The Ancient Land of Ys-a Japanese RPG
Nineteen eighty-nine seems destined to be the year when the wavering boundary between computer games and videogames is finally shattered. With the release of Legend of Zelda, Nintendo showed the world that it was possible (and highly profitable) to create a videogame with classic role-playing features. It didn't take long for others to follow. Last year Sega released three games almost simultaneously: PhantasyStar, MiracleWarriors and Ys, The Vanished Omen. Not only are all of these games deeply riveted in the RPG tradition, but the last one also bears a striking resemblance to the game I'm reviewing at this very moment-for both the Ys games were derived from a runaway hit Japanese computer game. the land. It's up to you to use every resource at hand to fmd the six magic books and defeat the evil Malificus, restoring Ys to its accustomed prosperity. (This would probably make it a good game for librarians frustrated by people with long overdue books.) You kick off the quest in the town of Minea. A humble peasant with no weapon or armor, not even any skill in the art of combat, you must use your life savings of a thousand gold pieces to outfit yourself with basic sword and armor. Without these essentials you won't last Type: Action long outside Role-playing the city Systems: IBM gates.

War on Drugs Expanded to Fantasy Lands!
President Bush recently expanded his new drug plan to include certain herbs and other ingredients of various magical formulae and potions commonly used in most fantasy lands. In addition to military support, Bush announced financial aid will be sent to rulers of all fantasy lands willing to provide local farmers with substitute crops: instead of growing the exotic herbs and spices used to boost Strength and other traits, for instance, they'll be encouraged to plant fields of oat bran, granola and wheat germ. Marines are being sent to Sosaria to uproot hard-to-find fields of nightshade and mandrake root, while Deruvia's mushroom crops and the Great Underground Empire's popular Spenseweed are expected to suffer the same fate. A 100acre Spenseweed plantation, discovered in a remote section of Quendor last week, was incinerated with the assistance of Nancy Reagan's pet dragons. Already, some realms have announced support of Bush's new plan. Freebasing toadstool power was outlawed in Gwydion last week, the Oriental land of Khantun banned mind elixirs, and Flatheadia shut down every Flat head shop in the kingdom. Albion's Queen Gloriana even announced a number of notorious citizens will be required to change their names. Meanwhile, the insidious "Herb Cartel" has stepped up its campaign to intimidate judges on the verge of reinstating extradition treaties with the USA. Calling themselves "The Teleportables," they have already Fireballed a pub in Skara Brae, Lightning Bolted the Bank of Zork, Sand Stormed every major castle in Phlan, MIBLed all the guards in Thalen, Cleeshed a prominent candidate in Aquitania's upcoming presidential election, Magic Missiled an orb factory in lower Landor, and cast Hold Person spells on the entire parliament of CRON.

Letter3 to the Editor
Dear QuestBusters: Your magazine's sense of humor is great, and the recent "Nintendo Booth Collapses" headline was outrageously funny! Stephen King, Bob Guerra and the others make even the dullest games fun to read about. On another subject, I don't enjoy reviews of games for only one system and think you should just cover those for two or more different computers. I usually read all reviews about Apple games, since I have a GS. I also want to commend you on your CES reports, and ask why not make Keys two-and-a-half pages? DueyHua

SSI's Sword of Aragorn

SSI is calling this IBM product a "fantasy/strategy game," which we're interpreting as a "war game with magic." At first glance it looks like more tactical combat with no puzzles, but we'll take a closer look next month.
New from New World Computing
King's Bounty is a one-character RPG in which you track down a weird assortment of villains in the future. But you're assigned a different collection of bad guys with each game, so there's plenty ofreplay value. We saw a beta version back in May, and the animation was amazingly fast and detailed. The Apple (128K) was timed for November. We are urging subscribers not fly to Japan to get a copy of Tunnels & Trolls, which was released there first-their IBM clone version will not work on American machines, so hold your breath till March, when we'll see T & There.

Keys Wanted: $5 Each!

We're going to try a new system for two months to see if it attracts more contributions to Keys to the Kingdoms. Instead of awarding two contributors with the game of their choice each month (whether their clues were published or not), we'll pay $5 for each one actually published. The more clues and tips included in your entry, the better chance it has of being used. This will cost us about twice as much as the current system, but hopefully will be a bit more fair and generate more Keys.

