I'm looking for some reasonable games for my Amiga 1000 - something for
entertainment between study and programming sessions.

I've heard bits about several games on the net recently, notably FirePower,
Garrison, Gauntlet, and Arkanoids, though a few others have been mentioned
as well.  Before I rush out and plunk down my money, I'd like to know
a few important things:

Does the game work?  I've heard that FirePower GURUs a lot, but is it
worth it?

Does it require specific configuration?  I have an extra 2Meg hitched up-
will the game still work?  Must I reboot my machine to play the game,
and does it do nasty things in memory - eg, will my VD0: survive if I
play the game for a while?

And of course, is the game decent?  How long does it take to beat the game
and lose interest?  Marble Madness lasted about a week and a half to win,
and it's been sitting in the drawer ever since.

Other remarks, recommendations for other games, etc. are of course welcome.
I'd prefer that replies came by mail - eighty articles or so a day is a
pretty hefty load.

Thanks in advance,

Jason
