Burnout Multiple player car bash'em up Mark Sheeky Vulcan Software Released back in January, Burnout is a multiple player car bashing fun game containing awsome graphics and music. Could have done with a CD release with it coming on 6 disks. 85%

9

Trapped 2 3D RPG Oxyron New Generation/ Islona Trapped the orginal got 87%, so it was clear that the sequel was going to need much to improve on the orginal but developers Oxyron pulled it off with it containing a whole new 3D world with sloping floors, stairs, improved graphics and new weapons with new bad guys to take out. .

8

Tiny Troops Strategy Unknown Vulcan Software Tiny Troops is an absorbing strategy game with the added bonus of having a two player option. You can find helpful tips for Tiny Troops in the Tips section, although I still havn't completed it yet. 93%

7
Testament Doom clone Unknown Islona Testament was a game with Gameplay and contained the element of fear epecially with it's sound effects and monsters. Try out the demo available from Aminet to find out exactly what I mean. .

6
Big Red Adventure Adventure Unknown Power Computing The second game from Power Computing was like Breathless, another great game this time an adventure. .

5

Shadow of the Third Moon Comanche-like flight simulator Black Blade Software Titan Computer Shadow of the Third Moon offers realistic aerial fight combat full of missions. A follow up to this title may perhaps come. .

4

The Final Odyssey Puzzling Action Adventure Peter Spinaze Vulcan Software It's just arrived in the last week or so, and it's absolutely full of Gameplay with on screen action everywhere.

Myst Puzzling Adventure . ClickBOOM A mammoth adventure taking place on an island with puzzles to solve and breathtaking graphics to take in. To Be Reviewed Soon

2

Uropa² Puzzling Shoot'em up Austex Software Vulcan Software If OnEscapee had not of come in the last few days, Uropa² would have been the number one game this year. A well designed and challenging game; Austex Software have included so many clever ideas into this title that it's been a joy to play. Vulcan's second CD-Rom title is without a doubt it's best so far. 94%

1

OnEscapee Action Adventure Invictus Team Sadeness Software OnEscapee just arrived in the last couple of days and since it's arrival, I haven't stopped playing. The intro makes it seem more like a movie and the attention the developers have took with the detailed graphics and planning of this title much be congratulated. Their hard work has left me speechless, it's almost like a dream game - expect it's for real. If you want to only buy one game then make sure it's this one, you won't regret it. To Be Reviewed Soon
