Stompers walk about, ground and flying craft zoom around, and all manner of strange, alien buildings ore scattered across the chequered plain. After a few minutes exploration, what looks like a large red crater can be found. Flying the ship slowly over the lip reveals a tunnel, down which the Icarus may be flown - yes. some planets also have huge underground chambers to explore! The tunnel winds its way down into the planet, with other passages branching off in different directions. This subterranean system is quite extensive and is the key to the game. When the Ergons invaded, the original peaceful inhabitants of the Solice System fled below ground. Finding them is of paramount importance. since it's only with their help that the Ergon threat can be neutralised. Any interaction with the underground people is displayed via on-screen text messages. Prompts and questions are answered by typing yes or no. Once contact has been made, the mission really begins. I'm not going to tell you what exactly you have to do (it would spoil half the fun) but completing the mission involves collecting, amongst other things. a crate of sweets, a flat diamond, on asteroid and a Professor who's currently leading a research team on Broadway. Its certainly a tough task, and fortunately the programmers have included a loadisave game option - without it the mission would be virtually impossible. One of the many appealing factors of Star glider II is that it can be played either as an adventure (as it should be played) or as a shoot 'em up like its forerunner (in that respect I found it far more varied and enjoyable than Star glider ever was). The presentation is without flaw. Just about every aspect of the control 'A NA' 11$17 4 . method can be adjusted. and the on-screen presentation is superb During a game, the viewpoint can be altered In a variety of ways so the proceedings can be viewed from inside or outside the Icarus. There are also options to look in all directions, which is useful just in case something tries to sneak up from behind. If you get bored with playing, there's the 'painting with Rolf' option which allows the user to look atoll the objects in the game, cycle through their animations, rotate them in any way at a variety of speeds and even paint with them! Starglider 11 is an incredible program that pushes computer gaming to new heights. I can quite honestly say that I've never been so entralled and addicted by any other game - the urge to explore is incredible. I've already spent many, many hours travelling the spaceways instead of sleeping and I'm sure that the weeks ahead will see much burning of the midnight oil! Buy it, and prepare to be amazed! lb- GRAPHICS 9 1 IP' SOUND VALUE 9 9 i PLAYABILITY 9 I OVERALL L _ _ _ _ 9 , UPDATE Sforglider Il now ls for the ST and Amiga.
