Ok, I was just wondering if anyone could tell me who performed the song that
Robb Hubbard used in the loading music to Commando (by Elite) on the C64.
I think the song is called "Stop!" but I wouldnt have a clue who it's by.
("Stop! Living on a video...")

Ta,

No. Unfortunately, there are no plans for Amiga MechWarrior. (What's in the  
s is MW 2 on the IBM.) However, MW has been available on GEnie for some time
now as a multi-player game, and they've been pretty good about porting the
front ends to the Amiga ...

O.K.  I know that this is probably an easy one but I am stuck.
I have James Bond: the Stealth Affair and have been doing fine up
until when Bond is busted (again) and placed in a cage over piranas
  I can get the door open and the watch cable on the wall, but I can't
get James to get out of the $#$&^#% cage.  I think it has something to 
do with an elastic band that I have yet to find.  I would really be happy
if someone would help with this problem. (and this problem only.)  please 
E-mail or post to this group.

I picked up the kid's game Barney Bear Goes to School on the weekend and found
that I have one bad file on Disk-2. The disk has one directory in it called
Data and there is a file called "Graphics" that is corrupt on my original 
Disk-2.

If there is anybody out there that has this game and would be willing to 
uuencode and mail me this one file "Graphics", it would be much appreciated. 

Thanks for any and all replies.

Best Regards 

John

I honestly think the reasons for the promo deals in the US are cause the
Amiga is so "unknown".  The promos are nearly REQUIRED to sell computers here
with all the competition from the PC's

I myself am still gonna get a 4000..and there is no promo on that one....
should be though.. :)

I am at the SAME point in the game. I don't know if it's POSSIBLE to get
past that Musabori AI. Did you download Mimic from Fuji/Hosaka (can't
remember which)? If you did get Mimic, launch that (using IRS Audit) at the
Musabori AI and watch his power. *ZIP* One unit away from destruction. I
don't know WHAT to do about that thing...

I've got the security pass, as well, but I don't know the ID number. Lupus
won't give it to me. I suppose you DO have to crack Sense/Net. That,
though, would be an adventure. I can't find Sense/Net in cyberspace. I DID
find the Turing Registry (jacked in through the Bank of Berne on Freeside),
but I wimped out. Ugh! Hehehe! Let me know if you find a way past that
Musabori AI *OR* if you know where the Sense/Net base is in the matrix.
Later.

   "Nova 9" and "A10 Tank Killer v1.5" both support analog joysticks. You
must provide your own adapter however.  (They can be purchased through
companies that advertise in AmigaWorld for about $15US, and I'm sure that
there are European companies that sell them.)

The title of this article tells my problem to any Finnish reader....
(For foreigners: Esko Aho is the current Prime Minister of Finland and his

I don't get it.
I play Civilization using every single piece of advice I get from any source
and still my every game ends up the same way: I go bankrupt. In 15th century
and afterwards I have no money at all. I can always hire taxcollectors or
raise tax rate, but that works only for a few turns  - after that my funds
start vanishing again.
I have small armies (mainly defensive units) and supporting them cannot cost
that much money. Where IS my money going????

I can still win the game (by reaching Alpha Centauri in 1996 as I did in my 
last game), but this is EXTREMELY annoying. Please, help me! What is eating
my cash?????

Sounds like you are moving your VBR pointer to High Memory.  You need to put
it back in its default position before 4D Boxing will work.  I don't know the
Fusion Forty, so I can't tell you what command to issue, but the docs for the
board's software should be able to point you in the right direction.

I have a PP&S 28mHz 040 and 4D Boxing works just fine.

Let me see if I can help without giving this away. Hmm... You're not going

Subject: Steel Empires
Date: 2 Oct 92 03:09:43 PST
Organization: BBS

I've just seen this recent SSI offering and was wondering if it was any good. 
I noticed the following from the packaging...

- Lists machines only up to the 2000!  Does this mean it doesn't work on an
accelerated machine (i.e. 3000)?

- Says "Floppy Disk Only" on the label.  That's it - nothing more, rather
vague.  However, after checking a similar SSI label on "No Greater Glory"
(which had no "Floppy Disk Only" text where it was on the Steel Empires label),
I think the "FDO" label means it isn't hard drive installable.

- The whole game is actually a liscened product from Millenium, the same guys
that did Global Effect (which ran on a 3000 AND was hd installable).  SSI
didn't develop the thing after all.

Regardless, the game looks fun and I think I'd actually get it if it weren't
for the poor labeling.  Could someone already in possesion of Steel Empires
fill me in to the program's quirks?

I'm sure there is a list somewhere of the CDTV titles currently available, but
I've searched and found nothing.  Ads don't help as they are often incomplete
or state "We carry all CDTV titles"...and since I don't know them, I can hardly
choose.
If someone could direct me to a current magazine that may list these titles,
or perhaps if someone could list these titles on the Net, or e-mail me, it
would be greatly appreciated.

If anyone has heard of any good CDTV versions of current Amiga games or
stand alone CDTV game titles (are there any?) let me know.
Also, if you could note any major differences between CDTV game versions and
regular amiga versions it would be greatly appreciated (music/graphics/extras).

I ordered a CDTV last Sunday and just found out Commodore no longer offers
any software with this machine as of July. (They used to offer Lemmings and
an Encyclopedia, I guess?).  I also called today to find out the shipment is
on hold due to the company being out of stock of the Keyboard/Mouse/Drive
packages.

I am also interested in any amiga applications for this machine as well
(thesaurus', dictionary, atlas', etc.) Anything. Thanks.  E-mail please.

I just got back from a software convention and met Roberta Williams, author

told me the company was dropping Amiga support with the release of 
"Longbow." Then she contradicted herself a little by saying Amiga ports
would be contracted out to a British company. Since we were in a rush I
couldn't get a straight answer. I'll follow up next week.

But, if Amiga support has been dropped for good, that's one more that bites

        or nearly exact to the original games.

        The list so far:

        Omega Race
        Frogger
        Space Invaders
        Defender
        Asteroids

        Zaxxon
        Donkey Kong
        Tempest
        Centipede

        Does anyone know of any really good conversions, or I guess
        I'm challenging the programmers out there to write one.
