{eTango/Destiny {areplies to {aOutback/Cyanide
{aHmmmm. It's was nice to see that when you {eslagged off {athe {mBitmap Brothers {ain
{fGrapevine 11 {athat you only mentioned their worst games. You seem to have
forgotten about three of their {cbest {areleases:-
{mGODS
Speedball
Speedball II
{eI'd like to discuss each one of these games in turn.
{fGODS {c- {aThe graphics on this game really are quite impressive and give tons of
{eatmosphere {a to a {fwell-hyped game{a. The sound cannot be faulted, as the intro
music is done by Nation 12 and is of {eJohn Foxx's {ausually high standard.
{cPlayability is second to none. {a There is {eLOADS {ato keep you going in this game.
Not content with {cfour {mHUGE {alevels, there are also end of world bad guys to
cope with who really put your man through his paces. {e Overall {aa {msuperb{a
platformer but {fsurpassed{a by some of the newer stuff available.
{fSpeedball {c- {a OK. So it's not as good as {mSBII {abut the violence, which is the
main point of the game IS there, and it makes quite an impressive game when
played in two-player mode. Yes, the {cgraphics {acould have been {ebetter{a, and the
{fsound{a better, but overall it is still fun to play.
{fSpeedball II {c - {aThis is {eTHE {aviolent sports sim to beat all others! The
graphics are superb with all sorts of neat touches, like when you score all
your forwards do the jive. The sound is equally impressive with another
stonking soundtrack by {eNation 12{a, as well as enough grunts and groans to
satisfy the most bloodthirsty of players. The addition of a {msalesman {ayelling
"Ice-cream!" after you've scored a goal is also a neat {elittle touch{a. The
playability is second to none and a year on, I still come back to this game
even though I have won ALL the cups. The two-player mode is even meatier than
Speedball I and makes it a winner. Overall, this is a {esuperb game{a, and if you
haven't got it you're {cbonkers{a.
{a Now, just to go back to the games that Outback pointed out. {fAgreed,{a
{mMagic Pockets {awasn't that good. {cCadaver {aand {cXenon I {a& {cII {aweren't that hot,
but surely their other games make up for them? Even if they don't then I
would just like to agree with Outback that {mBitmap Brothers {aare wankers.
{cPersonally,{a I don't like their "{fcool image{a" even though they have produced
some {estonking games{a.
{c[{fOutback/Cyanide {ais welcome to respond to this article in {mSatanic Rites{a, as is
any {mSatanic Rites {areader. The opinions expressed are not necessarily those of
the {eeditorial staff{a. -Ed{c]
