be in the main section.
-Thanks to asistler@freenet.vcu.edu for the new ascii at the top, wasn't

-Rating scale:
                 (0-19)/100 = In a nutshell, it sucked!
                (20-39)/100 = Still crap but slightly better.
                (40-49)/100 = Possibly worth downloading.
                (50-69)/100 = Pretty decent game. Might want to check it out.
                (70-79)/100 = Worth the download if you like that type.
                (80-89)/100 = Very good, 9 outta 10 its worth the download.
                (90-99)/100 = Excellent game, a MUST download.
                    100/100 = HOLY SHIT I'VE NEVER SEEN A BETTER GAME!

RATINGS are based on the game idea, graphics, sound, playability, ingenuity,
versatility, and a lot of other words ending in `ity'.  These games are based
on what happens on MY COMPUTER ONLY, unless stated otherwise.  I always first
follow nfo directions, and if those don't work or are not available, I then
try other ways.  So just b/c it doesn't work for me, doesn't mean it won't
work for you.

This is a very hard to beat scrolling shoot em up.  Rather than just a plain
ole game though, it incorporates missions and talking to people, buying
weapons, finding out secret info, etc.  The graphics are very good, no music,
and not so hot sfx.  Not really worth the 22 disks unless you get a kick out
of scroll'ems.  It's really hard to beat a level though, because you got non-
stop shit flying at you, and a ton of enemies on the ground shooting at you.

Here's the registered version of this racing car game that had a demo out
back around mid December <it was not the full version, and this therefore is
not a dupe>.  It's basically a typical arcade style racing game.  There's
only about 5 tracks which you can race on.  The graphics are pretty low stan-
dard and the sound is upbeat.  However, racing around in circles will event-
ually bore you to death, since you can't shoot or anything, just race.  Good
control capabilities on turns though.

     VR Soccer '96 (c) Interplay [X/8]
Well they can rename it "How to pick up a hooker" for all I care, it's still
the same game as Actua Soccer.  The one difference?  The name.  Hoodlum and
later Razor both released "Actua Soccer" <the same game> a while back ago.
So here is the review from the past which contains a previous quote of the
review.  Kinda like a story in a story, except it just has absolutely nothing
whatsoever in the world to do with stories.  PS: Make sure to get the digital
sound addon/fix for the sfx.
       "Razor, 6 disks.  Hoodlum released this back in issue #2 of TGR, so
since this is only the disk version <plus commentary>, and since it's getting
late and you have to install this to and from disk, let's just quote...
       "Hoodlum?  Back from the dead?  Wow, and impressive release too.  The
intro was kinda neat, nice sound to it.  The game is soccer, but with those
virtua fighter looking characters.  The movement is fine, and the graphics
are semi decent.  However the camera angles can get a big annoying, because
it forces your movement towards a destination to change to left or left-right,
etc.

Some lame adventure game where in the intro you see a miniature Santa Claus
babbling away about some shit that he's been making toys for children for the
past 400 years or some, like who the hell is going to believe that.  Anyway,
you're on some quest <of course> and you're trying to do something, I don't
know what.  You find stuff in this big mansion or something, and you use it
in the places it needs to be used according to how the programmers felt like
making it used.  Get's boring quick, and the christmas'y music will make you
want to puke.  And the little elf narration makes you want to beat up some
small dork.

-A way overdone detailed 3d adventure game.  It's nothing special, and it's
not worth the 69 disks and/or the addon.  Having no sound makes it even more
boring then it already is.  You travel from futuristic planet to futiristic
planet in nice svga graphics.  You talk/use/open/push/take/etc until you man-
age to do tbe right thing and get on with the game.  It's not easy at all and
it would take you a while to even figure out how to get around anywhere.
It's just not worth the download, plus it takes up 214 megs both installed.

      DUKE NUKEM 3D * 3D REALMS [01/11]
+-------------------------------------------+
One of the most awaited games of '96 came out two days after TGR stated it
would.  The SW version of DN3D had us slobbering over this as it slowly came
on the net.  The somewhat awkward date arrival had some of us question it's
authenticity.  However, as you probably know now, it is of course real.  Make
sure you got the "good" disk 6 that was not the duplicate copy of disk 7.

