Bar games

Bar games was developed by ArtisTech Development and released for Commodore Amiga in 1989 by Accolade inc. This game contains five subgames. Liars dice, wet´n wild, last call, air hockey and pick-up artist.


Each of the events of  the bar games can be played individually.
Choose between:

LIAR'S DICE

WET'N WILD

LAST CALL

AIR HOCKEY

PICK-UP ARTIST

In the tournament, players face each challenge in succession, starting with
liars dice, then wet´n wild, etc.  player one always plays each event first

The high scores are shown in the last several pages of the bar games menu.

When you complete a tournament,the Tournament Standings screen lists the order
of finish for the tournament just played.

You can use either the keyboard or joystick to play.


Liar´s dice

Each player begins this game with 100 chips.  There are ten rounds. If,
however, your chip total becomes zero at the end of any round, the game is
over.  Each round opens with your first WAGER in increments of five, from 5
to 500 chips, but, of course,you can not wager more chips than you have.

You win if:  You call your computer opponent and her bid is higher than the
actual combination of hands; or your opponent calls your bid, and the actual
combination of hands is equal to, or greater than your bid.

You looose if:  You call the computer opponent and her bid is equal to or less
than the actual combination of hands; or Your opponent calls your bid, and the
actual combination of hands is less than your bid.


Wet´n wild

Is in real just a Wet T-Shirt Contest, the object of this lubricious entertainment is to dunk as many buckets of water as you can from a catwalk onto a contestant on a stage below.  You get a maximum of 16 buckets and one minute per round to get the hardbody below at least 80% wet.  Each time you do, you move on to a new contestant.

There are 8 possible rounds.  A round is over when all your buckets are empty
or the time hits zero or you have gotten a contestant 100% wet.  The game is
over when you fail to get any contestant at least 80% wet, or when the timer
hits zero in the final 8th round.

Scoring and Extra Buckets.

You can earn points for each percentage point that you get any contestant wet.
Check the wetness gauge , a horizontal bar above the contestant's name, to see
how wet you've gotten the contestant.

Direct hit      =      25% Wet
Near hit        =      12% Wet
Marginal hit    =       6% Wet
Miss            =       0% Wet

For every 200 points you score, you earn one EXTRA BUCKET.  These appear only
at the beginning of succeeding rounds, and only replace those buckets kicked
off by earlier contestants.

If you get any contestant 100% wet, you earn 5 bonus points.
for each second remaining in the round, as well as 10 bonus.
points for each unused bucket remaining.

Last call

You are the bartender.  Your job:  Slide mugs of beer down a long, sleek,
3-tiered bar to thirsty patrons.  Precision throwing is a pure art - too weak,
and the mug slides off the bar short of the mark; too strong, and the mug goes
tumbling over your customer's outstretched hand.

Each of the four rounds consists of a one hour shift,and the rounds take place
on four consecutive "nights" - Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
Naturally, as you head into the weekend, each night is a lot tougher than the
preceding one.


Air hockey

A simple game that requires complex motor skills, always present in any bar
situation.  On screen is a standard air hockey table.  The object is to score
goals by using your PADDLE to knock the PUCK into the slot (goal) on the
opponent's end of the table.

As you advance, goals are worth more points and the bonus "constant" is higher
Here's how the bonus structure works, using Barbi as an

NAME            POINTS/GOAL      BONUS CONSTANT
Clyde               25                25
Nina                40                40
Willard            60                60
Barbi               75                75


Pick-up artist

Employing your best pick-up lines, find the girl with the flower on Wednesday
night, so that you can take her on a series of three dates.  If you can
satisfy her conversational desires on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday as well,
then you receive the big Weekend Reward.

Once you gather enough gumption to strike up a conversation, Stephanie, Michelle or Anastasia.
There are some basic conversational guidelines.  No matter which girl you choose to talk to
on the first night (Wednesday), the computer will ask you a series of three
questions, and you have three possible replies to each question.

If you select the correct replies to all three questions - and she is the one
with the flower - then you can earn the right to take her on a date Thursday,
the next night.

Hare raising havoc

Hare Raising Havoc is a side-scrolling puzzle adventure game developed by BlueSky Software in 1991 for the Amiga and MS-DOS, and published Disney Software.

Baby Herman runs away after he catches sight of the large baby-bottle-shaped sign on top of a local bottling plant.
Roger Rabbit is in charge of the babysitting. In order not to be sent back to the science lab.
He has to find his way out of the house, and up onto the roof of the plant, before Mommy arrives home. and finds out Baby Herman missing.



Level skip:
Hold [Left Alt] + [Ctrl] + [Shift] + [F5] to advance to the next level.

I only found two answers to the questions in the beginning of the game. Apple How many of this item does Roger have in his shirt pocket? 0

Hourglass How many of this item does Roger have in his FRONT pocket? 1



Mommy is going shopping for an hour, and she has asked Roger Rabbit to watch
Baby Herman while she is gone.  While Roger is telling Mommy what a good job
he'll do, Baby Herman spots a giant milk bottle on top of Tasty Moo Dairy
and crawls away.  Roger has sixty cartoon minutes to find Baby Herman and
get him back home.  In order to do this, Roger has to find his way out of
seven different areas.  The normal exits are locked or blocked, so Roger
must use his wits and the objects in the room or area he is in to get
himself out.  Roger will want to try everything around him.  Have him pull,
push, kick, slide and jump on objects to see if they'll help him escape.

