The non-success of this game is, for me, one of the most damning indictments of the mentality of you, the Amiga games-buying public, ever. An utterly superb game, which Mindscape put out at a bargain £19.99 (which ten very quickly dropped even further, to a practically immoral £14.99), it scratched the surface of the charts for about a month then disappeared for ever. Now you have got a second chance. Don’t screw it up again.
D/Generation is a 3D arcade puzzle shoot-em-up, which is both one of the most atmospheric and one of the most original Amiga games of the last couple of years. The CD32 version makes good use of the joypad to simplify the controls, but otherwise there are not really any new bits, which is sad. All the same, D/Gen does not need any cosmetic tweaks to make it worth buying – lovely gameplay and a perfect learning curve will keep you playing this for weeks.

The year is 2021 and you are a courier delivering a package to Genoq’s genetic research lab. So much for your career aspirations. Having jet-packed your way from Finland clutching an important parcel you discover the building’s security systems have cone completely haywire and the staff are trapped, cowering in corners.
You guessed it, a puzzle-packed arcade game lies ahead as you try to deliver your package to the head scientist. Along with the security system you have the Neogens to deal with, genetically engineered organisms that look silly but are fatal.

D/Generation is a isometric 3D effort. You guide yourself, in the form of a little sprite chap, around a series of rooms figuring out in which order to press the buttons and how to get past the nasties. Complete one of the 10 levels, and you can save your position to the CD32. Rescue a Genoq-worker, and you are rewarded with an extra life.
It does not look like much, the graphics are pretty plain with a distinctly cartoony feel, but the death scenes are a hoot, well the first couple of times anyway.

The game has been tweaked for CD32, but not much. Do not invite all your mates round, sit them in front of your shiny new CD32 and try to impress them with D/Generation. Things get better when you start playing. It is easy to get into and once you start battling through the building you uncover a very playable game. The puzzles are not mind numbing, making it all the more frustrating when you do get stuck, but your reflexes get a work-out with plenty of zapping.

A round of applause to Mindscape for supporting the CD32 so early, at this stage it needs all the games it can get. It is just a pity D/Generation looks so ordinary. There is a pretty screen or two in the introduction but the CD32 is never put through its paces, and D/Generation is a fairly straightforward copy of the original disk. There is room on the disk for a squillion more levels and funky sound at least. There has been a lot of hype about the potential of CD-based games for graphical and sonic excellence and worries about possibly weak gameplay. D/Generation is the other way around.
