So the good news is that Road Rash llT and Lotus Turbo ChallengeMgare designed for two players to race againsteach other on the screen.

Thebad news is that the old man thinks he has what it takes to giveme 'a driving lesson'.

Leavinghim to eat dust on a deserthighway,ought to convince himotherwise.

RoadRash II is even nastier than the original, your rivals more underhandand their weapons more lethal. And the prize money is higher to buynitro-equipped superbikes.

Happilythe rules haven'tchangedawhole lot.

There still aren'tany.

And if dad is expecting Lotus Turbo Challenge to be more sedate. hebetter thinkagain.

spotted this 'black morio' parked right next to us with its attendant 'constabulte shaking his head and, or, beckoning us to come down," he continues.

"I went on this student demo with a rather "militant" mate of mine,' begins our right-on writer, "Anyway the march was progressing peacefully enough, but my mote decided he was going to have a lie-down protest. However, out of the thousands of marchers, he could only feather about ten volunteers and the 'boys in blue' were soon on the scene.

It was then that my mote storied a bit of "nonoggressive direct action'. In

other words he started squaring up to the nearest ond biggest constable, and I soon found myself acting as some sort of peacemaker!

Fortunately we weren't arrested and laughed about our 'confrontation' later on that evening over brondy and caviar." Is that what's called champogne socialism?

Mieeel American culture is being threatened with extinction! A strange and evil family, the Martins, are kidnapping unattached beautiful females of between 16 and 19 and fuming them into a soft drinkl Together with their evil servants, the Oggers, the Martins lure the 'chicks' to their mansion with promises of slumber parties and enough 'ice cream' to make them oll sick, before bundling them into the basement laboratory. Who'll star in Baywatch? Who'll watch Beverly Hills 90210? Heck, who's going to listen to Morky Mark if not those all-American visions of stereotypicolity? luckily, all is not yet lost. The Sega Command Attack Team have gotten wind of the Martins' evil plans and hove dispatched a strike force of saboteurs to the Martin mansion. ,You play the operation coordinator. It's your job to track the maniac family and their malevolent slaves through the house, triggering pre-set traps at the right moments to catch the near-do-wells and save the unattached beautiful females of between 16 and 19. Should fly of the losses bite the dust, ur mission is over, owever, all is not as simple as it seems. The action rolls on in real-time in eight locations simultaneously, and you have to keep your eyes on oll of us, the traps are trig-

gered by colour codes, which ore continuously being changed by the Martins themselves! In order to keep track of the new codes, it's essential to listen in to the Martins private conversations, by means of monitors and microphones concealed around the mansion

ight Trap is one of those lovely full-motion video titles we've all been waiting for, which means all the graphics ore real actors and sets, including Dana Plato, ex-star of Diffrent Strokes, starring as the hard-bitten SCAT leader. The graphics do have a grainy, slightly pixilated look to them but they're still very impressive, as is the sound. As for the gameplay, well, the jury's still out on that one (but Lucy was raving about it constantly after playing it for a few hours). The gameplay's definitely lively and more challenging on the old brain thon the reflexes but the lasting appeal is as yet unknown. Still, as a showpiece for the Mega-CD, Night • Trap is undoubtedly going to take some beating.

Okay, now it is absolutely, utterly, completely and indubitably official, the Mega-CD will definitely hit the streets in the first week of April or Sega will eat their hots (probably).

And since were so damn good to you, here's a fine and dandy list of some official Sega games you can snaffle up to go with All are a snip (0) at E39•99 except Night Trap (see elsewhere in news for details) which

F LY I N G imp

is a double CD and will set you bock a whopping E49.99 and the adventure jaunt Sherlock Holmes which will sting you for E44•99.

Other than that there's the much hyped driving game, Jaguar XJ220, Wolf Child (see reviews this issue), Black Hole Assault and Prince of Persia. A full run-down on the whole bunch should be within the pages of the next issue of MEAN MACHINES SEGA_

Yo, my homeboy, what's the word on the street? Yo, fly, chill, bring it bock the other way boyyyyeeeeel Well, if that stream of toss means anything to you, you're either a Morky Mark fan or you're completely mad (although the two often go hand and h a l l o w

INXS, have obviously abandoned his recent drive towards credibility by selling their names and videos to Sega in this new full-motion video spectacular.

The game, such as it is, revolves around directing one of three Morky vids, by keeping an eye on three ever-changing screens of video footage and cut. sing into each one at opportune moments in the song There's also a wide range of weirdo video effects, such as strobing, palette mixing, digitising, slicing, dicing, grating and pureeing.

The idea is to choose a char-

And, chill, hey — word up, Marky Mark is where it's at, you know what I'm saying? Well, I'd be quite surprised if you do, but anyway, what this is all about is the first exciting Make My Video title on the Mega-CD, featuring none other than Mr Mark himself (and his Funky Bunch of course).

Yes, Marky, along with Kriss s. C+C Music Factory and

'IrrA's.,=•"•t i

acter from a list of four at tit, start, each wanting you to Make Their Video, listen to what they reck-on would look best and try to achieve the desired effect. At the end of your stint your video is played back and then judged by who-. ever you made the video for.

Of course, it's not the act u a gameplay itself which is supl posed to be the breathtaking !! bit, its the extensive use of — hey kids — actual video film and CD sound! This means if you do happen to be a Marky fan you have the added bonus of being able to listen to threeofh m "(e p to is )astill well as messing about with the game.

It must be said that despite the slightly grainy look to the footage (basically because the Megodrive can't handle enough colours) it's very impressive indeed. However, the lasting appeal of the game itself is slightly suspect, but rest assured it will be fully investigated in a forthcoming MEAN MACHINES SEGA review. In the

Sega has joined forces with techie giants Pioneer to produce a device called the LaserActive — a mochine capable of playing LaserDiscs and standard compact discs... but that's not all!