On the Dragon Warspath

Dragon Wars should definitely be out by now for the Apple.
ORIGIN Ships Fall Releases
Windwalker (Moebius If) and Space Rogue were set to ship in September for IBM and Apple. Knights of Legend was planned for an October release, with a 64 version to follow.
Then you'll be thrilled to hear we're dumping all game reviews and turning QB into a computer humor magazine: National Computing Lampoon. Getting serious for a moment (which is becoming harder to do every day), ifwe implemented your idea about one-system games, you'd never have read about Alien Mind or Dream Zone in QB, since when first released they were available only for the GS. Before expanding Keys again, we're going to see how it goes in getting enough clues to fill two pages. See the news item to your immediate left for the latest policy shift in this area.
Dear QuestBusters: How about some personals on you and the other reviewers? Fred J. Phillips
Conversions of Cucamongaville
Amiga and ST versions of Times of Lore arrived safely, but the Amiga Ultima V probably won't show up till November. Sierra's new, enhanced Amiga gamesSpace Quest III, King's Quest IV and Manhunter San Francisco-should be hitting the shelves by now, and Police Quest II Amiga is set for November. Interplay's IBM Neuromancer was set for a September ship date (contrary to rumors, an unconfirmed sequel will not be called Neuromancing the Stone). The C 64 Might & Magic II is out there, with Amiga and Mac still set for late this I year.Where in Europe is Carmen Sandiego has immigrated to the Mac and includes new features: a Crimestopper's Notebook and Factfinder's Database for keeping track of clues. The interface was also revised for the Mac, and sound and graphics have been enhanced. The Swahili translation of Questfor Clues I was delayed but should be out by Thanksgiving.
Join the Club-the Murder Club
Like Ancient Land of Ys, this is another Japanese computer game imported by Kyodai and distributed by Broderbund. It's a graphic mystery with menus in place of a parser, but looks weak.
Coming soon at a QB in your neighborhood.

Manhunter II: The Game

Sierra's latest sequel takes you to San Francisco, where you're once again wearing the robes of a Manhunter who's supposed to track down human lawbreakers for the aliens ruling the world. The IBM game is out now; it was developed with Sierra's earlier system, unlike other new releases.

Spotlight on Spotlight
Total Eclipse and Dark Side
Most graphic adventures illustrate background scenes with predrawn pictures that remain relatively static. Onscreen characters may be moved around freely, objects could be rearranged, and perhaps a bit of spot animation is seen, but the basic backdrop for all the action i~ generally fixed for any given scene. Imported from England and marketed as part of CinemaWare's Spotlight line, Dark Side and Total Eclipse are also 3-D graphic adventures-instead of giving you an onscreen character who can move around and interact with the scenery, however, both present your every move as well as various events from a firstperson perspective: you see what the character sees rather than the character. What's more, in both games you are free to move about and examine the scenery from any possible angle. As you turn to the right or left, your view changes appropriately. If you want to see what's behind a building,you simply move around it and take a look. In this Type: 3-D Graphic Adventure "Simulator" way, both Systems: Amiga Dark (512K, joystick option- Side al); C 64; IBM (CGA, and Total EGA, Tandy), ST Version reviewed: Eclipse are acC64 tually simulati ons of sorts, and like other types of simulations (tanks, planes, boat, etc.) their worlds seem more real to us because they present visual information in a way that's much closer to the way we receive it in the real world. After all, most of us don't black out momentarily to the sounds of a disk whirring every time we turn a comer, only to open our eyes a few seconds later and find ourselves on a new street! (Well at least it hasn't happened to me since the last time I drank a cursed Heal potion.) The 3-D modeling system used in both games is called Freescape, and the first time I saw it used was in Epyx' Space Station Oblivion, a British import that was called Driller over there). The British company responsible for Space Station Oblivion-Incentive Software Ltd.- is also behind both of these new titles.

Before I describe the premise for either of the new games, however, lets look at what they have in common.

