Think again! TFW Will now be app- earing in RCN. As long as there are games there will be TFW! Q-Ball & CyberPhreak SECOND EDITION JOKE... It was a beautiful day out. A certain pair of uninhibitted people were feeling extra daring so they decided to go out to a field they knew of and get naked and have romping, wild sex. When the couple arrived at the field they began to rip each others clothes off. Suddenly the woman stopped and said, "Wait, do you have any condoms?" The man looked at the woman in disbelief and replied, "Uhhh...no." Just then the man remembered that there happened to be a convenience store just around the corner. Without thinking he began to sprint to the store not even worrying to get dressed. As the man rushed to the store the woman screamed out behind him, "And get a pack of smokes, too!" When he reached the store he asked the immigrant behind the counter for a pack of condoms and a pack of cigarettes. After getting what he had come for the man burst from the store, but to his surprise there were three nuns walking his way! The man didn't know what to do. He couldn't let the nuns see him like this! Then, an idea came to him. The man threw himself back against the wall outside the store, ending up right next to the vending machines, hiding the condoms and smokes behind his back. As the nuns got closer they noticed the naked figure standing against the wall. The first nun said, "My, my! They do come up with the strangest ideas for these vending machines nowadays!" Then the second nun said, "Hmmm...why don't we try it?" They all thought this was a splendid idea, so they all got out a quarter to use in this new-looking machine. After some deliberation they all agreed that the money was to be placed in the "mouth" of the machine, so the first nun put her quarter in the man's mouth. "Uhhh...now what do I do?" asked the first nun. "I think you pull that 'lever' down there," the third nun said pointing to his groin. So, the first nun grabbed a hold of the 'lever' and began to pull. Not knowing what to do, the man put out the hand holding the condoms. The other two nuns asked the first nun, "So what did you get?" The first nun replied, "Hey, I got some condoms." Seeing what the first nun got the second nun stepped up to the man. She followed the same process, pulling the man's 'lever' yet again. This time the man put out his other hand that had the cigarettes in it. Again the other two nuns said, "So what did you get?" "I got a pack of cigarettes," said the second nun. By now the third nun was fairly anxious to have her turn at this nifty piece of 'machinery'. So she stepped up to the man, put her quarter in and commenced pulling of the lever. Not having anything left to give, the man didn't know what to do, so he just stood there. The other two nuns asked the third, "So what did you get?" Nothing was happening so the nun kept on pulling and pulling and pulling... nothing was happening. After a few minutes of yanking on the 'lever' the nun exclaimed, "Ahhh...." "WHAT? What did you get?" said the other two nuns. "Oh...," said the third nun, "just some hand lotion." ^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ IN THIS ISSUE WE'VE GOT A HELL OF ALOT OF GAMES TO REVIEW, SO BEAR WITH US.

