                      Future Wars - Atari ST/STE/PC/AMIGA - œ14.99

I must admit Future Wars is one of the best adventure games I've
played in a long time. For one, the graphics are superb - one of
the scenes, a woodland, looks almost 100% realistic to me - this
game was made by experts. Make that - this game was made by the
French!!

One minute you are a simple window cleaner with an angry boss. The
next you're in the Middle Ages being beat up by rogue monks - just
one of those days, isn't it?!

Once again we see the great control from Delphine Software, the
puzzles are fairly hard, not too tough, a little easy sometimes
but that doesn't matter too much in this game considering that in
every other respect it seems faultless.

The only fault I can find, in fact, is that if you use a standard
TV you'll find at least one of the puzzles (one of the first)
impossible to solve. You must operate something on a single
pixel, and although you may be able to see this pixel on a VDU, no
way on a telly. However, once I got past that little problem
(yes, yes, the BMK uses a portable telly - so what?) I found the
game quite enjoyable.

LOWDOWN.
This is a great little adventure, however there are many others
about just as good and better, all I'll say is you probably won't
be disappointed if you decide to get it.
