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]
