the Rave- by Trevor Smith

I received something really amazing in the mail this month--MicroLearn Game Pack Volume II. For those of you who have never seen this--even if you don't like games--you don't know what you are missing!

MLGP2 is the slickest application I have ever seen. From the graphics to the interface, this is one of the best put together packages, game or business application, on any platform. Some people with low end machines or buggy video drivers may have problems that limit their enjoyment of it, but if you have a machine up to the task (any respectable OS/2 machine will do) you will be amazed. I won't go into too much detail, since we already have a full review of the game pack in this issue, but I just had to rave about how smooth this little beauty is.

Some people think more realistic graphics, a-la-Wing Commander III, are more impressive, but I say, "Pshaw!" Those are just digitizations. Every piece of MLGP2 is beautifully and painstakingly drawn by hand. They are a perfect example of how arcade graphics should look.

From the moment you run the installation program, you will appreciate the attention to detail put into MLGP2. The interface, sound effects, musical scores and documentation are all top notch. I can't stress enough how pleasant a relief this is from some of the thrown-together OS/2 software I have seen.

And the price! For a reasonable price, you get eight different games--from arcade action to memory testing--all fun. You can't go wrong. I'm just amazed that no-one told me before, how just plain great this program is. Check it out.
