KICK OFF KICKS OM (NEARLY) 

S till with Imagineer. the biggest news from the Japanese 

company is that they're ready to release their Nintendo conversions 

of Kick Off! NES. Game Boy and Famicom versions 

(the latter being called Pro Soccer) are standing on the touchline 

and about to, erm, kick off! 

We've seen them all and, while the 8 bit games are looking 

surprisingly good. the 16 bit effort gave us cause tor concern 

Rest assured, though, that as soon as we get a look at them, 

you'll be the first to know how these three attempts at the

extra weapons, money to buy them and the greatest

GET IN TOUCH WITH INTEX 

The intex computer is excellent. helping you with weapons, energy 

supplies and ammunition. From here, you can see maps of 

the respective levels, check your health status and even have a 

game ol Video Pongl 

Seriously, one al the options is a fully playable pang game, for 

one or two players. Its a shame you can't see it in a screen 

shot but you should check out that dodgy but intentional vertical 

hold when you activate the computer...

What an incredible blast 

this is! Here•s a game which 

seems to have come from 

nowhere, and blows the 

competition away! Alien 

Breed is an excellent game 

in just about every respect, 

putting many of the offerings 

from established softcos 

to shame! You've probably 

never heard or Team 17. but I can guarantee you'll 

be hearing a lot more about these guys from now on! 

Alien Breed is best described as a Gauntlet style blast 

em up with some truly horrific aliens to dust. The game 

is slick to the max. featuring some quite superb graphics 

and truly atmospheric sound effects for that extra touch. 

But its the gameplay which scores highest off all - easy 

as pie to pick up. Alien Breed grabs you by the throat and 

refuses to let go - just like the monstrous stars of the 

show! When the entire CVG crew crowds around the 

Amiga and jockeys for the joystick. you know you're 

dealing with a hot product - and Alien Breed is a burn and 

a hall Highly recommended. 

Aaargh! Its the 'orrible 

bin monster. Constructed 

entirely of pigeon 

droppings. Jon

REVIEW 

NINTENDO C39_99 

BY NINTENDO 

F resh om is success in the dream which was Super Mario 

Bros 2. Mario wakes up to find a scrawled note lying on the 

doormat of his plumber's pad. Bearing the seal of the Princess 

Mushroom, the letter is difficult to read and obviously written in a 

hurry. 

The message warns of the treacherous Bowser, ruler of the 

Koopas, and his plan to take over the Mushroom Worlds, Having 

overrun the lands with his minions, Bowser turned the eight Kings 

into a variety of weird and wonderful animals - stealing their magic 

wands in the process, Without these they are unable to revert back 

to their regular forms, thus making it impossible to lead their people 

Putting away his plumbing gear (Mrs Miggins• leaky cistern 

would have to wait) Mario awakens his brother Luigi and, without 

pausing to consider the danger they may be placing themselves in, 

our heroes rush off to the Mushroom Lands, But Bowser is not 

stupid - summoning his seven children, the Koopalings, he orders 

them each to take an airship to one of the Mushroom Worlds and 

guard the Royal Castles with their lives. Mario has had it easy in 

the past. This time he won't succeed._

REVIEW 

A REEL WINNER 

Pressing the A button on an area Covered by a static Ace of 

Spades allows Mario to try his luck at the Spinning Reels game. 

Three items - a Starman• a mushroom and a flower are represented 

across three horizontally spinning reels, the object being 

to correctly piece together one of the items in the middle of the 

screen by hitting the A button at the right time, Successful formation 

of a whole item results in extra Maros, the highest number 

being five for the Starman Hurrah!

The third installment in the 

1NES 

Super Mario Bros 

series rears its head at last 

1and, 

in doing so, becomes, 

6for 

me, the best game ever! 

Honestly, SMB3 is so as- 

. toundingly brilliant in every 

way, shape and form I'm 

sorely tempted to go out 

and buy a Nintendo simply 

(or this cartridge. Graphically its untouchable - masses 

of bright and cheerful colour, superb definition and animation 

and hordes of different baddies to contend with - 

over fifty in all and that is a lot, let me tell you! Sound is 

Incredible. The instantly recognisable Mario effects make 

an appearance. along with some great new ones but it's 

the various ditties which appeal the most, from frenetic 

tunes to get the adrenalin racing to a couple of laid-back, 

reggae tracks containing excellent sampled drum noises! 

Then there's the game itself - and what a game! Bursting 

with secret rooms, spilling over with bonus items and 

jam-packed with enemies. SMB3 is the most spectacular 

experience yet seen on a PIES. There are continues available, 

but you won't want to use them as you'll actually 

feel disgusted with yourself for cheating! There is so 

much to collect, so much to kill, so many locations to find 

and explore, it's a puzzle as to how the creators had the 

imagination to come up with a game quite like this, let 

alone cram It all into one cartridge. What else can be said 

about Ibis, the game to beat all games? Simply this - 

Super Mario Bros 3 is one in a million, the Mona Lisa of 

video gaming. To compare it to anything else would be 

an insult - just go out. get a Nintendo and make your life 

worthwhile!

SUITS TO SUIT 

REVIEW 

FUN-FILLED FORTRESSES 

On each of the eight worlds is a fortress guarding access to the 

areas closest to the castle. These strongholds are guarded by 

Boom-Boom, boss of the Koopas and answerable only to Bowser. 

Boom-Boom holds the key to unlock the gate which, in turn, 

allows Mario to tackle the later levels of each world, but it won't 

be easy to take it from him as he*s running toward you, flying 

high and then divebombing you, and generally giving our Meditteranean 

mate a real headache - ironically, that's exactly what 

Mario must do to Boom-Boom to win his prize! 

Those silly Koopas have left a stack of power-suits scattered 

around the Mushroom Worlds and guess what - they all fit 

Mario like a glove! Here's what they are and, more importantly, 

what they do 

RACOON SUIT: When he's running at top speed. Mario can 

lump into the air and fly for a short amount of time! Not only 

that, but that furry tail makes a great whip to biff baddies with! 

TANOOKI SUIT: Not only does this furry suit give Mario all th 

powers available by donning the Racoon Suit, it also allows him 

to turn into a statue' 

FROG SUIT: Don this green garb on the watery levels and in.

UPDATE 

Nintendo won't be releasing 

SMB3 on any other machine 

Why should they. when they 

know fine well that it will shift 

untold quantities of their own 

console?' 

HAMMER SUIT: No, not sunglasses and baggy trousers, but a 

smart set of logs rogued from the Hammer Bros gives Mario a

Slippin-rippin-dang-fangrotten-zarg-a-barg-a-dingdong! 

It's finally here. The 

game you thought would 

never actually exist. The 

best game ever. To be the 

best game ever, you would 

have to have perfect 

playabilty, immense lastability 

and graphics and sonics 

that pushed the host machine beyond its limits. 

Mario 3 does all those things and more Fluid, smooth, 

uncomplicated controls, lush graphics and unbelievably 

lefty sampled tunes all add up to the most technically 

brilliant product on the NES. Better yet is the enormous 

variety of gameplay styles at your disposal. The game is 

massive. The stated eight levels are huge enough, but 

there are absolutely tons of hidden features and screens 

all over the place. There are sub-games aplenty. secret 

screens, bonus rooms, hidden levels and believe it or 

don't, a whole playable version of the original Mario Bros. 

game. This makes Sonic the Hedgehog look like a wet 

Sunday norning and even gives the Famicom's mighty 

Mario 4 a run for its money. If you have an NES, go down 

to your local Spank menagerie and software emporium 

and purchase this immediately, if you don't have an NES. 

go and buy one right now.