This game sports some nice graphics, and easy gameplay. However we have yet to figure the purpose of the 30 meg sound file since we get no sound no matter what we do. Playability -- 90% Was quite easy to figure out to use the arrow/ctrl/alt keys to pass/shoot/move. The characters move like you would expect in a basketball game. Ingenuity -- 70% Seen it before....NBAJAM was the same type of game. Space Jam added something with it's inbetween-quarter arcade games. You can play certain games during the breaks, but for what purpose we don't know. It does not raise your score, or make your characters better....oh well. Graphics/Sound -- 75% We were upset that there was a 30 meg file eating the hdd which didn't even give us music. The graphics were a bit blurry, but eye appealing. There was also 10 megs of credits at the end that was totally unneeded unless you want to know eveyone who works at acclaim by face. GamePlay -- 80% Well....it is basketball....games go by quickly...you don't get stats and stuff, so it is simple. inbetween quarters there are arcade games with no purpose. Overall this is a good game. OVERALL 78/100 ^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ HUNTER/HUNTED (c) Sierra [xx/31] ________________________/»|__/| ___________ \___ \ __ / __/ __/ / |/ ____/ __/_ | __/ _/ _/ _| \__ \ \/ / ) / _| / |___|\__\ \________ /___\__\__ \______\ +--------\___/≈e≈/aL!\/--------/_____\-----+ RiSC - RiSC - RiSC - RiSC Wow, a really, really good 2D scrolling game! I haven't seen one of these for a very, very long time. Sierra has the right idea. In the game you are a guy and some sort of minatuor-type beast, you switch on and off about every other level. The game is really easy to understand and the graphics are very nicely done. If you like those great 2D games like Mario Bros. and that type then this is a definite download. I downloaded it thinking I was gonna have another crappy game to review (cough-Mutant Penguins-cough), but to my surprise the game was great. It kept me entertained for almost an hour before I remembered I had reviews to write...you know what they say. "All play and no work makes for no reviews." And I know nobody would want that. Playability -- 95% This game could be figured out by anybody, and when I say anybody I mean a large rock with a piece of wet brocolli strapped to it could comprehend the way everything works. (But I'm not gonna make any promises to you guys in Razor.) I mean, come on, the game feeds you hint after hint on the easy level. In other words, it's VERY EASY to play. (Just make sure you check which keys are which in the options!!!) Ingenuity -- 85% I don't ever remember a game where you were both a human and a beast. I'm sure there were, but I would have to say that this is one of the best 2D games I've ever played. The enemies are different from any others that I've seen, and the way the levels are layed out is new as well. It's new. Graphics & Sound -- 85% The graphics in the game really rocked. The background was cool, and the characters are just awesome! The sounds were similar to other games of the 2D genre, but they were much better than the norm. In general, the game was just cool. GamePlay -- 91% COOL, COOL, COOL...this is all I have to say. I thought the game was really...COOL! You have a mission for each level and you do it and end the level. The only minor problem is the slight feeling of repetition, but it is very, VERY slight. OVERALL 88/100 ^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ WWF In your House (c) Acclaim [XX/43] _ ________________________ _____ ________ _ \\_____ \_____ \_____ \/ . \\_____ \\ dZG/\ __// _ |/ ____/. | \/\ __/ _/ \ \/ /_ _/ /_ | ! _/ \ \ \____\ \______\_________|_____\____\ \_ =======\___/===∙1911∙CD∙DIVISION∙======\___/ If you like to watch a whole bunch of big, hot, sweaty men whose muscles ripple beneath their spandex outfits while they attempt to make an audience think that they are really hurting each other then this is the game for you. Yes, folks, it is the infamous wrestling game released yet again. This game has been put out in almost every format, game system, arcade, and now pc... yeah.(He said unenthusiastically.) When I downloaded this game I was pretty sure that I knew exactly what the game was going to be like, but to my surprise...wait, no, there was no surprise, I was right. It's the same game! If you haven't already played this game, or some variation of it, on any other game system or in the arcade then I don't know where you've been for the past decade. Playability -- 40% Hmmm...you don't know what the buttons are, you can't change them, and you have no idea what the "special" moves are. The only thing that you do know is that you're supposed to beat up the other guy...BUT HOW???!!! Ingenuity -- 10% HAHAHA!!! I can't even believe I'm writing anything in this section. Sorry, but it's old. Graphics & Sound -- 20% The grahics were basically horrible. It was like the 80's all over again. Uh...can we say VGA? The sounds were almost as bad. Justa whole bunch of grunting and hitting noises. GamePlay -- 25% After I had finally figured out the keys and what they did I tried to play the game...wow, so much fun. You have six or seven moves that I could figure out, and the computer is coming out with all the guns, although that might be six or seven moves as well for all I know. I think I can sum the game up in two words...VERY BORING!

Playability -- 30% Uhhh...Czo ja robie teraz? Znalazlem kubek z wodol dla konia ktury szika do kubka, y ten kubek bierzes do piekasza, y on czi daje pretzla, ktury dajesz do starej baby....y tak dalej. Nowoscz -- 25% Quest For Glory 2. Z lasko. Grafiki i Dzwiek -- 20% Tak. Byly. Game Play -- 10% Yeech....jedno slowo....Mutant Penguins! Bylo popularne w europie!! OVERALL 22/100 The poor polish programmer who left this game to razor in a time capsule ten years ago also left a small review which we are lucky enough to have. We have included it here....if you can't understand it, you probably aren't polish, and hence would not like the game. ^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ BATMAN - THE ARCADE GAME (c) ACCLAIM [01/09] ________________________/»|__/| ___________ \___ \ __ / __/ __/ / |/ ____/ __/_ | __/ _/ _/ _| \__ \ \/ / ) / _| / |___|\__\ \________ /___\__\__ \______\ +--------\___/≈e≈/aL!\/--------/_____\-----+ This game was a shocker!! Who would have thought Killer Instinct could be put on a 2d scroller?? Well this is as close as you will come! And for 9 disks, how could you go wrong? By the way, if anyone beats Shadow Master's 150 hit combo, tell him he sucks!! Playability -- 90% Change the controls....helps alot. Other than that, it is easy as can be. You beat up the bad guys. Ingenuity -- 83% Can't say I haven't seen this type of game before....10000 times. There are some new things though. Like Combos. Best part of the game is doing a 100 hit combo in holo mode! Graphics & Sound -- 75% Could have used some better sound!! The sound of glass breaking just is not one of my favorite...especially after the 100th time! Graphics were decent though. GamePlay -- 97% Awesome game....kept me occupied for HOURS. Start a combo and watch all the bad guys die...fight bosses, move up levels. KILLER GAME!

