S i n t /MUM SUPPLIER: GREMLIN GRAPHICS S. PRICE: E1195 to REVIEWER: TIM The kung-fu game rears it's oriental head again this Christmas. We've had Fist and Vie Ar Kung Fi.i II the , nfollow o w up to Gremlin's Way of the Tiger. h This e ris ea mixture ' s of the current Gauntlet fad and good old arcade adventure. 300 screens of adventure to be exact. It's only a one player game — but it does have a Gauntlet style screen and four-way scrolling. But the characters sometimes appear side on while the scenery is still seen from above, which gives an odd sort of perspective to the game. It looks OK, mind you. The all important story line goes like this. Having successfully completed your training in Way of the Tiger, of course! — you are now ready to avenge your stepfather and take back the scrolls of Ketsuin from the wicked Yaemon to appease the God Kwan and release him from eternal hell. Your quest starts outside Quench Heart Keep where you must find the keys to gain access. Once inside you must kill the TERMINUS A At E2. 99, Terminus is a Christmas bargain. Terminus, explore, avoid or kill the many guards and hopefully free the boss, The four Wanglers all have different abilities which can be used in different parts of the prison complex. Mobod and Xann: These move by flying. Once their thrust/energy drops off, they get grounded until they can recharge. The indicators are at the top centre of the screen, under their name. As with all four Wanglers their suits protect them from the energy fields and hostile objects as long as the batteries are charged. Magno: An expert cat burglar who can hang from the ceiling. handy for getting him past most traps, as long as there is a ceiling to cling to. Spex: He can walk around, but prefers to bounce everywhere, steering around in the air as he does so. To get him to climb vertical shafts is difficult at first, but once you get the knack this is one useful character! Teleports link the different security zones. The main system will return you to Command centre, where the rest of the gang wait. There are recharge units throughout the complex which replace lost energy in the AVENGER L VISIN AION. .. 11.01 I k I 1 M E 'a! t t 1 a M i e , t M i • I u' A ' t• , 11 t • • r • n ' _ f I a1 T =it o ft•-• 6E . 1,411, 111, OMMIEMnIMMIMME1111410,=••• - vimilmommemommomilm. •••111 I , 0111FIEEN 4 A Avenger's a game for kung le and map 0 three - guardians of the keep. and inner force.

Wangler suit batteries, if you can find them. There are energy locks restricting movement around the complex. They are controlled by computer activators which look like huge TV sets. At the left side of the screen is a platform. Standing on it will turn the machine on selecting one of four possible doors. Leave the platform when the arrow on the screen points to the one you want open. To the right is the teleport receiver_ Stand on it to "login" your position. Your scanner has a range of 1/16th the width of the prison cells and 1/22 of the height. At any one time, therefore you can only see Vsizth of the entire complex. Terminus is a vast, sprawling game. At C2.99, you can't fault ! . G R A P H VALUE PLATABILITY while you search. Keys are the key to success in this game. Plan which doors you open with the first two you collect very carefully. Some doors have more keys hidden in Sthe rooms which lie beyond — others don't. Be careful going through sideways doors. You have to position your character just right to get him through. At first I thought I had to collect something before I was allowed through but no, I just hadn't placed my character in the right position. There are six levels of the Keep to explore — all packed with baddies to beat up. Be careful as most of them are intelligent and will follow you about unless you knock them out. Graphics are interesting and the sound is good — with some nice spot effects. There's also lots to do and the feeling that IF you could just open one more door, a whole new world would be revealed to you! Avenger isn't a stunning game— but it is pretty playable. One for map fans and a worthy follow up to Way of the Tiger. P.• GRAPHICS I. SOUND VALUE PLAYABILITV 7 7 7 7
