Game Covers - The Trap Door (Commodore 64)

Somewhere in the dark and nasty regions where nobody goes, stands an old and spooky castle-home of the Bad Tempered Thing. In the dark lower regions of the castle, Berk grudgingly slaves away carrying out the orders of the Thing. To win his ultimate reward - a safe full of loot - Berk has to complete up to five bizarre tasks (four in Learner mode) quickly and accurately before the Thing's anger boils over. Each task is completed when Berk sends his offering Upstairs on the dumb waiter and the Thing accepts it.

Game Covers - Biggles (Commodore 64)

DO YOU WANT TO BE A HERO?

Biggles is a two-game program following the adventures of the famous World War I hero created by W E Johns.  But there's a difference - our hero now has a time twin living in the 1980's, and there's a mysterious link between their lives.

The first game, TIMEWARP, is in three parts.  You (Biggles) mist locate the deadly new German weapon and photograph it, find its test site, then escape from the police in modern-day London with the secret code.

The second game, THE SOUND WEAPON, finds you at the controls of a police helicopter - on the Western Front in 1917!  You must make strategic use of your friends and equipment to make the final assault on the weapon.

With Biggles, you CAN be a hero!

Game Covers - Test Drive (Commodore 64)

TEST DRIVE:  DRIVE FIVE OF THE WORLD'S MOST EXOTIC CARS!

The Lamborghini Countach looks fast standing still. But before you attempt to break the land speed record, it might be wise to get a handle on what you're in for. Test Drive provides you with a detailed "spec chart" on each of the five cars, listing their vital statistics. Please note that this road shark has a top speed of 173 mph. (Gulp) Maybe you'd like to start off a bit slower.

Watch the road signs zip past your windshield. Test Drive's fluid animation fills you with a thrilling rush of speed. Feast your eyes on the 911's dashboard. Test Drive's graphics are so true-to-life you'll swear you can smell the leather interior. Push the 911 into the turn. Feel it suck the road like a vacuum. Your radar detector is clean... but check the speedometer. The fuzz ain't friendly in these parts.

How about the Porsche 911 Turbo? Sure, it's quick (zero to 60 in five seconds flat) but it forged its reputation with precise response and handling. After reviewing the specs, it's time to get down to business. Fire up the 911 and push it to the limit on any of Test Drive's challenging road scenarios. For example, if you'd like to find out if the 911's handling is all that it's cracked up to be, select a winding mountain road.