of the time he was just one extra body, and the game ignored him. But every so often he'd get weird: something about him speeding alongside a moving train just struck me as funny. Many things like this can happen if you get out of sequence or do something unexpected. I got an unusual feeling of support when playing Universe. Modem Day Publishing supplies hint books for all the Omnitrend games. Their Vidcomm newsletter provides tips and clues, new scenarios for Omnitrend products like Paladin and Breach (which include construction kits) and even delivers original fiction set in the Universe universe. There are currently over 3,000 subscribers to Vidcomm, so playing Universe can almost seem like a group effort even when you are alone. Universe III, like an ever increasing number of games, uses key word copy protection. Omnitrend does not hamper the owner's ability to copy files or store them on a hard disk, but, you're required to type in a word randomly chosen from the manual. I don't know about you, but I'm getting a little sick of keeping track of 50 owners manuals and enough decoder wheels to make the CIA awfully suspicious about my activities if they ever. break into my computer room. [At least Leisure Suit Larry II used a clever variation by showing a picture of a woman from the docs and having you type in her phone number.] Buy the IBM game in a store, and you'll get a 5.25" version that can be swapped for a 3.5" from Omnitrend. Or you can buy the 3.5" format directly from the company. Conclusions: The best thing about Universe III is the effective use of sound effects and the way it wraps up the trilogy's long-running plot. The worst thing is the number of little things that aren ' t really bugs but which could have been caught by more extensive beta-testing, such as the way my first officer "interacted" with the speeding train. Still, the Universe series is one of the few successful series that retains its homey origins. It doesn't sport the best graphics you will see this year, but they're not the worst, either. It moves a bit slowly at times, and there are a few holes in the plot (like what could possibly. make a law abiding captain kill four innocent guards), but these factors don't keep Universe III from being a solid contender in the medium-level RPG market.

Weird Dreams

That's what someone at MicroProse must have had the night before writing the press release, since we've been unable to figure out what kind of game Weird Dreams is supposed to be. In fact, the press release makes a big deal out of their inability to do so. It sounds like it could be an adventure, but then again, it also sounds like an arcade game-what is this anyway, a Charades press release?

It poses no tough logic spite it's simplistic shoot-'empuzzles to solve, no damsels to rescue up style is the wide variety of from distress and no noble causes for monsters, potions and magical which to fight.

change, though. For one thing, there are several ways to get to your objective. Besides the usual blind alleys, there are multiple entrances into the same room. Also, since all the mazes are made up of several smaller networks, it is possible for a person with a good memory to do reasonably well without mapping. Even so, compUlsive mappers will find the mazes sufficiently complex. The bottom line is that maps would have helped me a lot, but since I hate making them, I manageg to get by with memory and perseverance.

In Control

When you first run the game, control defaults to the keyboard. On the IBM, the 2, 4, 6 and 8 keys control your direction; the arrow keys on my Tandy keyboard were not functional. If you'd rather use a joystick, simply press control-I and a calibration window appears. Incidentally, this game uses the best method I have ever seen. You can actually see the joystick being calibrated right on the screen. The button summons a menu of options that govern checking your inventory, equipping yourself with weapons and armor, and checking your status. (The S and I keys perform the same function.) Several other keyboard controls facilitate saving and loading a game, selecting music, sound effects or no sound at all, and pausing or quitting. Aside from armor, weapons and books in your possession, the inventory list shows any magic items or mundane tools you have collected. There are five different magical rings, several types of key, and even a magic seed that allows you to talk to certain plants. Some of these items can be purchased at the local pawn shop, like the wing that teleports you home, or the mirror that will put the "freeze" on monsters, but most have to be found in the dungeons.

The Monster Mash

Outside the confines of the civilized areas you will find monsters and various bad guys. Your strategy with these will be somewhat different, since you have a decided advantage when attacking them from behind or the side (be careful, they spin around on a dime!). At first you will encounter only the weakest monsters, like mutant dwarves, Kaenine's (how many guessed this was a dog?) and Forrestwalkers. Initially it will take several hits to dispatch these creatures. But as you build up experience points from previous kills, a single short thrust of the sword will do it Experience also increases your defensive ability. Starting out with your chain mail and small shield, you have to be very careful not to go toe-to-toe with the bad guys. After you have reached level two or three, you can walk head on into the lesser ones without suffering damage. The overland areas are really more of a training ground to prepare you for your real challenges: clearing out the temple, mine and eventually the Dark Tower in your attempt to recover the lost books. After you reach level three or four and have the medium-range sword and armor you should explore the temple in Vatare Canyon. This area is home to creatures stronger than you're used to dealing with, so you will have to turn cautious once again.

That would have been a natural for a game like this, with such deep roots in the local arcade. Even without the enhanced sound, I was surprised at how good a job was done with the stock beeper. It was not unpleasant at all, but after several hours of playing, I predict that most people will be turning it off. Graphics, while not "breathtaking," are certainly quite good. Sixteen colors are available in VGA, EGA and TGA modes, while only four show up in CGA. For folks who want high resolution at the cost of color, Hercules is supported. The backgrounds were the bestlooking scenes, especially the trees. People were much too small to be clearly discernable. But when you enter a shop, a small option window appears with a picture of the merchant. These pictures are quite cartoony. By contrast, their counterparts on the Sega version of the game are very realistic.

