EDITORIAL
*************************************

Family commitments and general all round lack of time have meant another
rather late issue of Commodore free or C=Free, however in this issue not only will you find the usual news for Commodore machines from around the world, we also have various Commodore games reviews.

On the News items; I would be interested if anyone can actually see on a real machine; this news item working Commodore 128 VDC-IHFLI as although I have the right hardware I couldn't get it to run, but as the hardware is quite specific then I suppose I shouldn't have been too surprised.

Some great art has appeared over the years for Commodore machines and the Colours on the Commodore 64 and hardware limitations that should limit people work doesn't seem to bother some very artistic and talented people. If you
look at the news item Landing in the Village GFX you see how very impressive, superb looking, and what some would call an impossible creation. It's a great piece of work, and although I have signalled out one items its one of my favourite pieces of work, its worthy of printing out and hanging on a wall somewhere!

I have reviews some games from the 264 series of machines and of course the good old Commodore 64, these are new games that have recently been released onto the scene. Hopefully they will tempted to download and have some fun; remember all the game reviewed in this issue have been released as freeware .

Our COMMODORE PROGRAMMING series is continued by John Fielden who enters the scene of charts and grids and then murky world of voting with some
applications to type in for the 264 series of machines.

That's about it then for another issue thanks for reading

Regards
Nigel

*************************************
AMI-LINEAPOLIS - FIRST PLAYABLE
VERSION (2.9) IS FINISHED!
*************************************

Ami-Lineapolis is native Amiga OS4 program for solving Morpion Solitaire written in PortablE language.

The developer wrote:

"Before computers I played this game using only paper and pens, the rules are simply and I had some more interesting job then listening boring teacher. Technics are not bad - now I can save my games, easier finding low visible moves etc. This is first Amiga OS4 release and not all features are coded, but enough for start playing. Try this game - is fun and easy, and you can be hooked... I need feedback from players for improving code, finding bugs,
before I implement next features.

Read the ami-lineapolis.manual and start playing!

Troubleshooting: If game freezes especially on some Radeon HD graphics cards try disable graphics sync in options.

Any comment are welcome.
