Lama 

The consoles war is hotting up! Looking like something out of a 

science fiction movie, the PC Engine Super Grafx is released in 

Japan at the end of this month. Just how good is this latest super 

console? Julian Rignall has the story... 

1111111116, - 

INSIDE THE BEAST M 

The PC Engine Super Gralx is a stun- 

I 

a piece of high-tech military gadgetry. 

And beneath its rugged exterior N beats 

a mighty heart. E 

ning-looking machine which resembles 

The machine uses a similar processor 

to the normal Engine, but has the 

addition of special video and blitterstyle 

chips to shift sprite data around 

very quickly, allowing up to 128 sprites 

to appear on-screen simultaneously, 

compared with the Engine's 64. 

The sound chip is the same as the 

Engine, but since Super Grab( cartridges 

feature more memory than their 

PC Engine counterparts, there will be 

much more room for sampled sounds 

and speech. 

A Airborne blasting thrills! 

THE GAMES 

First arid foremost, the PC Engine SG 

is compatible with all existing PC Engine 

titles, a feature that has become 

increasingly important in the design of 

new consoles, as it gives the user an 

instant games library while newer titles 

are developed. 

There are details of only three SG 

games at the moment, a conversion of 

Capcom's Ghouls 'n• Ghosts (which 

looks as good as, if not better than the 

Megadrive version), an amazing Rastan-style 

arcade adventure, and a stunning 

3D flying game that looks similar 

to Lock-On. The latter two have untranslatable 

Japanese names. 

Reports state that there are another 

seven games currently being developed. 

THE WHOPPER 

ADD-ON 

An incredible piece of hardware that is 

being released simultaneously with the 

Engine SG is the Power Console, a 

control unit which makes the Konix 

Multisystem look very ill indeed. It fea- 

A The new console in all it's glory. 

tures a full steering yoke, rather like 

the controls on the Star Wars arcade 

games, complete with top-mounted fire 

buttons, a gear stick/throttle, an LCD 

clock/timer, an LED radar-type display, 

a numeric keypad, and a plethora of 

buttons and knobs! The Engine SG 

slips neatly inside it, and once installed. 

you've got a control system 

that a 747 pilot would be jealous of! 

V The Power Console - how's 

THAT for a joystick?

WHAT ABOUT THE 

ENGINE? 

The immediate thought is that PC Engine 

software will dry up when the SG 

is released. Rubbish! With over 1.9 million 

Engine users in Japan alone, the 

American version of the Engine, the 

TurboGrafx just released, and a European 

version on the way (rumours currently 

state that it'll be available by 

autumn 1990), there's going to loads 

of new Engine games. What's more 

than likely to happen is that games will 

appear on both systems, with the SG 

game being a very enhanced version 

of the normal PC Engine title. 

IN CONCLUSION 

The Engine SG is a brilliant new machine, 

especially when you take into 

account the amazing Power Console. 

PC Engine titles already hold their own 

when compared with games on other 

systems - with its extra chips, SG 

games should be simply stunning! 

WHEN AND WHERE 

The PC Engine is yet to be officially released 

in Britain, so the PC Engine SG 

is a long way off appearing. The release 

date in Japan is later on this 

month and it'll retail at just under E180 - 

if things go the same way as they did 

with the Engine, you'll probably be 

able to buy modified imported versions 

early in the new year for around E250•••

The lads did creditably on the Amstrad 

conversion of Forgotten Worlds too, 

and were Only stymied by the ST version 

of Loriciel's Turbo Cup. which 

only Julian had played before (a year 

ago!). 

THE RESULTS 

But luck and a following wind were on 

our side. With sterling performances all 

round, the team took first place, followed 

by the French (sponsored by Tilt 

magazine) and then the Spanish team 

(sponsored by Micromania magazine). 

Our boys won 3000 francs (about 

300) each. and Julian would have 

taken the prize for "Best Player of the 

Tournament" (about 500) had he been 

.02 of a second faster in Turbo Cup. 

Tchaah! Still, that leaves him something 

to set his sights on for next year's 

competition, which will be held at the

next Autumn!

cable-cutting ghosts, while 

swinging him left and right to collect 

three bits of a goop scoop, 

as well as extra weapon supplies 

and courage elixir from ledges 

on the side of the shaft. The 

prospect of getting a man on a

Having analysed the slime the 

Ghostbusters have found it sensitive 

to emotional energy. so 

they decide the only way to rid 

the streets of spooks is to use 

positively-charged slime to animate 

the Statue of Liberty, then 

rally a crowd of happy New Yorkers 

behind them and draw 

power from their positive vibes. 

This part of the game takes the 

form of an unusual sidewaysscrolling 

shoot 'em up with Miss 

Liberty leading some dinky 

citizen-sprites on the left of the 

screen, and swarms of slirriers 

and spooks flying on from the 

light. The statue's torch draws 

on a supply of good slime to produce 

joystick-controlled fireballs 

which you can use to shoot 

down the encroaching swarms 

of phantoms. Blasted phantoms 

drop slime to the streets, which

PRICEY CREDITS 

Dear YOB, 

I'll get straight to the point - 

has anybody noticed the 

price of arcade machines lately? 

For example, I was in an arcade 

the other week and I 

was happily playing on 

Chase HQ and ran out of 

time. I delved into my trouser 

pocket and felt around (000er). 

To my shock I had ran 

out of money. To be exact I 

had gone through 20 and I 

had only been there for half 

an hour! (And before you 

start getting ideas it wasn't 

because I was crap at everything.) 

I realise that the sophistication 

and technology of these 

machines is very great and 

they must cost an enormous 

amount of money, but perhaps 

the arcade owners 

could have a system where, 

when they have a new machine, 

make people pay

about 50p a go until the machine 

has paid for itself (twice 

if they want) and then lower 

the price to around 20-30p a 

go. This would certainly 

please me because I am very 

poor (and no remarks about 

the stamp being 2nd class 

please) and I'm pretty sure it 

will be easier on everybody 

else's pockets too. 

Yours poorly, 

Big Balls Barry Bedale, N 

Yorks, 

YOB: Although your sentiments 

on machine pricing 

are sound, unfortunately a 

thing called money-grabbing 

capitalism stands between 

the arcade owner 

and him pleasing you. After 

all, given the choice between 

earning loadsamoney 

and pleasing some 

spotty oik, I'm sure you'd 

go for the dosh. And as for 

spending 20 in half an 

hour, I'm sorry to say and 

sad to report that you really 

0 7 

must be a pretty rubbish gamesplayer. 

EVERYBODY NEEDS 

GOOD NEIGH-BORES 

Dear YOB, 

If you don't mind, please may 

I take the utter p*ss out of 

Gail Robinson in Neighbours. 

In the episode on Monday, 

24th of July. Gail was playing 

Frogger on her computer at 

work. While playing she was 

pressing buttons at random, 

and generally taking yonks to 

get across the road bit. When 

she did she said to Paul "I've 

got to get across the logs; I 

don't think I'll do it". 

Paul does it for her in 

0.00023 micro seconds, then 

both decide to have a contest 

on the game. Why oh why do 

people on TV still talk about 

'those ugly Space Invader 

machines' and "Pole Position". 

When will people eventually 

realise that games have 

developed drastically and 

teenagers play games like 

Hard Drivin' not bloody Frogger. 

James Oliver, Nuffield, Surrey. 

