This
is the only ZZAP!64 review of an 8-bit Atari
game -- under US Gold assurances that the C64 version
was identical! Some rival magazines mentioned the fact
accompanied with... unfavourable comments, so this practice
was never repeated in ZZAP! (something that cannot be
said for those same rival magazines!).
Needless
to say, the screenshots accompanying this htmlized review
are instead taken from the C64 version.

Did
you know that Beam Software's Crack of Doom,
the 4th Tolkin Adventure game, was converted to the
C64? What? You don't believe it? Well, seeing is believing!

Our
new ZZAP! review deals with the paranormal. As
"Shades" (the phenomenon of people vanishing
from one location and then reappearing elsewhere) has
happened to James twice (one time in his toilet,
the second time in a bank waiting-line), we certainly
know what we are talking about! :)

And
Puffin Books' The Forest of Doom (the game, not
the book :) is the new addition. This version won't
enter in an endless loading loop when trying to load
the 2nd game section.

Seems
like a C64 version of this was available for a limited
period. All relevant info has now been added to our
relevant section...
But
the greatest news is that we are touching Realms
of Darkness -- and we have a dozen screenshots to
prove it! Seems like it won't remain Forever
Lost after all!

A
new ZZAP!64 review on display. You know, these
reviews are required reading for any self-respecting
C64 fan -- Don't tell us you can't find the time to
read one tiny review in a whole week! :)
Also
re-edited a few past reviews that needed to become more
Netscape-friendly (especially the one for Elite).

And
our newest addition is the English version of PSS' fantasy
strategy game Sorcerer Lord.
Also,
SSI's Demon's Winter download has been updated
with a password-removed version thanks to the coding
skills of
Stephan Andres!