There will be three compatible "control units' available to slot into the machine one of which, the Mega ID, Sega will have a hand in producing. The Mega LD will be able to play Sega CDs, Megadrive cads,

SEGA LOCK-OUT CHIP:

THE FACTS As we revealed months ago in

CD+G discs plus Mego ID discs which are Sega games on 12inch laser disc format. The question is ore new and origi- • nal games going to be produced on the 12inch format?

Whatever the case, we'll let you know.

Any road up, this all sounds like pretty radical stuff and as soon as we get our hands on the finished LaserActive device, we'll bring you the full ins and outs.

MEAN MACHINES SEGA, Sego ore starting to add lock-out chips into their games --- making import games completely incompatible with official machines. No w MEAN MACHINES is ready to give you the full story.

First of all, let's dispel some myths. The lock-out chip isn't a chip at all — it's lust on addition to the cartridges game code Every Megadrive has two registers that can be read to tell the game what speed to run at (50 MHz for Europe, 60

MHz for the US and Japan) and what country the console originates from. The game checks in own code to that of the console and if they're not compati-

ble, the game doesn't run.

Sego are making a concerted effort to make every US and

Japanese game protected in this way. We do know that Virgin Games ore olso protecting their games in this way, as are most of the other third

party manufacturers like

Konami.

If, however, you are anxious

to be able to run all cartridges from every country, Advance Console Entertainment of London ore the guys for you.

They're able to adapt Megadrives and odd switches to the machine that effectively change it into an American, Japanese or UK machine! For more details on this modifica-

tion, give them a call NOW on 071 4 3 9 1185.

SHIVER M E TIMBERS It's pieces of eight, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum, wooden legs and dead parrots ahoy with Pirates! Gold, the new Megadrive adventure from Microprose.

Lead your unruly crew of wild buccaneers into distant horizons, bombarding enemies with hull-crushing cannonballs, pillaging innocent victims, crossing swords with diseaseridden rogues and that's when you're in a good mood!

Plunder valuables in bold attacks on enemy ships and risk losing your dignity, your honour ond your life all for the love of gold.

Check out the screenshots on this page for some enlightenment as to the contents of the game and keep your ayes peeled for a

DEMI)" I Shinobi fans eagerly awaiting the topper Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master, ore going to be disappointed to learn that the game has been put back to June!

Apparently, the guys at Sego weren't too happy with the game in its current state, so they've sent the cod back into development for another couple of months to generally tidy

it up and make it a lot more presentable.

MEAN MACHINES reviewed the game in January and felt of the time that with a bit of effort, the game could be turned from 'excellent' into 'bloody amazing!' Hopefully this will be case by the time the game emerges in June.

PREVIEW ram the creators of Ecco the Dolphin comes Cyborgi Justice - a ga me involving la rge robots, superlati graphics a nd a vast level of super-powered violence!

The ga me is played in one of two distinct formats. In the Arcade version, you (a nd a pal in simultaneous two-player mode) strut your way through fifteen levels, laying into other cyborgs and pitting your might against the twisted bosses tha t control them!

Duel mode retains much the same gameplay, but restricts the action to an arena, where you a nd your opponent slug it out in a bid for mechanised supremacy!

Sega Europe hove sent us a version of the game that's about 60% complete, a nd we can re port tha t it's already shaping up Into something quite special. As you can see, the graphics ore well smart, but what you can't see is the gre a t animation. The robots move superbly - it's a l m od like watching a cartoon!

Firstly, concerning your first Sego video.

I've got World of Illusion and I ve completed it in oil modes and yet I've never seen the level you showed on your video.

Another thing about the video is that Sonic completed the second act of Chemical Plant Zone without fighting Dr. Robotnik, he just spun through the end-of-level sign post whcrc Dr Robotnik should hove been.

YOB:All the games featured on the video were early versions, and were therefore subject to change. Think yourself lucky you've been able to see ultra -ra re versions of the game normally only seen by

H E VOICE O F ,,REASON Dear YOB After reading your last issue I feel compelled to write to you, it is regarding a letter from a certain Morgoret Shelley. I was astounded by the narrow mindedness of her letter.

My first complaints start where she said "young adults who have wasted their lives playing these games". What can I soy, well how about this madam: Is gaining enjoyment from something really wasting time? I don't think so. Also, in her letter she mentioned that her son was lost to these games. Far be it from me to soy but could this situation be partly attributed to poor parental involvement in her son's activities?

I myself have been playing gomes since I was eight, I am now seventeen and my parents participate in my gameplaying and hove fun themselves. I would like to know whether she participated like this or does she, as I fear, leave him to it and not even try to understand his hobby. The next point that annoyed me was her comparison of the oddictive qualities of games to that of

THE VOICE OF REASON

Dear YOB Your answer to Mrs Shelley's letter in ish no 5 was wrong so I will ottempt to give a right answer. Now. Mrs Shelley says that games give terrible ideas about violence. The same thing is being said about TV for years and only people who are mentally disturbed can be affected by this. It has never happened that a person started killing after playing a game.

When playing a game, children take out their aggression by defeating a game. This is better than being a bully towards others. Research in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and the Hague proved that most children who play games are peaceful and solve a problem rather by talking than fighting You say some titles ore no good, well I can't fight that, but how about pornographic magazinesl At a newsagent every kid can grab them.

Xonder Dezentie, Holland

YOB:Great letter. Great name. All I want to know Is how the hell you pronounce it!

drugs. To be honest that disturbed me. My friends and I don't hove any problems turning our machines off for more than ten minutes, and if we do we certainly don't get rushed into rehab! To be quite honest this is the sort of scaremongering I would expect from a tabloid newspaper_ As for her comment about games being evil, I will not even lower myself to argue that point.

