35:
STATIX
This has to be the most original twist on an old puzzle-game theme we've seen in a very long
time. Not only do you have lots of falling blocks to contend with, but now even the ground on
which they're landing is a danger-fraught environment. It's scary.
You'll notice a bit of a puzzley theme on this month's disk, which isn't the kind of thing we
usually go for, but we hope you'll agree that these are some of the most interesting variations
on the normal themes to appear for a long time, and hence well worthy of a bit of exposure.
Statix comes to you via Kompart UK, from top Hungarian ex-demo coders Black Legend
(or is that someone else? We can't remember for sure), and it's a bit of a weirdy. Check out
the rules and pay attention to them before you start playing it. You know it makes sense.
TETRIS PRO
Stop! You might think this is just another Tetris, but if you
thought that, you'd be so wrong that it just wouldn't be funny.
This is Tetris with a difference, and it's a difference that makes
all the difference. What is it? Turn the page...
ARCADE POOL
A time-limited demo of Team 17's newest release.
Um... it's pool. You know, like in an arcade.
Can I go yet?
We had a bit of space on the disk this month, so we've brought you just a little tiny demo of
Team 17's new budget game. Or alternatively, a really big demo, depending on how you look
at it. As well as playing a self-running version of two of the versions of Pool included in the
finished game.
