but rather as a supplementary  and interesting way of looking at the subject
and  is meant to  wet your appetite for  this intriguing and most satisfying
of subjects, the history of these islands.

The program runs from the battle of Bosworth in August 1485,  when the first

1603.   Operation  is  simplicity  itself.   All you do is type the year you
would  like  to  go  to,  press enter, type the month and press enter.  Once
you're  into  the Main screen, the N and M keys  retreat or advance a month,
the T and Y keys retreat or advance a year.

FDE-002 HISTORY MACHINE version II   1 DISK / £3.95        2MB Chip RAM
@5
Have you ever let your mind wander  and wondered what it would be like to be
in this locale at some time  in  the  past...  Picture yourself in the crowd
outside the Banqueting Hall at the  Palace of Westminster. The silent people
stand in thousands far off. The steady beat  of a tattoo and the pawing of a
horses hoof are  the  only  sounds  to  break  this  strange, eerie silence.
Soldiers, horse and  foot,  their  heads  bent  against  the  drizzle from a
mournful sky,  surround  the  black  scaffold,  on  which  stand  two masked
headsmen beside the block.  There,  head  held  high, stands Charles Stuart,
Bishop Juxon in silent prayer by  his  side.  It is Tuesday the 30th January
1649 and England is about to  lose  another  King... Or maybe you would just
like to know on what day your Aunt Nellie was born.

Delve  into this huge program anywhere from  year 1AD to the present day and
you will find fascinating information about  the  last 2000 years of history
of these islands. Kings and  Queens  who  have  reigned over us; battles and
wars that have been fought for  us;  men  and  women of all nations who have
over the years made an impact on our way of life, actors, authors, painters,
and of course politicians; they are all referred to in The History Machine.

Bouncy the spaceball is lost again, will you help the little chap?

The levels are even bigger and badder than before.  To complete a level you

need to be  pestered, but you will get results in the end.

Every puzzle can be solved with a little bit of cunning and a little bit of
logic.   Speech hold many clues but there are some puzzles which you really
need to think about.  It's quite a challenge.  The whole game is controlled
by  joystick,  the bright graphix  and easy to use interface will appeal to
all age groups. Great fun to play, works on all 1MB Amigas.

because,  some  of  you may well already  have the full version of Beasties.
It  has  been on both the CU Amiga and  Amiga Format magazine CDs as well as

player  only  game  were  each  player controls a tiny  creature  (Beastie),
using  the  mouse  and  keyboard.  CD³² joypads are  also supported and work
very well.

The  aim  of the game is to destroy your mates  Beastie by using a selection
of deadly weapons:

@7        * Explosive Shotgun
@3        * Dynamite
@7        * Club
@3        * Clockwork Mouse
@7        * Lazer
@3        * Come 'ere!
@7        * Dirt Balls

A great game which will keep you playing for hours.

White rabbits is a puzzle game in which you have to rescue a helpless bunny
by guiding him to the exit doors.  You control a small cursor in an attempt
to  lure the rabbit onto the tiles which slide around.  There are 60 levels
divided into 4 groups of 15.

Everything  is done with the joystick, the firebutton is used to click onto
the  tiles.   Some  of  the  tiles will slide around until they hit another
object,  other  tiles are static and clicking on any of these will lure the
rabbit onto them. Highly recommended.

FDG-021 BOUNCY                               1 DISK / £3.95
@5
Bouncy the spaceball is lost in space, poor  thing. Your job is to guide him
through five different areas back  to  his  home  planet. Each area features
five puzzling levels. Some are very  simple,  others  are not. To complete a
level you must have the key that opens the exit. It may sound easy but there
are several obstacles in your path.

The game is controlled by joystick,  it  features a password system, and you
have the choice of two sets  of  backgrounds.  Some of the puzzles are quite
hard so you'll need to get your brain in gear to be able to finish the game.