However, the point that really annoyed me was the warning of organising into a force to gain a ban on video games by law. I believe this would be a futile excersise and I would go as for to say that whatever amount of peole she could rally, considering the current attitudes of all computer and video game users (and rational people in general) I believe we

V Sonic ta k e s up Hockey In this e ffor t by ease Ha dy n Hughes.

could outnumber her organised members quite easily by ten to one in favour of keeping games perfectly loyal.

My final point regards her orguement about reinstalling firm family values. Madam, for the majority of people firm

family values are still here. However, dictatorial style attitudes like hers never changed anything It just serves to make things worse Andrew Turner, Coventry

YOB:Nicely put.

A P e t. P a rr reveals the s piritua l side to ME AN MACHINES

STRESSED O U T Dear YOB What you said about people not being oble to occept consoles because they are new was absolutely right. First an enquiry is launched becouse people think computer games ore bad for you and lo and behold (in America) they were proven wrong.

These people are persistent so they look for other things that ore wrong with games. Now they query the prices, yes they ore high and cost more than they do in America, but their orguement is unfair, eg thoy only coat El 0 te make and are sold for E65. Only one game currently costs thot much. And whol about months of work for pro-

grommers, the cost of shipping them in from other countries and a number of other things.

It's so easy to put the boot in to anything without painting the whole picture, for instance automobiles. I reckon that if you melted a BMW down you'd hove (about El 500's worth of material, so how come they sell for about thirty thousand.

You don't have to print this letter, I just needed to put pen to paper because I'm so stressed out.

W A SEGA 23

A M A S S EIEBATE? Dear YOB I enjoy your highly opinionated letters page very much each month, but I wont to try and change your attitude on one important point. In the January issue you printed a letter from a MS owner complaining about people extracting the Michoel out of his machine. You replied in your usual understanding, compassionate and sympatthetic prose, telling him to get lost and siding with the potheads who were insulting his console.

In other words, people who own either the Megadrive or the Super NES are cool 'n happenin dudes and people who own the Master System or the NES are Mister Sod. This is crop. A person's character is not measured by the amount of money they have.

Such petty prejudicial snobbery is very hurtful, particularly at a time when many people can't afford a place to live, let alone a games console. The vast majority of console owners ore school children and students who find it extremely difficult to afford the prices charged by Sego and

k , 4

Dear YOB For the lost time, when will Sego get it right and make an attempt at producing games that ore more difficult to complete. A vast majority of gamesployers, young and old alike, hove been complaining for absolutely ages about the lack of a serious challenge in numerous releases.

Nintendo must be beginning to realise that they've got one up on Sego as most people agree that most Super NES games offer a far better, tougher challenge by far. Street Fighter II, Final Fight; these are the titles that seasoned gainers will eventually go for in favour of Sego's push-over software. For God's sake let's hope that Sego's Street Fighter II isn't a total blunder.

I think it's safe to say that Sego will (in the not too distant future) begin to see a rapid decline in the soles of games of such low lastability, while top-quality releases will sell like hot cokes, this I hope should begin to teach them o lesson.

Companies that produce games with high challenge levels should be praised for their efforts (Thunderforce IV and Ghouls 'n Ghosts spring to mind), and easy-to-complete games should be severely marked down in the lostability stokes, Sonic II, for example, was over rated. It's still way too easy.

If Sega don't liven their ideas up

Nintendo for their software. I am fortunate enough to own a Megodrive and some good games, but when Mega-CD comes out I'll be just another goon with a sad console. And then there's the Nintendo 32-bit machine, and then the 32-bit Sego, and then the Falcon machine and so on ond so on. It Eust never ends.

The Megodrive is a better machine than the Master System, but emphasising the fact is just a way for Megodrive owners to jerk eoch other off. I think Mean Machines Sego is easily the most thorough and informative console may around at the moment, but please don't encourage on already widespread clique of yuppie idiots who want to feel superior to everyone else.

Dear YOB We ore just writing to soy how highly addicted we are to Virgin's Terminator game on the Megadrive and other games of that nature When you reviewed Terminator some time back in the summer of '92 you gave it a measley 43% due to the so called "complete lock of challenge".

Well let us state the fact that we both bought the game soon after you incorrectly reviewed it and neither of us computer fanatics have a clue in which way to go because the progrommers have obviously thought long and hard Not an artwork as such more of an envelope. Top atm HMH, whoever you are.

about this impeccable game We both find the game overwhelmingly challenging without o single shadow of a doubt.

You completely messed up your review and if that means that you ore no longer trusted it's your own stupid fault. We strongly recommend you and your poor excuse for a team buck up your ideas about reviewing games. If you don't print this letter then we can only come to the conclusion that you don't wont your viewers to think you're completely untrustable.

IMBECILE CENTRAL Dear YOB What you soy about it being impossible to make a converter that allows you to play Super NES games on your Mega Drive is a load of Edam Cheese which should be sent off to solmoria because of famine. All you need is o computer, a Megadrive and a Super NES cart. The computer

could be programmed to read the data in the Super NES cort and convert it so that the Megadrive could run it. But how can this incredible feat be achieved? Well read on: 32, 768 divided into 512 is 64, so for every 64 colours on the Super

NES there is one Megodrive

colour. Also the sound would be recorded from the Super NES and

converted in much the same way, but the Super NES uses a different language than the Megodrive I hear you cryl Well, the computer could translate the Super NES language to Megodrive language like it might translate German into English

THE VOICE OF REASOIV Dear YOB

What century does Margaret Shelly live in? Her views date back to the early Coinozic period when even dinosaurs mode more sense than she did. Thinking computer games were too violent? She obviously hasn't had a look on the comic shelf in the newsagents, such comics as the Beano ond the Dandy are probably just as violent. She definitely hasn't watched TV lately, even progrommes on prime time are lust as violent as well eg "Sylvester and Tweety Pie" and "Rainbow". Her idea of entertainment would probably be "Listen With Mother" and Grade Fields.

