Developed by BOMB Software, it perhaps did bomb a little against it’s competitors, featuring a shotgun which had a particular and somewhat upsetting lack of recoil action when you fired, so much so, that it kinda detached the whole experience for me – call me picky. But it did supply you with full screen action. Something which I found particularly impressive, despite the low resolution graphics..

There were high hopes for the Amiga FPS game Fears but despite a good atmosphere this was another game that failed to deliver the goods. It looks incredibly primitive compared to the likes of Duke Nukem 3D and Quake and the gameplay soon becomes tiresome. It is quite amusing in Fears though how they pilfer the weapon designs from Doom..

Fears was based upon a PD game called Fear and was designed to show that Doom could be released on the Amiga. The A1200-only game was basic in almost every way with poor level design, poor AI, and frustrating gameplay. It's only saving grace was a level editor bundled that allowed anyone to design their own levels. Unsurprisingly no one did..
