Game Covers - Arkanoid (Commodore 64)

The era and time of this story is unknown.  After the mothership "Arkanoid" was destroyed, a spacecraft "Vaus" scrambled away, only to be trapped in the void...

You control the Vaus and have to penetrate 32 levels and then confront the "Dimension Changer" whom you must destroy in order to reverse time and resurrect the "Arkanoid".  Frantic action and split-second timing combine to produce the most addictive and compulsive game.

Game Covers - Air-Sea War/Battle (Philips G7000)

Air-Sea War

You will need timing and accuracy for this game as you shoot down the enemy craft while dodging its missiles. Score a point for each direct hit on your opponent's craft, and deduct one if you hit a neutral ship.  You have 3 minutes to play.  When the game is over (time = 00:00) the player with the most points wins.

Battle

Battle demands great skill in handling the controls of the tank, especially when turning and firing.  You have 20 rounds.  Score a point for each direct hit.  There are 3 minutes to play : when game is over (time = 00:00 or both players out of ammunition), the player with the most points wins.  Variations of this game are given by : guided missiles (controlled by joystick), minefield (mines marked by a white cross) - your opponent gains a point each mine you hit, and hilly terrain (you cannot fire or move through the barriers).

Game Covers - 3D Construction Kit 2 (Commodore Amiga)

This product is an amazing leap forward in software technology.  It brings you the most powerful and impressive utility for your computer - but is really easy and fun to use.

After a further 18 months of research, using new proprietary techniques, the award winning Incentive team have developed the follow up to the original 3D Construction Kit.

With a host of new features, 3D Construction Kit 2.0 is truly at the leading edge of Virtual Reality.  The inclusion of a data disk full of pre-designed items and scenes means you no longer have to create all your own 3D objects from scratch.  Simply look in the special colour catalogue, choose the object you want and bring it into your environment.  There are cars, houses, boats, trees, furniture - all you need to form the basis of a virtual world.

Just imagine.  You can design your own dream house, then drive or fly around it, making changes - colour, shading, shape, detail, layouts, sounds, animations - anything you want.

When you know what Virtual Reality is all about, you can really let your imagination take you into a different world!

Game Covers - 3D Construction Kit (Commodore 64)

This box contains one excellent reason for you to own a home computer.

It holds a piece of software that has been developed by the award-winning INCENTIVE team, who for the last four years have produced hit after hit with their amazing FREESCAPE 3D graphics systems.

Now that unique system is available for you to "play around with".  It's been designed for easy use - mouse/icon driven controls that require no programming skills at all.

You can design a car, house, aeroplane (or whatever you want!) and then walk around it.  See what it looks like from any angle.  Change it.  Add colour, detail, animation.  The possibilities are endless.

And it's ideal for creating games.  If you're not artistic, don't worry - there are lots of objects already included in the kid for you to use in your plans, but it's simple to create your own if you want.

So, if you enjoy playing games, but want to use your computer's real capabilities for a change, this is a perfect opportunity.

VIRTUAL REALITY - you've heard about it, read about it, and now it's here at your fingertips.
