Lee, thanks, but what is it called, and where can I get it? Danice

Releases?
Message #92
Don't count on TVS Baseball any time soon. According to a recent issue of Computer Gaming World, the small company that was working on TVS Baseball has filed a $20 million suit against Cinemaware. It seems Cinemaware cancelled the project and then attempted to block the company from marketing the…
Sadly, I don't have a FAX machine. But if you could make copies of them I would be more than happy to refund the cost. Unless you live in NYC? Hope we speak soon. My address is 354 E. 91 ST. #15,NYC,NY 10128. Later, David
Bruce, Thank you for the information, I too have a feeling that this may be yet another of their missed release dates (i.e. I'd like to see that property before I will buy). It is good to hear that Curse will be coming out soon after the release try to…
Nick, Haven't heard about Wings yet, but anything from Cinemaware has to be good. Rampage is great fun (especially if you've had a lousy day). Destroying building after building can be very stress-relieving. — Linda

Shufflepuck Cafe?
Message #81
The little guy (what's his name, Skippy?) gave my six-year-old a real run for his money at the Egghead store (I was buying a null modem). I had dismissed it as a Pong remake, which goes to show I oughtn't judge a book by its cover. THol() { cout

Hi Scott, I have STRYX, and it is a blast. Also VIRUS is still the best 3-D defender game, although I don't make it past the 2nd level often…CRASH!! Have you seen Persian Gulf Inferno? Fun and topical!! -Nick

Linda, I haven't played T.F.Hour, but just purchased WINGS from CINEMAWARE and recommend it highly. Lots of fun and interesting, also. RAMPAGE was a blast in the arcade, how's the AMIGA version? -Nick

Clint, NO action/arcade games? Come on, you probably sneek one in now and then!! Try WINGS from CINEMAWARE for a GREAT one. -Nick
Thomas, My 2 cents… A fun game, probably the first 'mouse-buster' as opposed to 'joystick-buster' !! -Nick

John, Funny that you shoul ask that question. I just got off of the phone with the people from the SSI/Electronic Arts order line. You see when Champions of Krynn was released I was tol that Pools was going to be released later that week. Well here it is three…
Flood players?
Message #69
Anybody else playing Flood? This is the best platform-style arcade game that I have played in years. Anybody got any hints on how to beat level 39? tg

Message #68
Hey pip… :') As I told David there are close to forty pages, and they're drawn in pencil on graph paper. I'm willing to try to send some, if you have a FAX machine, but I'm not sure they'll be very legible. This is such a fun game to map,…

David, They're drawn in pencil on graph paper, and there's close to forty pages of them. I'm not sure how well they'd FAX, but if you have access to a machine, we could try a couple as a test. Lee
Projectyle Any Good?
Message #38
Hi. I had left a message about this earlier but it was lost in the forum conversion. The current issue of Computing Gaming World had a very favorable review of the EA import game Projectyle. I was wondering if anyone here on CIS has played the game and if so,…

Hi Folks!! What happened to the other 33 messages?? Lost in Space! Let's get the show on the road and the messages on the board!! QUESTION #2: What is your favorite AMIGA arcade/action game?? -Thanks, Nick
Is Shufflepuck Cafe enjoyable? And how! Whether a novice or master, it's great fun because you have a range of opponents, with varying skills, to choose from. And some of their snarling/smirking alien retorts when they smash a puck into your goal just drive you on to blow them away.…

