardless of the 
package you use, the 
screen output is severely 
restricted by the resotution 
of your monitor, and the 
computer page resolution. 

To create the highest 
level of detail, you'll need 
to work in highrres or inter- 
lace, but unless you own 
either a flicker fixer, or a 
multi-sync monitor, the dis- 
play will appear to flicker 
and pulsate. If you work 
under these conditions tor 
long, you risk migreines 
and eye strain, so they're 
not really ideal. 

At the top end of the 
market, you could opt tor a 
professional DTP system 
such as Professiomf Page 
2M. This will allow you to 
mix text, bit- mapped and 
structured graphics on a 
single page. The page can 
then be magnified up to 
200 times to enable you to 
view particular parts in 
more detail. The pages can 
then be output to any dot 
matrix or laser printer, and 
post-script format is even 
supported. Unfortunately, 
unless you own an acceler- 
ator or maths processor, 
the screen update can be 
painfully slow as you edit a 
document. Youll also need 
lots of memory - 1 .5 megs 
mintmum, 4 megs-i- ideally. 

Another possibility is a 
database such as 
SuperbasB 4 which pro- 
vides you with great 
flexibility when storing 
Information. However, Its 
nature Is such that it's not 
really suited for pages 
where the page format 
changes frequentiy, ie, 
graphics on one and not on 
anotherp inconsistent page 
layouts etc. 

The final option would 
bm a WP package such as 
Wordworth or Penpal- Both 
packages allow you to 
Incorporate graphics into 
documents, and they both 
have fast screen updates 
and good readable text- 1 
find that although 
WorOworth is the more

TESSEiLATIONS 

Og you know of any pro- 
grams. PD or commerciaf on 
Tessellations, ie shapes 

which interlock ^MC Escher' 
style? 

Ciiftord Allen, 
Tharcham, 

No, 

Cllftord, I 
donl know 
of any pro- 
grams on that subject, but 
rmafsoablgfanofMC 
Escher s tesselfated stud- 
ies, and have often 
wondered whether such a 
program might exist. Of 
course, the computer is tlie 
Ideal medium for designing 
tessellations because the 
Interlocking shapes (and 
transformations at 
advanced level), can be 
duplicated so qufckly and 
precisely. 

For readers who are not 
familiar with (he subject, 
tessellations are pictures 
or patterns formed by 
reproducing one or more 
perfectly interlocking 
shapes lime and time 
again, MC Escher, a 
German mathematician, 
was fascinated by the sub- 
ject, and tried to develop 
the concept to its limits. 
Far from using simple 
shapes, his work usually 
included numerous ani- 




mals and figuresp all inter- 
rocked to form the most 
incredible collages. 

It may interest you to 
know that you can buy a 
superb book of Esctier's 
work, containing ALL of his 
famous pieces, reproduced 
as full-page plates. It's 
called The Graphic Work 
of MC Escher' and cm still 
be ordered from WHSmiths 
for about £20. 

If any readers know of 
software which explores 
this fascinating subject, 
please let us know as soon 
as possibre. 

JOINING 
ANIMAriONS 

Pieas© could you tell me if it s 

possible to join two separate 

D-Paint 3 a n i m ations usfng 

CLI so that, when p fayed, 

they appear to 

be just one **!_?* 

continuous 

animation? 
iVe tried 

to do this 

using 

PPAnim, but 

the first an i matron piays until 

I click the mouse-button, then 
the second one loads and 
plays. Obviously I don't want 
the user to have to press the 
mouse button at al^ and I 
don t want a broak whilst the 
second haff loads. 

If it's possible, could you 
tell me what commands 
and/or utilities are required to 
perform the task? My anima- 
tions are drawn in 8 and 64 
colour modes, antf between 
them total 3000 frames! 
Michael Lator. StradbalJy, Ireland 

A couple of sotutlons 
spring to mind, but I sus* 
pect that they may be 
foiled by the difference in 
colour formats behveen 
your pictures. 

The first solution 
requires D-PaintSand 
enough memory to load 
both animations at the 
same time. When you load 
an animation into 0*Pa/nf, 
and then attempt to load a 
second one, you'll notice 




an additfonal option fn the 
File menu called Append. 
Append allows you to join 
one animation onto the tail- 
end of another. However, 
both anir(\atvoi\s m\is\ 
share the same screen, 
page and colour formats. 
The ideal solution is to 
convert your half-brite (64 
colour) animairon down to 
eight cofours. If this means 
a foss of colour from your 
pictures, perhaps you 
could convert them both 
into 32 colour mode? If not, 
convert the eight colour 
one up to 64 colours and 
save it to disk. 

Load the first half of 
your animation into mem* 
ory, then u se the Append 
option to add the second 
hatf to it. Mow when you 
save the animation, both 
halves will be joined. 

Another possible solu^ 
tlon is to use a utIJJty caUed 
the Director, The Director 
is an animation scripting 
language which can be 
used to make presenta- 
tions and slide-shows etc. 
It includes a facility called 
Buffering, whereby you 
could toad the entire sec- 
ond animation into the 
computer (memory permit- 
ting), ready to begin 
piayfng the instant the first 
one has stopped; 

You can get more details 
on the Director from MB

CDTV 
PONDCRINGS 

I was thfnking about buying a 
CDTV, primarily for games 
use. Using my A500. many 
games allow me to save 
scores and 



game posi 
tions. but 
as the 
CDTV 
seems to 
be a read- 
only device I 
can't see how it 
would be possible to make 




any kind of save. 

At the moment I don't 
even own a CD player, but I 
was told that the CDTV can 
be used as a normal CD 
player as well. Vd appreciate 
any information you can give 
me. 

Charlie Streiber. South 
Ockencfon. Kent 

You're correct about the 
CDTV being a read-only 
device as far as CDs are 
concerned, but you can 
purchase memory cards in 
64 and 256K sizes, which 
will allow you to save game 
information. These remov- 
able cards cost £79.M and 
E249.99(|) respectfveiy. 

As for using the CDTV 
as a standard CD player: It 
features 16-blt 8 x over- 
sampling which means that 
it's capable of noticeabiy 
higher sound quality than 
most ordinary CD players. 
In addition, it can handle a 
new CD formal called CD + 
G which stands for 
Compact Disk 4- Graphics. 
When run with the TV or 
monitor switched on, 
graphics will be displayed 
to accompany the music. 

SrUNGE 
ASSIGNATIONS 

I've been using a word pro- 
cessor called Scribbtel for a 
coupfe of years now. and 
recently 1 was 
fortunate 
enough to 
be given 
a hard 
drive so I 
copied the 
entire 

Scribbhi program disk onto 
the drive. 

Scr/bd/ef is actually part of 
a suite of pri^rams caJled 
The Workst which includes a 
spread-sheet, database and 
dfctionary. 

Although Scfibbte\ toads 
and runs perfectly, whenever 
I try to access the dictionary 
for spell- checking purposes, 
the program asks me for the 
original Work$\ disk. 

Can this be avoided, 




211 




because it s very tedious to 
have to keep the disk to hand 
aH the time? I must say, it 
seems pointless using the 
hard drive if I have to use a 
floppy for dictionary access, 
which is the niDst time con- 
suming part. 
Peter Vogt, Teignmouth, Devon 

The probtenn Ib that the die- 
tlofiary has been assigned 
to the Works ttilBk, so that 
all dictionary access auto^ 
mat leal ly asks for that disk 
If It's not already inserted. 

But don't worry, this can 
easily be overcome using 
the ASSIGN command. 

Load the hard drive 
startup-sequence (It's In 
the S directory), and add 
the following line some- 
where near the end; 
ASSIGN WORKS!: 
DHOiSCRIBBLEI 

This will now tell Ifm 
word processor to look in 
the 5^f/f?bte/ directory on 
yoyr hard drive (partition 
DHO:). 

If your dictionary is In a 
different directory, or on 
another partition, simply 
substitute the correct path 
name where Tve written 
DHO:SCRIBBLE! 

WHAT'S 
A SAMPLER 

I want to take music from my 
collection and put it onto 
computer. I gather that I'll 
need a sound sampler, but 
Tm interested 
%±±^^ toknowv 

/^ how they 
work. Is 
there 
much dif- 
ference 
between the 
types? Which is 
the best, and what about 
value for money? 
Javid Simpuhr, Singapore 

A sampler Is simply a 
device whioh oonverta the 
analogue waveform of 
sound, Into a digital format 




which the computer can 
store and edit. 

The sampler listens' to 
the sound, and thousands 
of times every second it 
translates what it 'hears' 
Into a number representing 
the amplitude and fre- 
quency. Amplitude Is 
another word for loudness, 
and frequency means the 
pitch of a note (te C natu- 
ral, D sharp etc). 

