                 Zenobi Amiga PD disk œ1.49

When you boot the disk you get the option of playing:- INSECTOIDS,
POING or PONG.  All three are variants of original classic arcade
games.

'Insectoids' is a rather nifty version of 'Galaxians', where you
use the joystick to blast away at alien attack waves which swoop
down, firing deadly missiles at your ship, which can move L/R
across the bottom of the screen.  Gfx and Sfx are good. There are
sections where you have to dodge asteroids. Your reflexes need to
be up to scratch as you only get 3 lives. Blast away!

'Poing' is a neat 'Breakout' clone and can get addictive.  Using
the mouse to control your bat/paddle you must bounce the ball
(which travels at differing speeds) at coloured bricks/tiles of
various patterns and shapes in order to demolish them and break
through. This gains you extra points and bonuses. There are a
number of stages to complete in each level.  Good eye/hand
coordination is essential as you are limited to 3 lives. A fun
game.

'Pong' is a souped up version of the famous original bat and ball
video game.  There are options for adjusting bat size, goalmouth
size and background colours. It's for 1 or 2 players and you can
play with 2 or 4 bats. Mouse/keyboard operated.  A well presented
tribute to a much loved golden oldie and great for all you
nostalgia fans!

All three are competent renditions of hit games from a bygone era.
Nothing new, of course, but they still retain appeal.  OK for
passing a spare half-hour or for something to do when you get
stuck in your latest adventure.
