Badooooing! Move over Zebedee, here's Pogo - a sproingy character, the star of Ocean s second Power Tape game, and it's an absolutely addictive high!
P
ogo is a small roundish kinda happening which just happens to have a springs for legs. Super bounce gets Pogo to leap and bound his way through 16 levels of pyramid power. Based on the arcade coin-op of old, CTbert, Pogo has to be seen to be believed. Pyramids built from 28 hexagonal-shaped steps in 3-D must have their top surfaces recoloured to match the colour shown at the top-left of the screen. To achieve this Pogo must spring from step to step, each touch down changing its colour. He'd better not spring too far — bounding off the edge of the
pyramid loses a lifel Vicious creatures stalk the pyramids, and Pogo must do his best to avoid their attacks. Although devoid of fire power Pogo can leap onto hyperspatial spinners, located one each side of the pyramids. They transport Pogo to the top of the maze again, and get beasties to fling themselves off the edges to their doom as a bonus. Har har! (Evil laugh!!!). Depending on the screen level, Pogo will have to change the colour of the steps once or twice. O n the first five screens only one colour must be changed, but from screen five onwards two! Blee! And Pogo can whack up his bonus score for any hyperspatial spinners not used. Good for him, eh?
CONTROLO-GO-GO Put a spring in your step using keys 1 = up/left, zero = up/right. Caps Shift = down/left, Break » down/right. Which is all very well on an old rubber 48K jobbie, but on any other Speccy might prove a bit tricky: so use a joystick! Pogo is compatible with Kempston, Sinclair or a Protek interface. Play this and Christmas need never come...
CRASH NOVEMBER • 5
Freeze your blood.
from Mastertronic
Remember Thriller,the video with Michael Jackson? (Ancient history, w e know...) Unbelievable though It is, Chiller Is a story which, yes... w e know: life can ape art...
A
ction starts in a forest, moves to a cinema, ghetto, a graveyard and finally a shack (well, actually a mansion now). Chiller has a touch of the old Hollywood horror film: boy meets girl, boy loses girl to the gremlins, boy (this is your bit now) sets off to rescue his girl before she... Erm. before it's too late. To get down to basics: Chiller is a platform game played over five screens. Start off in a forest with the task to collect all crosses scattered around, while avoiding contact with any of the ghouls, including (believe us) just about anything that moves. Collide with 'em and your energy, shown on a bar line, decreases. You only live once, so it's important to keep your energy levels high, — done by eating mushrooms (not the purple ones — they look rather unpleasant and actually make you ill), if you've collected all the crosses you can move to the next screen. O n every screen the same horror awaits you: collect the crosses, eat the mushrooms and avoid the ghouls. A neverending nightmare. Should you, against all odds we must warn you, escape from the forest, you must battle your way through the next four screens before you have any chance of rescuing your girl — and dare we say it: indulge in a bit of snogging.
from Gremlin Graphics
We've had Moles, Birdies and dlddery old m e n from Gremlin o n the C R A S H Power Tapes, and n o w here's a Stoat! A bit of a rascal is this b u r g l a r and he's gonna give you the chance to muck about in the snootiest residences of Gremlinville!

Unfortunately your dream come true has rather stupidly taken up a position on the roof of the Mansion. We can all be forgiven for panic decisions, but having collected all the objects and climbed up to meet her expecting
6 • CRASH NOVEMBER
n the poshest street in town there are four houses; Sam has to enter one of the four houses (house one easy, house four hard), and locate a bomb plus match to blow the safe, and escape. Escape is only possible if you have collected the diamond necklace carelessly left lying on the floor. Finding the bomb means it will follow you
around. Points are awarded for picking up any other valuables you may come across. Each house has a series of rooms interlinked with each other, but the inhabitants all have a severe dose of sleepwalking, and are joined by other other odd creatures like vicious gnomes, drunks, bouncing bed springs, spiders, bats and more. They tend to eat away Stoat's energy, indicated bottom of screen by a 'Bloodometer', Finding Stoat Healing Elixir will replenish it. Once the diamond has been collected. Sam can leave the house through the mousehole, and find himself by a large lake with five pillars standing in it. The
three middle ones rise and lal in a rhythm which makes leaping from one to the other rather difficult, considering that falling into the water is fatal. Sam's adventures take him through 80 screens, 2 0 per house. II he blows the lot sky high he'll be the richest stoat alive (which isn't too difficult, as Stoats are renowned for carrying zilch money around!)
STOATING ABOUT To control Sam Stoat, use either Kempston or Sinclair joystick interfaces. On keys use Q / W left /right. P/L up/down B so SPACE to jump or enter a house.

