Amiga Computing - Commodore Is Awesome

Empire
SPIDER senses are tingling.., that
evil Mysterio has kidnapped
sweet Mary lane._ got to get her
back!
If you want to help good 'ol
Spidey, you'll need two things:
The first is a strong desire to take
a tour of some old movie sets, and
the second is a copy of the game
The latter is available this very
month. so look out for it.
Also due to be released in the
next few months are Wrath of the
Demon (which apparently has 60
frames per second animation —
something we'd really like to see
on a 50 frames per second
machine) and a game based on the
life and times of Paul Gascoigne.
Can't wait.
Domark
YOU meet the nicest people at
Press launches. A case in point is
the wonderfully wonderful Clare
Edgely, from Domark.
Domark had several things they
wanted to tell us about. including
the host of Atari coin-ops they were
converting.
One is the fast and fabby
Stunrunner which should be available
shortly, and judging from
demos we saw will be well worth
waiting for.
Atari are helping as much as
they can with coding by supplying
actual game graphics. The picture
shows the outline of a graphic
which will be filled in by the time
the game is finished. Other games
being converted include Hydra.
Thunder laws and Skull and
Crossbones.
The first Russion fighter simulator
should be with us soon. too.
The version we saw on the PC
looked both playable and exciting.
and the Amiga game is not far
behind.
Other neat stuff "coming soon"
includes what could be the war
game of the decade, Vietnam.
Written by a programming historian,
this will be a complete "laboratory"
where you can try out ideas
and strategies. It's accurate, easy to
play and due out in January.
The Freescape system used in
the games Dark Side and Castle
Master will soon be released to the
general public. It's true: If you think
All the latest news on
the games software scene
you could do better that the previous
Freescape games, you'll soon
be able to have a try.
Using the three dimension modelling
system, plus a complete puzzle
programming language, you'll
be able to knock up anything from
an interactive map to an atmospheric
adventure with ease.
Infogrames
THERE certainly seems to be a
veritable plethora of games on
the way from this software
house. As well as Alpha Waves
which we took the eau out of
last month, games based on
Gengis Khan and Bandit Kings
of Ancient China will be with
us later this month.
The game that caught my
eye was the old novice magician
plot game Mystical,
mainly because the Wizard's
name looks like a typing error.
The demo certainly looked
very pretty, so keep an eye out
for it: It should be here before
Christmas.
