(40-49)/100 = Possibly worth downloading. (50-69)/100 = Pretty decent game. Might want to check it out. (70-79)/100 = Worth the download if you like that type.

RATINGS are based on the game idea, graphics, sound, playability, ingenuity, versatility, and a lot of other words ending in `ity'.

They never said it was actually IN HEBREW. I tried to under- stand it, but I just couldn't. Baruch ata adonai elohaynu melach ha-olum. Or something like that, anyway, I did run it, but it's hard to read Israeli comics. One thing I did find funny, was the pictures of the guys looked more like spanish people then they did Israeli. But then again I don't live in those shitty third world countries, so how would I know. RATING: NA/100 POWER: THE GAME (c) IBM [X/6] _____________________________________________ \__¬ - ________¬ ./__¬ - ________¬ __/ \\__/ - \\ / \\__/ \__ | \\__ \\__ | \\__ /_____| ./_____________./___| ./ [=======|______/===================|______/=] Power is a game of strategy that blends chess-like military maneuverability with the best of multi-player excitement. It's a whole new world of power and intrigue. Note - Full Modem/Serial/Network/Inet Support! [================================[05/05/96]=] Some said this is a dupe, I believe ya, but I just don't remember reviewing it or playing it. If it is, I also take partial responsibility in the duping so sorry ;) . Anyway, it's a strategic war game for windows. You move your little planes and people and blah blah shoot em. Kinda reminded me of the game four corners, even though they have absolutely nothing in common, but having four corners. Not too exciting, but nicely put together.

There back, only this time, there not as fun. The title of this game is totally indescriptive. Although you play paintball, it is only to hit one of your munchkin buddies in the head to see them drop to the ground and "puff" there gone. One hit kills them. This game is much more of a puzzler. Instead of hitting the little green haired freeks, you do alot more pulling switches, or flying on a balloon across a lake of fire. The games funny in a way. When you put your self in a cannon and go flying across the lake, then the little doink lands on the ground and bounces up and down a couple of times, then dances around with a top hat, or even stumbles up as it walks up the stairs, you just sit there and think, heh. Although the animation is smooth, the graphics blow. Its a pain to move the little rats around the screen and shoot the right guy, or even move from one plateau to another. I did get a chance to play it over the net. It ran decent for me, but between each game the damn thing kept disconnecting from the other person, so i gave up on that. If your a die hard lemmings fan, and are really into err.. semi-puzzlers grab it. Otherwise, screw it :) RATING: 38/100 Power Slave (c) 3D Realms ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ ÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜ ±²° ÜÜÜÜÜÜ Û²²Û ÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜ Û Û±±Û ÛÛÛÛ '96 ² Û±±Û ÜÜÜÜÜ Û±±Û ÜÛ Û²²Û Û²²Û ° ° Û°°Û ÛÛ Û°°Û Û°°Û ÛÛ Û°°Û Û±±Û Ü ° ² Û²²Û ÛÛ Û²²Û Û²²Û ÛÛþÛ²²Û Û°°Û Û ² ± Û±±Û ÛÛ Û±±Û Û±±Û ÛÛ Û±±Û Û²²Û Û ± ° Û°°Û ÛÛ Û°°Û Û°°Û ÛÛ Û°°Û Û±±Û Û ° ÛÛÛÛ ßÛÜÛÛÛß Û±±Û ÛÛ Û²²Û ÛÛÛÛÜÛsz! Ä[05/07/96]ÄÄÄÄ ßßßß ÄÄÄßßßßÄ[xx/03]Ä Here's another 3D shooting game. This one takes place in more medieval times and so you start off with a sword. Oh but isn't technology amazing, the very next weapon is a gun, just sitting their waiting for you back in 1500's or something. Anyway, the graphics are actually not to bad on this one. The game still lacks anything as good as we've seen, like a jump button, der. Not impressive or anything, not really worth the bother.

It reminds me of those nintendo sports games with the fat-like people. The game is pretty lame, but what did you expect for 2 disks. I don't know why motiv8 gets all hyped up and juicy about this one, it's a piece of crap.

The intro was semi-good but the game is just another boring sim. The graphics are pretty ugly and the sound is bleh. Not much to say, the whole world is blown up by nuclear warfare, and you're like one of the few to surive and now you gotta rebuild everything. So hurry up and get those damn phone lines working ;) And go outside and repair the cable so you can watch some Spice, oh shit, no people=no nudees = shitty world to live in. Maybe that's why the made the game so shitty. RATING: 29/100 /\. . ____ / >______. . _____.____ ____:. .: \ \ /_\___. \__::> /:\ Y /'96:.

