• Logotron
All those who thought that Denton Designs had
fizzled out can rest assured that the Liverpool
lads have been beavering away for the last cou-
ple of months on Eye of Horus for the ST, a
two-way-scrolling arcade adventure set inside a
Pyramid. There s plenty of shooting, puzzling
and exploring t o be had, and anyone who
doesn't like mapping shouldn't worry: the game
does it for you.

• SS!
RPGers are in for a welcome addition to the
genre with Demons Winter from wargamers SS!.
The quest i s carried o u t i n a simila r
fashion to previous offerings such as Shard of
Spring, with a party of four characters being
guided over a large map. Whenever hostiles are
encountered, though, the map zooms in so
hand-to-hand combat may be governed in more
detail. Interested parties should seek Out the ST
and IBM versions any time now, with both Com-
modore versions appeanng about a month later.

Bio-Challenge is a sort of strategic arcade shoot-ern-up without the shooting. Over six multi-level
regions, the player's android somersaults his way past a variety of strange creatures collecting
ammunition for a show-down with each end-of-level guardian. ST and Amiga owners should prepare
to commence battle some time in the next few weeks.

Some things in life have the knack of surrounding themselves with

unwarranted mystique: you can only approach them, it seems, after
years of painstaking study and labour. With computers and music
you have two of the biggest 'ivory tower' subjects linked together.
So this makes it totally inaccessible. right? Wrong. Given the right
computer, the right software, and maybe even a musical instrument
or two thrown in, even the most musically or technically illiterate
can have a stab at sounding something like proficient. Our ne
Music Editor, Jon Bates, explains how.

There are many ways to display this infor-

used, usually aligned with a displayed data

 Last month we told you how
Mirrosoft and Cinemaware
worked together to produce a
new version of Defender of the
Crown - a version that runs on a
CD ROM drive. A specially
produced stereo soundtrack
enhances the experience of
waging territorial war in Saxon
Mirrorsoft
England, and a narrator explains l
join forces to offer the ultimate prize -
what is taking place. The CD ROM
Defender sells for £50, but then C o m
the fi rst C D R O M e
you'd need an EGA PC to run it, m o d
as well as a new-generation CD iAND
g a m e a M i n i
ROM drive that can provide audio o r ethe hardware to i!ay itlb
n n a l t
output to your stereo. a
Not many people own that sort
of computer hardware. The total n trtl e ti l

bill for such a set-up would be at

d
least £1,500, but soon you could
be the proud owner of the C i
uftimate computer system,
courtesy of ACE and two
n e
forward-looking companies who m a
are already producing the
hardware and software of the w a
future: Commodore and r e
Mirrorsoft. Everyone knows that
Commodore produce the C64 and
Amiga, but did you realise that
they also manufacture a range of
IBM PC compatible machines?
Cinemaware are about to
release their next interactive
movie entertainment - Lords of
the Rising Sun - which is the
follow-up to Defender of the
Crown in terms of gameplay.
Lords features a
much-improved game design that
sets the player the task of taking
control of the islands that make
up Japan in the days when it was
ruled by warlords. Strategy is
combined with arcade sequences
in the quest to become the leader
of the most powerful force in the
land - and of course the usual
glossy Cinemaware graphics
complete the package.
Cinemaware are currently putting
the final touches to this, their
latest interactive movie, and

eggs can quickly infect a whole island when
they hatch, or cause it to be eaten away entire-
ly. Lost souls spin around the landscape trying
to collide and steal your soul.
All these features mean that it's much
more of an arcade challenge than Sentinel, but
with a lot more strategy than Virus. Frequent
panicking to get to safety must be mixed with
careful land-building and searching in order to
gain success.
The maps get very big and just finding the
stones and obelisk can be a problem, as, too,
can be locating uninfected areas through which
to hop back to the obelisk in time on many of
the levels. Maps can't just be accessed at ran-
dom - you have to play through them in a par-
ticular order, determined by your progress in
the game. As in Sentinel, not all 10,000 have

always Art of
p i x e l War for this, since its
simple u se o f t h e scissors/
paper/rock idea for troop types was
readily grasped and still left lots of
room for the player to make a total
mess of everything.
Until very recently, some elements
of conflict were simulated quite well
in computer wargarnes whilst others
were hardly addressed at all. For
me, the fact that the full gory
technicolour details of hand-to-
hand fighting are missing is
not the problem, The main
design shortcoming h a s
been the way in which the
games tend to be modelled as
if the conflict was a personal
fight. In other words, the results of indi-
vidual battles can almost always be
examined the instant they are resolved_ In
some games, you can even view the results
during the individual phases of a move, and
alter your strategy on the spot to suit. This
technique is ideal for modelling a one-
on-one fight up some dark alley, but
isn't a faithful representation of what
happens when you are in a real-life
war or battle.

Please note our PC Engines are PAI 1 systems they will connect directly into your TV at home. All leads and power supply are included in the price.
All you have to do is plug the system in.
Beware of other companies selling the cheaper NTSC System which is not compatible with the supply of electricity in the UK. This means they will not work with
sound and colour on British TV's.
Please note this is a selection of the games at present. We will be getting further titles soon. Also we will be stocking the Sega 16-Bit and Konix consoles. The CD
Rom unit can also be used to play normal music compact disks,
