   olling SEUCK game consisting of some clever   
   tricks implemented in the BASIC SEUCK engine.  The linked players poke   
   (16578,2) controlled with one joystick mode works really well with this   
   game.  The background consists of mixed hi-res and multicolour chars.   
   You'll know what to expect from Alf the SEUCK master.  The green circular   
   beams also feature a very clever trick implemented into the game where the   
   players can duplicate each other.  There are some mean bosses, human   
   militia, aliens.

   To use a new disk with IDE64 you need an operating system, IDEDOS has it's   
   own filesystem called CFS.  It allows to use disks up to 128 GiB, files up   
   to 4 GiB with holes and fast seeking, relative files up to 16 MiB, 16   
   partitions, nested directories, customizable file types, and new file   
   permissions.  To create the file system on a hard drive, CompactFlash, Zip   
   drive and LS-120 drive use the provided CFSfdisk utility.  It allows to   
   create partitions, change partition flags, and create file systems on them.

       NIGHT OF THE VALKYRIE [SEUCK]   
   *************************************   
      
   Released by:  The New Dimension   
      
   This was the very first compo entry for the 2016 SEUCK Competition   
   submitted before the competition even started, however it wasn't released   
   elsewhere else before the competition and therefore still qualifies as   
   entry.  This is a commando style SEUCK creation with a big twist -- the   
   game is based in 1942 Transylvania during World War 2.  Instead of playing   
   a soldier in the military forces you play a blood sucking Valkyrie who is   
   on a quest to find her true love.  In order to reach her goal she must cast   
   spells at the SS Panzer Division 6 and survive.

   It seems you just press the key that's displayed in the middle of the   
   screen!  So when it shows a letter T you press T, doesn't seem too taxing   
   really.  To make things even easier it always prompts you to press letter T   
   so once you find the letter t on the keyboard, then its becomes quite easy!

   Abba tunes as SID music files with a nice front end.   
      
   Of course it depends on if you like Abba or not as to if you would   
   appreciate the music, and of course there are no vocals to listen to.   
      
   Use the cursor keys to select the tune and enter to play the selected tune.   
   All very competently composed.

   John's C128 VGA adapter webpage has been updated with the latest photos

   After an inquiry from a FCUG member, I looked up John's website and found   
   it to be updated!  The website address has been subtly changed to

   He now has categorized the site into multiple pages - Home, Uses, How to   
   Buy, Quick Start Guide, History, and Contact.  Interestingly, under   
   History, he notes that the BIT-C-128 Video DAC is now in its second   
   production run after having strong Christmas sales.
