RPG fans might also want to check out the following Dungeon Master-like (first-person view) games: Captive Cross between Dungeon Master, Starflight, and BattleMech type games. Only problem is that there are no puzzles to solve other than the ones involved in trying to figure out what a device does and how to use it. You do need to use some of the devices to get into certain parts of the bases, but the game mostly involves fighting and equipping and upgrading your 4 mechs. Nice graphics and sound, though it would be more exciting if the nasties made more sound when they were stalking you. Corporation Smooth scrolling dungeon type game. Highly rated. I don't have it, so you'll have to check old messages for reviews or see the review in Amiga Action. Xenomorph Saw it at the store, but haven't played it. Graphics look good from the shots on the box. I'm interested in a review of this one. Eye of the Beholder This is the first of a new series of first person RPG's from SSI. It is supposed to be available for IBM and Amiga, but I couldn't find it for either machine. The VGA graphics in the Ad look good. After 2 years it looks like the Dungeon Master interface is catching on. I'm glad, since DM spoiled me to the point where I can't stand to play Bard's Tale and Ultima types of RPG's. Hopefully, the game designs will be of the same quality of Dungeon Master. DM's interface was not enough to make the game a classic---the way the authors used the interface to construct clever puzzles, the multiple "solutions" to various aspects of the game, and the gentle tips along the way all combined to make DM the best RPG yet. ---Todd -- Todd R.