YOB: Too flippin' right. It 

seems there's mass Ignorance 

about computer 

games in the generation 

above us. What really 

cheeses me of, though, is 

that not only does the BBC 

still wheel out crummy old 

Acorn Micros at the first 

available opportunity, but 

there's no telly program for 

computer games. After all, 

it's the Ideal media to show 

of/ graphics and sound. 

dael 

And It's a proven fact that 

playing computer games is 

the second most popular 

pastime after watching the 

television. Channel Four 

shows obscure *Dance on 

Four" programmes (usually 

four twerps from the Lambeth 

Inner City Dance 

School doing Swan Lake in 

Dr Martens accompanied 

by tone deaf musicians on 

dustbins) - how many 

people watch that, compared 

with the potential 

audience of a decent computer 

programme? Write in 

and let your feelings 

known... 

OU EST LA MACHINE? 

Dear YOB, 

I am writing to you to see if 

you can help me. It is about 

two of my all-time favourite arcade 

games: Dragon's Lair 

which I have not played in 4 

years, and Super Don Quixote, 

2 years_ Please could 

you tell me where in England

I could find these amazing 

games. I've tried Scarborough, 

Whitby, Redcar, Blackpool 

and Alton Towers, with 

no luck. Also could you tell 

me how much they both cost 

as complete machines and 

where I can get them from. 

Michael Pearson, Saltburn, 

Cleveland. 

YOB: Jazza, arcade guru of 

the western world reliably 

informs me that there's a 

Dragon's Lair machine in 

one of the arcades in his 

home town of Southend. 

As for Super Don Quixote - 

its very, very unlikely 

you'll find one anywhere. 

And don't even think about 

buying a laser disk arcade 

machine they're very unreliable 

and are incredible difficult 

to maintain. 

I SAW._ 

Dear YOB, 

I have developed an incredible 

technique to create 

two computers from one!! 

Simply take a good. sharp 

chainsaw and slice all the 

bits in your computer in two! 

Then reassemble and voila - 

two computers for the price of 

one!! 

B Firth, Stevenage Herts. 

YOB: What a great trick! 

Try it out on your head and 

see if you get similar results- 

but make sure you 

have adult supervision. 

DUTCH CHEESE 

Dear YOB. 

The first part of my letter is 

about the Dutch jerk who 

calls himself Marco Van 

Basten from somewhere 

called DPSF. He reckons 

were stupid having Big 

Screen and AGM (which 

have now been got rid of). 

However, he is the stupid one 

because he is a software pirate. 

And he also claims he's 

putting them on British 

shelves. It's completely pointless 

because all he can do is 

get caught eventually. So 

next time he writes send him 

a few hand grenades and get 

a mechanism so when he 

opens the parcel, the pins are 

pulled out. KABOOMI No 

more Dutch pirate. 

John Gibson, Newcastle. 

YOB: How apt. As I've always 

said, computer pirates 

are the rancid skid 

marks in the Y-Fronts of 

the computer industry. 

AN ARTISTE 

Dear YOB, 

The drawing of the man writing 

Mail Bag on the wall is so 

crap. His body is all out of 

proportion and if he's just written 

Mail Bag then why is his 

pen still on the letter B? 

I think I could do a lot better, 

so I've drawn a man for you 

to use. 

Joss Maines, Marl brough, 

YOB: What an artistic genius. 

Straight from the famous 

East Cheam County 

Primary School of painting 

if I'm not mistaken. 

WHAT'S BEST? 

Dear YOB, 

I am hoping to purchase a 

console in the very near future 

and would like some advice 

about the Sega Megadrive 

and the PC Engine. 

Which one is technically superior. 

and which has better 

long-term prospects? 

I am extremely grateful for 

your help. 

Y Tsang, Slough, Berks. 

YOB: For the answers to all 

your questions and more, 

just read the C+VG Complete 

Guide to Consoles 

Book, out in the newsagents 

now priced only 2.95. 

CHEAT OR NOT? 

Dear YOB, 

I am a loyal ST owner and 

C+VG reader. Recently I was 

reading the high score page 

in your brilliant mag and 

came across the high score 

for Robocop. Thinking I could 

beat this I began to play my 

copy of the blockbuster 

game. But to my anger I 

could not beat the high score, 

not to my own lack of skill but 

to the conclusion that the per- 

son with the high score in 

question is not telling the 

truth_ Shock! Horror! I hear 

you say but on my own evidence 

I have found this to be 

true. It is impossible to 

achieve such a score without 

the use of some sort of cheat. 

Trying every possible means 

of beating this score I still 

came 40,000 points short of 

Robocop's score on completing 

the game. 

Please deal with this person 

in the appropriate manner. 

Sam, Belfast. 

YOB: The way to get a 

score that high on Robocop 

is to blast as many baddies 

as possible within the 

time limit. You can get 

scores that high - you'll 

just have to practice. matey. 

LET'S MAKE LOTS OF 

MONEY 

Dear YOB, 

Please can you tell me what I 

have to do to make a lot of 

money like a computer wizzkid. 

No name supplied. 

YOB: Easy, write a completely 

brilliant game that 

sells loads of copies. 

NO CHANCE 

Dear Yobby-Poos, 

Please could you have a 

quiet word with your comrade 

Julian Rignall and talk him 

into giving me his PC Engine 

as I don't feel inclined to fork 

out the spondoolicks for a 

brand new one. If you don't I 

might come round and accidentally 

snip off his hippy. 

style hair!!! 

Simon Bailey, Barnehurst, 

Kent. 

YOB: Go forth and multiply 

was Julian's succinct 

answer. 

A XENON STAR 

Dear YOB, 

On Wednesday lith. at precisely 

5:30, my house was finally 

at rest, I nervously 

moved towards the computer 

to insert the fatal disk. This 

time, there were to be no interruptions, 

this time the Xenites 

were going to die. As it 

turned Out, everything went 

exactly to plan. I even had 

four lives by the time I came 

to the last end of level guardian. 

I was cool, confident and 

collected. Billy Joel's latest 

song blared loudly in the 

background and the final confrontation 

began. 

It was a piece of cake: he 

had no defence against three 

lasers, bullets that were bigger 

than my ship, two shields 

and enough power-ups to 

supply the National Grid. In 

fact, my armoury was so big I 

felt sorry for him. 

Well, the reason I'm writing is 

because I want to see if I am 

the first person to finish 

Xenon II. Or if not, how many 

came before me. 

Jonathan Khan, Broxboume, 

Herts, 

YOB: Sorry to disappoint 

you, but you're the 1.537th 

person to finish the game. 

Make sure you're quicker 

next time.

WET NANCY GIRLIE 

Dear YOB, 

I am a cool rock hard high flying 

guy! And if anybody 

messes with me I will break 

their ankles with a pair of Doc 

Martens, so send me a 

C+VG T-Shirt or else. 

Steven Moon. Liverpool, 

YOB: Cool? Rock hard? I 

bet you wear pink slippers 

with fluffy pom-poms and 

listen to Bros, you big wet 

girlie nancy. 

WRESTLIN" SPEC- 

TRUM 

Dear YOB, 

I own a pretty pathetic Speccy. 

But I love wrestling so 

could you give me a list of 

wrestling games available for 

it and how good or bad they 

are. Are there any plans to 

convert the coin-op Main 

Event, as I think its dead 

cool. 

Hulk Hogan, Shrewsbury. 

YOB: As far as I know 

there's no conversions of 

Main Event coming on any 

machines. Tough. 

PENNY WISE... 

Dear YOB, 

I went Out and bought an arcade 

yesterday, cos it will be 

a darn sight cheaper than 

buying all the inferior, crap 

coin-op licences coming out 

at Christmas! 