She is wrong to try and impose V Pe te P a rr a ga i n! What's going on?

Dear Jaz-mania If you would give me a printlet of your noble advice I would be very, very grateful At Christmas I got a Megadrive with Sonic and two control pads. When my mum went to buy me the Megadrive, she asked for the latest pack which is of course the MD, two pods, Sonic 2 and the Menocer gun. Unfortunately, my mum didn't know this so she was ungraciously ripped off. So now I am Sonic 2-less and Menacer less. What I would like know is this. Should I start saving for the accessories such as the Menacer, the MS convertor and the Game Genie, or should I begin to save for more games? I might end up with loads of equipment and no games Should I get games and just one accessory? Which one?

Please help!

Dove Wright, Grimsby, Humberside JAZ:It seems fairly obvious to me tha t you should build up a collection of games first.

Otherwise you'll e nd up with on e nte rta inme nt system that's all ha rdwa re a nd no software. Doh!

Deice Jazza Moy I congratula y j i such an excellent mag. I have a few questions for you.

1, About two years ago Sego released the Megodrive A few months later, Nintendo released the Super NES, which was superior because better technology was available, Then we hod the Mega CD, and the superior Super CD. Now there's talk of a 32-bit Sego, and Nintendo will probably announce one in the next few months which will be better. Why don't Sego wait until Nintendo release theirs, and then make a better machine?

2.Now that the Megodrive is to be revamped will the old Megodrive fit on the new Mega CD ond vice verso?

3 Di d you see the new VR programme called Cyberzone, and what did you think of it. I thought it was pretty pathetic, 4. How do you connect your Megadrive up to a stereo? Does the Hi-fi hove to hove an import socket at the back. How much will the leads cost, and where can I get them?

Peter Gowland, BiHingham, Cleveland JAZ:1. Because they don't wa nt people to welt for ne w technology. If Sega ha d decided to wait for Ninte ndo to make the first move in the 1 6 bit console marketplace, we'd only just see the Megadrive being launched now. Are you telling me you would have preferred to play Master System games for the last two years while you waited for a better Megadrive? 2. O f course. 3. kpa t let me on it - I'd spank the system good a nd ,1 proper! 4. Check to see whether your hi-fl has on auxiliary input and see what socket it has. t Pop down to your local Tandy store a nd buy a h lead tha t has a stereo 3.5 mm iackplug one end o and the input connectors tha t fit your hi-fl a t u the other. It should only cost a couple of quid. g h t i t w a s Dear Jaz gazine. I recently ryOM I a llye u r q tle lle NM e CD, and wondered if u a compilation of Yuzo i Koshirovnusic from S nd Streets of Rage 2, t as he's fob? e Anyway, could you answer these question: a 1. I've heard rumours of a Premier leogue game l for the MD with big sprites, 22 teoms and new a moves like diving headers and scissor kicks. Are they true? u 2.A shop in town has Pigskin for the MD, Is it g anything like the arcade and so worth buying? h 3. Hove you heard all the news about games . prices for Sega and Nintendo having to be reduced ( to E18? If this happens my dad says the quality of j games will deteriorate, do you agree?

PS I reckon my dad's so good at Drogon's Fury, u he'd kick ass with you oil. s Martin Blackburn, Lancashire t JAZ:1.Holden, Not tha t I k now of. 2. No. 3. w n-n-n. i s h

Why do you wont Afterburner when G-Loc is already available on Ga me Gear? Alien 3 is in the pipeline. 3. Yeah, it's great (a pa rt from the musk,

See? This is what happens with hins. Give 'ern an inch on t a k e a mile, you mark my w o rd .

Once the playing screen returns the • game i should be paused with Ecco on-screen. Press 1 411 START the game and hey presto! Infinite dole to unpouse phindom is yours. t 1kt G course, a lot of garners aren't as young as they used to be and can't Of _ i r this horrible "pop music" — there's never a tune you can whistle you know. So it was1very t ; quieter i that helpful boy scout, Timothy Piper, to send in a cheat to make Ecco a more 1sedate, nice of game f Pouse the game, he says, and press A, B and C together. Once you restart theSgame, the music should lumbago and f have stopped and the enemies will move slower. What a blessing, what with me everything 1 i These modern password things ore a bit of a mither aren't they? But still, they're handy for wh t to cheating. Try entering SHARKFIN at the start of the game and you'll be transported to the, comes Lagoon h level. You'll also have no air bar to worry about, which is nice because I keep forgetting thi breathing, me. You'll also be able to destroy enemies with your sonar by pressing button A straight after s button B, so there's none of this charging around business. o Of course, there's always this alternative cheat from Martin Hill. Type in STARFISH on the password r and press START to commence the game at the Undercaves with infinite oxygen. Mind you, he screen didn'tEput his address on the letter. If I'd have done that when I were a lad I would hove been horsewhipped b to within on inch of me life, and I would hove been grateful for it too.

However, for the ultimate Ecco cheat, follow this advice. On that new-fa I d e s c ri p t i b press A, B, C and START down simultaneously. Now you'll hove infinite en D Wh e t t ' s workswon every single level.

Of course it's all peace and harmony now, G isn't it. I don't know, these new-fangled Prime Ministers just don't know how good a nice war is for national w morale. Speaking of treaties, young William Habels from Maastricht as found a cheeky little cheat for that top quality shoot 'em up e hunderforce IV. Simply go to the configuration screen and n choose your ship stock as zero. Now when you start the game, t of having only one life you are granted free run of 991 Instead °adhjob they don't ration space ships anymore David Rodgers, who's forgotten to put his address down, this izzy boy, has got another cheat for Thunderforce IV.

