Is there a good Backgammon for the Amiga? I have one PD version
("Hoser Backgammon") but I can beat it every time.

You need to catch three thieves in the act of picking your pockets to get all the info you need.

It is apparently a couple of years old, and shows its age. (The graphics are less than stellar, if you'll pardon the pun.) However, so far, it's been a fairly enjoyable game...It's not CoK, but it'll pass the time. I'm just waiting for Renegade Legion: Interceptor to come out... Anyway, has anyone else played Star Command? Got any helpful hints? I'm trying to find the princess that got stranded in an escape pod near the black hole. Lastly, can anyone give me recommendations for other SF based strategy/ adventure games? (I'm not looking for arcade-style shoot 'em ups in other words...) Is there an Amiga version of "The Kobayashi Alternative?" Thanks in advance.

Dropping them down the pit doesn't work because they come back through the teleporter. Hitting them seems totally useless with club/sword/shuriken soooo - how do I kill the suckers??

It's very simple. "Jump" is a figure of speech, since you can't jump in the game. You can, however move forward very quickly, as long as you're not injured and the speed will carry you over the closed pit that you activate a couple of steps before. Just keep clicking on the FORWARD arrow as fast as you can. -- Stewart Mckinnon - via FidoNet node 1:221/171 UUCP : watmath!xenitec!zswamp!178.0!Stewart.Mckinnon Internet: Stewart.Mckinnon@p0.f178.n221.z1.fidonet.org
