Space Rogue

Another title which was reviewed last month on a different format (we looked at the PC version), Space Rogue is a game which smacks of Elite, with a blend of 3D graphics, in-space dogfighting and a galactic trading system. The big difference between the two though is that, unlike Elite, there's an overall goal to Space Rogue - that of finding the murderers who blew your father to smithereens.

There isn't a lot else to say about this version that hasn't already been written in last month's review. Amiga Space Rogue is challenging, full of action and, although it runs at a slightly slower frame rate than the PC game, it's still fast enough to retain all the addictive qualities which its PC cousin holds. A superlative game.

A true contender for Elite's crown, Space Rogue is a tough, demanding 3D space opera which will keep fans engrossed for months.