Mark "The Owner Of A Brand 

Spanking New Arcade" W. 

Keston, Kent.

YOB: Well, what a right festering

about this sort of person is 

their immense self-importance. 

They think they're so

their mindless antics require

put to Julian Rignall. How in 

Yob's name can he clock up 

a score of 12.670.000 on Nintendo's 

Gradius when it only 

goes up to 9,999,990? Was it 

just a mistake and you meant 

1.267,000? If so I am bloody 

annoyed as I spent 8 hours 

clocking up the highest 

possible score. I had over 90 

lives left, only to find that the 

score returned to zero. 

If JR arrived at the score by 

clocking the top score and 

then getting another 

2,670.000 then this can't really 

be called 12,670.000 because 

this cannot be displayed. 

If you did make a mistake 

with the score then 

please make me the no,1 slot 

in the legendary high score 

table. 

Asia Walker, Chesterfield, 

Derby. 

YOB: What a flippin' div. 

Its called going round the 

clock - just because a machine 

can't register scores 

of over ten million doesn't 

mean it's impossible to 

score over that, does it? 

It's just a simple case of addition 

you dummy... 

MORE SILLINESS 

Dear YOB, 

I'd just like to give a subtle 

telling off to all those "My 

Amiga is better than your 

ZX81 any day" people who insist 

on slagging off their nearest 

rival (ie ST and Amigas, 

C64s and Spectrums. ZX81's 

arid Acorn Atoms, etc). Don't 

bother lads! There's one computer 

that really finishes you 

lot off (and it's not the Ukshi 

4.000,000 bit 75,000,000 

megabytes computer either). 

It's the DRAGON 32! I bought 

it way back in 1984 and it's 

had to be repaired once in 

five years. Not bad for a John 

Menzies display model! And 

don't laugh at me either. 

Within two years I'd bought a 

Spectrum and frankly. I don't 

know why I bothered. Most 

games (I only had about ten) 

on the Dragon were played 

for hours on end, yet on the 

damn Speccy (and more recently 

my uncle's ST) I spend 

more time loading in the 

game (from over a hundred) 

than playing it. Come on you 

lot! Graphics and sound don't 

count for everything you 

know. 

Besides, the trouble that 

Spectrum caused me is NOT 

worth talking about. The Dragon 

has used two tape recorders 

in five years (my 

Grandad uses it now), the 

damn Spectrum at least four. 

Within two months of having 

it I had to send it back (twice) 

and after a paltry year it had 

to be repaired. 

To say the Dragon's a tough 

customer is an understatement. 

The poor thing's 

been on for at least ninety 

weeks out of the last hundred 

(my Grandad rarely turns it 

off) and nothing has happened 

to it yet (the repair was 

done beforehand). When I 

look at that poor. labouring 

beast it drives me so mad to 

think of all these wonderful 

16 bit computers receiving so 

much unworthy praise. Performance 

beats looks any day! 

Nicholas Peers, Powys. 

YOB: I can't really think of 

anything to say, as it would 

be like kicking a poor defenceless 

blind cripple 

while he's down. 

PLACCY PAGES 

Dear YOB, 

The other day I was reading 

your section and I was so 

busy reading it I accidentally 

knocked my tea all over my 

mag. So please please make 

your section waterproof. Also 

I think C+VG is cool. 

Kieran Ginty, BFPO 140 

YOB: My section is bogey 

proof, shock proof, 

smudge proof, and your 

finger doesn't go through 

when you wipe your bot on 

it. What more do you want? 

INTERESTING 

Dear YOB. 

The other day I found a 

sweaty sock behind the 

fridge. I discovered it was 

soaking wet and, after some 

clever thinking, remembered 

that's where I'd been keeping 

my ice block collection. 

I then deduced, it wasn't a 

brilliant idea to leave a stick 

of lighted dynamite in my 

brother's school bag. Even

though he'd deliberately killed 

my pet woodlouse. I poisoned 

his tortoise instead, 

By the way. I got 1,345,000 

on Out Run while blindfolded 

and hopping on one leg. Is 

this a record? Also I have a 

tip for your tips section. If you 

get totally p****d off with your 

computer games just pour petrol 

on them and set them 

alight! Plus an added bonus_ 

It works with any game! Now 

after that mega tip I have got 

some questions for you. I 

have recently bought a PC 

Engine CD Rom. If I put two 

slices of white bread in it with 

a tasty filling would it toast 

them? Please answer this 

question because our toasted 

sandwich maker is broken 

and we can't afford another 

one after shelling out nearly 

200 for a PC Engine (excluding 

the price of the CD Rom). 

Also, if I spread strawberry 

jam on all my Sega games 

(preferably Robinsons) can I 

play them on my PC Engine?

YODA AND DARTH 

STRIKE BACK 

Dear Uncle Travelling Mat, 

Yo-Ho-Ho! Merry Christmas 

to one and all! May your 

stockings be happy and full 

(like Yoda's). Mind you, it 

does seem rather odd writing 

this letter in the middle of a 

heat wave - just to get it 

printed for your December 

issue. We would like to add 

our support to your strong 

views on piracy. Pirates 

cause nothing but trouble 

(Blackbeard was always a 

nasty piece of work). We 

used to copy Aquarius software 

for seven people 

around the world until my 

friend's dog was captured by 

the police and subjected to 

hours of vicious torture We 

believe that there would be 

no piracy if they could see 

what the police could do to a 

dog with a pair of oven 

gloves and a fishfinger 

We think you will be excited 

to learn that our Space Invaders 

game has been 

signed over to Code Masters 

under the title of Space Invaders 

Simulator (original, 

eh?) and its sales should 

make us into millionaires (according 

to David Darling). Richard 

Darling may look like a 

total donkey, but after he had 

seen our game he was 

quoted as saying "WOW! 

AMAZING! What a brilliant 

game! The programmers 

must have been working on 

this one for decades! Wonderful! 

Wonderful! This game features 

more levels than I have 

pairs of Y-Fronts (three) !" 

We think he liked it... 

Perhaps we could take this 

opportunity to thank you for 

the splendid hologram you 

saw fit to attach to the front of 

October's issue. However, 

Yoda and I think we will need 

193 more to cover our Christmas 

turkey this year (either 

that or an extremely small turkey). 

Perhaps you could attach 

a packet of Paxo to next 

months issue...? 

So, once again we'll sign off 

with a stinking stonking 

spanking banking "Goodbye"! 

Darth Vader & Yoda of TAC 

(The Aquarius Club) 

YOB: What cer-azee loons, 

and we're not talking giant 

bottom-flapping purple 

trousers that our mums 

and dads used to go to 

Woodstock in. Write again 

soon and make me giggle. 

Have a special YOB prize of 

one hundred pounds worth 

of software for being very 

entertaining. 

NINA SPOTTING 

Dear Yob, 

Come, come Grasshopper is 

what you said in the October 

issue answering a letter from 

Paul Halifax. When you say 

Grasshopper, associating it 

with martial arts would make 

you think of China, but Ninjutsu 

comes from Japan and 

when you say kung-fu as in 

unarmed combat that is 

wrong. Unarmed combat in 

Ninjutsu is called Yaiiutsu 

and sword fighting is Kenjutsu. 

Ninjutsu splits up into 

many different skills such as 

Shinobi which means stealth 

walking, Bojutsu in which a 

ninja trains with a stick about 

4 feet long. There are many 

more skills of Ninjutsu and 

when, in the arcade game 

Shinobi, when you do ninia 

magic you are supposed to 

be doing kugi kin i which is riot 

a spectacular feat but a form 

of meditation in which the 

ninja makes signs with his 

hand. Doing this he centres 

his strength on the meaning 

of the sign. There are five 

signs: earth, wind, fire, water 

and void. With combinations 

of these signs the ninja puts 

himself in different mental 

modes. 

