he Gamer Gold is a compilation courtesy
of Grandslam, containing
Jetstrike, Bump 'n Burn and Nick
Faido's Championship Golf. A flight
simulation, racing game and a golf
game? Will it work?
Firstly, Jetstrike was released about a year ago
on the CD32 format, it was basically a flight slm
that adopted a different way of playing. Instead
of the usual cockpit view. Jetstrike was viewed
side on - a lot like Choplifter from many years ago.
The idea is to select an aircraft from a huge array
and take it through many different selected missions.
These range from taking recon photographs
of the enemy's positions to landing on the
opposing side's runway to rescue some hostages.
The floppy disk version, which was released
around two years ago, was very difficult as well as
being slow and jerky. Fortunately on the CD32,
none of these problems have been resurrected
You can select from a vast amount of planes
and helicopters, and every plane you could possibly
think of exists within Jetstrike, Spitfires, Falcons,
Vulcans, Bombers, and Apaches are all available
for selection, Jetstrike is well presented, has good
gameplay and packs a real challenge. Certainly
a good start for a compilation. Nick Fori•s

Championship Golf was released rather a .;Ir
time ago and received a highly creditable awc
in most magazines. On the CD32 format, nothir
has changed - it's still one of the most playa
and realistic golf games available. The n
instantly recognisable feature is the cacid
Although they made an appearance on the
py version, they weren't that much use.
Now though, they will gladly hurl abuse at
or praise your shots extremely vocally. Bill, the
ticularly sarcastic caddie, will do anything
make you angry. The actual animation of NI
Fold° taking the shot has improved too. On
whole, all the graphics seem to have had
tweaking to iron out any glitches. What makes it
pleasure to play is the fact it does play like r
golf. There are plenty of challenges and courses
keep you going.
Bump 'N Burn isn't that well known am
Amiga owners - I'm sure only a handful have ac
ally played it, I think it was released when roc
games were in their prime, and because of
Bump N' Burn didn't even get a sniff.
Basically, it's a racing game whereby you h
to survive the Bump 'N Burn championships, The
are several tracks of Toonia's seven kingdoms
through these you will be expected to get be
and better until you are ready to compete ogai
Count Chaos - the unbeaten champion.
Bump 'N Burn is nothing special. The graphics
don't particularly boost quality, and it doesn't ruil
as smoothly as it should, but as it's on a corn
tion with two other great games, you can't red
complain - not for E.29,90 anyway.
