Work continues apace on the 

Megadrive coin-op conversion of the 

decode, Virtue Racing. The arcade 

game was one of the most popular 

games of 1992, boasting oil-new technology 

capable of putting over 16,000 

polygons on-screen with a palette of 

over 16.7 million colours. 

Obviously the Megadrive isn't capable 

of anything quite as spectacular, 

but as you can see from our exclusive 

Megodrive Virtue screenshots, the 

game is looking hot The game is the 

BIGGEST cart ever devised by Sega. The 

code is stored on a 16-meg cart with a 

battery backup that enables players to 

save their best times. 

Of course, the real star of the Virtue 

Racing cart is the fabled DSP (Digital 

Signal Processor) chip. This is a superfast 

polygon generator chip thot outspecs 

the Super NES' 

Super FX chip. The 

Super FX chip is 

•NEWGAME 

•MEGADRIVE 

BYSEGA 1 

based on 8-bit technology and significantly 

reduces the Super NES's palette 

down to only 16 colours on-screen. The 

DSP has no such problems, allowing 64 

colours on-screen simultaneously. 

The question is, how fast is it? 

According to sources within Sega who 

sow the game in action behind the 

scenes at the CES show, it's supersmooth 

and the 3D is astounding to see 

in motion. Apparently, the graphics 

could've been even more detailed, but 

Sega chose to go for the speed instead. 

Virtue Racing is only 25% complete at 

the moment, with only the beginner level 

tracks incorporated. There's loads more 

to go in, which we will be exclusively 

revealing over the the next few months.

I[GIN GAMES 

Based on Frank Herbert's 

weird book series, Dune: The 

Battle For Arrakis, is one of 

the most addictive games 

this offi ce has seen for ages. 

Lucy Hickman romped over to 

Virgin Games to get a bit of 

spice in her life.-

'Lie who holds 

lithe spice 

holds the secret of the universe... 

" or something along 

thclte lines. This is the basis of 

the Dune series and also the 

theme of the new Megodrive 

game from Virgin Games. The 

main quest in this 8-Meg strategy/action 

bash is to collect spice, 

which is the only form of currency 

and the source of all the player's 

buildings, armoury and 

strength. 

The game is being programmed 

in America by the 

same development team who 

created Kyrandia and Eye of the 

Beholder on the PC — this is 

their first Megodrive product and 

A Seattle third house on the bottom left? 

That's Rick's house. Strufly isn't it?

from what we've seen so for, 

they're pretty much on the right 

lines. 

Arrakis, also known as Dune, 

is the only planet in the futuristic 

universe where the mystic5l spice 

— the most powerful substance 

ever — grows and the player's 

aim over nine levels, as one of 

three houses — Ordos, 

Harkonnen or Atreides — is to 

seize as many territories from the 

two opposing houses, by fair 

means or foul. 

A._ The programmer and four 

-7- graphic artists at Virgin's E 10 

million Westwood Studios in 

California, loosely based the 

game on the Dune series qnd off 

the back of the PC version1out 

have added another house 

(Ordos) for more variety. British 

producer, Matthew Spoil reckons 

Dune II is definitely a winner: 

"This game is incredibly addictive 

although It's difficult to qualify 

what it is about it that is so good 

— I suppose it's the feeling of 

being a god it gives you," he 

said. 

"It's quite similar to 

Megalomania and Populous but 

in this game you can control so 

much --- everything that's yours 

on the screen in foci." He said 

when the Megadrive gets to the 

point when it can't take any 

more due to memory restrictions, 

this is cleverly got round by the 

computer automatically telling 

the player that there ore already 

enough weapons on the screen. 

"The game is easy to pick up 

and takes absolutely ages to finish 

— I've been playing it eight 

hears a doy for over a week ant 

I still haven't finished it as all the 

different houses," he added.

WHAT 

GOT? 

The player starts off by choosing 

free" one of the three houses — 

Atreides ore the good guys and 

hence have the least weapons 

(making the player's job much 

harder), the Harkonnens are the 

bad guys, have the most powerful 

weapons and are the best 

ones for new players to learn the 

game with. The Ordos are fair to 

middling and have middle of the 

range weapons. 

EVE OF THE 

BEHOLDER 

The programming team of 

DuneThe Bottle For Arrakis has 

never created a Megodrive game 

before but it's worth mentioning 

thoi one of its PC titles, — Eye of 

the Beholder — was a groundbreaking 

role playing game 

viewed at a 3D angle and with 

utterly great graphics and amazing 

atmosphere.

After his first words 

, 

of wisdom, 

you start off the game with just a 

command centre and 950 spice 

credits. 

The aim of the game is to 

harvest spice to build up your 

credits to a certain level, use 

some of the spice to erect buildings 

such as power stations, gun 

factories and defensive turrets, 

then when you've built yourself 

up a nice army, go into the 

darkness and waste the 

opposing army 

. 

SIZE IS 

IMPORTANT 

Since you only have a set number 

of weapons at any one time, 

it pays to learn the range of all 

the different defence vehicles 

and learn where to place them. 

The rocket launcher, for own,' 

pie, has a long range but can't 

cope with nearby danger whereas 

the siege tank is good at 

medium range. Some of the 

cheaper vehicles such as the 

trikes are pretty fast but can't 

dish out or take heavy fire 

power.

Crank Herbert created a science

the guise of his epic book, Dune. 

The book revolved amund 

the powerful narcotic, the spice 

melange, which is only produced 

on one planet in the universe — 

Arrokis, otherwise known as 

Dune The Atreides family hove 

arrived on Dune to take charge 

of spice production for the 

emperor, who rather sneakily 

has allowed arch-rivals, the 

Horkonnens to do exactly the 

some thing... 

This Mego-CD tronslation of 

Dune originally surfaced on the 

IBM PC series of computers and 

has been substantially upgraded 

from the original to make use of

DUNE: THE 

MOVIE 

David Lynch (he of Twin Peaks 

and Blue Velvet fame) created 

the motion picture version of the 

Frank Herbert novel, Although 

the background scenario was 

faithfully captured, the movie left 

out massive portions of the book 

and had laughable special 

effects.,. suffice to say, the book 

is miles better. 

THE 

HOOKS 

There has been a enormous total 

of six different Dune novels 

released so far. Dune (the original) 

is excellent fodder for sci-fi 

fans as ore the sequels, Dune 

Messiah and Children of Dune. 

However, the subsequent followups, 

God Emperor of Dune. 

Heretics of Dune and Dune 

Chapter House were a tgcl on the 

poor side, if not a bit pervyl

The impre: e Dune CD intro is 

a full-mot .ideo extravoganza 

lifted stroigi,• from th*David 

Lynch movo. The result is very 

impressive indeed. However, the 

game features a full-motion 

video section that sees you flying 

over Dune's barren wostes in an 

"ornithopter". Graphically awesome, 

each of your destinations 

ore rendered in exceptional 3D.

Since Dune is based on CD,

somewhat eerie — the actors

SONIC'S

Sonic the Hedgehog II introduced 

a new pal for Sonic:

It's possible lot least in our preview version 

of the game) to just speed along to 

the exit flag on each round and not bother 

at all with the time travelling. 

However, by going forward and backwards 

in time, Sonic gains far more 

points and changes conditions in the different 

time zones. For example, in the 

Palmtree Panic Zone, the present day 

stage has no wildlife in it whatsoever. 

Travel bock to the past and you can see 

why: Robo-Sonic's busy enslaving them 

all! Zap him and return to the present 

and all the creatures hove returned! This 

port of the game hosn't been extensively 

programmed at the time of writing, but 

we dare soy that there'll be plenty of puzzles 

in there involving the different time 

zones by the time the game's complete 

As all Sonic fans know, the game is truly complete 

when Sonic has collected all six chaos

the CD Special Zone uses the Mega-CD's 

special ASIC chip. The result is a course that 

a looks similar to the battle level in the Super NES

COLLISION 

CHAOS 4 

The Collision Choos Zone gives 

another sneak preview of how the 

forthcoming Sonic Spinball may turn 

out. The platform landscape is 

crammed full of bumpers and flippars, 

meaning that all your pinball 

skills — as well as your platform 

abilities — are required in order to 

progress. 

