                      ^6[3FLOWER POWER. by SPARX.[0

^1 This is a sideways scrolling game aimed at younger gameplayers, and
^1is number 1 in what will hopefully be a `Just for Fun' series.
^1 You are a gardener and your aim is to grow flowers for the local
^1flower show. You have to dig the earth, plant the seeds, water the
^1growing plants, pick the blooms and take them back to the house. At
^1the same time you must scare away the nasty bugs that are trying to
^1eat them. Complete ten levels to get to the flower show.

                      ^6[3BUDBASE by JOHN BRAIN.[0

^1 Here we have a database written with [2AMOS[0 aimed at people who have
^1had little or no experience of databases. Full instructions and a
^1tutorial are included on the disk. Can be used with 1/2 meg.

                      ^6[3BIG TOP FUN. by SPARX.[0

^1 This disk contains four educational prorams based on a circus theme.
^1This disk is called `Words & Pictures' and a version featuring number
^1games is set to follow.
^1 Word Balance is for younger children, you must match a picture to a
^1word so that the juggler balances on his unicycle.
^1 Matchplay is a game of pairs, turn the cards to match pictures with
^1pictures, words with pictures, words with words.
^1 Sealagrams is for older kids who can read. A clown throws lettered
^1balls onto the noses of the seals, you have to switch them to form
^1the correct word.
^1 Balloon Burst is again for readers, you are shown a picture, and you
^1must shoot the balloons that have the letters which make up the word.

                         ^6[1Graphics by Colin White.[0

^1 This is an illustrated text adventure for children (and adults). It
^1is set on the island of Nursree where all the Nursery Rhymes have
^1been muddled up. It is up to you to travel around the island sorting
^1everything out.
^1 There are many locations to visit, people to talk to and things to
^1get. You will meet many favourite nursery rhyme characters along the
^1way, some who are more helpful to you than others.
^1 To complete the adventure, you must complete all the puzzles to gain
^1100% score.[2 (For more, read about[3 SHYMER[2 in the[3 REVIEWS SECTION.[2)[0

       ^6[3AMOS CLI PRINTER DUMP ROUTINE & DEMO by DERECK RELL.[0

^1 This what every printer owning[2 AMOS[0 person has been looking for!! If
^1you've been wanting to print out from[2 AMOS,[0 now you can. The routine
^1can be included in your own programs, as long as you've bought an
^1official copy from[2 AMOS P.D.[0 or authorised distributor,  but you
^1[3MUST CREDIT THE AUTHOR,[0 he deserves it!!
^1 As we are not printer owners at present, we do not have first hand
^1experience of its use, but we are told that it is very good.

                            ^6[2L.P.D. 32.[0

          ^6[3HARD DRIVE MENU SYSTEM by DIGITAL APPLICATIONS.[0

^1 Again we're afraid that this program cannot be described from personal
^1experience. We are told that it will be very useful to hard drive
^1owners to create their hard drive menus. It can handle over 3800
^1titles, so sounds worth checking out.

                            ^6[2L.P.D. 33.[0

                   ^6[3AMOS C.A.T. by PHILIP RICHMOND.[0

^1 C.A.T stands for Creative Adventure Toolkit. As you might guess it
^1allows you to create your own adventures, including graphics and
^1sounds. The created adventure will be a stand alone program which
^1will auto run and is compilable.
^1 You will need to be able to program with[2 AMOS[0 to use this, but it
^1has been very well done. Due to the complexity of the idea, it has
^1taken a long time to produce and I should imagine, even longer to
^1test.
^1 There is an excellent docs file on the disk which covers everything
^1you need to know to write an adventure. It's a must if you've an
^1adventure inside you waiting to be written, but you don't know where
^1to start.

                   ^6[3INVOICE PRINTER by JOHN DUDLEY.[0

^1 This program is for the business people among you who would like to
^1create customised invoice forms to send to customers. As the lack of
^1printer prevents us seeing it in full, there is not much we can tell
^1you. As well as design, it calculates the amount due for the items on
^1the invoice. (now have printer, but no driver!)

                    ^6[3T.TECHDRAW by TREVOR TAYLOR.[0

^1 This is, as the name suggests, a tech drawing package to keep all
^1you budding draughtsmen happy. You scroll around a magnified screen
^1using the cursor keys, to read the keyboard commands. The program's
^1main controls are via pull down menus, and there seems to be
^1everything needed to produce a good output, and on screen help is
^1available to get you going.

