5 0 L O N G B U T N O T SO I'm vacating the Editor's chair as • f r o m next month, but that's not to say I'm disappearfrom the mos. sir! You won't get rid of me that easily. I'm becoming a Managing Editor, which means I'll be taking lots of long lunches with top industry figures and generally swanning around the office while the rest of the team do all the real work. So who's the new Ed? Well, you know him already - it's Rich Leadbetter, the phonebox fi end of the Western World. Unfortunately his telephonic tomfoolery will have to take a back seat as he devotes his life to doing all the hard editory type things like slapping the staff writers around for spending too much time playing the

fitreetfighter II c o i n games room and giving all the designers when they o p i n a dry t hroasting e get all the ureenshots the wrong way around. Still, he deserves it and I'm sure you'll welcome him to his new lob.

The upshot of me being given far more time to loaf about is that I'll be able to spend much more time writing, which means MEAN MACHINES will be having f a r more features and other interesting art icles in the coming months. I'll also be spending time tracking down all the latest CD-ROM software, taking a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to make and fi lm a CD-ROM game, plus I'll be getting the spec on Sego's new 32-bit wonder console which'll be released later on next year. So stick with us and watch us get better and better!

2 : T-shirt.

To transfer the image 4 to a T-shirt, set your iron to a temperature of roughly 140- 150 ? and leave the iron to degrees centigrade

irstly though, to create the ultimate in streetcred fashion wear, get yourself a plain white

warm up for around five minutes. Before starting, check that the T-shirt is clean, grease-free and flat (you can't iron it over

seams). Placing a thick piece of card under the area to be used, first of all iron the flat area to remove any remaining wrinkles or creases.

Next, place the transfer FACE DOWN on the Tshirt and iron over all parts of the transfer.

Keep doing this for a minute or so, trying not to move the transfer paper. Leave it to cool and then slowly peel back the backing paper. If, for some reason, it hasn't quite worked, just reiron it again. And there you go - a topper Sonic II T-shirt that ISN'T available anywhere else!

However, remember that when washing, you

shouldn't put it in water over 40 degrees centigrade and DON'T iron directly on the image.

JUL G U S H E R " RIONALL Jaz's I. t w o - w h e e l e d transportation has its roots i l d h o o d .

Industry magnate and top Cordon Bleu chef Julian's dream was to be a World War Two Motorcycle Dispatch Rider. Could this also explain his predilection for wearing knee-length boots and jodhpurs around the office? Hmmm.

Ring!' FAVL GAMEILISONIC 2, STREET m o w n - CRAMJON EDITION •RICH "NO T SORTED" LEADDETTER Rich reckons he wasn't born until he was twenty so couldn't have hod any childhood ambitions. He does, however, have one burning odult ambition which is to be as 'street' as his hero, self-styled guru of cockernee credibility, "Mister C" out of the Shamen. Some guys just don't have any goals in life do they?

JRRENT FAVE GAMES:SONIC II, STRUT FIGHTER I I CHAINPI• '4 EDITION, ROAD RASH

EMAP Images and its suppliers will not accept responsibility for claims regarding spoilage of garments resulting from an incorrect application of the transfer or for not following the above instructions.

OZ "JULIET BRAVO" BROWN We at the office hove always been puzzled by Oz's tendency to choose Chun Li in Street Fighter, it all becomes clear now though. Oz's childhood dream was to be a Policewoman. "They all seemed so kind and were always helping people," says our confused colleague. "But I've grown out of it now and the uniform was getting too tight anyway," he adds hastily, • J ANDY "PRIMATE" MCVITTIE R "My main ambition," says our freshly-wed Prod Ed, "was to be Golen R from Planet Of The Apes." Indeed, such was Andy's obsession with E Roddy McDowell's humane baboon, that he now sports plastic surgery N making him virtually indistinguishable from the heroic character.

T AVE DAMSS4PAR S T A R S , P / 0 OF ILLUSION F A RADION " I WANT TO BE ADORED" AUTOMATIC T might be the youngest member of staff but Rod hos by for the He grandest E ambition. "As a child I wanted to be on omnipotent being and spread love across the universe," admits our Godlike writer. Working G asAhe does at MEAN MACHINES it looks os though Rod is half way to realising his dream. On your knees, sinners!

N tNT FATE GAMSS:SON/C 2, WORLD OF ILLUSION, TWINI TALE M ANGUS "KING OF COMEDY" SWAN E Budding Jeremy Beadle, Gus says his only childhood ambition was to T be R allowed to visit Glasgow's renowned Tom Shepherd's Joke Emporium alone so he could blow oil his pocket money on such hilariE ous necessities as fart powder, bold wigs and sea monkeys etc. What a E jolly funster he is, oh readers?

T turattAIT HIVE EAMES:SONIC 2, STRUT FIGHTER F I PAUL "CAN YOU 'ERE ME MOTHER" DAVIES GAs a child, my only ambition was to be like the great George Formby," says staff writer and all-round top light entertainer Paul. It H was T to be a shod lived ambition though as Paul was arrested for flaunting his little stick of Blackpool rock in a public place. Ahem!

E .?RENT PAVE GAMEStDARK CASTLE., SONIC 2 R 1 DAVE "SHOULDER-LENGTH RUBBER GLOVES" KELSALL 1 Doves childhood ambition to be a vet has a strange and somewhat , sinister origin. "I always wanted to be the guy who operated Basil A Brush,' admits our Elvis-like designer of his penchant for small, furry L I VF W FAYE GAMES:SpONIC 2, WORLD OF ILLUSION E N 3FRASER "MAJOR TO M" GRAY Space Cadet Froser has hod a clear vision of his future since on early age "I'd do anything to get off this planet,' quoth he, "just like my hero Buzz Aldrin." Our spaced-out designer is obviously closer than he thinks to realising his dream of off-world life.

Domark have licensed Electronic Arts' most popular Megadrive title to date for conversion to the Master System and Game Gear Desert Strike!

If for some reason you missed the colossal hype surrounding the Megadrive game, the scenario involves a mad Middle East dictator who's decided to annex a smaller country in the Gulf (sounds familiar?). It's your job, as a hardened helicopter pilot type to fly into the war zone and cripple the invaders w ar machine. Sounds easy huh? Well, four levels packed with explosive oction could well prove you wrong.

Domark are programming the Master System version with a maximum four-megabit cartridge and this should be available during August next year! The game should retail for £32.99. The Game Gear version is only a twomeg cartridge, but should be available at the some time for the price of £27.99.

In fact, we can exclusively reveal that the game is already well into production an official UK release date of February 1993 - only three months a Many rumours have circulated about SF2 appearing on the Mega CD, following up the forthcoming Final Fight conversion. However, can put the gossips to rest now when we say that the first conversion for the Megodrive, with Sego allowing Copcom a massive 6 - m e g o cartridge for the conversion - just like the uncanny Super NES version.

Remember that crappy Mega CD title, Heavy Nova? It was a oneon-one beat 'em up, featuring two massive robots bottling it out for all-out space supremacy.

Well, the good news is that a sequel, Black Hole Assault (also for the Mega CD), is coming soon!

From what we can gather, the game looks like taking the basic concept of Heavy Nova and adding in a whole host of new features. For a start, the graphics hove been completely overhauled, introducing better sprites ond backdrops. The combat action has been improved as

well with a whole host of new robots and attack moves.

Hopefully the playability and speed of the animation have been sped up as well. Many new options, like tournaments and leagues hove been added to.

You can take your fights to ma different planets too, each with • different gravity levels and atmospheric densities!

Keep a look out for more details on this potentially excellent CD title.

TOPPER FRACTALS IN NEW CD CAME! Currently doing the rounds of the Japanese press at the moment are these stunning fractal-based landscapes produced using the Mego-CD The graphics are from a game called Silpheed, a graph, cally enhanced version of an old PC title released by Origin. That game was originally a scrolling shoot 'em up and we expect the Mega CD version to be no different - however, nothing on the PC looks anywhere as good as this!

From what we gather, these amazing visual actually move very smoothly, making use of the enhanced hardware's full motion video capabilities. Expect to hear more news about this game in a forthcoming issue of this very mag.

onship! As you may imagine, just like the world championship races, the object is to travel across a circuit, using your skill (and your bike) to emerge victorious! The difference is that Road Rash races ore set on highways, in amongst the normal traffic. The other difference is that any form of violence against another biker is allowed, and indeed encouraged!

There are five major leagues in Rood Rash II, set across the same number of different highways. Eoch league has five races to complete before you are promoted. The landscapes offer many different hazards. Alaska, for example, is noted for its twisty roads, whereas at Tennessee, you can expect to find trees growing in the centre of the highway!

As you start to win races ond accrue some cash, you can trade in your bottle-damaged Shuriken 500 for newer, better machines. Can you get your hands on $38000 required for the ultimate in the bike technology? Will you be able to ride it to victory in the most taxing race of all time?

The bike shop has fifteen different motorcycles to choose from. The cheapest bikes cost around $3000 to S4000.

Should you wish to race with the 170mph Diablo 1000 N (with nitro attachment!), you'll have to save up a whopping great $313,0001 There are three different divisions of motorcycle you con buy.

Ultra-Light bikes are exactly thatl With very little weight, these bikes ore excellent in terms of acceleration and handling. However, to keep the weight down, the bikes engines are not as powerful as those in the Super Bike or Nitro Class categories.

rm a mega Road Rash fan, having played and completed the original game many times, so I was especially looking forward to this sequel.

