Shadowfire

Once again the Enigma team do battle against all odds, to rescue the Ambassador and capture General Zoff!

This time, the mission is on the Amstrad, but it's just as daring. You have the power to command the Enigma team, by using icons, and must make the mission a success, at any cost!

The Enigma team is made up of the following characters:

  1. Zark Monitor: Human, Commander of the Enigma team.
  2. Syylk: Insectoid, excellent fighter and second in command.
  3. Sevrina Maris: Human, excellent markswoman and locksmith.
  4. Manto: Droid, he is priceless, lose him before the mission ends and you cannot escape.
  5. Torik: Avian, excellent with explosives, makes a good scout.
  6. Maul: Powerful combat droid, strongest member of the team.
Shadowfire

Your mission is to rescue Ambassador Kryxix, capture General Zoff, and destroy the ship, Zoff V. You have a time limit of one hour and forty minutes.

The graphics on this game are pleasantly coloured, and the icons are very clear, apart from the odd one or two perhaps. And while you play the Shadowfire theme tune plays away in the background.

Overall, it's a good game, one for strategy fans, as well as adventure freaks. I think it's a good buy.