OK, so answer me one 

thing. How the hell do you 

get a magazine out when 

the entire CVG office has 

gone down with a severe 

case of Martoitis? Symptoms 

include wide eyes 

glued to the screen, fingers 

clamped around the joypad 

and an inane sloppy grin 

stretched from ear to ear. All work stops when Mario 3 is 

on the screen, and who cares about little things like 

eating and sleeping when you're playing a game this 

good? You have to see it to believe it, but Mario 3 is the 

best thing on any machine outside an arcade since, well, 

whatever used to be the best thing on any machine 

outside an arcade. Graphics and sound are superb, but 

the gameplay manages to defy even my highest words of 

praise! Its near flawless in its utterly stupendous Incredibility 

and absolutely impossible to put down for anything 

less than a fire alarm - and even then you find yourself 

weighing up the odds! Mario 3 is so addictive It ought to 

get a government health warning. Hide the cartridge and 

people start to get withdrawal symptoms - Its that good! 

Anyway, why am I sat here writing this when I ought to be 

perfecting my technique? Sell your dad's socks if you 

have to, but raise the cash and buy Mario 3 as soon as 

you possibly can - then remember to thank us for telling 

you about it first?

Geoff Crammond has a history 

of knocking out excellent 

car games, Revs and 

Stunt Car Racer being two 

brilliant examples. But why 

rest on your laurels when 

you can sit and slave for a 

year at a piece of software 

which surpasses all your 

previous efforts? Mircoprose's 

Formula One Grand Prix is the last word in highspeed 

driving games, except that it's not a game at all. 

Its an accurate simulation of a full Fl season, with all the 

attention to detail which we've come to expect from the 

masters of sim. The teams are there, the tracks are there, 

all accurately mapped from the real thing. If you happened 

to videotape the Monaco Grand Prix earlier this 

year, for example, put it on with the Fl Grand Prix version 

next to it and you'll notice that all the buildings are exactly 

where they are in real life! Whilst realism is important in 

any kind of sim, so too is playability and Grand Prix 

certainly scores here. Pull on your helmet, make sure the 

fire extinguisher's working and boot up Formula One 

Grand Prix, the fastest, smoothest, most exhilarating 

drive this side of Monaco!

TYRED OUT 

The longer and faster you drive, the quicker your tyres will wear 

out. There are four types available, each suited to different conditions. 

The longer you persevere with a worn-out set of rubbers, 

the slower your car will run - so it's a good tip to dip into 

the pits as soon as you notice a drop in performance and get 

new wheels a bit sharpishl 

EASY 

KEYS EYS 

The reason Fl drivers like 

Mansell and Senna command 

such high salaries (our 

Nige got about seven million 

for this season!) is because 

race-driving is quite a difficult 

thing to do, actually. 

Lucky for you, there are a 

few keys available on the 

computer versions to make 

tearing around in a 200mph 

bullet that bit less of a chore. 

Not only are there the predictable 

ones such as invincibility 

and automatic gear- 

; change, but a couple of 

novel inclusions too - the faitility 

to brake automatically 

on corners and, the most useful 

one to F1 track stars, the 

addition of a line on the track 

showing the best route to 

take around bends!

SLIPPERY 

RIDE 

Being a simulation as opposed 

to a game, Formula 

One has a number of features 

normally available only 

to multi-million pound racing 

pros Little graphical niceties 

are included, like a member

when you make

where unfortunate racers

have come to a sticky end. 

y o 

Then there are the extras, 

not u usually r found in computer 

driving games but 

which the real guys experience 

every time they take to 

the road. The best of these is 

the effect of driving in 

the opposition's slipstream, 

at which point your engine 

revs higher - allowing you to 

Pull out and overtake easily! 

REVIEW 

As far as I'm concerned 

Geoff Crammond has the 

Midas touch • everything he 

works on is pure gold. Here 

he's gone platinum and produced 

a racing game so utterly 

superb I can hardly believe 

what I've seen - let 

alone played! Somehow 

Formula One Grand Prix really 

does manage to capture all the best bits of racing fast 

cars for big money. Just drool over these screen shots, 

imagine all this running in real-time super-smooth 3D 

with yourself in complete control of one of the cars and 

you have some idea what I'm getting hysterical about. 

Remember those car-cam shots you see on the telly? The 

graphics look just the same • and you're right in the 

middle of the action! This game is mega-fast too. There's 

an option to tone down the graphics for more speed, but 

even on full detail the cars are flying by! If you want my 

opinion, Murray Walker couldn't scream loud enough to 

do this game justice - you've got to see it to believe it. 

Stunt Car Racer used to be my all-time lave 30 racer and 

I thought nothing could top it. I was wrong and you'd be 

a right wally to miss this! Take a bow, Mr C...

REVIEW 

D e u ce Advantage! Game! You are the pits of the Earth, man! 

Tennis. A sport of kings. Bash the fuzzy ball over the net and 

hope you can still hit that sucker when your opponent bashes it 

back! The money to be made in this sport is immense and it's one 

of the few sports where women do as well financially as men. Tempers 

are short and the action intense. 

Super Tennis from Tonkin House attempts to capture the 

frenetic pace and hot bouncy action of the sport, with every feature 

of the real game included. You can play doubles or singles - either 

against the computer or against a friend. 

So grab your balls and prepare to do battle on the Centre Court. 

Who knows, you may just get to be famous... 

Gehl Another return 

cies badly wrong! 

CVG just ground tO a shuddering 

halt when this cart 

arrived. The cute, colourful 

graphics and ultra-realistic 

sound effects had everyone 

begging for a go. As far as 

gameplay is concerned, 

Super Tennis is probably 

the best simulation of tennis 

ever! The control pads 

four buttons give such a wide range of shots that Its 

possible to pull off some spectacular moves in times of 

stress. In one player mode Tennis is incredible. With two 

players it's unbeatable. Playing a set against a friend is 

more fun than should be allowed. You begin to get an 

Inkling why players like MacEnroe and Agassi take such 

terrible tantrums when things go wrong. The tension you 

feel when you have to play a Tie-Break to decide the 

winner is unbearable. Each player from the list plays a 

little differently, each with good points and bad. For 

example, some players can dive for shots while others 

have excellent serves. Choose your favourite and get 

ready for one of the best Sport simulations ever!

1 REVIEW 

ARE YOU BLINu 

THE BALL WAS IN! 

There are three different court surfaces to choose from. Clay, a 

lawn and artificial. The artificial surface is the most predictable 

and therefore the easiest to play on Players run a tad faster on 

the rubberized surface and the ball bounces higher. The lawn is 

the nicest in terms of feel and players are more inclined to dive 

for the ball on this surface. If you want a real challenge though. 

try playing on the clay court. The ball is unpredictable, the 4 

players slower and the going tougher. Clay is the surface for 

act hard - so choose it! 

big. clever tennis players who want to impress their malind 

So you want to be a super-fit 

tennis star with a jet-propelled 

serve, wear tight little 

shorts and run about throwing 

huge tantrums when 

fine calls don't go your 

Super Tennis is quite sim- 

fr4w a y ply ? the Well, most now fun you'll you have can! 

outside the Centre Court - 

and just make sure there's nothing breakable around 

when you play! Somehow Tonkin House have captured 

all the speed and excitement of tennis and made it 

possible for absolutely anyone to play. First of all there's 

the quite breathtaking speed of the game: you have to be 

quick of the mark to return those rocket-hot serves and 

follow them up with an almost limitless variety of moves. 

