Has anyone played ArmourGeddon from Psygnosis ? Any comments or complaints about the game ? I am especially interested in the two player mode and compatability problems with 2500/20 and 2500/30 machines. Thanks, Mark --------------------------- visconti@cis.ohio-state.edu

I am especially interested in the two player mode and >compatability problems with 2500/20 and 2500/30 machines. I just bought the game today. The smooth 3-D filled polygon graphics are stunning, perhaps getting updated 5-10 times per second on a 7Mhz 68000. You thought F-18 Interceptor was the smoothest flight simulator. Well, not any more. On the other hand, in the long tradition of European games, Armour Geddon is not hard disk installable. The flight characteristics of the fighter and helicopter, the most enjoyable craft to pilot, are not realistic. For example turning and pulling up on the joystick cause a tremendous speed loss, to the point of causing a stall. The objective of the game is in the style of Starglider II. Search search search, blast blast blast. Sigh. The manual does not mention what the two player mode is all about, nor whether the two players cooperate or dogfight. Neither have I tried the game on an accelerated Amiga. Valentin -- "An operating system without virtual memory Name: Valentin Pepelea is an operating system without virtue."

I seem to get killed real real quick even in the training mode. The game runs very nicely on a A3000 by the way, certainly the death sequences work. :-) If you have the keyboard chart... please post it, or send email. > > Valentin > -- > "An operating system without virtual memory Name: Valentin Pepelea > is an operating system without virtue."

It makes >the game ever so difficult. Yes, I did. It is not a keyboard overlay, as it should be, but rather a very wide piece of paper on which the keyboard is drawn, and keys which have a certain meaning are marked so. Unfortunately, the keys them-selves are not identified. Sigh. >If you have the keyboard chart... please post it, or send email. Of course I will not do that. No point helping out pirates, you know. I suggest you bring your box immediately back to the store where you bought it, and demand another one which has the keymap in it. Do not waste time calling Psygnosis, you'll merely waste long distance charges, while allowing your refund deadline to slip by.

Hi, forgive me for my ignorance, but I can't get armourgeddon to load past the part where is states " Put disk two in drive A". I have the fixer for disk 2, but when I put that disk in or try to load it directly nothing happens. I dont have disk 2 and I have no idea where I can gaet it. Any help is appreciated, thanx.
