The (_uurse of true love never runs smoothly and there's probably nothing worse than when some hot babe is sitting at home gagging for you and you can't get there in time for the date because your car breaks down or something.

For Bob, Electronic Arts new android Megadrive hero, the problems much worse. This cool guy couldn't settle for the girl next door type. Oh no. He had to go for some luscious type on the other side of the galaxy!

In his haste to engage in a bit of tonsil tennis, Bob shoots recklessly ihrough the skies in his dad's motor and hurtles headlong into a giant asteroid over the Planet Goth which totals his transport and forces him to crash land in a pile of rubble on the surfoce of the unchortered planet.

To reach his girlfriend in time for a decent snog, Bob bamboozles his way through a stack of platforms and puzzles and fends off the Serious Crime Squad (it hasn't yet been disbanded on Goth and to these guys crash-landing carries a heavy sentence - usually death without trial!).

I he aliens send out scouts to find out how determined our android really is — you (as Bob) con waste them if you wish but your punishment of the hands of the bosses is likely to be much harsher if you do, but if you just send 'em packing with a sound scoring you might just come through it alive.

STAGETWO* THEUNDERGROUNDCITY His memory wiped, Conrad is almost completely lost until

he stumbles on the underground lob of his friend, Ion, who manages to restore his memory_ Aware of the urgent situation on Earth, Conrad decides to head home. However, first of all he needs falsified papers. Unfortunately, this requires a lot of cash — 1500 credits to be precise! The only way for Conrad to get the cash is to take jobs, first as a courier, then as a mercenary, facing incredible risks in order to get his hands on the papers!

CITY FACT: The Titan City is a massive stage, brimming over with lethal assailants and corrupt cops after blood. To link the many stages, there's even a tube train and four stations!

STAGETHREE:DEATHTOWER Papers in possession. Conrad learns that the only way to actually get a ticket to Earth is to participate :n Death Tower — a Running Mon-style TV show, where the contestants ore killed hideously if they fall foul of attack probes, Death Tower employees or even land mines!

It's Conrod's job to work his way up to the top of the eight storey tower — where his prize (a flight to Earth) awaits.

DEATH TOWER FACT: Death Tower is a circular building, meaning that if Conrad travels in one direction, he eventually ends up back where he began! Travelling the entire level, dodging the hazards and operating switches is the key to progression.

Conrad arrives back on Earth, only to discover that his rather public appearance on Death Tower has alerted the aliens to his presence! Not surprisingly, they've sent a welcoming committee for our hero. Blasting a path through the xenomorphs, Conrad hires a taxi, deciding to gotecrash the alien's private party at their HQ. However, whilst overhearing the enemy's evil plan, Conrad is captured and thrown into jail!

EARTH FACT: This level is a blast frenzy, with aliens and probes aplenty — all awaiting destruction! It's Conrad's task just to wade through the meanies until he reaches the enemy bose where a tad more thought is required.

However, standing between our hero and the next level ore some of the most fiendish disintegrator puzzles the game has to offer. One false move and he's atomised!

ALIEN BASE FACT: This level gives Conrad one of his more useful pieces of equipment — a matter transported Just throw the receiver wherever you want and activate the transmitter and you're instantly transported to the location of the receiver, This is highly useful for negotiating massive chasms or dropping down large distances.

Conrad's made it to the heart of the alien operation — his task, to destroy the massive power generator that the evil ones have created. The question is, how?

walls and ceilings — making Conrad's life very tough indeed. Fortunately, they can only attack Conrad by morphing into humanoid form, giving the hero time to attack.

Taking the Prince of Persia genre a huge leap forward, Flashback is a truly stunning game. The graphics are the first thing that hit you. The opening sequences are absolutely marvellous, with fully-animated cinematic scenes which wouldn't look out of place on a Mega-CD game. The in-game graphics are also fabulous. The sprite animation is smooth, fluid and ultra-realistic and the backgrounds ore outstanding and evoke a wonderful atmosphere. This would all fall as flat as a pancake if the playability was poor, but fortunately the programmers have lavished as much attention on this aspect of the game as they have on the visuals. Drawing you slowly into the action with a fairly straightforward first stage in which you learn all the different moves and capabilities of the main character, the game quickly moves into top gear with another five massive, tough levels which tax both your brain and reflexes. But 1 w h i l e Flashback is a totally brilliant game, I can't recommend it to absolutely everybody.

It's a game that requires a lot of play and a lot of thought and I think that pure arcade action fans might find it a bit too slow and not exciting enough justify the sheer amount of attention required to finish the game — rather like Ecco the Dolphin, really. If you're up for the challenge, though, and like unusual, original, detailed in-depth adventure games which requires the use of your brain as well as your joystick, this is a must.

JAZ

As anyone who's seen A Irina jungle, Another World can testify, Delphine Mita, lima, jungle are the masters of animation.

They've extended this expertise into Flashback. Each of the main charac ters is superbly animated, lending an incredibly life-like atmosphere to the proceedings. The effect is stunning — making even Another World look doted in comparison!

Conrad Hart is the most well-ammated, athletically proficient character in the history of video gamest His repertoire of athletic abilities is almost endless. As well as walking and running, Conrad's able to perform a range of different leaps, as well as climbing platforms with ease. With his gun drown. Conrad is always ready for action — sneaking along, blasting and rolling his way out of (or into) trouble. Mastering the full range of Conrad's skills is essentiol in beating some the games more fiendish puzzles.

Groinks! I thought Another World was about as good as Megadrive graphics got, but how mistaken I was.

Flashback has more Impressive cinematic

sequences tha n Anothe r

World ever had, plus there's a much more in-depth game to back it up. The first level is a bit simple, but it's really just control orientation. Once you've passed that you know how to perform just about every move you'll be called on to make. Mind you, that said there are absolutely heaps of things Conrad can do, and it's not just limited to jumping around and shooting things. You have to exercise your brain as much as your thumbs to get the better of Flashback. Each of the levels follows a different theme, and the plot progresses at such a rote and with such fervour that there's a huge desire to see the next level, or even just the next scene. Flashback may not appeal quite so much to everyone, it's not as frenetic as something like, say, Sonic 2. However, anyone who likes a bit of story to their death and even, gasp, a bit of role-playing will see this as an all-time Megadrive classic. Either way Flashback warrants more purchasing than you can shake a stick at.

MEAN

MACHINES? If you have decided not to go oheod with it, then I

have an interesting and exciting alterna-

tive suggestion. Why not let your readers enter a competition to win a prize that most o f your readers con only dream about; to hove their review

'of a game printed in MEAN MACHINES, and the professionals could soy what they thought of it.

What do

HE JUST DOESN'T CARE Dear YOB I think your magazine is totally rampant, Many days I have spent getting full satisfaction from your totally reliable meg. I firstly wont to ask a question what is on the mind o f all serious-minded game-

splayers. Why the hell are

A TOM P•rd t w i t o t e m with o u t s owereershre weirowtiohog. petty-minded, half-assed 'I can't complete Altered Beast' players writing in and talking absolute donkey's knockers. I mean, seriously, who the hell gives a monkey's banana a t what Lee Elford thinks of Ecco.

Personally I don't care. The opinions of these sod, sad nutters has absolutely nothing to do with us readers. They ore proberbly so cccropp they can't get past the title screen of Sonic. I would like to soy 'Sod off and write to some

other mags about your personal

problems - Nutters!'

Well, enough o f my slagging off and bad language. I think that I hold the world record for Sonic Green Hill Zone 1. I completed it in 25 seconds by the screen clock.

Keep up the good work and remember - keep 'ern mean, keep 'em keen, buy 'em a copy of MEAN MACHINES D Fuller

YOB: Thank you for your tolerant words. World record?

Afraid not, matey. Even the baboons here can whizz through that level in under 23 seconds. Keep practicing and maybe, just maybe one day you might get the record and give your miserable life some meaning.

PA U L D AV I E S : t CAKKA GIBBON Dear MEAN YOB

It is the 25 of Feb and I have just

witnessed the saddest debacle in my life -- Paul Davies on Sonic 2.

He is the soddest person since

Timmy Mallet and Jeremy Beadle.

He has shamed everyone who has anyth,ng lo do with MEAN

MACHINES SEGA. So I hove

decided, sod Salmon Rushdie, let's kill Paul Davies. Either that o r chop off the dangly ports of his anatomy with a pair of rusty shears. Paul isn't completely to blame though, that smelly nob from some other magazine managed to get Sonic to run straight through a wall.

