Mixing business with pleasure is no problem with an Atari 520 ST, 

Not when you've got over 1,000 software titles to choose from. 

You'll find all the latest games and a huge range of business titles 

from the top business software houses. And the range is growing allthe time. 

You won't be short of power, either. The Atari 520 51 

is twice as powerful as most business micros. 

So you'll be able to create spectacular colour 

graphics. Even animate them to make your own films, 

If you're musically minded, you can compose and 

play a full symphony. 

Or, for those who'd rather write programs than 

music, the 520 ST supports over thirty 

programming languages

Micronaut, due to be released 

on the Nexus label next month. 

In it you pit your wits against a 

giant computer riddled with 

parasites. It's your job to keep the 

corridors free of bugs and to 

transport vital energy around to 

keep the computer going. The 

game is packed with Pete's usual 

gimmicks including a neat "colour" 

change option for the control 

panel. Definitely one to watch out 

for. Full review next issue — watch 

out for that as well!

The Last Ninja that doesn't

The ultimate aim of the 

games is to guide the Ninja and 

find the secret scrolls hidden in 

the palace at the end of the 

game. 

The first two loads are set in 

what could be described as a 

wilderness outside the palace. 

filled with swamps, rivers,

Pimple, Rubbishman or Tom 

Thug when we're attempting to 

beat our deadlines. But YOU 

will if you decide to take on the 

editorship of Oinkl 

The idea is quite simple 

really. You play the three subgames 

to earn points and win 

parts of pages which you use to 

fill up your issue of Oink! 

You can read the panels you 

win as you go these contain 

words of wisdom, jokes and 

puzzles. Studying these panels 

provides a break from the 

frantic action of the games 

themselves. 

As you play you build up your 

circulation — can you beat 

C+VG's 106,571? 

Let's take a look at the three 

sub-games one by one. First up 

is Pete's Pimple. Like the other 

games this is based— 

extremely loosely — on 

characters from the comic. This 

is Arkan-Oink or maybe even

Breakout type game. 

You bounce Pete's Pimple 

around the screen knocking out 

the blocks and blasting 

oncoming aliens and collecting 

mystery bonuses. There are 12 

different screens, Clear ten and 

all the panels on page one of 

your issue will be filled then go 

back and play the two other 

screens for bonus panels which 

you can place where you like in 

your magazine.

hitting blocks marked with

Fly at ground level as much 

as possible, as flying high uses 

up energy at a faster rate — and 

Rubbishman can collapse just

At the end of each zone

the most difficult game to get 

into in the package until you get

If you don't know the comic it 

doesn't matter in the least. The 

games don't have that much to

conversion releases for the 

s u e r . 

The original Narrico coin-op 

wasn't a classic by any means 

and the US Gold programmers 

haven't done a bad job 

converting it. Butt found early 

levels too easy to play and later 

levels too difficult. 

More on that later — but in 

case you haven't seen the game 

before, here's a quick run down 

on what it's all about. 

You find yourself in the 

running shoes of a futuristic 

jogger out to break speed 

records in a marathon race 

across a 23rd century city. 

The streets are full of hazards 

— static, mobile and explosive. 

It's your task to run, jump and 

dodge as fast as you can and 

beat the clock earning megapoints 

and progressing to the 

next, more difficult level. 

That's the idea — how about 

the execution? Well, as you'd 

expect, the Atari ST version 

looks closest to the original — 

although the jogger character is 

tiny_ Scrolling is pretty smooth 

arid the tune almost identical to 

the original. Graphics are nice

game from the budgetmasters 

released in time to coincide 

with the Milk Race the round 

Britain cycle marathon which 

rivals the Tour de France.

challenging game to attempt. 

At first glance you might 

think, ho-hum, this isn't so hot. 

But grab your joystick and start 

pedalling and you'll soon be 

hooked. 

Milk Race is basically a 

horizontally scrolling dodge 

and weave game. 

Your rider has to avoid being 

KO'd by other riders and cars 

while aiming to pick up as many 

bottles of milk as he can to keep 

all important energy levels up. 

Make sure you keep an eye on 

the gears as well. You're in 

charge of a slick 12-speed 

racing bike here and gear 

changes are crucial to a good 

time on special stages. 

Some sections of the race are 

timed, some aren't. Fail to 

complete a timed section within 

the limit and it's all over. And 

watch your energy meter. 1,000 

miles is a long way and you 

don't want to burn Out before 

you reach the finish line, do 

you? 

To start with you'll find 

— watch out for the Coke cans. 

The Coke cans feature in the 

Amstrad version too but the 

graphics are generally chunky 

and the animation of your 

jogger is fairly crude. 

Perhaps the most 

disappointing version is on the 

64. Once again you're faced 

with chuncky graphics. 

The music is good — but just 

try playing the game with it 

turned off. Where are the sound 

effects? A few bleeps and burps 

for jumps and an explosion 

sound for the landmines. That's 

it. No running sounds at all. 

You might find yourself 

captured by the game for short 

periods— but unless you 

REALLY loved the coin-op 

original and don't want to 

spend any more money trying 

to beat it, I reckon you might 

find the asking price of nearly 

fl 0 for some versions a bit too 

much.

yourself on your bum in the 

road most of the time — riders 

and cars coming up from 

behind can knock you off as 

easily as potholes and crashes. 

The road gradients vary as 

you race — that's where a quick 

gear change will gain you vital 

time— and maybe an extra few 

places in the race. 

There are 84 other riders to 

pass before you hit the lead 

position. 

Background graphics 

crowds and landscape — are 

attractive, and scrolling and 

animation are smooth. There's 

a nice driving tune to keep 

things moving along as well. 

Milk Race doesn't break any 

new ground in gameplay — but 

it is entertaining, exciting, 

topical and good value for just 

two quid.

bottom of the screen until the 

target colour is achieved. 

When you zap an alien, green 

pearls are deposited on the 

screen. If Wizball can pass over 

it and pick it up it lights the 

first icon at the top of the 

screen, The Wiz can now select 

the feature. Obviously the more 

pearls collected, the more 

weapons available. 

Icon one: Gives more control 

over the Wizball, allowing it to 

move left and right_ Antigrav 

halts the perpetual bouncing of 

the Wizball. 

Icon two: Beam— the supabeam 

weapon, Double — both 

the Wiz and cat get automatic 

two-directional fire power. 

Icon three: Catelite — Wiz 

gets a cat. 

Icon four: Blazers Super 

power for the Wiz and cat. 

Icon five: Win Spray mega 

spray protection. Cat Spray — 

same for the furry one. 

Icon six: Shields— limited 

protection for Wiz and cat. 

Icon seven: Smart Bomb— 

the ultimate killer. 

The Wizball is fiendishly 

difficult to control first of all, 

almost to the point of hairtearing 

frustration. Ill had a 

gripe about this game it is that 

it's a little too difficult to get 

going. 

By the way, check out how 

the Wizball materialises on the 

screen. It appears to come out 

of its own mouth. Clever that, 

You can put spin on the ball 

using the joystick, hitting the 

fire button fires the weapons. 

I've managed to get round the 

first three levels— you drop 

through holes, tubes or craters 

to achieve this. 

This is the best Ocean game 

for a long time.

REVIEWER' CHRIS 

From the house which brought 

you Way of the Tiger and 

Avenger comes their newest 

beat- em-up, Samurai Trilogy. 

Based on the ancient samurai 

warriors, the game is a combat 

simulation in the vein of Fist. In 

this one you have to train in 

various formats — karate, kendo 

and then samurai — to achieve 

the ultimate title, Samurai War 

Lord. 

The three different styles 

have their own set moves, but 

you only get about three 

attacking ones to choose from 

in each. The moves are spin kick 

froundhouse), punching and a 

flying kick in karate, overnead, 

side, and low cuts in samurai 

and similar moves in kendo. But 

in kendo you get an extra 

attacking move. Gosh! 

Once you have made a choice 

of who to tackle, you are given 

your opponent's case history, 

hobbies and favourite ice 

cream I 

Then you may re-select if you 

think he will mash you. 

If he looks OK, you then 

allocate five points between the 

four fighting attributes, skill, 

speed, stamina and strength. 

Why did they miss out brains? 

You must do this twice, once 

for attack and again for defence, 

after which you fight. 

As soon as the fighting screen 

pops up, you notice the game's 

worst point, the graphics. The 

graphics, if you can call them 

that, are of a Vic-20 standard, 

featuring yellow characters with 

eyes like cylon warriors. 

After the initial shock is over, 

you must get down to it. Your 

attack and defence strength 

bars are shown in red, your 

opponent's in blue, The idea is 

NM, 

to bash your opponent's 

defence to nothing. 

This is easier said than done, 

and as you have a time limit, it 

becomes even more infuriating. 

Many's the time my opponent 

had only a pixel left on this bar, 

while I was still strong, and the 

time ran out. Annoying or what? 

After each fight you must 

re-select your attack/defence 

strategy, while doing this you 

are supposed to be meditating. 

Should you beat all your 

opponents, you may move on 

to kendo, and then samuria, 

Samurai Trilogy was a great 

idea, but failed mostly because 

of the graphics and terrible 

standard of animation. How 

software companies can release 

stuff with such a naff 

arrangement of pixels I'll never 

no. 

Having said that, the music is 

great. Really 'oriental' and it 

goes with the idea of the game.

REVIEWER: DAVID 

Stryfe is a plan-view, multiscreen 

arcade adventure from 

the French studio ERE, who 

produced the excellent Get 

Dexter and Macadam Bumper 

for PSS. 

Set in the magical Kingdom 

of Faerie, two gnomes take on 

the might of the Powers of Evil, 

led by The Great Morvelinh 

who, according to the sleeve 

notes, is 'the least known of all 

demons'l 

As you know, gnomes come 

in all shapes and sizes, well one 

size actually — small. Some 

become great fighters, others 

renowned sorcerers, but all are 

well versed in the art of magick. 

Stryfe features two 

legendary gnomes in Vlamir, a 

top-notch sorcerer, and Olaf, 

who makes Rambo look like a 

performing flee. Your job is to 

guide one or both of these 

half-pint heroes through 

countless regions of the 

kingdom, destroying the Gates 

of Evil en route. Finally, if you're 

still alive, you must find and 

destroy Morvelinh himself, 

deep inside his lair known as 

the Black Pit. 

10440 

gridiron. 

You can run with the ball or 

attempt to catch a blistering 

throw from your quarterback — 

which 'aint easy. And that gives 

this particular computer version 

of American football a touch of 

authenticity. You see your 

"hands" at the bottom of the 

screen — and if you've made all 

the right moves the leather will 

slip smoothly into your waiting 

mitts i 

The graphics are very 

effective — the figures are big 

and smoothly animated. And 

there's some gimicky speech 

simulation when the 

quarterback shouts out the 

"play". 

The major drawback of the 

game is the complexity of the 

menu driven action. Although 

you control the ball carrier/

Since Morvelinh's rise to 

power, many thousands of 

horrid beings have poured 

through the Gates of Evil and 

infested Faerie, These include 

Kobolds, Green Sprites, Trolls 

and Phantoms, all of which 

have different characteristics, 

mostly mean. 

Various objects can be 

collected to help you with your 

quest. Of these, the most useful 

are keys and potions. Golden 

keys give you access to the next 

region of Faerie. You can only 

pick up a gold key when in 

possession of a silver one. 

If Vlamir, the sorcerer, uses 

a potion, it will destroy all 

enemies together with any 

Gates of Evil on the screen, A 

potion in Olaf's hands will only 

destroy the gates. Other objects 

include hams for extra energy 

and a chest containing money 

and experience points. 

Each region of Faerie is 

dotted with trees, lakes, 

buildings, walls (that form 

mazes in some levels), hills, 

columns, and, of course, a 

liberal smattering of Evil Gates. 

All of which block your path. 

Often you'll have to use a 

potion in order to get to a key or 

the exit to another region. ' 

The screen is divided into the 

action area, occupying the top 

two thirds, and a status area 

containing the vital statistics of 

each gnome. Here you'll see an 

receiver on the field, you still 

have to follow very 

accurately — the instruction for 

each "play" you choose. Other• 

wise you and up getting 

nowhere fast. 

