The -=FiRM=- Presents... - - - - - - - - - Blades of Steel: by Konami - - - - - - - - - Well here is the "long awaited??" hockey game Blades of Steel. After seeing the ad for this game for as long as I can remember I couldn't wait to try it out. In short, it is not all that bad although the fighting part of the game could have been improved. Anyway, I apologize for the fact that the doc check question shows up on the title screen but unfor- tunately the programmers decided to integrate the title and the doc check into the same subroutine. Not to fear though. You just have to sit back and play. One last thing. When you exit the game (at least through Ctrl Q) the timer (perhaps??) seems to become screwed up. I inadvertently found this out after I was playing the game, exited, and then entered Qmodem. My timer on there was so screwed up in 10 seconds real time about 1 minute had elapsed according to the timer. As I am not familiar with such happenings I invite anyone to suggest the possible problem. It does this with the originals also. WARNING......WARNING....WARNING.... The following is the asinine generic greeting that is expected to go into all text files accompanying pirated wares. It usually seems that the same people get greeted and that the rest of the pirate world gets treated as peons. Well to go against the grain I would like to say Hi to all my fellow pirates. Remember, you are why we do this! However, I do have one special thanks and that is a debt of gratitude to the Knack for his understanding of human nature. Thanks guy!!