When a sample Is played 
back from the Amiga, the 
computer performs a 
reverae translation, con- 
verting the digital signal 
back to ana logy e- 

As a matter of Interest, 
CD players and DAT 
machines also store their 
Information In a digital for- 
mat, whereas ordinary 
tapes and records use ana- 
logue. 

The difference l>etween 
the cheaper samplers Is 
virtually non-ex) stent p and 
It's only their software that 
separates them. Once you 
move up to samplers coat- 
ing £80 or more, the 
hardware is often capable 
of a greater treqyMinoy 
response, which means 
that they can sample a 
wider range of sounds, 
from extremely high 
pitches, to really low ones. 
I believe that Aodto 
Engineer, which Is cur- 
rently one of the more 
popular models, Is actually 
capable of sampling 
sounds far beyond the 
range of human hearing! 

Anyway, my preference 
is the excellent Sour^if 
Master from Aegis, which 
works extremely well and 
Is very yser*frlendly. It 
costs E129J5 so it's not 
really what you'd describe 
as budget prIcedT but It Is 
admirably straight forward. 

In terms of value for 
moneys Technosound 
TurbOf at about £30, offers 
the beat price-to-features 
ratio of any sampler and Is 
definitely worth a look If 
you're new to the Joys of 
sampling.

Master if om Centresoft

I was 
going to 
buy a MIDI 
compatibte 
keyboard so 
that I can use my Amiga to 
make proper' music. I 
already own Music-X t1, 
and I thought that if I bought 
a keyboard and perhaps a 
drum machine^ that I would 
be set up ready to go. 

I've seen a number of key- 
boards that allow you to 
select different instruments 
but they don't let you play 
more than one instrument at 
a time, which seems fairly 
pointless to me. 

Would I t>e able to access 
two or more instruments at a 
time via the Amiga or would I 
have to buy a separate key- 
board for each instrument 1 
wanted to play? 
Phil Marchess, London 

In the first place, you'd 
also need a MIDI Interface 
to connect your keyboard/s 
to your Amiga, but once 
that's out of the way you 
can start considering 
wtiich keyboard Is best for 
your requirements* 

There are two expres- 
sions to be understood 
wtien buying keyboards for 
MIDI use: polyphonic and 
multl-timbral. 

in the early years of 
electronic keyboards, most 
of them were only capable 
of playing a single note at a 
time, which made it very 
difficult to generate decent 
music with a single instru- 
ment. Polyphony Is the 
ability of a keyboard to 
play more than one note at 
a time. Today, most key- 
boards are capable of 
playing either eight or six- 
teen notes simultaneously, 
and this even applies to the 
cheaper Casio and Yamaha 
keyboards. 

Although most cheaper 
keyboards are polyphonic, 
they sttll only have the abil- 
ity to play one Instrument 
at a time, if you're compos- 
ing a piano concerto, this 
is fine, but If you prefer 
modem music with a vari- 
ety of Instruments, you'll 
have to look for a multktim- 
bral keyboard. 
Unfortunately, these are 
quite expensive but they 
do allow you to create 



richer and more varied 
music- 

ir you actually play key- 
boards, you'll appreciate 
the fact that most multl- 
tlmbral keyboards can be 
split so that the left hand 
plays, for example, a bass 
instrument, whilst the right 
controls the lead- 

If you're not Interested 
in actually playing a key- 
board manually, you might 
prefer to buy a sound mod- 
ule. These are small banks 
of sounds which have all 
the facilities of a keyboard- 
enoased version, but 
without the expense of 
having to buy a keyboard 
as well. They're also a 
good way to expand an 
existing library of sounds. 

Cheetah provide a range 
of professional keyboards 
and synth modules, and 
you can contact them at

Road, Falrwater, Cardiff,

CES 

Following your tutorials ear- 
lier in the year, IVe started 
trying to make 
my own 
compila- 
tion disks 
witi 
some 
success. 
Having 
looked at the 

startup-sequence that comes 
With my 1.3.2 Workbench, I 
encountered the following 
command which I don't 
understand: AODBUFFERS 
DFO: 10. Is this command 
essential, because t haven't 
included it in any of my 
startup-sequences and yet 
the disks seem to work per- 
fectly? What does it do? 
Paui Mitchellp Stamford, Lines 

The^ are many commands 
In the Workbench startup^ 
sequence which are 
completely unnecessary 
for most disks, and 
ADDBUFFEflSlsonesuch 
command. 

It's used to sat the 
amount of memory allo- 
cated for disk drive buffers. 
Whenever you request a 
directory of a disk, that 
information has to be 
loaded first. Using the 
Addbuffers commandp an 
area of memory Is set aside 



Hii 



212 



blue pages 



' 




by the system for directory 
informatSon, Therefore the 
first time you request a 
d I rectory » it will have to lie 
loaded as usoa!, but any 
subsequent directory calls 
will access a directory list 
stored within tlie bufffers 
that were initialised In the 
sta rtu p- seq uen ce. 

Although the default 
size is ten 512 byte buffers 
(SK)p an Ideal maximum fig- 
ure would be 25 buffers 
(12.5K). 

CLOCKf 

My Ram expansion includes 

a battery 

backed 

clock, but 

apart from 

toiling me 

the time 

and date 

(which I can 

check on my 

wall clock!) it doesn t seem to 

sen/e any useful purpose. 

Why is it there? 

Stephen Hughes, Eastbourps, 

Susse?^ 

To most users, the battery 
backed clock doesn't serve 
much useful purpose, but 
to hard drive owners, or 
other users who regularly 
make baok-yp copies of 
precious data, it is invalu- 
able. 

When backing up a 105 
meg hard drive, you don't 
really want to duplicate 
files which are already 
backed-yp elsewhere. 
Obviously, to make a copy 
of t he ent i re drive (if it's 
full) would require at least 
10S disks, not to mention 
several hours to perform 
the operation. However, 
back-up utilities such as 
MRBackup include an 
option to backup all files 
created since a certain 
date.

EVERYIHING YOU WANIED TO KNOW 

ABOUT BUGS 




jght as well faca it, 

I (hare's no such thing 
as a iree lunDh or 
Gompletely bug-frea com- 
puter software. So, what 
actually are these 'bugs' in 
your favourite games ar>d 
utility programs? 

Any type of computar, no 
matter how big or small p has 



to be told exactly what to do, 
othenA/ise unforeseen events 
can occur. Some wag 
dubbed this phenomenon 
'bugs' and the process of 
eliminating these mistakes 
'debugging'. 

The reason so many of 
these glitches appear in per- 
sonal computer software Is 



that some publishers don't 
have the resources to thor- 
oughly test their products 
before putting tham out tor 
sale. 

Quite a few programmers 
get vary narvous when asked 
about the bugs in their soft- 
ware^ Its like you're accusing 
them of having acne. Even 



the laid-back American 
designers of the Amiga got 
natty annoyed when they 
ttted to gel the operating sys- 
tem working propefly. This is 
where the infamous Guru 
Meditation massage stems 
from. Apparently they would 
sit down In front of their 
machines eveiy time a crash 
occurred and contemplate 
greater things before 
attempting any more coding 
for the day. Otherwise they 
might have thrown a brick 
through the screen and we'd 
be using boring old Atari 
computers today!

LISTEN FOR A LIFETIME 

It's a familiar everyday story. You're on the train, tube or bus and a person neaity has 
their Walkman cranked up to maximum volume. Not only is the noise annoying, but it 
coukd actually be causing some physical damage to their ears. Now the Electronic 
Industries Association of America is trying to make the general public aware of potential 
hearing loss by promoting the safe use of electronic entertainment equipment. 

Hearing damage and loss is one of the most widespread yet invisible handicaps in the 
world today. The National Institute of Health in the USA estimates approximately 10 mil- 
lion Americans have suffered some hearing loss impairments as a resutt of exposure to 
high intensity sound system. 

The hazardous zona of dedbel levels begins at approximately 75 decibels, which 
includes items such as average town traffic, rubbish disposals or an alarm clock ringing 
up to two feet away. High sound pressure levels (loud noises) can damage or kill the fine 
hair cells in the inner ear. Hearing progressively deteriorates as more hair cells are dam- 
aged or destroyed. 

Damage to your hearing can be short term (known as temporary threshold shift) or 
long tenri (called permanent threshold shift). Short term often clears itself with little reoog- 
rilsable hearing loss while long term damage is often irreversible. 

Warning! If you're suffering from any sort of hearing loss, please consult your doctor.

CALLING AU VIDMOPHIUS! 