FDG-020 EUROPEAN MANAGER             1 DISK / £3.95         1MB CHIP RAM
@1
This is a complete update for 1997/98 and takes you into Europe!!
@5
Your team has been chosen for a place in the new European League, but
unfortunately you have been placed in the Third Division. You have £5,000,000
to take your team to the Premier League and challenge Europe`s best.

*New Feature* TACTICS/PLAYING STYLE...This is where you choose your team
              formation. The players positions are indicated by their
              team numbers on the pitch. Selecting any of the six
              formations will change the positions. Try to think of
              tactics that will work, like a 4-4-2, short passing,
              counter attack.

*New Feature* EDITOR...You can load your saved data into the editor & change
              your team name, stadium and the names of the stands.








*New Feature* BALL CONTROL...During the game you will have the chance to
              score for your team if they are playing well. You will see the
              pitch and the opponents goal. At the bottom of the screen an
              icon with a rotating line is shown. This indicates the angle
              the ball will be kicked. Press the mouse button to release the
              ball, choose correctly and you may well score.

This is a well executed and absorbing football management game with loads of
options plus animated game play. For anyone who bought British Manager this
game is a must. Great stuff, highly recommended.

FDG-019 PARASITE II                          1 DISK / £3.95
@1
Brilliant first person perspective RPG -  in  other  words as though you are
`inside' the game world, viewing it through your own eyes - written by Shaun
Watters and featuring graphix by Tim Gilbert of ZSoft.

The year is 4791, you and a friend .... STOP!! That's enough of a storyline,
nobody reads the bloody things anyway.

This is a one or two player roleplaying/shoot'em up/maze game. Basically you
and a buddy, (if in two player mode)  have to wander around a number of maze
complexes, blasting baddies, collecting bags  of  gold,  and then bugger off
home. Simple as that or is  it?  However  easy  it may sound from this brief
description the game is great fun to  play  with plenty of puzzles to solve.
The program can save six separate  positions,  three for one player mode and
three for two player mode, the  computer  will detect the correct save mode.
Well that's it really,  another  great  value  for  money, high quality game
begging to be snapped up and played. Can you clear the base of PaRaSiTeS???




@4
FDG-018 HIDEOUS                              1 DISK / £3.95
@3
This is quite a cruel name to call the game, drawing everyone's attention to
the main characters quite dodgy looks,  after  all  I'm sure that his mother
thinks he's rather cute!!

Well let's see if I can explain the plot, Hideous is a mythical beast, who's
aim in life is to collect diamonds,  weapon  powerups, and then try to reach
the level exit before being killed. Now you  might be saying that it's a bit
of a thin plot and you'd be right,  but Mark Sheeky who wrote the program as
created one hell of a great game  around that slender storyline. The graphix
are superb and feature full parallax scrolling. The range of weapons at your
disposal are selected by using the joystick and keyboard, they consist of:

@7           * Standard Gun
@4           * Webnet
@7           * Smart Bomb
@4           * High Pitched Scream
@7           * Missile










@3
You'll see from the above  list  that  Hideous  is  no ordinary monster, his
"high pitched scream" can  shatter  walls  and  kill  enemies, a very useful
gift. The gameplay is a mixture  of  platform/shoot'em up with 50 levels and
will keep you playing for hours. A selection of cheats are also available in
exchange for large amounts of cash ;)  Hideous  will load and run on any 1MB
Amiga, but an A1200 is highly recommended to produce the best results.

FDG-017 CASINO                               1 DISK / £3.95
@5
You have £10,000 to gamble away at the CASINO. Will you get lucky and make a
million? This is a  great  compilation  with  five  gambling games to choose
from:

@3           Poker, BlackJack, Roulette, Craps or a Fruit Machine.
@5
You can play any game at  anytime.  Which  ever  game you choose, except the
fruit machine, you will initially be  given  the  choice  to bet or quit the
game.

