Razor is a new shoot-em-up that goes back to the old days, the good old 2D shoot-em-up. It is being developed by a Brazilian Amiga user called Dante Mendes

Razor is a horizontially strolling game with quite a resemablace to games like R-Type and Project-X. After playing the demo I have to say that the graphics are excellent and even at this stage the game plays very well.

To run the game requires a base A1200 with at least some Fast RAM. However, it recommends that you also have some kind of accelerator. The game runs very smooth on my 030/50Mhz, I haven't had a chance to try on any other machine so I can't comment on it's speed.

Like I said before the graphics look excellent allthough tt the moment only the background graphics are rendered, in the full game, however, all the graphics should be rendered, this should make the game look excellent at least.

The full game when its released (Probably as shareware) will feature a lot more on top of what the demo contains. As well as offering a massive amount of different weapons, there will also be intro and ending sequences, more music and SFX and also the option to choose your path as you play the game.

Hopefully the game will be released in about 3-4 months, look out for more info nearer this time...

A demo of the game is available on Aminet and can be downloaded by clicking on the link below.
