4Arya is a text adventure like any other but it also has pictures
4and interactive graphical puzzles. You as the player decide what to
4do and when to do it. The level of difficulty is not very high, to
4start with it  is really quite easy. The Dragon’s Quest is
4shareware.
4Skullsoft. v1.02.

4Michael A. Smith.

4A computer version of a One Armed Bandit. Saves you from losing
4all your own cash.
4Andrew Ayre. v1.00

1{HBatDroid}{JCDFS::PDCD_5.$.Games.BatDroid}

4A great game with great graphics.
4D Birch. v1.20

1{HBlup}{JCDFS::PDCD_5.$.Games.Blup}
4A polished and interesting game that involves the players, your
4opponent can be human or your Archimedes, clicking on ray traced
4spheres that change colour in a set sequence.  The spheres’
4neighbours also change colour.  The idea is to get as many
4spheres as possible to your colour.
4Andrew Ayre.  v.1.10.

1{HBofW}{JCDFS::PDCD_5.$.Games.BofW}
4For all you owners of 4th Dimension's Birds of War flight sim, here

4quality edition that 4D produced with the game back in late 1993.

1{HBombs}{JCDFS::PDCD_5.$.Games.Bombs}
4This is an isometric-3D puzzle game featuring a lot of explosions.
4The object of the game is to blow up all the bombs on a level. The
4problem is that you are very much prone to explode yourself.  So you
4have to solve each level by finding out the correct sequence in
4which to explode the bombs that will allow you to live and proceed
4to the next level.  EXCELLENT!!
4Steven Kramer. v1.00.

1{HBombz}{JCDFS::PDCD_5.$.Games.Bombz}
4This is in my opinion one of the best PD games to come my way in
4a long time.  The graphics are superb; the game play is smooth and
4the puzzles are easy enough to complete yet hard enough to make
4you think!!  Your task is quite simple.  Get rid of all the bombs on
4each level then escape off the edge of the screen. To blow up a
4bomb, push it to where you want to cause an explosion, then collect
4a detonator and touch the bomb again and quickly get out of the way.
4This version contains 42 levels plus a level designer.
4Tony Houghton.

1{HChain}{JCDFS::PDCD_5.$.Games.Chain}
4This is a brilliant game.  It’s played on an 8x8 grid with up
4to four players. Each square can carry a set number of people
4before it reaches its critical mass.  It then explodes and the
4chain reaction starts.  The idea is to be the only player left.
4You will have lots of fun with this one. It’s also very nicely
4presented.
4Steve Bosman.

1{HCheckers}{JCDFS::PDCD_5.$.Games.Checkers}

1{HCoreWars}{JCDFS::PDCD_5.$.Games.CoreWars}
4Core Wars is a game played by two programs in a computer called
4“MARS”. The programs are written in an assembly language called
4“REDCODE”. It is based on an article by a. K. Dewdney that appears
4in the May, 1984 SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN. The object of the game is to
4cause the opposing player to terminate abnormally.
4The archimedes version of Core wars was written by Matthew Farrow.

4256 colour mode 13.  It incorporates large, colourful graphics which

4The object of the game is to guide your character through many
4levels to collect all the apples.  Once all the apples on one level
4have been eaten, you will be allowed to progress to the next level.
4Unfortunately, all is not as easy as it sounds.  On each level there
4are monsters which are dead set against you achieving this goal.
4Carl Shaw.

1{HDinoSaw}{JCDFS::PDCD_5.$.Games.DinoSaw}
4Yet another fantastic PD game from the games master Tom Cooper.
4A simple everyday story of a caveman and his chain saw! It’s a
4prehistoric platformer... either jump over nasty things or hack
4‘em to death with yer chainsaw. You can tell when yer hurting
4something cos it bleeds! Nice huh? (Tom’s description).  The
4graphics and animation are up to Toms extremely high standard
4and he does code a lot of commercial games.

1{HFirebolt}{JCDFS::PDCD_5.$.Games.Firebolt}
4This is a game for 1, 2, 3 or 4 players simultaneously with 10
4levels.  The idea is easy drop a bomb and run away.  Most of the
4time you are your own worst enemy.  After you blow away all the rock
4from a red 'thing' it'll turn green.  It stays green from then till
4the end of the level.  Turn 'em all green and the level's done.
4Iain Waugh.

4You and a friend must bravely fly your spaceship out into the
4unknown and destroy loads of hapless aliens. The fun comes when you
4and your friend argue about the reason you missed shooting the last
4alien. Banking at the wrong moment, bog-eyed shooting, and crashing
4into scenery and bullets are all very annoying, and clearly the
4other guy's fault!  Still unfinished but fun all the same!!
4Surely the definitive Acorn Freeware scramble game.
4Paul G Hallam.  v0.83

1{HHangman}{JCDFS::PDCD_5.$.Games.Hangman}

4Tom Cooper.

