Last school year some friends of mine were playing a game called Sentinel or Sentinel World on an IBM PC. Has this game been ported to Amiga? It is an excellent, involved space adventure game with fairly well done graphics. (Nothing astounding, but it was a good game.) Jon

Sentinel does exist on Amiga, and the use of the mouse and the graphics add a lot to this already mysterious and addictive game. I had been playing it a lot on my old Apple ][ and had even more pleasure to face it again on the Amy. Hours of play guaranteed! I can't remember who it was distributed by, though... +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Cedric BEUST University of Nice | | INET: beust@mimosa.unice.fr $whoami | | UUCP: llaor.unice.fr!arkonis!beust god (personal alias) | | -- "To be, or not to be...", | | That is illogical, captain! | | -- Spock | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+

There's been some talk about Sentinel, and I believe the game being referred to is not Sentinel by Firebird (pretty ancient), but Sentinel Worlds by Electronic Arts, written by Karl Buiter. As far as I know, there is no port to the Amiga. I remember in the instructions, at the end, Karl was lauding the IBM EGA standard for graphics, and the work of his colleagues to make them excellent in the game (no wonder no Amiga port :-)) I didn't find the game to be anything particularly special, although the new game by him, Hard Nova, promises to be good and unavailable for the Amy. Hope this helps. ****************************************************************************** HA HA! YOU THINK THIS IS THE REAL .SIGNATURE? IT IS!
