METAZINE #1

|
|
Welcome to the premier issue of METAZINE. Here, META members will
|
||
|
|
review warez, and related stuff. You are probably wondering what the hell
|
||
|
|
META is. META is a group of people that get warez from the internet. META
|
||
|
|
is NOT a group like RAZOR. META takes ALL the big groups warez, and
|
||
|
|
distribute them among the BBS community, to boards that are not ULTRA secret.
|
||
|
|
So, if you are on a better than average board, you can probably find our stuff.
|
||
|
|
You don't have to be on like, the CoCoNut Testing Grounds, to get our stuff.
|
||
|
|
We also make DOCs for games. I(Lord 13) just made Magic Carpet ANSI docs.
|
||
|
|
These docs are WAY better than the other MC docs. They are in ANSI, so you
|
||
|
|
can see what spell I am talking about. Very useful. Look for more docs in
|
||
|
|
the future(ansi and normal). BTW - don't expect docs for shitty warez! OK,
|
||
|
|
enjoy the first issue.

The Warez Review

|
Magic Carpet by BULLFROG, is the most awesome game I have played
|
||
|
|
since DOOM1! You are basically a wizard on a magic carpet, and you compete
|
||
|
|
with other wizards for these mana ball things. You get mana balls by killing
|
||
|
|
the plethora of beasts(there's ALOT of them). The beasts are just too cool!
|
||
|
|
All have there own sounds(like the monsters in Doom). AWESOME sounds, and
|
||
|
|
music. But the thing you will really be shocked at is the graphics. THE
|
||
|
|
BEST FLIGHT SIM GRAPHICS EVER! With such effects as fog, shadows, relections
|
||
|
|
(awesome), and many others. And, wait till you see the water. It moves!
|
||
|
|
It's very wavey. The game terrain looks like you were thrown into a
|
||
|
|
fractual generated world! And it moves SMOOTH(at least on my 486DX2-66).
|
||
|
|
Pentium users are in for a mind-blowing experience. And get this: the game
|
||
|
|
was taken from a CD!!! And it has EVERYTHING!!! 69 levels of non-stop
|
||
|
|
action. You must get this is you even just like action games. You won't
|
||
|
|
wanna miss this. Be sure to get the META-ANSi docs!
|

CyClones by SSi(programmed by Raven software), is a Doom-clone game.
|
||
|
|
It has some neat features. Like, you can run UNDER and OVER sectors. Can't
|
||
|
|
do that in Doom. The engine isn't as smooth as Doom, but it's still very
|
||
|
|
good. Use the mouse to aim your weapons. This is the cool part. You can
|
||
|
|
actually aim your weapon WHERE you want, for pinpoint accuracy. The game
|
||
|
|
sports AWESOME sounds, but only OK music. Get this is you want a new Doom-
|
||
|
|
like game, and Heretic and Triad aren't out...yet.

DEFENDER OF THE EMPIRE, TIE Fighter add-on missions, are finally out!
|
||
|
|
Mutany has struck the Empire! Defend the Empires factorys from take-over.
|
||
|
|
Look for a review soon...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
HERETIC, and RISE OF THE TRIAD have not been released yet. They are
|
||
|
|
a bit late. Rumor has it that the groups are waiting till Xmas to release
|
||
|
|
Heretic, but I don't think they would really wait. Although, we should see
|
||
|
|
both of these ANY day now.

In BULLFROG news...
|
||
|
|
Syndicate 2, the sequel that everyone is waiting for, will
|
||
|
|
use the MAGIC CARPET engine. You will be able to pick your own camera view!
|
||
|
|
You will also be able to go into buildings with your asasians. Very cool.

In LUCASARTS news...
|
||
|
|
Dark Forces, the game that uses a engine TOTALLY different
|
||
|
|
from Doom's(don't believe those lamers that say LA stoles id's baby). WILL
|
||
|
|
have modem play, but to be released in a patch soon after the game's release.
|
||
|
|
The game itself will feature sector on top of sector action, unlike Doom.