Each play requires you to take 

a certain number of "steps" in 

certain directicins — indicated at 

the bottom of the-screen by 

arrow icons and explained at 

length in the instructions. 

You can pick the game up and 

play if you want — but you 

could end up being ultimately 

frustrated, unless you're an 

America Football expert 

already, 

On the tape version there's a 

lono and boring set up section 

during which you choose the 

teams you want to play each 

others or if you want a one or 

two player game. Once you've 

decided, you have to wait again 

as the main game loads in. 

You can select how long you 

want the game to last as well — 

my advice is to go for short 

quarters to start with. 

Then it's time to ram your 

helmet over your ears and 

prepare to get battered. The 

screen swaps from the playing 

field screen where all the action 

takes place to the menu screen 

inventory, energy meter, and 

your current score. 

With a neat loading screen, a 

concurrent two player option, 

choice of characters in the one 

player version, reasonable 

sound effects, and very 

responsive joystick or keyboar 

controls, Stryte is a good bet 

you fancy a Gauntlet-like be 

with the emphasis very muc 

on thapashing I 

where you choose your next 

play and see how the 

opposition defeated your last 

match winning move., • 

Score a touchdown and the 

crowd cheers — (left there aren't 

any cute cheerleaders jumping 

up and down to spur your team 

on to further glory. 

' At the end of the game ybu 

see a scoreboard — that's it. No 

victory march or any other 

celebration. A bit disappointing 

this. 

And the instructions say you 

can set up again by simply 

hitting the RESTORE key which 

will restart the game. Not on my 

copy it didn't and I was sorely 

tempted not to bother to reload 

it! 

GFL Championship Football 

is a nice try which doesn't quite 

come oft— it lacks the essential 

action Ingredient vital for this 

sort of game. So far none of III. 

US Football Games have 

managed to capture the REAL 

spirit of the game — like the 

10-,Yard Fight coi 

instance.

There can't be many games Aro 

wound to feature a woman as 

th° main character, Well, Durell 

has broken this sex barrier with 

Saboteur!! —Avenging Angel. 

It's a pity the game is not better. 

As a sequel it's not as good as 

the highly enjoyable Saboteur, 

The plot of the first game had 

the Ninja breaking Into a 

dicator's central security 

building then stealing a 

computer diek which contained 

the names of rebel leaders. 

And information about his 

deadly missile silo. 

I n Avengr'ng Angel you play 

the role of the Ninja's beautiful 

sister. She must hang-glide Into 

the dictator's new command 

centre and office complex on 

top of a mountain which is also 

filled with underground tunnels 

and caverns. The game sprawls 

over 700 screens. 

She must search for pieces of 

punched computer tape that 

control the missile flight paths, 

redirect the missiles before 

blast off and then escape by 

motorbike via the complex's 

one and only exit. 

Most of the screen is taken up 

with the playing area display. 

Objects which you are near — 

such as a spanner or word — 

are displayed. You can take the 

object which is then displayed 

in another box. Some objects 

are show as a question mark. 

There's also a timer which ticks 

off the vital moments before the 

missile launch. There's also a 

"pay display" which shows the 

Ninja's earnings. These go up 

as you collect pieces of tape or 

successfully defeat the baddies 

wandering around the complex. 

Your energy level is 

represented as a red bar.

sky on a hang-glider moving 

high above the complex. Hitting 

the fire button will release you 

and than it's a long drop down 

onto the complex. Judging the 

right moment is a bit tricky. 

Some drops are longer than 

others. Sometimes you can fall 

for ages and when you 

eventually hit the ground your 

energy drops alarmingly and 

you'll be in no state to fight off 

any guards. 

Once down all you have is a 

small map outline of the 

complex. So you're not entirely 

clueless but a more detailed 

map will be essential. The 

whole place is patrolled by 

guards and pumas. The guards 

have knives and flame 

throwers. The cassette notes 

also mention vampire bats,-but I 

didn't see any of these. 

Fighting is typical stuff, all 

leaps, kicks and punches. Quite 

frankly, it's all very tame stuff 

and not particularly exciting. 

After the first Saboteur this 

game is dull, Avenging Angel?

Is this the latest Stephen King 

novel or a set of game 

instructions? There's enough 

reading in the blurb for The Wiz 

to last you a week well, a 

couple of days anyway. 

And yes, you just HAVE to 

read it this time. There's no way 

you'll get away with sitting 

down and playing the game 

straight off— you'll end up 

going nowhere fast. 

That's the bad news. Once 

you mastered the instructions 

you can go on and master the 

game. Which isn't half bad 

really. At first glance it looks like 

yet another Gauntlet clone — 

your little Wiz whizzes around 

zapping creatures, zombies and 

anything else that wants to stop 

him completing his task — 

which is? Just read on 

As every day passes, more 

and more evil burst through 

from the dark side. It seems 

obvious to you, a mere first 

level wizard, that the long 

forewarned meeting of the 

worlds is imminent. On the 

Magical Isle, where in places 

the worlds of light and dark 

touch, the manifestations of evil 

are reaching epidemic 

proportions. 

The Council of Wizards are 

reluctant to act. They see no 

way of preventing the disaster 

other than destroying the 

ancient links between worlds. In 

doing so they would lose much 

of their magic as two of the four 

runes from which spells are 

prepared can only be found in 

the world of darkness. 

Despairing at their greed for 

magic, you resolve to act alone. 

You must become a powerful 

fifth level wizard, acquire the 

spell you need to break the links 

and separate the two worlds 

forever. 

The council has already learnt 

of your quest and seek to 

prevent you completing it. By 

their own rules they are barred 

r 

- 

from , interfering with the 

magical - advancement of a 

wizard. 1 Consequently, no 

wizard 1 can refuse to teach you 

spells - of your magical level 

v 

unless you have been openly 

hostile 1 towards him. 

- 

Despite this, they have other 

1 

means of obstructing you. Your 

- 

shielding against attack, 

1 

normally maintained for lower 

- 

level cwizards 

by the fifth level 

masters, has been removed. 

l 

As • a result, you are now 

vunerable - to the power draining 

attacks , of evil beings. 

As if this were not enough, it 

is rumoured that Tracer has 

been summoned and, should 

you stay in one place for long, it 

will find you and come through 

from the dark side. Once in this 

world, it will pursue you 

relentlessly. 

You start the game and you 

will see your wizard in the 

centre of playing area. At the 

top right of screen there is a 

scroll containing your current 

score, magical power and 

wizard level. 

At the bottom right of the 

screen there Is a spell book 

open at the "Zap 1" spell 

description. 

Wiz operates in four modes: 

Move and cast, Prepare Spell, 

Read Spell Book, Buy Spell. 

Move and cast mode: 

This is represented by a Red 

Medallion. As you move, an 

arrow will show you your 

direction on the medallion. By 

pressing fire or space you cast

the last selected spell. Beware 

though, as colliding with evil 

beings drains your power. 

Every time you cast a spell you 

use up one unit of magical 

power. If you run out of power 

you die! 

Prepare spell mode: 

To move into this mode from 

Move and Cast press the space 

bar. You will now notice that the 

medallion has changed. It is 

now blue and has runes in place 

of direction arrows. 

To select a rune, move the 

joystick toward the desired 

rune. Spells are prepared by 

selecting the rune in the 

correct sequence and then 

pressing fire. 

As you select each rune it 

appears in the scroll above the 

medallion and the appropriate 

rune level goes down. 

When you press fire the spell 

book will display the details of 

the spell you just prepared. 

Spells can Only be cast by 

pressing fire when in move and 

cast mode. 

Read spell book mode: 

Once entering this mode from 

Prepare Spell mode you will 

notice that the medallion has 

again changed. 

It is now grey with only three 

directions marked. By moving 

the joystick left and right you 

can read through the spell book 

which contains all the spells 

you have learnt so far, plus the 

ones you started off with. 

Wiz only lets you prepare 

spells currently in the book.

Y 

li 

s 

al 

Buy spell mode: 

The medallion changes again. It 

is now purple with up to four 

different symbols. 

If a wizard is on the screen 

when you enter this mode, the 

medallion shows the symbols 

of the spells he is qualified to 

teach. 

There may be up to three. 

You can preview these spells 

buy selecting the appropriate 

direction. Press fire and you will 

try to buy the highlighted spell. 

Note that the "Up" option 

means "buy no spell" and will 

take you back into move and 

cast. 

A preview appears in the spell 

book and normally shows the 

name of the spell the symbol for 

the spell; the amount of 

magical power you will use up 

learning the spell, and wizard 

level you must attain before 

trying. 

Attempting to buy a spell for 

which you do not have enough 

power will kill your Or failure to 

buy the spell is indicated by the 

spell book page becoming 

blank. 

Keep an eye on your score 

everytime you try something 

new and you will soon learn the 

best way to achieve a high 

score. 

However, getting a high score 

isn't just a matter of personal 

pride, it is the way to higher 

wizard levels. 

Lots to do as you can see — 

so the lastabilitv of this game is 

guaranteed. Playability? Well, I 

have to say that I found it 

difficult to get to grips with the 

game to start with. 

But spend a bit of time on Wiz 

and you'll be rewarded with an 

entertaining arcade adventure.

111:5 Duren part, seven has converted level arcade this oddity three 

question is why? Having 

previously failed to set the 

world on fire with Spectrum 

and Commodore versions of 

Sigma 7. And considering the 

current miserable climate for 

Amstrad games, one wonders 

whether it was worth it. 

The game itself draws on 

Zaxxon for part one. Pacman in 

part two, and Bobby Bearing to 

round off proceedings in part 

three. Unfortunately, at no 

stage, does Sigma 7 recapture 

the graphical or entertainment 

excellence achieved by these 

games. 

From a technical perspective, 

the conversion is at best 

average, resulting in clumsy 

screen handling and frustrating 

gameplay, especially in part 

one. At a price of £7.95, this is 

the kind of full priced title that 

must make Mastertronic rub 

their hands with glee. Unless 

you've got good reason, give 

this one a miss.

Turkey Tim steps into the ring 

to face his third fighter in his bid 

to become the champion. 

Turkey Tim is facing Hu Him 

ranked number two. The bell 

rings and both fighters come to 

the middle of the ring with fists 

flying. TT lands the first 

punches but Hu Him blocks and 

counters with a bout of vicious 

blows followed up with a flying 

kick that finishes IT off. TT's 

challenge to become champ 

has ended and now it's your 

turn. 

Fight Night has to be the best 

boxing game around that I 

know of. I normally dislike 

games based on this type of 

subject but this is the only 

exception. The way the 

computer controlled boxer 

performs his special move is 

quite humorous, but if they land 

are very serious. Hu Him's 

speciality move is a flying drop 

kick to the stomach, but the 

others have different 

specialities which you can find 

out for yourself. 

Another thng that improves 

this game is that you can define 

your own boxer and then train 

him to build his muscles up. 

The construction of a boxer is 

very simple and easy to follow, 

when you are happy with the 

boxer it can be saved to disc but 

not to cassette. An option for 

sparring is also included so you 

can try out your boxer in the 

ring without losing any moral. 

The disc version also includes 

an option for tournament play 

which allows for two boxers 

lhuman controlled) to pit their 

wits against each other in the 

ring. 

The graphics are very well 

defined, as is the sound with 

various tunes to be heard upon 

losing or winning. The sound of 

the boxer being hit is of the 

highest quality. The value of 

Fight Night increases if you are 

buying the disc version.

Robbbot Inc) that isn't a

three Bs) promises to have a 

"highly original scenaraio." 

What that means is that a 

space ship returning from a 

long voyage is running short of 

fuel and is forced to land on the 

planet lo because the on-board 

computer has detected energy 

resources. Using three 

"robbbots" you must get fuel 

back to the ship. 

If that's what a "highly 

original scenario" is, then the 

Ark is the most up-to-date form 

of transport around. 

Add to that a load of very silly 

names and you end up with a

can shoot down any nasty thing. 

