y0! the softwarecompanies did a
great job this month and released
much more games than the month before

here are the names of the games i

- p47 - rainbird
- rainbow islands - taito/ocean
- north sea inferno - magic bytes

black tiger - capcom/us-gold

your country is supressed by 3 mighty
dragons and it seems you are the
only one who can free your land by
killing the 3 dragons.
black tiger consists of 6 levels,
each level contains an endmonster
like a dragon or a knifeman. many
enemies make the search of the
endmonster more difficult. you also
have friends, you get hints and other
kind of help from them. the good
music was composed by mark tait and
the graphics are good or excellent
(the endpicture!) valuation : 80

x-out - rainbow arts

aliens came to the earth and settled
at the bottom of the sea. as they
already destroyed 10% of the land
you are called by the government to
fight the aliens.
you steer your submarine through
8 levels guarded by a big monster.
you can buy all sorts of weapons in
a shop before, but you need a lot of
money to be well prepared.
the graphics and the gameplay are
excellent, the music made by fame
is great. the intro, converted from
the amiga is great. valuation : 93

p47 - firebird

you steer a fighter-bomber in the
2nd world war, of course you fight
for the allied forces. the combat-
area are parts of europe and north-
africa.
you have to solve 8 missions in
different sceneries. your enemies
appear in the air and creep over the
ground. you can get some extras like
speed-up, double shot or bombs.
unfortunately the scenery appears by
jerks, the graphic is average and
the music is bad. all in all the
game can't delight. valuation : 51

rainbow islands - graftgold/taito

rainbow islands, the follower of
bubble bobble. here you have to
fight your way through 7 levels, each
of them is divided into 4 sections.
the end of each level is guarded by
an endmonster.
your weapons are an unlimited amount
of rainbows, you can use them to
fight the enemies or to climb on them
to the top.
the graphics are average, the music
sound pretty good. an endsequence is
build into the game. the gameplay
arises much fun. valuation : 76

north sea inferno - magic bytes

terrorists attacked an oilplatform
and took 6 hostages. they also placed
a nuclear bomb somewhere on the
platform. it is your task to free
the hostages and to disposal the
bomb. but you have to solve your task
within 20 minutes. only one hostage
know where the bomb is placed.
you start with a pistol but you can
find other better weapons.(uzi)
you sometimes need a keycard to enter
a room. but the graphic, the gameplay
and the 'music' are terrible. no
real fun arises on the c64. v. : 33

space harrier ii - grandslam/sega

you are the space harrier and you
have to free the fantasyland of the
cruel tyrant dark harrier.
it is your task to fight through 12
levels, at the end of each level you
meet an endmonster.
in the 12th level you meet all
monsters from the first 11 levels,
then it comes to the final conflict,
you meet the dark harrier!
on the whole the game is comparable
to its predecessor, the music is
weak and the graphics are not
delighting. valuation : 47

wierd dreams - rainbird

you have a horrible nightmare and
steer a man in pyjamas through a fan-
tastic country. you have to make your
way from a sugar-wadding-mixer,
escape from a giant-bee and choose
one of the three magic-mirrors.
the game-graphic is different, the
man is hires over multicolor-sprite
but the bee is an expanded sprite.
the backgroundgraphic is acceptable,
the sound is awful but the game-play
is quite funny and interresting.
but the c-64 version is a bad copy
of the amiga-version. valuation: 78