Having seen it and played it, I'm both relieved and disappointed. I'm happy to say that Road Rash II is better than the original, with faster gameplay, more taxing opposition and more bikes! The two-player modes are excellent as well - the split-screen action is mega fast and highly furious with no sign of slowdown. So why am I disappointed as well? I think it's because the actual concept and execution of the game is no different from the original game. In fact, if you own the original and aren't going to use the two-player option, I would have a few reservations recommending it because the L O N changes aren't really that —R L i E l M noticeable. However, judged in C t .E1 111:1 its own right, Road Rash II is the MY most fun, exciting rood racer R M WEEK available for the Megadrive.

Let's just hope that Road Rash 111 INONTN (should it ever appear) is a comYEAR pletely NEW game.

There ore five main levels in Road I I I , encompassing a larger variety of terrain e original game. You ore allowed to race on t r a c k as many times as you wont in each level The higher your level, the longer you hove to race on the track. During stage one, you only hove to race about six miles on each track. By the time you ach the last level, you're racing a mammoth 15 des! Arghh!

Should you choose a bike from the Nitro Class, you're able to squirt nitrous oxide into your engine a certain number of times, depending on the motorcycle chosen. A practised double tap of the Bbutton produces this effect which causes your bike to travel at speeds of 20mph in excess of its top speed!

he bikes in this class might look a bit familiar. This because the mechanics hove chosen the best ieasts from the other two categories and attached aro-boosters to them! Since these custom bikes are short supply, expect to pay through the nose for -tem. In fact, the top bike with the nitro attachment osts $10,000 more than the non-nitro model!

At the beginning of the race, you only hove your fists and feet to use against the other participants.

However, you can blog a couple of different weapons to increase your damage potential.

Tennessee's highway is situated on very mountainous terrain. As you might imagine, this roughly translates into a very bumpy road. The high altitude of the mountain also lends itself to a damp atmosphere and thus, a slippery road!

completely motorbike mad, Road Ras one of my all-time faves, and this sequel has en the cause of much anticipation since it s first announced. Now I've played it, my elings are mixed. This is more of a Road Rash with extra bits rather than a completely new game. The two-player mode is great fun, and the new bikes offer plenty of high-speed scratching. The problem is that those are the only real enhancements. Twistier tracks, motorway sections, real race tracks, off-road sections, trick riding, very congested roads and even stunts are things I'd have loved to have seen included in this. Sadly, the programmers have opted for the same game formula as the first, and as such Road Rash experts will find themselves simply applying the same tactics they learned in the previous game to beat this. Yes, it's a bit more challenging than the first, but really it's not as difficult as it should be, especially when you consider how similar the games are. The overall mark we've given is really for the benefit of those who haven't already got Rood Rash in their collection, since taken as a game in its own right it's the most exciting and addictive racing game available on the Megadrive. If you've already got the original, though, there simply isn't enough enhancements and new features in this to justify buying i t

REAR U R EYES? Dear YOB What on excellent idea it was to split your magazine in two. Now people no longer have to pay good money to read half a magazine. I find it very confusing to read about a review, to find out that the game is not out yet.

Surely at the end of the review, you could put the scheduled date

would find it very useful if you released a booklet regrading the 11I percentages to put the games in o context with other games of f r

today. Also, it would be good you could put on alternative box in which to cornpore the best game of a genre to the one to the one that you ore reviewing.

Finally, it would be a good idea if It us what has been released in each particular month.

James Young

• amazingly accurate, the news flabbergasting, the rating system ingenious and the insults creative, but the reviewers are literate (unlike GornePro, Sega Power and other such mogs) and seem to understand the needs of normal games-players. So, I look forward to getting MEAN MACHINES every month, even if it has cost me over Si 00 to buy every issue from 4 to 22, and arrives in Australia 3 to 4 months late.

What is it with the people who dy make video games, these days?

- cThey get terrific licenses and then so stuff them up. Terminator, Navy Seals and Star Trek ore prime om piexamples but then they ignore the l cpotential of some excellent action movies, and produce games of eiHudson Hawk, Dorkman and an Moonsvalker. What about good srfilms like DeIto Force, The eePunisher and how about the fabulous Akira? There could be a Road tRash-esque section on the motorubikes, a Crackdown type section rlooking for Tetsuo in the hospital, nand a shooter with the big laser and eventually Tetsuo fcannon, himself. oBut with such great games like rStreetfighter II about, one realises how good video gomes con be, so it is sod that the people who make games seem to be just churning them out, often just to make money without thinking about the players. I may drop by if ever get to England. Until then may the Force be with you, and may Jeremy Beadle's car explode with him in it.

freaks; there is only one Sonic and 4 Morios what do you expect is going to be better Well I think thot Sonic one is better than Mario 1 and 2 and that is just the first when port 2 comes out it may even be better than Mario 3 and 4 so you Nintendo Mario lovers better start thinking of some new news before you soy Mario is better than Sonic because it ain't!

Please put this in both MEAN MACHINES SEGA and NINTENDO MAGAZINE SYSTEM because my point must get across to every MEAN MACHINES reader on this earth. Anyway keep up the good work up there.

Dear MEAN 'Con' MACHINES I went and bought your MEAN MACHINES SEGA. I looked through it and watched the tope and thought what a con, I've just spent four pounds on that. I've been buying MEAN MACHINES

AEAN since issue 1 but I don't think I'll get it again, so don't expect me to spend the odd fiver a month on your •Ig8.— magazines.

Mario Nicholas, Cheshunt, Herts YOB: First of all, the video an extra E2, since the norrno price of the magazine is just 1 under E2. Doh l Secondly, it's one-off. We wanted to give you readers the chance - and it's the ONLY chance - to actk see and hear Sonic played before the gam. eased. If you didn't w ar video, you shouldn't hav ,ght it in the first plate.

Dear Mean YOB Now that the Super Nintendo has finally arrived in Australia, I am distressed to see that Sego are reacting badly. The amount of advertising on TV about the Megadrive has gone down and they actually think they need to give away £150 worth of free software with the Megodrive to moke it sell.

I think this is wrong, you buy a machine for games not for freebies_ All the Megodrive owners needn't worry about the Super NES invasion, so stop writing in to complain about it, Anyway, the Megedrive hasp heaps of games and the Super NES will only hove 25 games available by Christmas in Australial Thanks for reading this letter, you can insult me now because I hove finished.

Tim Chimielewski, Victoria, Australia

but to my surprise all that was there was Gear and AAegadrive.

Surely you could have found even one game for the Master System?

Besides that I was quite pleased with the video, so howz about one every 4-6 months? While on the subject of consoles could you tell me the best footy game on the Megadrive and SNES and if it's not much bother, a good golf game for both as well (as I will be getting either a Megodrive or SNES within the next two months) Diolch yn fowr (thanks a lot) Mark Wheeler, Gwaelod-yGarth, Wales

B0-0-0-0-ORING Dear YOB All I am writing for is to soy how brill your video was. Truthfully I was expecting one of you lot to bore us to death, instead I was amazed because I was totally and utterly gutted because of the quality of the video produced. In simple terms, no rubbish Sonic 2 looked to be amazing and so fast, but at the other end of the scale was Tazmanio on the Game Gear. I've seen some sad games, but this takes the award for saddest of the year, I would say the game looked and sounded like a load of old rabbit droppings!

not? Still, away with such id n t e r . It's the tips we're most concerned with. This guide to each of the bosses should keep

you amused for a while. They were sent in ages ago by Tom Borkes of Bath. Check 'em out.

MISSIO N ONE: To defeat the plane at the end of this level, keep moving from the bock to the front of the screen, dodging from side to side. Keep shooting at all times.

mossicolm T w o : At the beginning of the second mission, pick up the green gun and keep it until the end of the level. Now, when you face the tank, stay at the bottom of the screen and rapidly fire (an outofire pad might come in handy here). When he fires at you, use the Megacrash weapon and finish him off by running up and down the left side of the screen, constantly blasting.

M I SSI O N VIIREE: Easy! Just bombard the chopper with Megocrash attacks and keep to the left of the screen out of range of the chopper's deadly touch!

P411• P4 F O U R : Shoot at the boot constontly, dodging the explcisions. Now, whorl he fires, move from side to sIdle. When the boat stops firing, let rip with everything you've got! Soon the beastly boot should bite the dust!

IMIISSIO N F I V E : Move up close to the train, shooting out the turrets. Then, when the main part of the train appears, keep shooting at it (and in the air before the missiles hit youl).

MISSIO N' S I At :first, use Megocrosh attacks X on this boss before the missiles land. Then, move around the screen in a square, shooting when you can. Easy!

MISSIO N SEVEN: There aren't that many tips to give here. Just get rid of your Megocroshes as soon os possible! Then keep shooting and hope your reflexes ore up to the job of dodging the flak!

Digging through the MEAN MACHINES vaults, I chanced upon this pretty decent tip for Super Monaco GP I (not the Senna game). First of all, enter this code!

Right then, note the 0100 at the beginning of the second line. This is the efficiency of your car in percentage

you go! The only snag is that you've got to use the automatic car - doh To go even foster, change that 0100 to 1000 - wow! Than go to Geoffrey and Michael Smith of Northampton, without whom printing this code would not hove been possible...

11130.4MAILE: Here's an incredibly useful 1 1 thought up by Jay strategy Merrick of Stockport. It's an excellent W EplanI ofLaction I Fto get " rid of the main beastie at the end of the game!

