If you're looking for something totally different, then look no further than this excellent package from Domark, which basically features everything you'd want from a game and draws upon that most creative of imaginations, your own brain!

Using the Freescape 2 techniques featured in that epic Catle Master, here's your chance to devise your very own masterpiece, enabling you to plan whole new environments, people it with weird and wonderful creations, and even add sound effects to boot.

The most outstanding point of the kit is the ease with which you can create your masterpieces. By choosing set pieces from the massive library, you can stretch, squeeze and squash each separate piece to suit your own 3-D ideas, getting things just right to add to.

Now, there are those of you out there who, like myself, tend to be a little lazy at times. For us, those nice people at Domark have included a specially written arcade style adventure to play with. This should keep you busy for some time, whilst at the same time showing you exactly whatyou yourself can create using the kit, by way of encouragement.

To be fair, with the vast assortment of goodies included in the memory banks, it won't take much encouragement to get you going, and then, well, the sky's the limit really.

For budding games creators, the 3D Construction Kit is brimming with ideas, and ready-made environments to make your creations a little easier, but the kit also has many other possible uses.

Using the superb 3D graphics, you can also have a go at modelling and creating diagrams or architectural models. For educational purposes, you can be a real teacher's pet the next time she asks you to carry out an urban study, by creating a three dimensional model of the town in question, carefully coloured and marked. Oooh, I can see some of you squirming with delight already.

Seriously though, the kit is ideal for educational purposes, even though many of you could think of a thousand better uses for it than anything to do with school.

What about that idea for an outer space alien shoot-'em-up you had? Or that medieval adventure game? Or that camel-riding simulator? You what? Well, like I said, once you get going, only the limits of your own imagination are going to stop you.

Using the extensive internal library of sound effects, you should find a noise to suit your every need. After all, what's a good game without the bangs, blasts and zaps?

For a total package of allround fun and entertainment, the 3D Construction Kit is an absolute must for the price. You never know, once you've got it, you may never look at your CPC in the same light again.
