A mostly green screen
lessens the overall impact
of the game, but the
larger sprites and even
trickier play make up for
Predator's monochromatic
shortfalls.

yer way down to the Comba
School on the double, to par
take in seven gruelling
rounds of Marine training.
From a horizontally scrolling
assault course to a yomp

ups for you, my lad. Complete
the training and you're
assigned a dangerous
mission, utilising some of the
skills you learned at Marine
Camp.
This is a truly mind-blowing
conversion of the muchloved
arcade smash, which
calls on all your reserves of
strength (as well as at least
two spare joysticks!) for you
to be in with any chance of
success. Almost a scaleddown
copy of the original,
and sporting an amazing
remix of "I Wanna Be Your
Drill Instructor" from the film
Full Metal Jacket. E2.99 is a
minuscule price to pay for a
multi-event game of this
calibre,
Combat School is just
SO good, you'll want to

shaved before loading it.
First rate arcade action
at a ridiculously low
price.