I remember the hedgehogs we used to have when I were your age. Lovely little green furry things they were, not like these big blue spiky ones you get nowadays.

And Wagon Wheels were bigger. Still, that Sonic seems to be quite a popular chap, and no doubt some of you whippersnappers out there will be pleased to see the following tip.

Matthew Parker from Homleys Computer Department has found a way to skip levels through using the sound test_ Eeh, that music. You can't hear the owrds, you know. Anyway, select tune 19, then tune 65, followed by tune 09 and finally tune 17. Then press A and hold START for a full level select. A bit like that one we printed lost month, except this'un works and ifs not for the first game. Kids today, by gum.

He reckons that if you access the options screen, plug the joypad into port 2 and press C, UP, RIGHT, DOWN, LEFT A, RIGHT and then DOWN you'll hear a power-up sound. This means when you start the game you'll be able to skip levels by pausing the game and pressing C, A and B before unpausing.

STREETS OF RAGE 2 By heck, it's only been in the shops five minutes and Jeff Peace (one of them long-haired hippos no doubt) from Honiton In Devon has olreody found a cheat for it, First of all press START on the joypod in port one. Now, using the joypad in port 2, go to the options screen. Press and hold button A on joypod two, then, whilst still pressing button A. press and hold button B. Now, still pressing both buttons, press and hold START_ You should now be able to select the level you wish to start on, and bump your lives total up to a maximum of ninel

gum, I remember when a computer as powerful as a Game G took up a full twenty storey building and ran on cool. Eeh, them w t' days_ Now it's all portable colour LSD screens and hedgehogs.

Mind you, at least they've got some decent tips as were brou ht up not dragged up. Take this Sonic 2 level select cheat, as se Jimmy O'Beirne of Ealing, London. When the opening appears, press START, and keep it held down until the options screen oppeors Keep O r % pressing START and press the bottom left diagonal the 0-pod along with buttons 1 2. You sho hear a twinkling sound. Release • START, press it again, and off you go

Blaze is the standard character in Streets of Rage II, average in every si gle category. Her back attacks aren't very good, but her range of special moves is second only to Skate A good first choice.

more, it's a very quick attack that can be followed up as soon as you land.

4. Save your chickens! If you smash a container that has tasty poultry contained therein, don't eat it until the lost possible moment. That way, you're effectively extending your energy bar.

OVA J A C K This knife-wielding maniac is disposed of by approaching from around him rather than straight at him from the side. Watch out his lunging knife attack, and if he's for off, keep out of his line of knife fire.

Skate is the flashiest character in the game, boasting the biggest range of special attacks in the game. His back

attack is also by far the most powerful in the game. Although he isn't very strong, the technique of his attacks more than makes up for it.

Her electro-whip isn't activated on level one, but is still pretty painful. Approach from above or below and use grabbing attacks. That way, you avoid her flying kicks and the whip!

Flying kicks are very effective against Barbon, but grabbing attacks aren't so effective on the higher difficulty levels. Skate and Akel's back attacks are very effective too. Don't stay in one place or you'll get a kick to the mid-region.

COMMENT 1

Having just played the Super NES version (called Power Athlete), I'm surprised at how close the Megodrive version is! The graphics and gameplay are virtually identical — even the Mode 7 trick for the ground is replicated exactly! However, the game Itself is nothing more than a cut-down version of Street Fighter II. There are less characters, less moves and less backdrops. Having said that though, Deadly Moves is quite smart and very entertaining (especially with two players). However, it is quite a pain that you can only control Joe In one-player mode.

What I do like about the game is the reword you get for beating an opponent. All of your slats are signifiantly increased, turning our fighter into an even eoner fighting machine.

Any rood up, for beat 'em p fans, Deadly Moves is ell worth taking a look at — expect a game that's good fun and initially very compelling, but don't expect anything as good as Street Fighter II, that's all.

What is It with Megadrive Street Fighter clones? Let's face it, none of them have been particularly inspiring, the best of the bunch so far being Fighting Master. Deadly Moves carries on the old Megadrive tradition of nearly-but-not-quite4 Looking at the graphics, you'd think this game would be great, the sprites ore detailed and colourful, although the animation is a bit wobbly, and the backgrounds are varied and certainly aesthetically pleasing.

Well, there ore three major problems with Deadly Moves.

First of all, it's far too slow to get your pulse racing or even get the adrenalin levels up a bit. Secondly, there just aren't enough special moves,

TI Pan hroughout the last century the nursname has reverberated around eries, gardens and kitchens, bringing laughter and delight to children worldwide. Which Pan? Of course, a saucepan. You can cook dinner in it, play tennis if you've got two of them, or put them on your head and play army.

Mind you, there's another pan which is pretty popular, the old duffer out of the Disney cartoon, Peter Pan. The plot of Hook concerns Peter Pan having grown up into a stressed-out, hard-drinking businessman. What's

more, he can't even remember anything about Never Land, and he doesn't even believe in himself, despite the fact his name is indeed Peter Pan, a nd his mother-in-law is called Wendy. Hook has heard of Pan's condition, and has decided to take revenge (despite having been e a te n by a crocodile), kidnapping Pan's kids in this platform hack 'e m up. irs your job to guide Peter across the platform landscapes of Never Land searching for your offspring, tracking down the nefarious Hook, and finishing him off once and for all.

phere put the sound through the headphones.

The soundtrack to Hook is absolutely stunning, a full orchestral affair which captures the tone of the game excellently. The speech is also great, very clear with a little reverb adding that "cinema acoustics" effect, although the acting is pretty useless.

