THE ONE AMIGA SEPTEMBER 1992,
FLASHBACK
You don't need any instructions. Just sit back, switch off the lights and prepare to be amazed!
MATCH OF THE DAY
Hello and welcome to Mach of the Day! Yes, the show might not be on
the telly anymore but who cares! Computer games are all about escaping
from the real world anyway. Or something. Anyway, what you've got here is
a playable demo of Zeppelin's forthcoming game of the show, in which you
can guide your team through an entire division of top football management
action!
TINY SKWEEKS
First there were Lemmings. Then, the Troddlers. And now there is a new
breed of sickly-cute fluffy game characters - yes, they've the Tiny
Skweeks. These little bundles of mischief will be weeding their way onto
your Amiga courtesy of Loricels this Autumn, but in the meantime, why not
cut your teeth on our TEN (count'em) exclusive, playable and totally
complete levels?
NEBULA
The first of out top-quality PD threepack this month is a
high-velocity arcade blaster that should be familiar to anyone who's ever
played classics like Battlezone or Encounter.
PREMIERE
This demo consists of a specially constructed section of the first Western level, where the player's objective is to work his way through the landscape, battle the baddies, collect as many pickups and posssible and reach the door at the far end..
WAR
In War, two players battle for galactic dominstion in a superb mix of
Risk-style boardgame strategy, resource management and spacebased arcade
action. It's entirely icon-controlled and, though it looks a little
overwhelming at first, is great fun once you've got into it. Don't let the
fact that it's written in AMOS put you off either.
Actually, you can play one player against the computer but from our own
play-testing experiences in The One offices, you really need to grab a
mate to get the most out of the game.
Yes, it's Frogger! And not just any old frogger. We reckon it's the best Amiga version of the classic arcade game yet. You must know what to do - guide your hapless frog from the dangerous highway at the bottom of the screen to his home at the top.
To complete a level, you've got to get frogs safely into all the little leafy alcoves across the top of the screen. Your amphibious pal can hop in all four directions, but is instantly killed if he is hit by a vehicle or falls into the water. He'll also come a cropper if he's attacked by the rampant chicken that appears on the riverbank in the centre of the screen after Level One or leaps into an alcove occupied by the big-bad frog-eating spider. Oh, and if the logs or turtles carrying you scroll off the side of the screen
As the levels progress the cars get faster, special bonuses appear (leap on the flies to swallow them up, but don't mistake the spider for one) and... oh, it's just gets more and more fun. And don't forget the time limit!
You know what to do! Go to it!
