BackDrop randomly cycles the Workbench Window image. It selects the random images from a directory pre-configured and specified by the user. The user also defines the interval at which the images are to be cycled. Requires AmigaDOS 3.9 only, no additional software is needed. Image file formats supported are those for which datatypes are available on user's system. BackDrop also includes a facility to change the Workbench screenmode (dimensions and number of colors) and does not impact system boot-up. Tooltype support. Installation is simple. Full Amigaguide documentation is enclosed. Registered users enjoy indefinite operation. Version 1.6 provides compatibility for AmigaDOS 3.9.

Choice iff, gif and jpeg image files for use with BackDrop. These files were specifically chosen to best demonstrate how BackDrop can make an interesting and beautiful Workbench screen. After installing BackDrop, decompress this archive to a single directory, then target this directory as BackDrop's image directory (by selecting the "Set Image Directory" button gadget in BackDrop). Then select the "Go" button and enjoy!

Here is an excerpt of a review of Starship 2.0 from the July 1993 issue of Viewport Magazine (posted on GENIE):

(GENIE Starship Amiga file number) 19762 STARSHIP20.LHA: "Don't think much of Captains
Kirk and Picard? Think that you can handle a starship better than those bus
drivers? Here's your chance. Starship 2.0 is an nearly commercial level simulator (And
the author ... only wants $5! What a deal!). ...The program features background sound
effects (you can choose music instead,...), multiple windows, data readouts, etc....
This thing is slick, slick, slick!" -- Nick's Pics (AKA Nick Cook)