However. CD sounds are supposed to be Impressive, that's nothing new — what about the game? Well, that's where Hook stumbles. It would actually be a really good platform adventure game, but for a few , small difficulties. For starters it's a bit slow, d the controls certainly aren't as respone as they could be. The other minus point concerns the frustrating "Ha ha, now you die!" no-way-out situations the game seems to throw at you at least once per level. Things like the mermaid on level five who grabs hold of you and guides you straight into all the bombs you've been trying so hard to avoid. Hook isn't a bad game, it's actually quite good fun when it's not getting under your skin, and it's certainly one of the better CD releases in comparison to garbage like Earnest Evans, but there are better platform games available for the standard Megadrive

Schienggi The first thing you notice about Hook is score. Strings swirl and ho 511Plaqh t h e fantastic orchestral honk as you guide your c puterised charge through hi quest. But so what? CD's ore supposed to be able to do that. The next thing that gra, your attention is the nun A N D Y screens peppering the go o f whilst being hugely impressive, these d f u l l bsolutely nothing to enhance the actual m meplay. o t i oThe game itself is not that bad, but n n I quite enjoyed Hook on the Super NES v heni it was released a year ago, of which this reproduction — right down to the d a direct e nnoying bits, like the swarms of killer bees o t get you every time (remember that bit from • c film?) u and the way Pan dawdles through t levels.

Thot's not to say this is a bed game ough — once you get the hang of controlling n, especially his flying skills, and used to the ate pace, it's quite a laugh Graphically, it's pretty good too, but the in-game graphics ore certainly nothing the Megadrive couldn't do on its own. But therein lies my biggest grumble.

All the fancy decorations aside, this is just a standard platformer and I con't help thinking it would be cheaper to wolf for the inevitable Megadrive-dedicated version whilst playing one of your Dacl's classical CDs. Nice game, but a shameful misuse of the Mega CD's capabilities. Not, I hope, the shape of things to come.

Each level has a different theme, each of which sounds absolutely pitch perfect.

There ore loads of digitised graphical sequences from the film, along with on all-new computer generated scan around Hook's pirate ship as it soils through the digitised skies of London!

Z1ZiL There are two separate control methods for Muhammad All's players to choose from. The first is called 'Arcade', because its quite close to how orcade boxing gomes work -- hitting a button launches a punch. The other choice is simulation, which is a bit more interesting. In this mode a punch is made by holding a button and swinging the joypad. There's no doubt that most people prefer the 'feel' that this control method gives to the action

I wasn't really expecting much from this, consider. ing boxing is usually disastrous as a video game.

However, I ended up more than slightly ressed. The programs have found the balance between strategy, skill and action which makes Muhammad All really good fun to play. The best feature is the control — having two methods broadens the appeal of the game, although the simulation is much better. It gives you a real feeling of connection for your blows. You also are able to move more easily than other boxing games, though it could have benefited by being even faster. But the main difference between this and its rivals is that it's fun to play. This is partly due to well thought out gameplay, and the atmosphere created by the sound effects and presentation. Some bits, like the virtuality sequence, don't come off, but overall Muhammad All is the best boxing you could expect on a console.

Each player has two health bars, representing power and speed_ Taking hits reduces both of these sharply, but even swinging your fists whittles them away.

Conserving your own bars, and reducing your opponents' are the basic game aims. When his bars are very low, the fighter falls. This is classed as a K a The

referee gives the fighter a count of ten to get up, or forfeit the match. If a fighter falls three times in a single round this is TKO, which also forfeits the match. If neither occurence takes place, the match is decided by aggregate points awarded for each round's performance, by three udg es, 1 0 -

Hey, there! Come back with my stereo!

Batman Returns is your arche-

typical platform rescue mission within the confines of an architecturally magnificent but deranged Gotham City. Just as the film of the same name is concerned with the destruction of Ekitmon's adversary, Penguin, and the evil bird's assistant Catwornan so the game follows similar lines — pitting the determined Dark Knight against their rancid plans whilst leaving a similarly minded gamesplayer at his command.

Here, have a banana! Take ill Go on! You know you want to.

ADJUSI 0 TOY Willi THEBATALTITUDE me ssi-

Either the citizens of Gotham city are failing to pay their poll tax or the metropolis' government are spending the cash elsewhere, Whatever the situation there isn't a street in the place that isn't pocketed with pot holes or completely unsurpassable because there's absolutely nothing left — not a trace, This problem is of no concern to Batman, of course!

Rather than sit staring into the gloom of these frequent pits, swinging his block boots and worrying how on earth he is expected to give chase with this in his way, he uses his grappling hook. With this he is able to deliver himself to the further reaches of any pith:unlike problems.

comiii*NT

• nished at how • Master System rendition of Batman Returns fairs against its ame Gear partner. asically it follows the same design but, rather than benefit from its ew surroundings, the game suffers terribly from flickery sprites and sub-standard presentation all round. The weapon select screen of the Game Gear version is absent and with It go the cool special attacks and their relevant animated sequences. One particularly impressive section of the Game Gear cart, where Gotham City Is plagued by a blize.ard in the early stages of the game, is yet 11111Ienother feature that falls to make it into this conversion. Consequently Batman is left to battle the first, fire-breathing boss against a black empty space as opposed to a snowy dead-end street. I'm sure you can Imagine how poor this all looks. Besides which all the bosses' attack patterns ore less complex and therefore not as taxing. It is also consistently depressing to find that our prospective hero falls to lust the slightest of blows — dead! All the extra 1-UPs available in the world fail to soothe the frustration as Gotham City is transformed to Dohsville Arizona in a few short steps.

With the game being such a disappointment, it wouldn't surprise me if the Sega rehouses may receive many Batman turns.

Batman's other lob is checking thermos flasks before they're sent off to the shops.

( REDQUARRY,YELLOWQUARRY) There are three items that Batman hunts down to improve his chances. These are the red, yellow and grey bat icons. When Batman strikes a floating bat with either o Botarong or his grappling hook the deceased animal drops such an icon for Batman's use.