Sometimes you need to injed 
some visual trtetery into your 
home video epics. If your Amiga 
genlock is being overloaded with 
a stream of special effects, 
Panasonic has released a Digirtal 
Effects Generator to help ease 
the strain. 

'Anyone who has ever wanted 
to produce music videos like the 
pros or give a slick artistic look 
to ordinary home videos will wel- 
come our newgadget; 
confidently predicts a spokesper- 
son, "more and more amateurs 
are getting Into editing and pro- 
ducing their videos in a big way.' 

The Digital Effects Generator 
can act in unison with your 
Amiga to create some da22llng 
video sequences. Apart from 
adding a hazy or surreal iook to 
the picture, you're able to reduce 



the screen image by 75% and 
place It in any one ot nine differ- 
ent positkins. Digital Mosaic 
breaks down the image Into hun- 
drads of squares, providing an 
abstract geometric feel. With the 
monaural colour effect, you can 
c^st a single tint over an entire 
image to project mood or a 
dream-like Quality, IndMdual 
frames can be rapidfy or slowly 
flashed on tfia screen fora stro- 
bo&copic effect. 

These digital video eftects can 
be combined with one another If 
so desired. Best of all, these 
effects can be synchronised to 
tie beat of accompanying music. 
An audio miKer provides precise 
level control over sounds from 
three sources. 



OFNOBE 



Lowest sound available to the human ear 
30 Quiet librafV. soft whispers 

40 Living room, refrigerator, a bedroom away from traffic 
50 Normal conversation, quiet office 
60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine 
70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant 
BO Average city traffic, rubbish disposals, alarm clock at two feet {these 
noises can be damaging under constant exposure) 
90 Tube, motorcycle, truck traffic, stiop tools, lawn mower (damage may 
occur In eight hours or less of exposure) 

100 Rubbish truck, chain saw (le&s than IS minutes of unprotected expo- 
sure is recommended) 

120 Rock band concert, thunderclap (danger Is immediate. This exposure 
can damage you rears). 

140 Gunshot blast, jet plane (beyond the reasonable threshold of pain, 
any unprotected exposure is dangerous) 

1 BO Rocket launching pad (noise al this level causes IrrsverslbSe damage 
and tends to be rather hotl)

both playable and enduring. One of the most inter* 
esting games I've seen In a long time'. 




SCAN AND DELIVER 

Avid CU AMIGA reader Trevor Wilkinson from 
Cleveland has devised an ingenious mouse 
which doubles at at scanner! With such a 
peripheral you can not only control software 
in the normal way but also transfer ordinary 
paper or photographic images into graphics 
packages like Deluxe Paint IV. 

The Mini Scanner works by pulling the

Get the most out of your Amiga by adding: 

he Complete Colour Solution" 

The Worlds ultimate creative leisure product for your 
Amiga, Capture dynamic Ngti resolution images into 
your Amiga in less than one s&cond. 

And Look No Filters 

images can now be grabbed from either colour 
video camera, home VCR or in fact any still video 
source. The traditional method of holding three 
colour filters in front of your video camera is certainly 
a thing of the past. Because Vidi splits the RGB 
CO tours electronicaHy there are no focussing or 
movement problems e)c per ie need by some of our 
slower competitors. Lighting is also less of an issue 
as light is not being shut out by lens filters. Put all 
this together with an already proven Vidi- 
AmigaA/idiChrome combination and achieve what 
is probably the most consistant and accurate high 
qualiity 4096 coiour images ever seen on the Amiga. 

The colour solution is fully compatible with all 
Amiga's from a standard A5O0 to the ultimate A3000 
No additional RAM is required to get up and running 

You will see from independent review 
comments that we are undoubtedly their first choice 
and that was before the complete solution was 
launched. If you have just purchased your Amiga 
and are not sure what to buy next, then just read 
the comments or send for full review and demo disk. 



Features ... 



• Grab mono rmages from any video 

source 

• Capture colour images from any still 
video source. 

• Digitise up to 16 mono frames on a

A FIX? 



Printer woni output, 
monitor on the bUnk, 
Joystick wont respond? 
Don't worry, for here is 
your guide to a 
problem-free life... 



PRINTER 
PROBLEMS 

• This may sound obvioirs but having 
an unconnected printer is a common 
mistake. Clieck over tine wires tin at run 
from youf Amiga to tine printer and the 
plug, Doni forget to switch off your com- 
puter and swiitch off at tha mains if do 
have to reconnect the leads. 

• Having problems with you printer 
driver? Copy across the correct drfver to 
the Workbench disk, and then select it 
from Preferences. 

• If youVe print-outs are of poor or 
inconsistent quality, the first thing to 
check is that the ribbon's still on the 
printer head 

• Daisy wheel printers can print graph- 
ics as well as text, but it's a massively 
intricate process. Exchange your printer 
if you take art seriously. 

POOR PICTURE 

• Remember to set the TV to the cor- 
rect channel. 

• If your screen goes red or green this 



may be because the monitor lead is 
loose, or because the modulator switch 
is In the wrong position, 

• A shaky picture often means that the 
Amiga is working in interlace mode. 
This simply means that it's trying to get 
more on screen. This can be corrected 
with a device called a flicker fixer, 

WON'T LOAD 

• The causes can be many, ranging 
from software failure, a vims, to pn3b- 
lems with the drive. Check through 
everything, reset and start again. H it 
still doesn't wor*;, send the disk back. 
Oh, and by the way, always virus check 
your disks (it's worth spending a few 
quid on a decent program - most Public 
Domain houses stock them) 

DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT 

• Make sure the adaptor lead is 
plugged in correctly if you use a TV, and 
make sure that the TV is set to the right 
channel 

• The SCART fead may not be plugged 
in properly if you're using a monitor. 




DOS JUID DON'^TS.,, 

• Don't plug the audio lead Iq ihe wrong 
output, it fQu use a modulalor 

• Don't take a disk out of ihi drive wItiEe 
thedrlveliehtisoii. 

• Dn liarn to dn what'$ known as a 'soft 
resetV. Simulteneousiy pressing the two 
Amiga hey$, Iho two shift ktys and the 
Guntrol key will bring you back to Iha 
Workbiiiph screen. 

• Do ensure thai itolhing Is plugged in 
wh«ii you switch au the power. 

• Don1 forgel lo w\tB Ihe plug corietlly. 

• Do rememiiBr lo sot Ihe DIP «wiiches 
inii use Ihe corraci driver when printing. 

• Da read the Inslruction manual that 
comes with your monitor. Sel the CVBS 
swilahsottialit'snnRGB. 

• Don't have the modulator p Fugged in 
when you lum on Ihe TV. It will make Ihe 
screen turn black and while, 

• Do adjust the screw at the back of the 
modulatar, if you're having problems get- 
ting sound. 

• And finally, DO remembei to fill out 
your warranty card and send it back, and 
DONT loose youf raceipt. DOil'T ojcpocl 
sympalhy liom a dealer if ytiu return a 
machine Ibat you've malUeated; NEVER 
attampl your own re pairs Oahinfl youf 
Amiga apart invalidates the warranty), 
and NEVER EVER forget that it's YOU 
who've paid lor hardware and software. 
Don't be coy and British about it* com- 
plain It you don't like the service.

Perhaps the most versatile micro ever made, 
the Commodore Amiga is supreme in ail fields of 
personal computing. If you're tired of simply 




BSSf 



Welcome to the machine of oppor 
tumty. The possibijitfes of the 
Amiga really are limited only by 
your imagination, Within seconds you 
coufd be playing a game, creating stun- 
nmg animated sequences or static art 
compospng some music, writing a fetter 
running a small busfness, producing 
your own fanzine., the list of options is 
almost endless. Everybody has the 
chance to get the best out of their 
Amiga. Ail that s needed to tap this huge 
potentiaf for productivity and playtime is 
tne right accessories. A fittle bit of prac- 
tice can also help, of course! Lucidity 
hardware and software for the Amiga is 
readily avaiiable throughout the UK and 
the rest of the world. If you can be both 
ered, It's even possible to buy the latest 
gear in the bustling bacit-streets of 
Bangkok 

Over three million Amigas have been 
sm since the impressive fntroduction of 
th(s ground-breaking home computer 
bacl< rri 1935, when maverick artist Andy 
Warhol produced a portrait of sultry 
singer Debbie Harry on the Amiga usino 
a prototype of EAs DetuxePaintm pro 
gram at the Summer Consumer 
Electronics Show in Chicago, As the 
sales personnel were keen to stress at 
the trme. Only the Amiga mal<es it pos- 
sible . 

