Gravity Force

Gravity Force is a video game series for the Amiga. The first game in the series was published commercially by Kingsoft GmbH in 1989¹, as a Thrust-clone. The aim is to pilot a spacecraft through caverns avoiding enemy fire. The ship is subject to gravity and inertia and colliding with terrain or the walls of the cave results in destruction of the ship.

They collaborated on the graphics with Christer Masmanidis, Niklas Ivarsson, and Jan Warner (of Amiga demoscene group Nexus). The game was released onto the Blekinge Institute of Technology's student BBS, hosted at the Soft Center business park in Ronneby. The game was re-distributed to the Datormagazin BBS, and at this point the creators published an update making the game shareware. Subsequent contributions from fans include a level editor by Richard Franks, and many unofficial levels. As a complete rewrite, sharing no code with the Kingsoft original, Gravity Force 2 added destroyable walls, single player missions and a 2-player multiplayer mode, both split-screen and over a null modem cable. Sound effects were homemade recordings such as hitting a cord against a radiator and dropping fruit into water. In 1994, Gravity Force 2 attracted the attention of British computer game magazine Amiga Power, who released it on the coverdisk of issue 39, and the following year ranked it the second best Amiga game of all time (behind Sensible Soccer). Their endorsement continued in 1995 through the commissioning of Gravity Power, a slightly enhanced version which was published on the coverdisk of issue 50. Amiga Power had asked for a 4-player mode, but this did not make it into the final version as it would have required substantial rework to the codebase. The latest official version in the series was released in March 2026¹, entitled Gravity Addict. This was produced with help from Galahad for Amiga Addict magazine and adds a new intro titlescreen, new menus and text, plus many additional game levels to play. ==See also== Gravitar (1982) Space Taxi (1984) Thrust (1986) XPilot (1992) ==External links== Gravity Force Gravity Force 2 The Gravity-Force 2 homepage CD32 version