Except you have a shitty little keyboard... and less realistic...bleh. Playability -- 70% Without multiplayer...this game just well...sucks. It is, however, easy to play. You just accelerate and pass your opponents. Ingenuity -- 30% Racing car game #999. Nothing new here...derived from a 4 year old arcade racing game. Graphics & Sound -- 60% The Graphics were made in 1992, and the music.bin file that was included did nothing but take up 30 megs. SFX were nothing special. GamePlay -- 55% With no multiplayer...this game is boring as hell. The whole fun of the arcade game was that you could crash your opponents to hell and back and laugh as they fell behind. 30 minutes after you get this game, it will be headed for the recycle bin.

Jane's has made tons of flightsims already, and this one is no different. New planes, all true to life. Can't seem to play the campaigns in this game though....not like I wanted to. Playability -- 70% Just like any flight sim...much more fun with a joystick. Shoot and fly around...cool! not. Ingenuity -- 50% Well I don't see much difference from any other jane's game. There was ATF, Nato Fighters, USNF Gold etc etc etc...all the same game with different planes. Fun. Graphics & Sound -- 75% They weren't bad...nothing to write home about...the planes look cool sitting on the runway. No music, but there was plenty of sound, which was decent. GamePlay -- 40% Maybe I am not the guy to talk about flight sims, but I don't like them. This has multiplayer mode which is a plus, but unless you buy the cd you can't have any Campaigns. Just single missions. OVERALL 58/100 ^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Admiral Sea Battles *FINAL* [xx/12] ________________________/»|__/| ___________ \___ \ __ / __/ __/ / |/ ____/ __/_ | __/ _/ _/ _| \__ \ \/ / ) / _| / |___|\__\ \________ /___\__\__ \______\ +--------\___/≈e≈/aL!\/--------/_____\-----+ Nice little strategy game based on boat warfare. You control some cities, and you move build boats with money depending on your city's income. Then you move around and kill the enemy boats and cities. Pretty straight forward. Playabililty -- 60% Could use a manual. Finally figured how to end a turn and Make a ship. But it took a while. Oh well. Ingenuity -- 45% Well...it is a strategy game...what is so new about that? there were lots of boats in it though...heh. Graphics & Sound -- 40% Well...the music sucked hardcore....elevator music to the max. The graphics were like the ones in panzer general (4 years ago). GamePlay -- 50% Wasn't all that much fun. Got to blow up a few ships though. Yawn. OVERALL 47/100 ^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ SWIV 3D (C) SCI [XX/18] _____ _____ ____ _____ ________________ \_ | \ \/ / _ /__\_ \_/ _ \ | _ \_ \ _/ \ \ __/___/ | / / |___| |____|___/ /_\ \___|_______/ ::d|___|::::::.\___/.:.\___\::::::::: This game has to be one of the coolest games I've played in a long time. Imagine a cross between the motion and graphics of Magic Carpet and the idea of Apache, but better, and you can start to understand the complete coolness of this game. You start off the game as a little helicopter and you fly all over the place killing stuff and picking other stuff up like missiles and health and cruise missles and smart bombs and ... well the list just goes on and on. Then, in later levels you are a little A.T.V. and you go around killing more stuff, and you can even get into a helicopter from the A.T.V. and vice versa. This is a definite download this week! Playability -- 89% The only things to figure out in the game are the buttons and you don't even have to watch the screen that tells you what your objectives are if you realize that all you have to do is follow the white arrow on the top of the screen and blow up the things that have the red sights on them. After you've mastered those very difficult concepts (HA!) you've got the game down. Ingenuity -- 94% There have been alot of games out in the past and alot of them have looked like previous games. I mean, how many Doom clones have there been? But this isn't like anything I've ever seen. The only thing that even comes slightly close is Magic Carpet, but there is just no way you could compare this to Magic Carpet...it's just way too COOL!!! Graphics & Sound -- 89% The graphics in the game are just way cool. The only thing that could have made the graphics any cooler in my opinion would have been a graphically rendered sky and the option to change views, even though the way the game changes the view is really awesome anyway. The sounds were great, very realistic. There could have been some background music, but that would have been a minor request. GamePlay -- 88% The game itself rocks. It's a bit difficult at first when you don't really know how badly you get damaged and it gets slightly frustrating because the game is harder than you wold expect when you start, but it just adds to the addict- iveness. Once, I was playing the game and I finally finished the level and checked the time on the level and i had been playing for OVER AN HOUR!!! OVERALL 90/100 ^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ VIRTUA SQUAD (c) Sega PC [xx/12] ________________________/»|__/| ___________ \___ \ __ / __/ __/ / |/ ____/ __/_ | __/ _/ _/ _| \__ \ \/ / ) / _| / |___|\__\ \________ /___\__\__ \______\ +--------\___/≈e≈/aL!\/--------/_____\-----+ Thank God!!! I thought that this game would never be fixed and I would have to go without playing one of my favorite games in the arcade on my pc, but that wasn't the case. This game, originally released in the arcade as Virtua Cop, is almost the exact same as the arcade except for some minor changes. Playability -- 85% Point, shoot...it's as easy as that...sorta. A big problem was reloading...we couldn't figure out how, but if we had bothered to watch the intro deal we would have figured it out. Ingenuity -- 40% Seeing as though it came straight from the arcade and there have been quite a few other shoot 'em ups...well...yeah. Graphics & Sound -- 50% Graphics were polygons, just like the arcade, and nothing special. Sound was just like the arcade, and guess what... nothing special. GamePlay -- 48% I found the game fun because I loved the game in the arcade, but it could get very tedious. Also, the game isn't vey hard to beat.

