First off, this is 6 disks, not 2 � � like the diz says. Secondly, they are all not compressed the way they � � should be, which is why when you downloaded this you might have been � � like "holy shit!" Thirdly, the arj.exe and the install.exe each have a � � virus, one has taipan the other the burglar virus. Still you don't need � � either of those, just arj x -y -v to a directory, it don't matter. An � � earlier version of this game was put out in a package called `Triple � � Threat.' � � � � Anyway, you probably shouldn't download this in the first place, � � because once you go to play the game, you'll see it sucks and it was a � � waste of time. Mainly the reason for it sucking is because you can't � � control the movement of the plane. That's right, none of the k/b keys � � work for movement, although they work with firing (and so does the � � mouse). There is no configuring to change it and it's supposed to work � � with the arrow keys (numlock on or off made no diff). But for your � � knowledge (or something) this is a plane game. You have your plane in � � front of you and you see enemies approach in the distance and they fire � � at you and you must avoid it. It's not a 3d game, it's more of the � � asteroids type. The sound is quite loud, but does help add a little � � something to this cheapy game. � � � � RATING : 35/100 � � � ����������������������������������������������������������������������������Ķ � � � ________________________/�|__/| ___________ � � \___ \ __ / __/ __/ / |/ ____/ __/_ � � | __/ _/ _/ _| \__ \ \/ / ) / _| / � � |___|\__\ \________ /___\__\__ \______\ � � +--------\___/�e�/aL!\/--------/_____\-----+ � � Politicards (c) Masque Publishing [1/6] � � +------------------------------------------+ � � � � Filenames : POLIPSG?.ZIP � � � � To put it short, it's 21 different games of solitaire with the � � ability to have your cards filled with the faces of your favorite � � political person (pff). So just when you thought you've seen enough of � � Bob Dole and those pointless conventions, you can go home and play a � � nice quiet game of Solitaire with his and many other faces right there � � in front of you. They have animations too if you pick the large1 type � � cards. Other than that it's just solitaire. You can also change the � � background your playing on, which is kinda nice. � � � � RATING : 48/100 � � � ����������������������������������������������������������������������������Ķ � � � ________________________/�|__/| ___________ � � \___ \ __ / __/ __/ / |/ ____/ __/_ � � | __/ _/ _/ _| \__ \ \/ / ) / _| / � � |___|\__\ \________ /___\__\__ \______\ � � +--------\___/�e�/aL!\/--------/_____\-----+ � � CRUSADER: NO REGRET *FINAL* (c) Origin 01/25 � � +------------------------------------------+ � � � � Filenames : PSGCNR??.ZIP � � � � This is supposed to be the final (game says v1.06) and the Coredump � � is being called a beta (game says v1.01). However I assue you the � � Coredump version works fine, and at least you can get sound with that � � one. This one has no sound, even though it's included, you can't � � actually set it up because the install.exe is missing files you need in � � order to configure it. Here's the review from issue #36 : � � � � "Crusader is back, and improved. While you may go and call this � � Crusader 2, it's really a little stretch to do that. This game is � � pretty much exactly like the original, except a few minor improvements, � � new levels, different exclamations from the enemies, smarter artificial � � inteligence of the enemies, and limits on your animation (bad). While � � some of you remember this game as "that one you could blow up everything � � in" you will soon find this one loses some of that fun because of the � � fact that you are limited on ammunition of even your main gun. For � � those who didn't play the first one, the game idea is simple. It's a 3D � � overview of rooms, you walk around, shoot people, shit that you wish you � � could do in real life. You have tons of weapons to pick up, and so many � � things to blow up, you could spend your entire life blowing up every � � single thing. If you liked the first one a lot, then I still recommend � � getting this one, although it just isn't as good and simple as the first � � one. � � � � If you thought the first one was so-so-good, then well you really � � don't need to check this one out, because it isn't much different. I � � would have thought they could have made some more improvements to the � � game, add some better features, and improve it a little more than they � � did. When you hit "s" it also will make an annoying beep sound (it gets � � annoying trust me) if there is nothing to use it for. Also, they didn't � � really improve on the game engine, which although good, could have used � � some bug-like fixes. Still a great game, make sure ya get the save game � � fix (which is just a stupid .com file to make a dir "savegame" in your � � game dir), and the music addon for music. Oh, one more thing, the � � install.exe you are supposed to run to set the sound, it takes quite a � � while to load, so don't go rebooting your machine when all it does is � � sit their for about anywhere from 10-20 seconds with a black screen, the � � regret.exe will also take quite a while to load up, just be patient. � � Also, there are some rumors about this being a `beta.' � � � � As far as I can tell, the game runs fine, exactly like the first � � did, and there really is NO PROOF that this is not the final. Oh and � � ONE more thing, on level 1, at one point in time you will be given a � � code #121 for those keypads, the correct # is really #122, I don't know � � if the game was designed to do that, but it's not #121. � � � � RATING : 81/100" � � � � Welp this one is the supposed final, so if you didn't get it the � � first time, get it now, and see if you can get some kind of sound addon, � � because without one it will be quite dull, although it will move a lot � � faster. Rating drops down a few points because there is no sound. � � � � RATING : 78/100 � � � ����������������������������������������������������������������������������Ķ � � � ______ ____/\_____/\_. ___ _____ __ � � /___ \/ ___/\_ _/ | \_ || _/ \/ \ � � | / / _/ \ / _/ |/\ / `' \ \ / � � :| \ \ ' \/ |/ ' | |/ \: � � :|__|\ \_____/ |\_______\____/\__/\ \ � � :[FF]:\__/::::/____|:::::::::::::::::::\_/ � � *-REFLUX 1996 PROUDLY PRESENT-* � � [========================================] � � [ M4 (c) DEADLY GAMES ] � � [=[09/14/96]=====================[01/10]=] � � � � Filenames : RLX-M4??.ZIP � � � � Well this game just about sucks balls better than that hooker last � � night.