With simple graphics, and

you'd be right.

▪ REVIEWER: TIM 

Brilliant! That's the only word to 

describe Hydro fool — the 

continuing adventures of 

Sweevo. 

There I was, bored of playing 

games. Yes, I have to admit it. 

You know how it is. You've had 

a day where nothing has gone 

right — your mum has found 

your favourite dodgy mag 

under the bed, Enduro Racer 

holds no more challenges and 

you keep getting wiped out on 

the first stage of Nemesis. 

Then, sneakily, along comes a 

:BRINING NOT MINED: 

game that takes you by surprise 

and keeps you up until the early 

hours, restoring your faith in 

the great games programmer in 

the sky. 

Hydro fool is one of these 

games. It's fun, terminally 

addictive and packed full of 

puzzles and jokes. If you 

thought Sweevo's World was 

the bees knees then you're 

going to go completely 0.T.T 

over Hydro fool. The plot? Do 

you really want one? OK, here it 

is. 

Sweevo. fresh from his 

success on his "world", returns 

to the Robo-Master only to be 

given another great job 

cleaning out the Deathbowl. 

Now, the Deathbowl is a giant 

planet-sized aquarium which 

has become so polluted and 

packed with mutant creatures 

that the only thing to do with it 

is pull the plug. Or rather plugs. 

Sweevo, armed with a deep 

sea diving suit, has to find the 

objects that will release the four 

plugs and empty the planet by 

placing them on pedestals in 

the "plug rooms". 

The oblects are scattered 

around 200 rooms over six 

levels. Some are guarded some 

aren't. But you'll have to work 

out just what to do with what, 

And its fun finding outl 

Sweevo can fight off the 

aquatic enemies using weapons 

he finds in the many cavernous 

rooms. I've worked out a few — 

harpoons get rid of baby whales 

:NOT DRINKING HIER 

(what about Greenpeace?1), 

spoons kill off jellyfish, while 

horseshoes wipe out, what else, 

Seahorses_ 

Other objects help — a bone 

lures nasty shoals of Sweevo 

nibbling fish away while he 

collects a gnome. Why a 

gnome? Who knows — a further 

exploration of the game should 

explain. 

You'll have to learn how to 

use air bubbles to take you from 

level to level, or simply help 

Sweevo overcome other 

obstacles. 

Ride the bubbles to find Out 

how high they'll take you. You'll 

soon discover where they take 

you. You'll also have to ride 

bubbles to reach certain objects 

tucked away in seemingly 

unreachable ledges in some of 

the rooms. 

Whirlpools transport Sweevo 

to lower levels. Some of them 

are sneakily placed just inside 

doors — so you end up being 

sucked down even if you don't 

want to gol 

Sweevo can collect anti-rust 

oil to keep his suit going in the 

polluted waters. It rusts as soon 

as you enter the water. Run out 

of oil and it's back to the surface 

again. 

Clues and jokes appear in 

message windows at the 

bottom left hand side of the 

screen — which is similar in 

layout to Sweevo's Worid. 

You can start the game from 

any one of four different 

RII5TEMETERcei 

locations— but can anyone tell 

me why they are all named after 

Elvis Presley songs? Return to 

Sender, Jail House Rock. 0 Sole 

0 Mio and Heartbreak Hotel — 

is this another subtle Greg Follis 

plan? Answers on a postcard 

please! 

The excellent music yes, 

even on a Spectrum — comes 

from none other than Rob 

Hubbard— and is more than 

lust a collection of beeps and 

burps. Graphics are— as you'd 

expect from Gargoyle— pretty 

neat. I particularly like the baby 

whale. 

Overall. Hydrofool is the most 

fun you'll have with your 

Spectrum this summer — 

probably this year. The best 

game on the Amstrad since 

Batman. If you thought the 

arcade adventure was dead, 

think again and think about 

raiding your piggy bank to 

collect the cash for your very 

own copy of Hydro fool. Don't 

miss this one. 

Stop press, Just discovered 

that harpoons kill of the 'orrible 

Wolf Fish and that the Amstrad 

version is just as addictive as 

the Spectrum game. And as an 

extra added tip look "inside" 

the pedestals in the plug room 

for a clue to the objects you 

need.

Question: What is the name of 

the game in which you zoom off 

into the depths of space, trading 

with aliens, buying food, fuel 

and dodging the interplanetary 

police? Answer: Enterprise. 

That fooled you. Hands up

everybody who said Elite. 

Thought so. Well you would be 

forgiven for Enterprise is 

unbelievably like the classic 

Elite. If I were unkind I'd say 

these games could be identical 

twins. 

In Enterprise you play the part 

of an entrepreneur or. to put it 

more accurately, a crook. 

Having decided to set 

yourself up as Interplanetary 

Merchant Pilot you find you 

haven't got the readdies to buy 

a space ship. So you whip one 

which displeases the law and 

means you're in for a stiff 

prison sentence if you stick 

around. Then it's off to deep 

space with the aim of earning 

enough money to retire to the 

Paradise Planet. 

You do this by collecting 

minerals and selling them to 

anyone who's fool — or 

desperate — enough to buy 

them. 

As well as selling to them, 

you can buy food, fuel, and 

insurance from the traders and 

get your ship repaired. Some 

traders are more friendly and 

more honest than others. The 

price you receive depends not 

only upon the state of the 

economy, but also the rarity of 

the minerals on that particulary

planet. Most traders offer 

discount on bulk items and be 

careful not to lose your noclaims 

bonus on the insurance. 

Despite receiving interest on 

your money from the "Ron Nice 

Guy" credit agency the amount 

of money required to retire rises 

incessantly with inflation. 

You also have an Inventory 

which provides you with all the 

information about your current 

status, bank balance, retirement 

target, insurance cover. 

insurance premium, food 

supplies,and amount and type 

of minerals carried in the cargo 

bay. 

A damage report gives the 

staus of all the ships primary 

equipment. Engines, boosters, 

fuselage, landing gear, photon 

shield, cargo bay door, food 

storage system and braking 

system. 

Damage may be done to the 

ship either by collision with 

minerals police ship or during 

entry into the atmosphere. 

Damage to the engines or 

boosters will cause them to run 

less efficiently, using more fuel 

until their eventual failure. 

To claim on your insurance 

policy you must first take out a 

policy from one of the aliens. 

The price is based on the status 

launched if not sooner. Bali 

Breaker is one such game. 

Essentially, Bali Breaker is ED 

Breakout turned on its side. The 

action takes place in a metal 

panelled room. 

All the blocks, pyramids, 

spheres, diamonds etc, to be 

destroyed, are ranged along the 

left-hand wall, although these 

sometimes encroach right up to 

the opposite wall of the room 

along which you move your bat, 

which looks like a multicoloured 

Liquorice Alison. 

Level one is quite easy as all 

the blocks are arranged in a 

wall, quite a way back from 

your bat. Any block hit by the 

ball immediately explodes, 

creating a hole in the wall which 

is immediately filled by any 

blocks from above which drop 

down to fill the gap. 

As you progress through the 

same you'll come across many 

different blocks and objects, all 

with differing properties. Some 

speed the ball up, while others 

cause it to bounce off the walk. 

From level two onwards. Things 

get much more frantic with 

funny animals perching on 

pedestals, ready to surge 

forward and distintegrate your 

bat. 

of the items being insured and 

the economy of the planet you 

buy it from. If you issue a 

subsequence claim on your 

policy then the item claimed 

upon (Ship, Food, Fuel) will be 

returned to the condition it was 

in when the policy was formed. 

Moving the cursor with the 

Joystick onto any of the palnets 

shown on the sreen that are 

within your hyperjump range. 

Press fire on planet to see the 

characteristics of that planet 

and set the hyperjump 

coordinates, fire to return to 

map. 

When trading with alien you 

may say anything you wish. 

They usually enjoy idle chat and 

the less helpful of them often 

try to digress, but by chatting to 

them it is possible to ascertain 

more about their general 

character and lifestyle which 

will be useful to you in future. 

A dictionary definition of 

Enterprise includes the 

following phrases "daring 

spirit" and "a bold attempt." 

Neither fit this Enterprise. Its 

directly from the clone zone. 

Missiles will also destroy any 

blocks on the screen, but should 

only be used in moments of 

acute embarassement, because 

your stock will soon run dry. 

The number of missiles 

remaining is shown in an 

extremely flash, but almost 

totally useless, status area. 

Although the design of the 

graphics in Bail Breaker are 

extremely good, the gameplay 

is positively awful. The 

movement of your bat is slowed 

down by other things 

happening on the screen. 

Add to this the difficulty of 

judging where your bat is in 

relation to the ball, the total 

absence of any instructions, 

and a level so difficult that 

many players may never get 

past it, and you've got a recipe 

for disaster! 

Although graphically and 

musically stunning, and a brave 

innovative idea, Bait Braker falls 

heavily at the last hurdle 

because it simply isn't playable 

compared with the Arkanoid 

and Krakout.

REVIEWED: 

Now this is the mission. It is 

2187 and your name is Rhett 

Dexter (sorry about that). An 

anomaly has appeared in the 

Alpha Centuri sector, a hole 

through which come invasion 

craft from another dimension. 

The only way to close the hole 

is with nine of the one hundred 

pieces of the warp field 

generator hidden by the old 

0 I 

ones throughout the universe. 

You steal a new interstellar 

fighter and take off for the stars 

t 

Basically, Dogfight 2187 is 

another space shoot-'em-up. At 

each screen the player has to 

shoot down all the "invasion 

craft" in the sector, which gains 

him one piece of generator. In 

some sectors he also gets the 

chance to refuel in the "rotating 

vector graphic squares" of a 

nearby planet. He can then 

warp into the next sector to take 

on the next set of invaders, 

eventually corning to the sector 

containing the hole, which he 

plugs with his piece of 

generator and goes back for 

more. All this is run by a thirtyminute 

real-time clock, which is 

the time he has to complete the 

mission. 

il 

The graphics are 

As 

o 

in 

& 

Aci 

disappointing, the enemy 

fighters being only shown in 

wire-frame, and the planets as a 

series of concentric squares. 

Anyone who is not a very fast 

shot will also find themselves 

running out of fuel and 

ammunition long before they 

can find a planet, The 

instruction booklet (in four 

languages) is no help at all in 

discovering how to prevent this. 

The big appeal of the game is 

that it offers two side-by-side 

cockpit displays, and can be 

played three-handed: by one 

player against the computer, 

two players against each other, 

or two players against the 

computer.

Trust Binary Vision to come up 

with something different. Well, 

they had to go some to follow 

Zoids didn't they. 

Well, Stifflip isn't Zoids U 

it does 

. b u 

use 

t 

some of the neat 

"windowmation" that you 

came to know and love after 

playing that first classic game. 

Stifflip is very clever and very 

playable. 

If you read our preview a 

couple of issues back you'll 

know that the Binary 

programmers delved back into 

the Boy's Own adventure style 

stories to bring you an icon 

driven graphic adventure 

featuring dastardly deeds in a 

banana republic. 

The screen is set up like a 

comic book page the pictures 

are drawn cartoon 

style and you get two 

panels of 

action per 

"page". 

As you move 

through the game the 

"pages" flip. A really nice 

effect. 

You can control any one of 

four main characters, but you'll 

encounter other helpful or 

unhelpful people as you travel 

40 

through the adventure. Like 

Zoids, your actions are 

controlled from a series of icons 

and menus. 

The first of these icons is as 

Chinwag, the second is the 

Fisticuf% icon, the third is 

Beetle-off, the fourth is Do 

One's Stuff, the fifth is State of 

Play and the sixth is Change 

Batter, All pretty easy to 

understand. 

On the right hand side of the 

screen shot you will see these 

icons showing three different 

characters. The top character 

who has the eyepatch is Colonel 

R.G, Bargie, the second is 

Professor Braindeath and the 

third is Miss Palymra 

Prim bottom 

The first character you get to 

control is Viscount Stifflip 

himself. Look at our screen 

shot. 