E A!WCI

First of all, it's vitally important to save up your potions. They aren't really needed so much in the bulk of the game. Instead, save them for the boss and let rip with all of them before he can begin to attack you. You now have the excellent basis on which to destroy the guardian.

After this, use a series of short, sharp attacks on the behemoth, centring your attention on the head. Don't stay there too long, or he's bound to let rip with a hideous, lethal attack. Just keep repeating that and the finol boss should be defeated!

m Wood Green in Lon on has sent in an exceptionally devious cheat for this completely fob Master System title. It lets you get a massive 99 lives! Good eh? Well, over to Gregory to tell you lot how to do it

killing the man on the carpet go into the G cannon pointing up-right and blast off. o You land behind two cannons, one tpointing up, the other pointing up-right. o Jump in the cannon pointing upwards to land in the clouds.

Sai, you fancy mastering the greatest Virgin Gimes release yet then At? Well, you've turned 0 is the right pages.

These tips, from Chuck lock master, James - ‘ Capeling should put yell on the way to the final confrontation with the evil Gary Gritterl Harrah.

PIM

There's only one tip for this port of the game and that is don't bother with the lift. It's a complete waste of time!

This level is very easy to finish.

The programmers designed it just to ease you into the game. Master the technique of setting a rock down during this level, Just grab hold of a rock, press B and DOWN at the edge of a plotform and you should be able to jump up on it, thus reaching previously unreachable ports of the game map! Hearts ore found everywhere, so you shouldn't have much of a problem getting hold of extra energy.

This boss is pretty easy to defeat. When he's on the right side of the screen, jump off the platform, pick up the rock, jump onto the lower platform and throw the rock to the top platform. Jump up, picking up the rock and throwing it at the boss.

Repeat this seven more times to do away with the evil beast.

Easyl Just stay around the right side of the screen. The boss should land next to you, allowing you to belly-butt him with ease. If he doesn't act in this way, jump onto the ledge and butt him off of it! Once he's in the corner, rapid- , Z ly belly-buff him and he should die very quickly!

When you get to the lift near the end of the level, chuck the rock nearby onto the lift, then l touch the lift. Leap onto the rock and jump to the platform on the right. Continue right for a short cut to the exit

You'll doubtless be thankful for a safe route through this level of terror. The safest route possible for this stage is just to continue along the top platforms and you should reach the exit with little or no problem.

mono The safest thing to do on this level is to stick to the ground, forsaking the routes through the level that involve swimming. Sometimes, you hove no choice but to swim to get around unpossoble land

masses. Should your energy 1 reach dangerous levels, go swimming as most of the energy hearts ore below the water level. Just don't stay there too long! Alternatively, just kick the hell out of its middle area, around the flippers and emerge occasionallyfor air!

tAM SEGA 45

AMER.

MEGADRIVE

REMESIBI This level is more or less like level 3-1, but longer. Once again, going under water will lead you to the hearts quickly. However, luckily, there are few of the energy

This level can be very taxing. We recommend that you plan out exactly when, where and how you are going to attack your enemies. Also, don't lose sight of your objective t h o t is, don't bother collecting hearts that take you off of your route, make sure you clear the screen of baddies before you make use of the helpful creatures,

There are individual tips that allow you to defeat each of the monsters you meet on level five. Check it out:

restorers on the land as

well! Phew!

LEVEL4-3

The trick here is to stay next

to the fiend's head. Once you have figured out the best distance to be from the boss's head, just kick the living daylights out of the massive guardian. He may occasionally get you with his bubble blasts, but the damage inflicted shouldn't be that significant.

The best tactic we con suggest 'for this level is to stay underwater for much of the level, surfacing only to get your breath bock, or to get around the unpossable hazards like the lumps of ice_ Be alert for the energy-restoring heorts.

You'll need them...

4 6 hi hi SEGA

II 1 11 1 1 1 1 1 1 LEVEL54 I I I I I H I MEMO

No specific tips really work far this level - just stay alert for the various dinosaur-related hazards that crop up and be sure to grab those hearts.

Common-sense really.

, BOSS 4 Use these tips to defeat the monster, When he jumps towards you, back off. When he decides to jump back, jump and kick him between the eyes! When he sucks you towards him, press LEFT but don't try to attack or jump.

When he shoots snow up into the air, stay still and two flakes should land either side of you. When he jumps away, jump and kick him. In doing this, you should avoid three smaller snowballs. Use this method to dispatch the Great Woolly.

Budc-T Throw a rock at ,donstert . t him, t e dor do a flying kick n r Oman Monett- Belly-butt o him,econtinuing to do so in n he's a demon, case

lr" you fancy, really! . ..Din , Skele;41: Ditto! .

A Use a flyn ing kick, or a rock, if you fancy. y w Green Blob: In mid-air, use a a flying kick. When you land, y use a belly-butt

The safest route is to get through using the top platforms. Don't bother attacking the creatures that issue forth from the well as they ore invincible. Collect any hearts you find and try to use flying kicks where possible against the meanies.

GARYGRITTER: THEHARDWAY! If you're interested in fighting the end-game boss the fair way (?), stand on the middle platform, When Gory's about to clobber you, jump up and kick him in the head as much as possible. This way does take a lot of practise

GARYGRITTER: THELOW-DOWN DIRTYMETHI.ODI Gritter hbs an Achilles Heel!

Simply stand on the for left of the screen, but do not use the platforms. Stay on the ground and rapidly press the Bbutton. Do NOT use the platforms - they are a waste of time. Gritter walks straight into your belly-butt. Just keep that B button pumping and you should have no problem in defeating your arch-nemesis. Once Gory's bitten the dust, sit back and watch the rather disappointing end-ofgame sequence...

CROSSTHE THRESHOLD TO THE LAND OF NO RETURN. Enter the world of HeroQuest Advanced Quest, where the forces of darkness are massing against you.

In the ultimate game of fantasy you will do battle with a vast army of 47 highly detailed

citadel miniatures. Orcs, Goblins and battling barbarians.

And fight for survival on no less than 13 different levels o f thrilling adventure.

Once you've entered, will you ever return?

Atomic Runner is one of those games where new skills ore acquired as the difficulty rises, This means that something new is introduced on each level until, by the time you reach the final boss, all the stops ore pulled and you need to use everything you hove learned to win. Here is a list of tactics that might prove helpful.

Halfway through each level Chelnov encounters a guardian. Although they are quite nasty to look at they are very predicatable and go down without too much fight Basically just keep a good distance away ond keep that finger on the fire button. The only piece of advice that con be offered here relates to the fire breathing Air Drone in level two. For this creature be sure to keep Chelnov's feet firmly on the ground when confronting the beast head on. Otherwise Chelnov can look forward to a black and dusty future as Charcoal. This is the only mid-level guardian that attacks from both sides. To get past him just bounce on his head, then turn to face the opposite direction.

y b o u n c e o v e r t h e t o p o f ' '

The basic tactic for dealing with these spiked-shield toting assassins is to kneel and fire then stay low until the shield flies over Chelnov's head. The Sho-Fe also like to creep up behind Chelnov on some of the slopes in the game. Don't be inclined to turn and fire. The shields ore somewhat difficult to avoid in these situations. Instead, wait unti I .0 helnov reaches level ground to deal with them.

This chap is very proud of his ornate little stretch of wall and doesn't want anyone near it. To bring him down to earth simply stay firmly on the floor and keep firing, only lump when the fiery one lunges.

DROP SHIP The drop ship is simple to destroy with Chelnov's jumping ability powered up to the max. In this case Chelnov is able to take pot shots from the ledge at the left side of the screen. The alternative is to run about beneath the ship and do battle with the parachuting aliens, avoiding the barage of artillery.

The arrival of this huge feathered fiend is heralded by a bombardment of rocks that are blown off the cavern walls with the force of his wings. Terrordactyl is destroyed by firing at his chest but be wary of him as he lunges with his head. The tiny birds that the Terrordoctyl spits from his mouth are no trouble at all. h.

Otherwise Chelnov's pretty much stuffed anyway (to be honest). Once he has beenadestryed in a moss of flame the war has only w just begun. A hideous head emerges from the wall.

„THE B O S S E S I he thing to remember is that no matter what you do, only your front-fire guns and lasers do any sort of harm to the bosses, so your side-shots and rocket launchers ore completely useless! So, as you might imagine, "getting below them" is the order of the day.

THE NAUTILUS FISH Halfway through the each level you get to take on the giant prawn monster. He is protected by a tentacle that hangs below fi . ring shots at your ship and even crashing into it. The tentacle can't be shot away so your best tactic is to ovoid it! To destroy it, wait at the top-right of the screen until the tentacle is extended as for right as possible. Now duck beneath him and shoot! If you save your cash and get a loser you don't have to worry about the tentacle as the laser cuts straight through it!

THE CRAB This beast doesn't have any protection to speak of, but he does have the annoying habit of swooping down on you when you least expect it - crushing you horribly! He's also a bit tricky when it comes to firing shots as he tries to predict where you're going to be. The trick is to move in o horseshoe shape moving from the top right to the lop left of the screen Pause only to shoot when you're directly below him.

you're going to get as many bullets on-screen as possible by investing in this fine piece of kit 3_ Cannons ore well worth getting hold of. They dispatch the meanies that got through the sideshot and leave your main shooter clear for dealing with boddies head-on.

Remember that you're given one automaticolly near the end of stage one!

