Eintly chasing up a review copy so well hopefully bring you a
;review next month. It's by a German team, and pro-
;rammed by Stefan Schlott - a name previously unfamiliar to
; lot of you, including me.
Basically, yes, its another Doom clone, although this one
appears to be slightly
more special then the
rest. For instance the
new virtual i glasses will
be compatible, and vir
tual reality is something
which Doom on the PC
has yet to feature.

Gloom competition results
durrah! We are pleased to announce that after
lifting through the many mail bags of entries we
lave found a winner to our Gloom competition.
Admittedly. it did take us around 2 or 3 minutes to
octually find one. And as we promised. we have
printed the winning entry.
We received some excellent entries Including
one from James Stansfield from Jersey who sent
us a disk! Wow, it was a very scary disk - it was a
grey. Clever that. When our Technical Editor suggested
we see what was actually on the disk,
there was another monster! Blimey he's spent
some time thinking up that.
Another good entry was Yorkshire lad, Liam
Walker's Angel of Death. He drew it from all
different angles and for a 3-year old it was a
cracking effort!
Michael Garcia's Aguantos was also very
good. And there were three of the funniest entries
ever. Firstly David Torres from Watford and Javier
OsOno from New York kindly set us in their entry
form without an entry. Good try lads, but the
sheer audacity of it will win you absolutely nothhg

a recent upload from Aminet. Inc graphics ran at a horrific
rate and the sound effects were the best yet on any other
Doom clone. The explosions were pretty graphic and It plays
far better because you have to collect codes from various
computers dotted around the maze to unlock the doors.
Also on Nemac IV you con select the screen size from
absolutely anything as well as the resolution.

'Specie'
ond and third place we shall award Liam Walker
and James Stansfield for their efforts with a copy
of Gloom.
Finally, the winner is... Asa Margetts and his
marvellous Specie. Congratulations - the CD32
and Gloom will shortly be in the post. Be patient
though!