1{HLobster}{JCDFS::PDCD_5.$.Games.Lobster}
4Lobster Fishing is a game for people of all ages (although it is
4primarily aimed at 10-12 year olds).  It teaches children about
4risk, investment, the principles of stocks and shares, running a
4business, and provides pracitise for simple maths problems in a
4bright and fun way.  It is ideal for covering the "simulations"
4sections in the National Curriculm IT syllabus.  The program is

1{HPushyII}{JCDFS::PDCD_5.$.Games.PushyII}
4This is it.  Every now and again you come across a game that looks
4good, plays good and makes the grey matter work a little harder than
4normal.  This is one of those puzzle type games.  You are missing
4out if you ignore the double stars above.  GET THIS NOW. All you
4have to do is push a few boxes.

1{HRail28}{JCDFS::PDCD_5.$.Games.Rail28}
4!Rail is a combination of game and simulation, where you are an
4assistent in the traffic control room of a railwaystation.  Your
4goal is to let trains arrive on the platforms as given and direct
4the trains to their correct locations or exits.
4The is superb and highly recommended.  Requires a Mode 28.
4!RailEd is also supplied in this archive, so users can design/edit
4their own maps to be played with !Rail28.  At first sight creating a
4map may look easy and straightforward. However, there comes more to
4it: defining entrypoints, stations and platforms.  Many of the data
4are interlinked, so editing one part of the data may have
4consequences for other parts.
4 The advised sequence, when creating a map, is therefore:
4 1 - First create all the tracks, points, signals, platforms etc.
4 2 - Secondly put in the entry-points and define them.
4 3 - Thirdly mark the station/depot-areas and define them.
4Although Entry's and Stations may be edited, this has to be done
4carefully.
4Jos Keijzers. Rail28 is verion 6.

1{HRisk}{JCDFS::PDCD_5.$.Games.Risk}

4of tiles to be varied and has three difficulty levels.
4Michael A. Smith.  Shareware.

1{HSpots}{JCDFS::PDCD_5.$.Games.Spots}
4The aim of the game is to get as many SPOTS (=Smilies) as possible.
4There are two possibilities to moves:
4a) Choose one of your SPOTS (by using the mouse) and move within a
4range of one square (all directions possible). You will get one new
4SPOT and the old one will stay on its position.
4b) Choose one of your SPOTS and move within a range of two squares
4in any direction. The old one will move to the new square. In this
4way it is possible to move within a range of two squares, but you
4won’t win a further SPOT. At the end of the move all the neighbour
4SPOTS will change into your colour (all directions, too).
4The game will end, if all squares are filled up with SPOTS.
4Patrick Hinrichs. Shareware.

1{HSuperFE}{JCDFS::PDCD_5.$.Games.SuperFE}

4gameplay and graphics.

1{HSwarm}{JCDFS::PDCD_5.$.Games.Swarm}
4Way back in 1987, Broderbund Software released a game called Crystal
4Quest which was rather fun to play.  Nearly ten years later, there's
4a new version called Swarm. Written in about eight months for RISC
4OS, it's a little flashier than the black+white Mac version I played
4:-) You'll find parallax backdrops, particles flying everywhere,
4smoother animation, bonuses and a few other hidden features. I'd say
4that Swarm is a little bit tougher than Crystal Quest, but you'll
4find more bonuses available in Swarm.
4Matthew Bloch. v1.03.

1{HTangle}{JCDFS::PDCD_5.$.Games.Tangle}

4Your purpose in this game is to wipe out all objects which are
4displayed on  the scanner to the bottom left of the control
4panel. Your targets are of several types, most objects are not
4terribly dangerous but some do fire back!  Fully mouse
4controlled and great fun to play.
4Tom Cooper and Baz Clarkson.  v 1.05.

4centre of the screen, consisting of tiles. At the top-left you
4will see a timer. When the  game is in progress, the timer will
4be running.  Underneath one of the tiles is a yellow coin. You
4have to find it, quickly.  The trouble is you could just as
4easily get blown to bits.
4Andrew Ayre.  v1.10.

1{HTrek}{JCDFS::PDCD_5.$.Games.Trek}
4A very good version of the old favourite, Star Trek.
4T.E.Kennington and Alex Hopkins. v G1.3.

1{HTricky}{JCDFS::PDCD_5.$.Games.Tricky}
4This game involved an amazing (a maze, get it? sic!) shifting maze,
4and numerous very expensive goodies to be collected (you know, the
4kind of things you get in crackers!).  The graphics and game play
4are superb and I hope to get much more software from this talented
4programmer.
