El AMER'S DELIGHT 2<br />
Gamers Delight is another<br />
compilation CD courtesy of<br />
Schattruhe, and basically its<br />
based along the lines of the<br />
Assassins disk. This, too, is<br />
also the second in the series<br />
but there were certain flaws<br />
in the menu system then_<br />
With this CD being designed<br />
by a foreign company, the translation comes across<br />
differently.<br />
For example, instead of platform games being referred to<br />
as 'platform games', they were referred to as 'jump and MI',<br />
which in fairness is no real fault of their own, it just looks<br />
odd. The cursor to select options was a very faint colour, and<br />
straining your eyes to make Out what you were going to<br />
A MINET SET 2<br />
Everybody who's anybody will have<br />
seen, heard, or even used the<br />
Arninet series, either on the past i<br />
CD-ROM series or via modem. All the 'k<br />
time, people are uploading their software<br />
for use on Aminet's extremely<br />
impressive collection. Since its launch<br />
there have been nine CD-ROMs and<br />
these all contain the latest software for<br />
that time. Therefore, if you happened<br />
to own the entire lot, you would probably<br />
have the most comprehensive<br />
library of <strong>Amiga</strong> software to date.<br />
G.T.I. are back to distribute the<br />
famous Aminet Sets, and already they<br />
are on to their second in the series. The<br />
entire package is not cheap, at E34.95,<br />
although for your money you do get four CDs absolutely<br />
packed with gorgeous goodies that were uploaded in<br />
November.<br />
The CDs are split into categories - the first containing the<br />

AMIGA COMPUTING<br />
FEBRUARY / 99 6<br />
!Kr<br />
select was imminent Garners Delight 2 has now made an<br />
appearance containing 1070 games from different categories.<br />
There are 70 commercial releases, so don't expect Public<br />
Domain, and an example from the 'Jump and Run' category<br />
would be 'Go Kevin Go' - sounds great. There are various<br />
other games called Gardener, Rollerball, Willi Wacker and<br />
Bals, I suppose that sums up the CD quite well.<br />
No CONTEST<br />
It may not be as polished as the Assassins series, but it's different<br />
The games may be unheard of, and they may not be<br />
of outstanding quality, but that's certainly not what you<br />
expect for E26,95.<br />
Although the Assassins compilation is the same price, it's<br />
double the quality. I don't think there's any doubt which one<br />
you should go for.<br />
utilities, documents, text and business software; the second<br />
contains pictures and graphic software, the third contains all<br />
the fun topics such as games and demos along with more<br />
utilities for use with your hardware; and the fourth and final<br />
CD is entirely dedicated to music modules, samples, and<br />
Comms software.<br />
There is 850Mb of music modules that any music fan<br />
would gladly pay E35 for. The Aminet<br />
series is and always will be<br />
the greatest compilations<br />
to date. With its excel-<br />
lent <strong>Amiga</strong>Guide<br />
database allowing /<br />
you to access /<br />
everything, depacking<br />
and reading<br />
from a click of<br />
a button, this is the<br />
definitive compilation.<br />
Well, until<br />
Decembers comes out<br />
anyway.<br />