4. Double shot. This is well worth getting hold of as it doubles your main shooter's power - for better than a power-up.

5. Lasers come in handy for blowing up the bosses, but they aren't really much cop for the main blasting action. Treat yourself to one as a finol treat.

6. Any cash you've got left over should be spent on p o w e r and speed-ups. ups

DON'T BOTHER WITH...

The following items are available from the shop, but ore just completely useless, so don't bother with them.

1. Autofire. Your fingers ore probably a lot quicker and what's wrong with a little bit of exercise then any way?

2. Super Noshwan Power.

Right, so you can blast everything in sight for ten seconds?

So what? Around three (count 'em) aliens arrive for you to blast during this short period.

3. Bitmap Shades. It's a nice idea, but ultimately useless.

The disadvantage of using the control method mentioned earlier is that it makes it impossible to dip at the tape, although you should still get gold. Megadrive players should ensure that their joypod lead is facing towards them during the hurdles, allowing you to press the jump button.

The button techniques for the Master System and Game Gear are difficult to master for the hammer, but when used properly produce the best results.

Megadrive users should find the control method detailed here the best (and easiest).

The key to achieving fast times in the swimming is restryint. Build up a steady rhythm of button presses so that you stay just in the lead for the first three lengths.

Pori way down the final length switch to a fast button technique, keeping a careful eye on how much energy you have left so you don't boost your speed too soon.

This is probob sion of the game to master thanks to the problem of keeping the machine still whilst hammering the buttons. The best thing to do is to place the Game Gear on a flat surface with your left thumb on the Dpad and your fingers around the top of the case. For the speed events slide your index finger rapidly across the two re buttons, alternately pressng each one. It may be more eciive to use both your index second fingers side by side nding e size of your S.

you hove problems with the two tton techniques suggested in e manual there is a third method which may be of some use. Hold the control pod between your thumb and index finger so your thumb covers both fire buttons. Keep a fairly loose grip the pod may be pivoted at a point between the two buttons. hen playing a speed event, vibrate your hand up and down, pressing each button alternately with your thumb. This technique can be used effectively the hurdles, 100 metres, swimming and hammer throwing.

The main trick to mastering the diving is to carefully watch the demonstration. At first, stick to the easier dives as a ten awarded for one of these is as valuable as one from a for more complicated manoeuvre.

Only move onto the more impressive stuff once you know what you're doing (and you wont to impress your pals).

onic the Hedgehog is the phenomenon of the nineties. A legend in his spiky blue lifetime. A creature so far removed from the norm that he just couldn't help but become something huge. A blue hedgehog that travels at speeds in excess of a hundred miles per hour? Yet the mania surrounding Sego's video game superstar has exceeded the limits that surely, even Sego themselves imagined. In the sequel to the 3,7 million selling game that made him what he is today. Sonic is joined by a two and a half years old fox with two tails named Miles. Miles worships Sonic and longs to be the some as him when he grows up. So the heroic 'hog is pursued by this toddling apprentice wherever he goes, even following him into the very face of death as Sonic aims to rid the planet of the evil Dr Robotnik once more, Are you fast enough to keep up?

HEDGEHOG A Sonic end tails beat a hasty retreat!

In Sonic's first outing on the Megadrive he was required to collect six precious gems known as Chaos Emeralds, but he could only obtain these by entering special zones that were reached upon collecting more than fifty rings per stage. The special zones, strange, rotating psychedelic affairs, hove been replaced in Sonic II by high speed races between Sonic and Miles down brightly coloured chutes. They are entered if Sonic has fifty rings in his possession when he touches o Star Post.

COMMENT Take l e a v e it, there really is nothing else -II S o n i c on the Megadrive with his immediate 1 appeal and simplistic, yet exciting 1 gameplay. Though he hasn't escaped completely unscathed from 1 those intent on finding faults, Sega have 1 obviously listened hard to many r criticisms made about the of the first game, mainly that it was too easy. The result is that t hey' v .produced a very jolly sequel indeed. Apart from being ne twice the size of the original, Sonic II has lots more feature particular the two-player competition game option. Sonic himself sports many new frames of animation that all add to his character and give the game a much slicker appearance than its predecessor. Sonic is also much, much faster. At least twice as fast than before in some places. The all-new special zones are a riot and cannot fail to leave most mouths gaping. Sonic II has certainly impressed me enough to be named the most impressive roller coaster, pinball, one-armed-bandit, platform game to date on the Megadrive and you just gotta get it.

Le Ll nvive (KW rear Sonic is such a he t h e next generation of kids in So m e t o w n all aspire to be like him so N o n e more so than a two and a ha year old fox with two tails named Miles, This wildlife wonnabe, nicknamed 'Toils', follows Sonic around hoping to learn something from the maestro. In the oneplayer game Miles has been allowed to accompany Sonic on his mission to at Dr Robotnik, so long os he n't get in the way too much and ds over any rings that he should find.

bust m a i s e as they • , and e n d i t is staggering. Sonic II is a blinding stonker!

None of the criticisms of the original apply here: Sonic Ills faster, slicker, more colourful, louder, bigger and much, much tougher than the original. There's no way even Sonic experts could call this easy! The perfectly graduated difficulty eases you into the game, and once in you're hooked.

Bye bye dinner. Cheerio bedtime. So long weekend. I was hooked, and how! It's packed with features, has loads of secrets, and rounds it all up with a superlative twoplayer mode that'll have your friends queuing round the block to play. Brilliant!

If you miss Sonic II you should be committed to a loony bin!

W do h get if you you give a a lowly, common or garden t hedgehog on attitude? Sonic the Hedgehog of course! No-one quite knew what to expect of this character when he first raced onto the scene a little over a year ago, but he took the gaming world by storm! Well now he's bock, older, cleverer and foster than ever before, and this time he's brought along his young friend Miles Prower (Miles per hour - geddit? I didn't - JAZ) rAKA Tails the Fox. After bouncing the balding Dr Robotnik off the face of South island, Sonic's home, our speedy chum hod been enjoying a time of peace and tranquility. Duckin' on' a divin'. Wheelin an a dealin'.

Havin'-a-dip-in-the-sea-an'-adrinking-lemonade-in-the-midday-sun. Until the crazed RoPotnik decided that it was a good time for a comeback that is, Just as Sonic and Miles were enjoying a game of beach ball, the egg-like one descended upon the sand and stole poor Tails away with Sonic in hot pursuit. It is here where we join them in this second, speed of light adventure on the Master System.

A Sonic faces up ye an endlev•l meanie! Arghlthi

A Arghhhi A kMer meanie of doom!

A Very picturesque eh?

Perhaps some of you have heard rumours about a new character in Sonic II nicknamed Two Tails?. He is, in fact, called Miles and has unfortunately been nabbed by the dastardly Dr Robotnik. This is a crying shame because Miles is Sonic's best friend and if there's one thing to get Sonic all mad it's the n a l l a of his best friend called Miles. This means that Miles is conspicuous by his absence throughout the game, unlike the Megadrive version where the aspiring little chap joins Sonic to help him out No matter, Sonic has plenty to occupy his mind.

o Smash those walls, Sonic? M a k !

Sonit's got the skids here.

MINE'S A SPIN A N D SONIC There's no nice-and -easy- until-you-get-the- hang -ofit goings on in Sonic II. Oh deary no! The first level sees Sonic careering along the tracks of an abandoned mine in a rickety old mine cart. The trouble is that the mines are flooded with molten lava and the tracks ain't whet they used to be In some places the rails have given way altogether and Sonic needs to spin-lump his spiky bod across the gaps and, hopefully, land in another across the way, Gumphl

C O M M E N T First let me tell you that Sonic II received a lot of admiring glances from people in the games room when it arrived. Then I told them that it was the Master System version I was playing and watched as their jaws hit the carpet. Sonic has given Master System owners something to sing about once again. Sega have pulled out all the stops and truly let rip in Sonic's second race across the boards. As soon as the battle for Tails' freedom commences the action is literally red hot and the gameplay mega slick.

Different modes of transport are available to Sonic, which spice things up no end, injecting new life into Sonic's already impressive repertoire. It's also refreshing to find that the endof-level-bosses are a variety of giant robotic animals instead of Dr Robotnik every time the performing seal is hilarious. I was disappointed to find that the special zones have been excluded this time around but then who needs 'em when the quality of the game is so good anyway.

PRESENTATION Al•An amusingly unlimited introduction '<teen along with bold cartoon•like intermissionscreens,

COMMENT Stunning! Sonic II is all that Master System players could hope for and morel It looks superb, with great backgrounds and brilliant sprites that wouldn't look amiss on the Megadrive. But better still is the gameplayt Slick, fast, challenging, varied, fun, addictive... this is truly a game that you just can't put down. The difficulty level is beautifully balanced so that you get so far— fail._ get a bit further.., f a i l - but keep on going and going because you're determined to see what's on the next level. This is definitely one of the greatest Master System games of all time, and you'd be the saddest person alive if you missed hi

HANGING THE 'HOG

People would think you mad if you were to describe to them that you just saw a cool blue hedgehog flying past on a hang-glider.

Yet this is exactly what can be seen in Sonic II. Having failed numerous attempts at flight using balloons, for obvious reasons, Sonic takes to the skies beneath the wing of a hong-glider. In some instances Sonic con manage well enough without this piece of kit. However theretherare occasions where flying is necessary to complete the level or else fall foul to some uninviting rough terrain. The best results ore achieved when Sonic (II) takes a huge run up to gather speed and then the sky's his limit.

