I would appreciate hearing comments about these two games from Casady & Greene. What systems do/don't they run on? Do they support color? Any obnoxious copy-protection? If you were a 12-year-old, which would you buy? Herb Poppe hpoppe@ncar.ucar.edu NCAR (303) 497-1296 1850 Table Mesa Dr. Boulder, CO 80307-3000

They run on a Mac+ or greater (with color 2MB recommended). They have great color (16 colors on my Mac2). Sounds are great although I don't think as good as Crystal Quest. I like Sky Shadow as much as I do Crystal Quest, however I don't think much of Mission Starlight. I think your 12yr old would appreciate Sky Shadow. Neither is copy protected.

The sounds are good, as one would expect. I would recommend it. However, the game can be quite nasty. If you accidently bomb a friendly area, you lose all the points you gained with that ship. I can't tell you how many times I have lost millions of points because of one stray bomb. I was unable to get to to run on a IIfx. I also was unable to get it to run on a IIci running A/UX 2.0, but I don't know whether it was A/UX or the IIci causing problems. -- Robert S.