PS I don't like Gus either.

M E NO CONSOLE Dear YOB I must be the only reader of MEAN MACHINES SEGA who doesn't own a console of any shape or form. 'WHAT!' I hear you cry, and yet there is a perfectly logical explanation for all this.

KLINGFL! K M Dear YOB As I am a big fan of video games and martial arts movies, I was really pleased when I read through the March edition of the action movie mag - Impact. I found out that Chinese studios, Golden Harvest, had bought the rights to Street Fighter and Jackie Chan is incorporating the characters of the game into his new film 'City Hunter'. In one of the scenes Jackie is thrown through a video game screen. He starts to hallucinate and everyone in the room looks like a character from Street Fighter. Jackie portrays E. H o and has to fight Ken with Guile , and Dholsim in the background.

I d a Jockie change.. into Chun Finally, Li to defeat Ken. I know this sounds strong° but it's true.

Jackie had already incorporated elements of thr. Double Dragon games into .iis film 'Twin Dragons' _st look ill don't believe through me I suggi f r you the Mar fed it io n of Impact and a s , me in the future you will do u 31feature on this film.

EDOORSTEP As far as chilly winter's days go, the second of February was a reasonably warm one in Farringdon Lone, Why, even Fraser turned up to work in a lightweight jacket insteod of his usual 'flasher's special ankle length, woollen overcoat. It was therefore a mystery to find both Brian and Terry of East 17 fame, standing on the doorstep wearing outfits that even Scott of the Antarctic would have been too hot in.

Brian explained that Terry, between rapping and country dancing practice, spent all his spare hours playing videogomes Was he good? He reckoned so and promptly threw down the gauntlet and challenged the MEAN MACHINES team to a veritable videogome tourney. Over to YOB to reveal what went on...

The team greeted the East 17-ers with their usual down chorus of pre-coffee neanderthal grunts, and needed a good poke with on electrified cattle prod to get them into action.

ROUNDONE:t1S TERRY First up to the Megadrive were Dave and Terry, and it was gender benders ahoy as they both plumped for tough girlie Blaze. Tom piped up with a selection of useless tactics for the benefit of oopstrel Terry, "Press the A button" cried grinning gonad Guise, 'bosh Dave and don't get hit' he added in a fit of extreme uselessness. Terry did this, launching Blaze into a fireball frenzy, but Lady Luck was on Dave's side os he pummelled the A button and somehow outhit his teen idol opponent! However, the mistress of fortune is a fickle femme and she spurned

Skinny Scot Gus chose big 'n' beefy Max while Rod opted for Blaze for her smart special moves and girlie skirt. What followed was true handbags at down combat, with neither player landing anything like a decent punch. Finally, Gus wos gently slopped into submission and Rod took the first round The second round was even more limp and flaccid, but in the end Gus wilted to give Rod on unconvincing victory. Jeers and catcalls were heard as the two stepped down from the challenge podium.

Buffoon Boy Tom choose Skate - he feels at home being on wheels ever since his spell of special treatment at East Cheom Hospice for the Mentally Underpriviledged.

The 'fight' ended up a very onesided affair, Tom's manically random button-pressing overwheolming girlie heart-throb Bri's tired efforts within two quick rounds. 4 , • The games room was in a deathly hush as Rod and Terry met in a battle of supreme street (red.

Chumpion vidiot was a more befitting title as Walthamstow warbler Terry pounded him into the deck...

There was confusion in the games room at the start of this round when Tom discovered that he'd lost his dummy and comfort blanket, but once they were found under a pile of mouldering rags (it was later discovered that it was Rod asleep in the corner) it was fight on! Yeti•boy Paul chose Axel and Tom went for Blaze once again and both begon pounding their buttons.

The first round went to Tom, but as the excitement mounted, Tom drooled and dribbled all over his controller and shorted it out, allowing Paul to sail in and take victory over the next two rounds.

After a quick call to the men in white coats to take Tom back to his rubber room, Paul and chart champ Terry readied themselves for the final showdown. Both participants chose their lave characters; Paul picked Axel and crooner Terry, Blaze. Tension was in the air as the fight started, mostly emanating from Paul's backside, and someone opened the window. Within seconds Paul had decked cheeky chorister Terry to take the first round_ But Walthamstow's wunder•chanteuse wasn't worried and whacked Paul senseless to take round two. In a tense final round, rappin' Tel took the early initative, but in the end metal man Paul fought back to take the round and win the challenge.

But all credit has to go to popular recording

is looking a bit ed-faced this R r month. o No, he hasn't been caught with his b trousers down - he's t had h to carry another huge sack of Q+A e questions up four m flights of stairs for a brainy old Jaz to i answer. If you've got l anything you want to m know, send your a questions off to: HERE'S n ANOTHER 0 + A LETTER FOR POOR OLD ROB TO SORT OUT AND BRING UP THE STAIRS, MEAN MACHINES, PRIORY COURT, 3 0 - 3 2 FARRINGDON LANE, LONDON, EC1R 3AU.

WHISK Dear Jaz I hove a few questions concerning the Game Gear and MS convertor.

1. Is the MS convertor any good? I mean, how do the graphics appear on the GG's tiny screen?

2. Which is bigger, Ultimo IV or Y's on the MS, and how will ihey work with the MS convertor?

I hope you will answer my questions, and also thanks for 'Keeping

game designing or becoming o producer or graphic artist. Con you please tell me: 1 H o w do I go about becoming a graphic artist, producer or games designer for a major company like Sega, Copcom or EA? 2 I s being a games tester a full time job?

And do games testers get paid?

3. Is Cybernotor coming out for the Megodrive, or World Heroes?

5. Will the 32-bit Sega be able to run MD games?

MA, Croydon JAZ: 1. Write to the m with

up your high standard Jakob Moilor, Rtskov,

Denmark JAZ: 1. It's pretty good - the graphics are just like a Master System on a tiny telly screen. 2. Y's is the biggest.

Neither ga me will work very well because you can't read the onscreen text properly.

Not without doing your eyeballs in.

ICE CUBES Dear Jaz I own a Master System and will soon own a Game Gear, and would like to ask some questions.

1. Could you please darken your Game Gear screenshots, because they ore difficult to see?

2. I hove seen adverts for Die Hard 2 and Pitfignter. Are they any good?

3. Will Flashback be coming out on the Master System or Game Gear?

4 I have an idea for o beat 'em up coiled Street Sharks. It stars three guys called Rage, Bro and Onar, who must traverse the streets of London to dispatch a crime boss who is hiding at the top of Big Ben tower, and save the head of Scotland Yard and severol top politicians. So what do you think?

5tEkE KyrE A 93

Richard Thomas, Sphsby, Una JAZ: 1. Oh. Alright then. 2.

Nab. 3. Na hhhhhhh. 4. Ever heard of Final Fight?

FEATHER DUSTER Dear Jazz° Please can you answer these questions, for me they are quite important I 'm 16 and I'm seriously thinking of becoming a graphic designer, doing computer

examples of your work a nd a full CV. 2. Yes a nd yes. 3. No. FRILLY APRON Dear Jaz I am a Megadrive owner for nearly two years, and I hove a few questions which have been on my mind for some time.

1. I have seen the Mega-CD video from issue 3 and it is smart! But several points about it hove eluded me. The film/games (Sewer Shark, Night Trap and Make My Video are all fairly clear, but the pictures are not of very good

1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

Ci+A quality - like a video, for instance. Is this due to the Megodrive's collection of colours or for another reason.

2 O n the Mego-CO video at the end, the bloke with the long hair turns it off with a Remote Control.

Does the Mego-CD hove a remote control, ond what ore its functions?

3. What do you think of the rumour circulating IDigitiser etc) that a machine to run all games is planned/ in production? The copyrights would be a nightmare, and the price a high one.

Simon Gorer, Wareham, Dorset JAZ: 1. The live action pictures ore slightly grainy a nd fuzzy because the Megodrive isn't able to show TV-quality images. 2 . No, but you can eject a CD using a ioypaci. 3.

Jimmy Hill, come on down.

SCOURING PADS Dear Jaz I hove a Megodrive, and a few questions to ask; 1. Is DANT IV worth getting?

2. Will the SF II joypad look like the SNES' joyead?

3 Will Airport X-ray machines damage games?

4.

