;""""""""""""""; #REVIEW SECTION# ;""""""""""""""; by ORACLE/TSR 1. summerhaze 2. robocop 3 welcome to the REVIEW SECTION of the link, and yes, with yours truly ... ORACLE. most likely you turned to this chapter coz all the other sections were boring, especially CABBAGE!! (eheh). no offence stigs !! anyway here we are with the following items SUMMER HAZE and ROBOCOP 3. i would have reviewed popcorn 2 and atoms music collection, but i did'nt get them quick enough. SUMMER HAZE by metro. [[[[[[[[[[[ summer haze is a very cool graphical released. code wise maybe not so hot! but i guess breeze designs main point to get across is that their graphics are more important. enough of this and other details. metros demos began with a stationary fade in/out charset, don't ask me the size!!. anyway this built up to a nice full screen hires picture featuring summer breeze. the next load, had a summer design logo, split in half, and placed vertically on each side of the screen. in the middle featured a vertical up scroll (sprite). the next load, showed some of metros art, with a cool junkwaffle with a summer haze logo on top. the next screen is a very cool picture of turrican, which i thought was brilliant. the second last part featured a breeze logo with two speakers either side. with them reacting to the treble and bass of the music playing. and finally the last part showed a breeze designs logo abreviated, quick but effective. of course all metros piccy's right through were HIRES, however does this allow for SLOPPY CODE. once again graphics wise the presentation was great but its beginning to seem, (now metro is back in hype), that all the his demos are to be, is a hires piccy with a 1x1, single colour scroll anyway i'll let you decide ? 8.5 out of 10 for GRAPHICS 6 out of 10 for his CODE IN ALL A COOL DEMO ROBOCOP 3 [[[[[[[[[ well next up robocop 3, a game, which has been recently released. the game seemed a piece of shit upon first impressions. the intro showed a a boring robocop picture which, was'nt even hires and then the game play, on wolf style, seemed very un-original, however the later levels consisting of horizontal scrolls seemed a little better. the graphics in the game were ok. better than the robocop 2. the cracked version i got with three cheats. unlimited lives unlimited power skip levels after 2nd level. the level skip was lame if you hated the first level and especially wanna fuck it off. oh well such is life. 6.5 out of 10 put it this way, i would pay money for it!!! and so ends the REVIEWS for THE LINK. stay tuned for more next issue ORACLE/T.S.R. ;""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""; #fire button to return to main menu# ;"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""";