Then there's the cutesy graphics and quite superb sound 

- so good you'd almost swear you were there! Above all 

there's the unbelievable tension generated by the game. 

Its hard to explain, but you've just GOT to win! You II do 

anything to dust your opponent, even If that means 

throwing tantrums to put him off the game! Forget the 

gentle sport of lawn tennis, Dan Maskell and all that - 

Super Tennis is a killer of a game and any hoishot Famicom 

owner who doesn t bust his balls for a copy should 

get his head examined. Its that good!

HE WEIRD WORLD 

OF PSYCHIC TWINS 

The Twins are a bit of a sad case. They were separated from 

each other as infants and their pop was killed. Brought up believing 

themselves to be only children, they somehow developed 

a kind of psychic link. So bizarre was the extent of this 

link, that often they ate meals at exactly the same time! 

Sometimes they would wear the same kind of clothes, even 

though they were separated by thousands of miles. Often they 

would both turn out in jeans, T•shirt and trainers • uncanny! 

Weirdest of all, when they did finally meet they discovered that 

they both shared exactly the same birthday! Spookalicious or 

what? (You Idiot- Ed)

BIG THRILLS AHOY! 

Megatwins game is a cutesy (and I stress the word cutesy) platform 

romp. featuring the two player antics of the Megatwins. 

The action takes place on the ground. in the air and under the 

a with the gamestyle changing to suit the environment 

he twins can hack at the baddies with their big choppers, often 

eating hidden bonus coins and other equally useful goodies 

y serious avenging twin should never be without. 

appearance the game is a bit similar to Minderboy 3. bU 

RPG bit isn't there and this one features more plador 

you can s h a k e a sword at... 

Cutesy platform romparama 

seems to be the order of 

the day right now, what with 

the likes of Rodland. Magic 

Pockets, Marvel Land, 

Snow Bros and countless 

others trying to tickle us all 

under the chin - and Mega 

Twins ranks up there with 

the best of them. This is a 

fine conversion of a pretty spiffy coin-op, containing all 

the playability of the original. My only criticism is that the 

levels tend to look a bit samey, but that's not unique to 

this game and exactly the same grumble applies to the 

arcade original. I've seen so many cutesie games lately 

they're almost coming out of my ears, but Mega Twins is 

just so darned good you just have to keep playing - and 

recommendations don't come too much higher than that! 

If you're ready for more oh-so-lovely graphics and a game 

which plays like a dream, then Mega Twins is the one for 

you.

thoroughly trounced by James Pond • Underwater Agent Now 

he's been hiding away and planning his next evil escapade. After 

months of thought, the perfect idea suddenly appears in Maybe's 

brain - and ifs all to do with toys. 

But how can harmless toys possibly harm mankind? By altering 

their workings so that they become psycopathic killers. that's how. 

One quick jaunt to the Arctic later and hey presto' A toy factory site 

taken over, the toys are tampered with and the devillish Doc is 

ready to put his plan into action 

Except that Maybe has not banked upon the wondrous advancements 

of piscine technology, F.I.5.1-1 agents have devised the ulti• 

male agent - Robocod. Half aquatic animal, half machine, Robocod's 

directives are to shut down every toy in sight before shutting 

down Doc Maybe - for good. Sounds easy? It would be, were it not

Look familiar to you. this Robocod geezer/ That's because he's 

been modelled • from the original underwater agent. James 

Pond As if you haven't guessed yet. Robocod is the sequel to 

that great computer and console game! 

While appearances suggest that the two are one and the same, 

the new. improved version has a number of revolutionary features. 

some of which you have to see to believe/ 

James Pond was a scorcher 

of a title. so much so that It 

became one ol the few computer 

games to make the 

transition to cartridge. And 

whilst the sequel incorporates 

a very different style of 

gameplay. this one looks to 

be heading exactly the 

same way! Robocod is an 

excellent piece of software, lifting the styles of both 

Super Mario Bros and Sonic The Hedgehog and placing 

them into a frenetic game full of jolly sprites and challenging 

platform action. Robocod's graphics really are something 

special: a jamboree of cute baddies. the best of 

which is that old sweetie himself, Bertie Bassett! There 

are also masses of collectables, including one of real 

Significance to myself - a Newcastle Brown Ale Bottle 

(well, that's what it looks like to me. anyway)! Lashings 

of sound only add to the games overall atmosphere, 

making the overall package one of such a high quality 

that only a sad fool would deign to pass it by.

straight up, then grab an object and shimmy along to avoid 

those annoying floor-based hazards! 

Treated to an early preview 

of Robocod come time ago. 

I knew we were in for something 

very special. What an 

emormous tall this game is! 

No matter what anyone else 

tells you, Robo is very reminiscent 

of both Sonic and 

Mario - but takes the best 

bits out of each and creates 

a fine balance between the two. The graphics are simply 

gorgeous - somebody has gone to a lot of trouble to get 

the colour co-ordination just right and make the whole 

thing look like a big bold bag of jelly tots! Gameplay is 

where Robocod scores highest, though. There's almost 

nothing you can't do. and half the fun is finding just what 

lies in those strange places you didn't think you could 

reach. rm fast running out of superlatives here, so let me 

just say that I think Robocod is one of the best Amiga

frames of the fighters lean, mean lighting machines who will do 

anything and everything in the search lor extreme violence and a 

big payoff Such is the world of the streetlighter a world captured 

in all its glory in Domark's conversion of the Tengen coin-op 

From a choice of three combatants each with their own particular 

strengths, one or two players go into the pit and battle against 

the line-up of lop brawlers, both male and female, who are put before

Pitfighter has to be one of 

cade games around. With 

its use of enormous digitised. 

scaled sprites and 

ultra violence it was also 

going to be one of the most 

difficult conversions to produce, 

Thankfully. programmers 

Teque have 

turned in a competent job. Graphically, Pitfighter is very 

good - not as awesome as the coin-op. but not far off with 

massive, reasonably smoothly animated characters. 

Special mention must go to the sprite scaling, which 

works remarkably well, helping in no small way to capture 

the feel of the arcade original. The same is true of the 

sound - with plenty of "oof s and "urgh"s and a cracking 

tune. Where Pitfighter can be found lacking is in its 

control, It takes what seems like ages for the characters 

to respond to your joystick movements and sometimes 

they don't do anything at all! Having said that, you learn 

to anticipate movements and get the shot in before your 

enemy can do anything and its at this point that 

Pitt ighter becomes a satisfying, if not completely accurate, 

conversion of a fabulous coin-op.

REVIEW 

PIT FIGHTING HEROES 

The original Pitfighter coin-op allowed three players to light simultaneously 

against both the opponents and each Other Due to 

the computer's restrictions, that number has had to be reduced 

by one, but there are still the orginal trio of pit fighters to choose 

from. Here they are, in all their glory 

. 

With Christmas just around 

the corner, it could be a 

straight scrap between this 

and Final Fight - reviewed 

last ish - for the number one 

slot in Santa's sack. Domark 

took on one mother of 

a task when they said they 

were converting this Atari 

coin-op. and thankfully the 

results are pretty good! Tackling the arcade original's 

sprite scaling head-on, they've come up with a graphics 

system which lust about apes the coin-op and looks 

pretty damn good on the Amiga when you see it first time. 

