Father K's New Saturn Stash!

OK! I've played 'em all a little, but I'm not gonna review any of them yet! I'm far too "emotional" (pissed) to present any kind of sensible review right now... So I'll just tell you what I've sneakily brought into the Krishna household this week... I'll review them properly one by one when I'm more sober...

Here goes... Number 1. "Tunnel B1"... This is a nice little FPS, except you're floating round in some kind of hovercraft... You've experienced a lovely little opening video with loads of lovely little opening sequence build ups, then all of a sudden you're underground, trying to shoot your way out of a labarynth of alien danger... Not bad!

Number 2. "Nascar '98"... A Sub-standard Daytona, given to us by dubious Sega sell-outs EA... Its OK but comparisons to the official title are always gonna hamper the loveliness of this particular game... again, its 'not bad' but is that gonna sell it to you? I think not...

Number 3. "Primal Rage". Think 'Mortal Kombat' but with 'Dinosaurs' and 'Ape -Men' beautifully rendered and with fab graphics for the late nineties...

Number 4. "Soviet Strike" The Cold War is still on in the land of the Saturn, this is an Amiga inspired war-sim with you in control of a US chopper... Plus fabulous Saturn video clips with superb acting... A winner!

Number 5. "Break Point" A sub-standard Virtua Tennis with sub-standard voice commentary, which sounds like Steven Hawking... Frightening!

Number 6. "Scorcher"... I thought this was gonna be High Octane on a bike... But it proved to be a lot more... Like a marble run on acid... pretty cool... So no images, no reviews, no links... Just a list of what games I scored! The more I tease you with this haul, the more interest I (might) gain...

Happy days! And all for under a tenner, on my secret credit card... More later...

Ahh... Tunnel B1, the memories...

Yes, that's right, that's another of my childhood games. I hated it back then, though, for I sucked hard at it.

Since I got my second Saturn a year ago or something that was one of the first games I tried, just to see if I still sucked that bad after so many years of intense gaming. Yes, I still suck at it...

Anyway, good picks!

You lucky lucky Father... Who wins @ Soviet Strike?

Well, you know my communist leanings Gnome, but even within the polarity of the Cold War, I never saw the Soviets as the good guys... And I will be flying a US Black Hawk in a Western game so I'm guessing it'll be the US...

Tsk, tsk... Still, one must admit the USSR wasn't an absolutely brilliant utopia. Oh well, next time will be better... If you visit the island of Icaria (a former place of exile and voting 95% communist) you'll see the only place I've seen were the world "lazy" just doesn't exist.