Has anyone played the Amiga version of Shufflepuck Cafe? Is it enjoyable? THol() { cout
Not yet… –>Steve Bennett
did you find BT II?
Thanks Lee. Damn strange that the two copies I've tried in my machine have that problem. -allen
Tim, Sounds like you were hitting the carrier correctly, just from the wrong direction. The 'Loop and Land' is the quickest I know of, but circling will work. There IS a minimum time you have to be aloft, or so it seems. I just ran through it as quickly as…
It took me about 15 tries to qualify myself. I thought I was doing everthing right. I would fly inverted over the carrier and then come around and land. I finally qualified after CIRCLING around the carrier. I don't know why it wouldn't work the other way. Tim BURFord
Allen, I tried it last night with any number of members from one to six, and was able to exit by clicking on the CANCEL button every time. Lee
I'm actually in the northern suburbs (Eastern Montgomery County…). –>Steve Bennett
Allen, It seems like I didn't have a problem with six members when I first started BTII. Since then, I've always loaded a Red Dragon first, so haven't noticed. I'll try it tonight. Lee
Steve, I'm sure it's in the Philadelphia area. What part of Phily are you in? I live near there as well. -allen
Ken, have you played the Amiga Bards Tale II? If you have, have you tried exiting the "add member" option of the main menu with less than 7 party members? Mine won't let me unless I have 7 members in the party. -allen
Last I looked there wasn't a BT2 walkthru. I'll ask in GAMERS one of these days if I get too impatient waiting for my cheat sheets oops I mean cluebook to arrive.
Considering he just bad mouthed the amiga on Genie a couple weeks back – Im sure it wont be that. Hes working on a Mac II, so its probably for that (or at least in the Mac line). Paul
haha, maybe that's part of what's wrong with the Shadow Sub mission? 🙂 Now, you have to write a review of this for me, you know…:)
Mr. WoodHead has been known for, uh, thinking rather highly of himself and making statements like that. (Though he is a real nice guy.)
Henry, I left a message for Robert Woodhead in GAMERS and he says within a year he will blow our minds but he has no specifics at all about how he's going to do so. Makes me wonder if he intends to do so on the Ami or some other…
Sub Battle Simulator
Message #316
I just got Sub Battle Simulator from Epyx. Indeed it looks very nice! However, I was a bit dismayed the first time I dived my sub. The bug? Yes, here you can reproduce it too, it is almost as good as the anti-grav device that was installed on the F/A…
Thanks for your thoughts. Everyone's certainly entitled to like what they want to like, and it's interesting to see different ideas on what's good and why. We don't really disagree about Bard's Tale – you do acknowledge that it's mindless hack-and-slash, and whether one likes that or not is personal…
#Game Debate
Message #286
I was disappointed in the Bard's Tale II clue book–too detailed. The BT I clue book left something up to the player, but this new one comes complete with numbers. Not much to solve. As to the mindless hack and slash character of Bard's Tale, I can tell you exactly…
Thom, Note that if any 'real' battles ensue, I take no responsibility whatsoever. Good luck — sounds like a fun enterprise. ..Bob
Alas, NONE of the stores in my area (Phila. and suburbs) has gotten Bards Tale II in yet. But if you are really curious, you can always ask over in GAMERS, where there are people who finished BT II on other machines, or look in The Electronic Gamer (GO TEG)…
Yeah, but knowing Woodhead, it's gonna be for the IBM and the Mac, and us Amiga users will *still* never see any Sir Tech stuff… –>Steve Bennett
I'm glad it's friends – I've been playing Empire with a "stranger" and there have been paranoid feelings of cheating, including an accusation at one time (which was not from me, and which was withdraw very apologetically later.) It happened when 2 airplanes sunk 2 destroyers in 1 turn. THings…
Henry, It would be nice if it were true. But that information's from a man who thought his "enhanced" versions of Wizardry I and II for MS-DOS would work in EGA. They don't. And they even REMOVED the ability to set the colors of the dungeon from anything other than…
#BT2 starter dungeon
Message #274
Anybody far enough in Bard's Tale 2 to help me satisfy my curiosity with the starter dungeon? I finally gave up on it when I couldn't figure out how to rescue the princess and I had built myself up enough to try the "outside world". Probably doesn't bode well for…
#Empire Dread
Message #272
A group of friends plans to get together over the nCQ@few weekends in order to play some three-human Empire. The problem is, each has been playing repeatedly, obsessively, against the less-than-invincible AI. Each has been crushing the AI. Each has built up a self-image as a pretty-darned-capable player. I dread…
Robert Woodhead has claimed that he's working on a 16 bit system that is far superior to anything else yet, including FTL's system. It's being designed from the ground up on the 16 bits, according to him.
I didn't think that the opening was predictable at all. The story-line about you walking near the Stonehenge in England, the gypsy's tent, and the cards, and all the rest was excellent. The writing and ideas were far better there than in anything else that I can remember – any…
The thing to remember with Wizardry is that it's basically ancient computer RPG technology. It plays very similarly to Bard's Tale but with more puzzle solving and less hack and slash. Also, it's not at all as graphically oriented. I'm afraid if Wizardry *was* ported to the Amiga, it would…
You can pretty much ignore the morality. It quickly breaks down into a set of do this/don't do this decisions and you can get down to the *real* game which is exploration and puzzle solving, like most other RPGs. It's actually a very good game in those regards. –>Steve Bennett
Actually, the opening of the game was rather predictable. After going through it the first time, I found it absolutely no problem to go through it again and always end up with the exact character I wanted. I want a game that allows me to be "bad" or good or…