You don't have to be an hardened  cardsharp  or cigar smoking playboy to get
into the games, the interface is easy  to  use  plus full docs and rules are
included on the disk to help you  play.  Winnings from each one of the games
is transferred to a central pot, so pile  up  the cash on your best game and
then you can afford to lose a few  quid whilst working out the best strategy
on one of the others. A high score  table shows the top gamblers and biggest
mugs.

One last thing, paying just £3.95 for  this great collection is one bet that
you can't lose. Great value and great fun.

FDG-015 ROTATOR                              2 DISKS / £4.95
@7
This could just be the  best  arcade  platform/puzzler ever!! Created by Tim
Gilbert  and  Shaun  Watters,  it's  a  feast  of  colour,  superb  graphix,
atmospheric soundFX, and the most  addictive  gameplay you're ever likely to
get your hands on.

The object of the game is to collect all the diamonds on each level and then
get to the exit, each level is  filled  with  traps & puzzles, some of which
seem to be impossible at first to solve.  A steady hand is needed to control
your little craft pass the spikes and  huge  drops. The game comes with many
options to allow you  to  customise  the  sensitivity  of the "rotator", the
amount of bounce, & will even  allow  use  of two button joysticks. A replay
feature is available which  records  your  latest  level  and  allows you to
checkout just where  you  went  wrong  and  regain  control  before disaster
strikes. Rotator is Hard Drive installable and comes with custom installer.


#8              Amiga Format's Game of the Month - July'96



@4
FDG-014 THUNDERDAWN              1 DISK / £3.95          KS2+ & 2MB Chip RAM
@6
ThunderDawn takes the usual elements from  RPG  games  and piles on the dark
fantasy atmospherics. The result is  a  rather tasty full-screen experience.
You're some kind of brave hero-archer type  bloke who's been imprisoned in a
sort of monster-infested maze  by  a  rather  unpleasant  force of somekind.
Ahem. Yeah, and your task is to  escape by collecting a sufficient amount of
Blood  Crystals  from  the  nests   of   a   whole  array  of  bone-rattling
creatures:hydras, phantoms, zombies, genies - you name it, ThunderDawn's got
it.
#8              Amiga Format's Game of the Month - September'96
@6
This game  is  superb!  Unlike  earlier  titles  from  the  BlackDawn series
your animated character can now be  seen  if  you prefer, I got quite lonely
whilst moving around the maze when he  was  switched off ;) The playing area
is huge, dark, full of  strange  sounds, & basically terrifying. ThunderDawn
is best played in an  empty  house  with  the  lights  dimmed, and the sound
turned up. But remember it's just for fun or is it??

The game as a full suite  of  preferences  to  allow  you to choose the best
setup for you and your machine, games  can also be saved/loaded, and it's HD
installable. ThunderDawn does not require the AGA  chip set, but does need a
minimum of 2MB ram and KickStart 2 or above.

@4
FDG-013 OUTLINER                  1 DISK / £3.95           A1200 only
@3
Most of you will remember, with a tear in your eye, the many hours you spent
playing the arcade game  "Asteroids".  You  will  usually  find the machines
still operating and taking plenty of cash to this day. Simple vector graphix
and addictive gameplay still attract the unsuspecting gamer to slip just one
more 10p into the slot.

Introducing  "OutLiner",  the  next  generation  vector  blaster,  small  on
graphix, BIG on gameplay. The program as been developed on a standard A1200,
so hiresolution screens and loads of great soundFX are the order of the day,
sorry but lesser equipped Amigas just  couldn't cope. OutLiner contains many
game styles:

@1           * One player mode.
@4           * One player onslaught.
@1           * Opposition game.
@4           * Two player mode.
@1           * Two player onslaught.
@4           * Space war combat.
@1           * Land war combat.








@3           Plus extra features:

@4           * Craft selection.
@1           * Colour selection.
@4           * Loads custom modules.
@1           * Joystick or mouse control.
@3
This game should be  in  all  gameplayers  collections: fast, addictive, and
great fun. Recommended.