Surprising then, that the Amiga was 
ongrnaify intended to be the ultimate - 
video games console but a series of 
events quicl<ly changed that perception. 
After legendary chip designer Jay Miner 
and the rest of the engineering group at 
Los Gatos in California had finished the 
wtole project had blossomed into the 
ultimate personal computer; They d 
even devised one of the strangest 
peripherals yet seen. The Joyboard was 
a joystPcJ< operated in a similar fashion 
to gorng surfing or skateboarding, 

IMPROVED 

Instead of sitting on its backside, 
Commodore has continually expanded 
and enhanced the Amiga family of 
microcomputers. Today, you have the 
Choice of buying an entry level A500 
with Ban Simpson game and 
DsfuxePaintgmphics package (£400) a 
more up-market version like the A15o6 
(El 000) or the new CDTV multimedia 



saving Lemmings, Rik Haynes suggests some of 
the otiier options available... 




machine (£500). This latter option fuses 
the flexiblQ visual technologies of the 
Amiga with the outstandfng sound and 
storage capabilities of Compact Disc. 

The recent decision to supply the 
standard A500 with one megabyte of 
memory has been greeted with glee by 
the thousands of programmers out there 
in coding \an& These dedicated digital 
developers are always trying to push the 
boundaries o1 what's possible on your 
favourite slab of silicon. Many future 
games and utilities simply wonl work on 
an Amiga with less than one megabyte 
of RAM. Don't say you weren't warned! 

Now it seems we could be seeing a 
slightly cut-down version of the Amiga, 
with an esttremely attractive price of 
below E200, sometime next j^ear. Where 
will it all end, eh? 



Once youVe actually used an Amiga it s 
difficult to conceive of how yoy ever 
managed before the beast actually 
arrived. Little wonder then, that its the 
darlir>g of creative people on tight bud- 
gets. The resulting images and sounds, 
and sometimes the Amiga itse^f, can be 
seen in cheap mo\/ies and television 
shows including The Chart Show and 
Neighbours, 

Possibly the most outlandish use of 
the Amiga so far has been by trendy 
DJs across Europe Lasers effects are 
apparently no longer enough to satisfy 
the techno lusts of energetic nightclub 
ravers. Dance! loors, surrounded by 
expensive Sony monitors and fed by 
Amiga fractal vision, pump out visual 
noise in rhythm to the beat of hardcore 
grooves from the likes of The Prodigy, 
M-Joi and Bizarre Inc. 

Most productivity applications and 
activities require a more meaty machine 
than the one sold in the Cartoon 
Classics bundle. The most likely 
upgrade route is taken by purchasing an 
extra ffoppy disk drive (approximately 
£50) or hard drive (around E250), 
decent monitor (from £300) and addi- 
tional memory (around £50 per 512K of 
RAM). With such a system setup, you 
shouldn t have any prob 
iems waiting for your 
favourite program to strut 
its stuff. Commodore will 
shortly be launching an 
add-on C D- R O M d r i ve 
(£TBA) allowing you to try 
CDTV product on your 
Amiga.

An incredible diversity of 
packages are available,

yo« start on yoyr first eplc« thoiigli. II you 
think you can handio the Amiga without any 
aid from clever programmers, loolt no further 
than Action Replay II (£60} from Oalei 
Electronics. With this cartridge, you're able to 
eiamine memory and hardware reglstflrs, edit 
progran^ and Ionic for pictures, sprites and

mes around with th« way they work and thus 
disciiver the tricks of the trade. 

ranging from ordinary paint and anima- 
tion programs to sophisticated video 
titling software and genlock hardware 
enabiing you to overlay text and grapti- 
ics over your own fiome videos. 

DeiuxePaintlVbY Electronic Arts 
(£90) is easy to use, has everything you 
need to conjure up some gorgeous 
graphics and is, therefore, ttie most pop- 
uiar paint and animation product 
released on any micro. Tfie DisnBy 
Animation Studio (£100) concentrates 
on tt^e more traditional methods of ani- 
matics and cartooning. If you Ye after 
more life-like images, take a Jook at 
some of the ray tracing titles out tliere 
such as Sculpt 40 (1:250) and Sculpt 40 
Jr(£80). Using some corn plicated calcu- 
lating routines, the way rays of tight 
bounce off objects can be mimicked, 
making them look far more realistic. 

If the best sort of sprites and back- 
drops you can achieve stilf woLiidn't look 
out of place in a kid's nursery, perhaps 
you should invest in a 
video digitiser of some 
sort? These handy gad- 
gets can turn ordinary 
photographs or footage 
from video tape Into a 
picture inside your 
Amiga. There is an 
almost bewildering array 
Of such devices current ly 
on sale. Digi-View Gold 
(£150) from Newtek is 
highly recommended 
because of excellent 
results and its complete 
software control over 
such important aspects 
as brightness, sharp- 
ness, resoiution and

including halfbrite mode. Video Digitiser 
II (£90) by Datel Electronics can grab a 
frame of video in 1/50 second using 4^ 
or 1 6 grey levels. Rombo also produces 
an impressive widget, Vidi-Amiga 
(£1 80), which is wideiy regarded as the 
best video frame grabber for the price.

All the$e grabbing gizmos have given

Desktop Video, NewTek has taken the 
whole concept to totally new heights 
with the Video Toaster If you've got 
£130-0, two monitors and 5MB RAM to 
spare at the very least, this powerful 
Amiga accessory produces digital video 
effects norrmalfy found in £50.000 TV 
studios. These include advanced 3D 
animation software for things like flying 
logos and fog, genlock, frame grabber, 
character generator; 16.8 million 
colours, variable motion blur^ fast photo- 
realistic rendering and jog shuttle 
control. This baby is good enough for 
broadcast use and took over four years 
to develop. 

Such visual treats would be pretty 
limp without audio acocmpaniment, 
right? No problemo. Your Amiga excels 
at producing superb music and sound 
effects. 

Have you ever wondered where all 
those funny or familiar audio FX comes 
from in a good game? These real 
sounds are referred to as sampled 
because they were originally taken from 
a normal sound source connected to 
your Amiga with a sampling device. It's 
the computer equivalent of a cassette 
recorder except you 
can perform all sort of 
tricks, like altering the 
tempo and adding 
reverb, on the sound 
once it has be«n sam- 
pled. Unfortunately, 



these wonderful samples requires large 
amounts of memory so they have to be 
kept short. Nearly everybody involved 
with the Amiga sells their own type of 
sampling hardware and software so 
youVe absolutely spoilt for choice. 
FutureSound 500 (C90) is ex,pensive^ 
especially when considering the primi- 
tive software support, but produces crisp 
samples when used with a top notch 
editing program like AudioMasterlU 
(E90). Microdeal offers the cheaper 
Master Sound (£40) complete with some 
nifty programs like a sequencer and 
musical keyboard emulator. Finally, Mini 
Sampler {E25) from Datel Electronics 
and Evesham Micros' Stereo Sound 
Sampler (£30) can hardly be beaten in 
terms of price. 

INEXPENSIVE 

Real bargains can be lound in Public 
Domain libraries , this is cheap software 
where the author forgoes the profits of 
publishing but may expect about £1 
from you if the pnagram is kept and 
used. This will usually provide you with 
extra documentation and upgrades in 
the future. Apart from the large selection 
of graphical demonstrations, primitive 
games and such like, there are many 
excellent PD utilities which enable you 
to combine sound sampFes into music 
compositions. The most notable of 



these, Noise Tracker md MED, cost 
around £2 each and put most so-called 
professional programs to shame. MED 
3,0, in particular, is a brilliant music 
composition package from Finland 
which can load at least 64 sounds sam^ 
pies into the memory at once and 
display musfc in traditional notation. It 
also incorporates a sampie editor and 
MIDI sequencer. 

Standing lor Musical Instrument 
Digital Interlace, MID! is a very practical 
solution to controlling synthesizers, 
drum machines and other musical 
instruments using your Amiga, By sim- 
ply connecting a maximum of sixteen 
MID 1-compatible instruments to a MIDI 
interface (£30) attached to the back of 
the Amiga, you can run some speciaf 
sequencing software to create any sort 
of music from the latest dance-tracks to 
more classical works. Music X (£100) is 
probably the most widely used 
sequencer on the Amiga. With Music X 
you're able to turn your machine into full 
music studio. For the beginner there is 
also a cut-down versfon, Music X Jr 
(£50). Bars and Pipes (£200) is easier to 
use than the Mus/cX series and Bars 
and Pipes Pro (£250) includes such fea- 
tures as a mixing desk and the ability to 
display music notation. There are plenty 
of MIDI appiications available from any 
good PD supplier, too, Gemini

Shareware is one of the many PD stook- 
i$te with editors, utilities and sequencers 
for all the popular MIDI synths on the 
market. Don't worry if you're not another 
Mozart or Jean Michael Jarre, Island 
Digital is selling a range of ready-made 
'Hands On' MIDI sequences (£20) for 
popular tracks like Michael Jackson's 
Bad and Hanky Panky by Madonna. 