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME KIDS! Basically different types of word games....they give you the max score they have computed, and you try to match it or beat it, and it gets harder as you go along. Playability -- 60% Well it is sort of straight forward....but difficult to understand their instructions. Not suggested for the weak of mind (Cough you know who Cough). Ingenuity -- 40% Nothing new here....you've probably seen it all in New York Times. Boring. Graphics & Sound -- 20% Ummm...Elevator Music....and like shitty win95 gfx. That is all there is to say!

Graphics & Sound -- 25% SHIT! Ancient crappy doom 1 bitmap shit. LAME!!! GamePlay -- 40% Well, you can only play so many games before you die of boredom. You have to shoot barrels with your shotgun and not with your hand gun if you want them to blow up. Lame.

This one wasn't even eye appealing. The computer is pretty smart though. Playability -- N/A What do you want me to say? it is chess...you can either play it or you can't. Ingenuity -- 20% It was pretty ingenious to make it so ugly! Nothing else was very ingenious about this though. Graphics & Sound -- 25% 2d boards look like travel chess with the magnetic pieces. 3d boards looked like polygons...sound?? what sound? and would you want sound in a game like this? Nahhhh.... GamePlay -- 50% The computer gives you hints, and playing this for days on end will bring you closer and closer to becoming the ultimate living chess computer....yeah right...don't waste your time leeching it.

I am told it is a role playing game, but you seem to float down to the ground where a guy with a knife starts to slash you to bits while you punch him with your fist that seemingly does nothing! When you do manage to land a hit, the guy screams out in some foreign language. I ran away hoping the game would get better, but I just ran into the water got out and suffocated...I dunno why. Playability -- 20% Was I even hitting the guy?? beats me....this game SUCKED. I didn't know what I was doing, or how to do it....bah. Ingenuity -- 40% Well there was a fight....seemed pretty standard....there was an ugly landscape...and it was no fun...what a novel idea... Let's make a game that is not fun!!! Graphics & Sound -- 55% No sound other than the water flowing in the background and the enemy screaming in some wierd language. The graphics in the main screen sucked hardcore, but the character status window was nicely done, as was the choice menu. That was the only redeeming value of this game. GamePlay -- 0% Never has a game gotten 0 before. This game flat out SUCKED. No two ways about it.

The game is just another 3D deal, but this time you are in a motorcycle. Playability -- 48% When you get into the game you think it's gonna be just like any other 3D game, shoot...kill. Well, that's not the case. It's hard as crap to figure out what's going on and how to kill people and it's just hard to play. Ingenuity -- 25% Another 3D game with a motorcycle...wow, how ingenious! Graphics & Sound -- 20% VGA 3D just doesn't work. And "bang" "boom" sums up the sound. GamePlay -- 48% It's gets really boring when you don't know what to do and you can't kill anyone. BAH...

It's just like a whole bunch of mini golf levels, but now on the pc. Playability -- 88% It'll take a couple of turns to figure out how to shoot, but after that it's really easy. Ingenuity -- 89%% I, personally, have never seen any mini golf games so it gets a thumbs up from me. Graphics & Sound -- 20% The graphics aren't anything special...like EGA. And the sound...think MAC. GamePlay -- 30% It was pretty cool to play, but I don't think that it could entertain anyone for more than a couple of days.
