Okay, something to think about.
This game session is a bit weird for me as these games are a bit full-on
to say the least.

This is pretty imperessive, but it hasn't impressed me as much as SWIV,
and with all this action and insane levels of blasting, I'm finding it
quite tough to concentrate on all 3 games.

A bit more like SWIV, I liked this a lot. Not quite an full-on intense as
SWIV, but oh boy, don't the places to hide from the incoming projectiles
get small?!
And what's that intro sound? Is it really supposed to be "Welcome to
Battle Squadron" ? :)
I like the music a lot though - its got some almsot C64 flourishes, and I
mean that in a good way. The animation doesn't seem quite as slick as in
SWIV, but the slightly different pace makes it a good vacation from that
game.
As I say, this is a bit odd for me, becaue although I'm partial to an
occasional blast, its not really my chosen genre. I'm used to games with a
slower pace, and here we are with 3 no-nonsense, balls-out plasma fests.
Oh, and I appreciate I should be too embarassed to ask, but I'm not, so
how do you access the ground vehicle in SWIV?
I'm still tring to beat ItCame From the Desert, and I have made it into
the
nest, but I think I may have left it to late - there are so many ants down
there, I never seem to get to the Queen, might just be my poor game skills
though. :)
All the best,
Angus Manwaring. (for e-mail remove