TIME ZONES 

Eighties body-popping music 

assaults the ears as Sonic confronts a drabber, 

more industrial series of colours in the 

future zone. The future boss stage sees Sonic 

battling with Robotnik in a prototype pinball 

scene that the evil genius would later develop 

into on entire island in Sonic Spinballl The post 

scenario has the some basic lay-out, with only 

a more pleasant graphical facelift separating 

it from the present day stage. A bizarre 

panpipe tunes ploys throughout this 

prehistoric stage. 

TIME 

ATTACK! 

Sonic CD introduces an all-new Sonic 

feature — the Time Attack! Here at 

MEAN MACHINES, we're constantly 

bombarded with readers 'phoning in with 

their latest times for each zone. The CD 

version keeps a track of the best zone 

times and allows you to replay an individuol 

stage in order to beat your best 

time! This cheeky level select only allows 

you to choose worlds that you've conquered 

in the original game 

There are seven distinct zones in 

Sonic the Hedgehog CD — each 

with three different stages. 

However, duo to the time-travelling 

nature of the game, it's 

possible to access four more 

levels per zone. Stages 

PALM 

yo TREE 

PANIC 

LEVEL PREVIEW 

In the preview version we've 

seen, this is the only complete 

zone. It's similar to the Green 

Hill Zone of Sonic I, but with 

odded features like vertical 

rampwaysl Swing your pants 

to the funky CD tunes. Gloria 

Estefan — eat your heart out 

(or something). 

TIME ZONES 

No more palmtrees in the 

future! Instead there's a more 

sombre grey background and 

"techno-trees". This section 

has the best music in the 

game — a classic 2 Unlimited 

hook meets on 808 State bass 

and rhythm with some 

Adomski piano house adding 

to the rove-tastic cacophony! 

Excellent stuff. The lost stage 

of Palmtree Panic changes the 

colour schemes again, with a 

"browner" feel along with a 

slight remix of the theme 

one and two of each level 

have special time flags. Collect 

one of these and you're ready 

to zoom to either the future or 

the oast of that zone! Level 

three of each zone is always 

set in the future. 

TIDAL TEMPEST 

Robotnik's 

latest tamperings 

with the fabric 

of space/time bring 

Sonic to the Tidal Tempest 

Zone. Half the Zone is submerged 

by the result of on enormous 

tidal wave. Whilst under water, 

the screen wobbles uncannily to produce 

the required suboqua effects. 

Oooh. 

TIME 

ZONES 

T effects of the eponymous Tidal 

Tempest change little in the effected time 

zones, The basic lay-out of each stage 

exactly the same with only different 

music and chonges in the level of technology 

evident. The future zone has plot. 

forms panelled by hi-tech control controls. 

In the future zone, Sonic bottles 

Robotnik by pursuing him through a 

maze into on underwater chamber, 

where the diabolical madman reveals his 

latest creation!

QUARTZ QUADRANT 

Travel through graphically astounding 

quartz caverns in the fourth zone of 

• Sonic the Hedgehog CD. This is probably 

the most attractive stage in the 

whole game! What's more, the enemy 

start to get a tad more fearsome, • 

some of them even being impervious 

to Sonic's spinning attack. Aieeel 

"Popular" eighties band Shokatok ore 

• mercilessly ripped off for some of the 

themes in this zone — their own brond 

of inoffensive piano hooks combined 

with some funky backing (including 

samples from Bizarre Inc's 

Such a Feeling single). 

TIME ZONES 

The future quartz zone has been 

completely mined out by 

Robotnik's machinery in search of 

the Chaos Emeralds. Only Sonic 

can destroy the evil establishment 

by facing up to Robotnik in his 

mining control room. 

• 

WACKY WORKBENCH 

Sonic gets his first form of transport in the game during the Wocky 

Workbench level of the game. This stage is set inside a massive factory, with a 

highly charged floor. Should the spikey hero make contact with the ground,. 

he's instantly propelled sky-high! Loads of wall-mounted piping 

enables Sonic to get around each sub-level 

at sub-sonic speeds! Electrified backdrops 

tend to make this level a bit trickier at the 

best of times... 

TIME ZONES 

At the time of writing, there were no extra 

time zones for Sonic to find in the Wacky 

Workbench stage of the game. Only the in 

obligatory level three future zone was present 

(every third level in the game is set in 

the future). The music for the future level is 

a straight Altern-8/T-99 rove rip-off -- and 

why not? 

A Sonic tries in vain to halt the rampaging Mongol hordes. Well, maybe not. 

MIA SEGA 25

Sonic is transported to the stars, where he 

takes a ride on a starship that bears on 

uncanny resemblance to loads of trombones 

welded together! An incredibly tough level 

this (at least in our preview version), backed 

by on incredibly strange piece of music. 

Imagine if you, aspects of Mel and Kim, 

bocking vocals rather like Boyz 2 Men, a 

seventies backing track along with a Betty 

Boo sixties guitar break AND the obligatory 

Shakatiock piano leo& Horrific eh? Believe 

it not it actually works! 

fat TIME ZONES 

The trombone platforms ore replaced by 

pleasant greenery and classic Roman architecture 

in the last of the Stardust Speedway 

with a cocky remix of the amazing present 

day tune warbling away in the background. 

The level three future zone is the most rock 

challenge in the game — Sonic is confronted 

by not only Robotnik (in his chariot with a 

sudden death ray gun!) but ALSO the heroic hedgehog's robotic evil twin, 

who has a nasty habit of electrifying himself should Sonic come close!

This may seem like an odd

Christmas but it's about now 

that Sego and all the big software

it I should imagine. What is 

bothering me a bit is just how 

often Sega will continue to 

update their systems. I presume 

they'll step up titles 

for the Mega-CD and so 

forth, but the kind of 

money a lot of the hardware 

costs means choosing 

what to buy is tricky. If I 

bought the Mega-CO at 

Christmas, how do I know it 

might not be ancient history 

six months later? All of this 

updating and rehashing 

seems like a bit of a rip off to 

me. Admittedly the Megadrive is 

still very popular but the pressure 

to get the latest systems means 

you could be likely to find yourself 

with o games machine that 

has hardly any software at all, 

and what it does have isn't that 

good. Take the Mego-CD for 

example, it's got plenty of potential 

but most of the games on it 

are trash. I hope the desire to 

make Christmas bucks doesn't 

mean Sego take their customers 

for a ride.

Dear YOB 

I know you probably get loads of 

letters about the following subject 

but I don't think I've ever 

seen a reply printed. I'm writing 

to ask about computer journalism, 

or more specifically console 

journalism. I am 15 years old so I 

hove still got to do my GCSE's. 

Should I go on to further education 

after this? Do you think it is 

more important to be good at the 

games or more important to 

write well? Are 

there any courses 

or exoms I 

could take that 

would improve 

my chances? Is it 

really as fun as 

most people 

would imagine? 

Paul Douglas, 

Blackburn. 

YOB:Being able 

to write is 

what's most 

important, so 

taking subjects that allow you 

to develop your writing skills 

ore a good idea - English language, 

literature, history and 

stuff like that is very helpful. 

Read books too to help 

increase your vocabulary.

BADJOB 

Dear BOY, 

Three points struck me on read 

ing Mrs Shelley's letter in issue 

10, Oh, and before we start, I 

am 28, have 10 0-levels. 5 A- 

levels, a B.A. (Hons) and o pro 

fessional qualification, so you 

can't accuse me of being a 

young impressionable reader 

who doesn't know ony better, 

Mrs Shelley. 

Firstly, let us clear up a few 

matters raised by your letter. 

If you send a "personal" letter 

to the editor of a national 

publication, it is likely to 

be published and, no 

doubt, if it hadn't you 

would have been the first 

to scream "censorship"! 

