Yum! --- The Evil Tofu From: seanmcd@ac.dal.ca Newsgroups: comp.sys.mac.games Subject: Pathways into Darkness: Awesome Message-ID: <1993Jul7.165710.14840@ac.dal.ca> Date: 7 Jul 93 16:57:10 -0300 Organization: Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada Lines: 29 I just got Pathways into Darkness (demo) from sumex -- it's AMAZING! The graphics are very smooth on a IIfx, filling roughly 1/3 of the screen. On a Centris or Quadra, this game should be nothing short of spectacular. Note that the graphics can be resized to any size depending on your preference. The way that the view emerges out of the darkness is excellent. It's also enough to get your pulse pounding. I was running backward down a hall, firing at a Headless while dodging green goo by shifting left and right. The headless had no problem whipping around a corner on its skinny legs and doing me in. I've only played it for 10 minutes, but I'm hooked. The graphics are crisp, sharp and detailed. Of course, it gets blocky when you get up close, but not too blocky. My only request: recompile for PowerPC. If so, I might never be seen in public again. Size: about 950K compressed. Requirements: 256 colours, 2 MB ram free, system 6.05 or higher. (runs in a 2048K partition). Goodies: with System 7.0 or higher and Sound Manager 3.0, active panning stereo sound is supported!! Whip out those headphones or speakers. 'nuf said. get it.

Any info would be appreciated. R.

This has got to be the best Macintosh game ever! Thank you Bungee software! When this comes out, everyone must go BUY a copy of this...support great game developers like this! My 5 cents worth... Get it, it's UNBELIEVABLE (so smooth on my quadra.. but graphics are adjustable also for slower machines.. -Matt sibeling@mead.u.washington.edu |
