	Core  Design  Ltd.  are my favourite software company so I was well
pleased  to  see  Bubba  n  Stix finally hit the shelves !  The great thing
about Core is their imagination, I mean what kind of person develops a game
where one of the main characters is a stick !!??.

	I  first  fell  in  love with Core when they released the excellent
Heimdall.   I'm  really looking forward to doing reviews for 3 of there yet
to be released games, Heimdall II, Darkmere and Skeleton Krew.

	Anyway  back  to  the  game  in hand!.  Bubba "N" Stix is an arcade
adventure  with a touch of puzzling!.  The graphics are top cartoon quality
and the animation is so slick, it practically slips of the screen.  As with
most  Core  games,  it's also very addictive and lots of fun to play!.  The
idea  of  the game is to work your way through 5 stages of platforming fun.
You  start  the game in the forest where you have to overcome, many devious
puzzles.   You have to use your stick to gain access to higher levels.  The
stick  is also your only means of killing enemy sprites, so use it wisely!.
The  game  is very colourful, and it has lots of amusing features and bonus
levels.   I  especially like the way stix flies through the air, spins, and
comes  back  like a boomerang!.  There are lots of nice little added sounds
and  of  course music, which are also very pleasant.  There really isn't an
awful  lot  to say about this game, you really do have to have to own it to
appreciate it......