! to 8 players set in a 7 aside TVTournament can your team take . masses ot decisions to make in th.s ANOTHER STUNNING CRASH READER GAME!! By Nutty Software A
n
d
now for something completely different and...nutty: a wonderful mickeytake of Action Force III Farce or not, it's kool. Take a look in the mirror, what d'you see? Youl Yes, you're S.P. O'Nadge (say it out loud...) hero for a day! Well, a hopeful hero, as you set out to defeat enemy forces in the latest piece of military equipment — the Bouncytank (makes you feel confident; realty hi-tech). Cue music, sound effects, wide screen: It thunders across the countryside! It rampages through the towns! It leaps tall buildings with surprising agility! Impressed? Erm, yeah. This tank can jump! Sadly it can't fire — you forgot to collect the shells...! Another techno reason why the Bouncytank can't fire is due to its cannon being made of rubber, — the wobbles as the tank moves... Seriously, what we have here is a neat platform game, with puzzles to solve here and there. Objects scattered around help you complete them, and a scrolling message at the top gives you clues. Items are picked up as you go over them - unless the cargo space is full. To use. drop, or leave an object use the Function option which leads through into the menu and a graphic display of the cargo hold. However, due to a. erm, 'programming difficulty' (it says here, it IS a farce, after all) once an object is dropped it cannot be picked up again. To get round this problemette, simply jump up, and press the function key before you hit the ground. You should now be able to pick the item back up! Trek through the maze of
8 • CRASH NOVEMBER
screens, and at the end of the chaos you hit upon a piggin' huge tank - which you must destroy (Squeal!). Move on out! CONTROLLING YOUR BOUNCYTANK Keyboard controls only, but at least they're definable. You need up, down, left, right, jump and a function key. T O GET YOU STARTED So you don't end up getting stuck straight away here's some hints to get you round the first puzzle: On the first screen pick up the oil can on the far left of the screen. Go right until you come up against a wall. See the clue message - 'Oi'll help you'? Good. Select function and USE the oil can here. Hey presto! The wall has vanished! Just like that. For my next trick... JUST HOW NUTTY IS NUTTY?! Reasonably nutty, that's all. Nutty Software, who produced Action Farce II are Colin Davis, Philip Clayton and John Hailing from Liden near Swindon. Colin is apparently 'very good at everything' and did most of the code and graphics, and John helped with the code and provided heaps of tea for Phil who also worked on the coding. At the moment they're working on a few more humorous games, including a sequel to this. They're hoping to take up programming as a job, so if any software houses like the look of this, give CRASH a ring and we'll pass you onto the Nutty trio. John Colin Phil (weird!)

Crime City Taito
No APB is called at the beginning of this action packed game, neither is a swanky black Porsche 928 Turbo in evidence. But the heroes of Chase H Q are back: Tony Gibson and Ray Brody are on the streets and looking for trouble. And trouble is never far away when you run around wielding a police badge and a huge Colt .45 automatic. So alone or together the dynamic duo stalk the streets of this multi level game hunting
down the criminals of Crime City. Jail breakers, knife-wielding punks, thugs living as if machine guns, shot guns or Magnums were the be it and end all, they all need to be apprehended or wiped out. It's sleazy and tough, and some underworld crawlies are meaner than others. Arrest scum and that's good, but get your hands on drug hauls and points come flooding in. Bottles of booze top up flagging energy, but hitting certain riffraff gets you shortlived use of more powerful weaponry than usual. Where guns are useless, good old fashioned martial arts come

Big league stuff this: Save the Solar System from the ravening alien hordes etc. etc. You've been chosen to be the brave pilot to kick some scaly backside, and there's no backing out. But you can take a friend along for the ride. The fun starts on the Sun (really believable, guys, but this is an arcade game), where alien

into play. Be prepared to slog it over bonnets and rooves of fast moving cars to get your target. Show 'em crime doesn't pay, and make coin-ops a fortune in the process. Crime City is a good old fashioned 'blast the baddies to bits' type game that will keep you pumping the fire button until you complete it. And watch out for the new Chase HQ game that should be appearing in your local arcade soon, it's great.

