TicTacToe (Cadenza Software) 1.01
Cadenza Software have done it again. This excellent noughts and crosses game is impressive in presentation, multi-tasking friendly and lets you play against a friend or the computer (a worthy opponent). -
Gulp 1.2
An excellent puzzler. Move your ball through various transporters, never knowing where you will emerge. Break free from the transporter network and collect the various bonuses dotted around the board. Loiter too long and you'll lose a life or a few squares will disintegrate, forcing you to jump into infinity! This game requires fast reflexes and includes numerous levels. -
Sobriety
A Sokoban clone. You push an arrow around the playing area and collect all the objects on one level to progress to the next. You are playing in a maze where some of the blocks are movable and things are complicated by the fact that it is all too easy to box yourself in. You also have to complete each level within an allocated time. This game is better than most variants as it includes extra bonuses as well as special blocks which may help or hinder your progress. Lots of levels to complete.

Poker Machine 1.0
The best ever computer implementation of the card game Poker. It comes complete with stereo soundtrack and effects throughout. You start off with 10 credits and place a bet of 1 to 5 credits per deal (can be changed between deals). Assuming you get three (or more) of a kind , two pairs or a flush, you gain points which vary dependent on your chosen stake. Each time you achieve a score, you get the chance to gamble your winnings, double or nothing. If you achieve a high enough score you get to "buy stuff". This allows you to gain access to an encrypted archive of the author's other programs! Each program has a "price" tag in points. Assuming you achieve a high enough score, you can even purchase the program which creates the archive and pass on your own software to your friends as "prizes" for achieving high scores in TPM. You are given 10 accounts, each with 10 credits. Different players can use different accounts and you can abort a game at any point, saving your account credits for later use. This lets you build up enough points to buy stuff over a period of time. The Poker Machine needs 2Mb of RAM and almost 3Mb of hard drive space. STE ONLY.

GEM-Manager 0.96
As the name suggests, this is a football manager program which runs in a GEM based shell. It handles English Premier League, Italian Division A and Swedish Allsvenskan. All teams and players are correct for the 1995/96 season but can be edited to suit. Similarly, the teams and their managers are also editable. You can even change the number of teams in the league, name of the league and other details. Like other manager type games, you can buy and sell players and have to avoid going bust! Statistics are given for player attributes, top scorers, league tables and much more. You also get the option to "see" the match. This gives you a running commentary (text not speech) throughout the match and you hear the noise of the crowd and the players on the pitch, all in glorious stereo! A well thought out football manager game which is multi-tasking friendly, runs in any resolution and is customisable to take account of player/manager changes, promotion/relegation and such like. -
Push 'n' Shove
Another Sokoban clone where you must push blocks to specific locations without boxing yourself in. This variant features different shapes of blocks which must be pushed into holes of the corresponding shape. As usual, it's only too easy to box yourself in. Just to complicate things, if there's a conveyor belt, you must travel in its predetermined direction and blocks cannot travel on conveyor belts. Multiple levels of fun in this unique adaptation of a popular theme.

Hellgate 1.50B
A DOOM clone for the ST. This one closely follows the theme of the original, bearing in mind that it fits on a floppy disk and only needs 1Mb of RAM! Rather than fighting against a variety of monsters, your aim is to blast your way through a robot-infested colony based in Outer Space. The only rule in Hellgate is that you must blast everything that moves, kill or be killed. On your travels you can collect keys to gain access to locked areas of the complex, weapons, ammunition, armour and medi-packs can all be collected in order to assist you in your quest and help you live a little longer. Games can be saved at any time, so it's sensible to save at strategic points so you can resume from there as soon as you get killed. Reach the end of one level and its on to the next. Multiple users are supported (though you play one at a time), so each player can resume his own saved games. This Shareware version features three skill levels and three complete game levels. A number of other features are also disabled, though this release remains fully playable. A hard drive and 2Mb of RAM are recommended but Hellgate will run from floppy on a 1Mb system. If you have an STE, you get the stereo sound as well.

Number Hunt
Based on the famous Minesweeper games, you have to uncover several rows of numbers, avoiding the asterisks. Points are based on the amount of complete rows of numbers you uncover, hit one asterisk and it's all over! There are ten asterisks to avoid in level one, more are present in later levels. -
Sequencer (game)
There's a grid of 160 numbers on the left and 30 numbers on the right. Start anywhere in the grid on the left. Selecting a number on the left grid removes it from the right. You may only move to adjacent squares and your aim to clear all numbers from the grid on the right. However, you can't double back on yourself or select a number which has already been eliminated or you lose. Also, the grid on the left follows a pattern, you must do so too! Seven different levels are available. -
Double Take
You start off with six boards, each of which contains 30 mixed symbols. The aim is to turn every square into a blank square. The game alternates between take and swap moves. Take involves removing a matching pair from the same board. Swap lets you swap any two tiles of the same colour between adjacent boards. Each time you remove a matching pair, the same squares on the adjacent board change colour. -
5 Grid Solitaire Game
Follows along similar lines to Double Take, where you have red and blue pieces and the aim is to change them all to blanks. Even the symbols are the same, but that's where the similarity ends. There's one board in the centre and four on the edges of your screen. You can swap any symbol with another of the same colour provided they are on the same square of the different boards and one of the two is on the central board. However, you cannot swap a red symbol onto a board which already has its blue partner (and vice versa). Swap pieces so there's two of the same symbol (and colour) on the same board and you eliminate both pieces. Sound complicated? It is!

Mummy's Playtime

Go Troll
A version of the card game fish (anyone heard of it?). All the cards feature trolls. Ask Mummy if she has a particular troll. If she does, you get it, otherwise you pick a card from the pile, then it's Mummy's turn. If you collect four of the same troll, you get a "book". The aim of the game is to get more books than Mummy.

Bangman
An adaptation of hangman. Mummy thinks of a word and you must guess a letter. A stick of dynamite is placed in the poor sod's pocket every time your guess is wrong. Seven incorrect guesses and Mummy's favourite troll presses the plunger and blows him up!

-
Chase the Troll
A version of Chase The Ace. Mummy asks you to find a named troll (it helps if you are an expert on trolls!) and you must click onto the card you think has that troll's picture on it. -
Choo Choo Shoe Shoot
You are on the platform of a railway station and Mummy has lost her shoes. The object of the game is to shoot the pairs of shoes which appear in the train's windows. There are other things, bad guys included, to shoot at. Get hit five times and the game's over!
