Chess, eh? It's difficult to imagine what kind of person would play chess on a Mega Drive - presumably, even if you've already got one and you really want to play chess and you haven't got anyone to play against, it's still going to be cheaper to go and buy a dedicated chess computer, but, er, if you're allergic to dedicated chess computers or something, you'll be pleased to hear about Kasparov's Gambit, the Mega Drive's first chess game, which is coming soon from Acclaim. |
Quote: | VIRTUAL ACTUALITY
US gamers unhappy with their current reality were doubtless ecstatic this month when Sega announced the first four games which will be released later this year for their new Sega VR peripheral. Bundled with the hardware will be Nuclear Rush, a flight simulation set in atomic wastelands with the player as a 'nuclear pirate' in charge of a big 'weapons-loaded hovercraft', but users will also be able to mess up their hair and look stupid in front of their friends with Iron Hammer (which, frankly, sounds a bit similar with it's 'heavily-armed skimmer gunship'-type malarkey), Matrix Runner ('a dazzling, hypnotic materialisation of cyberspace, where players collide with strange semi-humans and vulture-like manifestations', ie it's probably a bit like Sewer Shark with more black in it), and Outlaw Racing, which is, er, a racing game. As for when we're likely to see these games, or indeed the Sega VR itself, in this country, your guess is as good as ours. |

Then you'll probably be pleased to hear that there's another Disney game on the way, this time featuring the bizarre what-kind-of-animal-is-he-anyway gormless lump of semi-sentience Goofy. It's a bit of a very slightly Bionic Commando-ish platformer by the sounds of things and it'll be out in late autumn for around £50 on import. |
I want that Goofy one. |
