Some disks in this section are in ST format and run using the emulator. These are marked with a "*" and any special loading instructions listed. Text, graphic and text/graphics adventures PD 190: ADVSYS plus an extended version of Colossal Adventure PD 191: Castle of Doom - text and graphics PD 192: The Golden Fleece - text PD 193: The Holy Grail - text, needs 1 meg PD 275: Midnight Thief - text or text/graphics adventure by Dylan Thomas. 1 meg. Runs perfectly on A500+/A600 using PD 510 PD 429: Catacomb - icon-driven, graphical adventure (NOT A1200) PD 508: Thrallbound - text/graphics PD 509: A Night at the Top - text PD 564: 6 Amigabasic adventures - Atlantis, Grungy Towers, Jedi, Ring World, Safari and Star Trek. Rather small and simplistic, no documentation. Comes with the needed Amigabasic interpreter. Plus World - V1.00 - Simple but neat adventure in the vein of "Colossal", but with more of a sci-fi theme. Has a small document. All text. PD 565: Zut Alors! - V2.00 - Excellent, very funny farce set in "musketeer"-era France. Written with "Hatrack II adventure generator" in a French accent! Optional mouse control and great documentation. Plus Life After Death - V1.1 - Interesting adventure, written in AMOS, with good documentation. There is a disturbance in the afterlife which can only be investigated when you're dead! You can skip between 2 characters. Both text. PD 566: Dark Staff - This is actually an emulated Spectrum 128K game, emulator obviously included along with full instructions. Not bad, considering the rather slow speed. (Definitely PD by the way). Plus Jungle Quest - A T.A.C.L. game, which includes the PADV system itself and all the game source-files. It's really only a glorified demo, but quite playable. A small doc is included. Both text/graphics. PD 578: Frustration - V920420/11.49/001 - Jim MacBrayne's latest, fully documented of course. Aunt Maude's shopping-list has flown away; chasing it, you fall down a strange hole. Text. PD 580: Rolta (Return of the living Text Adventure) - V1.0B - This 2-disk set is a cut-down version of a shareware game, lacking one of the graphics disks and the SAVE/LOAD facility. However, only 10 locations can be visited and the game can be completed in 30 moves once you know what to do. Beautiful graphics, great text, optional mouse-control, amazing menu-items like the 'about' box showing digitized photos of the authors.... 2 disks, only œ2.50 (A1200 OK) PD 585: TALISMAN - ** REQUIRES 2 Mb. OF MEMORY ! ** - Another brilliant 2-disk set, this time a full game! Though it has the look of a normal adventure, the game is controlled by mouse only. Monochrome graphics (like digitized pencil-drawings - superb quality) accompany most locations - these are all loaded into RAM first, resulting in an extremely fast game. Get it! 2 disks, œ3.50 PD 625: Storyland 2 - a point and click adventure for children. PD 626: Starbase 13 - a point and click graphics adventure, written with AMOS. 2 disks, œ3.50 PD 653: Atlantis - Colourful, graphical game written in AmigaBasic. Set in Atlantis, lots of combat - the usual. Fans of the of the plan-view, slow, mouse-run genre will like it. Translated document. PD 654: Box plus Maths Adventure - Box, written in AMOS, is the second (and much better) text adventure by the author of LIFE AFTER DEATH. You play Doran, who undertakes the Quest For Residence, the aim of which is to become a God. Maths Adventure is a neat puzzle-style game based on solving simple equations. Both okay on A1200. PD 656: Exorcism - An interesting text/graphics adventure, in that it's the first example of a game written with the C.A.G. writing system I've seen. The action takes place in an old, abandoned house. 2 disk set œ3.50. PD 657: Mystery 2144 AD - Another interesting game, mostly due to the fact that it's written with Microdeal's TALESPIN. PD 658: Neighbours - Yes, Neighbours, the TV-show, in a grapical mouse-driven adventure featuring sampled images from the telly! 