Cockroach's Choicest Bits - Vol. 7 - Zenobi Software

The next three volumes, 7-9, of the CCB series are now out. As
with the previous discs, their contents vary from patches and
trainers to cheats and new levels, all of which are designed, say
Zenobi, to enhance the original games and to allow you to get
'many more hours of gaming enjoyment' from them. Vols. 8 and 9
concentrate on Half-Life and Unreal Tournament, but Volume 7 has a
mixed content. In it there are five basic folders, two cover Quake
3, and one is labelled CM3 ... I have no idea what the program does
that's in that, or even what game it covers. The other two folders
contain patches and trainers. Ten games are covered in the
trainers and 88 in the patches, such as Age of Wonders, Tiberian
Sun, Dungeon Keeper 2 and Seven Kingdoms II. In some cases, more
than one patch is given for a game (eg Settlers 3 and Warzone
2100.)

My only quibble with the CD, as with some others from Zenobi, is a
lack of a menu system, proper identification or explanation for
some items, especially the trainers in this case. I would be wary
of running them blind. The patches, however, are clearly labelled
and come with a short Readme which tells you what changes have
been made. That minor reservation aside, this is a good collection
of enhancements and would be especially useful for anyone who
doesn't have Internet access and can't download their own.

The CDs cost œ2.99 each including P&P from Zenobi Software, 26
