FLIGHT SIMULATOR II<br />
SubLogic<br />
713 Edgebrook Dr.<br />
Champaign, IL 61820<br />
*****<br />
This computer gaming legend reaches<br />
its finest incarnation in the longawaited<br />
AMIGA version. The graphics<br />
are superb (as you might expect), with<br />
multiple, sizeable zoom windows for<br />
simultaneous views from a variety of<br />
perspectives. Fly either a Cessna 182,<br />
or a Learjet 25g. Fly in real-time thru<br />
a detailed world (10,000 by 10,000 miles<br />
with a .01 inch resolution!) and buzz<br />
familiar landmarks in major cities.<br />
Multi-player feature supports flying in<br />
shared air space (requires 2nd computer<br />
and cables). BEGIN<br />
collection with this one!<br />

This game's graphics have set new<br />
standards for computer games. The<br />
detail, color, and animation in this twodisk<br />
graphic adventure are<br />
breathtaking, and the music is<br />
impressive. The gameplay, while<br />
adequate, is the weak link in this<br />
game. It is just not as involved or<br />
varied as other games involving the<br />
taking and holding of territory. This is<br />
only_ the first in the Cinemaware series<br />
of 'interactive movies', and we hope<br />
that future releases will uphold the<br />
high graphics standards set here while<br />
providing deeper gameplay. -MB<br />

SUPER HUEY<br />
Cosmi<br />
415 N. FigueroaSt.<br />
Wilmington, CA 90744<br />
•••<br />
Playing Super Huey made me wish that<br />
SubLogic would hurry up with their<br />
own helicopter simulation. Cqsmi's<br />
flight simulator has plenty of detail and<br />
thought behind it out it just doesn't<br />
come together. The thing that really<br />
spoils this game for me is the hokey<br />
animation : those flat 'cutout' symbols<br />
(pictured right) sliding by are as phonylooking<br />
as an Atari ad, and are a real<br />
waste of the AMIGA'S abilities.<br />
Everything else is pretty standard<br />
except the documentation, which is<br />
weak and minimally illustrated. Save<br />
your $$- better things are coming. -BD<br />
THE PAWN<br />
Firebird<br />
74 N. Central Ave.<br />
Ramsey NJ 07446<br />
**** +<br />
This is an innovative game in many<br />
ways. The excellent graphics screens<br />
are on pull-down windows so you can<br />
scroll them up out of the way if you<br />
want to. The parser is capable of<br />
understanding the subtleties of English<br />
far better than other adventure games,<br />
though it is still stumped by the<br />
unexpected. The music is some of the<br />
best we've heard on the Amiga, but it<br />
would be nice to have it play during<br />
the game as well as during the title<br />
screen. The Pawn's story is good, the<br />
characters are interesting, and the play<br />
is entertaining. You'll like it. -MB<br />