4. Will Sega be making any more beat 'em ups?

5. Why does MEAN MACHINES SEGA come out three months late in Australia?

The $150 worth of gomes they give away in Australia ore rubbish I t shouldn't read 'S150 of free games' but '$ I 50 worth of crop'.

PORK CHOCOLATE SAUSAGES MOUSSE Dear Jaz Basically I'm thick and need some questions answering so please answer them.

1. Why haven't Sega brought out a Super FX chip for the Megadrive like Nintendo did for the Super NES? 2. Are there any plans to, or ore they thicker than me if not?

3. If there was one, could it give the Megadrive more colours, Mode 7 rotation and a few other things?

4. Will there be a Streets of Rage

SPATULA

Dear lazzamon Firstly, I think your mog is the best around by for, especially with the freebies on the front cover. Now I hove some questions that desperately need answering.

1. When will Ecco be converted to the MS? 2. What's the worst game you've ever been forced to play?

3. What's the best piece of hardware you can buy for the MS? 4. When will Streetfighter II be released on the MS? 5. How long did it take you and or Gus to complete Ecco?

6. Has Paul Davies been socked yet (after his complete cokkagibbon performance on GomesMoster the other day)?

7. What's your dream motorbike?

8. When will Streets of Rage (1 or 2) be released on the MS? To very much for your time, keep up the good work?

PS Margaret Shelley aka I grandmotherl V Alex Jones, i Berton, o l JAZ: 1. There's I absolutely no e word a bout it H t yet. 2. I've a B m e of crap games p In my time, but r s Ilh i p i ln r a'e

5. How come Toils didn't die when the bi-plane got shot down in Sonic 2?

6 Who sexiest Out of Chun-Li, Blaze or her on Alien 3?

Nick Wheeley, Bolton JAZ: 1. Watch this space... 2.

Watch this space 3 . Watch this space 4 . Possibly - it depends on how Streets of Rage II sells. 5. Sega would never kill Tails! Everyone loves him!

Dear Jaz I have one question for you to answer, Will Dragon's Lair, Escape from Singe's castle, Dragon's Lair II: The Time Warp; Dragon's Lair lII The Curse of Mordread, Spoce Ace and Space Ace II ever come out for the Mega-CD? Morkku Koivunen, Helsinki, Finland

have been getting MEAN MACHINES SEGA for about three months_ I hove a Megadrive with five games, I got it for my birthday last March. As I was thinking obout getting the Mego-CD for this year's birthday, please, please, please could you answer these questions.

1. How much will the Mega-CD cost when it is out over here?

2. How much will the games cost for it?

3. Is it as good as everyone says it is?

4. Do you think that the shops are going to sell many of the games or will just sell carts?

To my little brother Terry, keep your hands off my Segal Gary Fox., Thotchom, Berks JAZ: 1. £269.99 2. E39.99. 3.

The machine is great, but a t the mome nt the games are varied in quality. Check out the reviews a nd see for yourself. 4. They'll sell a mixture of both.

Of the two magic spells ovailable to Twinkle the most powerful, by far, is the 'Super Bomb'.

This quarrelsome quartet appear one at a time, so concentrate a stream of Javelin fire at their scrawny necks as they do! Keep Twinkle moving and remember her magic!

By standing slightly to one side of the Trees mouth and putting full-powered Javelins to good use the wooden expression soon turns to that of distress. In its dying moments the Trees roots shoot up from the ground. Keep a look Out for the small, cylindrical patches that indicate their positions.

There is no hard and fast rule for this three-headed Dragon. At this stage in the game the going for Twinkle is tough, no matter what Concentrate Twinkle's attacks on one head at a time as, once a head is destroyed a new one appears until the stump from whence it came is completely destroyed.

Without magic these hammer-happy uglies are tremendously tough. It is here that the Super Bombs are forsaken, for the only time, in favour of the more dependable Flaming Dragons. Have Twinkle stand her ground and let those Javelins fly.

An enormous spectral knight that has trouble with static forming on his fillings, resulting in streams of lightning emitting from its mouth.

Once again the use of the Seeker Bracelet is the safest option with skillful magic obuse doing the rest. However having Twinkle nip in with the odd Javelin assault speeds things up.

.—Jcifer's bolts of lightning are a cinch to dodge.

Though the Javelins do the most damage and the Seeker allows Twinkle the freedom to move around more freely here, the Spread Bracelet is best put to use against this master of evil.

Dodge this Dragon's fireballs by ducking Twinkle into a corner then pass quickly beneath the master's laser lance for safety in the opposite corner. Should the lance appear to close for comfort revert Twinkle to the original corner.

The Evil Master turns his servant FireDrogon on Twinkle first, so use the Seeker to account for everything this fearsome foe throws at her. The Dragon dies and drops powerups.Have Twinkle recharge the Javelir Bracelet. Ensure that Twinkle remains more or less central for the duration of this final battle and success is, ultimately, hers! The Master's laser attacks are interupted by his hypnotic crystral ball whos edrowing power is easily resisted

Once its master is felled the Dragon makes its own attempt on Twinkle's life. Reserve all of Twinkle's magic attacks for this time and use them as the Dragon resumes its fireball attacks as the magic absorbs their power. Put Twinkle's Seeker Bracelet into oction when the Dragon swoops down to the bottom of the screen.

The Bogard boys are expert martial artists, due to the years of pent-up aggression and the will to find that justice is done. Their chosen disciplines are hybrids of many techniques throughout the world and, while Terry prefers a casual approach to his dress code, Andy parades the fighting areas in a more practical outfit.

Overall this is on accurate conversion of SNK's coin-op/Neo Coo game of the same name However some features ore absent from the Megodrive version First and foremost ore the missing boss characters: Hwo Jai and Billy Cane, along with their respective locations the Happy Park and South Town Village. For your information Hwa Jai is a drunkard Thai boxer, swigging his rice wine with fury, Billy Cane is your archetypical red neck, toting a huge crimson cane. To compensate for this Taker° hove twisted the story line a touch and placed brother against brother, friend against friend as Terry, Andy and Joe duel for Geese's doom. Fools,

Aspiring to his brother's excellence and eventually, some might argue, surpassing him in terms oft e l•g niqua.

Andy summons fireballs from his fists, dashes at his opponents with a power crush and leaps, feet first, at his enemy. The most spectacular tactic that Andy employs is a swirling, mid-air 12 fist attack.

The first of the longawaited, coin-op style beat 'em ups for the Megadrive is far better than expected, especially after the highly suspicious Super NES version! The absence of two characters doesn't subtract too much from the over all effect, that being a close rendition of the original SNK product. There are a surprisingly large choice of moves available, considering the game is limited to only three buttons, one of which is reserved solely for throwing purposes. Each of the special moves are very impressive, although quite fiddly to pull off on the Megadrive's joypads. Joe's Tiger Knee is especially cool! I find that the ability to iump in and out of the background hinders the gameplay somewhat and is something that the conversion would be better without, as with the Super NES. It's quite neat but the player has no real control and this often results in cries of frustration as the chosen hero collides, clumsily with his opponent, though not at the player's bidding. Also there are occasions where a some of the most basic moves seem unresponsive. Generally, though, the fighting action is very satisfying — finishing off an opponent with a spectacular special move is excellent!

Whilst Fatal Fury locks the scope for fancy combinations, as with better fighting games of this type, it is still absolutely the best one on one combat game for the Megadrive to date and certainly the most lavishly presented. While I still advise waiting patiently for Street Fighter II, the quality of this conversion is very much in its favour and it stands alone as being a very impressive beat 'em up in its own right.

Muoy Thai stands as a powerful martial art doesn't require require too much assistance However, Joe is adept at sending a swirling whirlwind from his bandaged fists, and is capable of pulling off a super-charged tiger-knee attack with the option of a piercing % ding push kick. Joe Higashi also comes prepared with the easiest special move in the game, o flurry of super-fast jabs activated by speedily pushing of the punch button.

Door old Peter Parker. The shy, retiring science ir student went along to a lecture held by his favourite scientist, riding high in the research charts with his hit theory on irradiating smolt things, and accidentally become part of the experiment! The professor was displaying his number one formula by irradiating a little money spider. This spider was accidentally blown across the room by a sneezing zoologist at the end of the show, whereupon it chanced on the hapless Petey's bare arm.

