∫ - RATINGS are based on the game idea, graphics, sound, playability, ∫
∫ ingenuity, versatility, and a lot of other words ending in 'ity.' ∫
∫ These games are based on what happens on MY COMPUTER ONLY, unless ∫
∫ stated otherwise. I always first follow NFO directions, and if those ∫
∫ don't work or are not available, I then try other ways. So just ∫
∫ because it doesn't work for me, doesn't mean it won't work for you. ∫

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

∫ To put it short, it's 21 different games of solitaire with the ∫
∫ ability to have your cards filled with the faces of your favorite ∫
∫ political person (pff). So just when you thought you've seen enough of ∫
∫ Bob Dole and those pointless conventions, you can go home and play a ∫
∫ nice quiet game of Solitaire with his and many other faces right there ∫
∫ in front of you. They have animations too if you pick the large1 type ∫
∫ cards. Other than that it's just solitaire. You can also change the ∫
∫ background your playing on, which is kinda nice. ∫

∫ Filenames : PSGCNR??.ZIP ∫
∫ ∫
∫ This is supposed to be the final (game says v1.06) and the Coredump ∫
∫ is being called a beta (game says v1.01). However I assue you the ∫
∫ Coredump version works fine, and at least you can get sound with that ∫
∫ one. This one has no sound, even though it's included, you can't ∫
∫ actually set it up because the install.exe is missing files you need in ∫
∫ order to configure it. Here's the review from issue #36 : ∫
∫ ∫
∫ "Crusader is back, and improved. While you may go and call this ∫
∫ Crusader 2, it's really a little stretch to do that. This game is ∫
∫ pretty much exactly like the original, except a few minor improvements, ∫
∫ new levels, different exclamations from the enemies, smarter artificial ∫
∫ inteligence of the enemies, and limits on your animation (bad). While ∫
∫ some of you remember this game as "that one you could blow up everything ∫
∫ in" you will soon find this one loses some of that fun because of the ∫
∫ fact that you are limited on ammunition of even your main gun. For ∫
∫ those who didn't play the first one, the game idea is simple. It's a 3D ∫
∫ overview of rooms, you walk around, shoot people, shit that you wish you ∫
∫ could do in real life. You have tons of weapons to pick up, and so many ∫
∫ things to blow up, you could spend your entire life blowing up every ∫
∫ single thing. If you liked the first one a lot, then I still recommend ∫
∫ getting this one, although it just isn't as good and simple as the first ∫
∫ one. ∫
∫ ∫
∫ If you thought the first one was so-so-good, then well you really ∫
∫ don't need to check this one out, because it isn't much different. I ∫
∫ would have thought they could have made some more improvements to the ∫
∫ game, add some better features, and improve it a little more than they ∫
∫ did. When you hit "s" it also will make an annoying beep sound (it gets ∫
∫ annoying trust me) if there is nothing to use it for. Also, they didn't ∫
∫ really improve on the game engine, which although good, could have used ∫
∫ some bug-like fixes. Still a great game, make sure ya get the save game ∫
∫ fix (which is just a stupid .com file to make a dir "savegame" in your ∫
∫ game dir), and the music addon for music. Oh, one more thing, the ∫
∫ install.exe you are supposed to run to set the sound, it takes quite a ∫
∫ while to load, so don't go rebooting your machine when all it does is ∫
∫ sit their for about anywhere from 10-20 seconds with a black screen, the ∫
∫ regret.exe will also take quite a while to load up, just be patient. ∫
∫ Also, there are some rumors about this being a `beta.' ∫
∫ ∫
∫ As far as I can tell, the game runs fine, exactly like the first ∫
∫ did, and there really is NO PROOF that this is not the final. Oh and ∫
∫ ONE more thing, on level 1, at one point in time you will be given a ∫
∫ code #121 for those keypads, the correct # is really #122, I don't know ∫
∫ if the game was designed to do that, but it's not #121. ∫
∫ ∫
∫ RATING : 81/100" ∫
∫ ∫
∫ Welp this one is the supposed final, so if you didn't get it the ∫
∫ first time, get it now, and see if you can get some kind of sound addon, ∫
∫ because without one it will be quite dull, although it will move a lot ∫
∫ faster. Rating drops down a few points because there is no sound. ∫