Alternatively, Mindscape is offering 
you a chance to play the piano without 
the hassle of formal lessons. Already 
enthusiastically featured on the enduring 
BBC 1 show Tomorrow's World, the 
Miracle {£300) is a complete system 
with full MIDI musical keyboard and 
easy to understand software which will 
teach you how to play the piano within a 
matter of hours. Mindsc^pe intends to 
further the Miracle by releasing 'Play 
Along' programs over the coming 
months. 

ANTI-LEMMINGS 

On a fun note. The Sickness Simulator 
from Strictly PD, features noisy samples 
o1 a cough, sneeze, burp, fart, groan 
and so on. Talking of PD, you cannot 
really afford to miss the excellent work 
of artists Tobias Richter and Eric 
Schwartz. The latter person is best 
known for his utterly fantastic Anti- 
Lemmings D&mo. Even the boss of 
Psygnosis was bbwn away by the 
immense quality shown by (his 
American teenager. Also from this tal- 
ented and very humorous animator we 
have A Night Rt the Movies, Juggette tt. 
Space Shuttte and SteRlth Fighter, 
Walker is another famous Amiga demo 
vfhere a giant AT-AT annoured vehicle 
from The Empire Strikes Back movie 
comes to life before your very eyes. 

More everyday mundane tasks like 
writing a letter, teaching the kids how to 
recognise colours and shapes, or run- 
ning a small business can benefit from 
an injection of Amiga magic. 

With any good Word Processor or 
Desktop Publishing package you can 
brir>g your words and graphics together 
to express yourself like never before. - 
With Pagestream 2. 1 (£200) , for exam-

scanners have a range of 1 0O to 400 
dpi. The higher the number, the clearer

ALL MOD COMMS 

Those with a hint of wanderlust might 
like to try a modem and to communicate 
with other Amiga users around the world 
via the telephone. Mind you, remember 
it's not one of the cheapest ways to 
make new friends. Emulation is another 
way to expand your horizons beyond the 
frontiers of the Amiga. The trouble is. it's 
very hard to simulate another computer 
system and use the software available 
on thai machine. Very few, therefore, 
achieve any degree of success. 
Perhaps the only ones that come close 
are AtOnce (£200) for IBM PC emula- 
tion and A-Maj< (£170) which 
approximates the functions of an Apple 
Macintosh. 

Wow! We hope this brief overview ot 
the opportunities out 
there has prompted you 
to rethink the way you 
could use your Amiga in 
the months to come. 
There are just so many 
options freely available 
to you, that it can quickly 
get very confusing and 
frustrating. That's why 
CU AMIGA brings you 
the essential information 
you need to make the 
right purchasing deci- 
sions. Whether you're a 
Pixel Picasso or MIDI 
Maestro, there's always 
a range of new products 
under review and useful 
hints and tips to follow 
every month. 



If you've ever wondered what 
Workbench is all about, here's your 
chance to find out once and for all. 

Mat Bfoomfield elucidates. 



Though you may only use 
your Amiga for games. 
you re bound ro 
encounter Workbench at one 
time or another, even if it's just 
to format a disli. However, 
tl^ere's a fot mora on offer than 
that, especially now that tlie 
new 2.0 operating system lias 
been released. As we take a 
detailed look, you'll soon dis- 
cover that controlling your 
Amrga can actually be a simple 
and enjoy abfe past- time f 

The first thing you'll need to 
do is load Workbench, so reset 
your computer and put the 
Workbench disk into the disk 
drive. 

When it's loaded, you HI be 
presented with the main 
Workbench screen. This is 
blue if youYe using a 1.3 
Amiga or older, and grey if 
you're using a 2.0 machine 
such as the Amiga Plus 
(A500P). 

ICON SEE YOU 

At the side of the screen are 
two small disks, known as 

icons. The top one is labelled 
Ram Disk; and indicates an 
area of memory where you can 
temporarily store data. Any 
information stored in the Ram 
Disk is lost when the computer 
is turned off for more than 
thirty seconds. 

The other icon is either 
named Workbench 1 .3, or 
Workbench 2.0, and it repre- 
sents the disk that you loaded 
the Workbench from. 

You'll also notice that 
there's a small red arrow on 
the screen, which is called a 
pointer, and is moved around 
using the mouse. 

If you move the pointer so 
thai it^S on top of the 
Workbench icon, then press 
the ieft mouse button twice 
quite quickly (double-click), a 
box (known as a window) will 
open up containing fots more 
icons. 

Although any picture can be 
used as an icon, it s what they 



do that matters, not what they 
look like. 

There are five main types of 
icon and each represents a dif- 
ferent sort of information. 

The first type is called a 
Disk Icon, and both the 
Workbench and Ram Disk 
icons fall into this category. 
Disk Icons are used to indicate 
logical devices such as floppy 
and hard disk drives and spe- 
cially assigned areas of 



memory etc. 

Whenever you double-click 
on a device icon, a window wiil 
open showing you the contents 
of that device. 

The second is called a 
Drawer or Directory Icon, and 
works in a srmilar way to the 
Disk icon A directory is the 
computer equivalent of a folder 
in a filing cabinet, it doesn't 
actually tell you any informa- 
IJon itself, it s just a receptacle 



which contains related files. 
Unlike a (iling cabinet, the 
computer's also capable of 
storing folders within folders. A 
directory inside another direc- 
tory is called a sub-directory, 
and is considered to be tlie 
child of the directory ft's in. 

By double-clicking on a 
Directory Icon, a window is 
again opened to show you its 
contents. 

The next type is called a

Some programs can only be

they may still have an icon, try- 
ing to load them will generate 
the error message Unable to 
open tool xyz' (xyz is the name 
of the program). 



The Project Icon is used for 

any saves that you might 
make. Irom a ^ord processor 
or art package for instance. 
When you double-dick on 
them, Proiect Icons will auto- 
matically attempt to load the 
program that they were cre- 
ated with, and then load into 
that progrann. For example, if 



you Clicked on the Projeci Icon 

for a text tile that was created 
using Wordworth, it would 
automatically load the word 
processor before loading your 
file into it. 

The final icon type is called 
Trash, and is used for the 
Trashcan on your Workbench 
disk. It represents a directory

A WINDOW 
ON THE WORLD 

If you take a moment to look at 
the window containing the 
icons, you'll see that it has a 
number of characteristics as 
well. For starters, the wiodow 
has a thick border around it 
which displays various types of 
information. 

At the top of the window 
there's a name: Workbenchi .3 
or Workbench2,0 in this case. 
This indicates the name of the 
icon that was double-clicked to 
open the window in the first 
place. 

To the left of the name is a 
small square with a dot inside 
it. This is called a 'Closo 
Gadget' because If you move 
the pointer over it and click 
with the left mouse-button, it 
closes the current window. 

To the right of the window 
name are two further gadgets 
connected with positFoning and 
sizing of the window. These 
gadgets look and function dif- 
ferently an machines with 1 .3 
or 2.0 operating systems. 

On a 1 .3 Amiga, the gad- 
gets look like two differently 
coloured over-lappJng rectan- 
gles. They both adjust the 
positioning of the window in 
relation to other windows 
which you may have opened. If 
you click the gadget with the 
dark rectangle to the front it 
pushes the current window 
behind any other windows that 
may be open. The gadget with 
the light rectangle to the front 
performs the opposite function. 

On a 2.0 Amiga there's still 
one overlapping rectangle 
gadget, but the other one has 
been replaced with a picture of 
a white square inside a blue 
one. 

If you click on the over-lap- 



11 



Hniga Wort;bsnch 96^384 qnylms nen 1823848 othfr nm 



^ ping rectangies, it either brings 

the window to the front, or 
pushes it to the back of the 
screen according to its current 
status. If you Click on the other 
gadget the window is auto- 
maticalfy reduced or enlarged 
so that you can either see 
other things an the screen, or 
see more of the window you're 
working on. 

Filling up the entire fight- 
hand Side of the window is a 
bO)( capped at each end with 
arrows. Sometimes when a 
window is open, there are 
more icons than can be dis- 
played at one time. Any icons 
which can't be displayed still 
has a position relative to the 
other icons, they're simply out 
of sight Consider the windows 
of your own house - just 
because much of the terrain 
outside is out of view doesn't 
mean thai it ceases to exist! 