THE TRUI3BLE WITH BUBBLES You may not know this but blue hedgehogs oren't very good swimmers, and Sonic is probably the worst of them all. In fact, he's so bad that the only way he can negotiate any stretches of water at all is to hitch a lift inside a bubble. Great core is taken here though, since crashing into walls bursts his hopes of a future on 1 1 1 dry land, as do spikes (though strangely not his Own) and ony undersea wandering creature that Hop pens along.

K evin awokemorn one fine Christmas to find that his house was empty, his family all gone to Paris without him. What a terrible state of affairs, but then his family is so big, occasionally leaving a kid behind while they jet off to Europe is just par for the course, clad Kevin (Macaulay Culkin) is such a revoltingly smug brat that you'd want to leave him behind anyway.

An-e-e-way. There he is having a good laugh, putting on

This, of course, is not a good thing, so Kevin decides to stop them from getting away with the goods by laying a series of traps which should hold them up just long enough for the rozzers to get to the scene.

REVIEW COMMENT K - adventures left me cold. Once the fine blizzard of pretty characters and backdrops • has cleared there isn't e much worthy of mention. a No doubt the lives of many a thousand Macaulay Culkin fans l will be brightened should they receive this game for Christmas, yet r , ullness is sure to prevail in a very a art time. The sledge scenes are l ry uninspiring as are the tedious, r excursions in each of the pstick ses. Iareally couldn't give a hoot as to how many M houses got flooded by the Wet Bandits, nor P how many times they pinned Kevin to the I wall. Then, finally, when the police arrived W I was neither happy or sad, just glad that the torture was over. There is i a small amount of fun to be had in devising a new rand interesting weapons to blow the boddies away, turning them into snowmen is quite a laugh (ha, ha) but that, as they say, is it. Buy Home Alone and that's exactly where you'll end up, lust you watch.

Sno'good I lust can't do if..

Inside the • - • house : , J, 111.1 locatedore various bits and bobs that Kevin uses to construct a inventory of weapons- For example a combination of the hair dryer, rubber bands and snowballs produces a Snowball Bazooka, Whereos a collection of Crossbow, balloons and glue lends itself nicely to form a Glue Rifle. Once equipped these weapons are a sure way of driving the thieves away from any house and thus to save the day.

into the beautifully varnished front door. In the meanwhile he slithers about the frozen land in search of snowmen to demolish beneath which items are hidden. Kevin uncovers snowballs, cools and Super Balls by doing this which he is able to use as ammunition against the two crooks. Such sledge abuse is also a good way of following the Wet Bandits' van around.

REVIEW C O M M E N T •Home Alone has plenty potential as a decent console game, but sadly this one falls well short of it. The main problem is the lack of action. The motor-sledge section could have been entertaining, but the cont method is confusing (surely a rotational steering method would have made more sense) and there isn't enough to do. The snowme are too spread out and other than hunting them down there's nothing at all to hold your interest. Once inside the houses, hazards are few and for between.

Perhaps the odd cat or security robot might give you some grief, but other than that irs just a case of wandering around waiting for the Wet Bandits to find you. When you do finally encounter the Bandits, it's nigh on impossible to assemble a decent weapon unless you've got about a zillion different items collected from all the houses in the game. Slow, dull and repetitive, perhaps this ought to be called Leave Alone.

These ore the very crooks that Kevin is up against. They're known as the Wet Bandits because of their reputation for flooding houses after looting them. Unfortunately for them, their skills at burglary leave little to be desired Parking a huge von outside a house is enough to arose anyone's suspicions, so therefore it isn't difficult to assert where the Wet bandits or e a bout to strike next.

MASTER SYSTEM

n o e s anyone remember L I David Mellor? Naughty, naughty. It just goes to remind us what our elected guardians con be up to without our knowing it. As special patrolman of the Special Criminal Investigation unit you too know first-hand evidence of corruption. In your case it's the city's mayor cavorting round the city's highwoys in the company of known criminals, kidnapping pretty young girls ond strapping them to bombs. Come bock Antonia - all is forgiven!

Of course, rather than investigate the drugs deals and abductions you ore for more concerned with the flagrant disregard for the suburban speed limit that these crooks are showing. With odvice from HQ, you set out onto the freeway, with the sole intention of stopping the marked car, but it has a good start on you. So race after it, smash it off the rood and keep your channel open for further devel• opment,

FRONT MOUNTED SHOOTER

Hurrah for guns! The reason being they make it so much easier to dodge the traffic. Strap a gun to your roof rack and the jams just seem to evaporate (into steoming wrecks by the roadside). The SCI vehicle comes equipped with such a weapon, which can be used on moving enemies and obstacles. Occasionally ot fortuitous points a helicopter of lawful persuasion hovers above you, and drops an improved g u n -bob on your bona). m i - For five

shots you have superduper rocket launcher powers.

ROCKY M O U N TA I N W A Y SCI1 drivers face all the complications thrown up by a deteriorating transport infrastructure (ie. bad roads) which stand in the way between you ond your 'collar'. The highways in this game are uniformly deadly. Roads tend to narrow without warning, and plenty of objects liner them like work signs and bushes in desert areas. Off-rood is even more dangerous There you con wrap yourself round a lamppost or a cactus whilst avoiding the embrace of a greyhound bus.

Chase HQ wasn't too bad, but his is a veritable skid pan and I'm not talking oily roads. The sprites are flickery, the 3D update is poor and the landscapes are bland and featureless. As well as looking crap, it plays crap as well.

Let's ignore the general faults such as the naff collision detection, rubbish controls and the fact that the car careens through objects and out of crashes at top speed and concentrate on the real problems - the difficulty setting. For a start you're given lashings of time to race down the simplistic roads. Then, when you reach the enemy car you discover it's about as robust as a wet paper bog and smashing it off the rood takes little or no effort. Even hopeless players should be able to finish the game within a few hours - experts should take a couple of goes! Put a couple of quid in the coin-op and buy something else.

Pahl So many bad things to say; not enough time to say them. Once again a nonsense of a game arrives to odd to the Master System's blushes.

Just about everything here is unsatisfactory. The graphics are dismal, flickery affairs creating such scenic delights as "Pathetic luke" and "very empty desert'''. At one point you are advised to ovoid a landslide. What landslide! It's physically impossible to have one when the courses are flatter than Fanny Craddock's pancakes. Fans of equal proportion will be glad to hear the gameplay is directly comparable to the look - pure smeg. You slip and you slide in a fashion more becoming a toboggan than a high-speed sports car, and find yourself in ludicrously unavoidable crash situations. Not to worry!

You can continue at top speed most of the time after crashing. What a comedy of errors of Dick Emery proportions.

The lack of challenge is normally a down point, but here at least it means the whole debacle is over with as quickly as possible.

Flying in straight at number one is Flying Edge's excellent Megadnve adaptation of the lacklustre Alien 3 movie. A well deserved place for a game boasting superb animation, atmospheric backdrops and amazing music. What will it take to move this amazing cart from the top of the charts?

Once again we're treated to watching the same few games change positions this month because of the lack of new releases!

Still, Olympic Gold still ranks as the top Game Gear cart, but will a new game arrive on the scene to change all that?

Until some. one hit upon the idea of designt a fleet of craft using the same ing h attributes of the mutants. With e these ships men could destroy the hideous creatures and flush them S from the world. The next idea was l to give these ships extra powers, i which they could attain from the m 'energies of the air'. With these y topper ideas the people of Earth embarked on their glorious plan

t isn't often that the mighty Harrod admits to being severely tested by a game, yet he quite openly stated that he'd almost met his motch with Bio Hazard's store of the grotesque. He finished it, of course, but us mortals have really got our work cut out, believe you me.

There's never a level goes by without something truly horrible floating on screen to scare the life out of you before mercilessly finishing you off. Even with two people joining forces to exorcise the sickening scum, the mission at hand is nigh on impossible. In fact it seems easier on your own as there is less confusion.

Sometimes you're not quite sure of who's where and what's to avoid. Yet Bio Hazard is a welcome reassurance that Sega know exactly what we want and are starting to give it to us.

In fine style! The stylish andvaried gameplay, due to the choice of ships so prevalent in Bio Hazard coupled with the best sprites I've ever seen on the Megodrive, nay anywhere, make this an absolute necessity.

Bio Hazard takes you to d s of the earth in your slime-ridding quest.. n d e r w a t e r level presents itself, complete s t r a n g e life-f based on the creatures that live on the sea.

The next, Manta resembles some sort sea ray, with its, bluish sleek lines and Rat fins. The third choice, Repto, is reminiscent of an ancient reptilian form, with a red fork tail and horny headprotector. Lastly, Masa borrows

insect design to produce a fast flying craft just like the bloodsucking mosquito.

The four craft you can select to do baffl e in the game. Nice oh?

y t j k l i The worst excesses of mutation hang arrit 7a pipes and conduits of the sewage level. This is one t h eof the most restricted areas for movement, with ships and enemies crowded into the space between the intersecting tubes. Horrible spongy creatures use the pipes for transport, carried on tentacled legs. Hanging from the metal outcrops are some bulbous, sickly-green pods, bulging and fit to burst with pus all over your smart paintwork.

When you go into the woods, you are ensured a big surprise. What could be more unnerving than palm trees sprouting wings and attacking you.

Actaieel Vorious other flora-type enemies emerge, including a great stomping tree man, who waves his woody claws. The level ends with a huge snake-like monstrosity awakened from his resting place inside a human carcass.

