Games from Ahoy! Magazine
by Cleveland M. Blakemore

In the span of a little less than 3 years Ahoy! Magazine published 35 game programs for the C-64 and C-128 by Cleveland M. Blakemore. Many of these games pushed the limits of the computers and used graphics features other programmer's avoided (for example - Dark Fortress is a two player adventure game where each player has their own separate monitor to play on – C-128 with both 40 AND 80 column monitors required).

Permission was received from Cleve Blakemore on September 28, 2004 to make these games available as copyrighted freeware.

The accompanying articles have been scanned in and saved on the disks with the game programs in Busy Bee Software's The Write Stuff (TWS) format and also as True ASCII files (-name.asc).
