During the eight and a half years I’ve owned my Sam, I’ve spent quite a bit of my time programming on it. While a lot of my programs were never finished, or had a very specific use, I also managed to write several programs that were of a quality and usefulness that they were included on various issues of the Fred Disk Magazine.

Given the recent interest in the Sam due to Sim Coupe, and the fact I had three completed games that never made the light of day, I thought it was time to include all my major pieces of work on one disk, and make it available to all.

This collection is that work.

I have aimed to include my major contributions to Fred, which are more for memories sake. It took me quite a few attempts before I reached an “identity” I was happy with, that of Unc of Sad Snail Productions, so many items are of older identities, including my first guise as “Tizo”

I guess this disk is just as much for me as anyone else, but I hope you enjoy it. As well as just describing the games, I plan to waffle on about the history of them as well, and on any other Sam related topic that passes my mind. This collection is also my Ego trip if you will allow me the pleasure.

Several of the games have never been published before. They were written in a selfish weekend originally for Fred, however this co-incided with a rough patch in Freds History, and they never saw the light of day. There are 2 disks floating about with them on, so they may still make it one day ;-)

This demo of the pre-release version of F-16 Combat Pilot appeared on a Crash covertape.

Partially functional and unfeasibly slow the full game never materialised.

The following text is taken from the in-demo scrolling message:

F16 Combat Pilot out soon on the SAM Coupe. Designed by David Marshall.

Programmed by Revelation for Digital Integration. F16 Combat Pilot copyright 1991 Digital Integration Ltd. Welcome to the exclusive
Crash demo of Digital Integrations F16 Combat Pilot. This simulation is based on the general dynamics 16 multi-roll combat aircraft that has flown many combat and reconnaissance sorties for the USAF and other air forces around the globe.

The F16 is powered by a single GEC F110 GE 100 turbofan engine and the airframe is capable of exceeding mach 2.

In the full simulation you have a selection of radar, infrared, and laser guided missiles & bombs, and you are fitted with an M61A cannon.

In the full version there are over 28 combat missions 8 recon missions and 8 strategic campaigns to be won.

Watch out for the soviet MIG29s that will intercept your movements. There will be times you wish you had not taken off!

Let’s take a look at how this bird flies.

For your pleasure this version runs in two different modes: a wire frame representation of the outside world, and solid gives you full colour constructed buildings. You may toggle the mode by pressing ‘P’

You can increase the throttle by pressing ‘Q’ When you have reached 100 knots, pull back on the joystick or press 8 to take off. Raise your undercarrage by pressing ‘U’. You should now be in full flight.