Apples and Oranges?

How do the two games compare? Well, the Sega game definitely sports better graphics and sound, but the IBM version has the advantage of size. The overland area and parts of the temple maze that I explored were at least two or three times larger on the IBM version. I guess that's the advantage of 640K. Apart from those few things, they were very nearly identical. Oh, there are some superficial differences. The bad guy in the Sega game is Dark Dekt instead of Malificus, the Seer becomes a Fortune Teller in the IBM version, and Arick changed his name to Aron. All in all it's an excellent translation in both directions, taking advantage of the best features of both machines.
Keys to the Hard Disk Kingdom
A hard disk can be used, but "key disk" copy protection requires you install the master disk in one of your drives when you first run the game. After this, it should be removed to prevent catastrophic accidents. Conclusions: If you are a fan of the bonding of computer RPG and videogames, this one is right up your alley. Graphics and sound are very good, if not exceptional, and the action gets fast and furious in spots. Add to this the character build-up and object-gathering activities of an average RPG and the game's unique mazes, and we've got a winner.

Lights, Camera, Action!

A blurb on the box describes the graphics as "breathtaking" and the musical score as "award winning." While a bit of poetic license was taken here, this isn't too far off the mark. Sound comes from the standard onevoice IBM stock speaker. You can opt for a constantly playing theme song that changes as you switch areas, or you can choose sound effects and hear battle sounds instead. A third option turn offs all sound. It really is a shame no support was provided for any of the third-party sound enhancer boards like Ad-Lib or CMS.

fter simulations surpassed role-playing for the first time, the Software Publishers Association swiftly laid the blame on Saddam Hussein, saying "The Persian Gulf crisis dramatically affected software game sales." Flight simulators and war games hit an all-time high in the last half of the year, racking up 35.6% of all sales. Questoriented games accounted for 26.2%, falling to number two in 1990. A whopping 73% of all game sales were for MSDOS, while Amiga was second with 10%, and C64 ran third with 8%. Some companies are still supporting Amiga and C64 (especially SSI), but the shift to USA companies developing games solely for MSDOS is accelerating.

Malone on the move again

After several months at New World Computing, Greg Malone is departing to become publisher at Softdisk. Malone, known as "the gigabyte guru" in the industry, was editor of the disk-based magazine before joining Origin. Softdisk, celebrating its 10th anniversary soon, provides programs, previews, reviews and other computer-specific material for MSDOS, Apple, C64 and Macintosh users.

Tunnell-vision

Jeff Tunnell, who heads up Dynamix, employed a whole new development scheme for Heart of China, which was first planned as a quick follow-up using the Rise of the Dragongame system. As seen above, the events were first plotted on storyboards, like with a movie. Then 85 live actors brought the story to life in front of 35mm photographers. After the photoshoots were done, the pictures were digitized and combined with more than 200 hand-painted illustrations. It's a visionary mix of technologies that foreshadows the arrival of multi-media entertainment and clearly gives Dynamix a
big head start. (Tunnell's name, incidentally, does not ryhme with funnel.)

Game developers, among them Sierra and Broderbund, are beginning to support Disney's $39.95 sound and music peripheral. Disney reports that even application software developers will be using the box, which plugs into the parallel port instead of requiring you to open your computer yet again. The Sound Source is the lowest-priced device to include its own amp, speaker, and a DAC for voice synthesis.

