Big thanks to Rob Holman and Chris White (The President) for info on Enigma.
I must say that all games by Enigma have got nice graphics and good music. But I can't find any playability there. Maybe that's the reason why people didn't bought new games from Enigma (probably not the main reason, but who knows...) ----- note: Go to http://get.to/hcc and see arcade game tournaments (there are Sam games too) ----- Look at details: --------- Defenders - graphics reasonable, music only 3 channel mono (why?), playability none Escape - graphics: silly in menu (ZXS pictures), o.k. in game, music very simple, but reasonable, playability: good for a little time, then boring, since it is still the same again and again Future Ball - graphics reasonable, music good, playability none Sphera - graphics: good, music: good, but extremely short, playability: very low, since you only fly, fly, and fly, and nothing else (something like Escape) Pipe Mania - no problems, this game is great (I'm not sure, whether this is Enigma one or not.) Sam Out - nice graphics & music, no playability (extremely stupid one!) Five - primitive game engine, no music (I don'k know much about the scenario.) forgotten someone? Now let's look to some games from different companies: ------------ Splat - resonable graphics, great music, high playability Manic Miner - nice graphics & music, good playability (only if you like to play a game from 1983) Klax - simply great Shanghai (work of a few days): simply great Hexagonia - weird graphics & sound, great music, good playability Tetris - simply great Tweety - great graphics & music, no playability (it's a demo?) Snake Mania & Craft - simply great Prince Of Persia - great, but the playability is a bit worse etc. So, Enigma did a *nice* games, but forgot the playability. I'm affraid this is a BIG problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Aley [eili] Keprt - student, programmer (multimedia soft. etc.) phone: +420-68-538 70 35 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** http://get.to/aley ----------------------------------------------------------------