hordes greet you with laser cannon and missiles. Your ship being no slouch either, you^let rip. Alien fire isn't all you must dodge however. It's a case of avoiding from the frying pan into the fire: large sheets of flame leap up from the surface of the Sun (shades of Salamander), and huge boulders threaten to pulp you. Add to this the obligatory end of level nasty and it all sounds as if you've played this before. There's as many levels as there are planets in the Solar System (work it out), and you get a choice which path to salvation you want to take. Sayani is played on two—screen 'cinemascope', which is not that novel — Ninja Warriors and Darius used three — but helps gameptay.yonder. Some very pretty back drops and tough end of level opponents are worth a few coins, but don't expect Sayani to hold your attention indefinitely. It really just boils down to a pretty shoot-'em-up.
pretty mean fireball at the attacking waves, but keep the fire button down and a truly awesome bolt of energy shoots out and destroys all in its path. You aren't exactly helpless either, with a crossbow and and unlimited supply of arrows to shoot down agressors. But watch it, although the dragon is virtually indestructible, you aren't. Contact with attackers is seriously fatal and loses you one of your meagre stock of lives. Thank the gods: your dragon has a viciously mobile tail. It very effectively deflects attacks on your frail bod. Don't get too cocky though, the nasties come In large swarms and aren't that easily swept aside. As a with all good blast-'emups power pods can be collected from vanquised foes to increase your offensive and defensive capabilities. Graphically and sonically Dragon Breed is very good, and the action's fast and frenetic. Take a look next time you're down your local arcade.
U.N. Squadron Capcom
Far away in a small country no one has ever heard of or cares about a criminal cartel calling itself Project 4 was born. Started by a group of villains who decided the best way to maximise their profits was to band together, it now threatens world peace.
A unit designed to crush the might of Project 4 is quickly formed and named the U.N. Squadron. You (and a friend, if you like) can join up: Take the role of any of three characters — Shin Kazam, Mike Simon and Greg Gates, each with different strengths and weaknesses and each piloting a different aircraft. Destroy Project 4's base I It's heavily defended, with great tanks, gun turrets, missiles and helicopters pouring all the fire they've got at you. Battle is engaged on a detailed horizontally scrolling screen, and it's fast and furious. But nothing like the end of level superweapons! I only ever reached the end of level one and the missile spewing tank there was indestructible: maybe I'm not as mean and tough as I thought. The main characters look like they've been lifted from a Japanese kiddies cartoon, but forget that. The rest looks and acts only too realistically. Definitely worth a blastl
Dragon Breed Irem
Imagine R-Type set in a mythological land: This would be my rough description of Dragon Breed. Guide our brave little hero and his huge fire breathing protector through level after level of vile nasties whose only purpose in life is to kill you (I can't read Japanese, so I don't know quite why. probably because they feel very mean). Your reptilian steed slings out a

LETTER OF THE MONTH CRASH WEDDING Dear Uoyd After all thesie years of buying C R A S H ( a n d believe you me it's an anniversary for me but I'm not telling which;), I've finally bucked up the couraige to write to you. I thought you'id like to know I'm probably o n e of the oldest C R A S H readers, and guess what, I'm getting married this month, and he loves me for my Speccy games (okay, stop being sick out there because it's so... romantic). And no it's not the only reason, because we' ve both got different computers. His brothers have an Atari ST, and even his 84 year old granny likes computer games. So who said TV is killing the art of conversation? Regards Jan a n d the Mob, Romford Essex. PS W e need the £40 for more games (crawl, crawl) Nice to hear that the Speccy and C R A S H have brought you happiness, Jan. Don't computers stop civilised conversation? Judging by all the swearing in the Towers, I have m y — AAAGH! Stop it, Roberts! Enjoy the wedding present! LM
COMPLETE 007 Dear Lloyd So Nick thinks it should be 'Licence to make the player jolly mad' does he?, I think it should be 'Licence to complete'. I am of course talking about Licence To Kill from Domark. After reading your review in CRASH issue 68,1 thought 'oh good, a nice challenging game'. So I popped into my local computer store and forked out ten quid. When I got home I loaded up the game and had a few goes. About an hour later I had nanaged to reach the final level. After a further few attempts I had completed it. To prove It here is the message that appears — 'Well done James,