You'll find loads of features from the original included in 

the game - scrapping away in the middle of the crowd, 

these bloodthirsty so-and-sos will try to push you back 

in if you try to do a runner! Boasting some fine digitised 

graphics and well above average sound, Pitfighter has all 

the hallmarks of a great game, but is let down in the 

playability stakes by a control method which is a bummer 

at best and a bitch at worst. Once you allow for this, and 

you will, Pitt ighter becomes a game you'll want to return 

to - but I have to say that US Gold's Final Fight just has 

the edge in the playability stakes. Try to take a look at 

both before you buy and decide which one's right for you.

BIRTHDAY BLUES 

IDIOTS RULE, OK? 

)0c, 

Dear YOB. 

I have been writing to you lots of times to win E100 but I have 

never won it, The reason I have tried to win £100 is because I am 

saving up to buy something for my sister's birthday. I am going to 

get her a game for her Megadrive because when it was my birthday 

she bought me a game for my Nintendo, So please, please, 

please can you lend me E100 - not for me but to buy my sister a 

present. 

Me and my sister buy CVG every month. In issue 116 we noticed 

a little mistake on page 48. The review of Heroquest received a 

HIT! mark but overall it received only 87% and a game has to 

have 90% or more to become a HIT! Finally, I would lust like to 

ask you, are there any WWF Wrestling games for the NES? Anyway, 

I have to go now. Bye. 

ALEC WILLIAMS 

London 

YOB: OK Smart Alec, its time for red faces all round. Hero. 

quest got the HIT! 'cos Jon can't count too well and ran out 

of fingers past twenty-toe. As for WWF Wrestling games for 

the NES - I've decided your letter is worth about 00% because 

you obviously haven't read our exclusive Preview 

which would have told you all about It! This means you're 

definitely not a HIT! with the CVG crew and don't get any 

cash at all. Happy Birthday Sis. 

Dear YOB, 

Are Master Systems phased out? If so. do you want to buy one 

(seeing as you're a poor old YOB) because, having a Game Boy 

and a Megadrive. I have slopped buying Master System games.

Dear YOB, 

My name is Daniel, I'm 20 and I work in the cinema box office in 

Middlesborough. One evening I was a bit surprised by the behaviour 

of a small boy. He bought a ticket to see Cinderella. proceeded 

to Screen One and, ten minutes later, returned to buy another 

one. He went away again and returned to purchase a third 

ticket. Then he went away, returned once more and, yet again, 

came back and bought a fourth ticket. But by this time the show 

had started so when the boy came back to buy a fifth ticket I 

asked him 'Why do you keep coming back and buying more tickets?" 

The boy replied: "Every time I try and get into the cinema 

some chap lakes my ticket and tears it in half!"

SOCCER? 

WHAT A BALLS-UP! 

Dear YOB, 

Now I am not one to harp on constantly about the lack of variety 

found in Megadrive games. I can tell you that I love playing Zero 

Wing, Hellfire, Gynoug, Fire Mustang. Thundedorce I and 

XDR. Truxxton, Curse. Darwin 4081. Grenada X, Insector X. Flying 

Shark, Musha, Whip Rush. Phelios and Tara! Tara! Tara! lust 

as much as the next man. Indeed. I cherish my little black arid 

plastic number, my Megadrive, and often demonstrate my love to 

it through its cartridge slot. Come to think of it the circuits don't 

seem to be running as smoothly as they used to. 

As well as my physical devotion to my beloved beauty. I often 

like to buy it gilts and the single present I would most like to buy it 

would be a decent football game. I have shrewdly studied, 

scanned and scoured your sapient magazines and noticed that 

on other formats there are loads of great soccer games: Kick Ott 

and Kick Off 2, Formation Soccer, Soccer and tons of others 

found on home computers. 

The Megadrive is left with incredibly crap Italia '90. Kick Off 2 is 

even going to appear on the Game Gear, so I am sure ills not 

down to technical deficiencies on the Megadrive that a good football 

game cannot be produced for it_ So please could you tell me 

if there are any decent soccer games coming out on the Megadrive 

and if there are not can you explain why the hell not!

YOB: I asked the boys about this one, and the word from the 

CVG soccer yobbos is that anybody who makes Megadrives 

and doesn't make sure there's a conversion of Kick Off avail- 

able for it as soon as possible has got to be right off their 

soccer rockers! I don't know anything for sure 'cos nobody 

will tell me, but somehow my Spidey sense tells me you 

won't be a poor, sad, soccer-starved Megamanlac for too

SUPER SONIC 

SILLINESS 

1i Dear YOB, 

Listen up, because you and 

the rest of the gang at CVG 

are in BIG. tfouble My mate 

has recently bought a copy ol 

your magazine and thought it 

was time to get rid of his Atari 

2600 and buy something a 

little more stylish, so he went 

and bought himself a Megadrive 

and everything was fine 

until he saw a review in your 

magazine about a certain 

Character called Sonic. 

This changed his life dramatically 

Thanks to you and your 

gang my mate has had his 

hair spiked up and dyed blue 

and keeps on doing forward 

rolls and then jumps up at the 

curtains. trying to rip off the 

rings that hold them up Also, 

instead of his usual chant of 

"Cowabunga

with an electric razor and

DOES SIZE 

REALLY 

MATTER? 

Dear YOB. 

am 13 years old and have a 

32K BBC and a Sega Game 

Gear, both if which I use a 

lot. Ignoring the BBC. there is 

only one thing that irritates 

me • Machines like the Lynx 

and Game Gear are perfectly 

capable of producing excellent 

graphics. but I have yet 

to meet a great deal of 

people who think that having 

a handheld means having a 

proper console. Mostly their 

attitude is: 'Okay, so when 

do you get this console 

then'?" Down my neck of the 

woods, some see it as an expensive 

version of one of 

those Systeme iobbies that 

you can get down at Argos 

for E5.99! 

Ok. so maybe it can run On 

virtually any power source 

you can throw its way and is 

no bigger than a very large 

box of fags. but the Game 

Gear still has 32 on-screen 

colours from a palette of 

4096 (bigger than that of the

• 

•or 

Megadrivel) and totally 

wicked sound (the end tune 

on Shinobi, for instance). 

Does its size alone mean that 

it is too small to be taken seriously" 

Incidentally, do you know of 

any plans to release Sonic 

The Hedgehog on the Game 

Gear (dale if possible, 

please)?

BIRTHDAY BLUES 2 - THE REVENGE 

Dear YOB, 

I have written this letter to you because you are the only hope 

that I have left of getting Shinobi for my Sega Master System. 

You see I have just had a birthday and I was looking forward to 

someone sending me loads of dosh so that I could buy the game 

but, alas, nobody sent me any money. 

I was broken-hearted, but didn't tell my Mum or Dad that was 

disappointed because I didn't want to upset them. They don't 

even know that I've written ihis letter to you. Please, please 

please send me the game, YOB. If you do I will be in your debt 

for eternity because my birthday is the Only chance I have to buy 

games because they are so expensive.

YOB: So you think you're hard done by. eh? All I ever got for 

my birthdays was a clout round the ear and an empty tin of 

sardines - and that was from the postman. Actually, I tell a 

lie: Auntie once bought me a pair of bovver boots, but I was 

too young to tie the laces and crawled around the cot with 

them hanging off my feet. Still, why not look on the bright 

side - if you always get crap presents you'll grow up to be 

just like me - a stingy git who reckons you'll have to grovel a 

lot better than that before you get anything more than an old 

bovver boot up the backside... 

Dear YOB. 