Understandobly a little outraged at having been dragged from its comfy web into the midst of a particle accelerator, the spider lashed out, biting young Parker. The rest, of course, is history. Yes, Peter was left completely unable to climb the sides of baths!

Of course, there was only one way the shattered chap could possibly rebuild his life, and that was to don a gaudy costume and fight crime. Now six of his deadliest enemies have bonded together to trap our hero and and pull all his legs off before washing him down a big plughole.

Spidey's task in hand is to track each of these villains to earth and defeat them before they have a chance to launch a group attack on him in this new platform game from the people who brought you Krusty's Fun House, except they didn't on the Game Gear (yet).

Spider-Man has to be the comic character ripest for conversion to cartridge. Sadly, in most cases not enough is mode of his extraordinary abilities, and such is the case with Revenge of the Sinister Six. That's not to say that it's really a bad game, as Game Gear platform titles go it's not bad at all, but there's certainly a great amount of potential wasted here. For example, there are very few points throughout the game when you actually need to climb walls, or indeed, sling a web — any size! Most of the action centres around pretty standard platform h i However, if you forget about this being a Spidey licence it's a lot better. The graphics links. are very clear, mostly because of the bright, distinct colour use, and although the scrolling is very fast there's no screen blur. However, the one problem is that the game might be just a little bit too fast for its own good.

Everything moves so suddenly it's hard to get a grip on what's going on at times. Mind you there's still a lot going for Spider-Man — it is very enjoyable, and whilst the six levels aren't too long, they do get pretty hard after a while. All in all, not a classic by any means,

Well, in game terms, this means Spidey is a bit of a dab hand at climbing the old walls. This means there are a number of routes through each level.

Apa rt from the excellent first

Megadrive and Master System Spider-Man titles, companies seem to hove a real problem with making my favourite super hero look cool! This is no exception and I should imagine my Dad would look more convincing in the famous red and blue garb than this sad-looking sprite.

The game doesn't play as well as the NES version either as control over his jumping abilities is erratic to say the least: He either jumps on the spot or takes a huge leap with no control over what happens in between! As with the NES version, there is no point in climbing the walls other than frustration with the game! The layout is all too familiar which is not always bad thing if there is something going on to liven things up. Sadly there are few enemies to attack — and even they just hang around exercising their one frame of animation in the most boring fashion possible — so yawns are just queueing up for first place on the player's face.

T of every comedian there lurks a private sadh ness. Some, like Bernard Manning, have to face eevery day in the shadow of obesity. Some, such yas Smith & Jones, aren't as funny as they used sto be. And others, Jimmy Tarbuck for instance, just aren't very funny at all. However, there is o one comedian whose private tragedy outweighs ythat of all of his contemporaries. Yes, the Joker, tfor it is he, is cursed with having hod his act at h Bridlington Pier and his own gameshow on a tellite TV cancelled when he refused on g, tappearance on Celebrity Squares. Now a washed-up has-been of the comedy scene he bonce strode over like a Colossus, the Joker can't eeven get a job presenting Lucky Ladders. What's ha guy to do when faced with such interminable iodds? Joker has no way to keep himself in the nstyle to which he hod grown accustomed ether dthan turning to a life of crime. t Now the Joker plans to wreak his revenge on those who mocked him and the audiences h who didn't laugh loud enough. He has robbed 4 ea number of hi-tech weapons facilities and pursloined a good deal of deadly armaments. So, m under the pretence of being a major promoter, iJoker is organising o big 'chao-ridy' bosh fealturing all of the comedy old school. Now, when Royal Really Big Hall is filled to capacity with ethe stars and their fans the Joker and his cronies sshall unleash a furious barrage of fiery doom. aAnd only the Joker's old adversary (and purveynor of good taste in comedy) Batman can save dthe world in this - gasp! - horizontally-sc ! ling l platform shooter from Sunsoft, creators aoriginal Megadrive Ekitman game. u g h t e r

Batman may be a costumed fighter of crime and seeker of justice, but no-one's safe on the streets anymore. As a result, Ekes° hos ditched his familiar fisticuffs as a means of self-defence and tooled himself up with some slightly heavier weight kit. He starts the game with a fire t r Batarang a p i d -gun, which fires sharp-edged Botarangs at his foes.

Whilst this is highly useful for ridding the world of your average street thugs, the Joker's henchmen ore mode of somewhat sterner stuff, and as such Batters needs to take advantage of the many power-op crakes littered around the path to the Joker's hideout. You see, Batman's new costume has a nurii. bearof built-in weapons, each one requiring batteries. When Ekeman picks up one of the power cells hidden in the many crates lying around he is able to choose which weapon to power up next, although only one weapon is avdllable at any one time Batman's arsenal is as follows:

REVIEW

Sunsoft certainly scored well with their original Batman game, capturing as it did the Gothic feel of the film in the excellent early Megadrive platform game. Well, since then the Megadrive has been flooded with platform games, including another Batman effort, and this time Sunsoft don't have the big-name film licence to cash in on.

However, although the odds 1 are stacked firmly against Revenge of the Joker being worth mentioning, it's actually really good. The graphics are fantastic, very colourful and detailed, capturing the spirit of the comic the some way the first game captured the spirit o the film. The action is very varied indeed, switching between standard platform stages, jet-pack shoot 'em up stages, scrolling zeppelin chases and loads of other styles. The whole thing is worked together seamlessly, so there's none of the patchiness you may expect from such a varied title. Revenge of the Joker is also abso-blinking-lutely dead rock hard indeed. There's so much going on and so much to watch out for you can't relax for a second. It may be a conversion of on NES title, but ROJ is a splendid game.

These moves are more powerful than the standard gun attacks but they do leave our hero more open to attack.

Cor, it's only March and I've already got a leading contender for Donkey of the Year — namely this game's playtester!

Whoever came up with the idea for both a password system AND infinite continues should be shot immediately. The problem is that it effectively gives you infinite lives — meaning that you can spawn your way through the levels and note down the passwords — it's almost like cheating through the game. Eventually, you find yourself at the Joker.

Now, by this time, you've died so many times, you've collected masses of special powerup crystals, meaning that just a few taps of the A, B and C buttons is enough to finish the game. I cannot state in words how pathetic that is It's a real shame because otherwise it's a great game, with some excellent, moody graphics, decent sound and addictive gameplay — quite ironic really, considering it's the addictiveness that exposes its Incredible flaw.

A s Rod might tell you, having green hair makes rt lif e very miserable indeed. Some people just don't understand creative expression when they see it. Unfortunately for Bubby, the hero of Taito's new Rainbow Island's game, he was born with it — green hair that is. So this makes trips to places where his face is unfomiliar o tad difficult, None more so than in the Rainbow Islands, except for completely opposite reasons! Green hair is For too conservative for the Islands' crazy populous and so Bubby's current holiday to the ploce looks like turning into disaster, unless you help him out!

Blessed with the power of casting magical rainbows, an attribute that comes from being born with green hair, Bubby is fighting for his life in these Islands. Help Bubby struggle his way past the hoards of disapproving locals on seven mysterious islands, that make the Mardi Gras look like the House of Commons, take their booty and run!

Bubby is such an inoffensive little character. When soiling through the choice of weapons for use against the enemies in this game, Bubby cast aside the Uzi and the Ghurita knives in favour of rainbows. This isn't such a bad choice though, for what they lack in intimidating properties they make up for with versatility, posing as temporary bridges as well as possessing the obvious destructive capabilities. Enemies ore disposed of by either trapping them beneath falling arches, knocking them out from below or lobbing a rainbow directly at their heads.

C O M M E N While the Master System rendition of the game isn an accurate conversion o the Rainbow Islands coin-op it still manages to retain all th features that make this gam so great. The simplistic style of the graphks is quite deliberate and the main sprites contain much fluid animation and enough colour to make up for the lacking scenery.

There are only three tunes that run throughout, which gets pretty annoying: The remixed version of the 'Over the Rainbow' theme tune really tests the nerves after about the tenth screen.

Nevertheless, gameplay's where it's at and in this case there is nothing much wrong at all. My only problems with the game ore that most of th bosses topple to only a few hits, posing no challenge at all and sometimes the collision detection is slightly dubi cous. However the rest is pure classic platform fun and the strategy required in positioning the enemies for the correct coloured gems introduce a small puzzle element too.

This is platform gaming laid bare, allowing the addition o many novel features that always keep things interesting. Five minutes and you're hooked, I guarantee.

