- Good evening and welcome to another fun packed, thrilling (well we try
- our best) edition of yours and mine, though I'm biased, favourite games
- pages.
-
- This issue I'm doing things a bit differently by having a joint Amiga and
- PC Hyper Zone. No it's not because I'm lazy, well ok maybe it is, but
- this month we have news and a round-up of space games (wooh!).
-
- First off, news that Star Trek: The 25th Anniversary will be available
- this september for Amiga owners (of course PC owners have had it for
- donkeys years). The bad news to A600 owners is that it will only be
- available for the A1200 and A400 machines, I predict that this game might
- well sell quite a few A1200 machines (including one to myself too!!!).
- But what I want to know is will they now produce a Star Trek The Next
- Generation game, and if so, how short will Troi's dress be ?!
-
- Oh quick snippet before I get carried away with space games, last issue I
- enthused about Goal! for the Amiga but had a few reservations about it.
- Well forget them!, and up the rating a few percent, takes it to just over
- 90% by my reckoning now. Extremely addictive is the word (er, two words
- anyway).
-
- Elite 2, more commonly known as Frontier should be reaching the shelves
- pretty shortly. Not much more kmown about it but I just thought I'd
- remind you anyway! The Amiga version will be with us this September with
- the PC one just a little way behind that.

- Wing Commander, came out years ago for the PC and was hailed as the best
- most cinematic space game yet, incredible 3D graphics, loads of action,
- and movie sequences in between all that. So successful that the sequel
- Wing Commander 2 was released. Amiga owners were lucky enough to get this
- fantastic game after quite a long delay (but never mind), it wasn't quite
- as fast (unless you happened to have a 68030 accelerator card) but
- neverless a great achievement indeed. Any chance of Wing Commander 2 for
- the A1200 Origin ?!
-
- Elite, ooooh now we're going back in time. The original Elite game after
- appearing for all the 8-bit dinosaurs, er, I mean computers, surfaced in
- an Amiga version which was faithful to the original without being
- anything remarkable, while the PC one was much the same but allegdedly
- too damn slow for most people. Elite Plus was promptly brought out for
- the PC, well maybe not that prompt as it appeared quite a few years
- later, and was to all intents very nifty indeed. Sadly Elite Plus never
- made it to the Amiga. But with Elite 2 (Frontier) coming out very shortly
- for both computers you won't need to track down Elite anymore.
-
- X-Wing. Ok to be honest I haven't seen this game (yet) so I can't pass
- judgement on it but check it out as it is meant to be one of the best
- space games yet. [cd1am1 - Shadow Arrakis]
