3112.0. "MDK" by ASDG::JOHNSON (wraflc::games) Mon Feb 17 1997 11:43

    Anyone out there seen the demo for MDK? Graphics are very impressive,
    I'm running it on a plane vanilla P5-133 with an STB 2meg DRAM video
    card. According to the system test that is included I'm able to run
    the game around the 65% level but everything seems fine with smooth
    scrolling etc. 
    
    Game is a 1st person shooter ala Fade to Black but again, the graphics!
    Demo is rather short (demo file is ~7.8megs) but enough to wet your
    appetite.
    
    Game release date is March '97 but I'm not holding my breath.

    Can you give a few details? How about...where the demo file(s) may be
    located (or is this off one of these magazine CDROMs?)

    Just got the demo with this months PC Format mag. Had a quick look.
    Looks good, but how do you get past the glass wall?

    I pulled my demo off of the net from HappyPuppy, I think Lord Soth's
    site has it as well.
    
    As far as the glass wall goes an absolute spoiler follows:
    
    
    
    First you have to kill three of the "mech warriors" that will appear up
    on the tower behind the wall. These are the three that waive the bulls
    eyes which you have to hit. Use sniper mode. After the third warrior
    is killed more warriors appear. Ignore these guys. Just below where the
    warriors are standing you'll see a figure head of some type....shoot
    that. This will blow up the tower and all remaing warriors. Now move
    up to the wall, not too close, and throw your grenade at it...the wall
    will shatter and you're on your way.

Absolutely AMAZING game, straight onto my upcoming birthday list, 
should be even more awesome with the 3dfx version.

3112.5Game better than demoASDG::JOHNSONwraflc::gamesWed May 14 1997 17:366
    Well I bought MDK last night. Unfortunately my son loaded it wouldn't
    give it up to me! The graphics are totally unbelievable...more so than
    the demo.....wait till you get to a mirrored hall...impossible to tell
    your character from the reflextions.....