Rio Hazard supports one- and two-player game modes. The two-player mode allows both players to play simultaneously.

Each player has to select a different ship jtor identification).

When the first player loses all his lives he can 'borrow' some of his friend's remaining lives.

n all-action shot from the game lohazard. Watch evil

MIDGET E M S Regularly, coloured gems float by you as you ploy Bio Hazard. Seize them! They are power-ups for your ship, but make sure you collect them in an order that will benefit your ship. Each of the colour codes adds a weapon power to your drone ship - the tiny satellite craft that flies with you.

Each of the four gems (excluding green) creates two separate effects, depending on what ship you have chosen. Here is that odd on armoury in full:

Twoplayer, plenty of levels and tweaks.

Every so often along comes a really good game. No frills, no gimmicks just well programmed, solid blasting. Bio Hazard fits into this category. The initial levels are mildly impressive, but as you progress you realise just how spectacular some of the action is.

Scenes like the underground tunnel and the underwater level are minor classics. The graphics ore excellent, with some of the best designed and animated sprites on any system.

The sound is equally brilliant, perfectly capturing the sinister, slightly strange feel of the whole game. What will really appeal to many, I suspect, is that Bio Hazard is rock hard. Even easy Is a challenge and a half, and no-one is going to grumble about another pushover on the Megadrive. For once the difficulty level has been well-balanced with an adequate supply of continues. To round it off is the two-player option, which can be a bit hectic with till those bullets flying, but fun nonetheless. Maybe a bit off the wall for some mainstream players, but this will assuredly become a cult classic for blaster fans.

A ission of destruction and death through a lmajor American city may sound like a rather sick tlicense of the LA riots, it is actually a conversion of the t acclaimed Megodrive beat 'em up. Streets of Rage is the story of two ex-cops, Blaze and Axel, who iare determined to smash the corrupt local governlment led by the nefarious Mr Big who, surprise surh prise, happens to be a criminal mastermind.

Unfortunately for our heroes the rest of the police o force (and all the inhabitants of the city it would u seem) are siding with the evil kingpin, g Blaze and Axel's mission is simple - walk around h town killing everyone. After sufficient people hove a been slaughtered, Mr Big himself must be laid to rest g the few citizens still living con rebuild their lives in so apeace. m e c a l Both Blaze and Axel are a bit tasty with the old l kung-fu skills, although each of them has their own repertoire of moves. Axel, the strongest, has a e flying knee jump, a power uppercut and a shouldder throw to his name, plus a spinning backfist to Sprotect his rear. Blaze, the fastest, has a somert sault kick, flying kick and rolling throw along with r a reverse roundhouse to put paid to sneaky backstabbers. Both characters ecan also let loose on eimpressive series of puncht es, plus execute a powerful spiledriver when grabbing oon enemy from behind, f R a g e d e t a i l i n g Alters airplane spins were the a t alk of the neighborhood.

Game Gear owners need a decent beat 'em up for their pint-sized machine and Streets of Rage fits the bill quite nicely. The graphics are Incredibly close to the Megadrive version, with all the moves of the characters and the backdrops crammed In. The sound isn't as good as the Megadrive, obviously, but the tunes ore still pretty good and the effects do the lob admirably. As for as gameplay goes, Streets of Rage Is a much tougher game than the Megadtive counterpart. This is down in part to the problems of sprites ganging up on you when you're helpless (see Radian's comment for the full description of this problem), but mostly it's because the enemy sprites seem to be a lot more "intelligent" than their Megadrive counterparts and less susceptible to your grabbing attacks. With two-players participating, Streets of Rage is even better, making it a decent enough beat 'em up for Game Gear owners starved of fighting games.

INSTRUMENTS OF DARKNESS

D e n t cryity toni -y -i ght.

Waging a war against a million killer death warriors whilst unarmed does seem a bit suicidal_ Luckily, Axel and Blaze do hove the sense to pick up a weapon when one comes their way. There are only three instruments of death in Game Gear Streets of Rage and these are: PIPE: Has a long swing range and does the some damage as a piledriver.

C O M M E N T Looking at Streets of Rage for the first time I was amazed by how closely it resembles the Megadrive game. The graphics and sound are spot-on copies of the old 16-bit favourite. However, there are a couple of levels and some other gubbins missing and the lost levels really are quite noticeable.The other problem is with the programming of the opponents. As soon as your character begins to stand up after after having been knocked down all the enemies on screen bunch up and kick you all over the shop. This sometimes means losing an entire life bar before you can escape the deadly repeat routine.

However, this doesn't happen all the time, and for the most part Streets of Rage is a very enjoyable game to play, it's just that when something like that bug does happen it makes the game intensely frustrating. Streets of Rage is really the only choice for Game Gear-owning beat gem up fans, and as long as you don't expect too much you shouldn't be disappointed. A good game, but not one which matches up to the original.

Ceeling so hyped about some' thing that it becomes bod for your health is something the Americans are strangely occustomed to by now. Let's face it, they get excited about anything.

Until a certain hamburger chain arrived over here a burger was just a burger. Now this some company cloims that a visit to their shop makes your day.

If a race of people con be so obsessive over such a menial thing, imogine the distressing furor that erupts over a sport like football. As for removed from our beloved game of soccer as Mahatma Ghondi was from Hitler, American football is the biggest noise in the spectrum of world sport - anybody who has watched coverage of this spectacle on Channel 4 would testify to that.

Super High Impact from Arena is a celebration of the most striking aspects of this massive American phenomena. Ignoring the the sportsmanlike conduct and camaraderie so prevalent in true to life football games Arena hove converted this wild and crazy Midway coin-op to the Megadri Be prepared to literally fight for recognition in this latest, skullcrushing American Football outing on the Megadrive. You have been warned.

There's a lesson to be learned here and that is if a job's worth doing its worth doing property. Like if your teams are going to flatten the offense, they may as well do some damage while they're at it, To let you know just how much pain your team has inflicted, should your team make a noticeably wicked tackle, Super High Impact displays a hit-ometer. The teom's work is rated from granny tackle to awesome with a chap who looks like Dave Lee Travis screaming the results out from the screen.

Players hate to be humiliated. If a team gets trashed by the defense, the fuses of a few short tempers are sure to burn out and a fight begins.

More often than not somebody shouts 'eat this' and proceeds to lay into anyone wearing a different colour kit to themself. At this point everybody joins in. Including you Each team's fight meter is displayed on screen and the first to reach the top wins the battle. To ensure your team's victory it is neccessary to hammer away at the A. B and C buttons as fast as possible, or else witness the hideous gloating of the other team and know that your team are all dweebs.

Super High Impact is very entertaining, but only for a rt while. The extravagant sentation of the game Is ard to ignore, even the ridiculous fight sequences, hit-o-meter and outrageous tackle routines are sure to raise a laugh. However this says nothing about the depth gameplay and its chances sustaining interest past the I day. The fact that the me has been converted - e r from the arcade says ch about its style and pre•ntation. Those looking for • mething to rival the realism and strategy of Electronic Arts' John Madden masterpiece won't find it here. Super High Impact contains some interesting features and is playable in a way meant purely for fun, but there is no place for any amount of skill.

There are no noticeable differences in the teams' strengths or weaknesses so s lust a case of choosing the st appealing kit and getg on with the game. The oice of plays available is restricted to lust thirteen offensive and defensive formations, none of which make any significant difference to the game once the ball is in play. This comes as a relief when you consider that the choices of offense and defense ore displayed side by side for both players to look at. Don't be fooled by the way this one looks or its easily accessible gameplay.

Remember that you don't necceuarily need to be an American Football expert to get the most out of John madden's but the option is there to learn. With Super High Impact there lust isn't enough content to carry it beyond half on hour of pleasing aesthetic action. As such it is best to avoid.

The way in which 1 some of the players on the receiving end of a heavy tackle get token down is quite worrying. In fact it's a wonder that they ever recover. Players can consider themselves fortunate to get away with their helmet being knocked off when there is the possibility of on unceremonious disrobing ot the hands of a rampant linebacker.

Shoulder pods, shirt, shin pads and pants get strewn everywhere as the unfortunate lad is left wearing just his underwear in full view of the stadium's spectators.

M It takes E40 to find out the some thing about this O n the M surface the game looks great.

The visuals ore very good, the sound is neat and there ore E some brilliant presentation touches N that are very similar to the arcade game. The problem is, though, that the gameplay is very poor indeed. There are only thirteen play actions, there's very little difference between the teams, the game difficulty is moronically low (even on the hardest setting) and the action itself is simplistic beyond belief, with little skill required to score touchdowns or stop an oppenent's offensive drhre. Even with two players, the lack of excitement, variety and depth means that it only takes a couple of hours to get completely bored of this. Super High Impact is all frills and no substance - if you want American football action, try any Megodrive American football game other than this.

Unfortunately, your o progress is halted by a number of devious puzzles p the gods have prepared for you.

So, along with your brown and weaponry skills, your r intellect and puzzle-solving capabilities are needed , to progress.

I've only played the Amiga version a couple of times, but even with that little experience I can see this is a much better game. The graphics are slicker, the gameplay foster and the tunes more menacing. The only gripe is the joypod control, which is unnecessarily fiddly and causes frustration at first, but once mastered there's a huge game in there waiting to be discovered. Although it doesn't look packed full of original features, Gods mixes platforming, shooting and puzzling brilliantly to produce a challenging and addictive game that no selfrespecting Megodrive owner should be without.