CHAOS OVERLORDS FOR WINDOWS '95 (c) NEW WORLD COMPUTING [X/5] The game installed fine with no problems under win95. It took me a little while to figure out exactly how to play the game, as the online help really wasn't that helpful. Basically it's like a reverse Civilization or Colonization. You are a Gang Leader and are trying to take over the city. You have sectors which you "influence" the business owners to pay you $$$ for your protection. With that money you can hire various warriors to work for you and you can equip them with all kinds of weapons and armor. The graphics aren't that great, and there is only a statistical type combat, but if you enjoy strategic takeover the world type games, you'll enjoy this one once you figure out how to play it.

You're a racoonish type character, and you punch your way to enemy bosses and collect crap on the way. Gay music, cheerfully bright scenes. Lame anime for an intro. Just a pretty boring game. However, a younger bro or sis might like the gayness. Also make sure you overwrite the shakii.exe by putting the .exe in the 6k arj over the existing one from the other arjs.

Others had lots of problems or didn't get it to work at all. It kept coming out with dos4gw errors and yes I rebooted cleanly. Like I said back in a talent show, in elementary school, where I did a magic trick and fucked up "Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't."

It's a win/win95 strategy war game. It's got some nice graphics, and you get to click "ok" a million times for errors and setup. The game is very complex with little itty bitty details. Good game for strategy fanatics, but to the rest, just a boring game.

It uses the same engine as Doom did. It's pretty shitty graphics and all, but it adds a touch of RPG to the game. You talk to people, and if you don't like em you can still kill them. It mighta been better had the graphics been better and if it didn't take place in such medieval looking times. Not really worth 27 disks, maybe if it were like 5 or something it might be. The weapons in the game really suck too. It has all the modern functions , but no duck.

(I'm sure I'll even get criticized by a teacher for that run on sentence). The games include things from unscrambling words, to finding out patterns, to decoding secret messages. It's pretty fun if you like to challenge yourself, but after a while you'll be like "why the fuck am I doing this?". It's perf- ect for teachers though, which is kind of stupid because they can't even fig- ure out how to work the VCR's in the school, neverless a computer.

It's arcade like. It sucks though because you can't pick the guy you want to control, it just picks the one that is closest to the ball which is quite annoying. It's like impossible to score or do anything, it sucks, and it's really frustrating. It's like trying to take a shit when you've just eaten a box of matzah.

Occasionally I do get SS and review them, especially if they sound interesting. This one is really cool. I just wish that they would do the Bud-weis-er by themselves. It has the 3 frogs sitting on a lilly pad, with a Budweiser sign behind them. You hit ctrl-w, or b, or e, to make them say "bud" "weis" "er". It's really fun, and cool to have. Impress your friends!

TONY LA RUSSA BASEBALL 3: 1996 EDITION (c) STORMFRONT STUDIOS [XX/35] It could just be my slow computer on this one, even though I meet the system requirements, but the game moved at like one frame a second . And the background crowd noise moved at the same rate too. It's kinda hard to play the game when it takes 2 minutes for the guys to get on the field. How- ever im sure it works better for you people with leet pentiums and stuff, coughsomeonecoughcardmecoughone. It's still a good baseball game, it's got all the options you could ask for, although I don't remember seeing a homerun derby in it or modem play. It's got all the stadiums and it has jumbotron. A good baseball game if you're looking for one, but if you really plan on playing it a lot, you might have to end up buying it anyway, nuless Napalm puts out the speech pack like they said they would.

Only problem is trying to figure out how to do stuff. Some docs for this one might be a little helpful. It looks like fun, but it's hard to figure out how to do stuff. This game could be really cool, if it just had an easier interface and not so many complicat- ing things in it. Might want to check it out if you got some time and are willing to explore this. So you don't think it's immediately lame when you start, I suggest hitting the "live action" button and start exploring shit that way.

I don't know why people seem to like this, it's pretty boring if you ask me. You just hold down spacebar and dodge little dots. The graphics are however pretty good. The sound and music are average. The difference b/t this one and the old version must be new levels and options . RATING: 53/100 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- <*>THE GAME OF THE WEEK<*> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This weeks GOTW is a tough one. Since win95 games don't qualify, because I can't review them, Chaos Overlord doesn't have a chance. This week's GOTW would have to go to NAPALM for their release of TONY LA RUSSA BASEBALL 3: 1996 EDITION. It's the first baseball game out, and it's pretty good if your computer can handle it.

You are supposed to do the first arj, play it, beat it, and then do the second arj, however it still didn't work, it was missing a .m95 file. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- <*>LEGAL MUMBO JUMBO<*> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- THIS MAGAZINE IN NO WAY WHATSOEVER, CONDONES THE PIRATING, STEALING, OR ANY OTHER ILLEGAL MEANS OF OBTAINING SOFTWARE.
