  • Strahl - Finally, the playability. In a word: Aaaargh! Strahl obviously falls short here. After two days playing time, Strahi canbeaten blindfolded (trust I've done it!) Having onscreen commands is a blessing and curse all in one.
  • Ballz - The gameplay is outstanding. Complex, funny movies are simple to learn and execute, and the big, brightly-colored shapes insure it's always fairly easy to make out what's going on. The much-maligned 3DO controller in this case provides a

perfect interface

  • Panzer General - This is an amazing strategic simulator. Easy to use with lots of depth; you have up to 350 different types of units at your command. Panzer General is a must for strategy fans.
  • Space Pirates - Space Pirates. Sounds exciting, doesn't it? Well, it's not. In fact, this laserdisc arcade conversion is pretty average. You play a Space Ranger whose job it is to eliminate a band of space pirates.