By clicking on either of the 
arrows, ^ou can move the win- 
dow's position relative to the 
various icons. 

Between the two arrows 
there's a bar known as a 
Scroll Bar' which can be used 
as a quicker way of moving the 
window around. If you click on 
the scroll bar with the left 
mouse button and keep the 
button held down, you can 
move the bar up and down 
within the box. The scroll bar 
itself represents the currently 
visible window, and the box 
represents the total amount of 
information to be displayed. 
For example, if the scroll bar 
half filfs the box it means that 
the current window is equiva- 
lent to half of the total vertical 
area that t he icon s occu py . 

Running horizontally along 
the bottom of the wirtdow, 
V0u1! notice another set of 
arrows complete with scroll 
bar. These work in exactly the 
same way laterally as the verti- 
cal ones- 

In the bottom right of the 
window there's a small gadget 
for resizing it- If you dick the 
pointer on it keeping the but- 
ton pressed, you can increase 
or decrease the size of the 
window. 

The final element of a win- 
dow can be found along its 
left-hand side, where you'll 
noti<^ a gauge with an *F' at its 
top and an 'E' at its base. This 
is only found on windows 
which were opened as a result 
of clicking on a device icon 

12 



because it shows how full or 
empty the current device is. In 
most cases this only refers to a 
disk, but it can also be used to 
indicate spare memory. 

2.0 users will notice that this 
is absent on their version of 
Workbench, but if you look to 
the right of the window name, 
you'll see a more detailed 
description of the current 
device. 

Now that we've briefly 
explored the anatomy of a win- 
dow and the purpose of icons, 
we'll move on to look at menus 
and how they work. 

MENU 
SELECTIONS 

Press the right mouse button 
and hold it. You 11 notice that 
the top of the screen changes 
to display a number of words. 
These words indicate that one 
or more options relating to that 
heading can be found there. 
Still holding the button down, 
move the pointer until it's on 
top of one of the words. The 
word should become high- 
lighted (change colour), and a 
fist of words should appear 
below it. These are the options 
that f mentioned. Without 
releasing the button, slide the 
pointer down the list of options. 
As the pointer moves over 
them, some may become high- 
lighted themselves, or still 
further options may appear to 
their side. Many of the options 
will appear to be written in 
faded letters, and cannot be 
selected. This is called 
Ghosting" and the computer 
does it to indicate that those 
options are not currently avail- 
able. 

If you wish to select an 
option, sirnpjy move the 
pointer onto it so that it 
becomes highlighted, then 
release the right-mouse-btit- 
ton. 

We're going to take a closer 
look at the different 
Workbench options now, but 
because there are so many dff- 
ferences between 2.0 and 
1 .3./2 Amigas, we'll examine 
each one in turn starting with 
the 1.3. 

1 *3 MENUS 

The 1 .3 Workbench contains 
three menu headings! 
Workbench. Disk and Special. 

The Workbench menu con- 
tains all of the options 
pertaining to individual files. 
Here's how they work: 

Open: If you you select an 
icon (by clicking on it once)

and select Open, it perforins 
the saine tLrnciioin as if you'd 
double-€licked the icon, ie, ft 
either opens another wii^dow. 
or attempts to load a program. 
Close: Once a window has 
been opened, it can be $hut by 
selectiiig its icon then selecting 
close, 

Dupficate: Affows you to 
make a copy of a program or 
drawer. Select the icon of the 
item to be duplicated and 
select Duplicate from the 
menu. A file will be created 
called Copy of... whatever'. 
Note, if you want to make a 
duplicate of a program on a 
disk, as opposed to one in 
memory, thie disk must be 
write-enabJed. 

Rename: Sefect a file or 
draw9r theii choose rename to 
change its title. 

Info: As described earlier, 
each loon has specific charac- 
teristics which can be shown 
by first selecting the icon then 
Info, Info also gives details 
about the protection status of a 
selected icon, and allows you 
to make programs non-detete- 
able for mstance. 

Dtscard: This option piD- 
vides you with a quick way to 
permanently erase unwanted 
files etc. SeJect the itein to be 
destroyed then choose the 
Discard option from the menu 
to kiff it. 

There are two options in the 
Disk menu: Empty Trash and 
Initialize. 

Empty TrasJi: If you wish to 
dejete a fot of files, it may be 
quite time consumiog to use 
the Discard option for each 
one. If you double-click on the 
Trashcan icon, a window wi-ll 
open which represents the 
inside of the 'can'. By clicking 
on an icon and holding the but- 
ton down, you can drag 
unwanted files into this win- 
dow, then when you're ready 
to delete them all select the 
Trashcan icon and choose 
Empty Trash to erase every- 
thing in one swoop. 

Initialize: This is just 
another wond for format. When 
you buy a blank disk it is 'raw' 
and unready for use on the 
Amiga. Before it can be used it 
mijst be converted into a spe- 
cial format which the Amiga 
can understand. By inseiling 
the new disk, then selecting its 
icon and initial lizing it, the disk 
is transformed into something 
that the Amiga can read and 
write to, 

The Special menu contains 
mfsceilaneous commands 



which, among other things, 
help you to keep the appear- 
ance of your Workbench 
screen tidy. 

Clean Up: When a window 
is first opened, selecting Clean 
Up wfll cause all of its poons to 
be arranged neatly within it, 
thus saving you the chore of 
having to do the job by hand. 

Snapshot: Once the icons 
in a window are arranged as 
you want them, selecting 
Snapshot with the window 
selected, tells the Amiga to 
save that layout. Whenever the 
window is opened in future, the 
icons will' be presented exactly 
as you snapped' them r 

Last Error: Occasionally 
the Amiga generates error 
messages telling you that 
something is wrong. It you 
didnl notice a message that 
was flashed up on the screen, 
selecting Last Error wili re-dis- 
play it 

Redraw: If a window has 
been corrupted for some rea- 
son. Redraw attempts to 
restore it to its former condi- 
tion. 

Version: Selecting this 

optron displays the version 
numbers of both your Kickstart 
and Workbench. 

3.0 MENUS 

Workbench 2.0 features many 
enhancements over previous 
versions, and its four menus 
are the first to reflect these 
improvements. 

Backdrop: Unlike its prede- 
cessors. Workbench 2.0 opens 
a window to dfsplay all icons, 
including device icons. By 
selecting Backdrop, the win- 
dow can be switched off so 
thai these icons appear on a 
standard backdrop. 

Execyle Command: This 
open up a small requester into 
which you can type CLI com- 
mands. This saves you time 
because previously you would 
have had to open a Sheli or 
CLI winidowtodothis. 

Redraw All: Similar to the 
1 .3 Redraw command, Redraw 
Alf simply attempts to refresh 
any corrupted areas of the 
screen. 

Update All: Sometimes 
information in one window is 
not displayed because another 
window has taken precedence. 
Selecting Update All causes all 
windows to be redrawn, and all 
information in them to be 
updated. 

Last Message: Whereas 
the Last Error option of 
Workbench 1 .3 o nly displayed «,

the previous Error Message, 
Last Message will re-display 
any message which you may 
haveiust missod. 

About: This i$ exactly the 
same as the 1 .3 Info cornrnand 
as it provides you with irtorma- 
tion about the Kickstart and 
Workbench Versions that are 
currently in use. 

Qy It: This much needed 
option allows the user to shut 
down the Worl^bench, freeing 
any memory that it may have 
been using. This option should 
be used'i with care, because 
unless a Shell window is left 
open, you can't return to 
Worklbench once you've 
selected this. 

Unsurprisingly, the Window 
menu contains options relating 
to windows and items within 
them. 

New Drawer: This creates 
an empty directory pn the cur- 
rent window. 

Open Parent: When t 
talked earlier about directories 
and sub-directories. I men- 
tioned that a siib-directory is 
considered to be the child of its 
host directory. Because you 
can close a rnain directory win- 
dow whilst its child is still open. 
Open Parent will re-open it. 

Close: This shuts down the 
active window and performs 
the same function as clicking 
on a window's Close gadget. 

Update: When the contents 
of a window have been altered 
as a result of a CLI, Shell or 
other operation, the updated 
contents would not usually be 
displayed until that window is 
closed and re -opened. Update 
simply performs this function 
for you. 

Select Contents: 
Occasionally you may wish to 
select all of the icons within a 
window. Although you can 
achieve this vria a number of 
extended selection methocte. 
the easiest way is simply to 
choose the Select Contents 
option. 

