Please remember to quote the disk REFerence number when ordering ============================= FALCON PD AND SHAREWARE GAMES ============================= Ref: 020 OXYD is the now classic Dongleware game and it needs a VGA monitor in order to play it. Move your marble around knocking the switches to allow safe passage into the next zone. You will have to register if you want to go past level 10. A very good game indeed, nice presentation and sound effects. VGA only. SPACOLA is another Dongleware game, this time its almost like asteroids, except there are more aliens than rocks! Zoom around in this mono hi-res game and waste the baddies and collect the goodies. There are some superb sound effects built into this one. VGA and also RGB. Ref: 043 Amoungst lots of other things this disk contains the game LAMEMINES and MARIO. Lamemines as you might expect is a version (and a very hard one at that) of the popular PC Window's classic. Only this time you have a huge screen to clear and alsorts of samples! MARIO involves you driving what looks like a womble in a go-cart around a track! No skill involved, just mindless fun for a few seconds. Ref: 046 NETHACK is the new revised edition, needs 2 meg, is best with a VGA and is very, very large indeed! The text based RPG characters have been replaced with graphics and icons and I can promise you many sleepless nights are to be had. VERTICAL MAYHEM is a nice little columns clone ported from the Amiga by Griff of Electronic Images. Ref: 050 LASERS AND MEN. This is the first ever attempt at a Wolfenstien 3D game on the Falcon, and it works... just! The graphics are crude at the moment, but the playability is there. Let's just hope they can speed things up a little for the next version. Ref: 053 OXYD RGB yes its the Dongleware classic but now its been fixed so it works on RGB displays. MAHJONG is a detailed version of the classic board game which I am yet to work out how to play! Ref: 054 FALCON TRON is exactly that! No matter how nicely you dress up a tron game with flashy graphics and sound its always going to involve moving a line around a screen in an attempt to destroy other lines! Still at least this is a very nice version of it. RGB only. MADTRIS is a wild and crazy idea for a game, take Tetris and make the blocks fall in from the sides (like Welltris but not 3D!) oh its hard to explain and even harder to play, confusing but entertaining. RGB only. MASTERS OF CHAOS, now this is special - a deep and involved Dungeon Master style game for one or two players (or 4 via link up) plenty to do and see, nice graphics and nice sound effects. RGB only. Ref: 079 TRIYAHOO this is a version of Yahtzee for the Falcon and it is more flexible and compatible than lots of applications I can mention! The game involves rolling dice and making sets like a small straight or a full house. It is a really good game once you get into it and the presentation is top notch as are the sound effects. My highest score on a three card yahtzee is 2060 - anyone beat that? Excellent stuff! STELLO is the most detailed game of Othello you will ever play, and whats more you will never be able to beat the computer because it is so damn smart! You can even load pictures into the background of the board (and several tasty example are provided). Very very good but frustratingly difficult. Ref: 083 STARBALL. Every once in a while along comes a PD game that makes you think - WOW! - and I promise you this is one of them! Pinball games are not very easy to do and the PD versions available are far and few between. But pinball games of this calibre are VERY rare, indeed this is the best pinball game I have ever played on an Atari, commercial or otherwise. The graphics are very very very good (I want to stress that point!) as are the sound effects, whats more you can choose your own soundtracker modules to play in the background should you so desire. There are four tables and plenty of bonus screens including a Llamatron screen! Very addictive playing and very clever, register your copy now because I promise you are going to love this one. Balls of a different kind can be found in Parx's MULTIBALL its like pong but with four players, lots of balls and manic fun indeed! Get two Atari power pads plugged in and four people can go crazy around your Falcon as you bounce the balls into each others areas. Wild fun, superbly presented and GREAT music, shame its RGB only. Ref: 084 There are other things on this disk (mpeg animations) along with UFO WAR a nifty little two player blast - em - up. It runs in RGB overscan and you pilot your little craft around trying desperatly to destroy the other player - well best of luck to you because this is a tricky little number! Again flawless presentation and music. Ref: 090 BLACK HOLE gee this is an odd game! It works on a VGA or RGB in 256 colour mode and ... well to be quite honest I havn't a bloody clue what you are supposed to do in it! The help files are not very helpful. If there is one thing about this game it has to be the sampled sound effects - quite amazing for sure, well worth ripping out! COLOUR CLASH is a brilliant little ST game from Animal Soft that I have fixed to run on the Falcon. Guide your chameleon across the screen, zapping blocks, inflating yourself and exploding!!! Its great fun and a good puzzle game, well written and, well I love it, so that is why its here! POTHOLE 2 is a boulderdash clone of the highest order, enough said really, if your idea of fun is rushing around collecting diamonds avoiding falling rocks and baddies then welcome to heaven!!!

If there are any specific games you would like us to find them please let me know as I have access to thousands of Spectrum titles, if these disks prove to be popular then look out for more very soon. Ref: 101 LASERS AND MEN this is the new updated version, sure the character graphics are still not complete, but the scenery is amazing!! You can now walk through fog, trees, coffee tables (?!) and admire the wonderful scenery of pictures and fractal patterns. Once this is over, kick-start your laser-pack and go blast some bad guys, because they are everywhere! This version has nice sound effects, music and better graphics and speed. Can't wait for the next update! Also on this disk is TRIMOD and lots of MegaTizer music, see the music section for more information. Ref: 131 WORLD CONQUEST is the poor man's Civilisation, a strategy war game where all you have to do to win, is defeat the other race by building up ships and planes and tanks and plundering the enemy lands. DYNABUSTERS PLUS is an amazing arcade game with superb DMA sampled sounds, its a conversion of the classic Hudson Soft game Dyna Blaster (which was originally called Eric and the Floaters when released on the 8-bits!). Up to 6 people can play at once and its mayhem all round. The graphics are brilliant and the gameplay is so addictive me and my friend spent a whole 4 hours doing nothing but playing this game! It's well worth getting if you have somone (or even better, lots of people) to play it with. RGB and VGA, run in ST LOW. SNACKMAN is the best pacman clone available for any Atari machine. Apart from enhanced graphics and sound on the Falcon this game reeks of polish and professionalism and is very, very addictive. You can even have two player games where one of you is the ghost! Falcon Fixed by FOG - full docs are included. TRIVIA is a simple multiple-choice game of general trivia and some of the questions are VERY hard indeed! But it's good, hectic fun and you will certainly learn a thing or two. WALZ is another variation on the breakout theme, again the usual power-ups fall from the sky making your bat bigger or smaller or making the ball stick or speed up or whatever else the programmers decided to code. The sound effects are nice and it will also run in any resolution. TAUTOLOGY is a superb version of the classic Shanghai game where-by you match pairs of tiles to remove them from the board the ultimate aim being to remove all the tiles in the time given. You can draw your own tile sets with this version and it is highly configureable, nice music and very addictive gameplay indeed. RGB only, dies a miserable death on VGA monitors. All games work on RGB and VGA unless otherwise stated.