Please could you print this letter for me. Me and my friend entered 

a competition to win a Megadnve and my friend won. Thing 

is, he has already go! a Super Famicom and a Sega Game Gear 

and now he has the Megadrive as well, 

Please, please could you send me a Megadrive. I would be very 

happy it you could send me one as I have not got a console or 

computer, but I am still a big fan of CVG,

every game he plays on any of your machines (20p for new 

titles) and watch that cash roll in! Sad thing is he'll have to

HAPPY 

HANDHELD 

HILARITY 

Dear YOB, 

Seeing as you print letters 

from other countries. I'll expect 

this letter to be printed 

becuase it comes all the way 

from that tropical, foreign 

town of Torquay in Devon, 

Anyway, I have recently sold 

my Amiga and intend to buy 

a hand-held console, so

please could you help by 

answering these questions: 

1. What is the battery life of 

the new Lynx II and is it worth 

getting? 

2. Are there any plans for a 

colour Game Boy? 

3. When will the Lynx II be 

available in the UK and 

where can I get an import 

from? 

4 Taking into account size, 

battery life, graphics, sound, 

value, colour etc, which 

would you recommend out of 

the Game Boy, Game Gear, 

Lynx, Lynx II and the CT" 

Lastly, a month ago someone 

sent you a killer elastic band. 

Well, if you soiled your Yfronts 

over that then wait until 

you see my pet killer bumble 

bee enclosed with this letter'

YOB: 1. Longer than normal.

2. Um, yes. well, maybe... 

3. Now. Anyone who hasn't 

sold out. 

4. Depends what you want 

and how much cash you've 

got to spend, which is probably 

not much if you keep 

sending pathetic plastic 

bumble bees through the 

post and wasting everybody

WHAT A LOAD OF WAFFLE 

Dear YOB.

I have written to you so that you are well informed of your debt to 

my company. As you know fine well (Eh? YOB) I am Mr Tatty, 

the manager of Wafforder, the waffle mail order company in 

Tibet. As soon as we received your cheque we went straight to 

the bank and it bounced When I arrived back at the offices it was 

too late, Mr 'Pigeon Brain" Versatile (one of our workers) had 

sent your order away). 

To log your memory here is what you ordered: 

1. 40 Waffles (special price) - E20 40 

2. Psychedelic Flower-Power Waffles - E25 40 

3. "Are You Trippin Trendy Homeboy" Waffles E35,00

SILLY SQUABBLES DRIVE ME MAD! 

Dear YOB, 

I'm lust writing to say that I hate the way a lot of people who write 

into your Mailbag put down other computers and their friends* 

computers. 

They can't be much of a friend if they have the cheek to write in 

and put down their friend's computer So maybe the Master System 

isn't brilliant but it's a damn sight better than what they've got 

to say

so utterly amazing, why did you upgrade to a Megadrive?

Gehring, you plonker! - YOB) 

Firstly he tells some tripe about having a huge amount of computer 

and console equipment. Then he complains about the price 

of CVG (even though he seems to have enough money to buy 

Fort Knox). After that he bumlicks Ricky Leadbetter and to finish 

it all of he tells us he's a Kylie and Jason fan! 

Secondly. what's happening to Mean Machines? Its becoming 

like Amateur Photographer, what with all those car crash photos.

and soon we had a tip that Stu's pocket money was to be cut. 

Sure enough, the following month Stu*s pocket money was re•

Also, I think Segas are completely crap. because when I went to 

Mr Nintendo's house he showed me a page in crappy Sega 

Power magazine where the whole page was covered in Jokes 

about Nintendo owners, such as • How do you confuse a Nintendo 

owner? Put P.T:0 on both sides of a piece of paper." So 

anyone who has a stupid Sega are absolute dimbos Also. I'd like 

everyone to know that David Flinn and Timothy Thomas are as

give you a sneaky peek inlo just what the three frog-like funsters 

will be getting up to on your Nintendo. Toads away! 

162 

A 

TOADS IN A HOLE... 

Being real party animals, the Toads will travel anywhere to 

have a wild time. And you don't get more remote than Lost 

Vega, the leisure station on the outskirts of the star system. 

Blame it on the booze, blame it on the mesmerising moves of 

the Thallian Thorax Dancer, but the boys stand motionless - in 

awe of the sight before them. 

Only it isn't the dancing which is causing their hypnosis 

but the spells of the evil Dark Queen, disguised as the alien 

groover, Before they get the chance to defend themselves, the 

Dark Queen captures one of the Toads and whisks him off in 

her battleship, the Gargantua, to the planet Armagedda. 

The remaining two Toads, now fully recovered, race to their 

mentor, Professor T Bird, aboard the good ship Vulture. Telling 

him of their buddy's plight, a plan is formulated to fly to Ar- 

Magedda. run the gauntlet of the Dark Queen's fiendish guards 

and the numerous traps she'll no doubt have placed around 

her kingdom and, hopefully, rescue their toad napped pal before 

it's too latel 

TOP TOADIE TROUBLE! 

Battletoads on the NES is a rip-roarin' multi-level blast featuring 

exquisite graphics, plenty of attacking moves including punches 

and kicks (when these moves are activated, the respective 

body parts swell up to massive proportions for a megasmack 

to the chops!) and lots of different, collectable weapons, 

all chucked together with a plethora of different game styles. 

From the first level, a traditional left-right beat 'em up, to 

the second which has the Toads abseiling down a mine shaft 

whilst dealing with an onrush of evil beasties, and beyond to 

such stages as an airbike ride through moving obstacles, the 

'action never stops. This game looks to be one tough cookie to 

crack, but luckily your Toads are equipped with a couple of continues 

to make reptile retrieval a lad less difficult. We reckon 

this is definitely one to look out fort

Carl Its an Atari. complete with tape deck and crap joysticks. 

rye got one just like it at home! 

SO MUCH FOR SO LITTLE! 

Back in 1981, an average computer cost about the same as an 

average computer does these days. However, you got far less 

for your money! Commodore's VIC 20 cost E189.95 (plus 

E44.95 for a cassette deck to load and save stuff), and came 

with a piddling 5k of memory, one-channel sound and 16 colours! 

At the cheap end of the market, the ZX81 was available for only 

E69.95 - but you had to put up with 1 kilobyte of memory. no 

sound and Only 2 colours (black and while)! It you wanted to expand 

the memory, a 16k memory pack was available for a mere 

E49.95! 

In the March '82 issue, the Acorn Dealers Association were offering 

ZX81 owners a E20 trade in on a new Acorn Atom_ This 

piece of advanced computer equipment came with its own typewriter 

keyboard (cod) and double the memory of a ZX81 (yes 

2k!). Acorn supplied ii either in kit form for E140 or if you could 

afford an extra E34 it came ready-built. Of course, if you really 

wanted to throw your money around you could spend E289 on 

the fully expanded 12k machine. Just think - you can get an 

Amiga with 512k for that price now! 

The best computer available at the time was the Atari 400, 

which boasted 1213 colours, 16k of memory and three-channel 

sound! However, it cost a wallet-bustin' £345.00. and you 

needed to buy a E50.00 cassette recorder on top of that!

There've been some good CVG covers and some bad ones. 

but by far the worst was the one which (dis)gr aced the front of 

the October '82 edition. Designed to look like a newspaper 

(complete with "hurnourous" stories which were about as funny 

as having vegetables stuck up your bum), and with the Computer 

and Video Games logo shrunk to miniature proportions. It 

was completely missed by many regular readers who thought 

that it WAS a boring newspaper and sales for that month 

dropped disasterously!