Clean Up: Again, this 
option performs the same 
basic function as its 1 .3 coun- 
terpan, but it's been made 
more flexible in the way that it 
worlds. Whereas under t.3 
Workbench the Clean Up 
option only worked as soon as 
a window had been opened, it 
can now be used any time to 
tidy up the icons within the 
active window.

necessarily have to have an 
icon, there may be a number 
of tidden" files within any 
directory. Select show and all 
false icons will be temporarily 
created for files which don't 
ha-i/e one. 

View By: Although the 
Workbench defaults to show 
all files by icon, you may pfefer 
to see them displayed in 
words. The View By option has 
four sub-choices: (con^ Name, 
Date and Size. If you choose 
one of the latter three, afl files 
will be displayed as text, but 
soled according to the choice 
you made. For instance 'View 
By Date' will generate a 
chronological list of files, with 
the oldest at the top, and the 
most recently created at the 
bottom. 

The third menu, calted 
Icons, is roughly equivalent to 
the Workbench menu of 1 .3 
systems in that it contains 
opiions for manipulatin g indi- 
vidual icons and files. 

Open: Copy: Rename: 
Inform at! 00: These four 
options wonk in the same way 
as their 1 .3 counterparts ^ so 
read the Workbench menu 
section for more details. 

Sfiapsfiot: This saves the 
position of the selected icon or 
icons to disk so that whenever 
its window is opened, it's in the 
same position. 

Un snaps hot: This aiSows 
you to over-nde the position of 
an icon. It the icon is not snap- 
shotted again, the Workbench 
will position it where it wants 
when the window is opened in 
future. 

Leave Oyt: Using the 
Leave Out option, an icon can 
be moved outside its parent 
window and placed in the 
Workbench window. Although 
Its associated files will remain 
where they were, the icon will 
be permanently displayed on 
the Workbench window unless 
they are-.. 

Put* away: This restores an 
icon to its originai location after 
it's been moved using the 
Leave Out option. 

Delete: Allows you to erase 
files from the disk, memory 
etc. 

The Tools menu is unique 
in that it's the only one that you 
can add items to. For pro- 
grams which support this 
feature, it means that they can 
be loaded via this menu option 
without having to open a win- 
dow and double-click on their 
icon.

STARTING 




Controlling your Amiga can be won- 
derful - but before you can learn to 
progranrip you'll need to know how 
your computer starts up. . . 



R fibular r&aders will recaH ttiat v^e 
siiow&d you riow to write your 
□wn startup-sequences back in the 
June '91 issue of CU. Witfi so many 
new rsadfirs j Dining us, we thought 
lliat WB ought tq go right back to 
basics and explain how the 
Workbench startup-sequences wortt. 

A startup-sequeoc^ is a small 
program present on many disk&. 
which the Amiga look^ at to receive 
further instructions on how to con- 
figure the computer and load the 
contents of the disk. 

HEART OF 



The startup-S€(]uence can be found 
in the S: directory ot a disk and gen- 
eral ly only contains the minimum 
number ot commands required to 
run the programs on it. The 
Workbench startup-sequence is 
somethir^g of a showpiece because it 
contains many commands which are 
not iieeded tor oormal Workbench 
operations. This makes it an ideal 
plaoe to learn about the subtleties of 
startup-sequences. 

Let's t>egin by taking a look M the 
startup-sequence that comes with 
Workbench 1.3.2. The line numbers 
(V1B) are for refflrenDe only: 
WORKBENCH 1.3-2 STARTUP- 
SEQUENCE

WHAT IT 
ALL MEANS 

Now ril explain what everything 
means m a bit more detail; 

1.Cs5etPatch>NIL! 

Because it's a disk-based machine. 
the Amiga r-equires a Disk Operating 
System (DOS) to allow users to con- 
trol the way that informatFon is 
transferred 1o and from the disks. 
Unfortunately Ihe DOS of both 1.2 
and 1 .3 Amigas had a number of 
minor errors in it. Because the DOS 
is permanently stored in Read Only 
Memory chips (ROMS) users cant 
easily replace them for corrected ver- 
sions. 

A solution has l)een created in the 
form of a systems patch. This patch 
essentially attaches itself to the 
Amiga ROMS and substitutes the 
faulty programs with correpted ver- 
sions. The Setpatch command is 
used to activate the systems patch so 
' that everythiitg works property. 

2. Addbuffors dIOt 10 

When you need to find out whaf s on 
a disk you call up a contente direc- 
tory This directory is loaded from 
the disk, and shows you all programs 
-at a specified level. The Addduffers 
command is used to create memory 
buffers so that when a directory is 
requested, that information can be 
stored temporarily. If the user then 
requests ttie same directpry a little 
white later, the Amiga doesnl have to 
waste time neading that information 
from the dis*< because ft's already 
storied in memoiy. 

Each buffer is 5t2 bytes (half a 
1(ilobyte (K)) long. Althaugh the 
Workbench startup-sequence sets up 
ten buffers, if you have the memory, 
20-25 buffers will make your Amiga 
far more efljclent. 

You should note that each disk

drive must have bLiffers assigned 
sp&cifi€afly for it andi the Warktjenth 
only sets up buffers for the internaf 
drive (dfO:). If yog want to cr&ate 
butlers for a second drive. you'H 
have to use a commard sometfiing 
likeAddbuff&rsdf1:25. 

3. edsc 

Although yo J can storE a lot of infor- 
mation on a disk, that information 
doesn't all have to be stored in itie 
same place- To nnike retrieval of 
information easier, files which are 
related can be grouped and placed 
into 'drawers' called directories. 

Imagine that you're storing letters 
Dn a disk; you may have 200 letters 
covering business and personal cor- 
re^pondance. The business letters 
may also be sub-divided into private 
and job-related business. 

If your letters are alf stored in ttie 
same piace, artd you wanted to 
retrieve a specific one, you'd have to 
wade through dozens of unreteted 
titl&s b&foreyou eveotually found 
yDur choice. 

By seperaiing the letters eo that 
business and personal letters are 
stored in seperate drawers, you may 
haKiB the amount of searching 
required to find your file. DirectariEs 
can even be nested within each other 
(like those Russi^an dolls). When one 
directory Is placed within another it's 
called a sub-directory. 

If you want to load a particular 
file, you must te<! the computer which 
direclofiesil'sin. 

When th^ startup-scQuence is 
run, the computer must load each 
Mmmand from disk before it knows 
what to do. Most of the commands 
are stored in a directory called C: so 
rather than spEcHy thjs directory 
eachf time a command is calted, thp 
CD command (short tor Current 
Directory), tells M computer to look 
<n the C directory foraH future com- 
mands. 

Workbench Disk (UK). 
Iteleaae 1.3.2 vorsioti 
34.28" 

The echo command simply tells the 
Amiga to dupiioate everything within 
Ihfi quotation marks on lh& screen. Jn 
this case it Sim ply prints the 
Workbench ver^ioo numt>er on the 
screen whilst the rest of the disk 
loads. 



5- SyssSystem/ 
FastMemFirst 

The Amiga's memory is split into two 
marn parts: fast Ram and chip Ram. 
Unfortunately, the custom chips [the 
btitter etc) cannot operate directly 

upon data stored in fast ram. 
However, when programs are run- 
ning, they sometimes requ&st 
memory ol an ynspecified type for 
certain operations. FastMem First 
ensures that on these occasions, fast 
Ram is allocated, thus saving vaiu- 
al>le chip ram for custom chip 
operations. 

6. BindDrivei^ 

When additional items of hardware 
{hard drives, etc} are used, additional 
driver^ are sometimes required so 
that the computer can communicate 
with them properly. These drivers 
(which are stored in the Expansions 
directory of a disk), need to be acti- 
vated and 'linked' to the Amiga's 
system. This is what the BindDrivers 
command does. 

7, S«tClock load 

The Amiga use^ an internal system 
dock to k&Ep track of the time and 
date. This clock resets itself every 

time the computer is turn Ed off. 

Some memory expansbns are fit- 
ted with a batt&ry 'hacked ciock 
which does not reset when the com- 
putEr's power is turned off. 

Although this clock is seper^te 
from the Amiga's system clock, the 
system clock can l>e made to syn- 
chronise itself with the 
battery-baclked ooe using the 
SEtdock command. 

6. FF >NIL: ^ 

The Amiga's defauH: speed for on- 
screen text printing is relativeiy slow. 
An Amiga programmer calied Charlie 
Heath wrote a short program called 
Fast Fonts which speeded it up by 
about 20%, aod as a result 
Commodore included it with all Iheir 
1 .3 Amigas. This command simply 
activates the program. 
9. resident CLI LrShall- 
Seg SYSTEM pur« add 
The Commajid Line Interface (CLI) is 
an interpreter which aliov^ user^ to 
issue typed commands to tlie Amiga. 
Shell is a more sophisticated vErsion 
of CLL This command loads tfie CLI 
into memory and transforms it into 
Shell by linki{>g the upgraded Si>all~ 
sag. 



