Un-Releastic: "I have never played a game I didn't like." -Stu Pid Fewl Realistic : "This game sucks!" -Ionizer *Always read the beginning of this magazine AND the closings 4 important nfo* -As many of you know, or don't know by now, another mag has hit the dust. RCN is no longer, at least with it's original editors. They released their `farewell' issue #13, which I'm now told was just to let people know that some ppl were leaving. So, what does this mean for TGR? Well, absolutely nothing. TGR will continue it's tradition of being on time, accurate, and dependable (Hey, just like the weather channel ). TGR will *NEVER* *EVER* again be `dedicated' to one mag. Any magazine can feel free to include TGR, but TGR will *ALWAYS* be released seperately on sunday. RCN's new editors have informed me that they want TGR in there future issues, so it will also be available in RCN, but I don't like to have to rely on other people, so to be safe and sure, you can always get the new TGR from me on sundays. ============================================ HOW TO GET THIS MAGAZINE ON A REGULAR BASIS: -------------------------------------------- ("WHERE and WHEN can I GET The Game Review?"

RATING: NA/100 Gazillionaire Gold (c) Spectrum Holobyte xx/23 A new enhanced version of this excellent game for Win 3.x / Win 95 -I'm pretty sure this has been out before, but supposively this is an "enhan- ced" version. Anyway, it takes place in outer space. You compete against computer players and try to become the riches one in the end. It's for win/ win95, and it's nothing to go brag about. Doesn't look to fun either.

It's an adventure game, and your a pirate or at least a wannabe pir8. Your on some quest, who knows what it is, or cares. This game is pretty dull and boring.

You know, you think game companies would have realized that "tetris" like games became boring about 4 years ago. It's only a slight twist of the original game, but not much variety from the original. It's quality, but who the hell wants it, unless your looking for some lame game to just put on a computer in windows, for no reason whatsoever.

To start off with, if you don't like the default keyboard settings, then tough luck, because if you change them you'll get a shitload of errors when you try to play. The game is no different then when I reviewed it back in issue #13, except this one has no sound problems, so here's last weeks review. "-They only WISH this platform game could compare to Rayman, as stated it could in the TEC .nfo. It's your typical platform game with your guy with a gun. He runs, he shoots, but he doesn't score. Your Johnny Bazookamotherfucka, you got this weird bazooka gun, that you can play like a guitar sometimes, & then it emits a huge blast.......The graphics are ok, but we've seen better, and this game just isn't put together very well. RATING: 44/100" I'd also like to add, that it's pretty hard, cause every little stupid thing you touch, whacks off an energy level, and you only start out with three. This makes it pretty damn difficult when half the time you just have to be near something and it will act as if you touched it, damn lack of consistency. Crusade (c) Greenwood Entertainment [01/10] _ ________________________ _____ ________ _ \\_____ \_____ \_____ \/ . \\_____ \\ dZG/\ __// _ |/ ____/. | \/\ __/ _/ \ \/ /_ _/ /_ | ! _/ \ \ \____\ \______\_________|_____\____\ \_ =======\___/===ù1911ùCDùDIVISIONù======\___/ It's pretty much safe to say that this is a bad Heroes of Might and Magic. It's the typical strategy game of building up an army to conquer the world. The graphics are somewhat fuzzy and ugly, and the music sounds like it would just as well be coming out of the pc speaker. The game has all the little itty bitty details, such as wounded and plagued soliders, alliances, towns w/ X amount of X kind of people. It's just not very attractive looking.

Well this leet group Raiden decided to release it, and since some of you, not caring, d/l it or might want to know what it is, I'll review it anyway. I know it takes a genius to figure this one out, but it's a crossword game! Yeah, just like in the paper, that thingi thats black and white and has all those schoolish word stuff around it, and is near the comics. Anyway, it's nothing special, but I guess it would be good for your great grandma if she's got a lot of time to kill down in Florida. RATING: 41/100 CONQUER!

Not exactly warcraft or c&c, but fun to play, especially for its size. (=[O2/O4/96]================================) You see the one disk, you see its for windows, and you've never heard of it before. You can judge on your own what this one is like, yes garbage. Pers- onally, I don't think it would be worth it for it's size if it were 10k. Ugly icon oriented wannabe war strategy game. Only person I could picture playing this is some lamer who just got a computer and has never seen any- thing else on a computer.

It's just dumb pictures of exotic fish that most of you would rather be eating then looking at on your computer. What? You want me to tell you what kind of fish it's got?

It's just like Panzeer General. It's from SSI which, as you should know by now, means it's a strategic game. It's still a beta, but it doesn't look much different from any other of those strategic games like this. RATING: 48/100 Mad Dog McCree - FULL CD-ROM XX/56 An Independent Release -Well they claim the previous release was just a demo, and since I don't recall it, i'll review this ancient shit anyway. It's that game you've seen in the arcade about 3 years ago. The one with the guns and the video. You gotta shoot the people at the right time, or else you die. It's a shoot'em' up game, with a plot. The graphics, however, are very grainy and blocky, and not as good as the arcade. It will also take up a nice 115 megs. It's the same as the arcade, except poorer graphics, so base it on that. RATING: 61/100 Title Fight Boxing x/2 ÛßßÜ ÜÜÜ Û ÜÜ Û Û Û Û Û Û ßÜ ÜÜÜÜ ÛÜ Û ÛßßÜ ÛßßÛ Û Û Û Û Û ßÜÛ Û Û Û Û Û Û Û ÛÜÜ Û Û Û Û Û Û Û ÛÜÜß ÛÜÜÜ Û Another lame release from Raiden. This one is a boxing sim for windows. You don't actually get to box, so if you were thinking you were, you're wrong. You pretty much manage players, yes, you're the next Don King, to make them worthy of competing against. I guarantee you won't flip over it. RATING: 33/100 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- <*>GAME OF THE WEEK<*> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -This was a very sad week for quality. No game this week deserves GOTW, b/c they all sucked balls. If your desperate for something however, I'd suggest either Johnny Bazookatone, or Crusade. Although neither are really good, they are the best this week had to offer. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- <*>UPCOMING RELEASE DATES<*> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -All projected dates are as of January 30th, 1996 and based on store release dates.

I realize I sometimes do not have current win95 releases review- ed. The reason for this is b/c I refuse to run win95. I have another comp in my house which has win95 on it, but in order to try the games out, I need to copy it all to disk and then back onto a computer again. I am in the pro- cess of setting up a network b/t the two computers, and as soon as that is accomplished the reviews for win95 games will be more up to date. Sorry for the inconvenience, but if you don't like it then kiss my ass. -NEEDED: Someone to run a web page for me!
