@ Game Geek News: New
product at the Big E3
Numerous new products
to be unveiled at this year’s
Electronic Entertainment
Expo (E3). Watch for
Nintendo's "Game Boy
Camera’ which brings video
games and photography
together for the first time.
Not to be outdone, Martel
will introduce the "Barbic
Digital Camera,” a CD-ROM

equipped with its own special
camera so kids can download
themselvesinto Barbie's
world- now that's spooky!
@ Playstation: Deathtrap
Dungeon

Hmmm. Brought to us by
the Tomb Raider people
(Eidos) and uses the Tomé
Raider engine but compared
to Tomb Raider, Deathtrap
Dungvon bites the big one.
Low-res graphics, frame-rate
prone to flickering, spasmad-
ic camera angles which torally
foul up control and poorly

modeled charac-
ters make the best
things on Tomb
Raider the worst
things on
Deathtrap.
However, after
my initial and
tremendous dis-
appointment
through compari-
son, I set about
searching for
something meri-
torious to say about
Deathtrap. Surc, it’s not a

Lara Croft-

even as good as
Nightmare
Creatures,
Activision’s awe-

rip-off — but for-

pretty cooi
Dungeons
Dragons-wpe
adventure of old

Friday, May 22, 1998 — North Shore News — 21

It’s a third-person RPG
without all the scrolling text
and dramatic posturing. Lot’s
of sword and sorcery stuff
here, a sub menu just waiting
for you to load up with spe-
cial tricks and goodies. Lots
of exploring and lever-yank-
ing and monster stomping.
Sure, it’s not very fluid or
awe-inspiring, in fact, it’s
pretty darn clumsy through
and threugh. But hey, it’s a
game. And that’s it. Good
rental. OK purchase.

Who says cheaters never win?