On the odd occasion e d enemy leaves behind a brightly coloured gem for Bubby's pleosure. They reflect as you might expect, the colours of the rainbow and, when lined up in the correct order, their initials spell ROYGBINI which, incidentally, means nothing at all. For this reoson Toito have mode each gem represent a different letter of the word RAINBOW which, by definition, means 'arch of prismatic colours in the sky'. Upon collecting oil the letters the word NICE appears above Bubby's head and, after defeating the end of level boss, Bubby meets up with a friend in a special bonus room. These bonus rooms hove two chests from which Bubby may chose a prize or he has the option of a chat with his mate instead. The prizes are along the lines of permanent special items that improve Bubby's chances of survival. We suggest that you go for these because the conversations ore pretty boring! However, in both situations Bubby is rewarded with one of seven huge gems. He needs to collect seven to successfully complete the game.

F or most peoplefor lifethose is a bummer — except sickening all-american girls with their shiny white teeth and permonent rose-coloured glasses. But for the five bimbos in Night Trap a serious kick up the butt is well on the way when a slumber party turns into their worst nightmare...

The five females in question were wetting their panties when they were invited to a slumber party at the estate of their new pal, Sarah Martin. However,on arrival at the sprawling mansion the general consensus of opinion was that Sarah's folks were "kinda weird" but since they disappeared shortly after the girls arrived, they decided not to worry about it — especially when there was Sarah's cousin, Tony, to drool over.

However, the Martins' home hoc been under observation by the SCAT (Sega Control Attack Team) since five other beauties disappeared without trace from that area. Had they checked out the wine cellar the mystery would have been solved since the Martins are in fact vampires with a penchant for bimbo blood and now Sarah has brought some particulady tasty specimens home for teal SCAT agents hove *arched the house and found surveillance cameras and clever traps in eight sections of the house, all run through a control unit in the basement and are protected by on cess code. The agents hove secretly spliced an override cable into the system allowing you as the internal SCAT operative to 'de yourself in the house and otely control the camera and p units.

Your mission is to protect the lovelies by trapping the horrific, blood-sucking Oggers — servants of the Martins — who are overrunning the house, and foil the Martins' evil plot by constantly rveying all the rooms and keep• your wits about you. Good luck, you'll need it!

Recent Mega-CD releases had lowered my expectations of the machine, but Night Trap has proved to be a stunning surprise. The exquisite presentation of the game more than earns it the label 'interactive' movie, as it has the appearance of a proper film yet offers a lot of interactive opportunities. I love the brilliant 'teen horror flick' atmosphere, created by some suitably cheesy dialogue and corny plot. This is all de libe r-

ate, as the actual directing of

the scenes is well-accom-

plished, making the scenario both easy to follow, and convincing to play. The most Impressive aspect of the game, however, is the proPU R PL E -4 m a rl 1 7

1 gt r1 D IFFER EN T DEATHS 1 All the traps have a built-in sensor which detects when something is within range. When the sensor bar moves into the red1 zone, immediately press B to capture the perpetrator. It's not possible to trap every single Ogger either 7 because they don't go near a trap or they get wise when they see their mote wasted and purposely step round it. Eoch of i or two traps, and to make the eight rooms has one things easier for you here's a list of where the traps ore and what they rdo.

gramming which tags the sequences together. I was blown away by the illusion the game creates of all the events happening at once, in lots of different places. For instance, you can watch the girls arrive in the driveway, or go to the kitchen and hear Sarah announce their arrival from the lobby, or even watch Sarah see them arriving from the front door! This is aided by lightning fast disc access.

Cleverly, the game manages itself up to a climax that is confusing, exciting and challenging to deal with. Because the game follows a set pattern, it can be mapped quite uickly, but it's going to take long time to trap every gger, and the game has some cunning ways of distracting you from vital events.

This is a bit of a showpiece, rather tha n a serious ga me ,

Its a big thank you to Arcade Software for lending us this stonkmg game You can give them o buzz on 081 201 0535

When your mission begins, the access code that allows you to operate the traps, is set at blue The cunning Martins con, and frequently do, change the code throughout the game to red, green, yellow, oronge or purple. There's no warning that its changing unless you happen to be eavesdropping on the Martins in the right ploce ot the right time.

Change the code pronto otherwise Access Denied flashes up, the traps won't open and you're up a certain creek without a certain paddle. rry ivy, it s yor stopsock..aowboy lob etc.,.

COMMEN Trap is certainly revolutionary in the console world. It's lust so different to any. A thing i'vd/1 ever seen and gives me hope that the Mega-CD won't be as sad as some of the games I've seen so for would seem to Indicate. Ws not a game that there seemstotoeveryone be a big — i will appeal divide in the office; some love It (like me) and others think Ws pointless and boring. But the way there's so much going on in different rooms at the same time and the way there are so many different outcomes depending on how successful you are demonstrates some magical programming and certainly keeps you busy. It can be enormously frustrating, especially when you think you're ,getting the hang of the situation then your commanding lofficer throws you off the case for not catching enough of the vermin. The only way to co this, unless you have a ographic memory, is to down the best route.

Is definitely one of the Mega-CD games I've n yet and the sort that • eal to all — definitely rth a look.

BLOOD INTO WIN E To help you in your quest at the house of horror ore a number of undercover SCAT agents, including the luscious Kai (aka Kimberly from Diff'rent Strokes) posing as one of the brainless bints. These agents throughout the game provide diversions, give clues or get themselves captured. One agent in porticular, who looks like CD's version of Rambo, dives into the house fully armed, crawls around a bit and promptly gets himself copturedby the bloodthirsty Oggers. The Ogger's method of capture is to surround the hapless victim, insect a drill into the neck and hang he or she upside down in a cupboard with yards of tubes sucking the life blood out and bottling it — yum yuml Big respect to the v. poor monster posse in the house, &g ave!

Rabbits ore renowned for their, shall we soy, 'verve'.

As young Buster is yet clueless regarding the reason behind his boundless energy, he wears it all off by running about at great speed and springing off walls for some death defying leaps_ In tight situations Buster may crawl along the ground, he is also able to use his ears as handles when sliding down ropes.

Buster even stands still in an enthusiastic kind of way. Consequently Buster gets bored very easily_ Leave him standing for too long and he pretends that he's fallen asleep — of all the cheek!

Fl

t ow stunning this game is! ere are so many aspects Worthy of mention that there simply isn't enough room for my rambling here. The most obvious point of note is how Konami have managed to make the Megadrive's sound chip truly sing with each of the superb, swinging tunes in the game. Quite often the Megadrive suffers from sounds that are a bit rough around the edges, however the effects and melodies in Tiny Toon Adventures are very smooth and crystal clear. In fact it's worth it lust to sit and listen through the sound test, the tunes are that good! pect the most incredible level of challenge m this cart, however this factor is balanced t the many secrets and bonus levels hidden throughout the game. Even then the islands e are quite large and certainly worth playing r through over and over again, if only to witi ness the superb animation and startling e scenery in some of the levels. Grass wavers nin the breeze, snow-capped trees are seen as c shadows behind sheets of crystal. It's amaze ing! Yes, it's another platform game but its one of the finest available for the Megadrive d p me to rival it for pure taste value. If there l a fault then I suppose that the slide attack Ia ailable to Buster hardly features, if at all — but that's it. Just like the cartoons on ft which it is based, Tiny Toon Adventures is tf fast paced, hilarious and impeccably presentoed.

Since Buster is without the treasure map, finding his way about the islands is somewhat difficult. Thank she artist — the closest being toons have to a god — for Gogo Dodo, then l Gino has the rather unsettling habit of disappearing then reappearing all over the place, although this tendency does hove its advantages_ Knowing his way around for one. Gogo awaits Buster at the end of each stage in the game to point Buster in the right direction. In fact Gogo is known to crop up in more than one location in each level, so keep an ear out for him.

Hooting about the treasure islands are bt..bbles that contain the kind of stuff that makes Buster's travels so much easier.

ikely event of the game becoming too dull for your liking, Konami hove lumbered Buster with a few well placed, practical jokes in the proceedings Step on a set of false choppers and Buster is sent screaming into the airl On another occasion Buster is bounced into a cannon and shot up into the stratosphere Watch out for the tin cans too, unless you enjoy watching poor young Buster foil flat on his face. Of course, no collection of visual gags is complete unless it contains the old 'standing on a rake and get smocked in the teeth' gag

COMMENT

HEARTS: Replace one heart of Buster's vitality.

