Red Storm Rising will be out for the amiga in a matter of weeks! followed by M-1 and F-19 by september. BTW Pirates! (just out) works on a 3000 under 2.0!! Microprose says all their games (but not the ones the import will work on 3000s) In other news Mike Farren told me SSI should be release Storm over Europe for the Amiga soon....

Hi,
I've been having a great time playing the game Red Storm Rising. It's
by the same author of Silent Service. The difference lies in that Red
Storm Rising is about Modern submarine warefare with modern weapons and
equipment. It is something akin to 688 attack sub, however, RSR to me
is much more sophisticated than 688 attack. Especially in weaponary
and gadgets of the nineties.
I do have a question however. On some of the missions, you are told to
travel to north west of Tronheim, or the Podgarny penusula or some
other place to lauch your ICBM's, or to intercept a convoy. Well, here
is the probelm. The darn thing didn't come with a map, and there is
nothing on the ON-SCREEN map that tells you where your targets or
cities are!! 3 times already, I was busted for not nuking a airstrip
or a industrial complex, but I couldn't ever find the bloody things!
Anyone have any ideas?? Other than that, I love the game.
JK

But I did ask around and the map should have come with your stuff. If it didn't why dont you just contact MicroProse. I am sure that they have some sort of policy that will allow you to get the map.

It appears they forgot to include the map in all Amiga packages. I thought only my package was missing it, so I did not complain. Randell has the IBM package in his office (next door to me), so I merely photocopied his. The only difference between the Amiga and IBM packages are supposed to be the disks and the keyboard overlays. We have both noticed another one. I would give you a verbal description of the city locations, but that would allow pirates to fcigure out how to play the game. If you have a FAX, give me your number, and I'll send you a copy.

May i suggest a few hours in your local library with an atlas & photocopier? It certainly helps to find such places for Red Storm Rising, & also to design Empire & suchlike maps.....
