~Games Under A Tenner. Over the years there have been a huge number of games released on the PC. Many have become classics never to be seen again, others are re-released for all who missed them to have a 2nd chance of buying. When the games are re-released they usually hold a low price, normally under a budget label.... I have in passed issues brought to you brief lists and info on some of these games, and I'm gonna do the same again this issue.. All of the mentioned games in this article can be obtained direct from Cheet Sheets at the stated price (alongside the game title). Simply mail the total amount, plus game titles, to the usual Cheet Sheets address, "By-The-Way", Chilsworthy, Gunnislake, Cornwall, PL18 9PB. Please make cheques/postal orders payable to Wayne Roberts and add 1 pound to total price to cover postage (1st class recorded). For latest list and prices feel free to mail me (with SAE) or ring (9am to 3pm). ~Electronic Arts Classic Range (CD-ROM only - 9.99). ~--------------------------------------------------- Complete Ultima 7 - Probably one of the best RPG game to appear on any format, this pack, contains all the episodes in the VII series. FIFA Soccer - The best soccer game to appear on the PC with maybe only the recent Actua Soccer release being a good competitor. Arcadey style rather than managerial. Labryinth - Originally released as Labyrinth of Time. A great graphic adventure with some detailed video quality graphics. Little Big Adventure - An excellent game, which will keep even the best of adventurers puzzling on for hours. Only about 18 months old but no game of this kind has been released since that will touch it.... Great graphics, sounds, and excellent gameplay, ranging from hard to even harder. A classic that must be an addition to everybodies game collection. Magic Carpet Plus - Well another game that broke new barriers, an alternative shoot-em up with a lot of skill and strategy needed to fullfill your goal. Michael Jordan In Flight - Basketball games haven't been much success on the PC in the UK, but when released (as with most EA titles), this game broke new barriers. Great graphics mixed with fast and furious gameplay. NHL 95 - Another sport very popular in the US, but not so much over here, released as a game... This effort is probably the best there is on a PC (excepting the 96 release of course), but still the extremely fast action has yet to be totally put into action on both the PC and any other format, but a great game other than the slightly slowed down gameplay from the real thing. Noctropolis - EA haven't released many graphic adventures in the past, probably due to the mass market already available. This though is a good attempt and for a tenner well worth the purchase by any keen adventurer. PGA 486 - What can I say, the best golfing game on the PC, till PGA 96 came along...... Links was a strong contender for years but in my mind this game with it's excellent graphics and near to real graphics takes the top spot. If your looking for a cheap alternative to PGA 96 (34.99), then this is the one for you.... Populous 2 & Powermonger - Two of the best strategy GOD games ever to be written for ANY format. A little dated but you can gain months of play and plenty of challenges. The only thing these games lack is the FMV's that aren't even needed..... Privateer - Similar to X-Wing, strategic style shoot-em up. At the time of release probably the only game to give Wing Commander II a battle. Seal Team - Strategy game in a similar style to the more recent Command & Conquer, XCOM, and Warcraft games... US Navy Seals need to be guided through over 80 missions, of pure battling in a 3D Vietnam world. Shadowcaster - If you liked Ultima Underworlds II and want a challenge then this RPG (with a few differences to the usual run of the mill RPG), is the game for you. A game for the player who likes a game that will keep them busy for months !!! Space Hulk - This is an intelligent mans DOOM. This is a mixture of Aliens and DOOM with a load of strategy thrown in. You need to guide your squad of armoured guys, through an alien ridden number of levels. Not so much blast everything but more of take the right route for an easy way out.... Great game of it's time.... SSN Sea Wolf - Submarine simulator, again probably the best to appear on the PC (Subwar 2050, the only other coming close). Strike Commander Plus - What can I say about this game ? It was released and everybody was shocked by it's excellent gameplay. A modern day flight sim with a WAR in progress, you take on all !! This enhanced version includes the extra missions and updated game. Syndicate Plus - Bullfrog have released a number of great games over the years and this is probably the best of them in the strategy/blast everything department. One of the first Bullfrog PC titles, and still a great game by todays standards. You have to guide your squad of fully trained men though a number of tough missions. With it's excellent 3D hi-res graphics and great gameplay, a classic for anybody's collection.... It's sequel Syndicate Wars due out this year, with all the originals ideas put together with 96 style graphics, sound (and maybe spoiled by too much FMV ???).... System Shock Plus - Very much a futuristic style Doom but with a more strategic meaning to the game. A huge area of play sees you going from level to level making your escape possible. As with all EA titles, great graphics and guaranteed brill gameplay. Theme Park - We've seen Maxis in the past release a number of Sim games (namely Sim City, Sim Tower, Sim Ant etc..), but EA went one better with Bullfrogs excellent SIM game based on the making and running of a Theme Park. An excellent idea, put into an excellent game that will keep you busy for months.... Ultima Underworlds I & II - Ultima has seen some of the best RPG games on the PC, and the Underworld sub-series is just as good with more of a fantasy DOOM style to it's gameplay. A definite game for all ULTIMA fans looking for the same excellence in a game with a different feel. Wing Armada - With the success of Wing Commander came a sub-game based around this excellent sim/shoot-em up. Wing Commander 2 - The first of this series broke all new barriers in the field of PC futuristic flight sim/shoot-em up games. The 2nd episode stretch it a little further with improved graphics, and gameplay. (This was the game b4 FMV became the bulk of the package !!!!)..... Probably in the long run the same game as in WC3 & 4 without the multi-million budget of the FMV sequences !!! ~Regenerator ~----------- Probably the cheapest range of CD's currently on the market that hold some great classic games.
