Amiga Computing - Commodore Is Awesome

As far as beat'-em-ups go on the Amiga I've
been more than pleasantly surprised by
Shadow Fighter. It could go from strength
to strength after the release of the AGA
version and finally take the beat-rem-up
crown away from games like Body Blows
and Mortal Kombat. Shadow Fighter is,
quite simply, thumping good fun.

Shadow Fighter
This is my first musical highlight of 1995 and it's
all thanks to Core Design who have obviously got
the intelligence to use someone who is skilled at
creating original pieces of high quality music that
belong in the '90's and not the '80's, The graphics
are very impressive and it's obvious theyve been
created by someone with a love for science fiction
films and comic books.

On the balance of things it beats its predecessors
because of a greater long-term incentive. The
rewards of winning the money, then spending it to
soup up my motor filled me with a boyish flush of
satisfaction - and that's the sort of thing to keep a
player going. It's got the looks, the features and the
speed to take the chequered flag. Go forth and
spend your money.
With all the new releases
available, you're probably
wondering which ones to
spend your hard-earned
cash on. Well, just take a
look below--
Anyone who played the original game and liked it
will love to get their hands on a copy of Psygnosis'
latest offering_ It's what you might call a conglomeration
of old and new. The old being the original and
incredibly addictive gaming concept, the new being
the advances in graphics and sound. These two elements
combined make for a rip-roaring, actionpacked
90-level puzzler that just gets better and
better the more you plav
Extractors CD32-Rom
Extractors is graced with some of the best graphics
I've ever seen for this type of game and is packed
to the brim with more addictive gameplay than
you can possibly cope with, There are literally thousands
of hours of play contained within the game_
Fans of Diggers will no doubt be interested in
Extractors, but I hope Millennium gain a few more
fans through this release and people don't ignore
it this time around.

A guide to how our revolutionary
scoring system works...
Were sure many of you are now familiar with ow
new storing system, but for those reading Amiga
Computing for the first time and those who might
have forgotten exactly how it works, here is our
guide to the System scoring, err system.
In our opinion, review scores have lost their context
as a percentage: some products receiving scones
which were only a few percentage short of being the
"perfect game. when in truth they were only
marginally above average.
OK, so the scores might seem unnaturally low at
first, but that's only because other scoring systems
tend to be on the high side and perhaps not as
comprehensive or honest as they could be.
In the long run you'll receive a more concise and
reader-orientated review that's geared towards the
consumer.
0-20 This is given to the lowest of the low
21-30 An all-round poor game that
may have a single saving grace
31410 Just below the average, perhaps
let down by a few indiscretions.
41-55 Games of this score are roughly average
with SO being a perfectly average score.
56-66 This is an above average game
and is worth buying. For this reason
It would be awarded the BRO
award.
61-77 A game
you as a revie n o
reservation in recommending.
Anything of this ilk would be
awarded the SILVER
90-100 The best in its genre. This
receives the PLATINUM title.