Timothy Boone's first foray into the wild •n' wacky world of publishing 

was in the Feb 1983 issue, when he had one of his spectacular 

type-in creations printed in these hallowed pages. Krazy 

Kong was its name, and it was is- sad Commodore PET version 

of the fourth level of the coin-op. Utilising a full 13k worth uf memory, 

this rip-roaring trouser buster w i t h the type-in 

types and earned our man a sta w a s grand 

-quoth 

Tim, "it worked - and all mTn y e d it." Chuffed by 

, his fame and fortune, Tim followaidepoadth his very own portacross 

to the Spectrum, complet whiffy UDG graphics - 

and CVG printed it again for an ' 1 0 l

A Mario then.... a n d now! 

Jazza Rignall shot to lame in the 1983 National Arcade Championships. 

Having qualified with an unfeasibly large Defender 

score, he blew away the opposition on the "mystery game". Gyruss, 

and won himself a Galaga arcade machine in the process. 

The only thing that marred the day was the fact that he forgot 

his hair gel, and his normal spiky locks dropped into a sad pudding 

basin shambles. Champ? Chump, more like. Jazza faded 

back to relative obscurity before a midnight phone call changed 

his life and the arcade action man discovered he could write as 

well! 

HE CRAPPEST FREE GIFT 

EVER -1r- 

The worst free gift CVG has ever given away must be the tree 

while plastic rod that was stuck on front of issue two. This piece 

of white plastic was "specially designed" to help you when you 

typed in one of the fabulous listings printed inside the mag - just 

stick the rod under the line you're typing in and you'll always remember 

where you are. What a waste of time, space, money 

and natural resources!

This Liverpudlian softco started off in 1982 with Acorn Atom 

conversions of Space Invaders, Galaxians, Lunar Lander. 

Fruit Machine, etc (the classics of the day). then started on 

VIC 20 software. 

VICMEN: A spot-on, unlicensed conversion of PacMan. which 

didn't find much favour with Namco and was promptly taken off 

the market. Bug Byte later went on to produce a stupendous 

ZX81 maze adventure called Mazogs. the first Spectrum game 

on the market. Spectral Invaders (a version of Space Invaders), 

and a lot of lop games for the BBC Micro including 

Twin Kingdom Valley. 

MANIC MINER: Possibly their biggest hit ever, this game disappeared 

from their catalogue when its author decided he could 

make more money if he sold it to Software Projects.

Probably the most famous software flop ever. Their first Spectrum 

release, Arcadia, was a very addictive shoot 'em up but to 

say the quality of the games which followed were "uneven" 

would be an understatement. Schizoids. Frantic, Wacky Waiters, 

Zip Zap and Stonkers were comparitively dungy, but still 

the company hyped up the public with full•page adverts detailing 

what type of sandwiches their programmers/designers/musicians 

ate, and they even got on national television in a news 

piece about the wonder of computer whizz-kids earning loads of 

money for programming games. Of course, because Imagine 

weren't producing many games which were worth buying, the 

whizz•kids weren't earning loads of money for long. In the midst 

of two 'mega game" projects (advertised as Psyclapse and 

Bandersnatch) the company crashed spectacularly and the 

dream of boy programmers becoming computer pop stars was

Ouicksilva were there at the start, with versions of Defender 

and Asteroids for the ZX80 and ZX81 (both "WRITTEN IN MA- 

CHINE CODE TO ENSURE FAST FLICKER-FREE 

GRAPHICS*), They went on to produce two of the first Spectrum 

games. Space Intruders and Meteor Storm (which even 

gargled the words "Meteor Alert!' at the player), as well as 

Time Gate (a 48k 30 space trek which was very big in its day) 

and Ant Attack (stylish arcade adventure set in a city full of 

giant insects), Things went downhill a bit when Ouicksilva 

began branching out into BBC and C64 games. and their parting 

shot was Gryphon, a very pretty 64 game by Tony Crowther 

(who latterly programmed Captive on the Amiga), which 

was bugged to oblivion.

THE NINTENDO GAME 

Whoa, dude? The NES version of Turtles 2 - The Coin-Op is a 

multi-level extravaganza including so many features from the 

original arcade machine you'd swear someone had ripped the 

guts out of your Nintendo and shoved a PCB in its place 

All the moves are there and the characters look as good 

and animate as well as they do in the coin-op - right down to 

the Turtles sliding down the wall after being thrown against ill 

Unfortunately, due to the amount of loypad ports attached to 

the machine by Nintendo, Turtles 2 on the NES can only support 

two-player action, but all four greenbacks are there for the 

choosing - so no-one can complain! 

We reckon Turtles II is coming along marvellously - so 

keep those peepers peeled and look out for the official CVG review 

of a cart which looks a bit special...

THE COMPUTER 

VERSIONS 

As with the original Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles computer 

game (which, incidentally, sold an absolute stack of copies and 

is still in the charts!), Mirrorsoft are releasing the coin-op conversion 

- with all the hard keyboard work being done down 

Croydon way by those bodacious lads at Probe Software. 

Most computer versions of arcade games these days have 

the graphics ported directly across from the original and are 

then touched up using a package such as 0-Paint. With 

Turtles 2 the visuals have been drawn completely freehand 

using photos and video footage from the machine and, although 

memory restrictions have caused a reduction in animation 

frames, the movements of Rat, Leo, Mikey, Donny and 

their enemies are difficult to distinguish from the real thing! 

As far as gameplay is concerned, only the C64 version was 

in a sufficiently playable state to form an opinion. Whilst only 

two Turtles can play at the same time, it is looking very good indeed. 

To find Out whether the other versions - Amiga, ST. 

Spectrum, CPC and PC. come up to scratch, watch for the full 

review in these very pages!

TOADS V TURTLES 

WHICH IS BEST? 

There's no doubt about it - the Toads have moved into Turtle 

territory in a big way, and seem certain to give our pizza 

munching heroes a serious run for their money. But which is 

best? We've seen both games, and whilst it's just too early to 

compare the two we reckon they're both looking pretty darned 

brill, Stay tuned for the ultimate CVG lowdown when we'll put 

these two great games head to head to find out!

POWERMONGER 

Island smashing has never been simpler, thanks to Bullfrog's 

excellent product and this winsome piece of tippery, sent in by 

Andrew Redmile of Sutton Coldfield, in the West Midlands. 

First, kill any army and wait. Soon, the dead men should leave 

behind tons of goodies. The dead captain will leave behind a 

food supply - steal it, then attack a few villages and recruit their 

men, then drop the food supply and eat it (using the drop food 

icon). Now, make another captain, eat some food (near yourself); 

now give the new captain your men and drop food and 

food supply. Make the other captain eat the food (he will have 

a full food bar) and he will do all the dirty work for you!

It's that football management time again, and Anco certainty 

know how to knock 'em Out! Dyfed s Dale Walkinson knows 

how to come up with a cheat for it. too - in fact, here it is now! 

At the beginning of the game, put all of your players on the 

transfer market, After the first game, most of the players will be 

sold, leaving enough dosh to buy an amazing 500+ player (a 

striker is recommended) If in a cup tie it comes to a penalty 

shoot-out, pause the game lust as the player takes his shot. 

You should now be able to see exactly which side of the goal 

he is to put the ball, allowing your player to pull off a dramatic 

save and rescue the match! And the best thing is. this last 

cheat works on Kick Off 1 and 2 as well!!!

