Amiga

Navy Moves

Remember Dinamic? They are the Spanish software house who brought you Game Over, the left to right scroller with the subtle advertising? Well they are back with Navy Moves, and take it from me, it is more than a marked improvement on its forerunners.

Those naughty terrorists have gone and 'borrowed' the brand-new American U-5544 nuclear submarine intent on launching an attack on some oil-rich Arab countries.

Graphics are good, especially when he gets his hands on a flamethrower. Sound is also good, with a lively title tune and apt effects.

If you want a tough challenge that you'll either conquer or will force you to destroy your Amiga in frustration then go ahead, but you have been warned.

Put on your flippers and snorkel and make ready with the flamethrower and harpoon gun: because it is aquatic destruction time. The U5544 nuclear submarine must be destroyed and it appears you are just the person for the job: if you can get there. Like Dinamic’s ealier game, Army Moves, it is a two-parter, access to the second part being denied until you complete the first part and receive an access code.

Navy Moves is supplied in two parts. Each of these parts is loaded separately, so you can start anywhere, as long as you've got the relevant password.

If you've bought a Dinamic game before, you'll know what to expect - lots of frustration but plenty of action. The instructions are pretty good, even to the extent of giving you a few handy hints on baddie-bashing; it's just a pity that the graphics are below par and the difficulty level is at the point where the TV goes out of the window.

Navy Moves är inget undantag. Jag försökte verkligen hitta en anledning att köpa Navy Moves, men det gick inte.

This is possibly the world’s longest delayed game. Previewed shortly after Army Moves and before Game Over, it promised fabbo graphics and Dinamic gameplay – sometimes frustrating, but ultimately rewarding.