I thought I would also mention 

that female ninjas are 

called Kanoichi and use their 

charm and small frames to 

their full capabilities. 

Alex Walker the Koja Ninja 

Oh dear. We've now sunk 

to the martial arts equivalent 

of train spotting. Does 

anyone really give a flying 

fig whether the sprite onscreen 

is doing ninjutsu, 

karate or chop suey? It's 

Just a game, after all. The 

subject of kung-fu ninja karate 

mateys is now well and 

truly closed. 

I'VE GOT A GAME 

Dear YOB, 

I've just finished writing a 

computer game on the C64, 

and I wonder if there's a company 

who wants to distribute 

it. It's got a one or two-player 

mode, the player and enemy 

sprites are in 16 colour hi-res 

mode and it has many levels 

of superb action and strategy. 

I hope you can find a good 

company who are willing to 

pay a fair price for it. 

By the way, we're also working 

on two other games at the 

moment. Can you help us 

please. 

Marco Van Steen, Prinsenbeek, 

Holland. 

YOB: If your game is as 

good as you say, the best 

thing to do is make some 

protected demo disks and 

send them oft to top companies 

around Europe and 

see whether they are interested 

in publishing it. If it 

really is good. I don't think 

you'll have any problems 

getting it snapped up.

STORY 

To follow on from Our guide 

to warp zones throughout 

Tiki's search for his chirpy 

chums, here's another, this 

time from G Ingham of 

Warks. On level 2.4, stand at 

the entrance to the room in 

which the giant octopus is located 

and fire to the right a 

few times. A warp will appear 

which, when entered, takes 

you to the beginning of level 

3.1! 

SIM CITY 

Citizens less than willing to 

agree to higher taxes? Follow 

these simple guidelines from 

Massimo Bartalena of Italy 

and watch that dosh roll into 

the Treasury. If only Nigel 

Lawson had taken this advice! 

At the beginning of each 

year, set the tax rate from the 

budget level to zero %. Play 

in the usual way until December 

(Or November if the 

speed is set at High). Go to 

the Budget window and set 

the tax rate to maximum 

(20%). Return to the Editor. 

When the Budget window 

pops up in January. reset the 

tax rate to 0%. This way, the 

income will always be maximum 

and the citizens will live 

happily, believing that they 

live without taxes!

press fire when you reach 

the other side to release

hit the wall or a baddie 

when swinging 

•To ensure that you donst fall 

too far when swinging, 

shoot the rope up and climb 

down to check that there is 

a level beneath you. If there 

is, its safe to swing. 

•Killing Jack Napier is a 

cinch, Just throw a batarang 

at him while avoiding 

the bombs he throws at you

Q: WHERE CAN YOU FIND: 

28 first class, specially selected titles, 

including 6, state-of-the-art coin-op 

conversions, THE world's greatest boxing 

simulation, 4 hit film and television 

inspired games, the computer version of 

the most played board game, the longest 

running chart entry to date, 8 Gallup chart 

number one's and, just for good measure, 

2 of the very best driving simulations ever 

released?? 

A: IN THE "THRILLTIME" COLLECTION

year, the "THRILLTIME" collections are 

lavishly packaged in unique collector 

boxes and mastered onto premium quality 

Gold and Platinum cassettes. Each title is 

recorded on to its own, individual 

cassette/disk side (for maximum reliability

the detailed instruction booklet enclosed 

in each package. And, if this was not 

enough, every "THRILLTIME" collection 

contains a special leisurewear offer (see

L ast released year VirginiMastertronic 

conversions of Technos 

highly popular coin-op. 

Double Dragon. and although 

they sold well, all versions were 

disappointing This Christmas 

sees the same company releasing 

conversions of the sequel to 

Double Dragon, the imaginatively-called 

Double Dragon II 

If you don't already know. 

Double Dragon 11 is a horizontally 

scrolling beat 'em up in 

which one or two players get 

the chance to walk into the 

wrong side of town and do 

battle with anyone they fond 

there The reason for all this violence 

is simple a group of baddies 

has once again kidnapped 

y our girlfriend (didn't they get 

the message last time'). so you 

(and a mate if he's not busy 

have to go and rescue her 

The backdrops are suitably 

seedy as the heroes begin their 

50 

0 LE 

RAGON 

quest, and within seconds the 

first gang members leap out 

from nowhere and attack These 

are a pretty motley crew ranging 

from cartwheeling martial 

arts experts and whip-wielding 

dominames to nine-foot giants 

All attempt to hit the heroes and 

wear down their energy bars - if 

this happens three times, their 

quest is over 

Fortunately the heroes can 

give as good as they get, and 

have a range of kicks and punches 

which can be used to good 

effect They can also pick up and 

use items dropped by baddies 

such as whips, knives, baseball 

bats and large boxes 

At the end of each level is a 

7a 1 

' 

very large bad guy who must be 

overcome before the heroes 

can continue, and at the end of 

the very last level is the boss - 

luck his head in and true love 

can finally prevail 

While Double Dragon II is basically 

very similar to Double 

Dragon, the ST conversion is far 

better than last year's effort, 

The graphics are almost identical 

to the coin-op. and the gameplay 

is very faithfuL The twoplayer 

mode works very well, 

adding more fun to the proceedings. 

and the game is challenging 

and addictive It's a shame VirgintMastertronic 

didn't get It 

right last year, but at last there's 

now a decent computer Double 

Dragon game that beat 'em up 

fans will genuinely envoy, 


UPDATE 

Amiga-owning Double Dragon 

IS fans will be pleased 

to hear that the version for 

their machine will feature 

even better graphics and 

sound than the ST version. 

We've seen absolutely nothing 

on the 8 bit versions, so 

check 'em out before 

buying.

REVIEW emmmyzo 

IS Gold released their conversion 

of Sego's hydraulic 

arcade driving machine. Outrun, 

this time two years ago. and although 

it sold incredibly well, it 

was generally considered to be a 

disappointment. 

Two years on and history 

seems to be repeating itself - for 

what we have here is a conversion 

of the sequel to Outrun. 

Turbo Outrun. Is it better than 

the original! Well, read on and 

find out. 

The aim, as in Outrun, is 

straightforward enough in that 

you've got to race across Amen. 

ca in your gleaming red Ferran, 

with the sun whistling through 

your shades and your blonde gir 

lie sat by your side This time 

round, though. you have a set 

route from New York to Los 

Angeles ahead of you instead of 

a nameless batch of freeways. 

and the Testarossa in the first 

game has been swapped for a 

considerably more powerful 

(top speed of 202mph) F40 

Gone too is the ability to choose 

the road you wish to drive on; 

to compensate. the number of 

stages has nsen from five to sixteen 

(four states, each containing 

four stages) 

At the end of each state the 

option is given to customise the 

F40, making available such 

extras as a bigger engine, wider 

tyres and a more powerful 

turbo boost than the one already 

fitted. Prowess at the 

steering wheel is essential to 

completion of the course, as all 

the other road users will be 

doing their damnedest to prevent 

you from finishing. Don't 

be tempted to drive recklessly, 

however, poor handling could 

mean your fickle girlfriend leav• 

ing you at the garage in favour of 

your arch rival - a hunky guy 

with a Porsche 959. 

