However, we have been promised we will have a reviewable copy next month. Also, Domark are said to be ÔmovedÕ after all the response and patience they have been given. So remember Ð next month!


GTI Charts. March 1996

The big German distribution company have sent us their latest charts from March 1996 so you can see what the best selling games have been over the last few months.


Top Ten Amiga Games

1. Gloom Deluxe
2. Star Crusader AGA
3. Sensible World of Soccer
4. Breathless AGA
5. Slamtilt
6. Obsession
7. Worms
8. Super Streetfighter 2 AGA
9. Super Tennis Champs
10. Black Viper

Top Ten Amiga CD-ROMs
1. Aminet 10
2. Aminet Set 2
3. Meeting Pearls
4. Aminet 9
5. Gateway CD 2
6. Gamers Delight 1
7. Aminet Set 1
8. Amiga CD 3/96
9. Workbench Add On
10. Eric Schwartz CD

As you can see the charts are quite surprising. Sensible World of Soccer third best to Gloom and Star Crusader? Also, Pinball makes quite an appearance with the excellent Slamtilt and Obsession. And to top off the charts, at 10th place is a game we've never heard of, so there you go. The CD charts are quite predictable with Aminet occupying four spots in the entire top ten including the top spot with the latest Aminet release. There is only one actual game CD which appears and that's Gamers Delight 1 which was far better than the sequel. The last spot is taken by the Eric Schwartz picture and animation CD which is, of course, excellent value for money.