I was stunned by Konomi's Super NES Tiny Toons game, and I'm pleased to see that the Megadrive version (although a different game) is of a similarly exceptional quality. Paul's right about the sound — it's amazing!

The tunes capture the fun and zest of the cartoon characters perfectly, and the sound effects match the game perfectly! Gameplaywise, Tiny Toons bears a resemblance to the Nintendo Mario series, with its world map and variety of secret levels. I can't stress lust how superb the game is to play. Konami have got the control mode just right — there's no screaming at the console because the game's unresponsive or anything, it's perfects There's loads in the game too — the world map is vast and there are many devious levels to conquer. Tiny Toon Adventures had me glued to the Megodrive for ages! I'm

I can't bring myself to like Sunset Rides at all! Ever since the first moment I clapped my eyes and fortunate ears on its many ti-features I have avoided It like the garbage it is.

Besides looking and soundin aweful the gameplay is a dull and a pretty pointless state a affairs, its just shooting and more shooting in some of the most uninspiring situations I've ever seen. It's far too easy, especially when there's only four short levels in the offering! Good grief. For as long as it lasts the game is a playable as it deserves, the vigilantes walk where you want them to, fire when they're supposed to and earn themselves lots of points, but who cares? I don'll Especially when the game shares the some atmosphere as a room full of stale farts.

Before I knew it the game was completed and I'd had enough of 'Oops, there goes another Injun' and 'Whoa, hey — mind those cowboys' P e r h a p s Westerns are your pot of baked beans and anything remotely related to the subject gets you all hot around the chaps, but even then there's precious tie here to satisfy anyone.

REVIEW

BONUS BAG

11 I'd really been waiting for these first Konami products, since they're the King of Nintendo at the moment, and I'm pretty impressed with this in the event. Sunset Riders was never a brilliant coin-op to convert, but it's quite a lark on the Megadrive. The graphics are great, well coloured and with some neat animation. each of the levels has lots of little features, and things to aim for. The twoplayer mode is especially good, as the feeling of working together is there, and the duel option is a superb addition that gives more lasting interest than the main game.

That's because it's too easy, unfortunately. With only four levels you'll have this licked in days. The other main gripe concerns the control. Too •ften I found myself sliding instead of jumping, or just not • ucking. Firing is fine, but the • vement control often lets ou down. These two downers • re unfortunate, since the .!ame itself is highly enjoy• We and action-packed, for hat it has. A quality debut rom Konami, but maybe not • rush-out-and-buy sort of a • ame.

S ometimes upbelieve and in fighting forstanding what you is seen as a virtue, not a flaw in character Don't take things lying down, when you con stand up and take things into your own nands, giving the world something it richly deserves! Know your enemy! Toke the power back!

Justice for all! However, in this age where turning the other cheek is for pussies, yet a sound knowledge of some ace fighting moves is regarded as cool for cats, the situation is a mite confusing. Renegade, the latest beat em up for the Master System, aims to educate us in the benefits of this method of thought. The scenario states that, once again, the pavements ore crawling with all the wrong kinds of people, therefore requiring o fine upstanding person like yourself for a spot of urban pacification — vigilante style!

Most of the oction takes place on the city streets but there are those who prefer to take the battle indoors, crashing through the corridors and letting loose in the living rooms of N E Ville's notorious drug barons, pimps, massmurderers, gong leaders — you know the type of thing. Renegade, the coin-op, is notorious for its violent scenes of skull-splitting action and, shall we say, expressive portrayal of unarmed combat.

Most notably though is Renegade's less discriminoting attitude to the whole beat 'em up scene, man. It's a no-holdsbarred, dirty-move central, fist fest without a doubt. So, with cotton swabs and TCP at the ready, we present the Moster System version of this depravity to you, oh gentle readers. .1 1 1 1 6 1 ara,1 1 ..—

Too much excitement makes this particular renegade go completely crazy! Baffling away for long periods of time seriously affects his metabolism and, as a result our renegade boy flashes and becomes immensely powerful. Foes that usually require a succession of punches ond kicks to the head fall to a single punch or kick and, what's more, are sent whizzing off the screen in a most spectacular fashion. Cori —

1COMMENT Renegade is the sort of game which when first switched on makes you think you're in for a good ride (metaphorically speaking of course). But after a few minutes you realise that although it looks quite pretty graphically, that's about it. All the baddies on the individual levels ore identical and can all be dispatched with in the same way — the flying kick. You can punch them, chuck them, knee them in the groin or bash them while they're down if you so wish, but what's the point when the flying kick Is the only one that really works to any great effect? Naturally these factors all add up to a short, sharp trip to Dullsville.

The motorcycle scene is a refreshing change but not enough to rescue this game from mediocrity. Renegade was an absolute winner on other 8-BIT machines in the long distant past and basically, this is where this Master System game looks like it

COMMEN

Renegade is striking when you consider the amount of moves on offer.

Smacking the opposition when they're flat on their backs is very satisfying, as is chucking them about the screen and pulling them close in for the odd knee-bashing to the guts!

Certainly this game has much of the ingredients necessary for a successful beat 'em up.

Okay, so the graphics are basic looking and the music flat but I thought the gameplay held much promise. The motor-bike section doesn't feature in the original coin-op and so is a pleasant surprise.

I hoped similar features might crop up later in the game but there were none, lust more standard beat-emup fare to stifle and deprave.

Soon I realised that Renegade also fails because it is only necessary to use one manoeuvre, namely the flying kick, repeatedly in every situation. It all becomes boring very quickly, causing any challenge the game had on offer to fade into insignificance as foe after hapless foe falls to the renegade's flying feet. The only factor that adds any kind of urgency to these situations is the time limit, forcing the player to get stuck in rather than dodder about taking too much time.

Consequently the defeat of every baddie that happens along is met with a shallow, seen-it-all-before feeling and Renegade is ultimately a big let down.

T h ere are now three, not two I things that may always be relied upon: death, taxes, and a new American Football game from EA. But this ain't John Madden's — forget your NFU, Ft% and KLFs. This is futuresport American Football, a sort of cyberpunk playoff of the most grotesque teams in the spooniverse, The conferences span galaxies, ond the games ore played on the most bizarre surfaces. Future eras also take a more liberal attitude towards the rules of the game, which is violent enough already.

However, how would a present day QB react to a Semtex laden football? He'd go to pieces most probably. But such is an everyday occurrence is the stadia of the Mutant Leaguers.

There are two types of goals: 'touchdowns or field goals. A uchdown is achieved when the on offence player, in possession Making allowances for comcrosses the backline of the plete novices, here is a quick defences half. A fieldgool is tour of the game 'American scored when the ball passes Football': between the posts behind the defence's half. Touchdowns score six, field goals score three.

A And they think its sit over.

1111111111111 MEGADRIVE To achieve m m e n t , the possessors execute three types of play: running, passing or kicking. A running play is simply that, a dash with the boll for as long as possible. A passing play involves switching the boll carrier to break the defence. Lastly kicks are used to score goals or punt the boll right down the park in a final down. You, as coach, pick the plays from your formations...

FORMATIONS

a u Di a

The tactics screen shows all the formations available_ Each formation sets up the team for a number of ploys, all following the some theme. For excimple 'Shotgun' formation accesses a number of plays which aim to carry the ball over a long yardage quickly. 'Impact' formation readies the team for head on assaults to make yardage by pure force There specialised are defensive formations too, to .match the offense's tactics

Before the ploy begins, with the 'snap', your Quarter Back has the option to change tactics with an audible. This is a shout that alerts the players to the new ploy. An audible con change the play, or make the players do a 'nasty'. The three nasties ore: placing a bomb in the boll; giving the runner a burst of super speed; and killing the rail It's sometimes necessary to kill the ref. if the other team hos successfully bribed him

Some mutants blending into each other and the ba c k ground yesterday.

This is my

entry to

American Football, so I have

to be careful at making comparisons. This

certainly looks different to John Madden's, but see past the cosmetics of the mutant theme, and the similarity of presentation is striking.