2 disk set œ3.50. PD 725: Battle Force and Island of Nephoton - Battle Force is a text adventure with a few samples thrown in, written with AMOS. Island of Nephoton is also a text adventure which runs in a CLI window. OK on A1200. PD 733: Mugsy's Revenge - Amiga version of the Spectrum "classic", written with AMOS. Poor grammar and runs slowly. PD 755: Temporal Misplacement - good text adventure with digitized graphics, written with AMOS. Appears to need WorkBench 2 or higher. Okay on A1200. PD 756: Ethos - simple graphic adventure PD 772: Gory Story - text adventure, needs 1 meg, works on all Amigas PD 783: Zut Alors 2 - text adventure with graphic panel for movement, inventory etc if you prefer + Infocom Toolkit (to run PC Infocoms on Amiga). (A1200 OK) PD 787: Battlestar (A1200 OK) PD 788: Knightwoode (A1200 OK) PD 810: Timezoner - 2 disk set, œ3.50 (A1200 OK) PD 811: Lethal Formula - written using GRAC (A1200 OK) PD 826: Hazardous Holiday - author Philip Richmond, written using CAT. 1 meg req'd. PD 831: Mystery (text) + Eternal Rome (strategy) + Wizard Wars (hex-based strategy) + Knights (Hack-Moria RPG clone) PD 832: Spacejest (text) + Mount Doom (RPG) PD 848: Suitcase - text and graphics, two disk set, œ3.50 PD 849: Escape from a Very Large Cave - point and click graphic adventure, warning, it is evidently very poor! AGT Adventures (all A1200 compatible) PD 353: AGT text adventure writing utility. 2 drives recommended. PD 426: AGTBIG for the Amiga Unless stated otherwise, AGT games need two drives to run, but they are gradually being replaced with one-drive versions. For two drive versions, put the game disk in the external drive and boot the Workbench disk in the internal drive. PD 354: Crusade PD 358: Alice PD 359: Battle of Philip... PD 360: Tark PD 361: Quest for the Holy Grail PD 366: Andkara PD 371: Pork PD 372: Pork 2 PD 396: Star Portal (1 drive) PD 397: Dudley Dilemma PD 398: Love's Fiery Rapture PD 419: Disenchanted PD 420: Lost Stone Mansion PD 421: Tomb of the Ancient Pharaohs PD 443: Castle of the Alchemists PD 444: Apprentice PD 445: New England Gothic PD 490: Sir Ramic Hobbs .... it's back!

Create Monkey Island type adventures! Requires AMOS. PD 576: CAG - Create Adventure Games (A500/600+ only) - V1.2 AND V1.3 - Latest writing utility. Written with AMOS, seems to be very fully featured with excellent documentation. See Exorcism on PD 656 which is written with it. PD 754: TADS v2.0.16 - not completely bug free but at last it's here! RPGs. PD 377: Moria PD 390: Survivor, needs 1 meg PD 392: Hack! Improvement on ST version with rudimentary graphics. PD 393: Return to Earth - strategy/trading game using Battlestar Galactica theme (find lost colony of Earth etc). Icon driven, new version with instructions in English. PD 399: Legend of Lothian - single character RPG, Ultima style top down view. Works on A500+/600 but even better with PD 510. PD 567: Antep - V1.0 - Very similar to "Legend Of Lothian", ie a plan-view sort of thing. Graphics quite primitive, if colourful. Plays like the rest of its genre. With documentation. Plus Larn - V12.0B - This game is hugely similar to "Moria" and "Hack". Lots of menu features, lots to do. In fact, it can get very crowded, this kind of game with those little graphics...... Brilliant documentation. PD 579: Dungeons of Avalon 1 - Perhaps the ultimate PD E.O.T.B. clone. Excellent. (NOT A1200 regardless of mode or Relokick v1.4. See hints section of Issue 30 for info on save games/subsequent reloading) PD 581: Dungeons of Avalon 2 - Follow-up to the above. Even better! (NOT A1200 regardless of mode or Relokick v1.4) PD 583: Dragon Cave - DM-style graphics PD 655: Dungeon of Nadroj RPG plus Lore of Conquest wargame - Nadroj is yet another Hack/Larn/Moria style game, compiled with AC/Basic and in glorious lo-res. Conquest is a rather more interesting war game similar to RISK. It's for 2 players, very neat and grapical, and well documented. PD 710: Black Dawn - SciFi Dungeon Master/Captive Clone (A1200 compatible) written with AMOS PD 726: Assassins 141 - contains Black Dawn (see above) plus Reversii II and Gold Rusher (Boulder Dash clone with very small sprites.

PD 536: Iron Clads - needs 1 meg. Surface naval warfare from start of century to World War II, programmed in Hi-Soft Basic PD 655: Lore of Conquest wargame plus Dungeon of Nadroj RPG - Conquest is a rather more interesting war game similar to RISK. It's for 2 players, very neat and grapical, and well documented. Nadroj is yet another Hack/Larn/Moria style game, compiled with AC/Basic and in glorious lo-res. PD 728: Task Force - a simple war game like Laser Squad or Act of War (A1200 compatible) Strategy/Sims. PD 652: Act of War - Neat, graphical-strategy sci-fi game, written in AMOS. 3 seperate scenarios are included, all fully documented. PD 729: Star Trek - by Tobias Richter, point and click interface.
