Personal computer games that once
marveled the masses are now just nos
talgia items compared to the power
available today. Sound boards with dig-
ital processing, quadruple speed CD
ROM drives and high speed graphics
accelerator boards allow today's PCs to
surround the senses with stimulation
and challenge.
World Circuit from Microprose lets
the Formula One driver in you gun it
against the top 25 drivers from the real
circuit with tracks and races represent-
ed from a variety of angles. Customize
your car down to the gear ratio for the
different tracks and variable weather
conditions. World Circuit has great
sound (it's nice to hear a finely-tuned
mator winding out) and clean 256 Color
VGA 3-D graphics to provide the racer
with the closest simulation of Grand
Prix Racing ever found an diskette. Add
a Virtual Pilot yoke from CH Products
and you'll steer into racing history.
The 7th Guest from Virgin Games

The 7th
Guest
step in mystery adventures by mixing
state-of-the-art graphics with digitized
real-time video segments to bring you
into another interactive astral plane.
You are the seventh guest at a party
hosted by an estranged toy maker, but
the funny thing is you're the only one
alive. You explore the mansion with the
aid of a rather bony companion, uncov
ering psycho-kinetic hot spots that con-
tain ghostly dramas and throbbing
brains. Boot it up the next night it starts
raining and experience a new dimen-
sion in home entertainment.
If action is what you crave then check
out Metal & Lace: The Battle Of The
Robo Babes, from Megatech. This
arcade-style fighting game puts you toe
to toe against a dojo of beautiful oppo-
nents sexy enough to make you forget
you're there to kick some butt. What a
concept: Sex and violence. I think it
could work.
Take your gaming to the air on Nova
Logic's Comanche-Maximum Overkill.
One of the best flight simulators ever,
this game takes you on a flying tour of
the Comanche's fighting agility and
high-tech weapons arsenal. If all else
fails, call in the artillery boys to clean up

Chess anyone? Interplay comes
through with their latest release of
Battle Chess, Battle Chess 4000. Set in
a futuristic deep-space station, animat
ed alien space creatures do your bid-
ding across either a translucent 2-D or
3-D chess board. Watch as these digi-
tized day models battle it out in humor
ous scenes performed for your amuse-
ment. Complemented by a library of
over 300,000 moves, and the ability to
learn and add moves to its repertoire,
this game can accommodate any level
of opponent. The only drawback is its
need for expanded memory. Available
on diskette or CD, this is every hack-
er's chess game.