FDG-012 HILT II                      2 DISKS / £4.95
@1
Superb strategy/action game by Mark Sheeky  and Andrew Cashmore. This is the
business, high quality graphix and top notch  gameplay make Hilt II a winner
in anyone's eyes, buy this and you will not be disappointed.

When you start a game of Hilt II, you will play a mission. There are several
different missions in the game, and these can be expanded with extra mission
disks (available soon) to add  to  your  collection. Some missions have hand
drawn maps, some maps are randomly  created, so they're different each time.
This makes for an almost limitless supply of gaming fun. Every mission has a
main objective, which must be achieved to  complete it. There are 6 types of
main objective:-

           1. Kill all of the enemy missions.
           2. Blow something up missions.
           3. Retrieve objects missions.
           4. Get to the exit missions.
           5. 2 Player missions - Kill the other sides units.
           6. Kill all of a certain type of enemy/civilian missions.







Hilt II games are played by one to six characters in one player mode or upto
eight characters in two player mode.  The standard characters are robots but
you may load in whole new character sets from disk. To do this simply select
"New Game" from the options. A new screen will appear listing the campaigns,
missions, and character  files  available  on  the  disk.  Just  click  on a
character file name and the new characters  will be loaded in. Also included
are a set of two player games.  Hilt  II  can  be installed to HDisk or will
run quite happily from floppy  disk  on  any  Amiga. This game is commercial
quality and no mistake.

FDG-011 CONTENTIOUS V2.0              1 DISK / £3.95       2MB Chip RAM
@6
This is a two player ONLY head to  head search and destroy game. The idea is
simple, hunt down your  opponent  and  kill'em!!  The players are controlled
using two  joysticks.  The  game  can  be  configured  by  you  for  optimum
performance, with a selection of start  weapons  and bullet speed. There are
loads of powerups, each with great soundFX.  Choose from the weedy pistol to
the mighty interceptor, which can shoot straight through walls. My favourite
as to be the pump action shotgun.

Contentious also boasts a built-in  level  construction  kit,  so if you get
bored with blasting you can relax  for  a  while, be creative and then blast
your buddy all  over  the  new  custom  level,  great!!  This  game is HDisk
installable and comes with custom installer.

FDG-010 P.L.E.B.S                            1 DISK / £3.95
@5
A super new platformer from David Christian. But what a strange title I hear
you cry!! Well there is an explanation for it in the intro animation, but in
short it means:

*3           P.ersonal L.abour E.liminating B.iomechanoid S*1

The aim on each level is to  activate  all the teleporter computers and then
jump into the beam which will move you to the next level. On some levels the
computers are submerged in  deep  water,  the  only  way  to  get to them is
activate the teleporters in sequence.  The  main  character is very fast and
needs to be if a level is to  be finished safely. Controlled by joystick, he
can kill enemies by jumping on their  heads  or by using his "Zapper" gun to
err, zap'em. There are three worlds each with fifteen levels and ofcause the
big nasty end of level  guardians.  Great  little  game for all ages, simple
idea, but very addictive. Runs on all Amigas and is hard drive installable.

his way home  along  the  dangerous  prehistoric  landscape  in  a desperate
attempt to rescue them. Being  a  caveman,  his  only  means of defence is a
stone axe, so he has to be a  bit  slick in the old jumping department. Some
of the gaps between the platforms are  huge so this cute platformer requires
lots of skill and  stick  tugging  to  complete.  There  are  many things to
collect along the way such as  food,  drink,  time, and bonus coins.  If you
begin to run short of time the  screen gets darker to simulate nightfall. At
first glance this platformer from David  Parsons  looks cute and a tad easy,
but harden games players will still find plenty to keep them occupied.

