Baal
At the time famed for its brilliant box-art and tarnished by moans of its loading time Baal is perhaps not one of Psygnosis's high points. But what we have is a game that on first impressions has great graphics (check out the backdrops), a nice bit of digi music at the start and beautiful scrolling in game.
Play wise, the game is your run of the mill platform arcade adventure which holds you down to its visuals no doubt and large playing area. Wayne Smithson has done a good job on the game and the coordinate system is great to help mapping and finding the jet-packs scattered around the levels. However I personally don't think there are enough aliens to blast as you go around.
The game to me however is still average and pulled to 'above average' by the splendid visuals - but just not enough to keep this gamer hooked for long enough sadly
