A few words on a new game I picked up,

SwitchBlade II, leap, slash and blast your way through six large levels filled 
with all manner of mechanical opponents, buy new weapons at the half way shop,
power, run out of ammo ? Get in close and beat the hell out them with your 
sword...

SwitchBlade II is a good game, nice clear arcade quality graphics, adequate 
sound, fast addictive gameplay and suitably large (The levels are big for a 
game of this kind) I'm not sure just how long it would take a competent 
game-player to complete but I'm sure it would last a while.

Thats really about it, jump about shoot things, but its done really well, the
graphics have a distinct Japanese feel about them (well your hero is called 
Hiro) Typically several different class of weapons are available, along with 
you extra men, power-up and energy restoring pick-ups, completlely un-original
but a very good game.

Thats all for now,

P.s If !Anyone! out there has got past mission 5 in The Killing Cloud !Please!
mail me.