you have smashed Sanchez's evil drugs empire.' So how about it Nick?, by the way I think C R A S H is brilliant. Yours sincerely Colin Chapman, Selkirk, Scotland I personally think Nick lacks real arcade skills, and O U C H ! LM Next time I'm in Selkirk, I'll show you just what I think of smartyboots — Nick
PUBLIC SPIRIT Dear Lloyd I am in the process of setting up a Spectrum Public Domain library at the moment, although I am still slightly short of contributions. Due to this I am appealing to fellow C R A S H readers. The sorts of things I'm looking for are music utilities, games, pictures and fonts and any unusual programs. Anyone who submits a program will receive a free catalogue and some free programs of their choice. So if you want to contribute, or receive the catalogue just write (and send an SAE) to: Robert Blackmore, Estate Stores, Hambleton View, Alder Close, Sturminster Newton, Dorset DT10 1AL Nice initiative, Robert. Make sure all contributions are genuine reader originals, though! Or else... LM
FOOTBALL DEBATE Last issues letter from R. Clayton of E&J Software about the review of their g a m e Treble Champions has brought in a fair amount of response. Wyatt Wendels from London agreed with E&J's points: I personally am a football game freak and believe they should be given a fair go as there is usually more to see than the finances, results and team, and I feel that maybe two days playing a high quality game is not enough. Reading the review it appears it was written off on the fact that it was unoriginal. I find this makes no difference. The Wiz from Liverpool obviously shares the sentiment: He gave you a right rollicking didn't he? Welt it's your own fault! If you employ reviewers who have closed minds on the subject, ie prefer shoot em ups, maze games etc, then you are bound to get biased reviews. I am an avid
game player, from the likes of Double, Soccer Boss, Football Manager. Football Director. Footballer of the Year. Soccer Q to Premier League. I play the games for seasons on end so I get a good idea of how good or bad the games are. But then P. Clayton (no relation) from Northants and proud owner of the old Football Manager makes his point: Time goes by, and I decided to have a look at what the current scene had to offer. Treble Champions had a whole host of features, so I thought to myself: "Look no further.' He w a s disappointed: I find it hard to believe that, in this day and age a company like Challenge (E&J) has the GALL to charge £9.95 for something which isn't even budget quality. The overall speed of the game is a JOKE. The list of features IS impressive but there is no real gameplay or addictiveness. So it's back to Football Manager for me. Sorry, Challenge. I'm sure you spent a lot of time on the program, I just wish you'd spent some more on the speed and gameplay. And to cheer Nick Roberts up, The Wiz: Might I add that the reviews in the same issue for Soccer 7, International Football, British Super League and The Footballer, are spot on, as these games are basically the same format as earlier seen from Cult. There we go. More next month if opinionated enough. LM Moans, quibbles, silliness — just send it in for shredding to: Live Circuit, C R A S H , P.O. Box 10, Ludlow, Shropshire SY81DB
CONTROL YOURSELF!
Apparently the new joystick about to appear from the Spectravideo stable la such an advancement on previous sticks they plan to call It a game controller (which Is all a 'joystick' Is at the end of the day). The Quickshot QS 129 Flight Controller looks neat and different. Control Is achieved by placing your thumbs on the cursor and firebutton, holding the device In both hands like an outlandish steering wheel. Could be great, could be uncomfortable. We'll have to give it a CRASH test soon. The marvel of modern technology will be available soon for £12.50 from all good stockists.

[man behind the Skull emblenm is Frank Castle • Vietnam vet annd only survivor of his family's irmurder at the hands of the mob, non* the black clad vigilante known annd teared by crime bosses as TFhe Punisher. A Punisher film staarring Dolph Lundgren and a compouter game by The Edge will be ouut soon to cement his popularity. Parallels between The Punisher ami BBatman can be drawn, but Mr CastleVs methods of cleaning up the sstreets are more drastic. A good stonry with lots of gratuitous violence thwown in!
What's happening In comic land and w h a t to look out fori M a r k Caswell m a k e s his choice The Sensational She-Hulk
Marvel Comics, 70p Monthly Jennifer Walters was petite delence lawyer until she ran foul of local mobster Nicholas Trask. His thugs tried to kill her but failed • only just. Luckily Jennifer's cousin Bruce Banner (aka The Hulk) came 10 the rescue, giving her a blood transfusion. Later in hospital Trask s goons tried again, only to find Banner's radiated blood given to Jennifer had turned her into a
6'plus green goliath, Thus The Savage She-Hulk was bom. The comic bombed in the States and everyone thought they'd seen the last ot Shulkie. But Marvel have given her a second chance, and nine issues into the new series I think they made the right decision. Because even fighting baddies like The HeadMen, The Circus Of Crime and diabolical Dr Bong, her wicked sense o( humour is very rarely shaken. The artistic and writing genius of John Byrne succeeds in port raying Miss Walters as a very human character despite lacing totally preposterous villains. This is Marveldom, and Shukie is one of my greatest heroines. Try her, you wont fce disappointed.
Aliens
The Punisher Marvel Comics, 40p weekly, 70p monthly The Punisher appears in several
comics, a British weekly, two American monthlies (The Punisher and The Punisher War Journal) and several glossy graphic novels. The
Dark Horse Comics, £1.25 IBiMonthly It is several years on from Alliens, the movie where everyone b;ar Ripley, the young girl Newt amd Space Marine Corporal Hicks perished. Newt is now a youing woman confined to a menial hospital, and Hicks drifts in and out of (rouble with everyone assuming he has somehow been infected byltie Aliens. The comic follows their adventures and further encounters with the aliens in glorious moho, Worth a look. There, something to get on with. More comix news soon!

