AMIGA ACTION ISSUE 23 AUGUST
1991,
'100& Colour! 100% Amiga! 100% Action 100% Class!'
Yet another month passes by and once
again, two great demos grace the Amiga Action coverdisk. As usual, both
are fully playable and each gives you the chance to sample the latest
releases before you part with your hard earned cash.
First off the
production line is Championship Athletics, the debut game from new
software house, Hawk. We've got two full events for you to participate in.
Secondly, there's Little Beau by Digital Magic Software, which takes the
form of a cutesy platform romp. So stop reading this and boot up your
action-packed coverdisk.
CHAMPIONSHIP ATHLETICS
There was a time when computer
games based on athletics were very big business. The majority of you
should be able to remember the Games series, developed by US Gold Summer
Games 2 and Winter Games released on the humble Commodore 64 are classics
and the advancement in computer technology has failed to produce anything
more impressive.
New software house Hawk, obviously feel that the time has come to bring
back the days of multi-event sport simulations. Championships Atheletics
is their offering, boasting superior sound and garphics, improved gameplay
and no less than 16 different events to choose from, all of which require
a different strategy.
LOADING INSTRUCTIONS
Loading Championship Athletics is dead easy. Simply turn on your Amiga
and insert the coverdisk into the disk drive. After a short while a screen
prompt will appear - 1>. Now simply type in:
ATHLETIC (and press Return)
The game will now load and run automatically.
LITTLE BEAU
A long time ago there lived a beautiful princess (Ah! This is all
sounding very nice and cutesy). She dwelt on a rather nice island that had
tons of lovely flowers for her to look at. That was until she was
kidnapped by a ugly wizard who had never had a girlfriend before and
thought that this princess was particularly tasty.
All seemed at an end for the princess and she cried to herself as she
thought of all the nice flowers she would never see again, and all the
nasty things the warty wizard was going to do to her. But the princess was
unaware of a tiny chap called Beau who for many a year now had fancied her.
LOADING INSTRUCTIONS
It's quite simple. All you have
to do is turn on your Amiga and insert the disk (that's the hard bit), then
when the cursor appears type:
little_beau_demo (Return)
Now just wait for a few seconds as the game loads then grab a joystick
and enjoy yourself.
