 
ARCADE & ADVENTURE
Part 1 of 3
Arcade Game Pack Vol.1 1.0 -
Frogs vs. Cars is a game in which you take on the role of a frog trying to cross a busy
street, and then navigate across a swiftly flowing river. You have to avoid being smooshed
by speeding cars and trucks, and then leap from log to log and finally to safety in one of
the niches at the top of the screen. You'll have 4 lives in which to do this, and the
Newton will save your 10 high scores. Rocks in Space is based off of a classic arcade
game. Destroy rocks with your spaceship or get destroyed. Birds with Lances is a game
where you take on the role of the pilot of a bird with a lance, and you must fight enemies
in a tournament. Credit: Stand Alone Software
AZ Demo - The fate of Earth Colony Alpha-312 lies
in your hands! Depleted of mineral stores necessary for the function of planetary life
support systems, you have been sent to Quantor, its mineral-rich satellite. Your mission
is to harvest the moon's fertile crust, collecting minerals essential for the continuation
of ECa312. Your task is complicated by the presence of exotic indigenous life forms -
grotesquely flopping, crawling, infinitely varied, and convulsively undulating. While
harvesting, you struggle to avoid the gnashing teeth and clenching pinchers of these
innumerable hostile species, relying upon other naturally found elements to defend
yourself. A-Zoo Evasion, an original game for the Newton MessagePad platform (OS 2.0 or
higher), features animated biomorphic artificial life forms of nearly infinte variety,
bred as the game progresses from a gene space of well over one million. The original Pen
Pad provides a pen interface for continuous joysitck-like control in this action arcade
game.
Bug-O-Matic 1.0 - This is a game program for the
Newton. In this game, you have a Bug (i.e., insect) to take care of. It goes running
around looking for foods. Object of the game is to let the Bug eat all the foods. The Bug
runs straight. When it hits a wall or obstacle, it makes a 90 degree turn. You guide the
Bug to foods by putting obstacles in right places. The Bug gets hungry very quickly,
however. When it becomes too hungry to run, the game is over. So watch out its energy
level.
Bombs Away 1.1 - Defend those cities, by tap-tap-tapping! You begin with
5 cities to protect. Each round consists of some number of bombs, and you have a limited
number of missles to work with. Fun for the Newton!
Boppin - Boppin' is just a simple app that I threw together over the
course of the past week (less than 20 hrs all together). BEWARE - If you get to caught up
in the game, you can ruin your screen by tapping too hard. So, be careful. The program
when being played uses the idle script. This will cause extra use of your batteries. Once
your game is over the idle scripts are cleared so that it stops sucking your battery dry.
It does not go extremely fast, but it is noticable.
Boxer is
a first person animated boxing game. Features include three diffrent opponent levels,
round length and number options. 30 day shareware. Credit: Stand Alone Software.
Bricks
2.0 includes many new levels and more challenging gameplay. The Breakout style game
features smooth-scrolling action (animations of 20 frames per second), a responsive
interface, and extensive animations. For those spare moments on your lunch break or those
long hours on the airplane, you'll love the challenge of Bricks! Level of difficulty may
be adjusted by the user via Prefs. Credit: Hexdump Development, Inc.
Chiral: A molecule forming game: Chiral is a
fast-paced game where you are trying to form complete molecules from atoms. Atoms drop
into a bin and you must place them on the board before the bin fills up. Watch out for
radioactive atoms and speed atoms -- they can ruin a game if you're not careful. Chiral is
based on the game of the same name for the Macintosh by Ambrosia. Chiral 9.6 is for NOS
1.x. Credit: Scrawl Software.

Daleks 1.0 - Daleks for the Newton! The goal of the game is to survive
as long as possible. Each turn the Daleks mindlessly converge on you. Colliding Daleks are
destroyed forming a trash pile which destroys other Daleks that run into it. Your Options
- Move to any adjacent square or stand still. Do this by tapping on the screen in the
direction you wish to move. Use a sonic screwdriver to kill all the Daleks adjacent to
you. Teleport to a random spot on the board. You may teleport as often as you want, but it
is risky. If you teleport next to a Dalek you die. Undo is implemented so you can back out
of stupid mistakes. A Micro Daleks version is included, which is much smaller, and does
not include the sounds.
Dock Demo - In this game, you play a dockworker whose job it is to move
packages into loading bays. The goal of the game is to fill each loading bay and advance
to the next level. The dockworker can move along the floor in straight lines only. Just
tap where you want him to go and he'll move there. You can move a single space at a time
or several all at once. If there is a package in front of him, the dockworker will push
the package with him. The dockworker can only push one package at a time. He can move a
package which has lots of space to move into but he can't move one which is blocked by
another package or wall. Demo version, registered ($15) version contains 50 levels. GREAT
fun!!