Rumor of the month: Interplay's next RPG Star Trek: The Pepsi Generation will incorporate digitized videos and songs of Michael Jackson, featuring a dramatic animated arcade sequence in which he gets blasted in the head with a photon torpedo and you have 10 seconds to put out the fire. Upping the ante One alert reader asked for a clarification of last month's mention about memory requirements for Ultima VII. If you were paying attention, I said it would require 2K of RAM, when I should have said two megabytes of RAM. (Fortunately Duffy returned from vacation long enough to point out the difference K, MB and DMBK to me.) You'll also need a VGA monitor and a hard disk with at least ten megabytes of space to play Ultima VII and Strike Commander. Origin figures RAM and hard disks are cheap enough that these are reasonable requirements. Origin, more than any other developer, is intentionally targeting the garner whose machine is outfitted with stateof-the-art technology. So rip that box open yet again and pop in a few more of those "cards" and "chips" (as Duffy assures me they are called), if you hope to visit Britannia's next incarnation. Sierra plans to stick with 640K requirements until the 386 becomes the norm (at least a year). They'll continue to offer VGA and EGA versions of their adventures, but all will now require a hard disk. Sierra plans to have their games running under Windows 3.0. Producer Stuart Moulder (who did the new Leisure Suit I) says CD drives are changing so rapidly they can't recommend a specific model. (Hopefully the market will stabilize by Christmas, with a $300-$400 model that's fast and reliable.) While other companies aren't upping the ante on hardware requirements for their games nearly as severely as Origin, you can be sure many will be by year's end. So if you're planning on getting a new MSDOS machine, definitely get at least a 386SX (rarely more than $200 over the cost of a 286), since you'll need it for most of the memory management tools. Settle for no less than two megs of RAM, four if running Windows. Also get a 65100K hard disk, VGA or Super VGA, and a Sound Blaster.

D & D: Dungeons & DOS I rarely upgrade anything. For instance, I just upgraded to system 6.0.5 on the Mac (reasoning that if Apple has released 7.0, they must have finally got all the bugs out of 6.05). So I almost didn't bother with 5.0 until Bernie Yee, one of the Microsoft beta testers, told me how well it frees up RAM. For the first time I was able to simultaneously use the mouse and hear the music in an Origin game without jumping through the usual hoops of rewriting my config and auto files to free up enough RAM (the files that worked with Savage Empire
Letters/f to the IT Editor
Dear QuestBusters: I really enjoy the magazine, but thought that it was a waste of space to devote three-and-a-half issues to a solution for Dark Heart ofUukrul. Pete Dotto Easy to say if you're not stuck in the game and unable to get a clue book because the publisher didn't do one. The reason we devoted so much space to it was that we got more requests for this solution than for any single game last year. Perhaps it was a bit much, though. In the future, we'll put make such lengthy solutions available as stand-alone clue books rather than publish them in the journal. Dear QuestBusters: I have a Roland MT-32 and wondered if can fax me a list of games other than Sierra's that support it. Tim Brake Origin, Accolade, EA, Interplay, and in fact most major game developers except SSI are supporting the Roland.
Interplay's Castles didn't work with Martian Dreams). DOS 5.0 is practically required for Origin games, unless you have a memory manager such as QEMM, and you'll may soon see 5.0 listed as a requirement on a lot of software. Cartridge World: Origin is still licensing some games to FCI for conversion to Nintendo. Ultima VI, Martian Dreams and Savage Empire will be out next year for the new 16bit Nintendo, the SuperNES. Ultima V will be available on the old 8-bit machine later this year, and FCI plans to market an Origin GameBoy game, Runes of Virtue. New World's Might & Magic: Gate to Another World and King's Bounty: The Conquerer's Quest were released in July for the Sega Genesis. EA's Centurion was also released for Sega. Of castles and kings: Interplay's castle-building simulation arrived recently, but M & M III and Magic Candle III, the most eagerly awaited summertime releases, were behind schedule (perhaps by mid-August)).

Quote of the Month

"Logic gives man what he needs. Magic gives him what he wants." Tom Robbins, Another Roadside Attraction

Best Quest of the Month

aking off in Hong Kong and soaring across Asia, Heart of China features characters who initially look all too familiar. At first glance I was tempted to sum it up as "Indiana Jones meets Bruce Lee in the 1930s." An independent pilot, "Lucky" Jake Masters, teams up with a Ninja named Chi to rescue a nurse from a bandit king in the mountains of China. A time limit of sorts is imposed, for the $200,000 reward for Kate's return is reduced $20,000 with the passing of each day. Lucky is an Indiana Jones-type character, with familiar background music and a picture of his plane superimposed on a map of Asia when he travels. However, George Lucas didn't originate such characters or gimmicks, which have been a mainstay of adventure films and novels for decades. And Lucky, if you role-play him correctly, proves himself a man of more depth than the shallow, one-dimensional Indy.