Just about everything from 

the coin-op has been included II 

this staggering C64 conversion • 

manual/automatic gear shift, variable 

weather conditions, the car 

bouncing when you hit a log, all 

the roadside objects... the only 

thing missing are juggernauts or 

the road and the massive fli 

pover when you crash the car 

But you don't really miss them 

when the gameplay's this fast 

and exciting. 

The graphics are truly excel.

hao Lin, ,so they say, is a 

temple -of 

peace somewhere 

n the wilds of Manchuria where 

the monks are taught meclitatiOn. 

the spiritual secrets of 

universal energy fields, and also 

how to beat the doo-doo out of 

lust about anyone on the planet. 

Now you're sure to be thinking. 

yeah. yeah, another beat 

eir up, but where Chambers of 

Shao Lin differs from every 

other game of this type is in its 

six training sections which let 

you create your own fighter and 

build up strengths in particular 

disciplines Then you can move 

on to a five-part quest to do 

over a dragon 

While some of the tests are 

lust a matter of repeatedly dodging 

bombs or an opponent with 

a large stick, there are a few 

which are quite ingenious. In the 

Test of Speed, for example, 

your baldy on-screen hero is 

standing on a platform in a well 

with two holes in the walls. 

through which gallons of water 

are flowing' There are two 

covers suspended over the 

holes, but to cut their ropes you 

need to release the catches holding 

up two axes by hitting them 

with a steel ball suspended at 

head height from the ceiling 

High kicks get the ball swinging 

but mis-time it and you could 

Lay that sucker out!

eyes. Do well in certain disciplines 

and you'll be rewarded 

with mighty strength in the dragori 

mission. If you do particularly 

badly, you won't be able to 

perform some of the more 

exotic moves. 

The first part of the mission 

is made up of four. single screen 

beat 'ern ups. which, as single 

screen beat 'em ups go. are 

pretty good The graphics are 

smart and the computer combatants 

are challenging opponents 

As I've already mentioned, the 

moves available are dependent 

on your success in the discipline 

rounds, but with a well-trained 

fighter there's a decent selection 

of kicks and punches 

The final section is fraught 

with dangers, in the form of 

swooping dragonlets and rolling 

rocks, which your chap has to 

duck and lump over. 

All the sections are beautifully 

depicted on-screen, and if 

you watch the backgrounds carefully 

there's always someone flying 

a kite or a Ninia falling off a 

verandah or something. The 

sound effects are sampled, and if 

you have a I 04051 you get 

some very nice sampled music 

as well (520 owners get standard 

sound chip toons)

Although it's a generally 

simple task to roll around, tapping

it isn't long before you stumble 

across a highly unstable section 

of floor, It's possible to buy pick 

axes with which to repair these 

danger zones, but these implements 

aren't exactly cheap and 

you begin without a single penny 

in your pocket, so it's a good 

idea to collect the coins left scattered 

around by previous, less 

fortunate maze explorers. The 

coins vary in value, starting from 

$100, and you must be wise 

with your dough, only spending 

it on items which you need, as 

opposed to want. 

As well as pick axes, you can 

also spend your bread on bombs

1 nterphase is set in a future 

I where nobody watches the 

telly! Anyone with a spare moment 

goes for more direct sensory 

stimulation by plugging 

their head into a DreamTrack - 

an electronic recording of all the 

physical and emotional sensations 

which accompany various 

"exciting" expenences. 

Chadd is one of the dreamers 

who actually master these 

recordings, and he's just found 

out that his latest track could 

well destabilise the mind of 

anyone who plays it. There's 

only one thing for it - Chadd has 

to connect his brain to the building's 

computer and deactivate its 

security systems, the cameras, 

pressure pads and Boor turntables. 

while his girlfriend nips 

up to the top floor of the 25 storey 

DrearnTrack Corporation 

building, pinches the deadly 

track and gets out. 

As Chadd's brain infiltrates 

the computer it interprets the 

electronic surroundings as solid 

shapes on the surfaces of a multilevel 

structure of ceilings and 

floors Each shape represents a 

different type of security circuit 

which Chadd can deactivate 

with a blast of energy or a homing 

missile. These weapons also 

come in handy for destroying 

patrolling debuggers, which appear 

as belligerent spacecraft or 

frogs on unicycles (it's meant to 

be a dream, remember), 

You can play the game just as 

a 3D shoot 'em up. but getting 

to the top of the tower and out 

again requires brains rather than 

just blasting power. 

Chadd is in constant contact 

with his girlfriend and he can 

check where she is at any time 

on a floor blueprint. As she 

walks the corridors. Chadd has 

to strategically deactivate security 

systems so that she can 

pass through unhindered. Clicking 

on an object locks it into the 

Navcom. which Indicates the direction 

of the relevant circuit in 

the 3D network. 

It isn't just a question of 

switching off everything in her 

path though For instance. on

the first floor, you have to leave 

a particular security camera 

switched on so that when the 

girl passes. it activates a robot 

which moves out of its room towards 

the camera. The way the 

system is timed means that shr_ 

,can just dodge past the robot, 

and then get safely through th 

, room its just left. 

, Unless you're a right old M • 

Logic. finding each floor's solution 

is a matter of trial and 

error, especially the earlier onec 

which present you with more 

and more new components tc 

figure out Luckily. there's a 

game save option, so you don't 

have to start from scratch every 

time you get zonked. 

You're not just going to be 

playing Interphase for its 3D 

graphics, excellent though they 

are. Its the combination of 25 le. 

vels of intriguing logic puzzles 

(50 if you count the return jour

our hero can pick up other we:i

some of which contain 

magic armour with varying

for a while. 

Arthur starts the guest with 

three lives; if he is hit by a baddie 

or struck by a weapon he 

loses his armour and must continue 

in his natty white boxer 

shorts until he finds another suit. 

However, if he is attacked in this 

semi-naked state, he loses one 

of his lives and must go back to 

the beginning of the level. 

Ghouls 'n Ghosts on the ST 

is an extremely faithful conversion 

of the coin-op. Most of the 

original's features have been retained 

and, although the 

graphics aren't pixel perfect, 

they're easily recognisable The 

game itself is at first frustrating, 

with death knocking on the door 

almost immediately after play 

has commenced Once you start

turns into satisfaction with each 

inch gained. Sound must also be 

given a mention, the music being 

some of the best I've heard on 

the ST for a long time - it's very 

atmospheric! 

Ghouls •n' Ghosts is about as 

good as anyone could hope for 

Practically everything which 

made the coin-op such a deli& 

to play is in there, right down t•the

has never been so much fun!

Mosses of colour and loads 

of ployabilrty make up for 

the shortfalls apparent in 

the Amstrad version of 

Ghouls 'n Ghosts, most notably 

the push-scroll. As 

with the others though, it's 

as good a conversion as 

could be sensibly expected

Wow! Action and adventure as

Bloodwych and Promised 

Lands up there so soon. 

PG'S TIPS 

BATMAN.' Just out and headin 

gon up already, no doubt. 

STUNT CAR RACER: Microstyle's 

3D stomach-chumer of a 

race game. Great stuff 

INDY ADVENTURE GAME: Lucasfilm's 

superb adventure 

game with Universal appeal. 

OUTSIDE BET 

TOWER OF BABEL: Intriguing 

3D puzzle game from Microprose, 

which is sure to attract a 

fair bit of interest. 

At last Xenon Ills out, and, as 

everyone predicted, it's hyperdrived 

straight to the number 

one position. Long-awaited roleplayer 

Bloodwych is another 

high climber for Mirrorsoft, stepping 

swiftly into fourth position. 

