This is one RD from M the vaults called Breakthru I — a sort of Moon Buggy with extra-added violence. C You are in charge of a giant E armoured vehicle on a mission : E 8 , 9 9 to rescue a revolutionary fighter aircraft stolen by the bad guys. You have to drive this beweaponed bus though five sectors, fighting your way through defenders and natural hazards. Before you start the game, the screen shows you a map of the area you have to cross. First are the mountains—full of minefi elds and enemy soldiers, You also have to avoid rockfalls and landslides — as well as run 0000set SUPERSTAR PINGPONG MAC- . , S uppu p. PRICE: (9.95 • Ow REVIEWER: CHRIS lltdP te4 This game is Pingpong plain and simple_ You can alternate between 01, various options, different speeds and colours— but .s. the game is still the same. When the 9ame loads you are presented G with an option screen, which is manipulated with the joystick, according to your OL own skills and preference. The options include such D A Breakthru is a fun ond reasariabfr playable game. It should hove been UPI a budge, release. flame-thrower tanks hiding in tunnels between the mountains, Then comes the bridge — more defenders, aided this time by missile firing vehicles. The bridge has been blown up by the defenders to prevent your progress so you'll have to use your vehicle's amazing jumping power to the full. Then comes the wide open spaces of the prairie where ultimately you'll have to find your way over a things as speed, view of table, and power adjustments to various shots that can be used. For example, if you want your backhand to be more powerful than your forehand, then reduce power on the latter and add it to the backhand. What's the game like to play? Well, once you start, the screen is displayed in either 3D or "fl at" like the old Atari console. To be honest. I preferred it this way, You can serve by just pressing the button and watery barrier. The last lap is the city where the enemy forces throw everything at you — make it through the streets and you'll reach your objective — the airfield. Here you have to leave the safety of the battle wagon and make a run for the stolen jet. Flamethrowers will singe you, bullets will whizz past your ears. The graphics are colourful — although your battle wagon watching the ball fly over the net. If you put the speed on "hyperdrive" and then hit the ball with your most powerful shot, just watch it fly! The rest of the game is played fairly simply, it just follows the rules of Pingpong. Except for the fact that you can ask the computer to make your paddle fly towards the ball, leaving you time to catch up on your stroke timing etc. You can change the colour of the ball when in pause mode, but this seems pointless to me. looks a bit weedy. Breakthru is a basic shoot 'em up n o more, no less. I'd say it's a bit expensive for what you get. As a budget release it would be brilliant value. But as it stands, I think Breakthru 9ets a resouding "Hmmmmm!' on the C +-VG Gameometer. VALUE RATABILITY One of my friends who is hoping to take up Table Tennis professionally, and who is a computer fanatic, played this game with me on two players. He thinks that it's nothing new and is not even as good as the old Atari version. I have to say I agree with him. GRAPHICS SOUND Ov• VALUE p• PLAYA/HUTT 7 8 3
