Having had a quick check of my floppies, I intend to bring the following: Sam Strikes Out/Futureball Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monsters Batz'n'Ballz (though I have no mouse) & Tetris, from the most recent Sam Revival Sphera Probably some copies of Fred Obviously this leaves a whole bunch of massive holes in what I can show; is anybody able to loan copies of Prince of Persia, Lemmings, Defender and anything else particularly worth showing? Incidentally: the latest on my 3d code is that it's relatively close now to just being neat library code. So if you're an assembly coder, you'll be able to download it, read a couple of pages of documentation and get on with writing a game or whatever. Future internal fixes and improvements should benefit any projects built against it but not require them to be changed or to have any real knowledge of the internals, like all the best libraries. Hopefully some sort of BASIC- or-similar language for utilising the code will be forthcoming after that.
