47-1:
GUARDIAN (A1200 only)
Let the trumpets sound! Let the eternal flame be lit! Let the dancing troupes perform! The
Game of Champions has arrived on AMIGA POWER's coverdisks! Hear the crowd roar
appreciatively as you take to the podium to attempt our special level, which brings together many of the baddies from later levels into one frenzied burst of gaming ecstasy.
Guardian (the Game of Champions) used to be available only on the CD32. Guardian (the
Game of Champions) was awarded a richly-deserved 90% in AP43. Guardian (the Game of
Champions) was played incessantly by all members of AMIGA POWER for three whole
weeks, resulting in the magazine missing its allocated print slot and being fined in excess of almost 15 thousand pounds. In New Zealand, where Guardian (the Game of Champions)
emanates from, it has become the centre of a growing religious cult that has shocked the law
enforcement community as well as civic leaders. It's that good.
DERRING-DO
Mr Do returns again, this time looking his best yet in this fantastic Blitz Basic-programmed version from Yorkshire. Eat fruit and be merry. It's a superior version of Mr Do, a video game older than the most elderly giant tortoise that
lives in the far off Galapagos Islands. As old as the mountain streams that carve through the
Caledonian mountains, as old as the kilometre thick iceflows that press down on the bedrock
of Iceland with unimaginable pressure. Older in fact, than many of the seven or so jokes we
use, month after month, in AMIGA POWER.
You know the score: Run around, pick up fruit, drop apples on baddies, fire your bouncy ball
and flit through the levels. Just play it.
DISK 47-2:
BUBBLE AND SQUEAK
One of the sweetest, most inventive, and simply best platform games on the Amiga 1200 is
now obtainable on the 500, and it's even better than before, for some reason. Play our demo
and see that it is good.
PUCMAN
It's Pacman -- but on the Amiga -- but on our coverdisk, in compact demo form. Devour
dots in claustrophobic mazes, all the while pursued by crazed ghosts.
Almost (but not quite) succeeding as a clone, Pucman nevertheless remains a spectacularly
close conversion of the most popular coin-op of all time and the first to attract women in
numbers to video games. Yes, not only are you bound to recognise the maze and the simple graphics, but the faithfully-reproduced sound is guaranteed to bring to mind treacly visions of
unpleasantly cavernous halls and sickle-cell anaemia.
