It was to be the sequel to Silkworm and would be called Silkworm IV, - because times as good." i tAt 'that l l time nobody took into consideration that Silkworm was b e an arcade license, which meant fthat oif Random u Access wanted to ruse the name Silkworm, it would cost them, despite the fact that Silkworm IV would have been a totally original game, not a coin-op conversion. I'm telling you all this so you understand where the name SWIV came from. SilkWorm IV - AVIV. Got it? Good. Out on the Storm label in November, by the way. This SWIV demo has been specially programmed for you. It's not the first level, or anything like that. What you've got are the opening CRIBBAGE is an old English card game, said to have been invented in the 16th century by Sir John Suckling. It is a refinement of an earlier card game called Noddy. To start the game, double click on its icon. When the main layout appears you will see a scoreboard at top-left. Computer is blue, you are red. There is a grey box at top-right showing how many games have been won by each player and an orange box at top-centre showing the total value of the cards which have been played. The green box on the left holds the cards in the crib. This also indicates (at the top of the box) who has the crib. The crib alter- IF Mil 11 IN MAW DEMO background graphics re-mapped to show off some of the features from later in the game. swnt doesn't have levels - it's one continuous vertically scrolling landscape with 12 intermediate enemy installations where the scrolling stops until you've zapped everything in sight. After each installation has been wiped out, the landscape changes. In the full Source code THE source code for Cribbage is on the cover disk in the Cribbage drawer in a crunched format. It can be examined by double clicking the Cribbage.BAS icon. Select the Print gadget when viewing to get a hardcopy. Should you wish tp play with or customise the listing, you will have to decrtmch it first. The program for doing this, Decnmch• is in the C: directory of the cover disk. nates after each hand. The large box to the right of the crib holds the cards during play. The white box on the right holds the com- game there will( be a jungle landscape, an icy wasteland, a space graveyard, a science fiction landscape . I don't want to spoil it for you, so I'll stop giving the game away. The demo is single player: the game itself will be one or two player. You'll start off with one player in the helicopter and the other in Cethage puter's cards, the blue area below the crib box and the play box will hold your cards. There is a gadget marked REVEAL OFF underneath the box which holds the computer's cards. Use this if you want to cheat during play. Prompts and messages are displayed in the box at the foot of the screen. The game starts with a question: Do you want muggins rules? If you choose “Y" you will have to add up and declare the score in your •••.;.„ the jeep, but at some time during the game you'll be able to change vehicles so that you can have a two-chopper or two-jeep game if you like. There's very little thinking involved in playing SWIV. The idea is simply to blast your way from one end of the game to the other, leaving behind a trail of destruction. There will be several power-ups to collect, and it will be important in certain places which power-up you take on board. An expert player will take 40 to 50 minutes to finish the whole game, depending on how long it takes to finish off the intermediate installations, so it'll be no mean feat if you get to the big end of game sequence, which is really something special and a trademark of the Random Access development team. You don't need any instructions to play this SWIV demo: Just plug in a joystick. own hand yourself. With muggins rules switched on you must input your score using the up and down arrow keys, then hit Return. Your opponent (the computer, in this case) will decide what it thinks your score is. If you have omitted to score something, the computer will draw your attention to it and score those points for itself, hi a game between two humans this action is accompanied by a AMIGA COMPUTING November 1990 59