Also, anyone who actually 

pays attention to what 

they ore reading knows 

that YOB is, with prejudice 

to none, sarcastic 

to everyone. Also, I 

think that you will find 

that the reaction of 

the readership to 

your letter is not due 

to any brain-washing 

technique on 

the port of the 

Editor !you are 

obviously one of 

those people 

who believe that 

children have 

flO 

thoughts/opinions/rights 

of 

their own). People 

laugh at what they find funny 

ond since this is a games magazine 

it is hardly surprising that 

the readership have found you 

and your views to be both funnypeculiar 

and funny-ha ha. 

Secondly, I notice that both your 

letters are couched in terms of 

utter negativity. If there is any 

malice present then it is on your 

part because you ore seeking to 

deny children a popular pastime 

while offering them no alternatives. 

You accuse MEAN 

MACHINES SEGA of malice and 

threaten them with closure and 

yet they have published your letters. 

They, at least, ore prepared 

to allow people to make up their 

own minds, not an option you 

are offering. Your use of the 

pejorative term 'evil" in respect 

of console games shows a fundamentally 

illogical approach to 

your perceived problem. By using 

emotive terminology, which 

defies rational analysis, you 

cleorly hope to use the religious 

mumbo-jumbo of "evil forces" as 

on emotional crutch to help you 

explain your own failings and 

those of the society which your 

generation has created. The real 

problems for future generations 

• l i e not in console games but the 

ecological, political and economic 

problems that ore ruining this 

planet. The sod fact about our 

- 

rdren are safer sitting in their 

elounge playing Sonic than they 

are out on the streets,

Deor YOB 

I'd just like to soy how really 

good your mog is. Not only do 

you get the best news and previews, 

but yoti deliver the best 

reviews. It is so entertaining and 

funny and you get paid for it. 

Plus, Rich is soon going to 

Chicago... you're oil so lucky. 

You all have the best possible 

jobs ever and are the most 

envied people since Dominic 

Diamond's hairdresser. But you 

get to be bigheads about it. The 

meg should hove more female 

writers (not that I am one) but I 

reckon Lucy does a great job. 

So do all of you and I'd like to 

buy you all a present if I could 

afford it: 

Jaz, a big motorbike to burn off 

his 'manhood" - you know what I 

meonl 

Rich, a designer phone-box with 

porno interior plus a list of dirty 

numbers and a big bog of 10p 

coins (rich, that was below the 

belt - well, ask Rich what he does 

involving phone-boxes and parts 

below his belt). 

Lucy, 1000 red roses cos I think 

she looks dead nice. 

Oz, a clothes consultant... platforms 

indeed 

Andy, a real Ferrari convertible 

with leather interior etc. 

Rod, well, the other half of his 

hair would be nice. 

Angus, I really don't know what 

to say, do you? 

A Oh well at toast it's the fast ow for this issue, 

so mediocre maths to Scott Orders, I suppose. 

Paul, 

a decent razor 4 E 

would be nice. This is definitely 

the order of the day. He 

never looks clean-shaven. 

Tom, he can shore with Rod. 

Frazer. a decent joke book with 

gold leaf. Also a bin so he can 

dispose of his "12 Easy Steps to 

becoming a Brucie Bonus" book 

like yesterday. 

Whatever happened to YOB's 

gossip column? I wouldn't mind 

seeing it back. How about doing 

a profile of each writer's desk 

plus belongings? That would be 

ace. Well YOB, now its your turn, 

go on, I can't take it but insult 

me, make me feel 

worse than I 

already do. I've 

never been insulted 

much so go for 

It.

do a great job.

fact, that she

0Yes, another old one but it's so superb that 

this cheat deserves a look. Especially since J 

Brant included it in his brief history of 

Megadrive hints and cheats. This level select 

7is only possible after ploying the game 

through and completing it once. Once this 

done, press A, B, C, RIGHT, D and START 

an old Megodrive title, 

though it's still one of the best. Perhaps this is 

why Andrew Flowers couldn't contain himself 

any longer and reminded us all of this prehistoric, 

infinite Shuriken trick: Changing the 

Shuriken count to zero and then waiting with the

HUMANS 

How Ed Lomas discovers these cheats is beyond mel 

This one for Humans allows players to omoss almost 

limitless tribe members. Ed says that any level 

where there is on extra tribe member to rescue this 

is what to do: Rescue him, pause the game then 

restart the level. Repeating this provides the player 

with as many tribesmen as you deem necessary. By 

of Pink Floyd's 'The Wall' film, it's still a girlie name 

1the to go way by Ed, because so what I say if Pinky so! is the central character 

There's always one game in the tips section that 

doesn't seem to belong. Like a cheat for Jennifer 

Capriati Tennis? Like what? Well how about a secret 

configuration screen for example. All that is required 

is to input the words CON and FIG on the password 

screen ond the secret options screen appears.

European Club Soccer is dull to ploy. So

THREE SHREDDED WHEAT password 

enables the players on any chosen team to 

launch the ball about three times harder 

than usual. The other password — QUIT-

win the game, even if your team ore currently 

losing. For example, a match quit 

when your team ore two-nil under 

becomes a three-two victory! We're also 

very happy that our surnames ore slightly

Hmm, photo-copied cheats, eh Owen McCarthy. You 

wouldn't be sending this cheat off to anyone else would 

you? Well, it is a great cheat and very frustrating for the 

opponents team. It prevents the opposing team from 

making their next play should your team hove only a 

marginal lead towards 

the end of a match_ 

When the description of 

the lost play is displayed 

on screen, for example 

'16 sacked, 4 yard loss', 

hold up on the D-pad

MUHAMMAD ALI 

HEAVYNEIGHT 

BOXING 

Andrew Mcivcw, probably inspired by Chris 

Eubank's recent interview in Q magazine, 

fought to send us this cheat which pits your 

chosen boxer against any boxer in the heavyweight 

championship. After playing the first 

match this provides the basic code for the 

cheat. By taking the first three characters of the 

code, follow it up with any of the following for 

whichever motch you feel your boxer con handle: 

801 Rank Boxer: —KEH7Z 

7th Rank Boxer: —EMU 

6th Rank Boxer:-5C77Z 

50i Rank Boxer: —B4N7Z 

4th Rank Boxer: —2N47Z 

3rd Rank Boxer: —W7C7Z 

• 2nd Rank Boxer: —WXB7Z 

1st Rank Boxer:-4XE7Z 

JGorden, who lives at Mayfield Gardens in Aberdeen 

has a crap collection of games — or so he tells us. 

However, he's blown all his chances of receiving any 

decent software from us by supplying two sheets of 

hopeless posscodes and cheats. Here's one of them, 

it's for John Madden's Football: Final: 0475121. 

Great. 

James Tweed also tells us that the code 

H070007Z, when entered in the tournament 

mode, allows the player control of Ali 

with a ranking of one with no wins nor any 

losses. The opponent he faces is named Al 

Muhammad and most likely beats the pixels 

out of Ali. When this happens the winner 

loses his head, literally, and has the 

rees torso! 

MEGA40 

MANIA 

This one is excellent! Believe it or not 

there is a hidden version of 'Sinister' in 

Megalomonia found by James Tweed. 

All that is required is to enter JOOLS as 

the password and a variation of that 

creaky old coin-op, shoot 'em up 

appears!

XNMEN 

Whoever sent this one in forgot to include their name, 

so for familiarity's sake this person is now named 

Cornelius Dangleberry. The cheat allows players to 

select any level and requires two controllers. After 

switching the Megodrive on hold down the C and A 

buttons. Press START on the title screen then unplug 

the controller, Now plug the controller into port two 

and press START. By plugging a controller into port 

one and pressing START any level is selected from the 

• ccess panels at the right-hand side screen. 

MX ATTACK CHOPPER 

Usuolly when people write to us with tips they, well, they 

write to us. Even if it's just to tell me that I'm crop at Sonic II 

Not so the man John Wood from Kings Lynn. This stern fellow 

is as direct as they come and merely states that these are 

the codes for the NORMAL level of the LHX Attack Chopper 

game on the Megadrive. They ore as well. 

