 (C) 2000 GAS 1913

 Today's analysis of new games in mind
Employment him permanent lead
Maxx'a, I will lead, GAS 13.
Relatively new products, primarily
I will say that if something is brought to mind
it's good. I know this
number of unfinished projects that
already dizzy. And many of them
were to become simply a masterpiece. So
Now, each of the reviewed games here
better than any sverhnavorochennogo project
modernity, remaining on the diskette in
authors.


                 "Pontoon"

             (C) Strangers

 Computer-version of the world-
game. Nice intro and nice graphics.
That's probably all the positives.
The main disadvantage - playability. Rules
simplified - the ace can be 1 point,
as possible to take 4 cards.
Almost 2-3 minutes is enough for
victory, after which the toy is no longer
be interesting and simply takes the place of
on the disk. And not small. 581 Sector -
no joke.

 The most unpleasant thing I think that
implementation of the game obviously take a lot of
time. It remains to hope that the authors
do not let his hands when he heard not the most
rave reviews about his game, and make
conclusions and will continue to work, as seen
creativity.


              "Clickmania"

          (C) Optical brothers

 Just a great game for all
parameters. If you are fond of logical
games - be sure to take "Clickmania".
Before her were two variants of transcriptions
pisishnoy Toys "Cickomania" - "Kluxer"
by Jeez '"Gift 4 Diver" by
CyberJack / LFG. The new version of the course
surpassed the previous version. Pleasant
intro, great design ... Possible long
continue the transfer of positive
parties. But let's say a few
cons ... The most noticeable in comparison with
CyberJack'a option - the size of
squares. Often it turns out that
you find yourself not quite the one in which
methyl. About balance
levels, I would argue. Most
Points can be earned at level 4, on
At least two thousandth line I
been overcome only by the fourth
level.

 And despite these trifles, this is the best
puzzle game lately.


              "Tower Pod"

           (C) Stall studio

 The regular arrangement pisishnoy toys.
And enough quality. Contains
all the attributes of a multi-level logic
games passwords, gradual uslozhnyaemost
etc. Frankly, I have not found
nothing that could be improved
(Except music, but this is
subjectively). Everything is done as
should be in this kind of games.


               "Dizzy A"

             (C) Rezident

 That's another version of the adventures
Dizzy. A long time to wait for the fans
this game is a new release. Next part
the rest is practically nothing
distinguished. Sprites are stripped not only of
original parts Dizzy, but also from
our first option. Frankly
saying such a drab disappointment.
None of that happy, for example, Dizzy
X - wholeness. "I have it collected from the
that was ... "Also, not enough
a mystery. All in the mind ...
It's simple ...

 However, like all of Dizzy, beat the game
it was interesting. At least not yet
passed - not abandoned. As usual, not
missing features save / load. One can understand
brothers, Oliver, in their time, it was
excusable, but in 2000, so you can
was to finish this nonsense. Especially,
sometimes drowned, revived again in
water and 3 lives as usual.

 In the intro there is a message that it is not
last part, that in our conditions,
Of course, not a fact. And still want to
believe that if we see part B, it
will be more elaborate.


             "Adventurer"

         (C) T't and Proxima

    Disk version by BrokImSoft / Rush

 Most likely in Russia this game before
Release BrokImSoft nobody saw
so it makes sense to include it in the section
"NEWS". Czechoslovak game released
in 1991, will give odds to many
modern toys. Management
Recalls Bloodwych, but contains one
significant negative - no deliveries. In
Otherwise, pretty interesting game
certainly deserves attention. There
Built-in card, but I'm advised there
would draw their own, so both
built-in location is not indicated
subjects, and when the card is at hand
much more rapid movement.

 I take this opportunity to thank
BrokImSoft for a wonderful release.
