RED STORM RISING
****************
Red Storm Rising is made by Sid
Meier (You know him!! He's the one who
made F-15 Strike Eagle and
Silent service) in cooperation with
Tom Clancy and Larry Bond.
The game, based on the the book with
the same name, is released by Micro-
Prose. The disk-version costs \ 25.
In the game pack you will find a nice
manual (more then 100 pages) and a
keyboard overlay. The programm uses
both sides of the disk .
Thanx to a built-in fastloader the
loading goes fast.
-->
The grafix of the game are functional
and sometimes they're even excellent.
The sound is lame, only a few sound
effects. It'll take you some time
to learn the game but that's worth it.
Conclusion : a good simulation game !!
I used information from :
The game manual
Zzap 64 nov. 1988 Score:86%
Nb. our test score is: 8,3
See also our manual section.
Kick Off (soccer)
*****************
A good soccer-game which has excellent
grafix and animations.
It looks like you're playing in a big
stadion where a game is going on
between two champions.
With two players it's even better
to play. There are: Corners,
Kick & rush, off-side etc. etc.
If you're playing dirty you'll get a
yellow or even a red card!!!!!!
For Commodore 64, Amiga and Atari ST.
I must say, the Amiga version is a lot
better as the 64 version.
Fort Apocalipse
***************
This old game is made by Synapse and
is a real classic game.
With an helicopter you have to enter
a underground cave. The cave will be
defended by tanks, lasers and other
helicopters. Your mission is to save
people and blow up the energy-centre
It's a hard game to play. If you
finished your mission the computer
will give you a rank.
TRICK : land on white fields. If you
die you will return on the last place
you landed.
In the article 'TNT' you can get
infinitive lives.
SUPERMAN
********
This product from Tynesoft is one
of the best games they made, if you
only look at the excellent grafix.
It really looks like a comic.
The sound is rather bad.
You have to finish six missions.
Superman is really strong and he can't
be killed.
You can play the game in no-time till
the End!.
The fun is super-fast finished!.
Zzap march 1989 gave it 39%.
I think it's worth 4,2.
ROGER RABBIT
************
Ofcourse, after the film, the game!.
On the 2 disks are some excellent
pictures and animations.
Only i think the gameplay is a little
boring but other people might like it.
PACMANIA
********
Yes, after many years of rest there is
a new Pacman from the original coders.
This time a 3D version.
The yellow Pacman is this time really
3D and a real playable game.
It works just like the old game.
But one thing has changed.
Pacman can jump over the Ghosts so he
can live longer !. A lovely game !!!
Thunderbirds
************
Who remembers himself the tv series
on wich this game is based ??
Well i do, i even got the hacker-name
from it. The last game (yes, there is
another) is made by Grandslam and they
did their job well. Its a nice gamepack
with an free audiotape.
The theme music is good and the FX is
okay. 'Thunderbirds' is an arcade/-
adventure with the feature to flip
between two characters. You have to
puzzle your way trough. Positive is
the fact that the figures are moving
quickly around your screen.
Pitstop 2
*********
This game reappeared in the charts
because it is a budget game now.
This old game is still one of my
favorites because you can race against
a friend. On a split screen you can
see the two cars drive and you even
can see them both when they are close
together. After a few laps you have to
turn into the pit to swap your tires
and to get some new fuel. Well done
Kixx, to bring out this game again
for only a few bucks. I'll hope you
enjoy it as much as i do !!
Batman - the movie
------------------
After Batman '88, Ocean presents.....
Batman the movie. Ofcourse based on
the movie with Jack Nicholson as the
Joker. In the first part Batman swings
with his Batwing between the platforms
of a chemical factory. Right now you
can see how nice the grafix are.
Also the sound and fx is good but most
important the gameplay is interesting.
This game is a lot better as the '88
version. I played it on a 64 and on
an Amiga. The grafix is ofcourse better
on the Amiga but the action is almost
the same. I can say the 64 version is
a little byte (1/8 byte to be exact)
harder but thats just fine.
Navy moves
**********
In your rubber dinghy are you on your
way to destroy a submarine from some
terrorists. You have to look out for
the mines and enemy attackers. The
first level is to hard to do in my
opinion. The grafix are not outstanding
but the sound is good. You can see the
original piccy in our PIC menu. Number
6 (if my memory is good).