Confirmed by Rich, I noticed many of the plays were much the same as JM, and the emphasis on stets is maintained here. So really the new features don't really make it that different to be worth getting, unless the oddball style really appeals. As a game in

Glis

its own right, I confess to

•••

An £ dl I i

Each team in possession has four attempts, or 'downs to move up he field with the ball. A down ends when the player is stopped or drops the ball. The position is marked by the linesman. If the ball hasn't moved ten yards forward in these four downs possession switches to the opponent. If the total movement or 'yardage' is greater than ten yards, play reverts to a first down.

being a mite frustrated. The computer controlled players don't seem to follow your play strategies as much as you would like, and this confusion is exacerbated with the crowded display. Passing, also, is very difficult, making audacious plays to long receivers very dodgy. So the game turns into a series of stodgy turnovers. Despite these frustrations, there's plenty of game there to explore, and tactics to learn. I don't think the new scenario is good enough to raise it above Ma dde n's .

Allicellent series all eats and options, presswords„ conferences and clear in game presentation.

' = E l l I realty like Muta nt League Football — I think the pre sentation and graphics are s ma rt and it plays really well. The concept of having so many different alien races a nd surfaces gives the ga me plenty of variety — something I like to see in games. Muta nt League Football does have its faults through. Principally, I think the ma in fa ult is tha t it plays so similarly to John Ma dde n Football — even some of the formations a nd plays are the same. Also, sacking a n opposing player seems to be fa r too easy — especially against a huma n player. In a two-player game, it seems to be on endless cycle of swapping possession, with very little in the way of touchdowns.

If you ha v e n't got any of the John Ma dde n series of games, check this out. If you're after the greatest simulation of pure American Football, John Ma dde n '92 still rules supreme.

TUNNELTESTER Each unit in the Sewer Shark team is assisted by a navigation droid. Ghost and yourself ore pointed in the right direction by 'Catfish' — cylindrical, googly-eyed machine with an irritating American accent. This unit is, unfortunately, indispensable as Catfish dictates the directions for the sewer hog to take if it is to ovoid an untimely end to its mission Directions ore relayed in sets of three and take the form of points on a clock.

For example the directions 'twelve, nine, three' apply to the directions up, left and then right. Junctions in the tunnel network are indicated by a set of arrows at the top of the cockpit's display panel. So, when on arrow 'fkishes green this indicates that a junction is approaching and changes to yellow when your craft is directly over the junction. A red arrow tells you that you hove either taken the wrong turning or missed it altogether!

OMMENT The Mega-CD h exactly dazzled so far, so this is a welcome arrival to a struggling scen part of the e is impecc sented, resemg a decent qual i-fi series rat a console game! f o r the correct junctions whilst paying attention to the blasting action in the main view er is very compelling indeed and certainly gets progressively harder as the mission progresses. Ma ames fail due to the detached g from the action, yet this is cliff t because of its irresistible, in g playability. Though the con • er your hog is relatively limited in mparison to more competent sho m ups, the gameplay is still very warding. My first couple of goes giving rise to that 'lust one more syndrome! Given that this is one• the first decent titles to emerge that the presentation of the game like nothing you'll see on a standa Megadrive cart I certainly recommend that you buy this stunning game! If you own a Mega-CD a are feeling a little sorry with yo in life at the moment, this is def ly one to brighten that situation' Let's hope that this standard of ware continues because, if it does, the Mega-CD may well have a future in this country!

E ductive capabilities of rabbits but not many v people know that the humble rot 'goes to it' with just e as much gusto - if not morel These pesky critters r churn them out like a sausage factory. y This little-known fact is something Krusty the Clown has discovered to his dismay, as the randy o rodents hove chosen his fun house to transform n a rat-ridden maternity clinic with a baby rat into e dropping out faster than you con say Rat-O-Kill! k place is crawling with the little varmints and The n up to you, as Krusty, to work your way through it's the o 50 plus rooms of hi 5 house of funny business, rounding up all the rats and guiding them to their w doom at the hands of a sinister henchman at the s helm of the rodent-wasting Machine of Doom. a This task isn't as easy as it sounds since the rots b about as intelligent as Norman Lamont on a are o Wednesday.

So by strategically placing blocks, u repairing broken pipes, wasting the ill-assorted t bunch of baddies the object is to pave the way for at smooth passage to the great rat-house in the sky. h e f a m o u s , 1 1 1-:1 1 eM oft 4 W i r k P rk. ,e r'd e p V riti•'s t o a Fie ' . o .W . T I P -

Deadly weapons aren't the only things stashed in the mysterious purple boxes — there are a whole heap of power-ups to collect in the some manner.

These include bags, burgers, drinks and a corkscrew-type thing, all of which give you energy as well as clown-shaped 1-UPs. Blue blocks scottered around ore picked up by standing on them and pressing DOWN. These also act as a useful ladder for Krusty and the rats to reach inaccessible nooks, or to block up broken pipes. Yellow blocks ore kickable but cannot be destroyed. Lostly, by standing on a blue block and pressing DOWN and jumping simultaneously, Krusty jumps much higher and he takes the block with him. There ore also springsenabling him to jump higher still, not forgetting moveoble blowers to blow the rats towards heir goals.

MASTER SYSTEM

The cantankerous clown is constantly bombarded by the bullets fired by a variety of weird and wonderful enemies. He doesn't die for the first few hits but he gradually gets more and more worn down — eventually huffing and puffing enough to give Ivor the Engine a run for his money, before finally kicking the bucket To combat the onslaught of the vindictive scum, Krusty is able to accumulate an arsenal comprising rock-hard cannonballs or, aptly, custard pies, simply by placing a well-aimed kick at the purple boxes that litter his house. As well as putting the meanies out of action, notching up points in the process, he also uses the balls to bash down the walls that block hidden passageways.

Con this really be an 8bit game? Because looking at this wickedly fun puzzle-cum-platform romp you could swear it was the Megadrive version. This Is an absolutely stonking conversion with excellent animation on the main Krusty sprite — especially when he falls, dies or gets impatient when you leave him standing too long. The way the rats are wasted in a variety of sick but hilarious ways is also wonderful. I suppose I have to object to the main theme of the game — cold-bloodedly murdering innocent rats with obvious relish is enough to get any animal lover streaming for the RSPCA. But for all that it's really good fun and completely addictive, if very frustrating at times — like when you have to get through a bonus room within an ultra-tough time limit or when the route between the rots and the death machine seems impossible to bridge. But if you possess a Master System and a keen brain, Krusty's Fun House is an essential purchase.

Time is a major feature of this game K ru st y receives a time bonus if he finishes the levels in ble quick time. It's always better to sort the rots o before pursuing the bonuses because sometimes they rush towards their destination and get stuck on inaccessible hole which means a whole heap hair-tearing frustration when there's no choice b to abort (by pressing PAUSE and Button 2). On s sub-levels there's a hidden bonus room accessed kicking the special bonus blocks. Some hove on incredibly tough time limit added - if t m e not completed in time the final door doe , so you hove to start all over again. Doh!

Krusty's is a bit of on unsung classic, so Master System owners should celebrate the • fact that nothing is missing in this conversion. After browsing over the screen shots here it shouldn't need me to tell you that Krusty's on the 8-bit Sega machine is pretty amazing! What's more it plays and moves in exactly the someway as its Megodrive predecessor. Incredibly, every feature is included right down to the crazy little Egyptian dance that Krusty performs should he wait in one place for too long.

Gameplay-wise, the game is far less fussy than the other, similar puzzle types available and generally more entertaining as a result.

T h ere you were, happily I indulging in your pastime of some-craft Hying, when, all of a sudden, the controls of your croft fused! Shtankl Amazingly, you manage to find a suitable planet to land on. The problem is, you don't survive the crash — dohl Luckily, an alien entity finds your shattered body and implants your conscience into a cyborg frame.

What's more, this alien scum decide to erase your memory!

Aiieel However, the memory wipe doesn't go quite to plan, so you decide to use your new-found cybernetic powers to locate the alien entity and give it "some of that" (note: raise your fist threateningly Harrod-style, in conjunction with the lost phrase for the • full effect). The only problem is, to destroy the entity you're going to have to get through legions of enemy cyborgs!

So, it's best violence trousers on and time to punch, kick and shoot the cock out of every alien that moves!

I love Cyborg Justice — it's great! The graphics are astonishing.

