536.0. "ASTYANAX" by DNEAST::DUMAIS_BOB () Tue Oct 23 1990 08:22

    	Anyone purchased or rented this game?  It's made by Jalaco and been
    reviewed by Nintendo Power (NP).  NP gave the game a fairly good
    rating.  I'd be interested in knowing what you,  who have played,  think
    about this game.  Thanks for you reply.

536.25/10CADSYS::COOKNeil: ALOE? ALOE? Is there anyone there?Sat Jan 19 1991 14:5211
    I was given this game by my wife. Unfortunately it's not my favourite
    style of game - I prefer the adventure style more. I finished it in
    about five days (and I worked between Christmas and New Year's break).
    
    There is only one route from beginning to end except for a single,
    easily solved, maze. It was fun, but not very interesting while it was
    very frustrating trying to work out the ways to kill the bigger
    monsters.
    
    Generally it was 'OK'. Others might enjoy it more than I did.

536.4Defeating CaezarDNEAST::PATTERSON_MAWed Mar 06 1991 15:129
    hi,
       On the first level of astynax the boss called Caezar can be defeated
    easily if you save some of your magic your magic and attack with the
    fire spell if you don't have enough magic then jump and attack his head
    until the rider falls off then crouch and attack the rider ,and attack
    quickly before he can recover from your blow.
        
    
       MAP.
536.5No way to SAVE !!!!RAYBOK::COOPEROne-ton Tomato !Mon Nov 04 1991 16:1710
    This is an OK game but not a great one. I didn't notice when purchasing
    the game that there is no password feature or any other mechanism for
    saving your place in the game. I made it through level 3 and then
    discovered this when I was trying to save the game prior to dinner.
       I guess I could leave the deck powered up until I finish the game
    but this seems a little extreme. Maybe it isn't a very long game
    so it isn't that much of an inconvinience to fight through the same
    levels time after time.  Oh well, just wanted to gripe a little !!
