Un-Realistic: "I have never played a game I didn't like." -Stupid Idiot Realistic : "This game sucks!" -Ionizer ____________ News Updates ***A lot of stuff to say, so please read it*** ============ -Ok, let's get right to the point like we always do: (1) Remember when I said TGR was dead and never to be again? Yeah, well...I LIED. We're back, obviously. (2) This may only be a summer thing, so don't hold your breath, but do hold your penis when pissing and hold grandpa's penis too if he can't do it himself. (3) "But Ionizer, all games are win95 now!" NO SHIT YOU ASSHOLE! Obviously, I've installed win95, and I still hate it. (Maybe I'll install win98 in a few years, hehe) I now have a p233/mmx, 64 megs ram, so no more excuses for non-working games such as "It doesn't work cuz your computer sucks Ionizer" -I've decided I won't be funny in any of my reviews and that I will be REALLY serious in all of them..............BWHAHAHAHAHA! YEAH RIGHT! Listen, some things don't and never will change, and TGR is one of those. As always, we will continue to review all games in a simple .TXT format! -For those who know, Path0s used to review the win95 games, and I used to review the dos/win3.1 games. Since everything is now win95, we are going to both review all games. Meaning, you'll get two interpretations which you can judge for yourself depending on who you consider more to your liking. -This issue and future issues wouldn't be possible without the `help' of a good friend to the scene, Prozac. Thank you for your help, our readers and I myself owe ya one. (Ok, maybe I can't speak for the readers, I think that's got something to do with taxation w/o representation, but I thank ya) -I'm sure I'm going to get a lot of email about "TRG" (The Reviewers Guild). Let me just make it clear up front: (a) We have nothing against them, nor do we even consider ourselves in a "competition" with them. (b) We are aimed at two different types of audiences, looking for different material. (c) We will not show screen captures, nor release individual reviews like them, if you want that, then you've already got it, so feel free to visit them at www.game-over.net (d) TGR is not TRG and will never try to be. For those who have been around, you know what we are and what we deliver. For those a little newer to the scene, I direct you to our webpage to check out old issues (http://www.monmouth.com/~jionin) for a better understanding of a magazine that has been around SINCE 1995. ============================================ HOW TO GET THIS MAGAZINE ON A REGULAR BASIS: ============================================ TGR is released on Sundays, at approximately 8pm (EST). It can be obtained in 2 different ways. The first method obviously being the easiest and best: ***************** ***NEW ADDRESS*** ***************** #1 TGR Web Page: http://www.monmouth.com/~jionin ------------------------------- (Over 80,000 Served) (Note: Contains all issues and gets 'em 1st) #2 Through irc, you can dcc from me the newest issue only, simply type: /msg ionizer xdcc send #1 OR /msg iondcc xdcc list <to see list> On the day of release (Sunday), you may also use IonDcc instead of me. - * - * - * - * - * * - * - * - * - * - GAME REVIEWS, RATINGS, UN-BIASED OPINIONS, HELP/TIPS FOR INSTALLING GAMES!

(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. (80-89)/100 = Very good, 9 outta 10 its worth the download. (90-99)/100 = Excellent game, a MUST download. 100/100 = HOLY SHIT I'VE NEVER SEEN A BETTER GAME! RATINGS are based on the game idea, graphics, sound, playability, ingenuity, versatility, and a lot of other words ending in `ity'. These games are based on what happens on MY COMPUTER ONLY, unless stated otherwise. I always first follow .nfo directions, and if those don't work or are not available, I then try other ways. So just b/c it doesn't work for me, doesn't mean it won't work for you. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -<*><*> THE GAME REVIEW (c) Ionizer <*><*>- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- PS: The reviews start from June 1st.

Ok, fishing games aren't exactly the best thing out there. But of all the bad fishing games I've played, this one is almost up there. The scenery is nice, the background sounds are nice, but the game play is incredibly boring and could be imitated by monkeys. You have a guy, you push up or down and a new picture comes up (no animation) and you select the target (the fish) and hit cast and it throws it there and then you sit and wait and waste your life away. Even if you like fishing games, there are plenty of better ones out there so go find them and don't bother wasting 185 megs of space on this one. RATING: 37/100 .:. Teknorage and Pirasoft!

I say to them, "shutup you little midget." This game is cute though, but you grow tired of it quick- ly. The miniature golf courses are kinda boring, the usual weird shaped course, but there is no interaction with any kind of moving things like a windmill or something. There is nice 3D scenery on the sides, but it has nothing to do with the game. If you're looking for a little nice artwork and a quick game to play, pick it up, but you won't be very impressed. Oh and turn the sound off, halfway through it drives you nuts.

It's a little hard to figure out at first. Basically it's an adventure game (get this to do that to get this to do that, etc) but there's a decent amount of action in it. For example, the beginning is a shoot-em up scenario where you have to duck or get in the line of fire and shoot the guys. It's definitely interest- ing, but when it starts getting more towards the adventure side of the game, it can become confusing. The avi's were ripped, which probably includes some key conversations and points to the game, so it's hard to find your way around or to find what your looking for w/o them. Good game, nice change of pace, but kinda tough and kinda confusing. Graphics are very good, especially the closeups of your character and the limited speech is good...the music comp- lements the action very well. Get it, but you will have a hard time w/ it.

It's your basic windows card game. You have the computer players, you can taunt them and smile. Nice assortment of midi musics to go along with the, ahem, action, if you can call it that. I like to play with Miss. Potter in this game (she's the old lady) cuz if I win, she goes under the table and gives me good head. The game has all the options you probably need for spades, but then again I'm not even totally sure how to play the game.

Anyway, at first I tried to play this game and I made my turkey calls and had my shotgun ready and I look around, and there were NO FUCKING TURKEYS. It was like the oppos- ite of a thanksgiving day. However, the key to getting the turkeys to appear is to alternate the two call things you have for them. Then they appear and then you can shoot them. Basically it's similar to the deer hunting game, 5 different sceneries to shoot turkeys in. It's a very limited game and you will most likely have very limited fun with it. Even hunters would get bored with this one quickly.

The graphics are improved and the look of it as a whole is much better, with nicely animated characters to choose to drive you over the edge of tables. However, the game still has the same problem it had from the very beginning, YOU CANT SEE WHERE YOUR GOING TO DRIVE, THEREFORE YOU CAN'T TURN IN TIME. You think they woulda fig- ured this out by the 3rd version, but no, they still don't get it. Unless you have reflexes the speed of lightning and even then it's probably not quick enough, then you'll find this game worthless in the end. Sure it looks good, but it's too hard to compete in. Oh, and for those who are new and never played any version of this game, you basically race micro sized cars on courses that occur on tabletops (desks, picnics, etc) from an overhead view.

Games like this were delivered to us about 2 years ago. The background of this game looks a lot like the porches of the hood, it's all fucking black. You try to track down enemies, target them and shoot. Wooptie, with the black scenery and the white stars, I almost fell asleep. Only for the true space-fighters out there, cuz it's just another shoot-em-up in space game. Don't forget about the multiplayer crack if you plan on using it.

This one is no different than the rest. It's not any funner, nor is it any better, but it's not any worse. The graphics are pretty mediocre for this type of game, and the music is a bit on the corny side. You all know what a flight simulator is and this one is no different. Not much to say about it, if you like em, 50% chance it's worth your while, otherwise the entertainment value is equivalent to listening to your Grandma talk about her childhood. RATING: 50/100 .:.

There's a lot more terrain and animals and guns to shoot at them, but I suggest you all try to shoot the deer, since that fucking dumb animal ran into the side of my old car and made a hole in it and then ran off, unharmed.
