During the eight and a half years I’ve owned my Sam, I’ve spent quite a bit of my time programming on it. While a lot of my programs were never finished, or had a very specific use, I also managed to write several programs that were of a quality and usefulness that they were included on various issues of the Fred Disk Magazine.
Given the recent interest in the Sam due to Sim Coupe, and the fact I had three completed games that never made the light of day, I thought it was time to include all my major pieces of work on one disk, and make it available to all.
This collection is that work.
I have aimed to include my major contributions to Fred, which are more for memories sake. It took me quite a few attempts before I reached an “identity” I was happy with, that of Unc of Sad Snail Productions, so many items are of older identities, including my first guise as “Tizo”
I guess this disk is just as much for me as anyone else, but I hope you enjoy it. As well as just describing the games, I plan to waffle on about the history of them as well, and on any other Sam related topic that passes my mind. This collection is also my Ego trip if you will allow me the pleasure.
Several of the games have never been published before. They were written in a selfish weekend originally for Fred, however this co-incided with a rough patch in Freds History, and they never saw the light of day. There are 2 disks floating about with them on, so they may still make it one day ;-)