                            ^6[3FRACGEN II.[0
                    ^6[3by GARY SHILVOCK & M. NORMAN.[0

^1 There are many FRACtal GENerating methods on this disk which are
^1chosen via a program selector. If you'd like to see examples of this
^1program's output, checkout the FRACGEN II demo disk (A.P.D. 274). The
^1demo disk contains fine examples of FRACGEN II, and could be used as
^1a guide to what sort of fractal patterns the different options make.
^1There is plenty of information available via the selector menu and
^1also inside the generator programs themselves. The screens can be
^1saved as IFF. files for later use.

                   ^6[3 GALLEONS by AARON FOTHERGILL.[0

^1 Fun on the ocean waves in the latest game from Shadowsoft. After
^1watching some mini cartoons, or not if you choose, you select your
^1player-captain and sail off in your fully rigged sailing ship to do
^1battle on the high seas.

                       ^6[3ROCKET MATHS by DELWYN FARR.[0

^1 This is the long awaited new release from the owner of[2 THE WORD
^1FACTORY.[0 This maths program offers 3 levels of ability to suit a
^1wide age range.
^1 There are four sections in each `game'. e.g. to get the rocket to
^1take off, you must get 10 sums correct, you get through the starfield
^1by answering 10 more. It's a novel approach to doing sums.
^1 The graphics are very pleasing and should appeal to most kids.

                       ^6[3AMOS ART by SHOCKWAVE.[0

^1 Have you ever wondered how much better your games would look if you
^1could get your mouse on some decent graphics?  Well, this is the one
^1for you to look at!
^1 This disk contains sprites, tiles etc along with a collection of
^1fonts for you to use. Please note that this is a Licenseware disk and
^1you must abide by the legal requirements set out on the disk.

                   ^6[3MAGIC FOREST II. (Son of Wilf)[0
                        ^6[3by AARON FOTHERGILL.[0

^1 Cast your mind back to the days when[2 AMOS[0 was young....... remember
^1Magic Forest? This is the follow up, this one is done with TOME and
^1scrolls through the forest as you set out on your quest.
^1 Wilf the forest keeper has retired, so his son Wilfred is left to
^1gather the apples and keep the forest tidy. He is off to meet the
^1lovely Wilhemina, but she is hiding from the red nasties who are in
^1the forest. Wilfred must kill all the nasties and gather the apples
^1to rescue his girlfriend.
^1 The game is joystick controlled and has full instructions in the
^1program.

                            ^6[2L.P.D. 40.[0

                     ^6[3S.B.E. by The Blitter Boys.[0

^1 This is a very new and what looks like a very worthwhile addition to
^1any[2 AMOS[0 programmer's library.
^1 To quote fom the mini manual supplied.......
^1 `With the[3 Sprite Bank Editor[0 you can browse through your sprites and
^1pull out just the one you need for your new masterpiece. Version 2 is
^1easy to use, powerfull and flexible.'
^1  The instructions are clearly set out and very well pesented. The
^1disk also contains some sprites, but please observe the terms of use
^1set out in the instructions.

                        ^6[3RESCUE by P. Ramsell[0

^1 As you might know, Déjà Vu Licensed Software now includes programs
^1written in all languages. This one was created using the 3-D
^1Construction Kit from Incentive Software.
^1 This magazine is really just for Amos programs, but this one is
^1worth a mention!
^1 The aim is to rescue the President who is being held to ransom. You
^1have to get around the town finding clues and money before freeing
^1the President.

                    ^6[3CROSS STITCH By Jeff Tullin.[0

^1 At last, a program aimed at female Amiga users!! Athough I don't
^1think that Cross Stitch embroidery is exclusively for females.
^1 Jeff lets you load in an IFF picture, select any part of it, even
^1change the colours, then print out a pattern!
^1 The pattern is printed with each colour represented by a different
^1symbol which is also printed at the bottom of the pattern so that you
^1can write in your colour key.
^1 It would also work for intarsia knitting pattterns, (picture
^1knitting) as this needs a chart to work on. I'll try this out and see
^1what happens, and let you know in the next issue. (Anne speaking
^1here!)
^1 It worked on our printer, Cannon BJ-10e without the proper driver
^1program, so there shouldn't be any problems for other printers.

                             [2^6L.P.D. 46.[0

                       [3^6CLIPART by The Magpie.[0

^1 This disk contains just over 300 pieces of clipart stored on IFF
^1files. This Clipart is ALL NEW and has been put together especially
^1for Déjà Vu Software. The disk is bootable and is complete with a
^1picture viewer.
