North and South: this one got a higher score than Dungeon Master in the british magazine ST Action. This is significant, those guys are very discriminating with their games. A semi-strategy graphics masterpiece, good sound and humorous. Based on the Civil War. 2. Blasteroids: Arcade conversion, very good. Kind of like "Super asteroids meets the transformers." Pure shoot'em up, perfect for someone who has no time for adventures. 3. Full Metal Planet: Strategy type wargame, very good graphics, extremely good sound. Futuristic robot ships fighting each other, up to 4 players either computer or human. Really unique, really fun. Disclaimer: I have no connection to the authors of the above works, nor do I or anybody I know own a computer store. These are just great games that deserve to be bought. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------+------------------------------------- Mickey Boyd | "Nobody can be exactly like me.
