AMIGA POWER ISSUE 47 MARCH 1995

Forming a symbiotic relationship with this issue of AMIGA POWER are two disks. They take advantage of their host magazine to impart information regarding their contents, while the magazine benefits from the increased sales they generate.

Introducing disk 47...
DISK 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.