New Features

Martian Dreams: the Avatar spaces out
This is the second title in Origin's series that utilizes an even further enhanced version of the Ultima VI game system. The premise that space flight was invented in the 19th Century is reminiscent of Space 1889, but what Origin has done with the idea is light years ahead of Paragon's game. In Martian Dreams Percival Lowell's crew blasts off for Mars and is never heard from again, so you, the Avatar, are summoned to accompany a rescue mission to the Red Planet. Before it's over, you'll rescue more than the missing Earthlings. Some elements of Savage Empire, Dr. Spector, such as the recurring character Dr. Spector, berries with assorted effects, and the Ultima VI interface, lend a sense of serialistic deja vu. In many ways the story is more linear, with characters steering you in the right direction rather than leaving you to wander aimlessly. (Origin changed the series' name from "Worlds of Ultima" to "Ultima Worlds of Adventure" so it would be placed in the "U" section of the racks and hopefully be found by Ultima fans browsing the shelves.) Following a cinematic introduction, the quest itself quickly turns into a "talk to the people, find the stuff and use it" Ultima-style role-playing game. Occasional events, however, are illustrated with pictures that fill the window usually occupied by the aerial view; it's at least a token effort at weaving cinematic techniques into the presentation. On your ship and in the ruins of Martian cities, you'll find some newfangled toys and tools as well as your trusty old sextant. A spyglass is the most convenient new item. With the telescope you can peer into the distance to scout unexplored territory and see those mysterious canals, a variety of imaginative flora and fauna, and the ancient cities of the Martians. (It's also good for getting rid of nearby monsters: aim the scope in their direction, and they'll be gone when the field of view returns to your location.) Wyatt Earp and Annie Oakley, Dr. Tesla and Sigmund Freud, Mark Twain and H. G. Wells the cast is more colorful and varied than that of Savage, drawing upon dozens of historical personalities. Going native Your soon learn that members of the first mission quarreled amongst themselves and separated into distant camps. Some sought ways to repair their ship and return to Earth, while others "went native" and drifted off to a Martian dream world. From this original twist the designers have wrung dozens of we presume? novel situations and dialogue. The Martian's old Dream Machine, once repaired, is the key to success as well as the source of the game's name. It transports you to the dream world where you'll find more than Martians and missing Earthlings some of the Shadowlords from Ultima VI make a reprise in the end game. Giving Freud the slip Your character's stats are determined in a brief interview with Dr. Freud. Depending on your answer to his first question, your character may be male or female. You are still limited to a single saved game and forced to reinstall the game in order to create a new character. At least the reinstallation process is over in less than a minute. But before you initially install the program and use the option that unpacks all the files to accelerate disk access during the game, I strongly suggest renting a lengthy video to pass the time (The Two Jakes is perfect, since by the time you wake up from the coma it puts you in, the installation will be completed). Visually the changes are in the subject matter, not their execution: a red desert landscape instead of green jungle canopy, different creatures and beings, and a fresh arsenal of weapons. The interface's icons were replaced with toggle-type switches but they control the same actions: use, talk, etc. Remember, this is science fiction, so there's no magic. Unless you count the berries, which endow you with certain capabilities in their own mysterious way. Combat, inventory and character interaction haven't changed and are as easily managed as ever.

A new look for Larry Laffer
due out in August, and an upgrade is available. New Sierra quests Besides Leisure Suit Larry V, two more all-new quests set for the fall are Conquest of the Longbow and Police Quest III (September). Naturally these are for MSDOS machines. Sierra is also moving into the educational market, planning to do at least four titles a year. (The wild rumor that the first will be a sex education game starring Larry Laffer turned out to be false.) Amiga, Mac & CD conversions Amiga gamers are still in vogue at Sierra, with Rise of the Dragon set for August. Also scheduled for August releases are the Mac versions of Space Quest IV and King's Quest V. On the cartridge front, King's Quest V has been on the Nintendo for some time, and others may follow. Five CD titles will be released this fall and winter: Space Quest IV, King's QuestS, Leisure Suit Larry I, Stellar 7 and Jones in the Fast Lane. On-line with Sierra Online The Sierra Network, a games-oriented telecommunications system for IBM only, will soon be running multiplayer versions of Red Baron and Stellar 7. Right now it's just card games (with other players) and text messages.

