AMIGA POWER ISSUE 27 JULY 1993
Introducing disk 27...
YO! JOE!
Top boys Hudson Soft come up with an absolute corker. One complete special level of our new favourite platform game. As you've probably noticed by now, we love Hudson Soft, so when we heard about this platformer, we could barely contain our excitement. Now it's here, and it looks like they haven't let us down -- not only does Yo! Joe! look like being the best platformer in yonks, but it's even got a simultaneous two-player mode for extra fun and larks. We've got a lovely big level for you (and a pal, of course) to run around in and get the feel of the thing, and we think that when you do, you'll be joining us in the queue down the shops to buy the full game when it gets released at the start of August.
PREMIER PICKS
Continuing our life-long crusade to give you the kind of stuff you actually ask for on coverdisks, we're proud to bring you this EXCLUSIVE shareware football-related card-playing classic.
As it's been a little while since we brought you something special from the twilight world of the shareware programmer, we were very happy bunnies this month when a copy of Tim Blacklock's Premier Picks dropped through our letterbox. A card game set in the all-new and totally exciting FA Premier League, it ought to be just the thing to keep all you footy-lovers out there happy through the close season. It's simplicity itself to play, so without further ado let's tell you just how to do it.
SPACE WAR
Two-player dogfighting larks and japery at their finest in this conversion of practically the
world's first ever arcade game.
Well, it's Space War really, isn't it? Fans of the veteran coin-op
will need no introduction to this extra-terrestrial dogfight, and everybody else, well, just isn't
getting one. Work it out, why
don'tcha?
TANGLE
Unfeasibly groovy four-player light cycles game. Look, just give it a try, alright? You never
know, you might just turn out to like it
in the end. What's to lose?
I'm sure you've all seen a hundred light cycle games before, but I
doubt very much if you've seen one as entertaining as this. Why? Because it's a four-player light cycles game, that's why.
We've had a right old chuckle this month crowding around an Amiga playing this and
sneakily poking each other in the ribs with our elbows at the same time (there's been a bit of a tense
atmosphere in the office this
month without Linda to smooth over the, er, 'anti-social' aspects of
our dangerously unstable personalities), and now you too can simulate
that teetering-on-the-precipice-of-a-psychotic-murder-spree feel.
To run this game if you've got an A500 Plus or an A600, boot your
Amiga with your normal Workbench disk, insert the cover disk and
double-click on it, then double-click on the Tangle icon, and you're
away.