I'm not sure what kind of scrolling � � it's called, but imagine a 3rd person scrolly adventure like Sonic, or � � Pitfall, but where you can turn all 4 directions and have your back or � � front to the camera as well.

The basic idea is to walk around � � this 3d world and kill these other bugs by jumping on top of them Mario � � style. � � � � You're also sposed to grab stuff along the way. Gameplay was just � � like most scrollies, with the exception that you can go towards the � � camera and away from it. The only real bitch I have with it, is that � � when you die, you have to start all the way back at the very beginning � � of the level. You'd think they woulda put some kind of save spot or � � something in it. (Maybe there is, but I was only able to play the 1st � � level, cuz it's late, I need sleep, and this needs to be done :) No � � problems with speed or anything else with this one though. Ran great in � � a hefty size window. You can play it in a few different screen modes, � � windowed, or about 7 full screen modes, going all the way up to 640x480. � � You must run it in 256 color, and it wont let you play unless 95's in � � 8bit mode. I can't give this one a 90+ on the points scale, cuz it just � � sucks too bad when you die, but it's a keeper! � � � � POINTS : 86 - You really oughtta leech this just to see something � � new and exciting! � � � ����������������������������������������������������������������������������Ķ � -<*><*> THE GAME OF THE WEEK <*><*>- � ����������������������������������������������������������������������������Ķ � � � - This week's GOTW goes to RAZOR for SUPER EURO FIGHTER 2000, for Win � � 95.

����������������������������������������������������������������������������Ķ � <*>CORRECTIONS<*> � ����������������������������������������������������������������������������Ķ � � � - In last week's issue (I knew I wasn't going nuts) there were two games � � in the Bubble Bobble Combo, one was the game Bubble Bobble (which I � � remembered but didn't play) and the other was some rainbow game (and � � an enhanced version of it). The .exe's were bb.exe and rainbow.exe, � � and when I ran the bb.exe it just stayed in dos, so that is why I used � � the rainbow.exe, because I was in the /game directory, and forgot � � about the bubble.bat. � � � � Anyway, Bobble Bubble is that game that was on Nintendo and was like � � really fun and stuff and that we all loved to play for hours on end. � � The only bad thing about these games is your limited to the # of � � continues and so you can't just beat the game if you played it for 5 � � hours, you'd actually have to be one hell of a kick ass player. The � � other bad thing about it is the controls, but I mentioned that � � already. � � � � The correct rating for the package + the 2 fixes is 52/100. � � � ����������������������������������������������������������������������������Ķ � <*>LEGAL MUMBO JUMBO<*> � ����������������������������������������������������������������������������Ķ � � � THIS MAGAZINE IN NO WAY WHATSOEVER, CONDONES THE PIRATING, STEALING, OR � � ANY OTHER ILLEGAL MEANS OF OBTAINING SOFTWARE.