Level One: SDAAAIHA 

Level Two: DAAAQEA 

Level Three: DAAAYFA 

Level Four; DAAAAWC 

Level Five: DACAIWC 

Level Six: DACAQVC 

Level Seven: DACAYLIC 

Level Eight: DACABHE 

Level Nine: DACMGE 

Level Ten: DACARFE

LUCY IS HOT SHOCh 

Paul Nelson's Megalomania tip is not all thatratherinteresting, 

however he added a raer interesting PS to his letter 

which reads: 'I think Lucy is hot and the ending sequence 

is miff compared to the rest of the game'. I don't get it 

Paul, what's the connection? 

It's time for Ed Lomas' monthly 

Road Rash II lip — and you 

thought he was confusing in 

the August issue, well gel a 

load of this! On the password 

screen, this cheat is best 

described by substituting the 

password with 1234 5678. 

Bike: Add or subtract multiples 

of two to '2' and the opposite 

to '6'. It is mainly guesswork as 

to what bike is chosen. 

Level: Add or subtract to '5' 

AI M EE_ 

and the some to '8'. For 

example adding three to those 

numbers from Level One progresses 

the game to level 

Four However this doesn't 

always work. 

Money: Add or subtract multiples 

of two to '1', '2', '3' or 

'4'. Different amounts of 

money ore obtained from this. 

Qualified tracks: Add or 

subtract to '7' doing the opposite 

to '8'. These are not in 

any set pattern so it 

doesn't work every 

time. 

Good grief Pinky, what 

the heck ore you going 

on about? Thanks all 

the same.

'HOW TO CONTROL 

Silpheed has a pretty basil cootrot 

mode. The D-Pad wives yea 

left and right as well as "in" 

and "out" of the screen, deeper 

into the scenery. Other than 

that, standard shoot 'em up 

fare. 

T he Home Fleet is in disarray. 

Implosion fires rage on some 

of the vessels, making them look 

like coals suspended in spoce, 

voiceless infernos deprived of the 

oxygen to let them burn. The 

remainder of the once proud 

force huddles around the gravitational 

field of Neptune, using it 

to maintain a stable telemetry. 

This chaos has come about by 

the devious but brilliant strategies 

of the terrorist Zacarte. By 

kicking the computer network on 

Earth, it was possible to disable 

the fleet long enough for his own 

forces to overwhelm them. With 

his massive firepower now ringed 

around the home planet, a fullfrontal 

counter-attock would be 

suicide. 

However, Earth command has 

one last trump — SA-77 

Silpheed. The fighter is small and 

nimble enough to penetrate 

Zacarte's fortresses, and powerful 

enough to take therm out. A 

squadron of Silpheed are enter- 

,' ing the inner solar system as we 

MAIN 

Silpheerd is armed with two complementary weapons systems. The 

main system is the front-mounted cannon. This is a rapid-fire unit 

that fires in bursts of six, This is enough to destroy most small 

enemies in a single shot. The weapon may be mounted in four 

different w The main weapons are located on both wings of 

the $A-77, mixed combination of the following four systems

Lawkst 

Silpheed is 

something 

for Mega- 

CD owners 

to positively 

crow 

about. 

Polygon 

graphics 

Gus on home 

consoles 

reach a new high with this 

exemplary shoot 'em up. 

The game starts in simple 

fashion, and in truth, shooting 

squadrons of aliens is 

basically the same all the 

way through. But the fabulous 

areas the game takes 

you through, with tumbling 

asteroids and screen-sized 

laser bolts is an astounding 

roller-coaster ride. The 

massive dreadnoughts 

bring a whole new meaning 

to the term 'boss' (though 

the actual bosses themselves 

are quite weedy). 

The game combines a very 

tough challenge, with sweet 

visual rewards as you 

progress; all the best levels 

are deep in the game. This 

has to be the most atmospheric 

shooter ever, with 

brilliant cut sequences and 

the constant chatter of your 

co-pilots and the computer. 

At last, a Mega-CD game 

that combines effect and 

action perfectly.

INTHEMARINO 

Silpheed has been in 

development for two 

years at Game Arts— 

about os long as the 

-CD has existtime 

hos 

wine into the constructing 

of polygons, 

using the coprocessing 

powers of the 

Mega-CD. MEAN MACHINES 

readers might not wont to extend 

that two year wail any more than 

is necessary, but be warned: 

Silpheed works with a PAL 

Megocinve/Mego-CD and CDX, 

but the CD soundtrack jumps 

constantly and the game is 

noticeably slower. The official 

version should rectify these 

faults. So our advice would be to 

hang on 

A &mime My heat/Wel new 

int nestetiele motor home! 

COMMEN 

Silpheed is 

simply the 

most 

impressive 

game ever 

released 

for the 

Mega-CD. 

Why can't 

all CD 

RICH products 

be as 

amazing as this? The 

Mega-CD's hardware is 

immediately put to good 

use, with some absolutely 

awesome intros and atmospheric 

CD sound. The ingame 

graphics are better 

still with awesome space 

fleets, alien planets and 

fabulous space stations. 

After this, the Galaxiansstyle 

gameplay may seem a 

little bit of a letdown. 

However, the blasting 

action grows on you and 

with each level completed, 

the alien legions gain even 

more speed. By about level 

five, the action is incredibly 

fast and intense — and the 

jaw-dropping graphics are 

reward enough to spur you 

on to attempting to complete 

the next level. 

Silpheed Is one of the 

greatest shooters I've 

played in a long while — 

and an ESSENTIAL buy for 

LMega-CO owners.

is no walkover. The 

backgrounds really 

odd to the game. 

The gameploy is pretty shallow,

LASTABILITY 

The game is 

elinemeiy tough. Ws 

something you'll 

come bacil to Mg for

E GEAR REVIEW 

IROCIFC 

N OF CHUCK 

Although 

lacking in 

originality, 

I thoroughly 

enjoyed 

Chuck Rock 

The 

graphics 

are bright 

and well 

drawn, the 

LUCY backgrounds 

sharp and Chuck 

himself well animated. The 

levels ore quite large and 

challenging with lots to do 

and see — I think there could 

hove been more of them 

though. Experienced games 

players won't get a hell of a 

lot out of this game on EASY 

level, but your overage platform 

fan should take a look

PICK ME UPS 

To help him in his quest further, Chuck collects a

of your life, it gets noir a b ' dull — even if you ore only six months 

old. Or so thoughl Chuck Rock Junior until his car company boss dad

the security of his cradle and go out into the big, bad world of plot.

Making his debut on the Game Gear,

terrifying dinosaurs

up fruit and baby bottles 

and bashing bricks 

to gel your way

final confrontation 

against the arch-baddie.. 

Brtrk Jogger the defeat 

of whom wins freedom 

for dada. I really 

enjoyed the 

original 

Chuck Rock 

and this 

sequel is 

miles better, 

with 

fast, addictive 

platform 

action 

RICH and some 

Iruly exceptional graphics. I 

would go as far as to say that 

this is the best Game Gear 

game I've played in months. 

A bit short on lastobility and 

originality perhaps, but a fine 

game nonetheless. 

AND 

CONS 

Apart from a soiled pair 

of Pampers to protect 

his modesty, Chuck is 

naked unless you count 

the large club he carries 

and uses to thwart the 

enemies which include 

monkeys, robots, octopi, 

fierce flowers and 

dinosours His progress 

is further thwarted by 

rivers of fire, ocid leaks 

and boulders Other 

animals ore friendly 

and sometimes give 

him a lift over perilous 

parts and up to 

power-ups.

seen from a side or overhead view. Small ladders and passageways 

indicate where Jason must leave the vehicle, whereupon 

he is seen on foot from a side-view. When he enters the lair 

of a boss he's seen in a larger side-view. In the overhead view

PRESENTATION 

• • • 1 1 

On every massive 

level Jason must 

locate the lair of the 

mini-boss and batter it 

into submission. Once 

defeated, the beast 

hands over a special 

weapon that Jason 

needs to find the momn 

boss. Once located, 

more battering ensues 

until the main boss 

hands over a weapon 

or object which allows 

our hero to enter the 

next level.These range 

from insulated armour 

that protects Jason 

through an impregnable 

electrical field, 

polorised shades to 

stop him going blind 

in volcanic caverns, 

drillers to bore 

through soft earth and 

dives that allow the 

vehicle to move 

through water.

a singularly 

ugly piece 

of software. 