The fact that he is next to the 

character in the 

immediate past 

means one of 

two 

things. Either 

he moved away 

very quickly by 

selecting the Beetle-off area, or 

Stifflip beat him in a fight. If 

Stifflip were to talk to this 

character, the sort of thing he 

would say would be "Now look 

here my good man", 

whereupon Stiff lip would be 

attacked. 

In the other illustration 

Stifflip is seen with a barman. If 

Stifflip was to talk to this 

character he would be likely to 

say something on the lines of 

"Nice bar you have here." 

The four characters each have 

a role to play in the adventure 

so you won't be able to 

complete it unless you keep 

them all fit and well. Each 

carries things which come in 

useful— but you might have to 

swap them around in certain 

circumstances to achieve the 

desired effect. 

Read the speech bubbles and 

examine each "page" carefully 

for clues to the riddles which 

open up areas of the adventure 

to further perusal. 

There's plenty of humour — 

you may not laugh out loud but 

you'll definitely snigger to 

yourself. 

And if you 

manage to 

defeat the 

evil Count 

Chameleon you're a 

better player than met 

The only real "arcade" 

sequence in the game is 

Fisticuffs which is a bit like 

the attack sequence in Zolds. 

You have to line up an icon on a 

revolving target and hit the fire 

button to biff your opponent. 

You can hit "below the belt" but 

this will affect the final 

outcome. 

Stifflip might not get the 

audience it deserves because its 

a sort of in-between game. In 

between an adventure, an 

arcade adventure, a bit like 

Redhawk in fact. 

But if you're a games player 

desperate for something 

different then take a look at 

Stiftlip. If you're already a 

Binary Vision fan, you 

won't want to miss this. Like 

me, you'll enjoy it a lot. Oh yes, 

there've some great tunes tool 

It's up to you to work out 

when and on whom to use 

physical force. It doesn't always 

work to your advantage.

Down in little Dullford. trouble 

is brewing. The two wizertts.

can't riecide who is the tee wiz. 

So, like all good wizards', the've 

stopped speaking to each other, 

and started trying to zap each 

other instead_ Now nobody is 

safe, as the two bumbling 

wizards prowf the village, doing 

their hardest to fry each other. 

You have total of 12 spells 

-. 

at your disposal, but to cast 

them, you must collect the two 

herbs that each one requires. 

The herbs are grown mainly in 

Heike's herb garden, but watch 

out. Heike doesn't take too 

kindly to you pinching his 

herbs, and he chases you 

doggedly, bringing your energy 

down whenever he touches 

you. He doesn't seem to notice 

old Leanoric, though, which 

seems a bit unfair to me. 

Once you have your herbs, 

you mix them in your cauldron, 

and than take off after Leanoric, 

following your compass, which 

always points towards him. It is 

best to mix more offensive 

spells, such as fireball and 

lightning bolts, because these 

can be used more than once, 

and very often, your shots go 

wide.

Well, I was completely and 

utterly addicted to the arcade 

version of this, and so when I 

saw the advertisement for 

Mario Bros a few months ago, I 

couldn't wait for it to arrive. 

Well it has, and I must say I 

was rather disappointed by it. 

Don't get me wrong, it is about 

as close to the original as is 

possible with the limitations of 

the machine, but for some 

inexplicable reason, it just 

doesn't seem to have the same 

'grab-you-by-the-throat' 

compulsiveness of the arcade 

original. 

Anyway, putting that aside 

for the moment, here's the plot. 

Bonjourno. My name issa 

Mario, And dis is ma brother, 

Luigi. We work in a disk factory, 

which has a very slippy floors, 

and issa inhabited by lotsa 

nasty creatures. We also have a 

very hard heads, which we can 

use to bend da Platforms, and 

knock thesea rotten animals 

onto their backs, where we 

can boot them toa kingdom 

come I 

Right, you can now read in 

English. All the features of the 

original are there, sidestepper, 

shellcreeper, etc, as is the two 

player mode, either working 

together as a team, or against 

each other. The graphics are 

fairly close copies of the 

original, as is the sound, which 

is why I cannot understand why 

this isn't half as much fun as the 

arcade version. For some 

reason, the comic style humour 

isn't there any more, which is 

probably why some of the 

magic has been lost. 

Overall, it's not a bad game, 

and it could just be that I was 

expecting too much of Ocean to 

capture the spirit of the game I 

was so addicted to in the 

arcades. Try before you buy is 

the rule with this one I'm afraid. 

It is good, but you might just be 

a little bit dissapointed.

Right, lads, chest out, stomach 

in, you're in the army now. The 

going's gonna get rough and 

tough. Only the fit will survive a 

battle with Army Moves. 

C+VG has deployed its 

resources in force to battle it Out 

with Dinamic Software's game 

for Imagine. 

Brian "Take No Prisoners" 

Webber became involved with 

fierce fighting which lasted 

days on the Commodore 64. 

Paul "Shoot to kill" Boughton 

launched a full frontal assault 

on the Spectrum version. 

Here's Brian's report from the 

war zone. 

WOW! This is greatl Army 

Moves is the one game I've 

played every single day, for at 

least an hour, since the copy 

arrived on my desk. 

The game is split into seven 

sections, and comes in two 

loads, the second. I assume, 

is after level four because I 

haven't got passed that yet!

Special Operations Corp, which 

has been picked to go into the 

enemy's camp, to retrieve some 

vital information, that could 

turn the coflict around. To get 

there you must negotiate many 

hazards, such as crossing 

jungles and deserts. 

The first, four sections are 

basically scrolling shoot 'em 

ups, in the same vein as Moon 

Buggy except that you drive 

jeeps and helicopters. Level five 

onwards is then on foot, trying 

to get the plans, and get back to 

the barracks. 

That is basically it. A fairly run 

of the mill storyline, and in 

some respects, a fairly run of 

the mill game, but for some 

inexplicable reason, I am totally 

addicted to this. Yes readers, 

me, the one who hates this type 

of shoot 'em up. 

The graphics, which although 

are not mega brilliant, do their 

job well, and from what I've 

seen of them are well above 

average. 

Soundwise, again, this is 

above average, with a brilliant 

rendition of 'Colonel Bogey' 

that would put the original 

Montry Mole game to shame. 

For the first few games it

might tend to be off putting, but I 

found I couldn't play without it. 

When you've completed the 

first section, you are given a 

code to enter, that allows you to 

load the next part. So send your 

codes to IDEAS Central at the 

usual address. 

Overall, this has to be about 

the best piece of software I've 

used in months, and at the 

price it's a steal. Miss it at your 

Peril! 

Now for Paul's frontline 

fighting facts.

REVIEWER; PAUL 

This review originally consisted 

of just four words: "Go and buy 

Stormbringer." That's all there 

is to it really. But a large 

expanse of white space looks a 

bit odd. 

Stormbringer is the final 

game in David Jones' 

wonderful series of Magic 

Knight games. Remember 

Spellbound and Knight Tyme? 

At the end of Knight Tyme 

Magic Knight had encountered 

a problem or two with an 

unreliable time machine while 

trying to get back to his own 

era. 

He was split into two people. 

Now there's Magic Knight and 

the Off-White Knight, or as he is 

also known, StormbrThger. 

Stormbronger is the opposite 

of good. That means he's bad. 

Very bad. He gets his name 

from the very powerful storm 

cloud he can conjour up and 

with which he intends to 

destroy the good guy. 

You can't destroy 

Stormbringer because that 

would mean you would destroy 

yourself. Clever, eh? What you 

version seems pretty much the 

same. 

The graphics are pretty naff 

but that doesn't really matter, 

Army Moves is strangely 

playable. 

It's hellishly difficult to get 

going. Your jeep approaches a 

whole in the bridge which it 

must leap. You can slow the 

vehicle down but you can't stop 

it. Just when you're faced with 

no choice but to jump the gap 

Or plunge into oblivion, you see 

an enemy jeep heading towards 

you, or helicopters heading 

down to zap you. 

Army Moves is nothing if not 

annoyingly addictive. I kept 

saying "I'll give it one more 

go." You know how it is? Thirty 

goes later you're still willing to 

give it a go.

have to do is merge with him. 

Once again David has used 

what he calls Windirnation as a 

means of giving the player 

command choices. That means 

a series of windows open on the 

screen, each with its own 

information, commands etc. It's 

the same system he used in 

the other two games to great 

effect. 

Magic Knight is controlled by 

joystick as usual. He moves 

back and forth aga:nst a series 

of backgrounds (great 

graphics). Picking up objects 

talking to characters and 

avoiding this annoying little 

cloud which zaps a harmful 

lightning bolt at you. 

There are 56 locations to 

explore i on the 48K version and 

64 on the 128K version. 

If you played any of the 

previous games you'll need no 

urging to go and buy 

Stormbringer. It's got great 

graphics, sound, fiendish 

problems and great game play. 

And at £2.99 you can afford not 

to miss out. This is how all 

budget games should be.

s 

claim that Arcadia is 

wbasically 

the same game as their 

Earthwood, so much so that ii 

i 

infringes K.J.C.'s copyright. Legal 

t 

steps were taken by K.J,C. to stop

Jade running Arcadia and the

a Let this serve as a warning to all

VO readers who are thinking 

y of starting up their own PBM 

rgame. 

If your idea is not unique, 

think twice about launching it. 

e 

You could find yourself in big 

gtrouble.

that Jade has quickly

C-i-VG), 

a 

All ex-Arcadia players have

recommend Shattered Worlds and 

would advise all es-Arcadians to 

give it a go. 

• Gameplan. the computer 

moderated American football 

PBM run by Sloth Enterprises, has 

now finished its playtest stage and 

has been officially launched. To 

date, I've yet to win a game 

against the computer, however 

now the playtest has finished all 

future opponents will be human, 

so all in all things should be easier 

(fingers crossed!). Overall the 

game looks fun and I can tell you 

that all American football fans will 

love it, 

• For a limited period anyone who 

writes into the mag about PBM. to 

enquire about PBM in general or 

to take up one of my offers, will be 

sent full details of a random PBM 

game. I am passing the names of 

all correspondents on to certain 

PBM companies, who will, free of 

charge, send you details of their 

games. Please note, if you don't 

want to receive the details state so

them down or put them on hold, 

as I play about 15 games already 

and I just can't cope with any 

more! Therefore. I'm asking YOU 

to review the games for me. 

You will play the game, 90% of 

the time for nothing. and it will be 

your job to do all you can to 

stretch the game to its limits, 

trying to find faults or sticky 

patches in the games. 

You will also have to write into 

me once a month and let me know 

what you think of the game overall 

and tell me what you have or 

haven't done in the confines of the 

game. 

The games can be anything Irom 

single character fantasy games to 

computerised mass wargames. 

There are even sports orientated 

PBMs. 

So how do you get a reviewing 

position? Simply write to me, care 

of Cir VG. and tell me what type 

of game you would like to review 

and why I should choose YOU to 

review it. 

Then, once a month I will select 

the people who have convinced 

me that they should review a game 

and set them up as a playtester. I 

don't intend to keep a waiting list, 

so it will be up to you to write in 

each month if you are not selected 

first time. 

Review: Aegyptus. 

• Aegyptus is a computer 

moderated tribal PBM run by 

N.A.B. Software. It is based in 

ancient times on a society which is 

not too different from the ancient 

Egypt we have all read and seen 

films about. 

The play of the game is 

governed by a yearly cycle with six 

moves a year. Each move 

represents two months of the year. 

Certain actions like farming, 

herding and collecting taxes may 

only be performed in certain 

months. 

You play the leader of a tribe of 

people with two main aims — to 

survive economic hardship and 

grasp political power. 

Your tribe may be any one of 

seven political types: Herding 

Tribe, Nomadic Clan, Nomadic 

Nation, Farming Tribe, City State. 

Republic or Empire. 

A player starts the game as a 

herding tribe and — if they wish — 

progress up the hierachy of 

political organisations. Your 

political organisation affects how 

many people you control, what 

they may be, troop types allowed 

and how much territory you can 

control. 

You create your tribe by 

selecting up to three types of craft 

workers and four types of animal. 