The level of detail on the sprites and the amazingly lifelike animation (bested only by Flashback), make this a visually gorgeous game. There's a lot in it too! It takes you ages to master all of the weapons and the various moves. Just when you think you've mastered it all, you suddenly find yourself picking up your opponents and chucking them about, or yanking off your enemy's arms and making use of them yourself — brilliant! Cyborg Justice just gets better when another player decides to join in. The two-player action is great — the amount of fluid, high-speed action is simply unbelievable. If there is a fault with the game, it's down to the lack of backdrops and interaction with the scenery.

Still, this is a miracle for a four megabit cartridge — I can only think of how good it would've been if a whole eight meg were available.

Any road up, as it is,Cyborg Justice is a superb beat 'em up — get it!

In the Assembly Room, you're oble to effectively customise your entire cyborg. You con change the sidearm your robot has ond even choose the torso you want to possess. To finish off your creation, simply odd the legs! A number of different models ore on offer, detailed further in this very review. To test your creation, enter the Test Room and test away! Your cyborg performs exactly as it does in the main game.

OMMENT Like Ecco, Cyborg Justice happens along with the same type of ground-breaking ingredients that have contributed to Ecco's enormous success. Though the title may suggest a predictable game based around some sad, platform roaming or sidescrolling journeying character the truth is refreshingly different. From a distance the game looks average, perhaps quite dull. However, after experiencing the high level of control over this cyborg, I am hopelessly hooked! Really! I mean, buy it first and read this later, it's that good! For those still in doubt let me tell you of the incredible animation and then of the superb feeling gained from successfully wrenching an opponent's arm from the socket and clobbering it smartly over the head. Though the backdrops may lack detail, they provide the right amount of atmosphere to what is, nevertheless, a visual feast! The Ecco team hove also honoured their recently established reputation for quality soundtracks here. In place of the expected, often tacky themes usually on offer there is a succcession of tasteful and relevant strains that compliment the action perfectly. Cyborg Justice is one high-class title that is currently without competition from anything remotely similar. The action found in Streets of Rage II even seems quite limited by comparison. Buy

JAZ: Golf mightn't be everyone's cup of tea, but PGA Tour Golf is so well produced, it should appeal even to those who'd normally never think about buying a golf game.

MATT: PGA Tour Golf may not look visually exciting, but for any golfing fan (or anyone who fancies something different) this is the one to get.

WHATWESAYN nit we grossly underrated this at the method is one of the greatest ever and the game is simply superb. We sh van it an overall mark of 95% - over the I years I've played this more than any other Megadrive game! Nowadays it's been superced

by PGA II, which is even better!

RICH: I think we underrated it at the time, but it's about the right mark now. However, what's the point of having this when you can have the superior • A Tour Golf II? Get & instead,

Boxing is boxing. Enter the ring and punch the living daylights out of the opposition. Hurrah.

WHATWESAID THEN JAZ: Heavyweight Boxing is great fun for an hour or two, but it doesn't take too long before it becomes predictable and dull.

MATT: There are only five opponents to beat and the distinct lack of options sersiously damages the game's long term prospects.

WHATWESAYNOW JAZ: What I said then still applies now. Some things never change...

MATT: If you're a fan of the sport, this is a good buy, but whether it's worth the price is debatable

Whey hey! Yahoo! At last!

Final Fight on the Mega-CD is incredible. The definitive beat 'em up has all the features of Capcom's classic coin-op which means that all three characters are here in the best simultaneous twoplayer fighting action on any machine — apart from Street Fighter II, of course! Even on EASY difficulty setting this conversion is mightily challenging, the screen resembling the London Underground at rush hour — it's just so packed with sprites for the killing!

As is expected from a CD, the sound tracks are slick and groovy renditions of the arcade originals — in fact they're better! Likewise the sound effects come blasting from the speakers with fantastically sickening, over-the-top duplications of fist against bone and knife into arm! It's just excellent to hear Hagar as he roars into the next punishing piledriver or Guy scream into another damaging, flying kick and then the cries and screams of all those on the receiving end! Due to the virtually limitless memory of the Mega-CD the representation of each three characters is both detailed and smoothly animated. Even Cody looks pretty good in this conversion. Final Fight is the best scrolling beat 'em up ever! It makes the Streets of Rage games look very poor indeed with respect to the comparitive intelligence of the enemy sprites and the associated pleasure of 'doing away' with them. There's really nothing else to say, and with Street Fighter II loitering with menacing intent lust a few months away (hopefully — Rich) I

There's some cl i st i n ct l y unsavouryalligut spot" I — big, pus-ridden, unsightly zits oozing out of your face, back or buttocks are something I could never imagine being mode to look attractive but somehow Virgin has managed it with the hero of their new Megadrive release — Cool Spot.

Spot is the man of the hour with his glowing red body and groovy sunglasses, he's the kind of acne that'd cover your whole face given half a chance he hasn't the time for such dallying because his friends — Spot, Spot, Spot, Spot. Spot, Spot, Sp Spot, Spot, Spot, Spot and Spot are in deep trouble and he's the only one who con save them.

For years, Spot's arch-enemy Wild Wicked Willy Will has been trying to capture a real live Spot to prove to the world that they really do exist (though why a Willy would wont to catch spots I haven't a clue — most people hove to get Penicillin to get rid of them)!

To achieve his wily ways, Willy has set cunning Spot trap cages in all the places where a Spot might be lurking with amazing results — every cage has caught a Spot apart from our hero who has to now slurp through 1.1 platform levels blasting baddies like crabs, shellfish and assorted insects with bubbles (although it's not bubbles that spots usually emit) and freeing his chums.

Our sneak peek at the squeezable one has revealed some of the 250 excellent Spot animations — this guy is Cool with a capital C. The backgrounds look pretty spiffy as well as you wonder through the Beach Front, Pier Pressure and Oft The Wall and seven spot-size worlds from the beach to the toy store.

H and saw a gre a t deal of the 1 6 -me g ga me in action. Hurra h!

Basically, the plot involves the evil General Killba ba of Desert Strike — or ra the r his son! Yes indeed, for this murderous offspring has clubbed together with some South American drug lords a nd now they're marching their evil forces towards the Unite d States! In fact, by the time the ga me starts, tanks have rolled into Washington, a nd they're thre a te ning to blow up all of the historic monuments in acts of unbridled terrorism! It's down to you in your Comanche chopper to ta k e on the General's son a nd his murderous minions.

Desert Strike ha d four major campaigns — Jungle Strike has a massive nine! Wha t's more, unlike its predecessor with its samey backdrops, the sequel has a vast variety of different scenery. There's the greenery of Washington, mounta in-top ice levels, some brilliant jungle scenes (of course) a nd loads more besides! Fab eh? d — in fact, the screen updates a t twice the speed of the original! The sound has be e n upgra de d for the sequel too — a ll-ne w digitised samples have been incorporated into the ga me to a dd to the realism.

Wha t else can we say? We only spent a couple of hours looking a t a pre production version of Jungle Strike a nd already we've been ta k e n aback by its unbridled levels of excellence! Smart eh? Well look out for the complete review to this smart ga me really soon!

Accolade has packed a lot of action into Hardball III, and included lots of authentic features of major league parks such as foul territories.

The play-by-play commentary by Al Michaels is excellent but as for the verdict on the gameplay and everything else you'll hove to wait for the future full review in MEAN MACHINES SEGA.

A "Witil, More goes the ball then- Ms." Although to most Brits baseball is about as exciting as a case of piles, to the yanks it's big business and in this one- or two-player game, Accolade hove done their best to recreate the game as accurately as possibly — with some success from what we've seen so far.

S ega's policy of converting allMegadrive the molar proceeds Marvel Comics characters on to the apace with The X-Men. Based on the biggest-selling comic of all-time, this game looks like being hot!

The basic idea is that the mutants' arch-enemy, Magneto has seized control of a high-power satellite and is beaming disruptive signals to the X-Men Danger Room — a high-tech room that uses machinery and holograms to simulate dangerous situations.

In this room, the X-Men hone their skills in their battle against evil super-powered beings.

What this all boils down to is level upon level of scrolling platform action, with you (and a mate in two-player mode) daring to defeat the various holograms of X-enemies (including the dreaded Juggernaut and Apocalypse!) that Magneto has created.

We've had a few hours concentrated play on The X -even in the amateur mode! Comic fans should be delighted with this game as it adheres quite closely to M the e original stories as well, It's due to be released in May, so look out for the definitive review next month! n a n d c a n r e p o r t t h a t i t i s e x t r e m e l y t o u g h —