The box 

looks horrible, 

as do 

the first

th bland sprites and chunkesque 

backdrops. It's not 

until you're right into the second 

stage that you realise it's 

a lot of fun. Cleverly, there's 

a wide range of gameplay, 

with overhead maze sections, 

platforms, puzzles and boss 

fighting. Even better, the 

graphics improve considerably 

as you progress, with 

some neat effects (check out 

the fire level). Although the 

concept looked bland when I 

started, all the features su 

as power-ups, special 

weapons and secret passages 

got me really involved. You 

do need to get hooked, 

because as you traverse later 

levels, that pile of continues 

shrinks ever rapidly. 

Personally, I wouldn't quite 

coil Blaster Master 2 a Mega

BOOK OF THE 

4 Harker 

enquires oboe, 

the whereabouts 

of his missing 

extremity. 

Dracula is presented in the form of a story, taken 

from Brom Stoker's book. Each level is split into 

short 'chapters' that expand out of the pages. There 

ore seven chapters in all, following Harker's escape 

from Castle 

Dracula; his 

refuge in the 

convent; killing 

the Undead 

Lucy, uncovering 

the lair at 

Codex Abbey, 

and the final 

flight to 

Transylvania 

Count Dracula is feared 

throughout the world as a 

filthy abomination. Pity the 

game will be too. Psygnosis 

have produced such a 

tacky load of tripe it will 

freeze the blood in your 

bones. Okay, the gameplay 

isn't as infuriating as the 

Mega-CD version. But I 

don't rate the game any 

better, as it's just a rehash 

of their Galahad game, probably using 

much the same programming engine. Each 

level is a charmless platform monotony of 

finding a motionless sprite and then an exit. 

There's no logic, point or depth (or 'ambience' 

as the writer of the game's prodution 

notes likes to call it) to the game beyond 

that. For the most part the graphics are 

bland and inappropriate: Where the hell did 

the giant tarantulas, the barn, the scorpions, 

the zombies and the drunk-men-lying-althe-bar 

come from? Not the excellent movie 

this supposedly comes from. A proper 

Dracula game could be blood-suckingly 

good: this just sucks.

EGADRIVE REVIEW 

Harker found one of Drocula's 

antique swords, which he swishes 

about on command Also to be 

found are small arms — pistols, 

rifles and dynamite - for 

stronger foes- But ammo is strictly 

rationed 

GET ME OUT 0 

THIS! 

Harker, having lost his Transylvanian guide-book, 

often finds himself lost in the assorted Inns, barns 

and convents he passes through. To reveal the exit 

he must find a friendly local. Strangely, this motionless 

figure thinks of an object, which is enough 

to uncover a pointy exit sign at 

another place in the 

level- 

Amen lying OH the 

floor, just like the movie. 

FIENDS AND 

COHORTS 

Along the way, Harker encounters Dracula's fearsome 

henchmen (women?) in end-of-level fracas. 

Each takes about eight hits to defeat. There's the 

evil coachman, who lashes with his ten-foot whip 

(coo-erl); the three Vampire Devil's strumpets — all 

cackles and flowing frocks; plus multiple manifestations 

of Dracula 

as on old 

magician, and a 

young assassin 

as well as a 

20 foot high 

fireball spewing

beyond recognition to suit 

the completely bog-standard 

negotiate-the-platforms-and-beat-the-bigend-of-level-boss

And as a game in its own 

right it's sub-standard, 

completely unoriginal and 

filled with annoyances. The 

controls are very sluggish 

indeed, things fall down 

from the ceiling without 

warning which makes the 

going very frustrating, collision 

detection is poor, the 

general game design and 

plot is crap, the sound is 

average, the graphics 

aren't much cop and attention 

to detail is shoddy — 

for example, when the main 

character walks up and 

down slopes his legs tread 

in mid-air, rather than on 

the ground. After a couple 

of sessions I felt no compulsion 

to play this pustulent, 

putrescent platformer any

think EVERY Megadrive 

platform game available is 

better than this. Even the

In between rounds, the wizards travel to 

Pum to mix spells. Any two fruit items 

make a spell (including the some types). 

Spells ore mixed in the cauldron. There 

are dozens of spell effects, ranging from 

extra stars to extra time, hints, secret 

doors and sub games, or sometimes 

nothing at all. Mopping the effect of 

each mix is a crucial part of the game

a magic item of that fruit is granted.

Without any enemies to hinder you, the game 

Is a blinding rush against the dock. Fine, but 

apart from sharpening reflexes, there's no 

strategies to develop as you get further into 

56 levels. Okay, tho spell elements, the subgames, 

and tho bosses all odd something, but 

the core of the game is very basic. The twoplayer 

mode is great fun, in a skill-less sort of 

way, a bit like computer 'Snap'. I really like 

Wiz and Liz at the moment, but I don't know if 

will in a montli's time.

SUB SUB 

Games within the game are an integral part of Wiz 

and Liz. Old arcade favourites like Space Invaders, 

Pong, Breakout and Snake ore hidden, requiring 

them is a way of boosting your score. 

The bash for many mother-related jokes in the office. 

Cute, fluffy licide bunny 

wabbits? Pint-sized cutesy 

wizards, pwetty SWIMS, birds 

an' flowers an' fings and 

music more nauseating nice 

than the Sound of Music— 

bieurgh, how sickening! 

Apart from the scenario, I 

quite liked this new offering 

from Psygnosis. After marvelling 

at the pretty graphics 

( and they are fairly special), 

I at first thought the gameplay was too 

simplistic — but then you realise that there's 

much more to the game than running around 

like a blue-assed fly — you can't finish the 

game that way and you actually have to use 

your Isom* (Ws lust a question of whether you 

can really be bothered). The gams really 

comes into Ws own in two-player — mindless 

dashing around like crazy can be fun and is In 

Wiz and 1.1x. This game's not the classiest 

thing I've ever seen nor the best but We a 

ood laugh and worth a look.

CLIMAXING 

At the end of each set of lands, it is your 

reword/punishment to face a huge boss creature, 

and finally get to use some destructive magic. Look 

out for a killer Pot Plant, a Snake and a big skull 

with groping bits. 

TWO'S t 

, COMPANY 

Wiz and Liz don't meet in solo games, but two may 

play head-to-head. The screen splits horizontally to 

show the action of both players. The aim is simple: 

get out of the level first. Players play for control of a 

fixed number of lands, with best of three rounds in 

each. There's no spell petit to the game.

The fourth, selectable stage of

through the melee that protects 

it, Red and Blue encounter something 

that is unexpected within — 

The Dice Palace. Here is where 

Gunstar Heroes flies right off the 

sensible scale and lands in 

Choosville for good. A boardgame-like 

display is presented, a 

dice is thrown ond the 'lumber 

dictates the fate of the player. 

Lucky heroes may find themselves 

in the 'Happy Item Room' 

where a small selection of 

weapons and energy replocements 

are laid out. Elsewhere 

things get rather more serious! 

'Curry and Rice' — a kind of 

mutant Mr Puff Pastry — challenges 

Red or Blue to a session of 

unarmed combat. Volvalion is a 

swirling, golden serpent which 

traps an unwary hero under its

there's no danger of finding

game! Other than the path 

that Red and Blue tread, 

pretty much everything else 

on screen is alive and dangerous! 

The acrobatics that 

the central characters display 

add to the excitement 

and their determined 

stances strengthens the 

player's resolve in helping 

them win. Success isn't easy 

either, and there's no doubt 

that the completion of this 

game requires a lot of skill 

with a pinch of luck. The 

Seven Force is an absolute 

nightmare! Just like the 

kind of roller-coasters that 

bear warnings for people 

with nervous dispositions 

and the like, you'd better 

prepare yourself for a real 

white-knuckle ride with 

Gunstar Heroes because it's 

that amazing! 

PUNCH: The least impressive of oil moves but still pretty useful 

against the likes of Curry and Rice (one of the bosses in Black's base) 

HANGING: No, Red and Blue don't charge around with a noosill 

at the ready! Their hanging tactics involve dangling from one 0 

7arm whilst blasting their enemies with the gun in the other.

