The first available titles are: DeluxePaint (A sophisticated painting program that also supports IFF [Interchange File Format] for sharing data between other applications software. Dr. J & Larry Bird Go One-on-One (Basketball program with some amazing stereo sound. Listen to the crowd calling for beer and hot dogs!) Archon (A strategy game that is played on a chess board. This is NOT chess however! Digitized sound effects for each of the players, in stereo) 7 Cities of Gold (You're a Spanish explorer in 1492.

Deluxe Paint is CP'd with the "key-disk" variety. Aegis (who just bought all the stuff Island Graphics was doing for the Amiga will have several titles available early in '86 (Aegis Animator in 1/86; Aegis Images in 1/86; Aegis Draw in 1/86; Aegis Impact in 2/86; and Aegis Pro Draw in 4/86 ... more said to be on the way). Source for this info is Bill Volk (Aegis Pres.) on Compuserve. BTW, the Animator and Draw programs are supposed to come together in a package for ~$140. None on the Aegis stuff will be copy-protected. /kim I have no connection with Electronic Arts or Aegis. -- UUCP: {decvax,ucbvax,ihnp4}!decwrl!mips!kim DDD: 415-960-1200 USPS: MIPS Computer Systems Inc, 1330 Charleston Rd, Mt View, CA 94043
