R EVIEW P* • //..emmiezto, 1. 51 1 C M S P E C T R U M I n the year 2029. thing's aren't I as hunky-dory as people might have hoped. Far from the annihilation of the terrorist threat so apparent in the late 20th century. each of the world's fanatical groups have joined together in a bid to wipe out Western democracy and free trading. Oh dear. Sounds like it's time to call for the Action Fighter. Five missions await corn pienon in Firebird's conversion of Sega's rather Obscure arcade game. The player begins by ripping up the road on a sleek, highpowered but vulnerable motorcycle. Every so often a letter of the alphabet wends its way V The weapons truck makes a delive 1 down the screen, beginning with A and ending with F Once all letters up to D have been collected, the motorbike transforms into an armoured car. During this little groundbased excursion you're given the chance to drive into the trailers of passing Sega trucks, gaining extra weapons. rockets (to shoot down any passing enemy helicopters) and limited invincibility in the process. Once the letter F is picked up it's time to transform once more as you shoot off the end of a pier and become a jet fighter, aiming to destroy airborne attackers in a vertically scrolling shoot 'em up. At the end of this stage awaits Watch out for the chopper! your target, which you must eradicate before the President is sues new orders. The coin-op never really took arcadesters by storm. so why Firebird took on this licence beats me As a game it's quite impressive in its own way .relying on playability rather than pretty pictures The Spy Hunterstyle gameplay is certainly addictive for a while and the transformation of game styles adds variety. Unfortunately the whole concept is too simple and, ever though play is tough, it doesn't really hold your interest for very long UPDATE PAUL RAND Amiga, PC and CPC versions are on the way. While the Amiga version should resemble the ST game, Amstrad Action Fighter will be a colourful, slightly jerkier copy of the Spectrum version. ara222ZEMZ ST L19.99 GRAPHICS 7 I cro SOUND 6 6 To VALUE 6 9 To PLAYABILITY 7 8 cYo A faithful conversion of an obscure, yet enjoyable coinop. it's fun for a while, but is by no means an essential purchase.