PG'S TIPS 

SHADOW OF THE BEAST: Expensive 

and bland sort of game. 

but flash graphics and sound 

are winning it a lot of fans. Expect 

it to climb higher. 

BATMAN - THE MOVIE. Out as 

you read this, and probably already 

streaking up the chart. 

INDY ADVENTURE GAME: All 

the thrills of the film! So good, 

even C+VG's die-hard blasters 

are hooked!

SPECTRUM £12.99 

The first two vector graphic Star Wars 

games are nicely executed, and contain 

all the features of the original, the third 1 

one is a bit of a disappointment. One for 

the collectors .. 

OVERALL 7 8 % 


The vector games ate both excellent renditions 

of the arcade originals, and Return 

of the Jedi, although juddery is colourful 

and playable. Recommended 

OVERALL 8 0 % 

C64 £ 1 2 . 9 9 

The C64 isn't much cop at doing vector 

graphics, and the versions of Star Wars 

and Empire Strikes Back suffer as a consequence, 

with slow frame update making 

the game jerky to look at and tricky to 

play, The Return of the Jedi is blocky arid 

doesn't really capture the atmosphere of 

the arcade original. 

OVERALL 6 3 % 

ST £ 2 4 . 9 9 

Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back are 

both virtually indistinguishable from the 

arcade versions. Return of (he Jedi packs 

all the features of the coin-op, but is let 

down by poor graphics and occasionally 

quirky gameplay. Still, this is a superb 

package for Star Wars fans. 

OVERALL 8 1 % 

AMIGA £ 2 4 . 9 9 

Exactly the same criticisms as the ST 

package • the only difference is the 

clearer sampled speech on all the 

games. Star Wars fans shouldn't miss 

this.

and utterly addictive, Voyager is a neat 

and thoughtful 30 battle game which has 

plenty of depth, Batman (not the game of

cleared of enemies the action 

switches to an intergalactic dogfight 

as you. in your fighter ship, 

fly to the next area. 

While the game itself is an enjoyable 

arcade romp with lots 

going on. Soldier Of Light only 

vaguely resembles the original arcade 

machine in presentation. 

No more than average aesthetically, 

its best to think of Soldier 

Of Light as one of the better 

budget games around, as opposed 

to one of the feebler coinop 

conversions. Worth checking

and landing on the planet

is due to collide here in a 

few hours time - and you are

Moving around the Gamma 

system is straightforward 

enough, allowing you to concentrate 

on the task in hand There 

are no flaps, no undercarriage 

and no complicated instrumentation

there's time remaining, cash obtained

There are dozens of "neat

to bring a smile to even the

Its not surprising Damocles

will probably take at least another 

two years to complete it

1 993 is a dirty era in world his- 

' tory, with drugs. prostitution 

and similar unsavoury practices 

more rife the ever Look on the 

bright side though. at least 

there's only one man controlling 

the lot. Snag is. the bloke in 

charge is President Bangler. who 

has the police and armed forces. 

as well as the entire criminal 

underworld in his grasp. Although 

he has crushed almost 

every uprising against him and 

his government, one rebel organisation, 

led by Mulk. continues 

the struggle against this 

vile ruler's despicable acts A 

plan is drawn up to infiltrate the 

dictator's ranks, with the intention 

of assassinating Bangler, 

using two state of the art robots, 

the Ninia Warriors 

Six seedy areas stand between 

the droids and Bangler. 

and these must be cleared of 

hostile forces before the President 

can be reached Intelligence 

has informed Bangler of 

the threat to his life however 

and extra troops have been 

drafted in to each area, with a 

super-strong guardian at the end 

of each one to ensure the quick 

demise of the robots. 

Disguised as knife-wielding, 

shuriken -throwing ninja. the 

droids can withstand only a 

limited number of hits before 

they explode into shards of metal. 

And if that isn't enough, a selfdestruct 

device has also been 

built into the robots, destroying 

them should they fail to com- 

plete each level within the given 

time limit. 

Nina Warriors began as one 

of those ultra-trendy triple-monitor 

coin-ops, and the elongated 

look of the arcade machine has 

been represented surprisingly 

well on the ST. the overall 

playing area being compressed 

into the middle third of the 

screen. Although this means a reduction 

in the size of the 

graphics, everything still looks remarkably 

similar to the original, 

especially the robots which lose 

parts of their skin when hit by 

bombs and bullets. uncovering 

their metallic frames underneath. 

Animation of all the 

sprites is first class, with a 

charrning little spurt of blood 

when enemy soldiers are 

downed by a shuriken. Sound is 

also a delight, using a combination 

of crisp samples and bogstandard 

(but still very palatable 

to the ear) ST music throughout 

to great effect. 

The simultaneous two-player 

option of the coin-op has been 

retained for the computer 

game, and rightly so; Ninia War-

A DAY BURNING UP THE TRACK AT SILVERSTONE 

OR A FAB RADIO CONTROL RACER 

If you read last month's C+VG you'll know that 

Virgin Mastertronic's conversion of Continental 

Circus is one of the top road-racers around. But 

y'know, sitting in front of a screen joysticking 

your F-1 sprite around a famous Grand Prix circuit 

is all very well, but for REAL trouser-soiling 

thrills, there's nothing like a REAL trip around a 

world-famous race track, driving at mind-warping 

speeds in a REAL racing car! And that's 

just what Virgin Mastertronic are offering two 

first prize winners in this fabsville compo - a 

day's tuition at the John Watson Driving School 

at Silverstone in either an MG Montego ER or a 

SC1 single seat racing car! 

Don't despair if you're a non-driver, though, because 

Virgin are also giving away a terrific 

radio-controlled racing car, as well as copies of 

Continental Circus and posters as runners-up 

prizes for those who don't yet possess a current 

driving licence.

All you have to do to take delivery of one of 

these prizes is design the most amazing racing 

machine on four wheels. You know the sod of 

thing - Pirelli Enormo-tyres, a vast engine, loads 

of chrome and some puretty fancy paintwork - 

something that could do some real damage to 

the environment.

We'll be judging the competition as soon as we

are in by January 3rd.

are extremely useful, but

ard Dnvin was originally 

H 4, developed as a real droving 

simulator. designed to help Pear 

ners get the feel of what it's like 

to be behind the wheel of a car 

However, halfway through de 

welopment. the programming 

team vvisely decided that the r-chine 

would make far more 

money if it was turned into a 

coin-op so they beefed up the 

specifications of the car, added 

speed and stunt tracks and created 

the highest-grossing arcade 

game of all time 

The coin-op is an impressive 

beast, and features very fast 

filled. 3D polygon graphics that 

create a real-world environment 

There are options that let 

you select an automatic or manual 

five-speed gearbox, and the 

car handles very realistically So 

how the hell has it been 

squeezed into an STo Read on 

and find out 

As in the arcade game you re 

given the choice of an automatic 

or manual gearbox Automatic is 

a must for beginners Cocky drivers 

who opt for manual gear 

change can use the keyboard or 

a Joystick lust like a real stickshift 

You can also use a loystick 

or keyboard for steering, but 

the mouse gives the best feedback 

and provides the best feeling 

of really driving 

Once you've got the controls 

sussed it's onto the race There 

are two tracks to drive on, stunt 

and speed. and the rules are 

simple • lust drive through one 

of the checkpoints down the 

road before the clock runs out 

to gain extra time As long as 

you keep on going through

A xel has become mega-rich. 

due to all the royalties 

which he received from being 

named in the Beverly Hills Cop 

theme tune, and he's as happy 

as a sand lark because of it Un- 

fortunately, his girlfriend Lucy 

isn't what you'd call over the 

moon, as she's been kidnapped 

by a big, green dragon whose 

song was rejected by the film 

company. Axel, being the charming 

chappie that he is (and because 

he wants even more publicity 

and royalties), braves the 

terrors of the outside world and 

sets off to find young Luce._ 

The dragon is hiding in a faraway 

castle which Axel must 

reach to pay the ransom, passing 

BY GREMLIN 

though eight different lands before 

reaching his woman. A myriad 

of baddies must be annihilated 

along the way, which include 

poisonous snakes, vampire 

bats and primitive pygmy tribesmen. 