DR DOOM'S REVENGE It's looking good for winter Speccy fun. A great soccer game from Gremlin, road action galore, a fistful of blast 'em ups and more! The Crash team give you the low-down...
FOOTBALLER OF THE YEAR II Footballer Of The Year II Remember the original Footballer Of The Year game Gremlin released in 1986? Well, over 400,000 of you should, because that's how many copies were sold. The sequel has taken a long time, but October should see the
fruits of the programmers' labours. Again you'll have to use your skills as a player/strategist to make loadsadosh and become 'Footballer Of The Year', and Gremlin claim to have radically improved the game. Sounds like a must for all soccer fans!
!CHED TYRES Power Drift The arcade version of Power Drift is second only to Galaxy Force for guaranteed rapid retro digestion of your lunch, and this Chrimble the computer version will rock your Speccy thanks to Activision. Choose from twelve drivers and live different courses
split into 27 tracks — and the race can beginl Battle through varied weather and track conditions: snow, mud, desert, and night time. Definitely one to look out tor at £9.99 cass. £14.99 disk. Just watch your tummies...
DR D O O M ' S REVENGE Cashing in on the recent boom of comic book character licences. Empire are releasing Dr Doom's Revenge in November. Victor Von Doom is the self appointed monarch of tiny Latvaria. He wears a metal mask
to hide a face horribly disfigured by an accident, and does nothing but hounding superheroes. The two in for it here are Spiderman and Captain America. Will the daring duo stop the mad tyrant? Watch oul for the review soon...
TWO FROM TENGEN Toobin' Domark are on the brink of releasing their next two Tengen titles. The first will be Toobin', the story of two hip 'n' cool dudes who decide to travel to a beach party, not in a car, not on a bus, but down a handy dandy river by
way of a couple of car tyres. Not the easiest way to get there, with attacks from all manner of unfriendlies and creatures. A good supply of beer cans to lob is required! Help Biff and Jet get to the party in November at £9.99 cass, £14.99 disk.
Hard Drivin' Another in the Christmas racing league. The arcade original features flight simulator style graphics as you choose whether to tackle either the speed or stunt
tracks. Not much hope of the Spectrum version looking quite as stunning as the arcade, but judge by the screen shot. The 8-Bit version by Binary Designs will be out end of November.

RACING FOR GOLD Turbo Outrun US Gold's bid for the charts this winter is the follow on to Outrun. The Testarossa is replaced by dream machine Ferrari F40 (did you see the Ferrari on the US Gold stand at the PC Show?). As
usual the task is simple: entice that beautiful blonde into the car and rip off down the highway in a race across America. Cheaper than the Ferrari, the game can be yours for £9.99 cass, £14.99 disk.

re you fed up with the same old four TV channels? Well, how do you fancy getting loads of new TV stations via a brilliant Amstrad satellite system? Actually, one very m u c h like the one PowerPlay, purveyors of some of the best joysticks around, are giving away in this fab c o m p o ! All this generosity is to celebrate the success of PowerPtay's Crystal joystick, the stick that's crystal clear and lets y o u see the heart of the components (A surgeon c o m m e n t s : Erm, Blimeyl). Now Powerplay have a d d e d new solid-colour Crystal sticks to the range; one in raging red and one in garish green. They c o m e in two models: one standard and one with autofire. Complete with microswitches and ultra-accurate control, they're a must for any gamesplayer. In fact, they're so durable they've survived the Nick Roberts test! This involves slamming the stick against Nicko's head and seeing which breaks first: the stick or Ntcko's thick bonce! (Don't try this at home, viewers!). In addition to the the major prize of a Satellite system, comprising of dish and tuner, PowerPlay are offering 20 Crystal sticks too — ten standards and ten autofire as runners up prizes! Hurrah! To have the chance of winning one of the brill prizes on offer here's a brain teaser to get you thinking. Below there are three odd looking joysticks — but what sort of sticks are they? To get you thinking in the right way, take this lor an example:
Right - look at this peculiar stick. What is it? (Erm...) It's a B R O O M stick! Haw haw! Now you sort the other three out. Send your answers on a postcard or the back of a sealed envelope to: HOW MANY WHATS COULD A WHATST1CK WHAT IF A WHATSTICK COULD STICK WHAT (Snip! That's far too long, send it to...) STICK IT UP WITH POWERPLAY COMPO, CRASH, PO Box 10, Ludlow, Shropshire SY8 1DB. Entries in by November 16, and follow the normal c o m p o rules or we'll ram a joystick right up (SNIP! Again. — E d ) .

