Cadaver:
Published by: Imageworks.
Written by:The Bitmap Brothers.
This just has to be one of the best games ever written, it is
bloody awesome. the game is an iso metric arcade adventure on a
huge scale, with hundreds of rooms to explore, loads of objects
to play with, monsters, and puzzles that will keep you up all
night (well I stayed up!!).
The game comes on two disks, and retails at £24.95 ( but I got
my copy for $15 at the 16-bit show so there!).
This is how it goes........
insert disk 1 into drive
turn hi-fi on
switch to recieve output from computer (clever trick)
turn computer on (and the TV)

sit in awe as you hear some of the most classy music ever, 4
track quartet music.

Now the idea of the game
You play the role of Karadoc, the fearless dwarf, whos lust for
adventure is alot less than his lust for money/treasure/fame
etc,etc. You enter Castle Wulf in search of Dianos the evil
necromancer, and more importantly in search of treasure.
Control of Karaoc is via the joystick, which gets some getting
used to, but when you get it, you can run round the rooms like
nobody's business.
You can interact with most objects, the interaction is via
control icons that appear when you touch an object, these icons
are tailored to each object so you can'y eat a barrel, or wear a
dead rat on you head.
The icons allow you to eat,throw,pull,pickup,drop,open, close,
and many,many more
now for some scores.....
graphics: 99% they are brilliant!
Sound: 60% very atmospheric, but too sparse.
Game play: 100% my best game!
Lasting appeal: 80% you may get put off when you get stuck.
Overall: 99% every body should buy it.}
