Newcomer

Retro Gamer (95 out of 100) (95%)

Newcomer's look is hard to place, in places cyber punk, at times future real, occasionally barren but always atmospheric, some of the artwork on display here are among the best seen on the CBM 64. The interface and controls are simple and as such the player becomes an automaton, absorbed by the game. As the game progresses the usual RPG options become available allowing NPCs to join Neil's party, but the choice lies with the player, Neil can solo the game if he chooses. Truly epic in every way Newcomer should be experienced by anybody who has even a passing interest in gaming, old or young.