A slightly shorter Cheat Mode Motel this month, simply because I haven't been sent anything worth printing. Programers either aren't bothering to include them these days, or they're making them so hard to find that people are looking more to POKEs. Anyway, here are the offerings

PICK UP A POKEMANIA! Another Pokemania is about to burst out of the cover cassette this month and it's as good as it has ever been, but a bit shorter. The full list of games that have been POKEd is below. Poor old Graham 'TURBO' Mason, the man with more Spectrum add ons than Sir Cllve, has been stuck in hospital suffering the food and an operation. He's managed to get hold of a Spectrum to do this tot though. So get well soon TURBO, and you go on: load up that Pokemania.

ledge, go up and then go left. Go up the long rope until you come to a ledge. Jump onto it again, go to the edge. Whip the button and you are on the last ledge. Just go right to complete the level. Level Three The basic idea of this maze level is to go down and left. This will get you to your destination, but as this is rather like a maze it may be quite difficult. When you are going up or down a ladder, wait for a bit half way and see if any Germans go below or above you. If there is someone, wait for them to go up or down, then whip'em! If at the beginning you have any whips lelt, get rid of them. You need quite quick reactions to hit some of the Germans and the whip takes much too long. If you find yourself in the passenger room without the grail diary you've done it wrong! It is a bit before you fall down a ledge If you're already down though, you can't get back up! If you do manage to get here with the grail diary, go right until you come to a ladder. Go up this quite a way. At the top go right up the ladde' onto the small ledge and jump. On the next ledge you will see a German below you. Jump the gap onto the next ledge. Wait un.il the German has walked past yoj, then fall down. Get up and hit him. Go left to the ladder and then down it. The end of level three!
MEATY MULTiFACE MISCHIEF! Cor, wow, brill, triff and lots of other suitably jolly words. Guy Edmonds of Birmingham (say that name in a Brummy accent) has sent in millions (well actually it's more like two! multiface POKEs for Gemhi Wing, Silkworm and New Zealand Story. The rest arf from Malcolm Dunlop from Langholm in Scotland.
Gemini Wing 41740,24...Aliens immune t< your ship (this is useful if you want to be a kamikaze pilot) 44278.8 + 44285,58...Slopsyour ship from being able to fire anything except from the fev gunballs you start with! 40076.0...Disables gunballs except the ones you start wih. After they've gone, you onlyhave
the laser (gives you a challenge). 42339,0...Wipes the screen of all flying aliens except the dragon fly. 34402,0...Infinite lives (boring).
Silkworm 47894,0...Makes the helicopter immune from all the enemy and their fire. The New Zealand Story 49344.0...Gives the kiwi autofire. 29411,127...Disables all weapons so all you people who say it's too easy can have a field day I Sam Fox's Strip Poker 26758,0...When about to win. Now return to the game, your money will increase. When it gets to 5000 POKE 26758.109. Now restart and you'll be able to see al! the pictures (whoop, whoop!). No sexist remarks in this mag!
R e t u r n Of T h e J e d i 46267,201...No trees. 52140,0...Infinite lives
All Points Bulletin Now you can become a super cop and complete every day with ease in A.P.B. with these tips from Daniel Button from Ludlow (Where's that), i w a s actually given these tips while DJing at a local night spot, well it makes a change from using the postal system! 1. Collect as many donuts and money bags as possible to get bonuses. But watch out because some are booby traps. 2. At the speed shop get speed for the first two days, then get the gun. This helps you to catch the big criminals. 3. To capture the big criminals drive along beside them, then turn and ram them off the road. You may have to do this more times on the higher levels, it takes fast tapping to make them confess. 4. Watch out for the train: if it gets you when you're in the middle of the track, it takes ages to get off and you get more demerits. 5. Follow the detour signs for donut and money bonuses. 6. Don't drive slow over the road works because you will CRASH! 7. Careful not to drive down the wrong side of the road, as the other cars won't be pleased. 8. On day eight the criminals will avoid you, so wait at junctions or change carriageways to catch them.
HEARTBROKEN Ah, who's got a broken heart then? Pete Mossop from Daltonin-Furness certainly hasn't, because he's gone to the trouble of sending me these tips o n the budget game. Now isn't that nice of him? R, r, u, u, get spell book, d. d, r, r. u, I, u. r, r, u, r. up left ladder, get elixir, d. I, d. 1.1, d. r, d.