RAD 

Gunstar 

Heroes is 

one of the 

most incredible 

games 

I've ever 

seen on the 

Mega drive. 

The graphics 

are fantastic, 

with 

an amazing 

depth of detail and a lot of 

attention paid to the animation. 

Later levels see 

remarkable displays of 

scaling and rotation that 

put even the Super NES to 

shame, such is their brilliance. 

The sound matches 

the standard of the graphics 

with a huge variety of 

crunchy, thrashy tunes 

holding the atmosphere of 

the action and really booming, 

echoing explosions. 

And for once the gameplay 

matches the high standard 

of presentation. There's so 

much variety in Gunstar, 

every level is completely 

different, going from a 

deadly board game to 

piloting a space fighter. 

There's loads of cool 

weapons too, which is lust 

as well because there's zillions 

of enemies too. The 

Iwo-player option really 

rounds everything off, and 

there's not so much as a 

hint of slow-down even 

when the screen is completely 

packed. Gunstar 

Heroes most definitely is 

Ribena, in fact, it's E5000 

worth of Harry the Lime 

flavour. Camp outside your 

local software palace until 

this is released and buy it 

immediately. 

A 

IEUEN SEIZURE 

One reason why ft is essential to experience 

Gunstar Heroes first-hand is the appearance of 

the Seven Force. This seven-stage boss encountered 

in the Underground Mine scares you senseless! 

As a taster of whot is to come here's a brief 

low-down on this multiple-monster, piloted by 

that scummy traitor, Green: 

Soldier Force: Green swoops into view aboard 

floating platform and immediately calls upon 

power of the stones to form a two-legged, running 

machine that attacks by using its arms as 

boomerangs and an extendible battering ram, 

Tails Force: ails' somersault assault drains the 

heroes' energy away like crazy. Fortunately its 

lightning Zap is less of a problem. 

Tiger Force: This incarnation bomber 

ḥeroes with a sight-activated laser — 

or Blue ore locked-on they're for it, so I I 

keep them moving! Tiger follows this u 

Trace Zapper which predicts its trajectory with a 

fine guideline. 

Eagle:

COMMENT 

It seems 

like a pretty 

daft idea 

bringing 

out a 

Wimbledon 

license 

months 

after the 

tournament. 

Still, 

)h 

matter if i the game was great 

stuff. Unfortunately ll 

it isn't. 

The problem 

i 

is Its lust too 

slow. The players feel like 

they're 

t 

dragging their heels 

and the wball sometimes drifts 

like Ws oin low gravity. Also, 

the movement 

u 

of the screen is 

particularly 

l 

bad and often 

the player at the bottom of 

the screen d becomes cropped 

making nit very difficult to 

receive ' the ball And to top it 

all, the collision t detection 

tends is a bit ropey. Many's 

the lime when the ball is 

quite obviously out, but the 

Umpire (with his Davros- 

'tutu° voice) falls to notice 

Overall, the game isn't that 

bad. The graphics and spoteffects 

ore okay and it is fairly 

playable. There's already a 

better game available, Davis 

Cup. Buy that instead.

COURT DRAMA 

To odd to that realistic Wimbledon feel, the programmers 

have included a number of neat little 

touches. For instance, the audience claps at a 

shot, players break their rockets in irritation or 

prance around in joy and there are oven those 

FOUR-PLAY ON THE GRASS! 

Most tennis games have a two-player option and this game is 

no exception. However, Wimbledon Tennis actually allows up to 

four-players to join in a game. Through the use of Sego's soonto-be-released 

Sega Top, a game of doubles can be played with 

four real players taking part. Beware though, four players may 

quadruple the action, but it can also cause severe trauma as 

you helplessly watch your inept partner spoon a vital shot.

•ROBINSON'S BARLEY WATER 

,There's tennis and there's Wimbledon, the 

t famous tennis tournament in the world. 

's Wimbledon Tennis lets you take part in 

championship against seven other opponents. 

Each has individual strengths and weak 

nesses in such departments as serve power, 

footwork, forehond and backhand control. 

Starting in the quarter-finals, the game progresses 

to the semi-finals and then finally, the 

centre court showdown. There's even a password 

option so that you can take a break from 

the tournament whenever you wish 

Robinson's Barley Water-drinking ball boys on 

hand to collect stray balls. What's more, the 

players even break out in a sweat when they

lies in collecting pods 

that float by, with numbers 

attached. The number 

relates to what 

weapon type is found

be upgraded to be more 

effective. To upgrade collect 

the same numbered 

pod as a weapon you 

already possess. Here's

SHY SHIPS

their only weakness is their slow

The second levels are set in a theme pork which is 

more unfair than Fun Fair. Flash is at home on the 

Switchback, but flying saucer patrols lurk. Crusher 

gates must be negotiated on this level, but both 

sections hove nifty secret passages that bypass most 

of the dangerous bits. 


Sometimes games lie upon a knife-edge of 

like and hate. I've felt both ways about 

Flash whilst playing it. It looks quite good 

for a Master System game, not as polished 

as Mickey Mouse or Sonic, put plenty onscreen 

and fast-moving. The levels are 

large and have more than one route, which 

gives a sense of space and freedom to the 

game. Secret passages, and a range of 

bonus items add variety to the speedy platform 

format. Right, that's the like part. But 

Gus 

sometimes this game is bonkin' infuriating! 

The traps can be nasty, and the aims of some levels obscure. 

Some hair-tearing is guaranteed. Occasionally It looks and 

Lplays crap, but on balance Flash is really quite cool.

from another species, separate the DNA and thus 

pre-create a monster from the misty and distant

contained and unable to put Chuck's contemporaries 

in danger, Chuck set up a vast reserve. It was 

a success. Thousands upon millions of curious

This Megodrive plotform game sees Chuck 

Junior bosh his way through six levels, each one 

split into o number of zones. As well as clubbing 

the endless enemies on his toil, there ore plenty of 

power-ups for Junior to coiiad, a whole variety of 

creatures to use as transport and bonus levels to 

master. So.._ save Daddy and 

save the day!

lUBLIC 

IRANSPORT 

While most of Chuck Junior's 

environment is swamped by 

creatures bent on thwarting his 

rescue, there ore still some souls 

who hove it in their hearts to 

help the valiant toddler out. 

Junior can jump on a host of 

animals and ride around on 

them. This might enable him to 

reach power ups otherwise 

out of his 

reach, or 

mean he is protected 

from 

spikes or enemies. 

In the case of the 

prehistoric ostrich it 

means that 

Junior moves a 

lot faster and is 

able to make 

giant leaps. 

This is very slick indeed. As 

can clearly be seen by the 

screen shots Chuck Rock II 

scores full marks for graphics. 

It's swarming with colour 

and crowded with huge 

detailed sprites. There are 

loads of clever and amusing 

touches - the Brontosaurus 

eating a caveman, enticing 

ROB 

monkeys with bananas, the 

level that takes place purely 

in torch light and so on. The gameplay reflects 

an equal devotion to quality, the controls 

being quick and the movement smooth. 

Beneath all this though, Chuck Rock II is still 

lust another platform game, borrowing all of 

the previous tried and tested techniques and 

offering nothing new to the genre. It is a fun 

game to play, but if you're very familiar with 

platformers the whole thing will no doubt 

seem very out worn. Chuck Rock II manages to 

ovoid the trap of making everything too simple 

(although it's best to avoid the easy level) 

and there is genuine incentive to make 

progress, but once I had made it through 

much of the game and got over feelings of 

smug satisfaction, there's no getting over the 

fact that this is just another game likely to join 

the platform mountain. If you feel you're short 

on platform experience Chuck Rock II won't 

fail to fulfil. If, on the other hand you've 

already had a gutful, I can't see how this 

game will prove all that different. 

ON THE 

CLUB SCENE 

Junior has his father's talent for 

clubbing and it's a good job too 

because he has to make use of it 

very often indeed. On top of the 

usual forward strike, Junior can 

also bash downwards by jumping 

first. Another little trick that the 

clever half pint is capable of 

pulling off is balancing on his 

club. This ability comes in useful 

when Junior finds himself faced 

with objects moving towards him 

that he can't destroy like boulders 

or spits of fire. He gets on 

his club and they fly right by 

eaving him unharmed At one 

stage Junior can even set fire to 

the end of his club to see what's 

going on in dark caverns.

