El AMER'S DELIGHT 2<br />

Gamers Delight is another<br />

compilation CD courtesy of<br />

Schattruhe, and basically its<br />

based along the lines of the<br />

Assassins disk. This, too, is<br />

also the second in the series<br />

but there were certain flaws<br />

in the menu system then_<br />

With this CD being designed<br />

by a foreign company, the translation comes across<br />

differently.<br />

For example, instead of platform games being referred to<br />

as 'platform games', they were referred to as 'jump and MI',<br />

which in fairness is no real fault of their own, it just looks<br />

odd. The cursor to select options was a very faint colour, and<br />

straining your eyes to make Out what you were going to<br />

A MINET SET 2<br />

Everybody who's anybody will have<br />

seen, heard, or even used the<br />

Arninet series, either on the past i<br />

CD-ROM series or via modem. All the 'k<br />

time, people are uploading their software<br />

for use on Aminet's extremely<br />

impressive collection. Since its launch<br />

there have been nine CD-ROMs and<br />

these all contain the latest software for<br />

that time. Therefore, if you happened<br />

to own the entire lot, you would probably<br />

have the most comprehensive<br />

library of <strong>Amiga</strong> software to date.<br />

G.T.I. are back to distribute the<br />

famous Aminet Sets, and already they<br />

are on to their second in the series. The<br />

entire package is not cheap, at E34.95,<br />

although for your money you do get four CDs absolutely<br />

packed with gorgeous goodies that were uploaded in<br />

November.<br />

The CDs are split into categories - the first containing the<br />

AMIGA COMPUTING<br />

FEBRUARY / 99 6<br />

!Kr<br />

select was imminent Garners Delight 2 has now made an<br />

appearance containing 1070 games from different categories.<br />

There are 70 commercial releases, so don't expect Public<br />

Domain, and an example from the 'Jump and Run' category<br />

would be 'Go Kevin Go' - sounds great. There are various<br />

other games called Gardener, Rollerball, Willi Wacker and<br />

Bals, I suppose that sums up the CD quite well.<br />

No CONTEST<br />

It may not be as polished as the Assassins series, but it's different<br />

The games may be unheard of, and they may not be<br />

of outstanding quality, but that's certainly not what you<br />

expect for E26,95.<br />

Although the Assassins compilation is the same price, it's<br />

double the quality. I don't think there's any doubt which one<br />

you should go for.<br />

utilities, documents, text and business software; the second<br />

contains pictures and graphic software, the third contains all<br />

the fun topics such as games and demos along with more<br />

utilities for use with your hardware; and the fourth and final<br />

CD is entirely dedicated to music modules, samples, and<br />

Comms software.<br />

There is 850Mb of music modules that any music fan<br />

would gladly pay E35 for. The Aminet<br />

series is and always will be<br />

the greatest compilations<br />

to date. With its excel-<br />

lent <strong>Amiga</strong>Guide<br />

database allowing /<br />

you to access /<br />

everything, depacking<br />

and reading<br />

from a click of<br />

a button, this is the<br />

definitive compilation.<br />

Well, until<br />

Decembers comes out<br />

anyway.<br />
