- This version of !DuckHunt is public domain - you can copy and distribute it
- freely, via any media, as long as:

-
- Credit is due to Stuart Payne, the author of the original !DeskDuck. Thanks

- =============================================================================
-
- Don't forget to look out for my other PD software, currently:
-
- !BackGrd - a sticky backdrop program that doesn't crash all the time!
- (unlike one I could mention!) Supports multiple backdrop states for
- different purposes, multiple drags to the backdrop from Filer windows,
- replacing dull grey background with a sprite, works in any Mode etc... (nb.
- this is ShareWare - the best version is available for £5 from me, or enter
- the above competition!)
-
- StickyConv - converts the saved state of the PD program !StickyBD into a
- backdrop file suitable for use with !BackGrd (any version).
-
- !WordSqure - solves wordsquare puzzles. Just type in the wordsquare (the
- boring bit), then just type in each word and the Arc will find it in just a
- couple of seconds! (I guarantee, unless the puzzle is VERY easy, it's still
- easier to type it into the Arc than solve it by hand. Wordsquares can be
- saved to disc for later use, if necessary).
-
- !Pypes - a game of strategy and quick thinking. Try to contain the gunge
- that flows from an outlet on the tiled board by placing pipes on the grid
- for it to flow through. A mouse controlled version of the classic game. Now
- extra graphics and almost instantaneous response to the mouse add even more
- to this highly acclaimed PD game.
-
- !IconClk3d - a digital clock that sits on the icon bar. It uses a
- custom-designed 3D font and looks superb.
-
- !SpaceBall - A good, old-fashioned 'knock the bricks out of the wall' game,
- brought right up to date for the Archimedes! I haven't finished it yet so I
- can't give a full list of features, but it already has: Sampled sound
- effects (digitised by me especially for this game), scrolling messages,
- multiple (different!) walls, indestructible bricks, hard bricks, atmospheric
- graphics and double-buffered screens for perfect animation. (Well, I like
- it).
-
-
- You should be able to get all of the above programs from the PD libraries.
- If not, send me a disc of PD and an SAE and I'll copy any of those programs
- you want onto it and send it back. (Sorry I can't be more helpful than that
- - I'm not a PD library and can't afford to send out discs for free!)
-
- Send money, discs and so on to:
