2. MARVIN THE MARTIAN 

 This  is  a  maze  game  where  you  have  to help Marvin to rescue his
girlfriend  Meryl.   To  do this he has to go around 15 mazes collecting
treasures  and  keys.  You must avoid the Beasties and watch your energy
level.

 This  is  a  single level demo of the game, in the full version you are
given a password at the end of each level which allows you to start from
a higher level.

 We  have  also  written  a  book "Amos in Action"  which  is  published
by  Kuma Books Ltd,  in  which we explain exactly how Marvin was
written.

3 WORK & PLAY 

 Work  & Play is a 3 section educational package.  In this Demo, you are
able  to  view  screens from two programs and have a limited turn at the
third.

 Fun  Times  Tables  is  a  board  game which teaches the multiplication
tables.   If a player lands on a coloured square, he/she has to answer a
multiplication  sum before going on.  1 or 2 players, each can play at a
different  abilty  level  to  allow  children  of different ages to play
together.

 Let's go Shopping!  is set in a shop, the aim is to complete sums based
on the theme of shopping - eg If Apples cost 8p each, how many can I buy
for 48p?

 Click  Clock will help a child to tell the time on both an analogue and
digital  clock.   You can have a go at this game until a timer takes you
out of the program.

 First  of  all,  click on the clock you want to use, then set it to the
time  shown  at  the top of the screen using the buttons underneath each
clock.   Click  on  `Set Time' to tell the computer you're ready.  Watch
for the mouse trying to get at the cheese without waking the cat!

4. FLOWER POWER 

 This  is a game which we wrote just for fun.  Help the gardener to grow
some  prize  flowers  for the local flower show.  In the full game there
are ten levels to play, test yourself on just one here.

 Control is with the joystick.

 Use  the  fire  button  to pick up the trowel, dig the earth, plant the
seeds and make sure that the seedlings are well watered as they grow!

 As  well as this, there are bugs which come along to try and pinch your
plant.  Scare them away by moving towards them and pressing fire!

 Good Luck!