This part of the game is crucial and 

you should put a great deal of time 

and effort into considering who to 

pick as your workers, as it could 

prove disasterous if you got the 

wrong combination of the workers 

and animals. 

Depending on the number and 

type of craft workers you have 

created, you then decide on the 

numbers of troops, slaves, 

weapons and armour you are 

entitled to. 

Once you have sent this info off, 

you then receive your order sheet 

and it is up to you to try and 

become top player in the tribes in 

your category. You do this by 

issuing various computer orders 

on your order sheet. Some 

examples of orders are: 

Build: This order can be used to 

construct roads, bridges and 

irrigation, dependent on your 

supplies and money. 

Go: This order is used to move 

Your tribe or an expedition force. 

You can head in either any of the 

four major points of the compass 

and you also get the option to 

cross or follow seas and rivers, as 

well as move in an aggressive 

mode. 

Pursue: You may wish to chase an 

army controlled by another 

player. By issuing this order your 

troops will chase after another 

army until they have caught up 

with them or cannot pursue them 

any longer due to various reasons. 

like fatigue or impassable terrain 

for example. 

The combat system is very 

realistic. You don't get any of the 

usual "You run into an army so 

you engage them in battle 

- A battle here!! may only result when 

forces belonging to different 

players end in the same square and 

each player has indicated the 

desire to tight. 

Players will be told if and who 

they arc fighting. If involved in a 

battle you will be sent a battle 

set-up form to complete and 

submit with your next turn. This is 

treated as the first action of your 

next orders. 

This means, that like real war, 

you plan the coming action 

without knowing the result of the 

battle. When you enter a battle 

situation you have quite a few 

orders to choose from, which 

include retreating before the 

battle to all out pursuit. 

Your troops can be anything 

from the common Velite or 

Archer to the tactical and well 

equipped Legionaire. 

The main reason why the 

combat system is so realistic is 

because fighting battles only 

occurs when you've declared a 

tribe your enemy and NOT just 

when you run into them. 

There is a system in the game 

that gives you the chance to 

declare whether the tribe you have 

run into is either an offensive ally. 

defensive ally. Neutral or enemy. 

You must negotiate with each 

player to decide which is which. 

All players are deemed neutral 

to each other at the start of the 

game, until specified otherwise. 

Aegyptus is not an open ended 

game. When a certain number of 

settlements are reached and 

controlled the game will end and 

the winners will be announced. 

One winner will he judged for 

each level of political 

organisation. Victory is judged on 

various factors, the size and 

quality of armies, economic assets 

and holdings. to name but a few. 

Wayne's verdict 

N.A.B. Software has taken a 

brave gamble importing Ageyptuc

in from the USA. where it is a 

smash hit PBM game. They have 

been running quality PBM's in the 

UK since 1985 and Agevprus is 

their biggest commercial release to 

date. Each game can 

accommodate up to 150 players 

and the world is mapped over 100 

by 100 squares. 

There arc other points of the 

game that I haven't the space to 

comment upon in depth, hut you 

can get involved in naval combat. 

encounter sea monsters, harvest 

food, mine, create weapons and 

lumber forest. 

The game is undoubtedly a good 

one, it oozes quality and style. It 

presents a comprehensive portrait 

of ancient times. 

The rule book, which is well 

produced and nicely set takes you 

through the game step by step. I 

also like the concept of this game. 

It is a social/economic/financial 

strategy based game, with the 

warfare option included if you 

need it. 

It is not a "hack and slash" basic 

wargame. A lot of time. effort and 

pre-planning has to go into issuing 

your orders. You also have to 

contact a lot of other players to 

ensure that you enjoy the game to 

the full. 

I would not recommend this 

game to a novice or beginner as 

they would find it too difficult. 

However. if you have played a few 

PBMs and are looking for a new 

challenge, then give it a try. It is 

easy to lead an army into battle. 

hut could you ensure that battle 

gives you the foundations of an 

empire? Ageyptus gives you that 

chance to find out. 

"Ille price for the rule book and 

set up package in Ageyptus is £7 

however the prices for playing 

vary according to the political 

power you play. They are, per set 

of orders: Herding Tribe, £2.00. 

Fanning Tribe £150. Nomadic 

Clan £175. City State. £3.00, 

Nomadic Nation, 5.3.00, Republic, 

0.50, Empire. £4.00. 

Hints 

• You should compete with only 

the players who have chosen the 

same political structure as you. 

• Don't antagonise players with 

different aims: it is a waste of 

valuable resources. 

• Fight battles when you need too 

and not because you want to. If 

you go around fighting all the time 

you won't last very long!! 

• Keep in mind that although 

each turn represents two months 

real time, it is possible to make a 

scientific breakthrough which will 

in game turns bring your nations 

historical development up by tens 

or even hundreds of years. 

• Contact other players and form 

alliances. This will help you 

survive longer in the game.

• I have also been inundated with 

letters from players all over the 

world who have complained that 

my system of allowing the first ten 

players who write in to win a prize 

is unfair on players who live 

abroad, as they receive their 

copies of C+VG later than all the 

British readers and also the post 

takes a longer period of time to get 

to Priory Court if sent from 

abroad. 

Well the foreign readers will be 

relieved to know that I agree with 

them, and from this issue onwards 

the people who win prizes in my 

competitions will be the first ten 

people drawn out of the hat when 

all the entries have been received. 

O. K.'? 

• Brian Stewart of Bethnal 

Green. London writes in and asks 

what sort of things PBM games 

cover. Well Brian, you can play 

almost anything by mail!! 

Apart from the very popular, 

single character fantasy 

role- playing games 

and computer 

moderated 

v,•argames 

which I have already covered in 

other issues, there are also the 

following types of games: 

Financial/strategy/economic 

games: Here you have to try and 

either run a country or a nation by 

either warfare or economic means. 

You have to make your nation 

produce certain goods and items 

as well as keep the workers happy 

by paying their wages and feeding 

them. 

Sporting games: I know of postal 

games for American Football, 

Soccer. Cricket and. believe it or 

not Boxing!! 

World Domination Games: These 

games arc usually set in the 

present or slightly in the future 

and you play a country and the 

idea is to be the first player to 

build a nukc and drop it on your 

neighbout! Economics play an 

important part. but so does your 

convetional forces and the other 

player alliances that you build 

within the confines of the game. 

Unusual games I know of an 

attempt to postalisc a Colditz 

based game, where you have to 

escape from a German P.O.W. 

camp, an up and running 

Napolionic postal wargame based 

on Waterloo, a superhero's postal 

game, where you can play the 

equivilent of Batman or Wonder 

Woman, a PBM where you play a 

bootlegger in the prohibition era 

of America and I even know a 

game where you can play a 

character out of the sixteenth 

century and try and alter the 

future of the nation. 

• Finally, I would like to say hello 

to Joseph Cummings and all his 

friends at Redbank School.

D.A.: That's a timely 

question, because somebody 

found for me yesterday 

actually last year) two short 

stories which I had done 

when I was 12. They were 

published in a comic called 

The Eagle, which 1 used to 

read as a kid. I was even paid 

some ten shillings for each 

story_ Much later, I was in

respectively) John Cleese 

and Dudley Moore. But I did 

get a bit involved with 

Monty Python near the end 

of the series and a few bits of 

mine did make it on the air. 

C+ VG: Did you work with 

any of the Python guys? 

D.A.: Graham Chapman and 

I did a pilot for a comedy 

featuring Ringo Starr, but it 

never got anywhere. I also 

helped Graham write some 

of his autobiography, but 

mostly I watched him drink 

a lot of gin.

A.:Right. It was the 1978 

season of Doctor Who, with 

°in Baker as the Doctor. I 

did a number of scripts, like 

Pirate Planet and The city 

of Death. I was also the 

script editor the following 

year, and ghost-wrote a few 

more episodes. Doctor Who 

was a lot of fun. I mean, it

lighting for colour makes 

everything too bright and 

baldly realistic. 

C 4-VG: Where do most of 

your ideas come from? 

D.A.: Hitch-Hiker's was 

really my first major thing, 

so a lifetime of ideas hanging 

around in the back of my 

mind wanted out real bad, 

It's a matter of being open-

minded, of knowing what 

you want to do. At the time, I 

wanted to write a sciencefiction 

comedy. Some things 

happen to you that are 

perfect to add to paper as 

well. 

C +VG: So the famous, or 

infamous, towel liturgy 

comes from real life? 

D.A.: Yes indeed. I was 

vacationing with friends in 

Greecesome.years back. 

Everynuoting they'd have 

to sit around and wait for me 

because I couldn't find my 

blessed towel. It seemed to 

epitomise my disorganised 

state of being. I came to feel 

that someone really 

together, one who was well 

organised, would always 

know where his towel was. I 

thought of it as a Universal 

Truth. 

C +VG: Did you map out 

solutions to all the - 

problems Arthur would 

get into beforehand? 

D.A.: Not at all. Writing has 

to take the writer, as well as 

the reader, by surprise. 

When I had Arthur and Ford 

jettisoned into space, well — 

that seemed to be the end of 

it all right there. I racked my 

brains trying to find a way to 

rescue them without "with 

one bound, Jack was free" 

entering all. Then I 

remembered a TV show on 

Judo I had seen. A small 

man can toss a heavier 

opponent because he's using 

the other's weight against 

him. So here I was with the 

problem that any solution I 

used would be highly 

improbable. So, make 

improbability the solution, 

and it leads you on into other 

things. Thus creating the 

Infinite Improbability Drive, 

C+ VG: What did you 

enjoy most in writing the 

Hitch-Hiker books? 

18 

D.A.: Being able to bring 

together the meeting 

between the utterly ordinary 

and mundane, and the 

utterly extraordinary. 

C +VG: Are you going to 

continue the trilogy? 

D.A.: No, absolutely not. I've 

a new book coming out, Dirk 

Gently's Holistic Detection 

Agency. Now all those chat 

show hosts will have to come 

up with some new questions. 

C+ VG: Speaking of new 

works, will we have better 

luck asking about your 

new interactive text game, 

Bureaucracy. 

D.A.: Definitely. This is an 

exercise in the assault of 

red-tape, of small minds and 

vast horrors. Of being 

catapulted into appalling 

adventures and 

catastrophes. Repetition 

after repetition after 

repetition. Insane/inane 

situations which just get 

progressively worse the more 

you try to sort them out. 

(As if to illustrate the 

point of meaningless 

redundancy, everyone dons 

Douglas Adams' masks. 

Adams declines, noting that 

he: "Already has one on.") 

C +VG: What happens? 

D.A.: Moving day is over. 

You've just settled into your 

new house, and will shortly 

be starting a brand-new job. 

The company is going to fly 

you to Paris for a 

combination training 

seminar and vacation. It all 

sounds great, but there's a 

small hitch in that your 

bank won't accept the fact 

that you've moved. What 

happens next is bureaucracy 

at its finest, I shan't give too 

much away, but can you 

believe that the ultimate 

objective is to get the bank to 

acknowledge your change of 

address?!

Stephen King is the world's top 

horror writer. In his latest book, Eyes 

of the Dragon, King has turned his 

hand to fantasy with instant 

success. John Gilbert, whose own 

horror novel, The Devil's Children, 

is due to be published late next year, 

looks at King's career and his future 

plans. 

Q tephen King, undoubtedly the world's 

kigreatest lising horror writer, is about nt 

make history. 

Within the next 14 months he will 

publish four novels, none of them straight 

homir. continuing on the incredible path 

which is taking him away fro el the gore 

field and into other areas where critics and 

rieW readers are finding that there's more to 

Stephen King than bogeymen in the closet 

and giant, goblin-fronted tnicks which mow 

down their hapless drivers. 

King, who celebrates his •14.Oth birthday in 

September, has the loping stance of a bear 

furthered by a prolific beard, which he 

cultivates during Winter, but countered with 

kindly disposition and the humour. 

He's already published 15 novels under 

his own name, had films made of eight of 

those, as well as having his novella The Mist 

turned into an American radio play and 

home computer game. 

He admits that, although mitre than 200 

million copies of his hooks have been sold 

worldwide, he would have taken longer to 

get his find novel published if it hadn't been 

for his wife, Tabitha, who is also a novelist 

with a high profile in the US. 

