Reviews

Game Title Publisher Reviewer Pages Pg No(s) Rating
Foes Of Ali Electronic Arts N/A 1 88 8
Kingdom The Far Reaches Interplay Productions N/A 1 92 6
Daedalus Encounter Panasonic N/A 1 93 8
  • Foes Of Ali - Boxing games have come and gone, some good, but most unmemorable. Electronic Arts has proved its prowess once again with the development of the undisputed world champion of boxing games.
  • Kingdom - Still, there are a few dozen hours of puzzles to solve, and very entertaining voice acting shame about the so-so animation. The verdict: Kingdom is one of the most playable FMV games for the 3DO, which isn't saying much, but hey.
  • Daedalus Encounter - The 3DO version also has a better save-game system and additional scenes that were removed from the PC. (This version spans four CDs, the PC version "only" three. ) The verdict: An excellent puzzle game with FMV that's fun to watch.