To add to this confused 

state of affairs, Axel must collect 

all of his cash, which is hidden 

throughout the eight levels the 

shy superstar doesn't trust 

banks), in order to get his girl 

back safely. 

To protect himself from the 

rigours of the outside world. 

Axel carries a hammer with 

which to biff the baddies over 

the head, as well as to smash the 

many blocks which contain the 

loot, Some blocks, though, hide 

useful objects which our lad can 

utilise on hi 5 journey, articles 

which include new weapons, 

extra lives and keys to secret 

doors. 

Axel is working to a strict 

time limit set by the dragon, but 

he still has enough time to 

search the many bonus rooms, 

hidden across the levels, which 

may or may not contain money 

or objects. 

Anyone who owns a Sega 

console will immediately realise 

where the programmers have 

taken their inspiration from; the 

thought of Alex Kidd practically 

butts you in the face from the 

word go. In fact, Axel's Magic 

Hammer is a clever combination

of all those cute Japanese games, 

with devilish woodland creatures 

bogging you down wher- 

ea ever you go, lots of goodies to 

collect and a host of hidden

the thumbs-up from this reviewer 

It's captured the feel of 

the consoles, with a host of cuddly 

graphics which you'd want 

to snuggle up to. were they not 

trying to do you in, and music is 

suitably bouncy, jingly and generally 

superbly suited to the proceedings.

UPDATE 

The Amiga version of Axers 

Magic Hammer will be released 

shortly, and with the 

exception of a few minor 

colour and sound alterations, 

should be exactly 

the some as the ST game.

OH DEAR, I'VE CRASHED 

Oh, how the cynics chuckled when Domark announced 

they had bought the licence to convert 

Atari's Hard Davin', the machine with the mighty 

"Polygonizer' hardware which makes fast 3D vector 

graphics such a breeze to program. 

But now those same cynics are laughing on the 

other side of their faces" (to coin a popular phrase) 

and if you look at the review on page 120 of this 

Issue, you'll see why. The conversions are nothing 

short of brilliant, and Domark are so pleased with 

them that they are happy, nay, ecstatic to be giving 

away a brand spanking new video cassette recorder 

and a collection of highly entertaining cassettes, jampacked 

with stunt driving escapades and loads of 

car-crashing laffs. Great fun, all in all. 

7 

"How do I win this saucy prize?' Is the question 

which is no doubt playing about your lips. Well, me 

old beauties, all you have to do is this. Find yourself 

C 

a large piece of paper, dig out your little sister's Care 

Bear-shaped fluffy pencil case, then pull on your 

thinking cap and design the ULTIMATE stunt driving 

course. 

We want loop-the-loops of course. Daredevil leaps - 

sure, yeah. But the winner will have even more bizarre 

and exotic obstacles on his or her track, like... 

Oh no, no clues. Were going to leave it wholly to 

your Imagination. 

Once you've got your Idea on paper, bung it in a nice 

big envelope then whizz it off t00000... THE "DO- 

MARK DOESN'T HALF DRIVE A HARD BARGAIN" 

COMPO, C+VG, PRIORY COURT, 30-32 FARRING- 

DON LANE, LONDON, EC1R 3AU. 

The winner will be picked as soon as we come back 

from our Christmas hols in January of next year. Remember, 

we can only return entries if they're accompanied 

by a stamped addressed envelooell

mistake that will get you killed 

How come? You're already dead

you start your existence in this 

game by watching W the crowd disperse 

at the end of your own 

funeral, and from then on. it's up 

to you to prove how effective a 

ghost you can be 

The adventure is in three 

parts, and whilst each can be 

played separately. its far better 

to treat the game as one whole 

adventure. In this case, on the 

Amiga at least, moving between 

parts is almost transparent to 

the player. Playing a part Out of 

order will undoubtedly spoil the Luke uses force.

Scapeghost combines a very

original story line with some 

highly unusual puzzles based on 

the supposed characteristics of 

ghosts, The highdevel commands 

available make it a pleasure 

to play, and free from frustration 

even ifa silly mistake is 

made The puzzles range from 

easy to quite hard, and there are 

clues in the text to guide the 

player, making this a game 

anyone should be able to tackle 

with confidence. 

Despite the occasional glitch, 

rank Scapeghost as Level 9's 

most enjoyable adventure. Their 

most enjoyable adventure of all 

time, in fact, because sadly Level 

9 have announced that this is to 

be their final adventure.

This month sees the first 

home grown adventure from 

Stormbringer Software: Menagerie. 

Written for the 48k

you as a vampire, and the 

game opens just after a successful 

encounter

In flight from the police. - 

stumble into a bunch of you 

aliens, and pass out as they 

point a hand-held device at 

you. 

You wake up to find yourself 

a rare species in an alien 

menagerie. As alien blood is 

not compatible with your metabolism, 

your only hope is to 

find the lost Bloodstone of 

Baal, and squeeze it. 

This is a humorous adventure, 

with a few graphics and 

some refreshingly amusing 

replies to the player. 

"Examine handbag", for 

example, elicits the reply "A 

quite spacious handbag that 

formerly belonged to a 

middle aged woman with 

blood group 0 Rhesus Negative." 

And after removing 

your clothes to provide 

enough objects to plot a 

maze, every response contains

Tennis Ace you could be Joh 

McEnroe every day of the year' 

and suffer no ill effects 

The first thing that occurs to 

you about Tennis Ace is that for 

a tennis game it has a vast a 

of option screens. They s 

with a one or two-player 

and password entry so you can 

start playing part way through a 

world tournament. 

Next you're given the choice 

of being one of sixteen players. 

which are rated on technique, 

power and speed, and are also 

designated as stroke players, net

or hard court. As well ying 

your opponents in a duubles 

match, the computer can play 

your partner which makes for 

more interesting and slightly 

sier) game. I found 

When you finally get around 

to actually starting the game, a 

big player sprite serves the bail, 

and the screen changes to a top 

view of the court which scrolls 

From side to side to follow the 

ball The two buttons provide 

forehand and lob shots, but if 

the ball is in the right place you 

can also smash it across the 

court_ Not a huge range of shot 

options, its true, but sufficient_

Graphically, Tennis Ace Is 

tidy rather than outstanding, b 

there are a selection of iingley 

tunes and there's even some of 

chat Sega-speech which sounds 

like a sub-aquatic alsatian 

To be honest. watching a ball 

sprite bounce back and forth 

over a line down the centre of 

the screen never really got my 

pulse racing But if computer 

tennis is your bag. this is one of 

the best examples of it - not 

quite an ace, but worth checking

But one person is man 

renough 

to stand up against 

Blurgh and beat the charlatan at

his own game. So. with magic

cats heads (the remnants

of Blurgh's supper) and armoured 

turtles, each packing a 

powerful punch In the form of 

unlimited bursts of merciless 

gunfire. 

