- @5So those are the machine specs needed. Not much, is it? But is it worth going
- out and buying? Well.......YES!!! One of the most excellent graphic
- adventures I have ever had the pleasure to play. The animation runs amazingly
- smooth, even on a bog standard 1 meg A500. The disk swapping is kept to a bare
- minimum (non at all if you have a hard drive). The graphics are very lush to
- say the least and fit the plot perfectly, but that's enough of that. Whats it
- all about? Well, the game is all about Conrad Hard, a man in the 21st century
- (oooooh!) who finds out that the earth and a few other planets, are being over
- run by aliens in the guise of humans (eeeeeer! just like V). Anyway, as soon
- as the aliens find out that Conrad knows about them, they decide to ask him
- nicely to forget (with a rudy great lazer gun thingymabob). Anyway, to cut a
- long story short, you have to control Conrad and help him to regain his memory,
- so he can finally destroy all alien type scum off the face of the planet (and
- their planet (and a few other planets)). So if you haven't bought it yet, then
- don`t waste any more time, go buy it now, you won`t regret it.@1

- @5Machine specs above as before (and just about the same as before). Is this one
- worth buying as well? Well, in not to many words, YES!!! Why? Well, I`m
- going to tell you I am. When this came out on the PC it was frigin' amazing to
- put not to fine a point on it. See this running on an IBM PC 486 with a 800mb
- hard drive and a VGA graphics card (Yes, we get the point!), then you see what
- an amazing game this is, especially when run on an A500. You see how amazing
- the programmers had to be to get so much information on such a low memory
- machine ( 1meg is not a lot) considering most PCs have between 4 and 40 meg (ok
- maybe not 40) at hand to run there programs (they need most of it to run the
- vastly inferior Windows program (just remember it may only have 1 or 2meg but
- it is still the best machine in the world!!)), as above the disk swapping is
- kept to a minimum and the graphics are dark and gloomy which adds to the effect
- of a dark future scenario, but what is it all about, well its set in the not to
- distant future of business crime and corruption, you must work your way around
- the world, killing or persuading country leaders to join your worthwhile quest
- for world domination, you control upto 4 syndicate agants at a time with a
- lethal cocktail of armourment from a pistol to a gause gun (personal rocket
- launcher to you and me) to help you in your 30 or so missions. So as before if
- you haven't got it already, don't wait long to get it as I dont think that they
- will be around for long.@1