Yes it's 

another 

platform 

game, but 

let's not get 

all narrowminded 

about such 

a stoneaged 

concept! 

There 

are many 

original features lurking in 

Junior's prehistoric journey 

and hundreds of sight gags 

to accompany them. Junior 

himself is a laughably cute 

character but, as with his 

father's quest, the humour 

doesn't stop there. It's like 

playing through a Flintstones 

cartoon as scruffy looking 

dinosaurs are batted about 

the head, rocks smashed and 

monkeys fed to great effect. 

All this prevents the action 

from being overly predictable. 

To further this cause 

the bonus stages are lively 

and fun, adding variation to 

the overall•mix of good taste. 

Son of Chuck is quite different 

from the usual standards set 

by platform games in general. 

It offers some new ideas 

and presents them all in as 

fine a way as possible. 

Though Son of Chuck hasn't 

made me go ga-ga it didn't 

take much for my growing to 

like it a great deal. Check it

BONUSAU 

RUS 

There are o number of bonus levels in Chuck Rock II that enable 

Junior to accumulate more life. The first bonus screen involves Junior 

jumping on the back of particularly spongy onimal and trying to knock 

all the apples from a tree. The second bonus section is a little water 

race involving lots of rapid button boshing. Another bonus stage 

involves the ole button bashing technique again as Junior takes to 

carving out a figure of his pop, and finally there is a mine cort section 

where Junior has to survive until the ride is over. 

"Knock off" all of the apples in order to beat the bonus round. 

Items that Junior can 

either pick up or make use 

of on his travels. Here is a 

selection of some of them. 

,m14 J I M 

As you 

might expect, this restores 

Junioes energy. Milk bottles 

are often hidden in or 

between blocks and other 

obscure places so always 

check every nook. 

Rftr Certain large 

rocks are movable. By 

jumping on them Junior 

can reach the otherwise 

unreachable, or by placing 

them in a bed of nails he 

avoids iniury. 

These simply 

give Junior bonus points 

that are converted into 

extra life when he scores 

enough.

- obvious,these only prove 

useful when there are 

monkeys around. They can 

be used to entice monkeys 

to a particular spot where

C9MPETITRIE 

ELEMENT 

Aerobiz is for one to four players. 

There are always four airlines 

competing, with the computer 

controlling any vacant slots. Each 

player selects a home city to 

start, and begins to create a network 

from there. Al the end of 

each quarter and the year, a 

comparative graph shows the 

performance of each airline. The 

winner is the player who reaches 

the goals of profit, passengers 

and cities first. There are five 

computer difficulty levels.

gone into a 

complex 

and realistic 

simulation 

that I haven't been able 

to stop playing. Despite the 

complex rules, it's incredibly 

easy to pick up. It might 

sound a tedious idea, but 

with multiple players it soon 

turns into a commercial battle, 

with all sorts of dirty 

tricks used to boost profits 

and put your opponents out 

of business. The control system 

makes play a little slow 

and laborious at times, but 

it's clearly set out. There's 

loads of depth to this simulation, 

but the most important 

fact is that it plays in a logical 

and rewarding way. Only 

strategy boffins will appreciate 

the quality of this purely 

strategic game, but it's a real 

gem.

is about as close to

incredible rote of knots. 

What's more the controls feel just right Os you 

weave your truck about, powering off ramps 

into the air, bouncing off the walls. It's spoton. 

The only major difference is that some of 

the tracks are different from their coin-op 

counterparts. However, this game's main 

problem is that it's a little too easy. By swapping 

all your credits for cash right at the 

beginning, you can notch up your top-speed 

to the max, making it fairly easy to beat your 

opponents even on the HARD setting. This 

isn't such a problem in two-player mode

JUMP AROUND! 

Because all of the players wear special equipment there are a few 

little tricks they can pull off, one of which is on uncanny ability to 

iump exceedingly high. This means that hits that would otherwise 

be heading for the stands con be reached. The best way to judge 

when to jump is to watch the ball's shadow on the pitch. There are 

jump zones that line the fences and enable the fielder to jump 

even higher than normal in an attempt to catch the really big hits_

on whether you pick 

Rookie, Pilot, Veteran or

featured, with you flying to bomb

bases and then giving it to

Missions ore compiled from a list 

of potential targets, with a primary 

and secondary selected for 

each run. This gives a random 

element to the game, with hundreds 

of possible target combinations. 

The more you play, the further 

you hove to travel. Luckily, 

the game has a 'Time Warp' 

facility to speed up travel over 

long distances.

F-15 is the

serious

after Mig-

better. The 

update isn't 

as fast, and 

graphically, 

G U S the game is 

quite drab 

and indistinct, but the handling 

of the plane is more 

responsive and logical than 

Domark's effort. To be honest, 

even though I found F-15 

to be well put together and 

strong on detail, I got quite 

bored playing it (though not 

frustrated). Despite having 

six theatres, you spend your 

time interacting with much 

the same weaponry, and not 

the landscape. In this way it 

lacks the variety and interest 

of LHX Attack Chopper, which 

is still the best flight combat 

sim on Megadrive. Flight fans 

should still take a look.

This was 

originally a 

brilliant PC 

game and 

the basic 

concept of 

the game 

has translated 

well 

to the 

Megadrive. 

Although 

the action is a tad on the 

'samey' side, there are plenty 

of missions to undertake and 

different difficulty levels to 

heighten the simulation's 

accuracy. So, F-15 is rather 

smart eh? Well, um, not 

exactly. The PC version was 

absolutely fob.- on a swift 

mega-spec PC, but was very 

slow and jerky on a less 

impressive machine. The 

Megadrive just doesn't have 

the raw mathematical power 

to bring this game off. The 

result is a simulation that's 

slow to update and doesn't 

exactly convey supersonic 

speeds! A nice try though and 

better than Domork's MiG-29 

— but EA's LHX Attack 

Chopper is still the ultimate 

game of its type. 

VIEW TO A KILL 

In common with other flight sims, 

F-15 lets you toggle your viewpoint 

of the gome ot any lime 

The range of views is about the 

most extensive yet: you may look 

in any directions from your plane 

as well as going external and following 

the track of your missile 

or seeing the 'chose' view of your 

plane. 

CHUTE TO KILL 

If the heat's too much, your 

plane has an ejector seat that 

lets you drift safely to the ground 

in a parachute, but it's not an 

option that's going to win you 

any medals Trash three planes 

and you will be 'retired' for being 

to expensive' 

A EN the fields, you must kill Me fields.

bar, this reduces steadily with time, 

and even more quickly as Polterguy 

possesses oblects. When the Ecto bar

LONG TERM REPORT

OH 

NOW GO, WALK 

OUT THE DOOR 

The aim of the game is to scare the family out 

of each room, and eventually the house. By 

possessing objects, each person gets gradually 

more freaked until they run out the room 

screaming. The reword for this is bonus Edo. If 

Polterguy pursues them consistently, they'll lose 

their nerve and run right out the house. Once 

everyone has fled, Polterguy moves to their 

next abode. 

%Pi IATEVER 

POSSESSED 

YOU? 

Possessing objects is easy. From where 

Polterguy is standing, some objects are 

marked with a glowing cursor. If A is pressed, 

Polterguy leaps into the object, and then back 

oat. Soon the object starts to tremble, attracting 

the attention of anyone in the room. When 

they approach something horrific happens. 

Possessions ore either one-off events (like the 

shark in the fish tank) or you may hove control 

over a poltergeist obiect for some time.

Haunting's

G U S above the pile of 

derivative platformers that 

make up the majority of 'new 

releases'. Even better it's 

original to the Megodrive, 

not some computer conversion. 