In 197'2 he started work on shun story 

about a girl with the psychic power to move 

objects. At that time he was living in a 

mobile home in Hampden, which is in 

Maine. New England, tind werking as a 

part-time teacher. 

He worked himself into depression and 

begun to believe that he'd never make it as 

a writer — despite the piles of short 

stories, some of which he'd published_ and 

four novels be had written. 

Carrie 

hut , Tabby rescued and read it_ She 

convinced , him to complete the manuscript, 

which 

hal 

grew into a short novel. and submit it 

to US hardback publisher Doubleday_ 

f 

It was accepted and King received a 

royalty 

c o 

of $2,500. Ile was happy but almost 

had mp a seizure when Doubleday announced 

that l the e paperback rights had gone to New 

American t e Library riir a staggering 

S1tt0.000. d , King bought his wife a present to 

celebrate. w a hairdryer. and gave up teaching

OUT 

n 

OF THE CLOSET 

t 

When Carrie was published King had no 

o 

!mentions of becoming a horn ir writer. 

There's 

t 

a maxim in the writing business 

that hgenre 

brooks science fiction, 

romance e and hithror usually sell between 

3,000 b to 11111_111111 copies, while mainstream 

fiction, i which contains a little of everything 

to interest n everybody. can sell up to a 

million copies or mitre 

King_ like other authors. Wntes about 

what interests him, but as new novels were 

published — :Salem's Lot and The Shining 

— it became evident. even to his agent. 

that he was bringing horror out of the closet 

and making it his own. Ile swiftly became 

worried he would be snick with the genre 

curse but the critics who were willing to 

read past the first page of his novels, as well 

as his fan saw a depth of character and 

narrative in his work_ 

how do you follow the rampant success 

if a book — not to forget Brian de Palma' 

film — like Came 

In 1971 King played around with the 

idea that a _smal town, twit amongst the 

New England countryside, could become 

prey to a vampire. The townsfolk could just 

disappear and, like the Marie Celeste, no 

one would know why_ King's agent wasn't 

enamuursod with the idea because it was 

another horror novel hut he started the 

novel, called Second Coming which when 

published was retitled 15alemls Lot. 

When Salem's Lot was published King 

was already working on his next novel, a 

book about the l'atty Hearst kidnapping 

called The House on Value Street which 

eventually went on to become Lulled The 

Stand. His plans underwent a dramatic 

change when he stayed at a rambling hotel. 

called The Stanley's in a little out of the 

way place called Estes Park. It was about to 

shut up after a frantic summer season and 

everybody was leaving, the hotel was nearly 

deserted_ 

The Value Street novel changed course, 

and a new novel sprang up, its mural 

character a boy with the ability to "shine". 

a power tit see future events, trapped with a 

psychotic father and ineffective mother in a 

snow bound, haunted hotel_ King named the 

rH wel The Shine. 

INTO THE HRE 

The movie rights to The Shine went before 

the book was published. Warner Brothers 

wanted Stanley - Pottl Kubrick to 

direct with -lack — Prizzis Honour — 

Nitholsun in the starring role as the failed 

• .e•her and drunken, homicidal, father. 

Lterything seemed fine. hut Warner's 

wanted to change the tide. 

He has already escaped attempts to 

change 

, on 'Salem's Lot to As Maine Goes. So Goes 

the The Nation. but he understood the 

t 

reasoning. 

i t 

One of the major characters in the book 

le 

is a black chef called O'Halloran. The film 

o 

company was worried because Shine was a 

f pre war racial taunt dating back to when 

tblack 

shoe-shine boys worked the streets of 

h 

e 

T

m 

i 

:s capital cities So. the title of 

b•kot and film became The Shining. 

During the year in which The Shining 

was published a new author crept into the 

public eye. Richard Badman's first novel. 

called Rage, drew little attention from the 

critics and modest paperback sales. It 

concerns a college student who wants 

revenge on life, the universe and the 

educational system and goes to fatal lengths 

to get it. 

Badman's books — of which five an 

still , in print — reocived little publicity but 

the author made a slip when he published a 

slim novel called Thinner, about a lawyer 

under a gypsy slimming curse. It received a 

lot if publicity, it was Richard Bachman's 

greatest novel yet, and it was his downfall 

His publisher, New American Library, 

announced that he had died of cancer. 

Shortly after Stephen King, under constant 

pressure from fans, admitted that Richard 

Bachman was his pseudonym. 

Ile had adopted the pen name in tinter to 

get away from Shathen King On then was 

expected to write a certain kind of fiction 

hut. despite the lack of homer in four of the 

books, must of them made the US best 

seller lists as soon as 

Stephen King's name 

was put in the covers 

LEY'S BOOGY MAN 

While Badman boiled away King got on 

with the busines-s of being Mr Best Seller 

under his own name with a string of books 

including The Dead Zone. Ctrio and two 

short story collections. 

He also wrote two massive novels, 'The 

Stand and IT and collaborated with Ghost 

Story author Peter Straub on a fantasy 

called The Talisman, 

The Stand, a sombre and sometimes 

brutal tale uf Armageddon not by nuclear 

holocaust but hy a flu virus called Captain 

Trips, was the first Co see publication. 

The original manuscript was rut 

substantially by the publishers but an uncut 

version, around LOW pages will be 

published now that some copyright 

problems have been sorted out with 

Doubleday. ling's first US publisher. The

same lengthy problem has been 

encountered by movie maker George 

Romero. a close friend of Kings who wants 

to make The Stand into a film. 

Several writers have produced king 

screen plays and even King's attempt would 

take up a marathon seven hours of film 

time. Still, author and film maker are still 

committed to the project so we're likely to 

see cinematic version of the film before the 

end of the decade. 

The Talisman, written by King and 

Straub. is slightly longer than The Stand. 

It oentres on a boy's search, in this and a 

parallel world, for a talisman which will 

cure his mother of cancer and save the 

queen of the territories, the other world, 

from death. 

Straub visited King at his mansion in 

Maine to plan the hook They had come to 

bow each other when King started to write 

frunt•over critiques for Strauh's books and 

both authors realised they used a similar 

approach, if not style, in their way of seeing 

the world. 

They split the book into chunks, Each 

wrote a separate section on their word 

processors. There was no need to meet and 

discuss paeh others parts of the manuscript 

all they had to do was use a modem and 

send ten from one computer to the other 

over the tellthrine lines 

King had discovered the new terimoloo 

on which all his novels are now written. It 

helps him to churn out at least 1.1000 words 

almost every day of the year. 

SUMMER 110LIDAY 

King is, figuratively speaking, in the 

summer of his life and has decided to give 

his fans a rest, He's worried that they'll get 

Kingorrhea from the mountains of work he's 

putting out_ 

The publication of new books will stop 

for a few years, but Tabby suggested that 

be clear his shelves of the titles he has not 

published and that's why four new King 

novels ill see the light of print before the 

end of 1987. 

The first, Eyes Of The Dragon — 

originally titled The Napkins — has just. 

been released. It's a fairy tale, written for 

his daughter Naomi who -- unlike his sons 

Joe and Owen hates horror, but includes 

the same cruel satire that makes King's 

novels a world, or two, apart from other 

horror fantasy works. 

CharacteN include a iniodly king who 

burps and farts his way through dinner 

before throwing up into the fire in the 

privacy of his own rooms, and a randy 

young heir-apparent who's framed for the 

murder of his father by court magician 

Elm, who also appears as the had aory in 

The Stand. 

Later this year Misery. Kings private 

vision of the terrors of fanatical readers 

fandom, sees publication. It's about Paul 

Sheldon, a writer if romances kidnapped by 

his "number one fan" who forces him to 

resurrect her favourite heroine, Misery, 

whom he killed off in the hope that he could 

start to do some "serious" writing. The 

book's close to horror at one point the 

era2ed ex-nurse fan cuts off one of his feet 

to stop him from escaping – but it's more 

a dark comedy than all-out gore. 

King's first mass publication foray into 

science fiction, The Tommyknoaers, 

appears next year, It centres on the old 

saying "don't touch what you don't 

understand". 

The book starts as a writer unearths a 

spaceship in his back yard. Nearly everyone 

who comes into contact with it develops 

powers which enable them to invent 

marvellous new inventions hut, as with 

nuclear reactors, there're always snaps 

waiting around the corner to blow up in 

your face if you don't fully understand what 

you've created. 

WILD WEST AND MEN IN BI ACK 

At the time of publication Sphere 

paperbacks has just picked up the rights to 

six volumes of King short stores, collectively 

called The Dark Tower It weaves through a 

series of inter connected short stories about 

Roland the last gunslinger in a Wild 

West, Fantasy other world where magic Is 

alive and kicking. 

Roland's quest is to find and kill the man 

in black, a sort of magician and flirtune 

teller. Each short story advances his quest 

and his progress towards the Dark Tower 

where his destiny will be known. 

Although Sphere plans to publish six of 

these collections, King says that he has 20 

already outlined and hints that there could 

be more. Ile also has a number of novels 

which are unlikely to see print, because if 

there are some things just too gross to 

publish. Not least. among these no hopers is 

The Cannibals. To give just a taster it's 

about a group of people trapped in a 

towerblock with only themselves for comfart 

and food 

KING OF THE CREEPS 

All of King's novels have been optioned by 

film companies and most of them have 

found their way into the British cinema 

without critical sinless. King's favourite 

film is Cirlo, for which he wrote the 

screenplay. hut, at best he dislikes many of 

the other productions and at worst loathes 

them, Stanley Kuhrick's The Shining is a 

case in point 

British audiences will be treated to three 

King alms dunng this summer as well as 

Stand Hy Me, which is On release now. All of 

them were in production within the past 

two years but Creep Show II will be 

released first Its the sequel to Creep Show, 

a film made up of several story segments in 

the form of a comic book with a ghoulish 

master of ceremonies called The Creep to 

take viewers) between stories. 

King wrote the screen play. George 

Ramero directed and King's young son Joe 

took a cameo role in the film's first and final 

sequence. 

All the stories in the sequel have been 

written by King but George Romer, wrote 

the screen play. It includes The Rai?, a short 

story from Skeleton Crew about a group of 

teenagers stuck on raft in the middle of a 

lake and menaced - and eventually killed 

by an oil slick monster which floats 

across the water. 

Even the Bachman hooks are being 

turned into films. The first. The Running 

Man, will star Arnold Swarzenemor, fresh 

from his role in the third Conan film, as in a 

contestant on the ultimate TV games show 

where to survive against a team of blood 

hungry hit men is to win, 

King's greatest film project, but one 

which he'd probably forget, is Matamom 

Overdrive, les the first film he's directed 

and written, The plot is taken from Trucks a 

short story in Night Shift in which 

marhinely. in particualr an articulated lorry 

with a goblin's mask front, comes to life and 

ensalves humans who have to keep their 

masters fuelled up. 

Maximum Overdriw was heavily cut by 

US censors. It enjoyed a limited test run in 

a few ITS dnemas hut critics slammed it 

when it started its main release. King puts 

the blame partly on himself and partly on 

the censors who in the US count the number 

of swear words, sex scenes and gory 

incidents to fix a certificate. 

In the UK the film may fare better 

because our hoard of censors only cut 

excessive violence, gore and sex if it's the 

slightest bit unnecessary to a plot, and fix 

certificates depending on the general tone of 

a film, 

King enjoyed his time as director but 

doesn't want to do it again for a while. In 

some respects the reason is the same for not 

wanting to publish anything new for a few 

years, He doesn't want to wear out his 

effect on the public. 

That doesn't mean that fiction reviewers. 

film critics and censors can relax. By his 

OWlS account he'll be in the public eye, in 

small doses, until he drops, or until the 

public grows tired of him, So, they'd better 

watch out 

Stephen King fans may want to

Guardian Gobots and rule the planet. 

You've probably already thrilled to the cartoon 

series of the Gobots. Soon you'll be able to play 

Reaktor's game The Challenge of the Gobots on 

Amstrad, Spectrum and Commodore 64_ 

But while you're waiting don't miss out on our 

great Gobots competition. 

