P173 Teletext 173 Jan 9 22:14:47 PANZER DRAGOON PC—————————————————————— Sounding like some crazy WW2 wargamj, Panzjr Dragoon is in fact a stunningly beautiful dragonback shoot 'em up. Eollowing a lovely pre-rendered intro, Panzjr kicks into gear with you riding atop a winged lizard, picking off a variety of surreal enemies. Though you are in essence plugged into the dragon's pre-set course, you're able to fly above or below obstacles, and move your head 360-degrees. Like an owl.

The graphics look as amazing as they ever did and quite unlike anything else on the PC. Also, this is a worthy and clever update of the classic R-Tzpj- style of shoot 'em up. However, as owners of the Saturn game will testify, Panzjr is a short-lived thing of beauty. As lovely-looking and playable as it is, you'll have the thing "licked" in a couple of days. ——————————————————————————————————2/3—— Greasy Green 160 Sticky pop 480 BAMBER WHINES ABOUT WINE p152 Hot Topic Tips Club 140 TVP173 Teletext 173 Jan 9 22:04:53 PANZER DRAGOON PC CD-ROM bz Sega PLAYERS: 1 VISUALS 84% LIFESPAN 70% SOUNDS 88% ORIGINALITY 69% GAMEPLAY 84% OVERALL 79% UPPERS: Absolutely gorgeous, and very nice to play.
