Dudley of Yesterzine | PC Review Issue 7 - Yesterzine 48 - Medium Length Marillion Song @Yesterzine | Uploaded December 2022 | Updated October 2024, 52 minutes ago.
It's Doscember and we crash right into the middle of the era with May 1992's PC Review. The PC is JUST overhauling the Amiga as the graphical fidelity computer of choice but it's still no means a slam dunk. In our sights 2 games that both have a very similar fault and one very weird shared trait but otherwise nothing in common.
And then we look at the buyer's guide. What were people buying 30 years ago and crucially, how much did it cost?

00:00 Intro
01:39 A lesson in PC Graphics
04:30 Gaming Heaven : Another World / Out of This World
12:24 The 1992 PC Buyer's Guide
26:09 Gaming Hell : The Taking of Beverly Hills
32:24 The back Page
Bonus Fact For Scrolling : Did you notice? Both Another World and Beverly Hills start without you having any input in the proceedings, both will kill you quickly if you don't touch the controller and both of them will kill you instantly and repetitively.
Weird that 2 games so different otherwise share traits which, especially in the case of the first one, are really not common.
