 บ    ingenuity, versatility, and a lot of other words ending in 'ity.'       บ

 บ      Wow a bad packaging job here.  First off, this is 6 disks, not 2      บ
 บ  like the diz says.  Secondly, they are all not compressed the way they    บ
 บ  should be, which is why when you downloaded this you might have been      บ
 บ  like "holy shit!"  Thirdly, the arj.exe and the install.exe each have a   บ
 บ  virus, one has taipan the other the burglar virus.  Still you don't need  บ
 บ  either of those, just arj x -y -v to a directory, it don't matter.  An    บ
 บ  earlier version of this game was put out in a package called `Triple      บ
 บ  Threat.'                                                                  บ
 บ                                                                            บ
 บ      Anyway, you probably shouldn't download this in the first place,      บ
 บ  because once you go to play the game, you'll see it sucks and it was a    บ
 บ  waste of time.  Mainly the reason for it sucking is because you can't     บ
 บ  control the movement of the plane.  That's right, none of the k/b keys    บ
 บ  work for movement, although they work with firing (and so does the        บ
 บ  mouse). There is no configuring to change it and it's supposed to work    บ
 บ  with the arrow keys (numlock on or off made no diff).  But for your       บ
 บ  knowledge (or something) this is a plane game.  You have your plane in    บ
 บ  front of you and you see enemies approach in the distance and they fire   บ
 บ  at you and you must avoid it.  It's not a 3d game, it's more of the       บ
 บ  asteroids type.  The sound is quite loud, but does help add a little      บ
 บ  something to this cheapy game.                                            บ

 บ  nice quiet game of Solitaire with his and many other faces right there    บ
 บ  in front of you.  They have animations too if you pick the large1 type    บ
 บ  cards.  Other than that it's just solitaire.  You can also change the     บ

 บ      This is supposed to be the final (game says v1.06) and the Coredump   บ
 บ  is being called a beta (game says v1.01).  However I assue you the        บ
 บ  Coredump version works fine, and at least you can get sound with that     บ
 บ  one.  This one has no sound, even though it's included, you can't         บ
 บ  actually set it up because the install.exe is missing files you need in   บ
 บ  order to configure it.  Here's the review from issue #36 :                บ
 บ                                                                            บ
 บ      "Crusader is back, and improved.  While you may go and call this      บ
 บ  Crusader 2, it's really a little stretch to do that.  This game is        บ
 บ  pretty much exactly like the original, except a few minor improvements,   บ
 บ  new levels, different exclamations from the enemies, smarter artificial   บ
 บ  inteligence of the enemies, and limits on your animation (bad).  While    บ
 บ  some of you remember this game as "that one you could blow up everything  บ
 บ  in" you will soon find this one loses some of that fun because of the     บ
 บ  fact that you are limited on ammunition of even your main gun.  For       บ
 บ  those who didn't play the first one, the game idea is simple.  It's a 3D  บ
 บ  overview of rooms, you walk around, shoot people, shit that you wish you  บ
 บ  could do in real life.  You have tons of weapons to pick up, and so many  บ
 บ  things to blow up, you could spend your entire life blowing up every      บ
 บ  single thing.  If you liked the first one a lot, then I still recommend   บ
 บ  getting this one, although it just isn't as good and simple as the first  บ
 บ  one.                                                                      บ
 บ                                                                            บ
 บ      If you thought the first one was so-so-good, then well you really     บ
 บ  don't need to check this one out, because it isn't much different.  I     บ
 บ  would have thought they could have made some more improvements to the     บ
 บ  game, add some better features, and improve it a little more than they    บ
 บ  did.  When you hit "s" it also will make an annoying beep sound (it gets  บ
 บ  annoying trust me) if there is nothing to use it for.  Also, they didn't  บ
 บ  really improve on the game engine, which although good, could have used   บ
 บ  some bug-like fixes.  Still a great game, make sure ya get the save game  บ
 บ  fix (which is just a stupid .com file to make a dir "savegame" in your    บ
 บ  game dir), and the music addon for music.  Oh, one more thing, the        บ
 บ  install.exe you are supposed to run to set the sound, it takes quite a    บ
 บ  while to load, so don't go rebooting your machine when all it does is     บ
 บ  sit their for about anywhere from 10-20 seconds with a black screen, the  บ
 บ  regret.exe will also take quite a while to load up, just be patient.      บ
 บ  Also, there are some rumors about this being a `beta.'                    บ
 บ                                                                            บ
 บ      As far as I can tell, the game runs fine, exactly like the first      บ
 บ  did, and there really is NO PROOF that this is not the final.  Oh and     บ
 บ  ONE more thing, on level 1, at one point in time you will be given a      บ
 บ  code #121 for those keypads, the correct # is really #122, I don't know   บ
 บ  if the game was designed to do that, but it's not #121.                   บ
 บ                                                                            บ