Each weapon has a power rating. This dictates how quickly it takes your weapon to despatch the enemy sprites. A level one meanie, for instance, is instantly destroyed with a power one weapon (like the dagger). Should you attempt the some thing with nasties on the last level, it takes around 12 hits to kill one beast! Power-up your weaponry regularly.., or suffer the consequences!

THIS MEANS NOTHING TO ME Some of the tunes in Gods were composed by none other than John Foxx. He was originally a member of Ultravox, but left and went solo (while they turned completely sad and commercial, producing "New Romantic" hits like Vienna) and become involved in the early hardcore synthesizer scene. His hits include Underpass and Burning Car.

At the end of each level, the trader enters the city to sell you some gear. The amount of money you hove to spend depends on how many cash tokens you've picked up and saved in the previous rounds. Your spondoolics ore best spent on the likes of new weaponry and extra lives, Potions ore also ovoilable to boost the power ratings of your weapons, odd some energy to your life meter or buy a familiar! For those who can't guess, the familiar is a multiple las in Grodius) that swoops around you, attacking meanies! Cool!

I've been looking forward to this one for ages.

I thought the Amiga game was decent, let down only by a lock of speed. This is no simple port-over. Renegade have recruited wellknown coders Graftgold to do the honours, and they've done a fine job. It's fast, smooth and well executed, with stylish graphics and some very decent music (shame about level one's tune, though. What went wrong?). I did have problems with the control method.

Getting on to ladders is a real pain with the joypad and takes ages to get the hang of.

Despite that though, Gods is a super skillful game, boasting weeks of arcade action and devious puzzling to keep you occupied.

However, Sega Europe don't want to release it for some bizarre reason, so you're going to hove to buy on import copy if you want to play It! Doh! Well worth investing in if you're after a game that lasts weeks longer than the dull, easy scrolling shoot 'em ups every other Megadrive game seems to be.

As it transpires all the contestonts were on board, every last one including the favourite Miss Brazil, and our own old boiler, Miss UK.

The mission notes confirm Bond's worst fears. e island is a massive complex of connected platforms, spread over a huge oreo, crawling with Group Four security guards. Winning through would test his climbing and shooting skills to the limit. He also realised that destroying the nerve centre of each level of Blofeld's complex would need to be done in order to save the world!

C O M M E N T I was really looking forward to playing this one. After all, James Bond is an excellent licence and is well-suited to a console game.

Unfortunately, I found James Bond 007: The Duel to be lacking in certain departments.

First of all, Bond himself is just too unresponsive to work well in the game. The animation Is way too slow. When you want 007 to fire, he spends ages lifting his weapon and pulling the trigger. You have to try to predict when guards appear in time for your bullets to hit hardly a reaction tester at all. The graphics are also quite disappointing. The Bond sprite itself is truly excellent, but some of the backdrops are garishly coloured. What's more, I doubt that Bond would be half as popular with the ladies if he looked anything like his representation on the title screen. Although the action is quite a goad laugh once you get Into it, you have to realise that there are only four levels. The Megadrive has many excellent platform games available for it, including (as Gus likes to point out), the brilliant Alien 3 - which is much like this, but much bigger and a lot more fun to play.

REVIEW

•Ur M i t

Bond is under constant fire from Blofeld's security men, all clod in grey, following the usual corporate image of evil villains' fortresses. Each has a regulation pistol and doesn't hesitate to shoot on sight.

Inter on special security men in black test Bond's marksmanship to the limit. To balance the odds Bond carries his Walther PPK with him everywhere, with enough ammunition to liberate Bosnial However, be careful, because sometimes Bond has to stop and change on empty magazine, which gives the enemy time to blow him into the middle of next weekl

To avoid the guards and Blofeld's traps Bond can use the scenery around him Just like Rolling Thunder, there ore plenty of doorways Bond can hide in. When standing concealed in these openings the guards run on post their quarry and Bond con give them the slip. Using unconventional methods can yield results. On the first level swimming in the sato con get you past some tricky guards. On the forest level climbing along creepers brings you to a hidden platform you con use to ur great advantage.,

AMI

B Y IMBECILES?

Super villains are notoriously picky about the performance of their minions. More than one oafish thug has been fed to the piranhas for failing in their allotted duties. But this time Blofeld has tried to ensure no hitches occur by hiring the best of the past Bond enemies and placing them around his island fortress. On the first level Bond is surprised to find Jaws, the 'gentle' giant of Moonroker, threatening to throw him into the water. On the forest level is the knife-throwing presence of Baron Somedi (Live and Let Die).

He'd, there is a fleeting cameo of Mayday (View to a Kill) and on the final level is the lovable hotthrowing Odd job from Goldfinger. With this lot Blofeld should have no need to complain. fiend faces Bones' kniley greetings.

However, a solourn in this subterranean hot-house is required- As well as the deadly lava pits, which kill on contact, the coves are home to mysterious fire-flies which can weaken our furry friend. By this time there ore plenty of spikes lining the floor and roof, and plenty of crevasses leading to doom.

Ws that time again - put the boot into the Master System.

However, on this occasion it's done with regret. The time I spent playing Tax Mania was really enjoyable, I think the game itself plays in a superior fashion to the Megadrive version. But the major flaw of that game has been carried over and Master System Tax Mania is also far too easy. I can't fault the graphics are sound: they're fob, with great variety for each level. The layouts for each level and clever, and some of the areas are quite taxing. But there is just far too much chicken lying around. If there was less extra energy and lives thrown about we might have a bit of a challenge. One annoying feature of the Megadrive, inserted here, is the resetting of bonuses for each new life, enabling the accumulation o masses of lives: This is not good game design. Having t criticise Tax Mania is so irritoting, because with a little tweaking all these complaint would be groundless. As things stand, I would recommend this great, but very easy game to young children and novices.

Tax Mania on the Megadrive was a graphically stunning title with some great ideas which were spoiled by the game's lack of challenge.

Whilst the Master System version follows very much in the presentational footsteps of its predecessor, with some of the best graphics seen on the machine for ages, efforts have been made to make things tougher. For a start, the spin power bar has been introduced, preventing crafty players from just spinning through most of each level and enjoying permanent invincibility. The levels also contain more deadly drops and smaller platforms to force more accurate jumping. There are also quite a few levels to add some longevity to the title.

However, there are a couple of glitches. Firstly, there aren't enough enemies, which means the threat comes mostly from tricky platform arrangements and accidentally eaten bombs.

Not surprisingly, this makes Taz Mania very easy. Secondly most levels have at least one extra life secreted around them. These lives are reset when Toz dies, meaning that if he keeps collecting them all, levels can be completed without losing a life, or even gaining one! Sadly, this means that the time taken to up the difficulty of Taz was wasted. A pity really as it spoils what would otherwise be a classic Master System title.

AV You've made it! Now you have only to cross the final leg, the fabled valley of the Sea-birds. Here the terrain comprises of water-filled valleys and towering rocky outcrops that Taz perches on precariously. Of course, only the hardiest of creatures lives in such a place, so be prepared for the mondabilled rock lizards, and the bizarre hopping rock monsters. The ground here is so uneven that you hove to be coreful not to slip to your doom, and sometimes leaps across vast spaces ore the only way forward.

Greyloncer treads the wellworn scroll, blast 'n' powerup boards with few new ideas to show off. Its best point is its different firing modes, but what a shame to only allow the player to pick one mode at a time. Cycling through them mid-game would have added a whole new aspect to the otherwise dull proceedings. Another problem is that you spend more time dodging things than blasting, which quickly gets tedious. The game desperately needs more action. But what really killed it all off for me is that the game is very easy to complete. Shoot 'em up fans 11should breeze through this within a day. The graphics, sound and presentation are all okay, but really Greylancer falls fiat in the playability department. If you're after a decent blaster there are loads of better ones that this - Thunderforce III and IV, Hellfire, Gynoug, Bio Hazard are just a few of the alternatives.

MEEP MEEP ROO The Grey Lancer certainly is advanced. Not only does it possess such sophisticated weapons systems, it also has a variable speed gearbox too! This allows the pilot to alter the velocity of the ship at the touch of a button.

Although top speed is the handiest for space combat, there are •imes when slower speeds are essential. One prime example of this is a section on a later level where a number of rocks fly past and there is only one safe spot on screen. At top whack, the screen scrolls too quickly forcing the pilot to duck out of cover whilst there are still rocks about.

More safety conscious drivers have plenty of time before the cover scrolls off-screen

However, once a main program has been chosen at the beginning of the game it is locked in until the end of that credit. The programs and their applications ore os follows.

inkle Tale. What a lovely name. It inspires visions of fluffy cuddly Core Bears on a mission to help old people and make everyone sick with their candy floss cuteness True enough, the star of Twinkle Tale is a sweet little girl called Twinkle.

However, this is where the jolliness stops. See, Twinkle is in foct a child prodigy with an extensive mastery of the arcane arts. Not surprisingly this gets her into all sorts of magic-related scrapes, such as her latest escapade which involves four magic gems.

Thousands of years ago, there were three primal forces embodied in their rowest form as globes of magic energy. One day the three forces clashed and from the resulting explosion a fourth force, that of pure magic was formed. The blast also had one other effect, which was to transform all four energies into jewels, and from that day each one was guarded by a powerful mage. As is often the case in these situations, the four mages have been kidnapped and the four ultra-powerful magic items have fallen into the wrong hands. It is now up to Twinkle to travel the lengths of the Mystic Kingdom and free the gems before they ore used to wreak destruction throughout the planet.