RED/ORANGE: Provides Batman with a full powerup and an extra credit.

GREY: Extends the range of the batorang.

YELLOW: Ensures a speedy return of the batarang once thrown.

Contrary to his public image Batman is more than a little susceptible to damage. In tact his composure is completely and utterly ruined at even the slightest of touches. One top from the finger of a bomb-tossing female and he crumples into a heap, a mere brush of the shoulders with a clown and he just kaels over and dies. Surely this is not what we hove been led to believe! It's a scandal! A sham! An outrage,

BATCHES OF BUTCHERY G-LOC plays os a series of missions, split into sublevels. A timer at the top of the screen counts down from 99, and the game ends if it reaches zero. The only way to get extended play is to shoot the required number of targets for each sub-level. The requirement is announced by a digi-pic of the commanding officer, who thinks of an endless variety of ways to say the some thing: "10 incoming bogies, sir"; "We need 20 conformed kills"; "15 more targets", etc ad nauseam...

Afterburner II is one of favourit adrive games, but this is for, far worse.

The one thing both of those games had in common was that they were very repetitive, but Afterburner II mode up for It with fast, exciting gameplay and loads of enemy 'planes onscreen at once. G-1.0C is quite a ponderous game, and the fast pace and excitement of Afterburner II is lacking completely from this game, and the host of enemy targets for you to dodge or shoot is ludicrious ly small. I agree completely with Gus — G-11.0C is completely unexciting with no variation in the gameplay whatsoever. The coin-op's main pull was undoubtedly the hydraulics and the superb graphics. This Megadrive game has neither, so you're left with a shallow mockery of the original. If you're desperate for an Afterburner game, Afterburner II still rules supreme.

REVIEW

MEGADRIVE COMMENT

CARRIER BAGGING The reward for shooting down all that enemy hardware is a trip to the carrier custom shop. The snag is that all the fancy enhancements cost money — and it comes straight off your points total! The trick is keeping a good supply of weapons without breaking the bank. Hove a browse through the catalogue: AIR-TO-AIR MISSILE Standard heat-seeking missile sold in batch of ten. Cost 2000.

I find it disturbing that after three years of a machine's life, that programmers haven't learned what can a ot done. G-LOC's big ntage is its timing: it straight after the ext.able Afterburner 'though this is undoubtedly a tier effort, it's still a bad game. The coin-op is ageing, but even when it was fresh it was a repetitive bore held up by its fancy cling graphics and rotating cabinet. Now coin-op is old hat, and the Megadrive is etty hopeless on the graphics and sound ant in this conversion. The main letdown e endless line of targets, the only differnce coming in the phrases used to introd em. Players use a near endless supply of missiles, because aiming them up with the nnon is just too much troublein addition is, the game features some really dire ments, like the shuddery columns around sea convoy, that convince me it's not up • scratch.

" r i c e upon a timethere fi s h y princess Nacalled Ariel who was so u t i f u l she hod the run of the reef. Her father, King Triton, was besotted with her, and planned to marry her off to some rich fish or other. But an old arch-enemy had different plans. Ursula, a hideous octopus-like witch with an attitude, was throwing the undersea kingdom into turmoil by turning all the pretty mermaids into shrivelled plankton Knowing they might be next, Triton and his daughter set Out to free the mermaids from their spell, and confront the cunning calamori in her lair.

Their magic, and their marine pois come in handy.

The Little Mermaid has four levels, each with its own guardian at the end. The reef is a tight maze of rocky inlets, with eels jumping out to grab you unawares.

The monster here is a gloomy Rock Troll. Next is the remains of o sunken ship. The ghostly remains of the sailors patrol the galleys. Deadly sharks swim around t inside the hull. After that, Ariel discovers the lost temples of Atlantis, where bizarre floating archers kand discus'chucking statues are her main problems. The final level is o trip through the volcanic caves, where touching the walls is enough to fry you.

er Triton or Ariel (dependon who you pick) ore able to swim oround the various reefs and sunken wrecks without breathing. Control is dead easy — just push in the direction you wont to go. Both cha racters have a magical power which repels the underwater villains. Triton throws sparks from his trident, whereas An has neat little circlets of stars.

With Ecco the Dolphin, Sega proved that on underwater game can work incredibly well — unfortunately, The Little Mermaid doesn't. Even allowing for the fact that it's aimed at younger players, a game that can be finished in 20 minutes flat has got to be a waste of dash.

I t is a little-known fact that the modern day aircraft I owes its ropid development to the necessities of 1 . war, No sooner had the Wright brothers completed their awkward landing in the world'ikfirst flying machine than the American government launched a competition to find the most efficient design for use in war. Victory through oir power was very much in evidence throughout the two world wars.

So here we are now, not even a hundred years on, with aircraft reaching speeds for in excess of sound and carrying enough explosives $o destroy half the planet. Hurrah!

Afterburner Ill is, in essence, a celebration of the incredible fighter-croft at work in the late twentieth century. A salute to the people that pilot them and, what's more, the exciting opportunity to experience a piece of the action for yourself. What more impressive machine is there to launch es skyward than the American Air Force's own F-14 Tom Cot? And what better piece of hordwore exists to take us there thon Sego's own Mega-CD?

Surely one of the conditions for becoming a fighter pilot in the US Air Force involves having your entire stomach removed! How else can a man or woman, cope with the gut-churning rigours of the common or garden sortie?

I i ve had the misfortune to lay my eyes n in the past three years. Even Dark Castle has more pulling power than this collection of abominable sprites! Once the ghable, lerkily-animated intro sequence passed, and suitably ignored, the action takes off and then nose-dives immediately.