WWF makes its debut in the Gameboy chart, with a couple of older 

titles bringing up the rear. The quantity of scores here is pretty 

deceptive - we got loads of scores, but most of them were rather

sad - so get practising and lets have some better attempts next

RAILROAD TYCOON 

MICROPROSE 

The pioneers of the age of the train come to life in Microprose's 

conversion of the;r top PC simulation. Choose to base 

your railroad in either East or West USA, Europe or England 

then, after selecting the appropriate skill levels, begin to build 

that railtrelght system, ensuring that your line makes a profit 

(you don't want to end up in the same boat as BR, do you!) 

and keeping a beady eye on those greedy competitors 

Microprose have done a superb job of converting Railroad 

Tycoon to the Amiga: the original never went overboard on 

presentation, so the graphics are a bit on the basic side, with 

sound effects amazingly similar to those heard on kids' TV 

show Rainbow (during the picture-drawing bit)! Gameplay's the 

important factor with this one - you won't be disappointed.

SILENT SERVIC 

MICROPROSE 

Ar AV AV Ar 

Six years after the original Silent Service submerged Microprose 

in an ocean of awards, the sequel makes its way onto 

Amiga screens. Converted from the PC. Silent Service II 

doesn't wildly differ from its parent in terms of playability - perhaps 

not surprisingly; after all, there aren't that many differences 

between World War II submarines_ Where the big changes 

lie are in the updated graphics, some of which are digitised. 

and the inclusion of new missions and a campaign option_ If 

you don't already possess the original, this is one game which 

simulation buffs should watch Out for; if the original Silent Ser• 

vice is already propping up your software collection though, 

give the sequel a blast before purchasing 'cos this may be just 

too similar for your liking.

ATHLETICS 

HAWK 

Well, the athletics season is over for another year, but if you 

crave for a spot of track and field on computer, why not take a 

look at International Championship Athletics, with its cornucopia 

of events including sprints, high and long jumps. javelin 

and hammer throwing, to name but a few? 

I'll tell you why. Because it's a pile of old - no, I can't use 

that word in these pages. This is one BAD piece of software. 

with some of the most embarrassing graphics ever witnessed. 

The commentator looks like a hideously deformed Trigger from 

Only Fools and Horses, the crowd look like undead Kevin Keegan 

clones and as for everything else? Don't ask. And certainly 

don't buy.

DOMARK 

Dubbed "The Ultimate Sports Compilation". Domark's latest 

boxed set features a quartet of oldies, goodies and a bad, bad. 

baddy. World Class Leaderboard. Pro Tennis Tour and Continental 

Circus are the classy titles - fine examples of their respective 

genres. And to satisfy the "big names sell games" section 

of the software-buying public, Gazza's Super Soccer is 

thrown in for good measure. Nice license - pity it was wasted 

on such a crabby game. 

Still, that's the only bad apple in the bag. The rest of the 

compilation is a jolly yarn and should keep people in front of 

their screens for a fay old time.

F15 STRIKE EAGLE II 

MICROPROSE 0 4 . 9 9 

Leap into the cockpit of the world's premier fighter jet and 

take to the skies over a number of hostile countries in this, the 

sequel to the top flight combat sim of bygone times 

Converted from the PC, this version of F15 II has managed 

to retain all of the original features and, more importantly, the 

feel which made players gasp • it's a cross between a simulator 

and a shoot 'em up, with all the graphical excellence which 

you associate with Microprose products yet a noticeable lack 

of keys to wrestle with just to get off the ground. If I were you, 

I'd snap up this particular little gem straightaway.

- 

THE FINAL RUN 

THALAMUS E25.99 

Generally regarded as the best ever shoot 'em up to appear 

on the C64, Armalyte has been updated. tweaked and 

prodded and carted over to the 16-bits. Enter the Forbidden 

Zone and blast a trail through five tortuous levels of death. destruction 

and many weapons, 

Thalamus could have made a treat of a game out of Armalyte, 

but instead have chickened out and opted for a weak interpretation 

of the original. Graphically no great shakes. the biggest 

gripe is that the gameplay is simply too average to make 

Armalyte stand Out from the wealth of shoot 'em ups which 

have launched onto the market recently.

DOMARK E 2 9 . 9 9 

All you sporty types listen up: Domark have knocked 

together a compilation of four of the best known sports games 

around - but what's it like? 

Three of the games are actually a bit smart Continental Circus 

is a Grand Prix racer, and a very playable one at that • with 

good-looking graphics to boot. Pro Tennis Tour is one of the 

few tennis Sims available for the ST and probably the best one 

around, whilst World Class Leaderboard isn't exactly the best 

golf game doing the rounds but, as an arcade-style 18-holer in 

a compilation, you can't really go wrong 

The only one not worth the effort is Gazza's Super Soccer. 

A wasted license the first time around, the game has deteriorated 

even further with age. Forget about that one and plump 

for the other three.

SHINOBI 

MASTERTRONIC E 7 . 9 9 

Joe Mushashi, manager of the Mille Training Academy. is 

in a bit of a tizzy. His pupils have all been taken prisoner and 

he must go off in search of them before their parents discover 

his inability to look after their sons and take them to some 

other school. What follows is a multi-level beat 'em up in which 

Joe goes up against the kidnappers using fists, feet and a host 

of ninja armaments. 

Unlike the high 

issue. - ST Shinobi is a bit of a sad attempt. featuring jerky 

sprites quality and watered-down gameplay. It's not a bad buy at 

E7.99.

Winning in a no-win situation isn't something which happens every

lookalike to loin the ever 

growing list of world simulators. 

So what's this one 

got which the others 

i haven't? Not a lot, as it happens 

- but it does most 

things a whole lot better 

than its competitors. The 

social side of Utopia is a 

good example - annoy the colonists by mucking around 

with taxes, making them homeless or simply not clearing 

up the debris after a building has been demolished and 

they're likely to make sure you know exactly how they 

feel by striking and hitting the spot where it hurts mostin 

the pocket. So many random events occur that the 

game is different each time you play. Eclipses render 

solar panels useless, knocking out power to the entire 

colony and leaving the population wide open to attack 

unless you've remembered to build power stores.Terrorists 

infiltrate the system and blowing up your most important 

buildings etc etc. There are some great graphics 

touches, but the biggest pull for me is the deep yet simple 

gameptay which had me engrossed for hours. Utopia is 

a title I'll certainly be returning to, simply because of its 

ease of play and massive possibilities.

REVIEW 

PC £34.99 

BY US GOLD 

It is the year 2029. The rebels have been fighting a five-year battle 

I against the machines of Skynet - a mutation of the defence computer 

network of the late Twentieth Century. Skynet had got smart: 

instead of doing the bidding of its controllers, it decided that the 

greatest threat to the world was the human race and has almost 

wiped it out completely with the thousands of megatons of nuclear 

weaponry under its control. Humanity would have been doomed to 

extinction, were it not for one man - John Connor, leader of the resistance, 

who took on Skynet and smashed it. 

The machine had Only one chance for survival. It would be pointless 

to destroy Connor now: he'd won. The only option would be to 

send a Cyberdyne Systems 1-800 Terminator - half-man, half-machine, 

virtually indestructable and extremely dangerous - back to 

1984 using the Time Displacement equipment to destroy Connor 

before he is even conceived, by terminating the mother. 

Thanks to excellent intelligence, the rebels hear of Skynet s 

plans and send one of their top warriors, Kyle Reese, through time 

to protect Connors mother, Sarah, whilst attempting to terminate 

the Terminator. It won't be easy, using the primitive weapons which 

1980's Los Angeles has to offer, but this is a mission which one 

man must accomplish if mankind is to survive.

After seven years of people 

like myself harping on 

, about it, US Gold finally 

,• rights and produced a game 

as gripping as the movie itself! 