Hints

The following section contains general hints on how you
might complete a room.  These are just hints, there is a
complete walkthrough for the game at the end of this
document that will specifically tell you what to do to win.


Hints for the living room

Try pulling chains and see what happens.  Use your head.
Roger will have to move some furniture around in order to
get out of this room.
Don't trip over the lump in the carpet.  Hmmmm...I wonder
what that could be?
There's a nasty fish in the fishbowl.  You'll need to use
Roger's magnetic personality to get what you need.
Mommy's not home.  Jump on the furniture!
Around and around he goes, where will he land?  Nobody
knows.
Time's a wastin' so get out fast!


Hints for the kitchen

Old Mother Hubbard's cupboards were bare.  But Mommy's may
or may not be.  This is a key problem.
Repeating things may bring timely rewards.
Quick!  Try to get something off the shelves.
Mommy's going to have to buy paper plates when Roger gets
through with the kitchen!
Once Roger gets past the sink, he's really cookin' now.
Swing high, swing low.  Do you know which way to go?


Hints for the bathroom

You can't go far slipping on that wet floor.  Something might
get soaked.
After all he's been through so far, Roger might need to
freshen up.  This should give him a lift, but don't let this
hint throw you.
Roger needs hot and cold to be just right.  Remember, hot
air usually rises.
Try the plumber's helper to give Roger a boost.
Up, up and away is the key to getting out of this room.


Hints for the backyard

Water Pressure can really help get you over annoying
obstacles.
That's some high powered fertilizer!
There may be more in the tree than meets the eye.  I'd keep
checking if I were you. A watched bucket never fills.
Douse the heat to give Fido a treat. If Roger is quick, the tire-swing should do the trick.


Hints for the street

Some people are allergic to feathers, and we're not clowning
around! One good sneeze deserves another, if it's done in a timely
fashion. Some trash is valuable, but be sure to put things back where
you found them. Roger's magnetic personality may not be enough.  He may need
to lure in some help.


Hints for the construction site

Roger has more than one pocket.  Try carrying more than one
item. Gee, that cement mixer looks a lot like something else.  Try
it out.  It can be a bang!
Turning things upright can help Roger get to the right (But
TNT doesn't hurt, either!).


Hints for the factory (Dairy)

Remember:  You can't do anything to a bottle unless it's
clean, you can't put a nipple on it until it is full, you
can't stack it until it is labeled and complete, and you
can't save Baby Herman until you can reach the window.
This one's pretty much up to you!

Nuclear war

Nuke ´em till they glow.

Developed by New World Computing, and released for the Amiga in 1989.
You play against four computer-controlled spitting images of your choice or randomly chosen.
Now you must try to win world domination. In order to do that, you get 4 options:

* Build weapons
* Propaganda
* Launch a nuclear attack
* Defence

You got one move for every turn.


Don't take this the wrong way. I played this game alot back in the late 80´.
But, the gameplay is quite limited in its design.
And winning i based on luck rather than skills.
If you are very unlucky, all four enemies can choose to attack you.

Definition of spitting images
Spitting Image is a British satirical puppet show, created by Peter Fluck, Roger Law and Martin Lambie-Nairn.
The series was produced by 'Spitting Image Productions' for Central Independent Television over 18 series which aired on the ITV network.

The secret of monkey island

You can see my walkthrough and learn how to finish the game.
Or you can just play the game all by your self.
Either way is there a few things worth knowing.

Besides collecting everything you find on your way.
These four things are worth knowing.

* Insult Sword Fighting, how to win
* How to free the prisoner from the dungeon (the mug run)
* The combination to the shopkeepers vault
* Directions to monkey island (the pot recipe)

Read my hints below this full length gameplay.


Insult Sword Fighting
Is a skill that you can learn from Captain Smirk and from the Troll guarding the bridge.
But they only teach you three insults. And the list of insults is long.

You find Captain Smirk and the troll here:

After you have learned a few insults. It is time to go out on the path and practice.
Normaly you will need three successfully landed insults to ensure a victory.
You need three pirats to respond with "Wow! you´re goog enough to fight the sword master".