POSTMAN PAT Pom, pom, pom, la, la, fa, and his black and white telly (well, a telly is more entertaining than a cat!). It's nice to have a bit of a sing song now and then, especially w h e n it's for everyone's fave cartoon, Postman Pat. We haven't actually reviewed this g a m e yet, but it's in the shops, so here is the solution and a map from John Davey. Come on Alternative, where's our review copy? Solution To Easy Version Ted Glen: From the Post Office go I, d, I, I, d, I, u, u, I, d, d, I, I. d, d, d, r, r, u, I. He will ask you to tell Peter Fogg that his sheep are loose. To get to Fogg's farm go r, d, r. r, r, r, r, u, r, d. Peter will ask you to help him round up his sheep. To get to the sheep go u, I, d, 1,1,1,1.1, u, u, r. Then to round up the sheep you have to push them out towards your van, which can be done in many different ways. Get back to the Post Office by going d, d. 1.1, u, u, u, r, r. u, u. r, d. d. r. u, r, r, u, r. Miss Hubbard: From the Post Office go I, d. I, I, d. r, r. d. Miss Hubbard will ask you to get her prescription from Dr Gilbertson. To get there go u, 1.1, u. u. Dr Gilbertson will ask you to take the prescription back to Miss Hubbard's house. S o go d, d, r. r, d. Then to get back to the Post Office go u, 1.1, u, r, r, u. r. George Lancaster: From the Post Office go I, d, I, I, d, I, u, u, I, d, I, I, u. After you have given him his parcel he will tell you to go back
adventure one complete! Spells Shield: Regains a lost life. Teleport: Gets you to the castle quicker. , Banishment: Gets rid of pests for a while. Snapdragon: Allows you past the prison guardian (needed). Portcullis: Opens the castle gate (needed). Alchemy: Turns the pouch of coins into a golden key by use of the elixir and the key mould (needed to unlock the princess's prison).
to the Post Office so go d, r. r, u. r, d, d, r, u, r, r, u, r. Letters: Miss Goggins will give you a certain number of letters to deliver, usually three or more. This is one good thing about having sound FX on, because the computer beeps when you send a letter. The solution to the difficult version is the same, but you have to watch out for oil slicks, Miss Hubbard on her bike and crashing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; because you only get three lives.
THE NEW ZEALAND STORY
HANG: Kiwi can hang from it. FALL: effected by gravity. FLOAT: not effected by gravity. SHOT: number of arrows neetded to burst. Teddy Balloon...STAND, FALL, 1 SHOT. Hot Air Balloon...FLOAT, STAfND, 1 SHOT. Super Ray Gun...FLOAT, STAiND, IF S H O T N O EFFECT, BUILT IN GUN! Normal Balloon...FALL, HANG, STAND, 4 SHOTS. String Batloon...FALL, STAND). HANG, 1 SHOT.

Bombs...Short range, bursts al! balloons, very powerful. Raygun...Long range, can eliminate a row of nasties. Fuzzbal!...This is a strange fuzzy ball which floats around the screen randomly, weird! Hints & Tips * To hijack a hang balloon simply jump to it. The other nasty on it will die. * Before freeing the last level one Kiwi, grab a balloon. When free the whale will appear. Use the balloon to fly to the hole in the right. Here you will be safe from nearly all the ice crystals. If you have bombs you'll have to get closer. * To hijack a non-hang balloor, first stand underneath it then tap the up key to do a tiny jump. Now shoot the creature on it.
Gosh, I'm glad Ocean have brought out a conversion of this. It was costing me all my cash to just stay alive while I was playing the arÂŁade machine o n m y hols. Perhaps I should have taken these hints and tips o n the g a m e from Brendan McKeon of Ballinteer, Dublin along to help me! Balloons Key: STAND: Kiwi can stand on it. Don't cry, I know it's the end of another Playing Tips, but there will always be another one another day. To be precise there wil be another next month, so tune in again then. Send all your u s d banana skins a n d tips (the second one is optional) to: Nick Wibbly Wobbly Bits' Roberts, Playing Tips, C R A S H , PO Box 1), Ludlow, Shropshire, S Y 8 1DB. See ya!

ave you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight? Now's your chance: Batman • The Movie is here. This Is Ocean's third foray Into Batworld and without doubt the best with Gotham City hoodlums terrorised by our caped hero, the creation of The Joker and a climax in Gotham City cathedral, just like the film. The game opens with the police raid on a chemical plant burgled by local hoodlum Jack Napier. Batman chases Napier, negotiating sixty screens

A gun which fires a rope and grapple has him swinging to a swashbuckling confrontation with Napier and level end, with the villain plunging Into a vat of acid. Thus The Joker is spawned...

