Guardian is set in the future in a shrinking universe only a few light years in diameter. Different life forms are battling for the last resources and it is your job as a 'Guardian' to protect the remaining human species In theory the objectives sound fairly simple but as always, the reality is far different. You have a nice big spacecraft, armed to the teeth with weapons, and with it you must destroy the Dronoids - alien craft armed with Tritium bombs. You track them down with your scanners and choose whether to Guardian re a lly looks smooth e ve n when the screen becomes cha otic Theme Park is now available fcr your CD32. Bullfrog's hit bus. ness sim, which requires you tt build your own amusemen ,park, has been tweaked enhanced and made all that b- -nicer for the CD version_ Yo, tart ! off with your piece of lane and can then go on to build rides galore, hire staff purchase shops and attractions and everything else that will turn you' park in to a success story. However, life isn't that easy. There are other, greedier, entrepreneurs trying to lure the Joe Public into their parks instead. It's not just a case of building the biggest and best attractions either, because being a shrewd businessman comes into it too. Yot, have to negotiate salaries, plan your site, and keep an eye on the little people's opinions. Luckily they don't keep their thoughts to themselves because a memory bubble appears over their heads letting you no if they are hungrytthirstyttired of walking/think your park is a con etc. and you can alter your park accordingly. Graphics are superb and will make the most hard-hearted go "Aaah." Each ride has been well animated and even the little sprites are endearing. The sound effects work well too and create the atmosphere of the park, with children laughing in the background and music playing for the different rides. Three different simulation levels enable you to play the game as simply or as complex as you want. Sandbox level is for beginners and you won't have to worry about all the finaqcial decisions. The next level brings in some of the managerial aspects where you'll have to negotiate with staff and so on, And if you want the proper business simulation you can play on Full level, whereby all the finances are down to you and rivals can buy shares in your park. The differences to the CD version are mainly cosmetic and the intro has been improved.

You can perform backflips which allow you to get enemies in your sight, and with the enemies following different patterns of attack things get very challenging. The 3D polygon graphics still look good and the action is incredibly smooth. Sound-wise it isn't bad, especially with explosions, bangs and engine roars going off left, right and centre - you really do get the satisfying blast-'em-up feel of the game. The gameplay is fast and frantic and as you progress things become very chaotic - it 903 the adrenaline pumping, making it an excellent example of its genre. Al200 owners should thank their lucky stars that this is now available and if pure blastem-ups are for you, then I'd say this is an essential buy. 82%
