The Official Sam Mouse interface used and Atari ST type Mouse as opposed to the then more common serial mouse.
The mouse driver code once loaded would populate the variables XMOUSE, YMOUSE and BUTTON that could be read by the user.
The disc contains a Basic demonstration, a (poorly) modified version of Flash! and a ‘Slidy’ game by Richard Robinson that was modified by Colin MacDonald to use the Sam Mouse.
Many games such as Lemmings and Batz 'n Balls were best played with the mouse and for Basic users Steve Taylor’s Mouse Driver 2.0 offered an interrupt-driven pointed system.
