679.0. "New Games?" by MR4DEC::DIPROFIO () Thu Oct 10 1991 14:52

    I would like to purchase a new fun game.  I only have Super Mario and
    Tetris.  I like to play Tetris a lot.  I wish they had more games that
    were equal to it.  I rented Vegas Dream which was fun but not worth
    $49.  I rent one called Loopz and couldn't really figure it out that
    well from the directions that come when you rent.  I tried Dream Master
    which was cute (what I saw of it) because as before the directions are
    very limited.
    
    Are there any new games out there that people have discovered recently?
    I figure with Christmas coming up fairly soon that they should be
    coming out with some different games.
    
    I would appreciate any suggestions.  
    
    Thanks
    Leone

	I recently saw RBI Baseball 3 (yes, three). I also saw a new game; Family Feud. Another new one I saw was; Classic Concentration. And of course, a recent one, still HOT, is Monopoly. There seem to be a number of games coming out STILL for the NES, even with Super-NES out there.
679.2	Look for Notes with lots of replies.	SUBWAY::LABOMBARD	Nous Sommes Du Soleil	`Thu Oct 10 1991 15:32`	14
	Hi; It appears that the "better" games seem to be those that have MANY replies listed in this notes file. Thats a rule of thumb anyway. Just a hint - Check out the Classified (Note 3.*) Sometimes you can find games there at bargin prices, so you can build up your collection far cheeper in the long run. Also, I've noticed that many games have been drastically reduced (to about $15 or so) in the stores. Good luck, and have fun Don

	I would recommend PIPE DREAMS (it goes for $19.99 now), Crystalis and SMB II.
679.4	Dr.Mario	NHASAD::BLAISDELL	Keep an even keel	`Thu Oct 10 1991 18:45`	6
	If you like Tetris, you would probably enjoy Dr. Mario. My wife and I are addicted to this game. Has two player settings to add to the enjoyment. Instead of shapes, you are dealing with colors. -rick
679.5	KLAX AND QIX	SALEM::KUPTON	Pasta Masta	`Fri Oct 18 1991 16:52`	12
	The makers of TETRIS From Russia with Love (TENGEN) have come out with KLAX. This is great game of frustration. I bought it for $19.99 and it has a $6.00 rebate from TENGEN. The game has colored tile that must be placed vertically, Horizontally,or Diagonally...Speed of tiles dropping increases at each level...Great fun. Another is QIX. A game of reducing the size of a square... Ken

	Klax is EXTREMELY hard ... makes Tetris seem like a field day. Doesn't take long for the game to get too fast to keep up with. GTI
