3 Deep Space

Crash

Producer: Postern, 16K £7.95 (1) This is the, by now, famous real 3D game which uses red and blue spectacles to create a three dimensional feeling. Sadly the effect doesn't come off at all, with few people reporting any success with the effect. On top of that, the game itself is not sufficiently exciting enough to be worth the very high price asked. Basically you ship moves vertically at the lefty of the screen, confronting the alien ships which move from right to left. You can 'zoom' in and out of the screen to match the depth of the attacking vessels. 6 control keys, no joystick option, smooth movement but not colourful and only average sound. Overall CRASH rating M/C

Producer: Postern Memory Required: 16K Recommended Retail Price: £7.95 Language: machine code 3D has often been misnamed in computer games, sometimes only meaning a shape has a shadowed edge to it, but Postern's space game actually employs stereoscopic vision to create a real sense of depth. To play the game you must wear the bicoloured spectacles provided with each cassette. The object of the game is very simple: you command a ship which travels vertically on the extreme left of the screen and you must blast the alien space craft which travel towards it from right to left. There are various types of alien and you score points accordingly. The novel control key is the 'zoom' one. This sends you deep into the screen, or brings you back out. The aliens are all travelling at differing depths across the screen, front or back, and your laser only has any effect if you are at the identical depth to the alien. Similarly they only hit you if you are at the same depth as they are. COMMENTS Keyboard positions: difficult to control with 6 keys Joystick options: none Keyboard play: responsive Use of colour: red, blue and yellow Graphics: simple and smooth, 3D if it works Sound: average Skill levels: 1 Lives: 1

In 3 DEEP SPACE no one can hear you sizzle.
