Another great collection of 100% machine code games
including several arcade favourites collected from the best American
Atari User Groups. Here you have BATTLEROOM, INSECTS, CHOMPER and
AVALANCHE which find you avoiding death In many different ways from
being eaten to being squashed! CANYON and NORDIC are a couple of simple
vertical scrolling games but extremely well done and very playable. The
first is a two player game which has you flying through ravines to see
who can get the furthest whilst NORDIC is a fast and furious downhill
skiing game. Next is OLYMPIC DASH a real 'joystick waggler' for one or
two players as you compete in the 100 yards dash. Superb animation and
beautifully smooth scrolling that just has to be seen! Finally we have a
sort of cross between a dozen arcade games and noughts and crosses in a
quite fascinating and unusual game. To gain a square on the board you
must do battle with one of 12 different types of lifeform. Each is
different, each is challenging. This one is hard to explain but great
fun to play! You'll love it.
Boot with BASIC. When Ready appears type DIR, press
Return. Type .R16 and press RETURN.
