P. S : US GOLDiCOSM1 II. PRICE(' Rolia9: 14.85(01SM C84 It. REVIEWER: , TIM No, a Super Huey isn't something Australians do after consuming too much Fosters. It's a terribly sophisticated helicopter. And this simulation is the sequel to last year's terrific flight-sim from Cosmi. Super Huey 11 offers more missions, more controls and more reading matter! You'll need to spend at least a morning reading up the flight manual. Fortunately, the comprehensive instructions also include quick start details, so you can be up and flying within a matter of minutes. Actually achieving something once you are up is another matter entirely Navigation is the thing you'll really have to come to grips with to get the most of this simulation. Othewise you will just hover about in a fairly aimless fashion. The Huey is equipped with an impressive range of navigational equipment — arid you could be forgiven for thinking that you need to be a real pilot to understand it all! Perseverence is the key. If you played the original Huey simulation you'll find taking off and flying pretty easy. Even if you didn't come across - 'MACHINE(' - Ito SUPPLIER: RADARSOFTt ARIOLASOFT IP PRICE E8.95/E12.95 (DISK) to REVIEWER: CRRIS Hopeless! What a name for a game. It's almost like trying to stop a game selling before it hits the streets. Still, back to the plot! Hopeless is a game about Al Blunt z and his battle against the Manic Monk. The Manic Monk has kidnapped Al's girlfriend. Being a hero. Al sets of to rescue her and destroy the Monk. Good for him! The Monk has transported the captive and himself to a far - away solar system. So Al grabs the nearest space shuttle and heads for the stars. On reaching the Monk's lair he discovers that he has set up a defence system which consists of hearts! Yes, computer controlled hearts are all that stand between you and the lovely Jane. Oh, I forgot to mention the first game it won't be long before you're up in the wild blue yonder. Then it's just a matter of learning how to use the on-board computer, navigation systems and generally managing to feel at home in the cockpit. You can select any one of six missions from the menu. They vary in flying skill requirements and navigational ability. Some are pretty straightforward blastthe-enemy type scenarios. Others are more complex flying missions. The missions are: Renegade: A UH1X helicopter has been stolen by a madman who threatens to destroy all the bases in the area. Only the UH2X has a chance to stop him. As a challenge, he has sent a message saying he will follow a square course from base to base and will save the main base for last. However, he has not said which direction he will be travelling in. Try to intercept him. That gets easier as more bases are destroyed. Brush Fire: The rolling hills of California are burning again. With UH2X's new fire fighting abilities, you can help. Get location reports on the computer and get there fast! Remember, fires spread. The longer it takes, the more damage is done. Fighting the fire with UH2X is like a bombing that there are also at least ten or 11 different nasties all after your hide as well. Nice to know you're wanted! Al has some of the most modern equipment to enable him fight his way to the heart of the system. In his kit he has a laser. Pretty obvious what that does S P I I • • • p • I t PER HUEY II E L F E N C E 0 . 4 0 • 1•11t0 TOZOLE • . ; 1 1 = run. Fly over the fire using the thermal image and release the Co2 when the hot spot is centre screen. Hovering over the fire to release Co2 may put the fire out more quickly but the helicopter's external temperature will rise quickly too. Ifs up to you which method to use_ You must return to base to refill the tank. Gulf of Terror: You are on carrier duty in the Mediterranean. Your job is to report on possible terrorist activities. There are gunboats and submarines patrolling all the shore and hostilities could flare up at any time. It is inadvisable to fire on unprovocative vessels but you are free to defend yourself if necessary. Oil Fire: An American Oil Drilling Operation has come under attack by hostile intruders. The rigging has been set ablaze and working crews are in jeopardy. The UH2X, with its fire fighting, defence and rescue abilities has the best chance of dealing with the situation. Bermuda Triangle: The A defence shield. This produces a wall of energy around Al destroying anything that comes in contact with him. You can't move when this is active. And also a jetpack. This gadget allows you to fly around the screen instead of walking. On top of all this lot, you can resort to the good or karate 1 fir •19r lll . . . . , hurricane season has come to the Florida region. The UH2X is assigned to weather reconnaissance in the infamous Bermuda Triangle and no other information on your mission is available because no one really knows what will happen in "the Devil's Triangle." Arctic Rescue: At a Scientific Station near the Pole, the UH2X encounters some of the most severe conditions for flying possible. Researchers may get lost in a blizzard, or fall into constantly moving crevices in the ice, or other helicopters may go down in gale force winds. Super Huey,/ is a very slick flight simulator. It's not one for beginners and it won't appeal at all to zap fans. It's simply too complicated. Complex, challenging and interesting to attempt. Super Huey II will go down well with those hard-to-please flight fans everywhere. GRAPHICS SOUND VALUE ?LAVABO-4Y chop and kung fu kick — is as good as any laser. Just ask Chuck Norris. Besides that, all the gadgets use up energy which, as any gamester will know, is extremely rare these days. You walk around the screens about 200 in all which scroll smoothly. The screens are full of ladders, nasties and terminals. Terminals can do different things, from teleponation to giving extra power to your weapons. Your character is small, animation is crude and general effects are boring. Still, graphics aren't everything. Are they? This game is — no, I'm going to be cheap and say 'Hopeless' — fairly standard and is nothing to get excited about. But, for all you heroes out there. Jane needs to be rescued. Quick! P. RAP O.
