MZX 3.0 Tragedy Chapter 3 Demo... it's like the first two games, except it's an incomplete demo. This time you're in a World War II setting.
The first part of the game consists of horrible "puzzles," like the first board where you have to blow through part of a wall with a specific amount of ammo. You have to know where exactly to bomb and exactly where to use ammo (but don't fire if you're standing right next to a brick because of the poorly coded bullet code, you'll waste a bullet) or you will have to restart. Literally if you waste one bullet you're screwed. The second is going through a lava maze that fills in as you move. If you get stuck you're screwed and will have to restart.
There's still the standard combat, but this time with code to limit the amount of bullets the player can fire at once. Also, your useless robot helper can die in this one (which ends the game). It's really useless in this game given the lack of built-in clouds.
The dogfighting and tank segments are kinda cool, but unfortunately not well executed. That dogfighting segment should have been the entire game.
It ends at a "strategy" minigame. I have to assume that's where the author got in over his head, realized he couldn't make a Megazeux RTS and quit.
At least the graphics are a little better than in the first two games...
Last thing, some of the board transitions are broken. To complete this demo you'll need to skip broken boards in the Megazeux editor. But nothing aside from the dogfighting board really seems worth checking out.