Luckily for you. you're not 

alone in the fight, for throughout 

the battle you are able to enter 

hidden shops and borrow an 

item of well-powerful weaponry. 

Extra firepower is also 

available by clearing away certain 

waves of baddies, but guns 

are useless If you aren't fleet of 

foot and nifty with the old cloud. 

And at the end of each level you 

are tested to the full by an enormous

Although the Cloud Master 

offers little in the way of innovative

your mind wander while playing

bright colours on-screen. the

from impending doom in the

O ists have captured the 

President h and taken him deep 

into d the heart of their country 

Sounds e like a job for Bloody 

Wolf, a hard man extraordinary 

r 

Because it's a solo mission. 

Bloody can only take a machine 

A 

gun 

g 

and a limited supply of grenades 

with him But if he finds 

anything 

r 

useful along the way. 

he o can pick it up and use it 

against u the hordes of enemy soldiers 

p Such items include bazookas. 

o mega machine guns and 

flame f throwers - all ideal for wiping 

t out large numbers of enemy 

soldiers. 

e 

r 

r 

o 

r 

- 

The action takes place in a 

pseudo-3D scrolling landscape 

Bloody can run in and out of the 

screen, and throw grenades and 

shoot in all directions Enemy 

soldiers are everywhere - on 

motorbikes. behind oil drums, 

perched on trucks - and all fire 

at the hero on sight If Bloody 

sustains a hit, his energy bar is 

worn down, and a completely 

depleted bar results in the loss 

of one of his three lives. 

As well as the president, the 

evil terrorists are also holding 

other soldiers prisoner - including 

your best friend - and all can 

be rescued for extra points by 

simply touching them. 

As the hero progresses 

through the game, there are 

major obstacles to overcome. 

such as a giant submarine and a 

huge tank, and there are some 

horrible surprises in store later 

on. I'm not going to tell what, 

but if you've seen Rambo II, 

they're along those sort of lines... 

To be perfectly honest, 

Bloody Wolf looks pretty awful, 

but beneath the poor graphics 

and mediocre sound lies a fantastic 

arcade adventure that's full of 

action and excitement. It's tough 

to start with, with loads going 

on, but the superb g 

keeps - you coming back for 

more- arneplay I've been playing it for 

hours non-stop!

THE ARCADE IN YOUR BEDROOM 

If you're one of those who's always wanted a real coin-op in your 

bedroom, Mention Technical Services has something that you 

could well be interested in. Paul Glancey has the story... 

Owning an Engine or a Megadrive was 

one hard-to-beat pose for anyone who 

wanted to be part of the real gaming 

elite. I use the past tense, because 

now there IS a way to Out-cool Johnny 

'Consoles" Chuckletrousers across 

the street - Mention's Personal Arcade 

Plus. 

After many months of importing and 

selling consoles, Mention Technical 

Services have decided to take the arcade 

experience even further with a 

coin-op cabinet which fits around a 

Megadrive, PC Engine, in fact any console 

or computer on the market. 

It's a sturdy pre-built wooden box 

that comes in black, silver, red or wood 

veneer and is, to all intents and purposes, 

a coin-op cabinet. 

At the top of the machine is a shelf 

into which you put a SCART monitor/TV 

(it can be up to 19 inches wide). 

Incidentally, you MUST have a SCART 

socket on your monitor otherwise the 

machine won't work_ Once the monitor 

is safely stored, all you have to do is 

plug the cabinet's joystick circuit into 

the controller ports of your console 

(just like plugging in a joystick), bung 

in a cartridge and switch on. The 

cabinet has two arcade-quality sticks, 

six fire buttons and two select buttons 

which you can use on any one or twoplayer 

PC Engine or Megadrive game. 

y The subbins. Plug in and gL: 

But this isn't the most exciting feature 

of the Arcade Plus, though. Inside 

the veneered chipboard casing, there's 

a circuit board which lets you hook up 

the main program board from any 

JAMMA-compatible arcade game to 

the joysticks. Effectively this means 

you can slot in any game with the 

same single joystick/three fire button 

controls - anything from old classics 

such as Bubble Bobble to newer titles 

Sir 

A Jim gets to K, 

like Prehistoric Isle or Golden Axe. Obviously 

newer, classier boards cost the 

most (Robocop would set you back 

around E325) but you can pick up old 

games such as Bombjack, Yie Ar 

Kung-Fu, Pengo, Exiron, lkari Warriors 

and Tiger Heli for as little as E30 in the 

classifieds of arcade trade papers like 

Coin Slot The high turnover of arcade 

games mean that there are heaps of 

bargain boards coming on to the second-hand 

market every month. 

At El 99.99. the Personal Arcade 

Plus is an obvious luxury, but it gives 

arcade fanatics the chance to play real 

coin-op games at home at a relatively 

cheap price (since a proper arcade 

cabinet of similar standard would set 

you back over E400). Older arcade 

boards can be bought surprisingly 

cheaply, often only a few pounds more 

than a PC Engine or Megadnve cartridge, 

and you can always sell boards 

at very little loss once you're bored 

with them. 

If you've got the cash, the Personal 

Arcade Plus is an innovative and highly 

desirable piece of equipment that 

any arcade fanatic would want in his 

bedroom.

a sun-kissed day. It's hot. Re-

river. Suddenly, off to the

a tree plunges into the

you hurl one of your coke

hooks at you, and you have to 

use your hands and feet to frantically 

paddle your toob away 

from rocks, sharp branches in 

the water and nasty toob-eating 

snakes. 

The only way you and Bif can 

ever wake up from this nightmare 

Is to toob it all the way to 

the end of the river - and that 

means running the gauntlet of a 

daunting array of hazards. Every 

so often the river forks - with 

each separate tributary leading 

to another world. In Hillbilly 

land. blunderbuss-packing bumpkins 

are after our buoyant boys. 

Hell is full of such nightmarish 

creatures as skulls, knife murderers 

and pyramids with eyes 

Even worse is The City (all concrete. 

nasty punks and pollution), 

and then there's The 

Jungle and Ice World which are

To make things even more 

difficult you have to manoeuvre 

your toob through bonus gates. 

Miss too many and a giant 'gator

screen and tears you limb from

But its not all a nightmare. 

There are extra coke cans 

dotted around the river which 

can be picked up and hurled at 

the baddies. and if you grab a sixpack. 

you'll have an unlimited arsenal 

- very handy. Beach balls 

speed up your rubbery ride and 

there are also extra lives to collect 

in the form of toob patches 

If you manage to reach the 

beach party at the end of the 

final level, the nightmare is over 

and you can return to normality

Taito's three-screetwin-seater subaquatic

the aduiation it 

deserved. but The Edge 

are about to fix that with 

their tong-awaited conversions. 

Two extra tel-

out a bit expensive, so 

the original has been reworked 

and even tarted 

up a bit by the Alien Syndrome

THE 

SEARCH 

FOR SHARLA 

THALAMUS 

In production even as 

we speak is Thalamus' 

latest and most ambitious 

title to date. The 

Search For Sharla is 

being billed as a cross 

between Dungeon Master 

and Lords Of Midnight, 

with the task In 

hand being to defeat the 

evil sorceress, Sharla, 

who's up to all manner 

of nasty things. The 

stats being bandied 

about are pretty staggering, 

with tens of thousands 

of different 

graphic views, a realistic 

sleep option (eh? - Ed) 

and over 500 interactive 

characters. This C64 

screen shot looks a bit 

of all right, but how will 

the whole kit and kaboodle 

turn out like?

forthcoming review...
