Hello all you gamefreaks out their ! It's time to present the
short information about the latest games.I think the whole part
about games within this issue seems to be very short but next
time we'll ! Now,let's goon !!!
SUMMER EDITION
--------------
PRODUCER: Epyx
PRICE: about 79 DM
A star is born ! This is the right indication for the latest
product by epyx because 'SUMMER EDITION' is the best sportsgame
ever published on the ST.Their have been some conversions which
we have forgotten caused by their low quality.Names as 'world
games' lost all motivation while working on the Atari ST. But
this game shows great graphics and super animation . Eight
disciplines have to be mastered by the player and each one
starting with bowshooting till gymnastics consist of good
technical work and are well done.The parts need exact control and
much carefull feeling.Everybody searching a new great sportsgame
should run to his softwareshop to get this new HHHIIIIITTT !!!!!!
GRAPHICS: 84 ' Summer Editio is very '
SOUND: 63 commendable !!!
MOTIVATION: 81
PRICE/EXECUTION: 72
ALTOGETHER: 80
ALTERED BEAST
-------------
PRODUCER: Ariolasoft
PRICE: about 65 DM
'Altered Beats' is one of these games coming from the slot
machines then mega-drive,C64 and then Am... and last but surly
not least ST.I hope the losing of quality will stop before this
version.The aim of the game is once more to help a beautiful girl
which was kidnapped by some monsters ! Impossible that this game
will keep without anemies ! Wild zombies,dogs and other horrible
creatures will come.Your weapon is your blank fist and with this
item you have to kill one by one . Some times a white creature
will appear and after killing it a special item will be left !!!!
Get it and we'll get new power.This all about the game called
'Altered Beast' ! The screen scrolls a bit shaky from right to
the left and the anemies attack you comimg everyware.Level by
level you must fight.However ,testing shoot'em up's,the gameplay
seems to be lost .Although I think this game will make his way
through sevearl STs.An average work and somebody thinking he must
have all games should get also this one !!!!!!!!!

CONTINENTAL CIRCUS
------------------
PRODUCER: Virgin
PRICE: about 79 DM
A wave of racing games is moving towards the ST ! First one is the
game using the name 'CONTINENTAL CIRCUS'.The player drives a
formaula one car and must prove hisself on eight courses. Before
driving the mainrace you've got to qualify by driving a needed
time.But to qualify you must also drive some parts within some
seconds otherwise the car will give up.Try to aviod hiting
another car because then one loses time and caused by the
destructed motor you've to drive into the box to repaire it. All
eight courses have got different background-graphics and next to
curves their're also risings.Everybody playing 'CONTINENTAL
CIRCUS' the first time has got the chance to use eight so called
'Credits',this means you can start again,if you lose a race or a
qualification.I think virgin produces a good conversion and you
need not only speed but also good steering !!!!!

Here we are,the end of the SHORTCUT.Wish you much fun with the
rest of the magazin !!!!!!