 บ      Welp this one is the supposed final, so if you didn't get it the      บ
 บ  first time, get it now, and see if you can get some kind of sound addon,  บ
 บ  because without one it will be quite dull, although it will move a lot    บ

 บ  figure out what to do.  The graphics are shitty and the controls are      บ
 บ  crappy, because you have to use buttons that are practically hidden in    บ
 บ  the picture of your tank.  Then you get to look out a shitty              บ
 บ  (pehr-uh-scope) and see a crappy image, and you can slowly move it at     บ
 บ  the rate of 1 foot a year.  Anyway this is basically a really shitty      บ

 บ  is good, but it's just not as good as QBC'97... oh and it's of course a   บ

 บ  there is sound, but no announcer (which actually is a good thing, cuz     บ
 บ  who the hell wants to listen to John Madden bitch?).  Plenty of options,  บ
 บ  weather, graphics, speech, and the usuals.  You can switch the viewing    บ

 บ      Sorry I don't remember the un-supah version of this great game, but   บ
 บ  this one is definately Super! All kinds of missions to play with this     บ
 บ  jetfighter sim.  From intercepting russian Migs to bombing runs at sea,   บ
 บ  it's all here.  You'll definately wanna break out the Sidewinder Pro for  บ
 บ  this, as it makes full use of the POV hat, rudder, and all 4 buttons.     บ
 บ  Too bad it didn't have any way to configure the 4 assignable buttons,     บ
 บ  but we can't have everything I guess.  If you got other flight equip,     บ
 บ  like pedals and etc, it'll support that too.                              บ
 บ                                                                            บ
 บ      There's quite a few controls to mess with, anything from radar        บ
 บ  functions to in-flight refueling mechanisms to counter measures.  You     บ
 บ  also get to fly with a wingman which talks to you in that leet jetjockey  บ
 บ  slang.  You can tell him what to do as well, like break right/left, go    บ
 บ  after certain targets, cover your tail, and etc.  The speech wasn't       บ
 บ  ripped either, so you've got all kinds of radio chatter in the            บ
 บ  background too.                                                           บ
 บ                                                                            บ
 บ      Speaking of sound, man, never let someone get a radar lock on you,    บ
 บ  it's REAL annoying, and maybe that's the point.  :) The directx sound     บ
 บ  screwed up on my system, garbling it, and making real nasty screeching    บ
 บ  sounds, but I don't think it was the games fault.  I'll have to go        บ
 บ  through and screw with my drivers.  Anyway, the grafix were great,        บ
 บ  smooth even on this shitty dram stealth.  Of course if it's choppy for    บ
 บ  you, it's got a couple grafix switches to mess with like detail levels,   บ
 บ  and high/low res.                                                         บ
 บ                                                                            บ
 บ      All in all, a great game if you've got the time to sit down and       บ
 บ  figure out the controls, and learn the cockpit (huh huh he said CockPit)  บ
 บ  and HUD.                                                                  บ

 บ      As a rule, I *really* don't like to give out anything higher than an  บ
 บ  85, but this one, in my book, has earned it. I've played quite a few      บ
 บ  sims, and this is one of the best ( 2nd only to Gunship for the C=64!!    บ
 บ  :P )                                                                      บ

 บ      After all is said and done with the controversy surrounding this      บ
 บ  game, I must ask this question: If you're going to steal a game, for      บ
 บ  whatever reason, WHY a pinball game? Ok, enuff of that crap already..     บ
 บ  When I was leeching it, I thought, "Another pinball game, big fucken      บ
 บ  deal.." but when I played it, I thought, "Yup, another fucken pinball     บ
 บ  game, this one just a little nicer." And that's exactly what it is. It    บ
 บ  is a little nicer than all the others though.                             บ
 บ                                                                            บ
 บ      The table is a lot larger, as the game is played full screen, and     บ
 บ  not in a window. It's bigger proportionally too, so it's got BIGGER       บ
 บ  BALLS!! heh heh.. Never thought I'd be able to say that in a review.      บ
 บ  Anyway, for the most part, it's just another pinball game, but if you     บ
 บ  don't already have 50 of em by now, check this one out. It's not half     บ
 บ  bad.                                                                      บ

 บ      Hmm another dos to Win95 port... Lesse there were a couple others     บ
 บ  too, and it's no surprise that this one sucks too. They could've added    บ
 บ  at least SOMETHING... My first thought, was, "Cool.. MKIII in Win95..     บ
 บ  NETPLAY!" But unfortunately, it didn't happen. No netplay, no new         บ
 บ  nothing. To boot, this version really eats up memory or something, cuz    บ
 บ  it swaps like a bitch, for little shit, like when the dude says Finish    บ
 บ  Him and shit.                                                             บ

