Takeovers seem to be flavour of the month. Firebird now has the marketing rights to Odin's games Nodes of Yesod and Robin of the Wood. Robin is good at just that -robbin' the rich to give to the poor. In a maze-like Sherwood forest you will find the Sheriffs men, druids and the odd hedgehog. (In the days before the Ml and fast lorries there Firebird Gold has passed the Amstrad by, Elite being the only exception. There are at least two new titles being prepared to set that right. The second Firebird title has an unpronounceable Sioux Indian name. This is not surprising since there were so many Indian tribes, each with a different tongue, they often resorted to sign language. But that tells you nothing of the game. Well it's 3D, wireframe, with graphics fast enough to shame Design Design. You control a robot which roams the planet surface, running between tall buildings and capturing other robots by taking over their thoughts, a bit like one of the games in Comet. All these ideas being ripped-off are enough to make you Paranoid. You then view the world through the eyes of the captured robot. This game is some way off being released but wait for it - it's gonna be a biggie. ACU #8607 PAGE(S): 1 2 PAGE(S): 1 2
