IF so, i am buying a copy today..... Resque raiders is a legendary game.. Now that the mac has gone coloured and people can score a good Coloured LC for a few grand, id like to see my good ol favorites back in action, as i am sure people will like them. Ones that come to mind are Air Heart Conan (Good) Captain Goodnight Sammy Jnr Lightfoot Karateka Moonpatrol Amazon Masqurade Willy Byte Hard Hat Mack Endless... if this stuff was ported, well, id have to say re-written )Nasty Big Job actually), to use the full potential of the LC's sound and graphics.. you'd have one hot set of games.... Just my .02c worth Steve h (apple //e man forever, until i decided to upgrade to an FX) YEH!

It seemed rather obvious to me, on first glance, that Armor Ally WAS a reversion of Rescue Raiders. If you look Closer it becomes more obvious: The authors are none other than Greg Hale and Arthor Britto II. (hi, Greg.. met you at BMUG a couple years ago :) As for the game list.. you forgot Marios Bros. and Joust for the Apple II! They were great. If you are an Apple IIe nut but have a Mac (II preferibly) you should get "II in a Mac" (software) or the Apple //e emulation card from apple, which is only about $200. Both of those should let you play your favorite Apple II games on your Mac, though I would guess that only the card will use color. -- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Jamal Hannah | Internet: jhannah@netcom.com | | | UUCP: ..!apple!netcom!jhannah | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+

I've heard rumors of a Beta of some vector graphics game on the Mac that's supposed to be incredible. I heard it was like Battle Zone. I'd like to get in touch with Peninsula Gameworks (or something like that) to become a beta tester- I've got some ideas, if it is like BattleZone. (For instance, if any of you ever played Stellar 7 on the //e, I liked the Mission Briefing option, as well as the variety of opponents. Supposedly, there are only 2 types of enemies in this. Also, I heard that there's only Appletalk net playing. How about modem playing?) --

How about modem playing?) > The program is called "Spectre" and it is very much like Battle Zone, but there aren't any 'buzz bombs' and there's a little more to the game than just survival. However, as far as arcade-type games go, it's kinda lame. The graphics are well done for vector types, but it gets boring after a few levels. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Shotton Internet: cshotton@girch1.med.uth.tmc.edu UUCP: ...!buster!brain!chuck "Your silly quote here."