∫ Well this game just about sucks balls better than that hooker last ∫
∫ night. It's some kind of tank game for Win/Win 95, and it's hard to ∫
∫ figure out what to do. The graphics are shitty and the controls are ∫
∫ crappy, because you have to use buttons that are practically hidden in ∫
∫ the picture of your tank. Then you get to look out a shitty ∫
∫ (pehr-uh-scope) and see a crappy image, and you can slowly move it at ∫

∫ Sorry I don't remember the un-supah version of this great game, but ∫
∫ this one is definately Super! All kinds of missions to play with this ∫
∫ jetfighter sim. From intercepting russian Migs to bombing runs at sea, ∫
∫ it's all here. You'll definately wanna break out the Sidewinder Pro for ∫
∫ this, as it makes full use of the POV hat, rudder, and all 4 buttons. ∫
∫ Too bad it didn't have any way to configure the 4 assignable buttons, ∫
∫ but we can't have everything I guess. If you got other flight equip, ∫
∫ like pedals and etc, it'll support that too. ∫
∫ ∫
∫ There's quite a few controls to mess with, anything from radar ∫
∫ functions to in-flight refueling mechanisms to counter measures. You ∫
∫ also get to fly with a wingman which talks to you in that leet jetjockey ∫
∫ slang. You can tell him what to do as well, like break right/left, go ∫
∫ after certain targets, cover your tail, and etc. The speech wasn't ∫
∫ ripped either, so you've got all kinds of radio chatter in the ∫
∫ background too. ∫
∫ ∫
∫ Speaking of sound, man, never let someone get a radar lock on you, ∫
∫ it's REAL annoying, and maybe that's the point. :) The directx sound ∫
∫ screwed up on my system, garbling it, and making real nasty screeching ∫
∫ sounds, but I don't think it was the games fault. I'll have to go ∫
∫ through and screw with my drivers. Anyway, the grafix were great, ∫
∫ smooth even on this shitty dram stealth. Of course if it's choppy for ∫
∫ you, it's got a couple grafix switches to mess with like detail levels, ∫
∫ and high/low res. ∫
∫ ∫
∫ All in all, a great game if you've got the time to sit down and ∫
∫ figure out the controls, and learn the cockpit (huh huh he said CockPit) ∫
∫ and HUD. ∫
∫ ∫
∫ As a rule, I *really* don't like to give out anything higher than an ∫
∫ 85, but this one, in my book, has earned it. I've played quite a few ∫
∫ sims, and this is one of the best ( 2nd only to Gunship for the C=64!! ∫

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

∫ MORTAL KOMBAT III for Windows 95 01/43 ∫

∫ ∫
∫ Hmm another dos to Win95 port... Lesse there were a couple others ∫
∫ too, and it's no surprise that this one sucks too. They could've added ∫
∫ at least SOMETHING... My first thought, was, "Cool.. MKIII in Win95.. ∫
∫ NETPLAY!" But unfortunately, it didn't happen. No netplay, no new ∫
∫ nothing. To boot, this version really eats up memory or something, cuz ∫
∫ it swaps like a bitch, for little shit, like when the dude says Finish ∫
∫ Him and shit. ∫
∫ ∫
∫ Oh, THIS version is also 43 fucking disks for some odd reason. The ∫
∫ original MKIII was somewhere in the 20 range I think. Anyway, we all ∫
∫ know what MKIII is, and this is exactly the same shit we already seen a ∫
∫ while ago, plus the fact that it swaps so bad when the original didn't, ∫
∫ makes this a real dud. Get the original from someone on #oldwarez or ∫
∫ something. ∫
∫ ∫
∫ POINTS : 57 - Sure, I prolly woulda released it too, just cuz it's ∫
∫ MKIII, but it still sucks. ∫

