This page is for the type-in games that I haven't been able to find on the net anywhere else. They are mostly from Compute & Compute's Gazette (pre-Gazette Disk) & RUN. I'll add more games here from time to time (I'm not the best typist in the world, so it takes a while to type the programs in). Hope you enjoy.

Astrostorm

Compute! June 1983

 

In Astrostorm, you use the joystick to fly your space ship threw an asteroid field trying not to hit the asteroids. Pretty basic. Maybe someone can add some graphics to this one to make it more pleasing to the eye.

Hawkmen of Dindrin

Compute! June 1983

 

Fly down through the dangerous skys of the planet Dindrin to collect golden stones. Retrieve enough of them and you can win the game.

Oil Tycoon

Compute's Gazette Oct 1983

 

Oil Tycoon is a great little game. Use your oil rig to drill deep into the earth to search for black gold. Use the joystick to control your rig. Watch out for shale, red devils and gas pockets, as you drain the screen dry.

Bee Trap

Compute! June 1983

 

Bee Trap uses multicolor mode to create some very unique characters out of the stock character set. Grab the lost bees from the bottom of the screen and guide them to the flower bed at the top. Watch out for the venus bee traps that spawn randomly on the screen. A nice little BASIC game.

Haunted House

Compute's Gazette Feb 1984

 

Use a joystick to collect the yellow cats and return them to the bottom of the screen. Watch out for demons, ghosts and bats. The bottom row is the safe zone.
