The big news in the past few weeks is the release of TFX to the Amiga public. Although it hasn't actaully been released commercial but instead, is bundled free with CU Amiga Magazine it is still a landmark for many Amiga owners. Yes thats right you don't even have to pay for, as long as you buy the CD-ROM version of CU Amiga the game is yours. Excellent you make think, well in the eyes of some, this is not so.
Already there has been a barrage of complaints about the game ranging from the fact that the 040 version doesn't work at all to picking out small bugs that are still in the game. This, IMO is completly pathetic, what right to people have to moan about something when they got it free? I mean if you got a free TV would you moan because the remote didn't work (Assuming, for arguments sake that it can be controlled via the TV itself) ? No. So why moan when a FREE game has a few problems? Does this further prove the accusations that Amiga owners are a bucnh of whiners? Opinions please...
As it goes I quite enjoy the game myself and haven't really had any problems regarding bugs, maybe I'm just a lucky one. One thing that does detract from it however is the lack of documentation, this makes the game quite hard to play as quite a few keys are missing as well as other information that is required to play the game to it's full, however, CU Amiga will be publishing further details in their next issue. Some very important keys that are missing are: C - Change Target, Z - Ground missile guiding view, X - Lock target in this view, 0/. - Flares/Chaffs. Hope this helps.
On to games news featured this wekk. Some updated screenshots of Olofight and Pulsator are available, as is an exclusive look at a new game called Blade. Also please check out the Most Eagerly Awaited Game survey. Here you can tell moe what game you are most looking forward too. All results will be published on the webpage/magazine for you to see.
