-
- I'm not too sure what is in the works, but they have some great stuff.
-
- Out of This World certainly leaves room for a sequel. Interplay
- also has several other great titles which are available from Big Red
- Computer Club (info below).
-
- Dragon Wars is a role-playing type hack & slash adventure similar to Bard's
- Tale. In features automapping, and a huge world to explore. This one
- will take many days (weeks, months?) to finish.
-
- Battle Chess is a 3-D chess program that makes chess an even more sinister
- strategy game. Each piece has its own method of killing (and being killed)
- other pieces, which is animated on screen. I hope they make BC II.
-
- Neuromancer is a fascinating gem (that I didn't expect too much of when I
- got it). You control a futuristic computer hacker who can implant skills
- directly into his brain, and jockey through a 3-D array of Cyberspace
- information (once you find the right passwords and link codes) and try
- to find out what has been happening to your hacker buddies. Any modem-
- head (like me!), late-night computer hacker, or game 'cracker' will
- probably love this one. Far surpassed my expectations.
-
- Any of these are available from Big Red:
- Big Red Computer Club Out Of This World (GS) $50
- 423 Norfolk Ave Dragon Wars (GS/IIe) $25
- Norfolk, NE 68701-5234 Battle Chess (GS) $25
- Phone:(402) 379-4680 Neuromancer (GS) $15