First prize is the whole range of Gobot toys — 

that's 12 in all (gasp) PLUS a Gobots video Battle of 

the Rocklands (wow!) 

Two runners-up will get a copy of the video 

(cod ). And that's not all. The next 15 people will get 

Gobot T-shirts (gosh!), 

So how could these goodies be yours? That's 

easy if you're a keen Gobots fan. 

On this page are six Gobot figures. They are 

Turbo, Scooter, Leader-1, Cy-Kill, Crasher and 

Copter_ But which is which? All you have to do is to 

identify each Gobot. 

Send your answers to Challenge of the Gobots, 

Computer + Video Games, Priory Court, 30-32 

Farringdon Lane, London, EC1R 3AU. The closing 

date is July 16th and the editor's decision is final.

about them is the way

you feel great --- a sort of 

sweet pleasure like when you 

have passed an exam. 

If you find a solution printed 

in C+ VG's pages your fun is 

spoiled. If one can't beat an 

adventure or can't crack a 

problem, leave it for some 

time (usually half an hour) and 

then return to tackle it with 

renewed energy.

with you concerning your

enough that it took you guys a

it such a bad review.

lain Clement of Basingstoke. 

What a concept, as another 

well-known make of

What a naughty adventurer 

you are, lain! I always thought 

that Princesses were resuced 

for reasons of chivalry, not 

lechery!

injustice! He only took the 

dress off, it seems, so that he 

could try to wear it himself — 

a task he spectacularly failed 

to do! Those Leather 

Goddesses certainly started 

something! 

The Myorem problem 

mentioned by Huw Howells 

has been answered by Mike 

Thomas of Caerphilly. But to 

print it would require a 

complete page! 

Basically, what you have to 

do is to get a drum, climb it 

and a creeper to get a twig. 

which is inserted in a can. 

Then the hole can be 

blocked with the can, after 

which you should get a bag 

and wear it. block the hole 

with the lid, climb the creeper, 

cut the creeper with the can, 

and keep swinging until it is 

safe to jump. . . Well, that 

should put you on the right 

track. 

Mike reckons the game that 

passes The Fiend's stringent 

cirteria, is The Pawn. Wrong 

Mike! The Fiend only has a 

48K Spectrum. as far as I 

know, and has yet to pit 

himself against 

The Pawn. 

I daren't 

mention the 

game by name, 

for fear of fiendish 

reprisals. but within 

the range of games to 

which he has access. 

I tend to agree with 

him. It is a very much underplayed 

game, that generally 

got good reviews but not such 

good sales. 

And it was the subject of a 

special C+VG feature a year 

ago. 

After The Fiend comes — 

The Riddler! "I'm the master 

of all riddles." he writes. 

"Take heed! I've written 

because of your feeble riddles 

for clues. Do you think you're 

good? Well, even The Fiend 

won't catch me!" We'll see.

this one is a Delta 4 product. 

whereas Miami wasn't, 

although what that means in 

practice is probably only of 

interest to the taxman! 

Regardless of that, it can 

safely be said that Fergus is

of the great American Private 

Eye, or Private Dick, as he is 

referred to (of course!) in the 

adventure. Slummy office full 

of dog ends, containing trendy 

Private Dick's mac hanging on 

coatstand, and a rather strange 

safe. 

As you are contemplating 

your new surroundings. SHE 

arrives at the office, casts a 

shapely silhouette on the 

frosted glass panel of the office 

door, and kicks it in. Iler

There is plenty of text, born 

out by the fact that although 

the game isn't written in

Fiction Plus system, the game 

is only available for the Plus 

range of machines— those 

with at least 128k of memory. 

Although a very funny game, 

occasionally the humour is 

overdone with too much text, 

to the extent of becoming a 

little childish. 

On the whole. though, that 

is worth putting up with for the

My first move in the game led 

me to a fire with the 

smouldering body of a demon 

on top of it. However this was

examination revealed a demon 

mask which would serve me 

well during the forthcoming 

adventure. 

Making my way to a cave 

nearby I happened once more 

to be stepped in my tracks by a 

statue which moved and 

blocked my way. A quick read 

of the strange symbols on this 

animated piece of stone soon 

revealed a word I remembered 

from my first encounter. and 

all was revealed. Once 

through the caves, a quick spot 

of DIY on a boat, and I was 

sailing across a lake and found 

myself beside a deserted 

church. Here was the first of 

many encounters where the 

demon mask would prove 

useful. 

An argument with a giant 

left me feeling a little awful by 

having to give away a friend as 

the main course for this 

carnivorous monster, until the 

obvious struck me in the thrill

most of the game.

• When I heard this band's first 

album Skeptic's Apocalypse in 

1985. I rated them as one of the up 

and coming metal bands. Well. it's 

taken quite a while for them to 

release their second album thanks 

to various legal problems with 

their old American label. But with 

all that behind they have finally 

delivered the goods! 

With this album they have 

found the right balance between 

speed and heavy metal. Fast and 

furious, with masses of guitar solos 

from both of the band's guitarists. 

Juan Garcia and Bernie Versye, 

make the album a great wall of 

noise. 

What makes this album for me 

are John Cyriss's vocals, Ile has a 

voice similar to Gillan's, but with 

the depth of Coverdale's and the 

soul of Dio's. He sings, shouts and 

screams his way through this 

album with a pleasing clarity. To 

sum up — good voice and, 

growling guitars make a great 

album.

• With out a doubt 

this is my album of 

the year already! 

If Agent Steel 

have mixed 

speed 

and 

heavy metal, the Beastie Boys 

have mixed all that with rap, dub, 

hip hop and body poppin' and 

come out with a wild sound which 

will blow your mind. You can't put 

a label to the sound as there isn't 

one in existance and if there was it 

wouldn't fit. 

You have to hear it to believe it. 

I am well versed in most forms of 

music. but honestly! have never 

ever — heard anything like this. 

They have a raw, rough sound 

which gives your speakers a hard 

time! They break almost every 

recording principle in the book 

and it works. 

You all must have heard the 

single hght for the Right and seen 

the great video. Well believe me 

the album's even better. 

The lyrics! Well these are a bit 

near the knuckle to say the least. 

If you really listen you will hear 

words and other sounds that are 

tucked away in the record that the 

record company couldn't have 

listened to. The songs are all about 

schools, girls, parties and 

adolesent life in general. They 

really know how to put this all 

over with feeling. 

The three guys in the group, 

namely Ad-Rock. NIOA and Mike 

D all lend a hand on the "vocals", 

which arc rapped out in style over 

waves upon waves of wailing lead 

guitar and thumping, booming 

bass. 

These guys are Bash. arrogant,

• I tried to like this album. I really 

did. I mean, lead singer Ann 

Boleyn has had a hard time. She 

formed the band in 1982 in a 

so-called haunted house where she 

lived. 

The neighbours organised a 

petition and forced her and the 

band to move out of the area. 

Then a managment deal with 

Ronnie Die fell through and the 

band split up.

band together. This she did and 

after a highly successful tour they 

received recording offers from 

labels and producers. Ann finally 

chose Mikey Davies to produce 

this album and he has a pedigree 

that can boast the likes of 

producing the likes of Tcd Nugent 

and Kiss. 

So there you have the sad story 

of Ann Boleyn and Hellicon. I 

would like to say the album is 

great but the fact is that they are 

just another run of the mill rock

The rest of the band arc quite 

competent, but the songs are 

musically shallow and the lyrics 

are, at times, downright over the

• As we all known Gary Moore 

was a great friend of the late Phil 

Lynott and played for various 

periods of time with Thin Lizzy_ 

Gary has dedicated this whole 

album to Phil and it shows, 

Nearly all the songs are really 

Lynotaizzy orientated and half 

the time I found myself imagining 

what they would be like if Phil was 

alive to sing them now, as they 

would have suited his vocal style 

to a tee. 

Of course, the music is of the 

highest quality, with Gary pulling 

out all the stops with his guitar 

Style and singing. 

If I have one gripe about this 

album it is a small one. I would 

have rather seen a couple of new 

tracks added to the album instead 

of having BOTII seven and 12inch 

versions of Over the Hills and 

Far Away and Wild Frontier, A 

dynamic album and a great tribute 

to a great man.

maw) 

• I've just listened to this album, 

if that's the right word. Perhaps 

should have used the word 

subjected. This is speed metal at 

its fastest, dirtiest and loudest. 

If you thought their last album 

Spreading The Disease was any 

good then you'll love this It's 

miles better, and faster. 

Belladona has a voice which is 

suited to screaming and he uses it 

to perfection. Alai I like about 

this band is that you just think 

they have slowed the tempo down 

a hit, then they set off again at 

rocket speed and your ears arc left 

behind trying to catch up. 

Just above the noise — for that's 

what it is, you can't call this music 

— you may well catch the 

interweaving guitars of Scott and 

Ian, but you have to pay attention. 

My favourite songs on the 

album are called Caught In A 

Mosh, Skeleton In The Closet and 

Imitation Of A Life, but check it 

out yourself.

the black widow, by 

comparing computer 

records from all over the 

country, but when her 

boss still won't assign her 

to the case she throws in 

her job and sets off on a 

personal vendetta, driven 

by her own deadly 

obsession. 

Actually, I'm not sure 

that the spider image 

holds up all the way 

through, because the film 

soon becomes a game of 

Cat and mouse as Alex 

finally catches up with 

Catharine on the Pacific 

island where she's 

already planning the fate 

of her next victim. It's as 

tense as any Hitchcock, 

only without any of those 

touches that. make The 

Master seem dated today. 

Superb performances 

by the two women, 

dedicated Debra Winger 

and sexy chameleon 

Theresa Russell, and a 

clever script, just show 

that you don't need a 

macho hero to solve a 

mystery. 

Actually, this is 

obviously the month for 

psychological suspense 

films with a feminist 

angle. The Morning 

After (15) really does 

follow one of those nights 

you wish you'd never had. 

Jane Fonda plays 

another Alex, a faded 

actress who's turned too 

heavily to the bottle. 

Waking up next to a 

strange man doesn't come 

as too much of a surprise 

but finding a knife in 

his heart does. 

How would you react in 

a situation like that? 

There's a long, gripping 

sequence as the camera 

trails Fonda, watching 

her reactions. It's like 

waking up from a 

V That morning after feeling 

nightmare, only to find 

that it's real. But Alex's 

real problem is that she 

can't be sure that she 

didn't kill the man in a fit 

of drunken rage. 

So she goes on the run. 

through Los Angeles shot 

to make it look like a 

series of abstract blocks of' 

dazzling colour and cool 

shade. Eventually she 

teams up with an ex-cop, 

played in dumbly amiable 

fashion by Jeff Bridges. 

But can she prove her 

innocence before the cops 

decide otherwise? 

Unluckily the film runs 

out of steam before its 

heroine does. 

Now it's time for 

Something Wild and as 

this bizzare thriller is 18 

rated, younger readers 

had better skip to the next 

paragraph immediately. 

What? You peeked! 

Well, stick with Ward 

then, because I promise 

not to say anything that 

will corrupt you. However 

I am about to rave about a 

film that you won't be 

able to see — and Ward 

knows how hard that can 

be. 

This is one of those 

A Hey, fancy a ride in my really wild rehani robin? 

films that just won't be 

tied down. It's like After 

Hours, Into the Night, 91/2 

weeks a n d comes out 

all its own thing and 

better than all of them. 

The plot is so simple it 

defies description 

instead of paying his 

lunch bill, office worker 

Charlie Driggs (Jeff 

Daniels) takes off with ai. 

unknown woman, Lulu 

Hankel, (the lovely 

Melanie Griffith). 

As the publicity says, 

"It's an experience he'll 

remember for the rest of 

his life or the rest of the 

weekend — whichever 

comes first." With all the 

logic and switchback plot 

changes of a nightmare, 

Charlie is undone and 

rebuilt as his situation 

turns from comedy to 

thriller, then back again. 

