It was PISSING me off SO FUCKING much. My comm program, which ran fine at first, just decided to lock up, under win95 only, and so many other retarded things. I couldn't stand wait- ing forever to boot up and looking at that ugly ass logo, just so I could shell in dos. It was just so stupid. I like my system the way it is, let them make programs to support me, and not me have to support them to run their crap. And don't tell me it's b/c I have a 486, it had nothing to do with the speed , it just sucks, let all the fucking macintosher's go use it to move over to pc's but I'm not going to fucking use it. I might install it sometime in the future when I have more time to fix the crap up, but not now. -Feel free to send in your win95 game reviews to my email address. -Tons of shit this week, although half didn't work or wasn't poor quality, so excuse me for any errors or not correctly installing because I was rushed into getting this one out. -The Toshinden move list is in the closing section. ============================================ HOW TO GET THIS MAGAZINE ON A REGULAR BASIS: -------------------------------------------- (WHERE and WHEN can I GET The Game Review?

First there was the crack.exe, which wouldn't work because it was meant for the original .exe. Then came the cracked ewj2.exe, but when I ran this one, it said, "The file ewj2.dat has incorrect timestamp. Get the right one." Kind of a rude message, get the right one, ahah. Anyway, we're still on the look for a working crack/fix to make it work in dos.

The menus and stuff are in german though. You should still be able to set it up. Ignore the music/sfx test in the install, it doesn't work. Once you install it, you load it up, and can play. It's a pretty good soccer game, nice and close up views. However I got divide overflow errors and stuff, and it's a pain in the ass to run everytime. A nice simple easy to use English version would be nice. Still a good soccer game though.

It's an adventure game where you roam around a bunch of caverns and do the usual use/look/move/take/etc. Not much fun, although the graphics are pretty good, music is lame. Sure as hell is not worth the 192 megs it takes up. I don't know what your point is, but it has to do with like getting some pirate's treasure or something. So here's a salute: `Yo-Ho-Yo-Ho, if you d/l 57 disks for this, then you're a shmo!' (Pirates of the Caribbean at Disney world song).

By now I think we all know wtf this is. For you tarts who don't it's an excellent platform game, with a a worm with an attitude. You got a whip and gun, you shoot, you climb, you beat one enemy to go the the next. It's a great game to have and keep. See previous issue #5 <@ web page> for a more detailed look at this.

It doesn't really matter though, b/c this game is in German and the object is not clear. You role some dice, and pick some crap from a bunch of choices. I guess if ya win, that's if ya know how, then the girl will undress or some- thing. It's hard to tell what the point is, but unless you speak German don't bother, you'll be clueless. You can still look at a few decent pics .

It comes with a decent assortment of games, although half of them don't work. To use it just type "vgb-dos.exe D:\path\of\game.whatever". It has sound, which I don't believe previous versions did. It almost brings a tear to my eye to recall these games.....over the fact that I spent 80 bucks on that FUCKING B&W hunk of junk! If you like the old gameboy games and think it would be cool to keep on your computer, as cool as reading books, then this is for you, otherwise, you might want to get it, try it out and just trash it.

It was released a while ago back around TGR #12 by some group called "Death Zone". It was the same size, 15 disks, but apparently some final changes have been made. It's a pretty good tank simulator, here's the review from that issue: "This is a pretty good tank shoot em up. The graphics for the intro and game over part is pretty good. The actual game play doesn't have the best graph- ics, but they are still ok. To get started quickly, go to the briefing room on the right, then go inside the next door, and your mission begins."

[================================[05/31/96]=] This is very similar to lemmings, except it's with water droplets. You use bombs, bricks and blocks to direct the water to a safe passageway, a drain. You have a little character dude who floats around on the screen and you con- trol him with where you want to put shit. Controls: w= block, x=bomb, and the bricks are kinda weird, you need to hit c then like move to where you want it to go and then hit v . This one will keep ya busy for a bit, even though it's nothing great. Cute idea though .

It's a good rac- ing game with jeep'ish cars. You have a jump and shoot button, a variety of people to pick from, and tons of courses. The left and right steering in this game is very sensitive, it only takes a tap to turn either way, but you might find it OVERsensitive and therefore harder than if it wouldn't make the turns at all.
