Paradise are pleased to announce the release of their second RISC OS game:

O V E R L O A D


Overload is a fast, frantic arcade shoot-em-up! Powerful, varied weapons
must be used to complete a series of missions over the action packed
scrolling levels.

Whilst travelling through a small planetary cluster, you recieve an urgent
distress message. Intelligent life does exist in this system!
You quickly despatch your explorer craft and set down on the first of the
planets.

Gameplay takes place over a number of areas over the different planets of
the system. Your task - to rescue the beings of the worlds and destroy the
invading alien craft! Along the way, you will encounter more fearsome
invaders - only by learning how to use your varied weapons will you stand
a chance!

The full version features:

- Over 20 frantic action packed levels
- 5 graphically varied planets, increasing in difficulty
- much larger and more intense levels
- more varied enemy invaders, planetary beings, and scenery
- full access to all of the weapon systems - Lazers, rockets, and bombs!
- password access to all planets
- hidden bonus features, cheats, and levels
- a stunning end of game surprise!

Overload was released at the Wakefield RISC OS show, and is available right
now, direct from Paradise, for just ukp 12.99 (Cheques to "Paradise Group")

RISC OS "PlayStation" Joypad Interface

Also seen for the first time at Wakefield 2000, are the Paradise Joypad
interfaces. The interface, which connects to the printer/parallel port,
allows you to use "PlayStation" joypads, just as you would a standard
joystick. Currently it supports the "Acorn" joystick system, which most
games use, along with mouse emulation. Support for keyboard emulation is
currently underway and should appear with in the next month. Right now,
standard digital and analogue pads are fully supported with full analogue
input from both sticks, and use of all 8 buttons. For full details of the
latest supported pads and features, check out our website show below.

The joypad interface and support software is available right now, direct
from Paradise, for just ukp 12.99 (Cheques to "Paradise Group")
