Mamba 07 ch05 Hits and Flops

  y0 girls and boys !!!

  after making many reviews i decided
  to change this column a bit.
  i will keep on testing some games,
  but only in a short way.

  therefor i invent a new service for
  the reader : from the next issue on
  i will list up

  1) the first version of a game !
     (i look on the bbs's for that!)

  2) the best version of a game !
     (only i have seen of course!)
  rules:

  1)
  the first 100% crack in the states
  counts, if a game need some days to
  be fixed, i count the first version
  sent by modem to the u.s. !

  2)
  no re-releases, no magazine stuff !!

  3)
  i also count us-games !
  not the first fixed version, but the
  first version given to the states
  counts !


  rules : (for the best version!)

  1) as i don't see all the versions
     are made, you have to send me
     a short message to the mamba plk.
     don't send your versions to our
     legal!!! mamba plk, just send a
     short message and i contact you!
     if you think you made several
     best versions , then list them up
     and send it up to the 10th of each
     month.
     don't complain of you made the
     best version and you didn't send
     a message about it to the plk !!


  2) only 100% cracks count !

  3) no games older than exactly
     2 weeks, otherwise your version
     doesn't count !


  yep that's it, hope you will like
  this new idea, also send your
  opinion or advices to improve this
  new way to
              mamba red.
              XXXXXXXXXXXX

              XXXXXXXXXXXX
                               'plus'

  now i continue with the normal
  game-tests :

  the games i reviewed (very short)
  this month are :

    cloud kingdoms - logotron
    blades of steel - konami
    olli & lissa 3 - ionis software
    yogi's great escape - hitec
    f16 combat pilot - dig. integration
    astro marine corps - dinamic



            hit it...

        cloud kingdoms - logotron

  cloud kingdoms reminds me a little
  bit of rock&roll, the game concept is
  the same. the title music sounds nice
  and the graphics are good looking.
  you have to steer a ball through a
  labyrinth in order to escape to the
  next stage!         valuation : 69

        blades of steel - konami!

  this nice ice-hockey simulation from
  the states contains many options and
  a good gameplay. the design of the
  game is also pretty good.   val.: 85

     olli & lissa 3 - ionis software

  another game in the olli & lissa
  serie. this game contains no music,
  but funny effects and average
  graphics. this game can keep you in
  front of your machine. valuation: 60

       yogi's great escape - hitec

  you are yogi bear! you have to solve
  different courses like the park etc.
  the short musics sound bad and the
  graphics look ugly, the sprites are
  only expanded.
                       valuation : 21

 f-16 combat pilot - digital integrat.

  this flight-simulator is composed
  of many nice options and a good
  gameplay. you can select different
  missions like hammerblow or tank-
  buster.              valuation : 76

      astro marine corps - dinamic

  this game, reminding me of after the
  war, contains only ugly graphics and
  an average sound (mon). the gameplay
  is bad and the fun by playing is
  equal 0.
                        valuation : 14
