Simulcra

It's out and out shoot-'em-up action in Simulcra, as the player-controlled SRV (Surface Reconnaissance Vehicle) battles to close down thirty battle matrices, blasting a huge variety of airborne and earthbound vehicles on the way.

There's pick-ups aplenty available from the blasted enemy fighters and structures. Radars, fire-and-forget missiles and extra armour can be collected to make the task of heavy-duty devastation a smidgen easier.

Simulcra on the Amiga is even better (!) than the superlative ST version reviewed last month. The shoot-'em-up genre may have been flogged to death, but Simulcra has the edge in his wonderful execution. Make sure you find the time to give this game the attention it deserves.

Amiga

Simulcra ranks as one of the finest 3D shoot-'em-ups available on the Amiga. Unbelievable graphics, superior sonics, and unrivalled playability. Look out for it!