Insults and Comebacks:
 Insult  Comeback
 You fight like a Dairy Farmer!  How appropriate! You fight like a cow!
 This is the END for you, you gutter crawling cur!  And I've got a little TIP for you, get the POINT?
 I've spoken with apes more polite than you!  I'm glad to hear you attended your family reunion!
 Soon you'll be wearing my sword like a shish kebab!  First you better stop waving it about like a feather duster.
 People fall at my feet when they see me coming!  Even BEFORE they smell your breath?
 I'm not going to take your insolence sitting down!  Your hemorroids are flaring up again eh?
 I once owned a dog that was smarter than you.  He must have taught you everything you know.
 Nobody's ever drawn blood from me and nobody ever will.  You run THAT fast?
 Have you stopped wearing diapers yet?  Why? Did you want to borrow one?
 There are no words for how disgusting you are.  Yes there are. You just never learned them.
 You make me want to puke.  You make me think somebody already did.
 My handkerchief will wipe up your blood!  So you got that job as janitor, after all.
 I got this scar on my face during a mighty struggle!  I hope now you've learned to stop picking your nose.
 I've heard you are a contemptible sneak.  Too bad no one's ever heard of YOU at all.
 You're no match for my brains, you poor fool.  I'd be in real trouble if you ever used them.
 You have the manners of a beggar.  I wanted to make sure you'd feel comfortable with me.

Then you will be ready to fight the sword master.
Sword masters normaly have their own unique list of insults and those who oppose them are forced to use their wits to find a comeback in their own repertoire that makes sense.

You find the sword master here:


The sword master got 17 different insults
 Insult  Comeback
 Now I know what filth and stupidity really are.  I'm glad to hear you attended your family reunion.
 Every word you say to me is stupid.  I wanted to make sure you'd feel comfortable with me.
 I've got a long, sharp lesson for you to learn today. And I've got a little TIP for you. Get the POINT?
 I will milk every drop of blood from your body!  How appropriate, you fight like a cow!
 I've got the courage and skill of a master swordsman.  I'd be in real trouble if you ever used them.
 My tongue is sharper than any sword  First, you'd better stop waving it like a feather-duster.
 My name is feared in every dirty corner of this island!  So you got that job as a janitor, after all.
 My wisest enemies run away at the first sight of me!  Even BEFORE they smell your breath?
 Only once have I met such a coward!  He must have taught you everything you know.
 If your brother's like you, better to marry a pig.  You make me think somebody already did.
 No one will ever catch ME fighting as badly as you do.  You run THAT fast?
 My last fight ended with my hands covered with blood.  I hope now you've learned to stop picking your nose.
 I hope you have a boat ready for a quick escape.  Why, did you want to borrow one?
 My sword is famous all over the Caribbean!  Too bad no one's ever heard of YOU at all.
 You are a pain in the backside, sir!  Your hemorrhoids are flaring up again, eh?
 I usually see people like you passed-out on tavern floor.  I'm glad to hear you attended your family reunion.
 There are no clever moves that can help you now. Yes there are. You just never learned them.

How to free the prisoner from the dungeon (the mug run)
Ash you run from the SCUM BAR, with the mug full of grog.
The mug will start to deteriorate / melt. It is important that you swap mugs as you run towards the dungeon. I made a small video to show you how to use and swap mug.

The little computer people



The little computer people (LCP) is also known as House-On-A-Disk
Was created by Activision for the Commodore 64 in 1985.

I am not going to wright a complete walkthrough.
Because the internet is full of very detailed description of the game.
You can find a manual at the bottom of this page.
And I made what I consider the largest list of questions, that you can ask your LCP to do.


The keyboard commands don't work at the beginning of a new game in the first 5 - 10 minutes. In this phase the "new" LCP walks through and examines his house.

CTRL+F = Food will be delivered at the door.
CTRL+W = The watertank will be filled up a little.
CTRL+A = Rings the alarm clock.
CTRL+D = Dog food will be delivered at the door. LCP does the rest.
CTRL+C = The telephone rings. LCP loves to make telephone calls.
CTRL+P =  Patting, all LCP love this.
CTRL+R = Give LCP a record.
CTRL+B = Give LCP a book.

Communication
It is possible to 'talk' to your LCP by typing sentences at the
keyboard of your computer.  You can make suggestions as to
what he should do - play the piano or you can ask
him to write you a letter. keep trying new ideas at the keyboard
and watch what happens.

* Please type a letter to me / Please Type Letter
* Please build a fire
* Please play piano
* Please play another song
* Please Play Record
* Please Play Cards
* Please dance
* Please Drink Water
* Please Feed Dog
* Please Play Computer
* Please Brush Teeth

Some of the terms that LCP understands. Whether the LCP follows instructions depends on recent research, the mood of the LCP as well as his character.

Hint
the emotional state of your little compter person is important.
So be sure to pay attention to his physical needs and overall well being.

A mystery
Aabsolutely no-one has found out what the LCP's get
up to when they go through that door and disappear off the screen.
No, not the toilet door, the OTHER one...

Battle Chess


I made this replay of the legendary match between Garry Kasparov and Veselin Topalov
The game was played on the 20 January 1999, at the Hoogovens A Tournament.

You probably already know how the game ends. So i am only going to leave a teaser.
When a knight faces up to an attacking pawn, the look of anguish and pain on his face as he gets booted squarely between the legs is so funny!!
There are many, many other examples of humour, see if you can spot the monty python reference.

Red: Garry Kasparov
Blue: Veselin Topalov

Garry Kasparov was born 13 april 1963 in Baku, Aserbajdsjanske.
Grandmaster between 1985-1993.
