<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&lt;pre&gt; hits and flops!<br /> ---------------<br /> <br /> another month passed and again some<br /> ugly games appeared which we had to<br /> test for your pleasure and enjoyment.<br /> <br /> these games are:<br /> <br /> - back to the future 2 image works<br /> <br /> - starforce digital m.<br /> <br /> - deliverance hewson<br /> <br /> - duck tales walt disney<br /> <br /> ... and here again the 'great' list<br /> of this months first releases...<br /> <br /> <br /> lords of chaos illusion+atc<br /> (a game by blade software)<br /> <br /> duck tales north east crackers<br /> (a great game by walt disney, really<br /> entertaining, buy the original!!!)<br /> <br /> prison riot dom+xds/i+t+tsm<br /> (a budget by players...boring!)<br /> <br /> havoc i+t+tsm<br /> (another one in this row of boring<br /> lame budgets!)<br /> <br /> puffy's saga north east crackers<br /> (an average one by ubi-soft, a big<br /> surprise that it got released in the<br /> states first!)<br /> <br /> starforce genesis+exodus<br /> (amazing graphics in an x-ample game,<br /> what else?!)<br /> <br /> deliverance legend+nei<br /> (by hewson, long awaited !)<br /> <br /> back t.t. future2 legend+nei/i+t+tsm/<br /> gp+xds/ils+atc<br /> (by image works,also relased first by<br /> the survivors, but not working!)<br /> <br /> womble i+t+tsm<br /> (budget by players i guess!!)<br /> <br /> atom ant i+t+tsm<br /> (another budget, this time by hi-tec)<br /> <br /> where in time is carmen sandiego<br /> this game was spread on all major<br /> boards by inc, but mirage was def-<br /> inatley first, but they are banned<br /> from the elite boards, which isn't<br /> fair!) by broderbund<br /> <br /> another nec crack. can't remember the<br /> name, sorry, but the game isn't that<br /> good anyway...<br /> <br /> back to the future 2 - image works<br /> <br /> the companies just released the 2nd<br /> part without an existing first part,<br /> only because the movie wasn't as old<br /> as the first part !<br /> the c64 version consists of 5 levels,<br /> each composed of different action<br /> just taken from the movie like<br /> hover-bording or fighting !<br /> it was hard to play all the levels<br /> as the game moves the player to<br /> switch off the computer after the<br /> first level, the graphics, coding<br /> and moving are an accident !<br /> valuation : 31<br /> <br /> star force - digital marketing<br /> <br /> surely everybody knows one of the<br /> first games appeared on a computer,<br /> called invaders, where you have to<br /> shoot rows of hostile space-ships,<br /> which are slowly moving in your<br /> direction. the german programmer-<br /> group x-ample took this basic-idea<br /> to mix it up with special effects<br /> like good graphics, special weapons<br /> etc. also the music is well done.<br /> many people liked this idea years ago<br /> so i think the motivation doesn't<br /> leave you by playing the game...<br /> valuation : 72<br /> <br /> deliverance - hewson<br /> <br /> this game also was long awaited,<br /> stormlord ii consists of 3 levels,<br /> each fulfilled with a lot of action.<br /> the plot is the same like in the<br /> predecessor, you have to shoot and<br /> jump your way through a landscape<br /> of terrible monsters and other weird<br /> stuff. the graphics are, like in<br /> stormlord, very good, also the music<br /> sounds pretty good to me !<br /> <br /> valuation : 80<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> duck tales - walt disney<br /> <br /> duck tales is a economic simulation<br /> combined with different action parts.<br /> the good graphic makes that game very<br /> playable. you start in dagobert ducks<br /> office and you can choose between<br /> three different options which each<br /> promises more action and nice grafics<br /> the only bad thing is the loader. it<br /> takes years between the gameplay and<br /> your joystick cools down like in no<br /> other game... but it's worth playing<br /> it.<br /> valuation: 83<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