 บ      Oh, THIS version is also 43 fucking disks for some odd reason. The    บ
 บ  original MKIII was somewhere in the 20 range I think. Anyway, we all      บ
 บ  know what MKIII is, and this is exactly the same shit we already seen a   บ
 บ  while ago, plus the fact that it swaps so bad when the original didn't,   บ
 บ  makes this a real dud. Get the original from someone on #oldwarez or      บ
 บ  something.                                                                บ

 บ      POINTS : 57 - Sure, I prolly woulda released it too, just cuz it's    บ
 บ                    MKIII, but it still sucks.                              บ

 บ      Hi, I was reading the latest tgr (which rulez) and noticed you had    บ
 บ  problems running bug, I have exactly the same setup as you (apart from I  บ
 บ  have a p-100 chip) the problem is with direct draw, not bug or win95,     บ
 บ  its the diamond cards drivers, I had EXACTLY the same message, I          บ
 บ  installed a normal s3 driver in '95 now the games works fine :0. Try it,  บ
 บ  this game rulez, and I think it might be worth reviewing in tgr when u    บ
 บ  see it...                                                                 บ

 บ      Maybe Diamond Multimedia should sort themselves out, I have had       บ
 บ  nothing but problems with mine... its cause they are money leeching       บ
 บ  fukers :), and wont write a specific driver unless they are paid          บ
 บ  millions by the company developing the offending software. Anyway, as I   บ
 บ  said : BUG is kewl... try it.. just install a normal s3 driver instead    บ
 บ  of the DS64 one.                                                          บ

 บ      Damn, this guy should work for TGR.. heh heh.. HEAR THAT DIAMOND??    บ
 บ  YOU SUCK! But, I used the standard defacto (err ummm yeah) S3 driver and  บ
 บ  it worked just fine. I thank everyone who sent me mail about this game.   บ
 บ  Now, what about the game?? It ROCKS! I'm not sure what kind of scrolling  บ
 บ  it's called, but imagine a 3rd person scrolly adventure like Sonic, or    บ
 บ  Pitfall, but where you can turn all 4 directions and have your back or    บ
 บ  front to the camera as well. Combine that with camera zooming at the      บ
 บ  right times and that's how BUG! works. The basic idea is to walk around   บ
 บ  this 3d world and kill these other bugs by jumping on top of them Mario   บ
 บ  style.                                                                    บ
 บ                                                                            บ
 บ      You're also sposed to grab stuff along the way. Gameplay was just     บ
 บ  like most scrollies, with the exception that you can go towards the       บ
 บ  camera and away from it. The only real bitch I have with it, is that      บ
 บ  when you die, you have to start all the way back at the very beginning    บ
 บ  of the level. You'd think they woulda put some kind of save spot or       บ
 บ  something in it. (Maybe there is, but I was only able to play the 1st     บ
 บ  level, cuz it's late, I need sleep, and this needs to be done :) No       บ
 บ  problems with speed or anything else with this one though. Ran great in   บ
 บ  a hefty size window. You can play it in a few different screen modes,     บ
 บ  windowed, or about 7 full screen modes, going all the way up to 640x480.  บ
 บ  You must run it in 256 color, and it wont let you play unless 95's in     บ
 บ  8bit mode. I can't give this one a 90+ on the points scale, cuz it just   บ
 บ  sucks too bad when you die, but it's a keeper!                            บ
 บ                                                                            บ
 บ      POINTS : 86 - You really oughtta leech this just to see something     บ
 บ                    new and exciting!                                       บ

 บ  - In last week's issue (I knew I wasn't going nuts) there were two games  บ
 บ    in the Bubble Bobble Combo, one was the game Bubble Bobble (which I     บ
 บ    remembered but didn't play) and the other was some rainbow game (and    บ
 บ    an enhanced version of it).  The .exe's were bb.exe and rainbow.exe,    บ
 บ    and when I ran the bb.exe it just stayed in dos, so that is why I used  บ
 บ    the rainbow.exe, because I was in the /game directory, and forgot       บ
 บ    about the bubble.bat.                                                   บ
 บ                                                                            บ
 บ    Anyway, Bobble Bubble is that game that was on Nintendo and was like    บ
 บ    really fun and stuff and that we all loved to play for hours on end.    บ
 บ    The only bad thing about these games is your limited to the # of        บ
 บ    continues and so you can't just beat the game if you played it for 5    บ
 บ    hours, you'd actually have to be one hell of a kick ass player.  The    บ
 บ    other bad thing about it is the controls, but I mentioned that          บ
 บ    already.                                                                บ

 บ    The correct rating for the package + the 2 fixes is 52/100.             บ
 บ                                                                            บ
