• Gex - Durch Gex-spezielle Fähigkeiten, insbesondere die Wand- und Deckenkraxelei, ergeben sich völlig neue Perspektiven, allerdings muß man sich erst daran gewöhnen. Die Ladezeiten halten sich in Grenzen und mit knapp fünfzig Levels plus Speicheroption bietet Gex viel Spiel fürs Geld. Her damit!
• Flashback - CD-Sound trägtein übriges zur fesselnden Atmosphäre bei. Alle, die bereits eine der 16-Bit-Versionen gespielt haben, brauchen die 3DO-Variante ganz sicher nicht mehr. Wer das Spiel nicht kennt und den “REALCD”-Player sein eigen nennt, darf unbek
• Rise of the Robots - Rise of the Robots ist mit Abstand das mieseste Beat’em Up, das je auf einer Konsole erschienen ist (sieht man mal von Pitfighter und Death Brade ab) und die CD nicht wert, auf die es gepreßt wurde. Ihr könnt ja damit Frisbee spielen!