The CD Dungeon: Ys Book I and II
Remember The Ancient Land ofYs, an IBM game from a few years ago? It was the basis for NEC's new TurboGrafx game, Ys Book I & II. This two-part, one-player RPG is a perfect example of the kind of games you'll see on CD-based systems. Ys is the first of many CD-based adventure games on the way from NEC. On a computer, the same game might take 20 to 30 disks. If you have the TurboGrafx-16, Ys is a good reason to buy the CD Player, not only will it play CD games, but it also plays also regular CD and CD+G (graphics) formats. And if you don't already have one, you can get the system, the CD Player and Ys for $399. Two more adventures on CD, Sherlock Holmes and Murder Club should be available by the time you read this, so Ys won't be the only quest available. Ys will keep you busy for many hours and is surely a bargain. Book I and Book II are played separately, so you're really getting two games on the CD. The ultimate goal is to return the land of Ys to prosperity and freedom from the clutches of the evil Darm, who has tricked the populace into helping him by taking the form of the highly valued Black Pearl. In Book I you take the role of Adol, who must collect six ancient books and return them to the statues of six priests in the temple. After taking all six books to the temple, you start Book II. The goal here is to destroy the Black Pearl, thus ending Darin's hold on the land. The plot is nothing new, but its presentation is special. Because it's a CD game, the graphics, sounds and music are incredible. Obviously designed in Japan, the full-screen figures and animation look like cartoons a la Speed Racer. The main view of the game resembles Nintendo's Legend of Zelda, a three-quarters perspective overhead view. You access the command menu with the Select button. The commands consist of saving and loading games, changing Adol's speed, showing Adol's status, examining inventory and readying equipment or weapons. That's it! You just move Adol around the screen, exploring locations and talking to people to give you clues.From this perspective there is nothing difficult about playing Ys. After you accumulate a lot of weapons and items, you have to use your head to get through certain battles and situations. Combat is simple. Just bump up against your opponent, or use your weapon. Like Ultima VI, Ys is played on the same scale throughout. The screens scroll within a section of the landscape, and the monitor blacks out between sections. Because there are so many characters in the game, I suggest writing down what they have to say for later reference. Their clues help you discover certain locations, objects and people. Mapping is not necessary, except in certain caves and other indoor locations. A map of the land of Ys comes with the game and shows the major locations. The best part of Ys are the graphics and music. Even though the incredibly detailed full-screen graphics and animation are cartoonish, Ys is nice to watch. The five-minute introduction is intense. Music plays constantly, yet never gets boring because it changes frequently to reflect your situation and location. The sound effects are distinct and further enhance Ys. Conclusions: Lump all this together and you have a game that is unique (not for long) a precursor of CD games in general and TurboGrafx CD games in particular. Ys is strongly recommended for those looking to spend money for a new system so they can jump into the CD market. (Now all I want to know is what Ys means in Japanese!)

The Prognosticator

Aren't vacations wondrous things? You always end up feeling relieved to finally get home. At least I usually do. For the few of you who noticed The Prognosticator's absence, I assure you, it was worth it Seeing into the future is a hardy task even for those of us who claim to be professionals, and this break provided me with a new perspective. So this month I'll be peering more than a few mere months into the future of adventures.
The big talk today is CD-ROM, CD-I and CD-TV. Everything is heading for CDs, at least that's what we are led to believe. Some games are already being converted and designed for CDs. [But even Sierra won't recommend a specific CD drive now because there is still no clear-cut standard; maybe there will be by Christmas, when prices could fall below $400!.] While there still isn't enough hardware or software to convince me that CD-ROM is going to catch on, I'm confident it will. Actually, I hope it does, because it's necessary for the next big jump. After all the shows and discussions with the rest of the industry, it seems like Virtual Reality is just around the corner.
in front of a video pen and take part in a cartridge-based game. Onlookers watched as participants stepped into a booth and then actually showed up in a game. If you ran in place, you ran forward in the game and evaded virtual creatures that chased you on the screen. When you swung your fist, you swung at enemies on the screen. It was simply incredible to watch. What surprised me was how many people looked at the monitors and said "Hmmm, that's neat," and then walked away without ever giving it another thought. I can only explain this in one of three ways: A) They were from the future and were surprised at how regressed we are, B) As a gamer I'm much more fanatical than the average buyer, or C) I've completely lost touch with actual reality in favor of the virtual type. Whatever the answer, it can't get here fast enough for me. VGA with built-in sound board Just wanted to be the first one to tell you that ATI is coming out with a new product. In addition to the builtin mouse port that comes on their popular VGA Wonder cards, soon you will also be able to get one with a built-in sound board. It's too early to be specific, but it's supposed to be completely Sound Blaster compatible. ATI is also planning on selling the sound card portion separately. With all the other cards coming out, expect a vicious price war before Christmas (good timing huh?). At last count, you should have at least fifteen cards from which to choose.

