to future game programers : Make them look Cute !!! I am starting to get tired of these games that use near realistic graphics. The one that use tons of digitised pictures to convey a sensation of reality. (psygnosis type). Really, there are very few cute games on the amiga. - Bubble Bobble . - New Zealand Adventure . Do I hear Giana Sisters ? Nahhhh . Cartoony but not bunny cutsy graphics. Does Cutsy rule out shoot-them-ups ? Not at all. Remember the old Apple II and C-64 game by Broderbund called DROL ? cute to the limit with the finger on the button of destruction. A non-stop blasta-thon. How about a simple Lode Runner conversion for the amiga ? Where are all the dynamite programers who worked for Synapse softwares (R.I.P.) (doesnt Blood Money -Psygnosis- look like Zeppelin - synapse softwares-) and for Broderbund (before they got out of the game business) (what "Where the hell is Carmen San Diego ?" is a game ????). (remember the simplicity and addictiveness of David's Midnight MAgic ?) How about Epyx ? I have never been impressed by their games. (well perhaps Imp. MIssion on the c-64 because of the digitised sound). EOA ? IFF standard is dying outside of the USA. The (majority of the good) games are being imported and programmed from abroad. Sierra ? IBM gfx in an amiga box. Did the creative spark move to europe leaving the USA with just the memory of things past ? fast loaders , viruses , state of the art graphic tricks seem to come from Europe ... Come on Guys wake up !!! think about it ... DW .

Very nice, an older game, totally well behaved, comes with level and icon editor. Buy it if you like strategy maze games. But if you buy it, *DON'T* do what I did & throw out the box.