All that is required is to bank left or right the whole time and wait until the computer Socks on to a target — with on infuriating bleep no less — then press the missile button. That and the occasional roll to avoid the dopey enemy artillery. It might be nice, then, to observe some pretty scenery as boredom knocks at the door. Yet no!

Every location looks exactly the same as the last, apart from the ugly range of colour schemes, allowing boredom to stroll in, sit down and put his feet up for good. Everyone in the office who has played this game has walked away looking like a vacuous zombie, with stark disbelief radiating from behind glazed-over eyeballs! To mention the diabolical sounds in Afterburner Ill would be like kicking a man when he's down wouldn't it? Well the sounds are flippin' disgraceful too! I've never heard such a racket! Afterburner Ill is the worst game on the Megadrive, let alone the Mega-CD.

REVIEW

RESENTATION The disc box boldy announces 'A superjet simulator', and you just might be led believe it, considering Afterburner11111has been trumpeted as the great 3D flying, ohmuch-too-technical-to-be-bunged-on-acart game. The painful truth — it's more ultra-crop than super-real. Afterburner III is incredible, but only in a way that makes wonder how it could have been so dly muffed. None of the sprite-scaling go-CD tomfoolery is in evidence, as land two-colour backdrops shuffle past, 'super-real' blobs passing for trees, houses, missiles, planes... Graphically this effort makes the Quickshot Supervision look hi-res. Well, at least the sound will be good...

Wrong! CRI must have nabbed the rights to all those tunes they play with Ceefax pages or the Test Card, because they sound exactly the same. The speech is crapola for a CD system. But the game! Man, the game completely does your head in because it just isn't there. Endless afterburners, endless missiles and an endless procession of jets that appear and disappear in a second. This is not gameplay! Let's be honest, the Mega-CD hasn't stirred waters abroad that much, and it's going to bomb even faster here if this is the standard of software support — because this dog is an affront to console games, even by 8-bit standards.

MEGA-CD 11 R E V I E W 1 COMMENT

It, it's Gary Harrod... Muhl

Grrril just don't see any point whatsoever in cammiting software of this • d u b i o u s quality to Sego's latest and supposedly greatest piece of hardware. Fair enough, Wolfchild is quite a repsonsive game and is moderately enjoyable In A N D y p l a c e s , but there's absolutely nothing about it which says Mega-CD. The graphics ore unremarkable, although the comedy wolf transformation sequence where Wo!fie looks like he's being kicked up his lycanthropic ass, is bound to bring a slight, if somewhat desperate, smirk. The sound too, unusually for a CD game, is completely average. Even the lengthy animated intro is just plain non-magnificent. There's nothing to Weitchild which couldn't be done on the Megadrive, and Indeed, hasn't already been done in games such as Turrican et al — and we all remeber how great they were. So, whilst not quite the shambling disaster some of the earliest Mega-CD stuff was, Wolfchild is as unremarkable as Jaz having yet another motorcycle accident.

Outrun 2019 has a number of interesting new features, the best being the inclusion of bridges and suspended roadways. Players have the choke to either stay on terra firma, or drive up romps onto the suspended motorwoysl Best of all, once up there, you can look down on the rood below. In fact, to aid this, some of the raised motorways are mode out of transparent plexiglass. Later levels have booster pads that shoot you up or down onto different roodsl

And only one careful,

:1/J1 ii :;• Yet another horizontally scrolling shoot 'em up, based on the moderately successful coin-op.

Oddly enough, Sego never officially released this game,

WHATWESAIDTHEN JAZ: Aeroblosters is a thoroughly enjoyable and good looking blaster which is well worth adding

WHATWESAYNOW JAZ: I'm not surprised that Sega never released this officially. Although it's fun, its not very original, and there ore loads of better horizontally scrolling blasters around — Hellfire, Gynoug, ThwiLleiluiLe III Lind Pir we just a few I can think of.

: At the time this kept me occupied for a few ours, but I wouldn't spend that much time playing it now. The shooting action has aged pretty badly and nowadays I'd knock 15% off all the ratings RICH: This holds little interest for me now. Granted, its fast and very playable, but it is way too easy_ Take away 10% from each category and I'll be a tad happier with the review.

MACHINE: MASTER SY BY: TIERTEX Capcam's legendary coin-op was converted on to the Master System and met with very a decidedly lukewarm reception from the MEAN MACHINES boys.

WHATWESAIDTHEN JAZ: As it stands, even the biggest fans of the coin-op will be very disappointed MATT: To say I'm disappointed with this is the greatest understatement of the year. Strider may have smooth scrolling and okay sprites, but the playability is sadly lacking.

M in action on the Come Gear! This time, a Spidey's in real trouble. His arch-nemesis, Dr Octopus, is planning a ruthless scheme to take r over the entire world! To aid his cause, he's v brought in some of Spider-Mon's deadliest e enemies, including Hobgoblin, Sandman, l Electric), Mysterio and the Vulture. ' What this generally boils down to is a scrolling, web-slinging violence fest, as Spidey s traverses the levels, punching and kicking the 3 seven shades out of the Sinister Six's warped 0 minions in his quest for justice.

- Comic fans may be quite pleased to discover y that Revenge of the Sinister Six is based on on e actual comics series in the Spider-Man magazine (although in the comic it took Spidey a the Hulk, plus Deothlok AND the Fantastic r amongst others to save the day, and they Four don't crop up in the gamel — Rich). o Any road up, Spidey's finished and ready l d w e b s l i n g e r I ifprincesses like us you're to death of rescuing poxy and sick spending oil your time saving yourself from a fate worse than life get into this s great new Game Gear experience from Acclaim bCrash Dummies. oAs the name suggests, you play the kind of c dummy who used to go screeching through windscreens in various rood safety ads the ones k that encouraged you to go Clunking and Clicking Every Trip like a deranged chicken.
