Hugh Poynton investigates the latest news<br />
stories in the <strong>Amiga</strong> gaming scene<br />
Good news for the <strong>Amiga</strong> this month. Guildhall and<br />
Vulcan appear to be largely responsible for keeping<br />
the <strong>Amiga</strong> format well supplied with quality games,<br />
both old and new. Guildhall is releasing a selection<br />
Gun Fury<br />
One of the Guildhall '97 releases is Binary<br />
Emotion's new thinking man's shoot -em up -<br />
Gun Fury. Despite the slightly disturbing sound<br />
ing working title. Binary Emotion's latest release<br />
looks like it will be a challenging puzzler/shoot *<br />
em up.<br />
The aim of the game is to repel waves of alien<br />
invaders with your - as the camp bloke in Allo<br />
Allo used to say - 'liddle tank'. The aliens are var<br />
ious colours and as you shoot one, your tank<br />
turns that colour - you can then only shoot<br />
another alien of the same colour. A fairly simple<br />
premise, but often the simplest games are the<br />
best Gun Fury should be ready in a few weeks,<br />
so we'll bring you a preview as soon as we can.<br />
nevus news<br />
of veteran titles that many PC owners will be secret<br />
ly wishing they could get their hands on and Vulcan<br />
is continuing to expand its impressive range of new<br />
games.<br />
Genetic Species<br />
If you have Aminet 15 or have been downloading files from<br />
the Aminet, you might have come across a remarkable game<br />
called Genetic Species. Although it looks like a very profes<br />
sional product, Genetic Species was in fact developed by a<br />
young Danish coder, Per Bloksgaard. Part of an informal<br />
scene group called Ambrosia, Per has been developing the<br />
game for the last two years on his <strong>Amiga</strong> 4000.<br />
The latest news is that Genetic Species and Ambrosia have<br />
been signed to Vulcan software, virtually assuring the success<br />
of this potentially huge <strong>Amiga</strong> game. Developer Per intends<br />
to make the final version of the game networkable, so maybe<br />
the <strong>Amiga</strong> will have its own Marathon within the year.<br />
The storyline isn't hugely different from any other Doom<br />
clone, in this case you are a soldier with orders to destroy<br />
genetically altered aliens that have overrun a moon base. As<br />
in Doom, various weapons lie around the playing area wait<br />
ing for you to pick them up and waste some Extra Terrestrials.<br />
Vulcan believes that Genetic Species should be nearing<br />
completion within the next three months so keep your eyes<br />

Sixth Sense Investigations<br />
Epic Marketing is to publish a new game from called Sixth Sense Investigations. The game, being developed<br />
by Swiss developers CineTech, is a comedy graphic adventure about a buddy buddy detective team who<br />
solve the problems and mysteries of their rich clients. The twist is that in their investigations they are aided<br />
by the spirit of a sarcastic old bloke.<br />
Written in a style reminiscent of Sam and Max, Sixth Sense Investigations makes use of the VEGA graph<br />
ics adventure system which allows it to run at 50 frames a second and enables the player to zoom in on<br />
the various characters. The A1200 based game should be ready for release by April.<br />
peeled. Graphically impressive alien bashing action from Vulcan<br />