SPIDER'S LAIR

M O N S T E R SKANK Twinkle Tale is certainly a bizarre name for such a macabre shoot 'em up, but then again, at least it avoids all the blasting cliches which we're all so tired of. The graphics are superb, with large, detailed sprites and excellent use of colour throughout. Once you get into the game (le about halfway through the first level), the playfield starts scrolling in all directions and the danger comes not only from enemies but from rock slides, precarious winding bridges and traps as much as from the plentiful supply of evil monsters. it's this constant struggle to stay alive, which isn't easy with only one life and a three-hit energy bar, which helps make Twinkle Tale such a great cart. Even on the easiest difficulty setting things are pretty tough; on the hardest it's a challenge to match any other on the Niegadrive.

Although the Mystic Kingdom may look nice from OK, the idegadrive isn't afar, it is actually populated with some of the vilest exactly shot, on shoot 'em creatures from mythology ever. The standard hordes ups, but with its sprawling of goblin archers and knife-throwing skeletons aren•t play area and challenging exactly pushovers, but they're fluffy kittens compared gameplay Twinkle Tale is certo some of the beasts found lurking in the middle tainly one which you should and at the end of levels The first gargantuan terror try out, providing you're not is the Chimera found at the end of level one, with too embarrassed to ask for it following levels populated by Demon Trees, hydras In the shop. ond a pretty gruesome giant spider, who dies in true arachnid fashion when Twinkle blows its legs off'

With a name like Twinkle Tale, you immediately think this is going to be a real wet simpering pansy of a game.

But nothing could be further from the truth. No siree bob!

Twinkle Tale is a challenging blaster which also features great graphics, good tunes, thumping sound effects and plenty of fast and furious action. Although there aren't many different weapons and many levels of power-ups, there are enough enemies and other hazards to keep you more than busy, and the game is cetiainly big. Don't let the rather inane plot and the fact that the game doesn't feature laser-equipped space ships put you off. Twinkle Tale is one of the best shoot 'em ups I've played on the Megadrive this year.

However, each icon only powers up one weapon by one level, so for a full power arsenal six icons are needed. To make things a bit trickier, every time Twinkle takes a hit the weapon in current use loses a level, as well as Twinkle losing a notch off her energy bar. The three spells at her command are as such: Starts life as a pretty measly forward-firing twin shot.

Fires two energy spears straight forward. Powers up to fire three and finally four speors at once. Very powerful indeed , but has the drawback of only firing in a straight line in front of Twinkle and having a fairly slow fire rate.

SEEKER7Fires a single ball of energy which homes in on the nearest target. Power ups allow two or even three blasts to be fired at once. Fire rote is OK but it's not exactly a powerful weapon. However, it is probably the most useful of the lot, allowing Twinkle to dodge without having to worry too much about aiming.

RICH: I'd agree with that Budokan is still great. What with Street Fighter11 being so popular, you'd think that Electronic Arts would release a sequel!

WHATWE SAYNOW JAZ: I thought that because of the limited amount of levels, its appeal would wear off quickly, but it's a great game to load up and have a quick play before putting it back into the cupboards for a few months, RICH: This is one odd game that remains unique in the Megacirive range of game.

Although its lastability is questionable, I still think it's a real laugh and it is available now for E19_99l That being the case, I think the marks are spot-on.

However, be warned - the game is definitely an acquired taste and not many players will enjoy its subtleties.

RICH: I enjoyed this for a while - until I found out that there was very little difference between the 900-odd levels.

One of the first Megadrive games ever, this 3D shoot 'em up wowed the public back in 89 with its spectacular graphics and great sound.

WHATWESAID THEN JAZ: If you like your games to be more than a pretty face, give this a miss.

MATT: Fast and furious and great fun, but lacks a variety of gameplay to make it a total winner.

WHATWESAYNOW JAZ: I feel the same way about this now as I did then. It's fun, but hasn't really got enough in it to make it worthwhile for anyone other than diehard Space Harrier fans - even at its new E20 price point.

RICH: Space Harrier never really appealed to me because it all appeared rather shallow to me. I think I'd knock 10% off each mark for this game. The gomeplay is just too repetitive by today's standards.

FORGOTTEN WORLDS MACHINE: MEGADRIVE BY: SEGA A conversion of the popular Capcom shoot 'em up in which you take on the hordes of Bios. It's all standard fare - pick up the power-ups, defeat all the end-of-level baddies and destroy the final guardian to win the game.

WHATWESAID THEN JAZ: Give it a go if you fancy a good blast MATT: A brilliant, addictive game

WHATWESAY NOW JAZ: At the time there were practically no horizontally scrolling blasters available for t h e -genre has moved on a lot since M e gthen. a Graphics down to 82%, sound 73%, playability d r i vlastobility e 83%, 74% and ,overall 79%. It's fun, but thereuore loads of better b tgames these days. tRICH: Scrolling shoot 'em hups are ten-a-penny on the Megodrive these days. eAlthough Forgotten Worlds is still a good laugh it doesn't compare favourably with the likes of Gynoug, Biohazard or Hellfire.

RICH: You'd hove trouble actually finding this game nowadays, which is a shame becouse it's still quite smart It does show its age though - the flickery graphics ore unacceptable this day and age and the ease of the game in EASY mode doesn't help much either. I'd knock around 10% off each rating

0 IN1 d S e g o ' s latest hero, making ra o n the Mega CD! The basic sceri M y simple. A lowly mongrel, separated m u n g master following a picnic that went disasterously wrong, is reborn to the world as...

Wanderdogl His life's work is traverse the eight-way scrolling platform landscapes, righting wrongs and clobberi the ni living daylights out of the myriad of enemy sprites that have arrived to cause our canine some aggro! Along the way, young Wonderdog collects wings to restore his energy and radioactive bones to boost his score.

Making life more difficult are the multitude of evil bosses that ve mode their way to the and of each level. It's down to - onderdog to take on these bastions of evil and send them back to their maker.., in pieces! Only when all of this has been done con our hero return to his young owner and resume the dull, : uneventful life he led before that fateful picnic...

WHO DID IT? If the name Core Design rings a few bells amongst you lot, we aren't surprised.

These guys started by releasing games on the home computers a few years ago, with titles like Rick Dangerous to their credit. Then, they moved on to more sophisticoted games like Corvup, Jaguar and Chuck Rock.

These days, they're well into cor.sole development. Having converted Chuck Rock and Corporation to the Megadrive for Virgin Games, their first CD title is none other than Wo n d e r -Hurrah! clo g !

a, i l k MEGAD W E

PREVIEW

Wonderdog has his own very unconventional form of attack. Instead of barking at them and perhaps viciously mauling them, Wondie disposes of his foes by powering-up a groovy star that he than unleashes at his bewildered foes!

-

ACTION Wonderdog must ronk as on • of the most polished games available for a console. The action is veryjast, and the meplay extremely freneti re is no slowdown what ever and the control metho extremely responsive. As y con see from the graphics, Wonderdog is extremely pretty and the sound is pretty good A CD quality tune (cornte with sheep in the bockund) accompanies the ion and there ore loads of mpled sound effects - even an hilarious "Dohl" screeched by our hero whenever he's hit.

Funnily enough, this sample sounds suspiciously like Homer from The Simpsons!

Odd eh?

E lectronic Arts hoping to produce theore definitive American Football simulation in the form of John Madden Football '93.

They've taken their awardwinning sim, John Madden '92, and added o whole host of exciting new features.

The most obvious addition is the digitised speech that now accompanies some of the more noteworthy plays, and there ore some new crowd noises to astound and amaze Other new features include a split play-calling screen, a "no huddle" offence, and gameplay statistics for each individual player (rather than the whole team as it was in '92).

Adding to the cascade of new feotures ore the exhaustive new team statistics. There

Disky Woods is another conversion of a popular Amiga title, INthis time releosed by Electronic Arts themselves. The basic idea is that the Evil Force has token over the kingdom, by imprisoning the guardian monks of the ancient knowledge or something.

What this all boils down to is a scrolling platform game with plenty of running, jumping and blasting. Your task is to dispatch the evil minions and rescue the guardian monks from their terrible fate, Helping you along the way are many chests for you to open °that conyoin bonuses and extra weapons.

The graphics are excellent, boasting all of the quality animation and defi nition that made the Amiga game go down so well. But how well does the game ploy? That's a question that we'll be answering soon, maybe even in next month's issue of MEAN MACHINES!

Electronic Arts haven't skimped on new gameplay features either. There are many new moves for the players including heat buffs, taunting, stumbling, face-masking, one-handed catches and "catches off the shoe" (whatever they might be).

So, is it completely brilliant or is it just too similar to John Madden '92 to make it all worthwhile?

The game puts you behind the wheel of the amazing Lotus Turbo Esprit or the equally stunning (although slightly cheaper) Lotus Elan The game proffers many options. There's the chance to ploy against the computer controlled cars in one-player mode, where the entire screen is devoted to your high-speed tomfoolery.

Alternatively, your pal can stick his ioypod in and race against you °cross the ma tracks the game has to off For this mode of ploy, the screen is split in half, with mini-screen showing tics of each player. e tracks are pocked h all manner of hazards, luding puddles, road borrs, oil patches, ice patch, stationary vehicles and en massive trucks! Some f the circuits are even other conditions, includrain, snow and fog, So, ur high-speed jaunt isn't - ing to be as smooth as might have imagined... .
