Even today I find lots of entertaiment to be had out of the FRED disks - theyre the coolest thing any Sam owner could ever have for their machine - some of the user games on the disks are far better than the proper third part ones - but its the demos that are truly amazing - pure quality musical & graphical productions that push the Sam to its limits. I’ve collected PD over the years for Amiga & PC but they dont come close to the quality of production of demos found on many of the FRED disks, you would be forgiven for thinking you were on a 16 bit machine - they are a true asset to the Sam Coupe, if ever anyone out there had a reason to buy a rare, weird (if somewhat useless!) piece of kit like the Sam the FRED disks are it! No Sam user should be without them, a true keepsafe for years to come.