FDG-006 PARADOX                              1 DISK / £3.95

The game is easy, dead easy, NoOoT!!  Just move your balls around, bang them
together and they disappear, then move onto the next level which is ofcourse
a little harder. This may seem a bit painful and perhaps not too exiting but
STOP, when you realise that  Mr Andrew  Campbell has created the game you'll
know that you're in for  a  treat.  The  presentation is great, the gameplay
funny, and it's very addictive.

The main character is a  green  ball,  don't  panic  he's not cute, he wears
shades and yawns if you're  a  slow  player.  Controlled  by the joystick he
enters the screen via a secret door, your  task is to push pairs of coloured
balls together making them vanish. Various traps and puzzles are set to stop
your progress. Once the screen is cleared  the  exit pops up and away to the
next level you go. There are 100  levels  so  the password system is a boon,
can you get to level 100?

FDG-005 HILT (Against The Hoardes)           1 DISK / £3.95
@5
Most of the game is  set  inside  an  unexplored  dungeon which covers fifty
levels. Each time the game is loaded  fifty new levels are created so you'll
never get bored. You can collect  treasure,  fight monsters, or just explore
to try and reach the bottom level. The  game as been written by the creators
of "TaskForce", Mark Sheeky/Andrew  Cashmore,  and  uses  the same method of
control. First each friendly player will move and then each of the monsters,
during a turn you may cast spells,  pick-up  and drop objects. Gold can also
be collected and used  for  buying  weapons  etc..  This  game will keep you
playing for hours and even give the old grey matter a work out.

@3
Guide a cute little yellow character called   Spud, along a path of tiles to
the exit, easy I hear you cry, but  you'd be WRONG!! The idea is to progress
from level to level by jumping on and  then  off each tile. All of the tiles
must have disappeared before moving to the next and harder level. Of course,
there are tiles that need more than one  jump to dissolve them and some will
teleport you across the screen. To  help  you  on your way free bridge-tiles
are included, but don't get too  excited,  there's  only three per Spud. The
action is all set against the  clock.  A  password  is given at the start of
each level, which can be used on starting up.

Jump'em is an extremely  polished  game  which  contains some arcade quality
graphics, it's fast, playable,  and  addictive.  Well  received in all Amiga
mags, with scores upto 85%.

You are the Antmaster.  Your  mission  is  to  give  doom  or deliverance to
hundreds of tiny dot like creatures, ANTS. On each level you must guide your
little chums to their death in order  to  kill  the enemy. Along the way are
other hazards to hinder your progress:

A careful balance must be  made  between  attack  and  feeding to ensure you
survive each level, only a small amount  of food is supplied, once eaten the
colony cannot breed,  (shame).  Includes  5  difficulty  levels and password
level select.

@3
This is one of  the  thirteen  "winners"  of  the  recent  Amiga Format Amos
competition. It's a great rewrite  of  the  classic sliding puzzle game. You
are given random pieces of a picture  and  your  task is to assemble them in
the correct order. The blocks are controlled  by the joystick and will slide
until they hit another block  or  the  sides  of  the  playing area, all set
against the clock this is a very addictive game. There are certain hazardous
blocks  which  hinder  your  progress:  cracked  blocks,  time  blocks,  and
exploding blocks. The skill level  can  be  adjusted between "very easy" and
"headache!". Blox is hard  drive  installable.  The  game  includes 20 great
levels with many more being released as PD, these include:

@1           * LionKing Levels
           * Faces Levels
           * Glamour Levels (over 18's only)

It's back!!  Some said it would never be produced again, but 5DL as secured
an  exclusive  deal  with  Dark Portal's creator Andy Campbell to bring you
this  massive  collection of Horror/Shocker stories from the very depths of
the human imagination.

Our  website  on  the Internet features a "Magnetic Fiction" section and is
proving  very  popular  with  many users and is fequently visited by horror
magazine  editors  hungry  for  the superb quality stories available there.
Some  of  Andy's  stories can now be seen in print, featured in horror mags
world wide.