10. resident os execute 
pure 

This command simply loads the exe- 
cute command and makss it memory 
resident. This means that the com- 
mand won't have to be loaded each 
time it's used. 

11. mount newcons 

Simiiaftotheway thatthe 
BindDrivers command was used to 
activate hardware driv&rs. mount 
Newcon: is used to activate the Shell 
related Newcon: device. Once acti- 
vated, this mErely provides the user 
with additional Shell editing facilities. 

12. faiiat 11 

When Amiga programs are running, 
an error number rs aenerated it a 
problem is encountEred. The more 
severe the error, the higher the num- 
ber. 

UnJess specified, all errors will 
halt any further execution of the pro- 
gram. By raising the failure number 
from 10 to 11 . minor errors encoun- 
tered during the Startup I ( script 
(BxecutEd in the next iioe) are 
ignored, and the program is allowed 
to continue. 

1 3i run execute 
ssStartupil 

This simply runs a second set of 
commands stored as a file callsd 
StartupIL 

14. wait >NIL: 5 min» 

Because the Amiga is capabie of 
multi-tasking (doing two things at 
once), it would attempt to riun 
Siartupll (in line 13) and the remain- 
der of the main startup-sequence at 
once. 

Wtillstttiis is fine in theory, fn 
practice it often results in two pro- 
grams trying to read from the 
Workbrench disk simultaneously. 
thus causing the horrible grinding 
noise that many people are familiar 
with. 

This line tells the Amiga to sus- 
pend execution of the remaining 
startup-sequence commands until 
Startupll has be&n completed. 
Unfortunately it doesn't work very 
well, and the disk drive still makes a 
noise! 

15. SYS:System/ 

Set Map gb 

When you prEss a key, the computer 
doesn't think to itself 'Ah, he's just 
pressed the letter A', or 'she's just 
typed hetio'. Each keypress generates 
a number which is "^mapped' against 
an internal list which tells the Amiga 
what you meant when you struck a 
particular key. 

BEing an American-made com- 
puter, the Amiga defaults to use an 
American translation fist. This is tine 
in most cases, but certain symbols 
such as #' and T are in different 
positions on a British keyboard. 



The SetMap command allows tlie 
user to specify which language he 

wants the keyboard configured to. 

16. path r^m: c: &ys!utii- 
ities Ay9:syetefii &! 
&ya:pref^ add 

If you recall what I said about direc- 
tories and path names when I was 
describing the CD: c command in line 
3, you may ai ready have an idea what 
purpose this line servas. It simply 
tells the Amiga where to look when 
looking for file^ in particular directo- 
ries -prefs for example. 

17. LeadWB delay 

LoadWB simply ioads Clie Wortthench 
so that you can use the icon -based 
loading system. The daiay command 
tells I he computer to wait for a few 
moments before doing so. This is yet 
another atte^npt to reduce disk grind- 
ing as the computer would otherwise 
be performing two disk operations at 
once (finishing loading the LoadWS 
command, and loading the 
Workbench itselfj, 

IS. endcii >IIILs 

This command merely tells the CLI 
that ifs no longer needed, and that it 
should close itself down and go 
away. Until this command is issued, 
the Workbench screen is not visible 
hecauSE it's behind the CLI window. 



IN CONCLUSION 

You've probably noticed that a num- 
ber ol commands are suffixed by the 
characters >NIL:. Just so that you 
won't be iefl wondering what that 
means, many commands print mes- 
sages wtiich tails ^om more at)out 
them, or confirm that they are being 
successfully executed. As this test 
output is not reafly reifuired, it is sent 
to a special location calied NIL;. 

Weir, that's all there is tottie main 
Workbench 1.3.2 slartup-sequence. 
WorkJjench 2,0 features a number of 
differences which we'll discuss in 
detail on another occasion. 

Vou might as well think of NIL: as 
a Umbo where unwanted rubbish is 
dumped, because that^sthe purpose 
it serves in the startup-sequence. 

For users who know how to use 
ttie CLI, you can prove this by typing 
LIstdfO:. This will give you a normal 
listing of the flies on the disk in the 
internal drive. Now type List dfO: 
>NIL: 

Tf^e computer still reads the disk, 
but nothing has been printed on the 
screen. The information has been 
sent to NIL; nev^r to be seen again! 

Hopefully you've fouod this fea- 
ture Irrfonmative. If you have any 
further questions, dofit forget Hi at 
you can always send them in to us at

You've bought an Amiga and you're about to 
enter the bustling the world of computer 






games. But where do you start? CU guides 
you through the hundreds of game-styles and 
packages at your fingertips... 



As far as computer games are con- 
cerned, the Amiga is probably the 
best 16-bit machine there is. Every 
aspect of gaming is catered for, from the 
deepest dungeons to the newest film 
and arcade licences^ and ~ more impor- 
tantly - they are all easily available. 
With the machine now out-selling its 
many rivals, mofe and more companies 
are producing games for it, and it's 
future is looking very rosy indeed - in 
fact, out of all the machines currently on 
the market, only (he Amiga stands a 
chance of keepfng up with the latest 
console boom. And the reason for this 
lies fn the machine's flexibility and tech- 
nical capabilities.

The same goes for film licences.

Nine times out of ten, these are made

several different game-styles, but occa- 
sionally, someone will really push the

then the Amiga game won't be far

Although it isn't as technically advanced

Amiga can handle such conversions 
fairly well. Obviousfy, they aren1 going

major adventures can be found on the

addition, the 
Amiga was also

now sports more 
of this sub-genre

Cheap'N'Cheerful 

The thing is. no matter how you like your 
gameSp the Amiga can more than cater 
for it- it even mixes in dozens of game- 
styles if you so wish. And although 
twenty-six odd quid may seem a little 
excessive for the latest release, then the 
major companies like U.S. Gold, Ocean 
and DomarK have all produced spin-off 
budget labels where their past hits can 
be found for under a tenner. Within this 
thriving budget market there are dozens 
of real gems to be found- Take the 
aforementioned Batman licence ^ for 
instance: this pioneered decent licenced 



product with its top-notch mix of driving 
and platform sequences, and tor a mea- 
gre £7.99 represents an absolute steal. 
In addition, if you re a tan of older coin- 
ops ^ such as Bionic Commando, Outrun, 
or Bubble Babble, these too can be 
found at a budget price. 

This isn't to say that the budget arena 
is predominantly made up of re- 
releases, though. Codemasters, 
veterans of the cut-price game, have 
madei a bundle from their Otzzj/ series, 
which are platform -based arcade/adven- 
tures starring a little egg-like character, 
and Ocean have just tentatively 




released their first original budget game^ 
with U.S. Gold about to do the same. In 
addition, if you have upgraded from an 
8 -bit machine, then there are also sto- 
ries circulating that several companies 
are at present updating their back cata- 
logue games for the Amiga, so you 
needn't miss the likes of BBach Head, 
Con^bat School o^ G/y?or after all. And, 
bearing in mind that the Amiga has 
almost identical specifications to these 
aging coin-ops, there's no reason why 
these conversions shouldn't be identical 
when they arrive. 

PD File 

Furthermore, if your pocket can't stretch 
to budget games either, the Amiga has 
one of the busiest Public Domain 
scenes of any macfjine. As well as the 
may impressive demos and utilities Ihe 
scene affonjs, the odd gem of a game 
can be found, too. Small games 
knocked up using Domark's 3D 
Construction Kitot Palace's Shoot em 
Up CanstnictfOn /<//are regularly 
released, but the PD scene is also fre- 
quented by talented new programmers

who want to test their wares before they 
start professionally. Among the classics 
we've seen are an incomparable versfon 
of that golden oldie, Missile Command, 
several superior shoot 'em ups - of 
which the excellent Tank fs the best « 
and a rather spiffy platform affair by the 
name of Drip. These are all available for 
roughly a pound and the price of a blank 
disk, and can represent excellent value 
for their minimal cost. 

Buy, Buy 

So where can these many games be 
found, then? Well, that's the beauty of it 
Everywhere! All the major chains. 
including Boots, WH Smiths and 
Woo lies stock Amiga games, and the 
small computer shops are still alive and 
kicking. In addition, com;panies like 
Virgin are confident enough in the future 
of the computer boom to introduce a 
chain of shops dedicated to computer

eight quid on a new release. Howeverp 
there are a few fly-by-night companies
