Archer Macleans Pool!

Nice physics, it has UK pool, hilarious cue chalking noises, and if you leave the mouse long enough your opponents balls make faces at you.

Brilliant!

Hmm... seems its not available for free download :-( Good luck finding a copy.. I'd sell you mine, but I still play it occasionally, so ;-)

As for those games, wow thats a blast from the past. Yeah, I wrote them in Amiga E years ago.. 5k Space Invaders is surprisingly fun, yes. But 6k Pacman is fatally flawed; its possible to remove a dot without it registering as "eaten" so you end up with invisible dots which you have to blindly find to finish the level ;-)

I could make much smaller versions these days as my 68k assembler skills are much better..

Glad you enjoy them, anyway!

Well, it won't be on Aminet, its a commercial game, so check the legal download sites... but I've got a feeling its not been given a free release...