Walkthrough: Secret of Monkey Island
The Scumm Bar When the cook leaves the kitchen, enter the kitchen. Get the meat and the pot. Go east to the dock and get the fish by going to the end of the dock and hitting the enter key to flip the bird in the air. Race over and get the fish before the bird flies back. Getting some Money Go east at Lookout Point and on to the clearing east of the fork. Go toward the light to the circus. Talk to the brothers, and agree to be shot from a cannon. Show them the p4t. Back in Town Buy a shovel and sword at the store, a treasure map from the Citizen at the intersection. Get a chicken from the Voodoo Shop. Go to the Men of Low Moral Fiber and say you like rats. Talk about the circus. Agree to take PTA minutes for two pieces of eight. The First Trial Go to the house on the southeastern part of the island. Give fish to troll. Train for swordfighting. After you train, go to the intersection west of the fork and wait. Pirates walking from one place to another will fight you. Make a list of insults and comebacks. Each insult has a corresponding comeback, which are effective only when used with the correct insult. When you have a complete list of 20 insults and 20 comebacks, go to the store and tell the storekeeper you want to see the Sword Master; follow him when he leaves. The storekeeper is going to the forest to the north of the fork via Lookout Point. The intermediate comebacks work with the Sword Master's insults. You have never heard the insults before, but they are similar to the intermediate insults. Try to match them up. Once you beat the Sword Master return to the three captains and show them the "prize" she gave you. The Second Trial Go to the fork in the road and enter the forest. Pick up a pltll from the 62114w f!4w279. Use the p2tll 4n th2 m21t. Go to the Governor's mansion. Give the 875gg28 m21t to the dogs. Enter. Inside, immediately go through the right door.

Give gopher repellent to Otis. Get cake. Open the cake, and you will find a file. The Mansion If the dogs wake up, get the meat from the Scumm bar kitchen and the petal from the yellow flowers. Go through the hole in the wall. When Fester tosses you in the ocean by the pier, pick up the idol and sword, walk to the ladder, climb out. The Third Trial At the Scumm Bar show the idol to the pirates. Look at the map you bought. The dance steps are directions through the forest, from the fork to the treasure. The directions back, right and left refer to directions that Guy must go off the screen to follow the map. Back means go back off the screen by a path in the back part of the screen. Right and left means exit the screen by the right or left hand path. As Guy enters the forest, he goes by the back path. On the next screen, take the left path. On the next screen, guy takes the right path. Then go left, right, back, right, left, back and right to see the "X". Dig at the "X" and read the signs, plaques and monuments. Return to see the captains, who will have vanished. To Monkey Island Go to Stan's Used Ships. Talk to Stan about credit. You want the big blue ship at the end of the dock. The Shopkeeper's Safe Go to the shopkeeper's shop and ask for credit. Leave, return and say you have a good job. When he opens the safe, watch closely and write down the combination by counting the clicks and noting the direction clockwise and counter-clockwise direction the safe lever is being turnedTell the shopkeeper you want him to see the Sword Master. When he leaves, open the safe and take the letter of credit. The Combination Revealed The combination is four left, four right, three left, one right, and open. If unsuccessful, reset the safe handle and try again. Bargaining with Sam Take the letter of credit to Sam's. Do make an offer until you ask him about extras, and tell him they are junk and you don't want them. Threaten to leave, but come back. If you leave and come back immediately, the bargaining generously starts up at the price you were at when you left. Make a low offer of 1,000 to 2,000 and raise it slowly. Keep softening Sam up while bargaining. You can get the blue ship for about $4200. Guy's Crew Recruit the Sword Master by telling her that the Governor was kidnapped. Free Otis by getting all five clay mugs in the Scumm Bar. Then go into the kitchen and use one mug on the keg of grog with the spout and the skull and crossbones on it. The mug will melt, and you must use the m21t3ng m5g 4n 1 g448 m5g before it turns to a shapeless mass. Otis and Meathook When you get to the jail, use the g74g on the lock and free Otis. Otis will flee, joining you later. Meathook lives on the island on the far northeast corner of the island. Take a chicken with a pulley, from the shop just to the left of the Citizen. Climb the ladder to the platform at the shore and use the chicken on the cable to get to the island. Tell Meathook about the kidnapping of the governor.
