- Multi-User Games
-
- If you're into running multi-user games, try the
- newest gaming addition to the A2 Software Library,
- The Complex II in File 22574. This large archive
- (a hard drive or big ram disk is required)
- contains a multi-user online gaming system hosted
- on a IIgs. Included with the archive are terminal
- programs for the IIe, IIgs, and Macintosh that
- support cool sound and graphics. Other emulations
- may access the host program, but special graphics
- and sound for other platforms are not supported.
- This 1.2MB file contains everything a sysop needs
- to get started!

- Other Recommended Files
-
- Many other fine games are available in the A2
- Library. Examples include SPACE.ARROW.BXY (File
- 19076), an update of the popular one or two player
- space battle game with built-in Artificial
- Intelligence to make things interesting. If you get
- your kicks from martial arts, check out SENSEI.BXY
- (File 17890), a full-fledged Karate game.
-
- While many of the newest games are for the IIgs,
- owners of 8-bit Apples should not despair; we have
- plenty of games for you, too.
-
- A2's Lost Classics program has rescued Bill Budge's
- classic pinball game, Raster Blaster (File 21131
- RASTER.BLAST.BXY), which has been updated to run
- under ProDOS 8 and even on the Apple IIgs from your
- hard drive. Lost Classics also rescued Budge's
- Tranquility Base (File 21128). And while you're
- reminiscing, check out BEST.GAMES.BXY (File 17356),
- an entire 800K disk of 8-bit games.
