-
- Games coming to a PC Screen near you in '95.
- --------------------------------------------
-
-
- Air Power - Autumn
- ------------------
- A new game from Overlord and Dawn Patrol programmers
- Rowan Software. This new flight sim will cause quite
- a stir with it's plot.
-
-
- Aliens - October
- ----------------
- Mindscape have put Cryo onto the job of making a Doom
- beater from the Aliens licence.
-
-
- Chaos Control - Spring
- ----------------------
- Infogrames have been promising CC for around a year now
- but we should hopefully see this Shoot-Em-Up out around
- February / March time. The game is a co-production between
- Philips & Infogrames which will mean the game will come out
- on CD-i before CD-ROM. Many people are expecting this to be
- another Microcosm / Novastorm sad case but from early demos
- it looks to be quite impressive.
-
- Name To Be Annouced - Autumn
- ----------------------------
- DID are working on a Helicopter game again for Ocean with
- the game coming out on CD only rather than CD / Disk as DID
- have been doing with the last couple of games (Inferno &
- TFX).
-
-
- Command & Conquer - Spring
- --------------------------
- Westwood Studios are to release an Action Strategy game
- similar to the massive hit Dune 2. The game will use an
- improved game engine & will include all the usual CD
- trimmings such as Rendered intro & cut-screens. As usual
- Virgin will be releasing the game.
-
-
- Creation - Summer
- -----------------
- All that's know about this game so far is that it uses the
- Magic Carpet engine and is based underwater. Expect the
- game out on Electronic Arts later this year.
-
-
- Dark Seed 2 - Autumn / Winter
- -----------------------------
- The follow-up to the Giger inspired Dark Seed will be
- similar to the original, only bigger and coming out on
- CD only.
-
-
- Dungeon Keeper - Winter 95 / Spring 96
- --------------------------------------
- Bullfrog have produced classics in many genres and are
- looking to take Ultima Underworld's crown for RPG.
- Peter Molyneux has hinted that the game will include
- a much improved engine from Magic Carpet.
-
-
- FX Fighter - Spring
- -------------------
- New software house GTE have signed up Argonaut's (Starwing
- & Creature Shock) beat-em-up. The game will use there
- BRender video chipset to knock Sega's Virtua Fighter into
- submission. Early screenshots have look very similar to
- Sega's new Virtua Fighter 2 & Nintendo's Killer Instinct.
-
-
- Frontier : First Encounters - Spring
- ------------------------------------
- After 8 years waiting for a sequal to David Braben's Elite
- it has taken less than 2 years to produce the next
- installment. The new game will include graphics similar
- to Frontier but more smooth. The game will be CD only
- this time giving FMV throughout. It will be interesting
- to see how the magazines see the game. After many killing
- Frontier & others saying it was a classic. Let's wait and
- see !!!
-
-
- Full Throttle - Spring
- ----------------------
- It seems to have taken LucasArts ages to release their new
- adventure game. After the classic Day Of The Tentacle &
- Sam & Max people will expect much. It's a CD only product
- (what isn't these days ?). The game is less cute than the
- last two games.
-
-
- Lands Of Lore 2 - Summer
- ------------------------
- Westwood Studios are beavering away at the follow-up to the
- hugely successful Lands Of Lore. The creators of Eye Of The
- Beholder 1 & 2 sure know a lot about RPG's and using a game
- engine similar to Dragonlore this could be their best game
- yet. As with all recent Westwood games this game will be
- distributed by Virgin.
-
-
- Mortal Kombat 2 - Early Spring
- ------------------------------
- Follow up to the mighty Mortal Kombat, MK2 is similar to the
- original with new moves & characters. The console game sold
- in bucket loads so hopefully Probe will do a job at
- converting it to the PC. The first game did well on the PC
- but the sequal is up against classics like One Must Fall &
- the soon to be released Super Street Fighter 2. One last
- point, like Streetfigter which is being made into a film
- starring Jean-Claude Van Damme & Kylie Minogue, Mortal
- Kombat is also being made into a film. This time starring
- Highlander star Christopher Lambert. Whilst on the subject
- of the Streetfigher 2 film, us Brits could end up never
- seeing the film. After 2 months of talks there have been
- no takers for the film. The big guns have complained that
- the film is to expensive.
-
-
- Quake - Winter
- --------------
- ID Software have become a household name for all those PC
- owners out there. After releasing 2 of the greatest ever
- Shareware games (Wolfenstein & Doom) and 2 not so hot
- sequals (Spear Of Destiny & Doom 2) ID are tipping Quake
- to be the next big thing. ID's Jay Wilbur has said that
- 'the game will be as big a step as Doom was to Wolfenstein'
- Like there other games the game will be released as share-
- ware.
-
-
- Sensible Golf & Sensible World Of Soccer - Spring
- -------------------------------------------------
- Sensible have been busy with a sequal and new game. S Golf
- is different to all recent golf games by using a different
- perspective. Yes Sensi Golf will use the top-down view
- seen in Sensi Soccer & Cannon Fodder. As for Sensi WOS this
- will be similar to the prequal with new management options.
-
-
- Sim Tower - Spring
- ------------------
- Get this a SIM game not written by Maxi !!! The game is
- being written by Japan's Handbook programming team but will
- be released by Maxis. It is not known if Maxis have had
- much input into the game but we'll just have to wait.
- But this isn't the only SIM game being released by Maxis
- but not being programmed by them. Sim Rainforest is being
- written by Intelligent Games and should be released around
- the same time as Sim Tower.
-
-
- The 11th Hour - God Knows When Probably By The Year 2000
- --------------------------------------------------------
- Trilobyte have taken an age to release the sequal to 7th
- Guest. Firstly the game was refused a classification
- so had to be toned down to get an 18 certificate and then
- after Access released Under A Killing Moon Trilobyte went
- back to the drawing board. Virgin will release the game
- if it ever does get finished.
-
-
- Theme Hospital - Summer
- -----------------------
- Bullfrog are giving the Theme Park make over to running
- a hosital. What else can I say ? Simply brilliant.
