Battle
of Britain (PC) |
February 16, 2001 |
It looks good
and it plays good--if you can get it running. Rowan and Empire's Battle of Britain combines strategic play
that puts most wargames to shame with the most spectacular and compelling dogfighting
since European Air War. It's buggier than Louisiana in July and may not even run on some
systems, but at its best this could be the finest combat flight sim you can legally
purchase. |
Mega Man 64 (N64)) |
Mega Man is busy
this spring. Not only has he reappeared on the GBC, and is forthcoming on the PlayStation,
but Legends has finally been brought to the N64. Mega
Man 64 is basically a port of Mega Man Legends, and it looks like a three year old
port of a marginal PSX title. It's a bit sad. Click
here for the whole spiel. |

Treehouse of Horror Preview (GBC) |
February 14, 2001 |
What's more fun than a late night fog
walk? What's more exhilarating than a pickaxe in the back? Well, hopefully it will be The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror: Night
of the Living for Game Boy Color. It just might be the best Simpson's game since the
arcade machine. Click. |
Croc 2 Review (GBC) |
Croc 2 for Game Boy Color takes a bit of a
departure from Croc games of yesteryear. Rather than a straightforward platform title, Croc 2 is an action-RPG game that plays a lot
like the original Zelda. It's not bad at all. Check
it out here. |
We Ch-Ch-Choose You! |

waiting for you. Come and get the lovin' baby. |

Mega
Man Xtreme Review (GB) |
February 12, 2001 |
Everyone's favorite
little blue avenger is back, this time for both Game Boy or Game Boy Color. In Mega Man Xtreme, the goals are pretty much
what you would expect: defeat the evil minions to reach the evil bosses, who also need
defeating, so as to save the world. Plus it looks really sweet, and it's a damn hard game.
Full story of frustration here. |

B-17
Review (PC) |
February 9, 2001 |
B17:
The Mighty Eighth allows you to fly the famous B-17 Flying Fortress Bomber
that played such a large role in the bombing raids on Germany that helped cripple German
industry and demoralize the population. B17 allows you to play from any one of the
B17s crew stations, so you can play as pilot, copilot, bomber, navigator, radio man, and ball, tail, waist or or top turret
gunner. Soar this way for more... |

The DMP-CD 100 is a Walkman-type CD player
that plays MP3s. And it works. Because its design is fairly standardit looks like
most portable CD players, but sports an attractive sea-blue caseit is easy to set up
and use. Its a reliable product that offers the amenities of the finest portable CD
playersphat bass boosters, anti-shock capabilities, a limited warrantyas well
as the ability to play and program your own MP3s. More here. |
Interact PSone Mobile Monitor Review |
By all accounts, the latest version
of Interact's Mobile Monitor for
PSone is not bad. That's the "square" version. The "oval" version,
which was the initial design, apparently has a real bad problem with color bleed, crappy
sound, and serious overheating. So what happens when you buy a defective square version,
and have that replaced with a crummy oval version? You get a review like this. Click here. |
