However, fail one and you lose and start again. The mini games       are selected at random and you have seconds to work out how to play. Of       course the more you play the more you find out what you should do. It's a       brilliant idea and well executed.              The download has some instructions and a PDF cassette inlay.              The manual says:              In this operant conditioning game, the player is tasked with pressing a       single button at the right time and in the right way. Determine the best       action for each game. If you are correct, you will advance to the next       round. An incorrect reaction will return you to the title screen. Try to       beat the high score. As you play longer, more games will be encountered.       Some games may test your reflexes with a perfectly timed press. Some games       may require you to rapidly press the button. Others may require different       strategies for pressing the button.              Download: www.sleepingelephant.com/denial/GameTheory-4.0.zip       Discuss: sleepingelephant.com/ipw-web/bulletin/bb/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=7961                     *************************************        TELENGARD       *************************************              Neo-Rio has created a VIC20 version of the game Telengard. To play the       game you have to use a 24 KByte RAM expansion. The game does have some       compromises due to the limited amount of RAM. Click .              Name: Telengard       Author: Daniel Lawrence (PET        original), Nathan Butcher        (VIC-20 porting)       Released: April 13th, 2016              Requirements:        VIC-20 with +24K RAM expansion       Description:        VIC-20 port of the classic role-        playing game              Author's comments              There was no official version of Telengard released onto the VIC-20. Many       screamed out in anguish to their gods to get the game ported to the wonder       computer of the 1980s, but their voices fell on deaf ears for over three       decades. Suddenly, out of the ether(net) the code sprang forth! Their       prayers had finally been answered by the gods... or so they thought.....       In truth, I just found myself unemployed and with a lot of time on my       hands. What started out as an experiment to see if the game *could* be       shoehorned onto a fully expanded VIC turned into an obsession - resulting       in a fully functional VIC-20 port of Telengard v4.18 (the standard Avalon       Hill Telengard version).              Download: sleepingelephant.com/ipw-web/bulletin/bb/download/file.php?id=566       Forum Thread here: sleepingelephant.com/ipw-web/bulletin/bb/viewtopic.php?       f=10&t=7946                            *************************************        AMIGA NEWS       *************************************              *************************************        SHADOW OF THE BEAST INCLUDES        EMULATED AMIGA ORIGINAL       *************************************              "Shadow of the Beast is a new PS4 game from Heavy Spectrum, inspired by the       classic Amiga release of the same name.              Please read the complete article on the link below.              www.vg247.com/2016/05/05/shadow-of-the-beast-includes-emulated-amiga-original/              Also Shadow Of The Beast review - Revenge of the Amiga              metro.co.uk/2016/05/16/shadow-of-the-beast-review-revenge-of-the-amiga-588       5337/#ixzz490AGdpA4       www.playstation.com/en-us/games/shadow-of-the-beast-ps4/                     *************************************        HAPPIGA       *************************************              Happiga is an emulation system that can be used on very small computers,       such as the Raspberry Pi.
