y0 dudes!<br />
<br />
as i announced in the last issue,<br />
the hits and flops look a bit<br />
different now compared to the last<br />
issues !<br />
from now on i will list up all the<br />
first-releases made by european and<br />
american groups. for that i simply<br />
look on the boards which version is<br />
first, of course this way isn't 100%<br />
sure, as some games can't be released<br />
in the states due to fixing or<br />
language problems. another point is<br />
that a us-group sometimes doesn't put<br />
<br />
<br />
a game out as first, although the<br />
european group cracked it first !<br />
(e.g. time soldier, first cracked by<br />
i+t or dominators, but put out about<br />
2 weeks later by genesis and xds !)<br />
<br />
anyway, i will try to do this job as<br />
fair as possible, but i take no<br />
guarantee that i am always right !<br />
<br />
no lame shit-games allowed!<br />
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+<br />
(e.g. kfi and dic games!)<br />
<br />
nevertheless i will keep on testing<br />
some games !<br />
<br />
the games aren't listed in a<br />
chronological order !<br />
<br />

don't get them all!<br />

you see, it was a good month for<br />
games, nearly 30 games has been<br />
released. i hope i didn't make any<br />
big mistake !<br />
<br />
ok, now enjoy the following game-<br />
tests...<br />
<br />
(+)<br />
<br />
international 3d-tennis - palace<br />
<br />
this 3d-tennis simulation is the best<br />
i have seen on the c64 so far.<br />
firstly there are many options like<br />
1-2 player, tournament, training etc.<br />
secondly the gameplay is very<br />
interesting as you can switch beteen<br />
9 different surveys on the playing-<br />
field. the players are looking very<br />
funny and the 3d-effect is good<br />
converted. if you select an advanced<br />
option you can play the game only by<br />
yourself. for beginners, the computer<br />
makes most of the movements of your<br />
player. valuation : 89<br />
<br />
turrican - rainbow arts<br />
<br />
turrican is a great hit made by<br />
manfred trenz working for rainbow<br />
arts. the game consists of 13 levels<br />
and every level is composed of<br />
different graphics and gameplay.<br />
mt made nice graphics and the coding<br />
is very well done, the scrolling for<br />
instance is very smoothly. every<br />
level contains new ideas, so you<br />
never get boring on playing this<br />
game. the music and the digi in the<br />
beginning sound pretty good to me.<br />
to invest your money significant<br />
simply buy this game. valuation: 92<br />
<br />
raster runner - mastertronic<br />
<br />
another proof that also budget games<br />
can be a real hit. raster runner<br />
consists of the tron-gameplay, but<br />
its convertation was very well done!<br />
music by the german music group, the<br />
sidbusters, and graphics are really<br />
good. valuation : 80<br />
<br />
blockout - electric dreams<br />
<br />
this game is a kind of 3d-tetris, you<br />
look at the stones from the top.<br />
the gameplay arises much fun,although<br />
there are nearly no graphics. v : 73<br />
