Quattro Fighters

Another gruesome foursome from the Codies' stable hits the streets.

Here we go with yet another classic four-in-one blast from those masters of the budget market, CodeMasters. This time the theme is combat so, if you are a little on the squeamish side, stay well clear of this bash.

First up is the epic SAS Combat offering, which sees you bombarding through four different battle areas, taking out the evil enemy leaders as you go.

Well, not just the leaders, but their whole armies as well.

This is definitely not for the faint-hearted, as you race against enemy troops, mercenaries, commandos, paratroopers and a whole host of obstacles to reach your goal.

Armed with just your machine gun and a limited supply of grenades, be sure to pick up fresh supplies as you go in this rough, tough action blast.

Next up is MiG 29, which sees you taking on bombers, ships, tanks and just about everything else in a race to be lord of the skies. Featuring realistic take off and landing sequences, this is one highspeed thrill you won't want to miss out on, especially as your finger is on the nuclear trigger. Hot stuff!

For those of you who like that little something different, how about taking up a Turbo Chopper for a spin.?

Piloting the latest in Vietnam war weaponry, use your heat-seeking missiles and guided bombs well, to take out anything that looks remotely hostile.

This is real pulse-racing stuff from the very start and, seeing as there are over 25 mega-battles to take part in, there is certainly no chance of getting bored. This one will keep you on your toes at all times and, on top of that, it's great fun too.

Last, but by no means least, is the excellent Guardian Angel blast, in which you, as the hero, must take to the streets and clear them of villainous scum.

Set in downtown Manhattan, the thugs are out to stop your little game, so be on the lookout at all times. Just to make things even nastier, some of these thugs are armed with flickknives, baseball bats, iron bars and even chain saws.

Think you're quick enough to take them all on? You'd better be, as you are the only hope of the honest, god-fearing citizens, so go out and do your worst.

So, what do we have here? Yet another blistering compilation of Codies' favourites for your delectation.

Each of the games is brilliantly crafted, and each offers its own particular brand of blasting and beating. In other words, if you like a bit of mindless violence on your small screen from time to time, then you'd be silly to miss out on this one.
