In Con-Quest, you play a little Magic Knight lookalike called Oscar, who's been left an old house by his dead aunt. Unfortunately, the house has been taken over by an evil demon and his cronies, so the game centres around Oscar's attempts to rid the mansion of all the bad guys before (presumably - I never got that far!) taking on the leader, Grell. You have to explore the mansion, searching for items to kill certain baddies with. There's even a car hidden somewhere, so you can zoom around without encountering baddies (until the petrol runs out!). The sound is poor but the graphics are above average - atmospheric though a bit dark - and the game is definitely addictive. The main down points are the sheer size of the game, and the amount of items you are given with no clue as to their use. As a result, you're left with a good game that could have been excellent. |

Game Play
An isometric wonderland - you can move through various doors to new rooms - lots of rooms to explore. Various nasties floating around (especially the snake). All can be killed though with the appropriate weapons. Some objects are used to open doors, move through fireplaces and get items from vending machines. Lots of puzzles and mayhem. Keep track of where you are going as it is easy to get lost in this huge maze.