Dark Portal IV features 21 stories, all created for this project and viewed
using an easy to use custom interface. The short stories range from spooky,
though weird, to darn right spine tinglers. I think that you'll get an idea
of the type of subjects to expect if I tell you a few of the story titles:






@4* Legal Genocide
* The Kiss
* The Giant Trees Win
* Holding the Cane
* Breakdown

Some  stories  in  Dark  Portal  may contain explicit language and describe
unusual  scenes.   Please  do  not  order this disk if you think you may be
offended  or frightened by it's contents.  Although 5DL are very particular
about  taking  on  anything  offensive we feel that the use of language and
sexual   depiction  contained  in  Dark  Portal  are  not  exploitative  or
gratuitous.   Dark  Portal  contains  nothing  more  than  you  can read in
off-the-shelf books from W.H.Smiths®.

FDU-009 REALITY M&S CONVERTER     1 DISK / £3.95           KS2.+ 2MB
@1
The  Reality  Music and Sample Converter is a great new program designed to
allow REALITY programmers to use almost any music module they like in their
titles.   You  could compose your own music on a tracker such as Octamed or
use the thousands of PD modules available and convert them into the special
format  which  is used in the Reality Game Engine, from B.P.M.  PROMOTIONS.
But  it doesn't stop there, you can also load in single samples and convert
them to a sample bank format which the Reality Game Engine also uses.

* MOD formats        - OctaMed, Soundtracker, Noisetracker and Protracker.
* Sample formats     - SPL, IFF, RAW and 8SUX.

* Convert module to  - .MUS Format.
* Convert sample to  - .SAM Format.

The  program  is  very easy to use and as been developed by Dean Wood, with
support  from  B.P.M., this gives the utility a look and feel which REALITY
users  will  recognise  immediately.  Reality M&S Converter is an essential
add-on for any programmer wanting to give their work that personal touch.

The  feedback  from  users  who have bought (FDU-004) Disk-System 3 as been
very  good and so Dave Kirk the system's creator as come up with this great
update disk.

#5You need the original Disk-System 3 for this to work.@3

This disk will easily updated the program to version 3.1, here is a list of
the new features and amendments:

* System Editor now multitasks. Use L-AMIGA + A to flip between the editor
  and Workbench.

* Due to popular demand, the requesters within the editor can be dragged up
  and down the screen, and so no longer obscure any text.

* Certain requesters did not cause the background screen to dim (as it does
  in most cases).  Fixed.

* Minor bug fixes.








* DiskID.BIN file is no longer necessary.

* DiskSystem DMS archive updated to v3.1.

The disk also contains articles, tips, and ideas which are intended to give
you  an  insight  into  how  Disk-System  3 works, allowing you to get more
professional  results from the program.  A selection of compatible fonts is
included  on the disk.  A very useful addition to the original disk and one
which all users will enjoy.

FDU-006 AGASSM v7.24                         1 DISK / £3.95
@5
AGASSM or AGA SlideShow Maker and its player (AGASSP) both require OS2.  or
above  to  operate.   It  is  a quick, easy to operate, and system friendly
slideshow creation utility.

AGASSM  has a few tricks up its sleeve, so that you can produce some rather
striking  slideshows while still having all the advantages of OS3.0 such as
ARexx.   AGASSM  is  able  to  display  IFF-pictures,  play  IFF-animations
(Anim5),  music  modules (MED (MMD0 format) & ST), IFF-samples, and execute
ARexx  commands  +  scripts  as standard.  AGASSM can utilise other peoples
viewers  and players to display or play file formats that are not built-in.
For  instance,  it  can  cope  with  MED-Modules up to MMD0 but cannot play
8-track  MED-Modules  as  standard.  This however is not a problem as Teijo
Kinnunens  'OctaMEDPlayer'  has an ARexx port so, you can launch the player
and load and play an eight channel module all from AGASSM.
