ST hao Lin, ,so they say, is a temple -of peace somewhere n the wilds of Manchuria where the monks are taught meclitatiOn. the spiritual secrets of universal energy fields, and also how to beat the doo-doo out of lust about anyone on the planet. Now you're sure to be thinking. yeah. yeah, another beat eir up, but where Chambers of Shao Lin differs from every other game of this type is in its six training sections which let you create your own fighter and build up strengths in particular disciplines Then you can move on to a five-part quest to do over a dragon While some of the tests are lust a matter of repeatedly dodging bombs or an opponent with a large stick, there are a few which are quite ingenious. In the Test of Speed, for example, your baldy on-screen hero is standing on a platform in a well with two holes in the walls. through which gallons of water are flowing' There are two covers suspended over the holes, but to cut their ropes you need to release the catches holding up two axes by hitting them with a steel ball suspended at head height from the ceiling High kicks get the ball swinging but mis-time it and you could Lay that sucker out! F e n d u p w i t h i t b e t w e e n y o u r R wmffim, EVIEW eyes. Do well in certain disciplines and you'll be rewarded with mighty strength in the dragori mission. If you do particularly badly, you won't be able to perform some of the more exotic moves. The first part of the mission is made up of four. single screen beat 'ern ups. which, as single screen beat 'em ups go. are pretty good The graphics are smart and the computer combatants are challenging opponents As I've already mentioned, the moves available are dependent on your success in the discipline rounds, but with a well-trained fighter there's a decent selection of kicks and punches The final section is fraught with dangers, in the form of swooping dragonlets and rolling rocks, which your chap has to duck and lump over. All the sections are beautifully depicted on-screen, and if you watch the backgrounds carefully there's always someone flying a kite or a Ninia falling off a verandah or something. The sound effects are sampled, and if you have a I 04051 you get some very nice sampled music as well (520 owners get standard sound chip toons) PAUL GLANCEY UPDATE Plans ore afoot for Amiga and C64 versions. A PC version of Chambers is being released by Cinemaware over in the States, so PC owners will either have to import it, or wait for someone else to distribute it over here. 4=552252Z' ST E24.99 GRAPHICS 80% SOUND 8 2 % VALUE 8 2 % PLAYABILITY 79% Doesn't have the instant playability of b u t the quest and character creation elements give Chambers of Shoo tin plenty of lasting appeal.
