Shoot or Die was written back around 1988 shortly after Tommy nine had purchased Shoot'-em -Up Construction Kit. It was the only game he ever
wrote with the software. It's a vertical shooter inspired by Xevious.
Also, the bombers from Defender inspired one of the enemy types. It does contain some original enemies (notice the walking squares on the opening screen).

VIC 20 LISTINGS WEBSITE RELEASED
*************************************

R.M. Smedley said "I have recently launched a new Vic-20 website archiving type-in listings from books and magazines."

The Vic-20 Listings is an archive of type-in games, utilities and other programs for the Commodore Vic-20, the items are taken from various books
and magazines. Some of these programs are often overlooked or missing from other collections of retro computer software.

The aim of the website is to make each program available for download,
together with details of who wrote it, where the listing was published, any special requirements, and brief instructions. At the time of writing there
are more than 850 programs in the collection. The site also gives you a working program to run, as no doubt like me you will have typed these in
from various magazines only to find they didn't work, either with errors or typos from yourself

AMIGA 1000 VELVET REV.03
*************************************

Stefan Eggers Computer Collection Vienna adds a Commodore Amiga VELVET
REV03,

The website says

ICs mostly from early 1985, thus six month before official presentation in Lincoln Center!

What is special about that machine? It only comes with 128k RAM and can be expanded by another 128k on front expansion port to a maximum of 256k.
This expansion is known to exist! You will have heard about stories that Commodore did want to reduce the Memory of Amiga, but the Amiga Team did
not want that. That is maybe why they ended up with a standard of 256k on
the A1000, which was expandable to a maximum of 512k by an A1050 RAM
Expansion module.

Another thing are the names: Daphne (later "Denise"), Portia (later
"Paula") and Agnus. And Daphne had an IC number of AM4705A, the others
have 8364 (Paula/Portia) and 8361 (NTSC Agnus), just like their later equivalents.

The original case and Keyboard does not have any AMIGA Branding, it is
still marked as "C=commodore" on the front and "C=" on the Keyboard (no
AMIGA "A" keys).

ABBAYE DES MORTS - AROS
*************************************

Abbaye des Morts is a game for AROS. You must find the hidden treasures
and fight against the evil that is still alive in the church.

The website says

In the 13th century, the Cathars, who preach about good Christian beliefs,
were being expelled by the Catholic Church out of the Languedoc region in France. One of them, called Jean Raymond, found an old church in which to hide, not knowing that beneath its ruins lay buried an ancient evil.

A style close to Spectrum ZX, with its dark background and bright colours, proper fit with the story, because it does look old and somewhat
horrifying. Also, the gameplay is directly inspired by Manic Miner and Jet
Set Willy.