The presentation and 

humour is top-notch — utterly 

superb graphics and really 

ingenious spook effects. Add 

to that the brilliant kitsch 

score and sampled effects 

and Haunting justifies itself 

as the best programmed 

game since Ecco. But the only 

doubtful part of it all is the 

gameplay itself. Scaring is 

great fun, but that part of the 

game doesn't provide any 

real challenge. You can't die 

as such, only run out of Ecto 

and be forced to return to the 

underworld. That section is 

the only part that can kill you 

off — but it's also the dullest 

section by far, and isn't much 

fun. Because of this, I think 

Haunting won't have enough 

lasting-appeal for 'serious' 

garners, but as a family game 

it's 'dead' good, and EA

I can't tell you how

by the masses of

That's why I thoroughly 

enjoyed the 

new EA release 

that is Haunting. 

The concept of

members and 

scaring the cock out of them is an 

utterly original concept. The level of 

humour is superb. The brilliant samples, 

coupled with the fabulous comical 

effects make this a game that 

you'll come back to again and again 

until you've seen the entire game. 

However, like Gus says, once you've 

seen the entire game, some doubt 

lingers as to whether you'll come 

back for more. As It is, if you're as 

bored as I am with the usual mounds 

of platformers and shooters, go for 

Haunting. Having seen this brave 

step EA have taken in producing 

something new, I implore other comanies 

to follow their lead.

THE PROMONYARY 

This remote strip of land is reached 

by raft from Ryumu, Inside are 

sacred relics of the golden goddess 

set around a tranquil pool and 

spectacular waterfall. However, the 

setting has been defiled by thieves 

arid kidnappers, using the place as 

a base, and preparing elaborate 

ball and spike traps for unwelcome 

visitors.

Megadrive 

moaners 

are always 

saying the 

best games 

on the 

machine 

are groovy 

and 

playable 

but often 

too shallow. 

Silence, fools! 

Landstalker is lavish, actionpacked, 

taxing and extremely 

deep. In just about every 

department: graphics, playability, 

game plot and size. 

Landstalker defers to nothing 

else. The programmers have 

produced a really solid-looking 

isometric 3D, with amazing 

stone and wood textures. 

There's a vast variety of locations 

and landscapes, each 

with it's own excellent soundtrack. 

But Landstalker is 

made a classic by the 

involved plot that surrounds 

your adventuring. The story 

adds another dimension to 

exploring the vast dungeon 

areas, making it as much a 

brain game as an action 

adventure. The more you 

play, the more you realise 

this is by far the best adventure 

game on the Megadrive.

MEGADRIVE 

Landstalker

any 

Ing 

achievets 

but 

meg 

very 

rent 

the 

Megadrive. At ti fi nd 

that the odd pe v e 

employed is confusing — 

platforms that appear in one 

position may lie in another. 

Pitfalls often prove lethal as 

Nigel's journey progresses so 

this becomes a bit irritating. 

Other than that the game is a 

marvel. Not only is it visually 

magnificent but the interaction 

between characters is 

always entertaining with a 

great line in humour supplying 

light relief on occasion. 

Every location in the vast 

adventure is richly depicted 

with as much core applied to 

background images as the 

main players. Consequently 

the eyes are always entertained 

by places and characters 

visited many times 

before in the course of exploration. 

Sego also provide an 

outstanding musical score, 

yet again, with a consistently 

good mix of soothing madrigals 

and rousing marches. 

Landstalker is guaranteed 

classic status in no time at all.

The largest town on the island, Mercator boasts 

all sorts of attractions. The town is on expensive 

place to stay, due to the high taxes imposed by 

Duke Mercator, the undisputed ruler of these 

parts. The guards surrounding Mercator are 

quite choosy about who they let in. Sightseers 

shouldn't miss:

hey, giant frail! Great! 

he most famous and distinguished 

of fish — EA's Pond, 

James Pond is back for his fourth 

adventure on the Megadrive in 

James Pond III: Operation 

Starfish. 

Not being a complete soddies, 

we at MEAN MACHINES 

refuse to trot out the usual line of 

fish puns and instead will tell it 

like it is The evil Dr Maybe has 

returned to create havoc in the 

world. His new cunning plan is to 

mine yogurts, ice cream and 

cheese from the moon's rich supply, 

monopolise 

and change the 

face of the dairy 

market os we 

know it. Milky, 

milky! FISH has 

discovered his 

plot and has 

sent their top 

agent, Pond, to sort him out. 

Armed with a stack of special 

powers such as suction boots to 

mount any surface, a fruit suit 

which doubles as a deadly 

weapon if he rolls on the enemy, 

skis, rocket boots and anti-gravity 

boots. Pond also drives a lunar 

buggy, a drilling machine, a 

giant moon-worm and a minirocket. 

The game also introduces 

Pond's new side-kick, Finnius 

Frog and follows their quest for 

the world's salvation. Tune in 

next month for further updates.

G rob royal your pucking sticks with and a get cool ready new for sports the a sim right sequel 

on the Megodrive from Electronic Arts — NHL 

Hockey '94_ 

The game is similar in may ways to the lost EA 

hockey title — Nhil.PA Hockey '93 but is set to revolutionise 

sports sims with the added feature of 

being compatible with EA's spanking new 4-WAY. 

PLAY which allows up to four players to battle it out 

at once. When we first saw this game way back 

when, two players could compete on she same side 

but one of them had to be the goalie all the time 

while the other did all the rushing about which 

would have been pretty naff and fairly dull for the 

goalie. But now it's been adapted so that both players 

can play all position. 

This sequel is much faster and includes a manual 

goalie option so the player, not the computer, 

can be solely to blame if the goals fly in. The 13-meg 

cart also includes 'one-timer' volley shots for the 

forwards, penalty shots within the game, a penalty 

shoot-out option, new crowd animations and battery 

back up to save up to seven players' place. 

Tune in soon for the full review!

1. ROLL IT UP VERY TIGHTLY AND STICK IT TOGETHER WITH SELLOTAPE. COAT IT IN RICH 

DARK BROWN PAINT AND WAIT PVT IT TO DRY. ONCE THE PAINT HAS DRIED, STICK ONE END 

IN YOUR MOUTH AND LIGHT THE OTHER, AND STROLL AROUND SAYING SMUGLY TO YOUR 

FRIENDS, "I LOVE IT WHEN A PLAN COMES TOGETHER!" 

2. TAKE IT BACK TO THE NEWSAGENTS AND SWAP IT FOR THE LATEST COPY OF 'HELLO!' 

3. SOAK IT IN WATER AND LEAVE IT TO DRY. WHILE IT'S DRYING, PLACE BETS WITH YOUR 

MATES AS TO HOW MANY RIPPLES ARE LIKELY TO HAVE DEVELOPED ON THE FRONT COVER. 

4. SIT ON A BUS AND READ IT ALOUD IN AN OUTRAGEOUS ITALIAN ACCENT, OCASSIONALLY 

THROWING IT TO THE FLOOR, LEAVING YOU FREE TO WAVE YOUR ARMS IN EXASPERATION. 

6. HOLD IT IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE. THEN CLOSE YOUR LEFT EYE AND RIGHT EYE 

ALTERNATELY AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S MOVING! 

7. STAPLE IT TO YOUR CHIN TO AVOID LOSING IT. IF YOU'RE REALLY LUCKY, PEOPLE MIGHT 

COMMEND YOU ON WHAT THEY THINK IS A TECHNICOLOUR BEARD. 

B. STAPLE IT TO YOUR FOREHEAD TO AVOID LOSING IT. IF YOU'RE REALLY LUCKY YOU 

WON'T DIE. 

9. DRESS IT IN BABY CLOTHES AND TAKE IT EVERYWHERE. WHEN ANYBODY ASKS WHAT IT IS, 

SAY IT'S YOUR SPECIAL MAGIC FRIEND 'MAGAZINE MAX'. 

10. READ IT BECAUSE IT REALLY IS RATHER GOOD!...NAH, THAT'S A PRETTY STUPID IDEA. (AK 

AK GUFFAW!) 

SO ANOTHER GREAT CHAPTER IN MEAN MACHINES HISTORY COMES TO A CLOSE. THE LAST 

FLAME OF THE ISSUE DRAWS TOWARDS ITS ASHEN COFFIN. BUT FEAR NOT BRETHREN. WE ARE