This is one hell of a big 

title, containing numerous 

playing possibilities as well 

as enough violence to satis- 

fy even the most discerning Arnie fan. Polygons portray 

the action to great effect and, even though the frame rate 

can become desperately sluggish at times, the detail can 

be altered to give the proceedings that bit more of a 

boost. The option of playing either Reese or Arnie is an 

inspired one, creating two clear forms of play, and the 

amount of items to find, weapons to fire and people to kill 

is more than adequate. At times, Terminator can be a bit 

of a drag - in the early stages of the game it's difficult 

to figure out just what you're supposed to do and how to 

do it - mainly due to a lousy instruction manual - but 

spend some time at the machine and everything becomes 

crystal clear, Pacifists, steer well clear of The Terminator, 

a sprawling epic definitely not for the weak of stomach!

YOUR CLOTHES - 

GIVE THEM TO ME 

The Terminator gives the player the best of both worlds - the option 

of playing either Reese or Arnie! Each character obviously 

has differing objectives. Whilst Kyle must find and protect Sarah 

Connor, the Terminator needs to kill her along with anyone who 

stands in Its way. With a pair of PCs linked together via a serial 

cable, two players can take part in the game at the same time - 

one as Reese and the other as the T-800 - for a true 

multi-player experience! 

NOTHING CLEAN RIGHT IP 

'No matter whether you're Reese or the T-800. you can get 

around LA a lot faster by finding a four-wheeled, alloy-constructed 

transportation device - a car to non-cyborgs! 

There are two types of automobile available in Terminator - manual 

and automatic - and both reach a speed of 66mphl Be 

careful when you're hurtling around the town, boy-racer style, 

though; your mirror-mounted fluffy dice may get in your way, 

block your sight and cause you to smash right into a building. 

Well, it is the 1980s you know! 

I'LL BE BACK 

For the benefit of those unitiated few, the movie The Terminator, 

by Aliens/Abyss director James Cameron, was released in 

1984. Costing $7,000,000 • a pittance compared to the big-budget 

Rambo/Rocky Stallone extravaganzas of the same era • 

The Terminator was the ideal vehicle for the movie's two stars, 

hitherto-unknown actress Linda Hamilton (whose previous work 

included a part in the dire chiller, Children Of The Corn) and 

one-time Mr Universe, dabbler in one or two film projects and incredibly 

large Austrian, Arnold Schwarzenegger. 

Both went on to better things thanks to the success of Terminator, 

Hamilton taking the starring role in hit American TV series 

Beauty And The Beast, whilst Schwarzenegger's credits hardly 

need mentioning: Commando, Predator, Red Heat, Twins and 

Kindergarten Cop to name just a few. Earlier this year the two 

came together again in Terminator 2 - Judgement Day, a sequel 

which took seven years to appear and cost more than any 

other film to produce • over $100000000. 

Described by one movie critic as "the most spectacular sci-fi 

ride ever", Terminator 2 became the highest-grossing cinematic 

production of all time, earned Arnie • who switched from baddie 

to goodie • $15,000,000 and a private plane, and managed to 

blag itself a 15 certificate despite various neck-skewering 

scenes and a particularly disturbing nuclear war sequence. If 

you haven't yet seen this, possibly the greatest film ever, 

then you don't deserve to have eyes...

as possible, and it works very well. Playing Reese (although 

I'd rather be Arnie!) you really do get the sense 

that the T-800 Is "out there" and ready to pounce. You're 

conscious of the clock slowly clicking down to Doomsday 

and rush around likea blue-bottomed fly trying to find 

Sarah Connor and not shoot the wrong people. Minor 

niggles include the slightly weird on-screen 3D, which 

occasionally goes completely haywire, and the fact that 

Sarah Connor can become such a pain in the butt you

Y ou r e terminated, me old mucker! Having recovered from 

our three-page PC Terminator review, just run your 

peepers over this incredible preview of the Megadrive game of 

the film! Have we got the goods or what? 

As you'll quickly discover, the two games are completely different 

and published by completely different software houses, 

and both of them look totally bloomin' brill. Anyway, here's 

Arnie lookalike PAUL RAND to tell you all about Virgin's mega 

Megadrive cart. Take it away, muscles... 

Seven years after Seargent Kyle Reese saved the life of Sarah 

Connor and halted the destruction of the entire human race in 

James Cameron's classic Terminator, Virgin have picked up 

the rights to produce the game on Sega Megadrive. 

For a movie which, dollar for dollar, made around twelve 

times more than it cost to produce, as well as rocketing Mr Biceps 

to the top, it's taken a long time to make it to the consoles. 

After this long wait it had better be good...

plot of the film closely So closely, in fact, that the main character 

is not Arnie. The player controls Reese throughout the 

game, with the Terminator making regular cameo appearances. 

The action actually starts before the point at which the film 

began. Level one sees Reese in the year 2029, carrying Out 

his orders to destroy the Time Displacement Equipment used 

by the Terminator to travel back in time to the year 1984, and

Top of both the Amiga chart and the ST chart 

this month is the brilliant Jimmy White's 

Snooker. It looks like this game is going to run 

and run. The newie this month is Silent Service 

2 doing well at Number 3. The biggest surprise 

this month, is the sudden demise of Cruise For 

A Corpse, slipping from the top spot to Number 

4.

about the only good Pinball game available for

THE SAMURAI STORY 

t 

Hundreds e of years ago in fuedal Japan a young warrior 

h 

trained under r the watchful eye of his Samurai master, His 

e strength, skill and courage were incredible and it wasn't long 

bbefore 

his etalents 

as a fighter superseded that Of his mentor 

iBut 

he was _rash, 

and his master began to train him in the ways 

gof 

Buda. the martial code and the importance of honour 

gStrange 

times _ were these, magic and mystery stilt hung like a 

edark 

shadow . over the land of the rising sun... 

s An evil magician, intent on conquering the land, killed our 

. 

1young 

warrior's master in a bloody and terrible battle. The evil 

wizard then - tried to kill the young apprentice, but his prayers 

were answered and ancient Shinto gods hurtled the evil wizard 

into the distant • future. The 21st century. The Samurai, now 

masterless, - became a Ronin. A samurai with no leader and no 

incentive other than money and rage He followed the dark 

magician to . the future, seeking revenge in a land he could not 

understand...

GET YOUR SWORD OUT! v 

At first glance, first Samuri looks slightly similar to arcade 

classic rStrider, and as you can see from these screenshots the 

graphics are looking absolutely brill! 

The action scrolls in four directions and takes place in all 

kinds of terrain, Starting oil in the Japanese countryside. you 

eventually make your way to the city for the final showdown 

with the dark wizard dude. 

Your sword-swingin samurai can perform all manner of 

neat tricks, including a handy reverse backswing He can pick 

up weapons to aid him along the way and on occasion call up 

a good wizard to help things along. 

If this was just a jumping slashfest it would be a potentially 

brilliant game, but First Samurai is a whole lot more. There are 

tons of puzzles to solve and lots of problems to be overcome. 

Strategy plays almost as big a part as the excellent violence involved. 

Look Out for this one before Christmas, 'cos that's 

when it'll be doing its thing.

on how good you are at whacking a high-velocity, furry ball 

with a piece of rounded wood. With a choice of competing in 

either exhibition matches or an entire Grand Slam tournament. 

you can either go for gold or glory - there

rather stiff and stilted in these screenshots but get them moving 

and they really are something else A unique feature of Advantage 

Tennis is computer-assisted playability, which means 

that if you don't make a move, the computer will do it tor you'
