Easy Mirrors Module V1.1
A Binary Legends Release.
FEATURES:- three types of symmetry: front/back (the mirror is facing you), left/right (the mirror is turned 90° from your viewpoint), upside-down (the character is reflected by a plane below him, such as a lake).
- you can choose the opacity of the mirror: 0.0 means it reflects perfectly. 1.0 means it doesn't reflect anything.
- Custom-shaped mirrors : just pick a sprite as a mask and your mirror can have any shape.
- Attenuation: when the player moves away from the mirror, his reflection becomes less and less visible.
HOW TO USE:
- See the header of the script. It's as simple as possible : choose an object as the mirror, another object as its symmetry center, and a region to trigger it on or off when the player walks on it.
KNOWN ISSUES:
- It's quite slow. It's meant for small mirrors. I'd say no more than 200x100 pixels reflecting simultaneously.
- There are tiny rendering bugs (sometimes the mirrored image is late one frame, or sometimes it's not aligned properly -- but the player won't really notice). Those will be fixed in next version.
- It only reflects the player character. It doesn't reflect any object or animated background or anything else. But you have all the tools to tweak the module and make it reflect one or several NPC's. It draws directly onto the background surface.
SCRIPTERS WILL LIKE:
- It's meant to be enhanced. It's written in a way that you can add many "shaders" to the rgb values, it will only slow down the rendering of the pixel linearily.

Indy Styled Travel Map Module V1.0
A Binary Legends Release.
Still as part of our development effort for Indiana Jones and the Seven Cities of Gold, we're releasing this module based on Scavenger's prototype.
We had to change a few things to make it more flexible and to work around the alpha channel bugs in GUI backgrounds (which should be fixed in AGS 3.3+, hopefully).FEATURES:
Remember in the Indiana Jones movies? Every time he travels, there's a close-up on a (scrolling) map, and a red line showing where he's travelling. Optionally, his vehicle is shown on top of the scene, with transparency. This module does exactly that! Try out the demo to check for yourself.
HOW TO USE:
Read the manual included with the module.
In a nutshell: create a room (with the map as the background), add one object and 2 dedicated gui's (to fit the module's inner architecture) and call the few functions to initialize stuff (see the manual).
Then, just queue up some waypoints and the red line will travel there. In the room , manually draw some regions, and when the red line goes over that region, then the corresponding vehicle overlay is shown (e.g. a plane when Indy travels over the sea).
Off you go.

2) Use a joystick in Port 2.
3) Use the cursor keys to move and use the space or return keys to click.
The version of Questreader on the disk has been patched to enable it run from any drive - so the Marlo Files will run from any Commodore drive number.

A Binary Legends Retro Release for the Commodore 64 in 2010!
Alfredo the lovable stickman was once the star of the Big Blue Disk, Softdisk and Loadstar disk magazines in the 80’s. The Alfredo adventures were non-interactive computer “cartoons”. Today they would be called demos, but the term was not in use at the time.
Now in 2010, Alfredo returns in two new Alfredo adventures/cartoons that I created. Back when I did work for Loadstar, I made these two Alfredo’s for Loadstar. Both were published on Loadstar in 2000. Since Loadstar ceased putting out new issues in 2008, I decided to update them and release them for the web.
The disk contains the Return of Alfredo, and Alfredo’s Perilous Pitfall.
This release is freeware.
In order to run The New Adventures of Alfredo, you will need to use a Commodore 64 emulator. We recommend VICE and Emu64.
