- Review: Lasers and Men - Falcon Only
- ====================================
-
- Do you know a game called Wolfenstein on the PC? Well, if
- you do, this game for the Falcon has been based on it.
- Lasers and Men is a 3D maze game where the idea is to get to
- the exit of each maze or level.
-
- The graphics are very good - they've been texture-mapped and
- have taken advantage of the Falcon's extra colours and
- processing power. Unfortunately, your enemies in the game
- (which must be killed before they kill you) are only cubes
- of colour, but this is due to the original sprite files
- being destroyed by one of those nasty little boot sector
- programs - a virus.
-
- Lasers and Men is controlled by the mouse and because it
- uses the Falcon's DSP chip (Digital Signal Processor chip),
- the movement is very quick and responsive. However, it would
- have been nice to use a joystick as well.
-
- Overall, Lasers and Men is a good, round game. The graphics
- are brilliant, except for the exclusion of enemy sprites,
- and the game is very addictive indeed. To be honest, I'd
- like to see this develop into a Midi Maze II type game with
- the option to link STs together and play with opponents, or
- to play against the computer with all the power-ups. I think
- it would be good. I'd buy this now if you've got the money
- (which you should have). It's a very nice game.