The sprites of Batman and The Joker are recognisable with better pictures of the characters on the energy level Indicator at the bottom of the screen.

Using his Batrope, the Caped Crusader must climb to the top of the tower, fighting off cops and The Jokers men, to reach the villain and put paid to him. I'm a great Batman fan, and not disappointed! Jack Nicholson's movie performance as the psychotic Joker is ably matched by the pixelated standin and the Batman sprite is no slouch either.

So it's down to Bin to search the game's six levels, rescue Lucy and return her to the real world. Easier said than done: Achacha hates It when a plan doesn't come together, so he sets his weird and very dangerous minions after this Donald Duck reject.

e're back back in Twenties America under the iron heel of prohibition. This doesn't stop gangster Al Capone producing and distributing illegal booze. Bribery and corruption rules a police force well paid to look the other way. But one Federal Agent is determined to form a group of officers above bribery, he's Elliot Ness, they are...The Untouchables. Their mission: Get Capone. The six level game is a belated tie-in of the movie that's long done the rounds in video shops. Never mind, it's great in Its own right. Ness opens the game with an abortive raid on a Chicago warehouse suspected of holding Illegal booze. A police department mole has tipped off the mob, and they're waiting guns at the
As you blast the baddies amongst the scattered crates, arrows appear which lead to one of ten whitesuited men who possess useful information, shoot them to gain the info, but watch it: If one of the other guys gets it he turns white, and the chase is on again. Ten percent of the information is collected with each successful hit, but 100% is needed to complete the section. You start the game with a rifle, so pick up violin cases for machine guns; and roses for energy — you need as much as you can get. Level two sees Ness and

team at the US/Canadian border to stop a band of bootleggers from escaping. You start with Ness on the ground amidst parked trucks, avoiding the hiding gangsters' bullets. His rifle with telescopic sights can pick off targets as they pop their heads round the trucks, using the cross hairs on screen upper right. He dodges bullets by rolling to the left or right. Alternatively, roll off the edge of the screen to select one of the other three Untouchables. Victory on this level gains the documents Ness needs to convict Capone. Only Capone's accountant can decipher them however. To stop Ness getting his hands on him, Capone bundles his hapless minion off to the station to catch a train out of town. In hot pursuit, Ness and Co are ambushed in an alleyway: Tommy gun blasting hoods in windows and cars. The usual shoot-out occurs to clear the scene for a race to the station. Switch from Ness to team members as before, but watch out: your double barreled shotgun needs constant reloading.
Survive this and It's time to get Ness down the station stairs while blasting the opposition and (to make things trickier) preventing an innocent baby in a pram from crashing to death. Ness finally gets face to face with Capone's accountant. But one last cowardly hood is using him as a shield. It's first person perspective shoot out time: kill the gangster without harming the accountant. Capone is caught and charged with tax evasion. The trial sets off the final level with one of Capone's henchmen making a bid for freedom. A good oldfashioned chase ensues, ending on the rooftop. Will Ness get his man? It's up to you. Great stuff. Ocean have brought Chicago to life. Atmospheric title tune (128K), beautifully detailed graphics and challenging gameplay add up to one addictive mean game!

These include Mad Marbles, Tree Spirits, Skeletons, and there's BerthikJa the witch, who» can only be killed by weanng the magic hat. Speed is also important if you're going to succeed in Crystal Casttles: spend loo long on a screen and killer bees swarm up antd sting you (ouch!). 3-D graphics have been attempted over and ovetr again on the Spectrum and the Crystal Castles version's almost unique to this garme.

There's a 21 piece freedom kit to help him along his way, but he's only allowed five objects from it. If the wrong five are selected he'll get so far in his escape and run into trouble! Poor Monty! Your quick thinking and arcade skills are tested to the full and the cartoon stvle araohics are appealing. The game's packed with wide variety ol colourful, animated nasties that move around each screen in a set pattern. It's best to spend some time studying the screen layout to try and find the best way through before you jump in feet first. The slightest touch of any nasty character and Monty is no more! If thai wasn't hard enough there are such traps as broken lifts, crushing pisions and deadly water. If you've never played Monty On The Run before you've got a real treat in store and hours of endless fun. Slightly aged, but still busting with payability.
