There's been some talk about Sentinel, and I believe the game being referred 
to is not Sentinel by Firebird (pretty ancient), but Sentinel Worlds by
Electronic Arts, written by Karl Buiter.  As far as I know, there is no
port to the Amiga.  I remember in the instructions, at the end, Karl was
lauding the IBM EGA standard for graphics, and the work of his colleagues
to make them excellent in the game (no wonder no Amiga port :-))  I didn't
find the game to be anything particularly special, although the new game by
him, Hard Nova, promises to be good and unavailable for the Amy.

Hope this helps.
