* GAMES : NEWS AND REVIEWS * <br />
<br />
* since the CHRISTMAS rush, the releases<br />
on both 16 and 8 bit formats have been <br />
very sparse... one of the SLACKEST pe- <br />
riods for years. <br />
PSYGNOSIS have just released LEMMINGS <br />
which could turn out to be the biggest <br />
computer release of the year. <br />
it was supposed to be released at christ<br />
mas, then januari, and the official date<br />
is now FEBRUARI 14 on all formats inclu-<br />
ding PC. <br />
one of the main reasons for the delay on<br />
LEMMINGS is nothing to do with bugs but <br />
because more PARAMETERS have been placed<br />
in to the programme. <br />
this will enable it to be converted into<br />
console without any changes. the other <br />
big news on LEMMINGS is that it is going<br />
on ALL consoles, and i mean all: LYNX, <br />
PC ENGINE, SEGA, ETC. <br />
<br />
<br />
* the SIERRA graphic adventure KING'S <br />
QUEST V is just released and it's said <br />
that it's brilliant. sierra products <br />
will be available to amiga/st owners <br />
from LATE FEBRUARI. <br />
* the first programme of the coders on <br />
SPEEDBALL II with RENEGADE called GODS <br />
will feature some really hot music by <br />
NATION 12. never heard of nation 12 ?? <br />
well, one of them, john fox, used to be <br />
part of ULTRAVOX. <br />
<br />
* the follow-up to MIDWINTER, one of <br />
MICROPROSE's biggest hits of 1990 is due<br />
out on all formats in MAY or JUNE. <br />
continuing the "FLAMES OF FREEDOM" story<br />
it sees the midwinter isle saved from <br />
the threat of invading horses some sixty<br />
years ago, now facing an even more dan- <br />
gerous enemy, the eartg's climate. <br />
as the best atlantic federation agent, <br />
you must execute secret missions on each<br />
of 41 islands, each task requiring you <br />
to use different physical, mental and <br />
psychological skills. <br />
* a HOT tip from the recent show in LAS <br />
VEGAS for all SEGA MEGA DRIVE owners: <br />
SONIC THE HEDGEDOG. loking a bit like <br />
felix the cat, sonic gets himself out of<br />
some really frantic action by rolling in<br />
to a ball... <br />
* also on MEGA DRIVE is SWORD OF SODAN <br />
from EA. the graveyard sequence in this <br />
brilliant game could have come from the <br />
thriller vieo with hands coming out of <br />
the ground to grab you. <br />
* the follow-up to ELVIRA by HORRORSOFT <br />
will be a thrilling combative interacti-<br />
ve action adventure. <br />
you are the leader of a squad of sol- <br />
diers in the barnese JUNGLE and have to <br />
use your own initiative to survive not <br />
only the rigours of the jungle but also <br />
a determined ENEMY! <br />
the working title of this new adventure <br />
is MITCH. <br />
* GRAFTGOLD's next release from MIRROR- <br />
SOFT will be FIRE AND ICE, a really cute<br />
platform game featuring a rather large <br />
DOG with flapping ears who has been evic<br />
ted from his artic homeland. <br />
the stork pays a visit and delivers a <br />
bunch of PUPPIES which muggle must lead <br />
to safety through a host of scenarios, <br />
including underwater scenes. <br />
what makes this game different are the <br />
LARGE SPRITES and the SIDE-ON presenta- <br />
tion. <br />
expect to see this out in SEPTEMBER. <br />
<br />
* STELLA 7 also from SIERRA stella 7 <br />
for PC woners is a futuristic arcade ga-<br />
me combining strategy, hi-tech weaponry <br />
and 7 levels of action as players defend<br />
earth from areturans. <br />
* GAUNTLET the first of three from US <br />
GOLD gauntlet 3d has wizards and mystery<br />
as you explore an island looking for <br />
food that has not been poisoned. <br />
* CYBERCON III a treat for sci-fans who<br />
fight and puzzle their way throught 350 <br />
rooms. <br />
* SUPER MONACO GRANDPRIX converted from<br />
the SEGA this will have more authentic <br />
tracks, scenery and car responses pro- <br />
grammed by ZZKJ who's credits included <br />
super hang on. <br />
close attention has been paid to the <br />
AERODYNAMIC feel of the game and it <br />
responds like a dream. it has rear mir- <br />
ror viewing and features the 16 authen- <br />
tic formula one tracks. for all you <br />
techy fans, on 16-bit machines the back-<br />
drops are only bitmapped and not vecto- <br />
red, but still it looks great. <br />
it will be released on ALL home computer<br />
formats around EASTER. <br />
* SWITCHBLADE II GREMLIN have produced <br />
the sequel to the original switchblade <br />
in which hiro defeated havoc and saved <br />
the land. <br />
two centuries have passed and havoc has <br />
risen again. the only person who can <br />
stand between him and victory is a <br />
distant relation of hiro. <br />
each of six levels have 100 screens, do-<br />
zens of enemies and have a massive range<br />
of weapons including machinegun, flame- <br />
thrower, shuriken and lazer. <br />
it's due out on amiga/st in march. <br />
