We just downloaded AmiOmega-1.3.lzh from abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov; it was in the
/incoming/amiga/GAMES directory. It is a GREAT game along the lines of Hack,
Larn etc. but it looks MUCH deeper, richer, more complex, more varied etc.
I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY AND ALL HELP. But right now, SPECIFICALLY, I need to
know one *kind* of important thing; when in the beginning, the game asks you
"what is your sexual preference?" is it asking the sex you prefer to be... or
the sex you prefer to be with?! In other words, if I (being a male) want my
character to be masculine, WHAT DO I SAY???

I unarced the game in rad:omega, assigned omega: to rad:omega, and started the game from an interlaced workbench screen. The game comes up non-interlaced, and a big part of it is off the bottom of the screen. On a bet, it looks like PAL mode, with half a dozen or so lines off the bottom. It also looks like a _fabulous_ game, but it came with esstially zilch installation documentation. Anybody know how to make it all show up on the screen at once?

In Omega it's only important which sex your character prefers to be with. There are some monsters who want to seduce you. When you choose 'f' these monsters will be nymphs. As I haven't played with sexual prefernce 'm' I do not know wich monsters appear then (I think a satyr or something). So if you like women, better type 'f' :-) I hope this helps!

CRobots is a wonderful game. It has been posted on comp.binaries.amiga, so look on ab20.larc.nasa.gov to find it. (Check the FILES.Z file for the location.) In a similar vein, a look through the XTank source reveals several references to the Amiga. It is stated that the code does not currently work on the Amiga, but one can't help but wonder... Any info there? (If you don't know, XTank is somewhat an extended version of CRobots. Make that greatly extended.) > > Ross Smith -- Jason L.

About C-Robots, I have it but haven't played it much--classes keep me too busy. What I have seen is REALLY neat! The game is available on one of the Fred Fish disks (I honestly don't remember which one though...), and I downloaded it from the anonymous ftp site ux1.cso.uiuc.edu from the /amiga/fish/ff??? directory. It comes as a .zoo file, with the game, docs, and about 15 sample robots (source and 'compiled' files). Hope this helps...

I know this is a stupid way to advertise, but try to download omega150.lzh from abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov incoming/amiga instead. It should be NTSC (or what you call it over there) with Hires-Ultima-kindoff-graphics, it is still only a workcopy yet, since I am waiting for some more graphics. The game is sub- stantiel larger, so you might have trouble on a 1meg maschine. The installation should be simple, just change the paths in the omega.cnf file, plus read the 'Readme' file. For a historical view of the releases I've made check the file 'Versions'. (Use lharc -x -r e) With regards Klavs Pedersen aggaton@freja.diku.dk