So you've played the SW over a million times, and you just can't wait for
more.  The two new editions Lunar Apocolypse and Shrapnel City.  Lunar Apoc.
is the spacey scenario.  The nice planets can be seen out the windows, and
you can quickly pick up a bunch of new weapons such as the shrinker, a laser
something <I still don't know how to work it>, some weapon that looks
similar to the generic weapon in Hexen, and a total destruction weapon, which
is by far a total destruction weapon.  You're all hyped up about finnaly
being able to play it.  You start your game, start exploring, you get a key,
you open a door, you shoot a guy, you find another key, open another door,
shoot a guy, open another door...  Suddenly you realize something, "Hmm this
isn't a lot like those two first levels in the SW version, the ones everyone
seemed to like the most."  You continue on, meeting only some new characters
to kill.  Pretty soon it hits you, you're dissapointed, it wasn't what you
had expected and hoped for.  Here's a quote of one person who played it <HR>,
"too much find key a to unclock door a to get key b to unlock door b shit."
And that is exactly what it was.  The SW version was very misleading, and in
my opinion, better than the other two levels.  Now don't get me wrong here,
THE GAME IS STILL VERY GOOD, it's just not what most of us expected.  So you
try the Shrapnel City level, hoping for a little change.  And it is a change
from the Lunar level.  It is in the city, and it does somewhat resemble level
2 of the SW level.  Still, the game leans toward the doomish atmosphere, lots
of underground water areas, not enough "street scenes".  People want to play
these game, but they want to play it in an atmosphere similar to what they
see everyday.  Perhaps a school, a mall, or an amusement park would have been
better areas.  The `tunnel like' atmospheres have begun to bore us, and we
want more real life like areas.  DN3D still is by far the best game out there
right now, despite how negative I might sound about it.  It still has those
great Duke comments like at the beginning of Shrapnel City, "I'm ready to
kickass and have some bubblegum and I'm all out of bubblegum".  There is
still close attention to details, still porno, and still plenty of secrets.
Maybe we can just hope that someone will make their own level of real-life
like atmospheres to let us enjoy this great game.  Basically though, everyone
should still download this, unless you despise Doom type games.  The sound
is fully functional <music + sfx>.  We can hopefully wait for a level and
sound editor to spice it up to our own style.  If you have a modem, you
should definitely be getting this or already have it.
        After using the cheat code for god, (dnkroz), and the one for all the
weapons, (dnstuff), I decided to give Shrapnel City another shot.  I started
having a lot more fun, simply because I could explore easier and not have to
worry about being killed.  As you proceed in episode 3, you'll notice that
the levels become more city like, and eventually you get to a level with
trams.  Anyhow, Episode 3 (Shrapnel City) is much more similar to the SW
version (Episode 1) rather than the Darkforce type Episode 2.  On the way to
beating the game, I ended up singing karaokee (Duke: "Born to be wild"), and
an announcer at a radio station (Duke: This is K-T-I-T, K-TIT, playing the
breast...er best hits on the radio.)  So I ended up getting to the final
level, which takes place in a football stadium against this enormous sized
dude.  After you finnaly beat him, 3D Realms adds in some more of their cre-
ativity and does a nice animation of Duke kicking the dead monster in the
head, knocking his eye (I think) out and over a field goal post.  Duke then
goes "Game Over".  I thought that was pretty cool.  To sum it all up, you
should definitely get this.  If you don't feel like you're going to get to
involved into it, you should just put the cheat modes mentioned before on and
walkthrough the game and explore the neat things you can do (always hit your
open door button on microphones and chicks, it could provide some nice enter-
tainment).  And definitely beat the last level on Episode 3, after that, you
get to hear Duke Nukem have sex with some chick.

This is an excellent collection of 5 screen savers (only one of them sucks,
it's the carnage meter>.  It has a shooting gallery one, a one where shit
blows up, one where you blow up the people and screen, and one where the guys
just drop to the floor and die.  It's really well done and kinda cool to keep.

A shitty Wolfenstein 3D like game for windows.  Graphics are pretty bad, I'd
even say that Wolf3D's were better.  Lame sound fx and music.  All around
it's just a lame pathetic game.

Well I unarj'ed the first one, then the second cd, just like the nfo says.
I then ran cyberia2.bat and the intro loaded up fine, but when it got to the
part where it said "Welcome to Cyberia" it locked up.  The second time it got
past that, but the screen was just all a bunch of junk.  Several others had
problems getting it to work too.

Please note: Either from Cyberia 2 <more likely> or Blake Stone, I received
