#Amega
Message #94434
Yeah, Scribble was updated. Added a spellchecker some fancier routines, etc. I think I can get Wordperfect real cheap at my University, so I'll end up that route. Reed
Doug, Thanks for the info. Basically the extra meg is going to be for Analyze, Scribble II, and DPaint II. I'm not needing a HD yet, so I can probably wait on the pass-through add on. Glad to hear there is no wait states! Can't wait till I can have…
Amega
Message #93435
Hi, I am contemplating buying some memory expansion peripheral, and now that the Amega by C Ltd. is going for $250 mail order I was curious if any one could give me any pros or cons about it (does most software work with it, any wait-states, etc.) Any info would…
Marc, I paid $31.95 in a retail shop that never has discounts so there must be some difference in distributors. REED

John, Haven't gotten to far as yet in AF. It takes me about 5 minutes of listening before I can tear myself from the Opening music. Have you found Angel yet? REED
#stargliders
Message #69666
Hi, I picked up faery and starglider last week. Both are games that are a little difficult to get the hang of at first. I zoomin on faery, but starglider is giving me a fit. Is there a graphic breakdown on what each of the enemy vehicles, etc look like?…

Message #67988
I'm going to appear quite a novice, but my knowledge of the Amiga still remains woefully pitiful compared to my knowledge of the Apple II+. The Amiga is much more particular, and while it's infinitely more powerful, the time it takes to learn its uses is also infinitely longer. That…

Larry, I tried starting the program by typing in Larn-o, instead of just Larn, and I got a unknown command error. Should there be a space between Larn and the "-o"? The game is great! Only problem is icons are so small it is difficult to differentiate what they are.…
#Larn opts
Message #67825
Hi! I've just started Larn, and I'm stuck as how to use .larnopts to change name, level, etc. In the help file it shows larn-o. I've tried all the alt, shift, and function keys, and I'll be darned if I can find a key with larn printed on it. So…

Ariel, I was just a Sunday programmer. Just basic, pascal, and as little assembler as possible. I do wish the Amiga manuals were written by the same people as did the Apple manuals Amiga manuals are great for immsomnia, though REED

Gamestar BB!
Message #59296
Jason, Wow! Your message was all in capitals. You must have been mad, hooeeyy! Seriously, both Gamestar Basketball and football and golf have been innovative, but fun? Nah! Golf is a bore, basketball is too hard, and football is too weird. I prefer Mean 18, One on One, and Gridiron.…

Don, Will let you know! REED
I agree with you Jim, Amiga software is just too variable in quality to buy sight unseen. REED

Don, Thanks for the reply. I'll check out preferences and see if that is the culprit. I sure hope so. I wish I had the time to learn this computer backwards and forwards like my old Apple II+. Thanks again REED
Mary, I know the feeling. MicroLeague baseball, EW baseball, and Gamestars Championship baseball should all be out this spring, so don't waste your money on imitations. Spring training starts in 5 weeks. Go Royals!!!!! REED
Nevin, Incompetence doesn't gall me any less now than ever. I'd like to see any kind of good baseball game on the amiga. HAVEN'T SENT for my upgrade yet for gridiron. original was a good game except for pro level, which I felt favored overpowering computer players over higher intelligence.…
Mary, It's pretty easy to keep from buying a baseball program when only ported garbage like SSI's Computer Baseball is available. I agree with you, I say they should suspend all other activities and get out EW baseball, I mean like yesterday!!! (sorry for the run on sentence). REED
Nevin, Nope haven't heard a thing nut then being the slightly irresponsible graduate student type person I am, I didn't send in my card yet. I'll do it soon. I'm going to call Bethesda tomorrow 16dec about the upgrade. Maybe it's free. Doubt it though. Did you try my double…
Matt, I took the hint a little earlier on Brattacas and therefore saved myself some money and more importantly aggravation. I've figured out the navigation alright, but it is tedious, boring, and no fun either! And even with knowing how to get around, I still haven't found out what in…
#New Software
Message #43681
Hey dere , I was wondering if anybody else was either curious or stupid enough to but this new game called Deep Space by Psygosis. I've had it for about a week and a half, but have only tried to play it 3 times because of finals. Anyway, you get…
I've had Gridiron for about a month and I've found that the best defense you can make is as follows: Double man the ends with your corners and outside linebackers. Use your free safety to cover the TE. Go with a three man front and set inside LB to pursue.…

Nevin, Being naturally impatient, I took the liberty tuesday afternoon to call EA direct. Don't get your hopes up for baseball, return to atlantis, or any race game before spring. They plan on having autoduel, DMCS, Bard's tale (I think I'll pass, I've already beaten the apple version) and a…

Nevin, Run, do not walk, to your phone and dial this number 1-800-992-4009. The company is Bethesda Software and the progran is called Gridiron. The sound is great, graphics are better than Xor, and the gameplay is fantastic! Not only is there lots of plays, both OFF and DEF but…

Jim, If I had the time and inclination to hack now I would certainly do it on the Amy. As for now it helps my schoolwork, and my job, and my santity (that's where the games come in!) REED

Jim, I finished it about 6 months ago on my Apple II+. I still don't know how they got such wonderful graphics on the II+, but they did. If they take the time to do as good a job on the Amiga we'll be having plenty of Bard's Tale nightmares…

Brian, I just got word that my Amiga version computer baseball is in so I'm looking forward to picking it up tommorrow. I hope that SSI puts Cosmic Balance on the Amiga, maybe It'll have a modem mode, and you can face my dreadnought! Funny it's slow on the 64,…

Nevin, I agree with your priorites 75% Mine are games, games, business, word processing and games. If you see anything good let me know. Gridiron is out for the Amiga. Very good football simulator, you can develop your own plays, formations (within reason), draft your own team, but there's no…

The EA baseball game was unveiled in the latest Commodore Microcomputer magazine. It's supposed to have a great computer opponent, customizable ballparks, a quickplay game where you can replay quickly games to play out a whole season, and of course, great graphics and sound. It's release date was rumored to…