∫ All I can say is.. WOW! This game kicks ass, once I actually figured ∫
∫ out the problem... A BIG, HUGE, ass kissin goes out to: FuJY ∫
∫ [Axis/Guild/RDM/P$P] who mailed me this: ∫
∫ ∫
∫ Date: Tue, 10 Sep 1996 01:58:34 +0100 ∫
∫ From: FuJY <fujy@xxxxx.xxxx.xxx> ∫
∫ To: pathos@ns2.clever.net ∫
∫ Subject: Bug ∫
∫ ∫
∫ Hi, I was reading the latest tgr (which rulez) and noticed you had ∫
∫ problems running bug, I have exactly the same setup as you (apart from I ∫
∫ have a p-100 chip) the problem is with direct draw, not bug or win95, ∫
∫ its the diamond cards drivers, I had EXACTLY the same message, I ∫
∫ installed a normal s3 driver in '95 now the games works fine :0. Try it, ∫
∫ this game rulez, and I think it might be worth reviewing in tgr when u ∫
∫ see it... ∫
∫ ∫
∫ Maybe Diamond Multimedia should sort themselves out, I have had ∫
∫ nothing but problems with mine... its cause they are money leeching ∫
∫ fukers :), and wont write a specific driver unless they are paid ∫
∫ millions by the company developing the offending software. Anyway, as I ∫
∫ said : BUG is kewl... try it.. just install a normal s3 driver instead ∫
∫ of the DS64 one. ∫
∫ ∫
∫ Thanks! ∫
∫ ∫
∫ C Yer, and thanks on some class reviews :) ∫
∫ ∫
∫ FuJY [Axis/Guild/RDM/P$P] ∫
∫ ∫
∫ Damn, this guy should work for TGR.. heh heh.. HEAR THAT DIAMOND?? ∫
∫ YOU SUCK! But, I used the standard defacto (err ummm yeah) S3 driver and ∫
∫ it worked just fine. I thank everyone who sent me mail about this game. ∫
∫ Now, what about the game?? It ROCKS! I'm not sure what kind of scrolling ∫
∫ it's called, but imagine a 3rd person scrolly adventure like Sonic, or ∫
∫ Pitfall, but where you can turn all 4 directions and have your back or ∫
∫ front to the camera as well. Combine that with camera zooming at the ∫
∫ right times and that's how BUG! works. The basic idea is to walk around ∫
∫ this 3d world and kill these other bugs by jumping on top of them Mario ∫
∫ style. ∫
∫ ∫
∫ You're also sposed to grab stuff along the way. Gameplay was just ∫
∫ like most scrollies, with the exception that you can go towards the ∫
∫ camera and away from it. The only real bitch I have with it, is that ∫
∫ when you die, you have to start all the way back at the very beginning ∫
∫ of the level. You'd think they woulda put some kind of save spot or ∫
∫ something in it. (Maybe there is, but I was only able to play the 1st ∫
∫ level, cuz it's late, I need sleep, and this needs to be done :) No ∫
∫ problems with speed or anything else with this one though. Ran great in ∫
∫ a hefty size window. You can play it in a few different screen modes, ∫
∫ windowed, or about 7 full screen modes, going all the way up to 640x480. ∫
∫ You must run it in 256 color, and it wont let you play unless 95's in ∫
∫ 8bit mode. I can't give this one a 90+ on the points scale, cuz it just ∫
∫ sucks too bad when you die, but it's a keeper! ∫
∫ ∫
∫ POINTS : 86 - You really oughtta leech this just to see something ∫
∫ new and exciting! ∫

∫ ∫
∫ - In last week's issue (I knew I wasn't going nuts) there were two games ∫
∫ in the Bubble Bobble Combo, one was the game Bubble Bobble (which I ∫
∫ remembered but didn't play) and the other was some rainbow game (and ∫
∫ an enhanced version of it). The .exe's were bb.exe and rainbow.exe, ∫
∫ and when I ran the bb.exe it just stayed in dos, so that is why I used ∫
∫ the rainbow.exe, because I was in the /game directory, and forgot ∫
∫ about the bubble.bat. ∫
∫ ∫
∫ Anyway, Bobble Bubble is that game that was on Nintendo and was like ∫
∫ really fun and stuff and that we all loved to play for hours on end. ∫
∫ The only bad thing about these games is your limited to the # of ∫
∫ continues and so you can't just beat the game if you played it for 5 ∫
∫ hours, you'd actually have to be one hell of a kick ass player. The ∫
∫ other bad thing about it is the controls, but I mentioned that ∫
∫ already. ∫
∫ ∫
∫ The correct rating for the package + the 2 fixes is 52/100. ∫
