Crystal X Software If you take a look at page 56, you'll find a storming review of the excellent Stellar Outpost, a game from Angela Swinbourne of Crystal X Software. This is a home brewery that, for the year or so that it's been around, has specialised in strategy games. Anyway, we thought we'd have a flick through Crystal X's catalogue. Sector 5 Could it be yet another two-player wargame? Sure is, and again it involves the domination of an alien planet. But this time you're not trying to prevent it, you're trying to achieve it. The game is all about conquering sectors of the planet (you need five) by occupying the target square with your forces. I could spend ages going into strategies, tactics, and the like, but it won't really do you much good. In fact, I'm quite sure it'd be a lot easier to summarise by saying: - It's a board game-type thing.
- It involves things like missiles, mines and teleports.
- It's good.
Thank you, and good night. Rating : *** AA#99 |
