Eat The WhistleSoccer game
Hurricane Studios
Epic Marketing
The first game from Hurricane Studios was also the first new soccer game to reach the Amiga in well over a year. Impressions have been mixed but it is certainly a good game with many interesting features and is sure sign of more good things to come from Hurricane Studios.

MAX RallyOverhead Racer
Fortress
Fortress
Independent Software's houses have done well this year with Fortress being one of them, releasing MAX Rally an overhead racer. In an Amiga Flame review MAX Rally scored 80% and is a great little racer, played best in multi-player mode.
Vote
OlofightBeat'em up
The Real Ologram
The Real Ologram
The last game to be released in 1998 came from Italian games developers, The Real Ologram who spent over a year to make Olofight, a beat'em up with some amazing graphics and special features. But is it better than Capital Punishment, you decide?
Vote
QuakeThe sequel to the Doom series
ID Software/ ClickBOOM
PXL Computers
ClickBOOM did a tremendous job in converting what has been described as being one of the best games ever to be made. The Doom series was good but Quake quite literally blew them away. ClickBOOM managed to release Quake at the same time as Genetic Species with stiff competition between Amiga Gamers and Magazines to which was the best.

Sixth Sense InvestigationsA graphic adventure in a comedy style
CineTech
Islona/ Epic Marketing
Swiss developers, CineTech created an amazing enjoyable adventure game based on a quite crazy but very calm, man who has the paranormal feature of being able to communicate with the spirit of a sarcastic bad dead man. A friend who is a detective uses his skills to solve the most bizarre problems of the rich people generating many crazy and funny situations.
Vote
Ultra Violent WorldsShoot'em up
Vorlan Software
Vorlan Software
Ultra Violent Worlds turned up as quite a shock for me, the first News article I did on it was about its release. It was a shoot'em up in the traditional style added with some new features and ideas that worked well. There were other shoot'em ups released this year but none that stood out above Ultra Violent Worlds.
Vote
Virtual Karting 2A coin'op-style arcade/ simulation
Fabio Bizzetti
Epic Marketing
The first Virtual Karting went down well with Amiga Gamers originally with many attracted to the idea of karting. The sequel was mainly concerned with updating the bugs, inclusion of new tracks and other features added. A good game to buy if you didn't have the original.
Vote
Zombie MassacreA 3D Doom clone
Alpha Software
Epic Marketing
Alpha Software attempted to get Zombie Massacre out in time for Halloween but didn't make it but it's a cracker 3D Doom clone filled with some seriously bloody graphics and gut wrenching sound effects, warranting a 18 certificate. Vote for Zombie Massacre if you dare!
