Description
This is the first of many multipacks from Enigma. Inside this box are two high quality arcade games that use all of the special features of the Sam Coupe. Full sixteen colour graphics, 6 channel stereo sound and arcade action are all to be found here.
The first is FUTUREBALL, a future sport simulation. Football in the year 2090 is a little different to today’s tame game. Lasers, killer robots and deadly traps all feature as normal parts of the game. You are a new recruit to the team and have to go through the rigourous training schedule before being accepted as a member of the team. This program simulates that training. Can you survive to join the team?
The second game is SAM STRIKES OUT! and is an arcade adventure featuring loads of screens of some kind of weirdest creatures yet found on a computer. You control SAM, the little robot from the computer manual as he seeks his way back home. Help him survive, it will not be easy!
WATCH OUT FOR FURTHER MULTIPACKS FROM ENIGMA!