Don't miss this b u t 

ony if you're over 181 

Finally two British 

films, and their 

nationality shines 

through. High Season 

(15) is set on Rhodes and 

had me yearning to spend 

a holiday on the island. 

It's a comedy which 

brings together an odd 

assortment of characters, 

from yobbo tourists to 

spies, all of whose doing 

seem qwite irrelevant in 

this quiet setting. A 

gentle film, full of feeling 

for the island people, it 

could have done with a 

firmer handling of the 

comedy. Fun though.

First Domark's game. Latest reports 

say that the programming of the game 

is progressing well. 

These are the latest screen shots 

from the Amstrad version. Bond is the 

character in the white shirt. The man 

near him is a defecting Russian agent 

caled Koskov who Oft7 must protect. 

Lurking in the background are the 

had j.,mys intent on putting a few holes 

through Bond's nicely pressed Saxille 

Row shirt. 

Richard Naylor. designer of The 

Living Daylights. is at the time of 

writing on a secret mission to the 

United States to check up on the 

programming teams wiirking on the 

Atari ST and Amiga versions. 

Latest reports indicate he's 

somewhere in the Salt Lake City area 

visiting Sculptured Software. The 

arcade machine version is also being 

produced in the US using the 

Amiga board — by a Mastertronic 

owned company Arcadia, 

Last months C-i- VG James Bond 

Dossier included a rough outline of 

what to expect in the game, the 

hackgrounds of which will be taken 

from the film. 

There are ten levels in all with 

varying difficulties. Before each level 

THE GAME 

N — , 

%Al 

Bond has the chance to choose a 

weapon from the laboratory of gadet 

master Q, But be quick. There's only 

five seconds to choose. 

There is a selection of weapons, 

from a ghetto-blaster rocket pack to a 

hand held gun. The range varies from 

level to level, some even being able to 

be taken from one level to the next. 

Bond is about one•fifth of the height 

of the screen and one fourth of the 

width, and is controled by numerous 

movements of the joystick_ His Gun 

controls consist of a joystick for 

directions, the fire button for shooting 

and a second button to select between 

controlling Bond and the gun sights, 

When the select button is pressed a 

red clot appears in the centre of the 

screen, At this point Bond stops. the 

dot can now be controled around the 

screen. Bond will follow its movements 

with his gun am_ On pressing the fire 

button the gun will release a shot, if 

pressed quickly it will fire repeatedly 

The gun has unlimited firepower! 

Level I — Gibraluir: Bond begins his

ALIEN 

SYNDROME 

Alien Syndrome is one of the most 

gripping games I've played in 

recent months and Sego earns a 

pot on the bock for the game — 

special effects, sound, graphics and 

gameplay. 

Alien Syndrome is like walking 

into the coin-op version of the 

movie Aliens. One minute you're 

standing in a deafening arcade, 

the next, with a bit of imagination, 

you're transported to a sinister 

space ship, overun with disgusting, 

pulsating aliens who've taken the 

16 members of the crew hostage_ 

"The time-bomb is set", intones a 

heavy voice, the music sounds like 

a cross between Jaws and on old 

Vincent Price horror movie, and 

round a corner seeths a mass of 

grotesquely fat, undulating worms. 

Occasionally one mutates, a jaw 

with jogged teeth appears for an 

instant before it reverses itself to 

become once more a squirming 

mass. Others are busy producing 

small replicas of themselves, almost 

foster than you can kill them. 

Only trouble is your single fire 

loser isn't much help. Run quickly to 

one of the lock-ups dotted round 

the area and burst it Open. With 

luck you should find a flame 

thrower, rapid fire loser, protective 

droids or long range laser cannon. 

Scouting round the outside edge 

of the space ship,you quickly come 

across the first unfortunate crew 

member tied up with a sticky mass 

of alien gunge to the wall. Run 

over him to set him free. But be 

quick, there are another 1 5 to find

PO' PLIIYER 

and the bomb is already ticking 

away. 

Muted screams are heard in the 

distance, but none more horrible 

than your own should you hoppers 

to foil foul of one of these 

disgusting creatures. As Alien 

Syndrome is a two player game 

you have the choice of playing a 

women or man, and it's the 

wornan's scream which is so 

shocking. I've never heard 

anything so loud, and chilling on a 

coin-op before — it's guaranteed 

to send shivers down your spine. 

The bloke's scream is more of a 

wimper and doesn't sound nearly 

as lifelike. 

The music hots up sounding a 

warning as your free the hostages. 

The aliens start to congregate in 

areas to block you oft andyou'll 

hove to moke good use of the 

maps to find the locolions of the 

rest of the crew. When they've all 

been rescued, hot foot it to the exit 

where you escape straight into the 

ASOPH Y 

arms of a REAt monster. This 

grows more terrible on each level 

and takes many shots to kill. 

Writhing and changing its shape at 

will, one second growing mouth 

and teeth, the next surging 

forward, it's surrounded by small 

replicas of itself, each one 

spawning yet more replicas. This is 

when you really need your male 

playing with you — the combined 

firepower is vital if you're to 

proceed onto the next level 

Alien Syndrome is played in the 

Gauntlet style, with on overhead 

view, and scrolling screen which 

mops out in all directions_ 

Further levels become more 

tricky in layout with narrow bridges 

to negotiate. 

Apart from sit-in racing games 

where you feel a part of the 

machine, this is the first time the 

atmosphere and sheer 

addictiveness of a shoot 'em up hos 

transported me to another planet 

Alien Syndrome is fantastic. 

Play it if you dare! 

DUNK 

SHOT 

If you've ever played basketball 

you'll know it helps to be 

reasonably tall — being anything 

over, soy, seven foot gives you a 

distinct advantage. it's just a matter 

of strolling up to the basket and 

dropping the ball in. None of these 

frantic efforts to hurt your puny and 

tiny frame into orbit in on effort to 

score. 

Well with Sego's Dunk Shot you 

cannot only loin the big guys on 

the court, you can °dually look 

down on them. 

I don't normally like table top 

arcade games, I always feel a little 

detached from the play. It's the 

some with Dunk Shot You feel as if 

you're dingima to the roof and 

could plunge down onto the court 

otany time. 

Anyway, apart from that minor 

gripe, Dunk Shot is a Sega 

sensation, ace graphics, 

sound, fast action where the skills 

have to be learned 

The playing area is bigger than 

the screen so the game scrolls bock 

and forth. But you con keep an eye 

on where your players ore 

on a grid of little dots. This is 

okay, but in the fast and furious 

play it's o little difficult to take your 

eye off the game and consult it. I 

tended to find that the opposition 

zipped through my defences and 

scored. 

When you shoot make sure you 

lend an ear to the sound of the ball 

hitting the rim of the basket. irs 

• mega-reolistic. 

But the crowning glory of Dunk 

Shot for me is the way players leap 

up to get the boll, growing larger 

as they seem to get nearer to you, 

Dunk Shot makes a nice change 

from all the hock 'n' slash and blast 

'em up games. A winner

All right you lot — what's happened to all the hints, 

tips and pokes. Could it be that it's that dreaded 

time of the year when exams are looming or could 

it be that you are still drooling over my poster. 

Then again it could be that you are just too darn 

lazy. Well, whatever the excuse, I am not happy! Do 

you think I enjoy getting loads of letters saying 

"you never print any hints, etc for MY computer 

What - do you want me to do — make them up. 

. 

So please. please inundate me with letters and I 

can pay you for info. Send them to me — Melissa 

Raventlame, LC_ 

• NETHER EARTHO 

Settle down for some pretty 

complex hints from Edward 

Hartnell of Swansea. If you can 

make head or tail of this lot then 

you deserve to complete Nether 

Earth. 

Build a few lightly armed, fastmoving 

robots to capture nearby 

factories. You will need no more 

than two or three such robots, 

equipped with cannon and tracker 

or, preferably. anti-gray chassis 

units. Send one ahead and leave 

the Other to capture the nearby 

neutral factories. Taking manual 

control of the advanced robot, use 

rt to capture neutral and enemy 

factories, as well as terminating 

enemy robots. Once well 

equipped enemy robots begin to 

appear take up a defensive 

position and try and hold off the 

Insignians for as long as possible. 

When this robot is finally 

destroyed retreat to Kerberus and 

with you accumulated resources 

build battle robots. The best such 

robots consist of an anti-gray 

propulsion unit allied with 

missiles, phasers and an 

electronic support module, Never 

economise on the chassis, since 

the speed with which a robot can 

tun to face an adversary is just as 

important as the strength of its 

weapon systems. Generally the 

larger the amount of resource 

points spent on a robot the more 

cost-effective it will be. 

Order your robots to search and 

destroy enemy robots. Advance 

and ambush the enemy robots 

moving forward when d 

convenient gap appears. Occupy 

the entrance to Tarra's Warbase 

and hold it for 12 hours. During 

this crucial time, manually direct 

your robot in combat mode. When 

the heh-pad appears land on it 

and construct more battle robots. 

Order about a third to capture 

enemy factories and the rest to 

destroy robots Now retreat and 

manually guide out any robots 

stuck in the maze-like approach to 

Tarras Again build as many 

robots as your resources allow 

and order these to destroy enemy 

robots. 

Once this section has been 

cleared take control of one of the 

foremost robots. Advance slowly, 

firing constantly and clear the area 

of enemy robots. Then occupy 

and hold the entrance to Faretra 

Warbase until the hell-pad 

appears, Build more robots with 

the same orders as before. Now 

direct any stuck robots through to 

Faretra. By now the Insignians 

should control only a handful of 

robots. Build robots as before. But 

with the addition of nuclear 

bombs. Order the robots to seek 

and destroy the enemy robots 

advance and take control of a 

battle robot, Use this to eliminate 

the remaining Insignian robots. 

Now you have two choices. You 

can either use this robot to 

capture the final Insignian 

Warbase or you can use a 

nuclear-equipped droid to 

incinerate it. The choice is yours! 

GENERAL HINTS 

Nuclear weapons — generally it is 

not worth using these to destroy 

enemy warbases or factories. 

However, they are extremely 

useful for clearing obstructing 

walls, such as those on the 

approach to the warbases. Build a 

small robot, such as those on the 

approach to the warbases. Build a 

small robot, armed only with a 

bomb and advance on the 

ohstruction. Retreat all robots at

• 

Marlin Walker. the programmer of 

Chameleon, sent these hints in for 

C + VG readers. The secret of 

playing the game is to learn the 

best alignment to combat each 

type of demon. Demons have 

intelligence and will dodge your 

shots if they can. To tire rapidly. 

hold the joystick button down and 

keep jabbing the stick in the 

desired direction. When you 

collect the tainted flux from the 

path the ruling demons will swarm 

at you. Be prepared! If you gel 

hemmed in by a swarm of sky 

demons and are running low on 

energy, duck and stay down until 

a suitable path demon comes 

along to give you more energy. As 

you get further into the game. the 

sky demons will all begin to 

demonstrate different super 

least live miles. then man,uaky 

detonate to destroy the wall. 

Robot Combat — when 

manually controlling your robot 

use combat mode which will give 

you quick access to its weapons. 

In combat let your enemy come to 

you. Try to stay on the edges of 

the screen or behind full blocks to 

restrict the angles you can be 

attacked from. Try to deal with one 

enemy at a time and above all, do 

not stray into another robot's field 

of fire 

powers. You will have to develop 

different tactics to destroy each. 

Watch out especially for the 

Blizzard demons in the second 

water realm. Align yourself to 

water and turn all the bubbles to 

sparklers to keep your energy 

topped up. 

Getting Extra Energy — any 

energy lost through firing, 

stepping in pools or coiliding with 

demons can be topped up by firing 

at an aligned path demon — 

Sparks if Chameleon is aligned to 

fire — this turns the path demon to 

pure energy (a sparkler) and can 

be picked up by touching it. 

Rules of the Elements — fire 

destroys water and turns earth to 

tire Earth blocks water, air blows 

out fire, and water destroys fire 

and turns air to water.

BASEMENT 

GROUND FLOOR 

On the first level, ignore trir: exits 

to four and eight, as the first eight 

levels don't present much of a 

problem and jumping to level eight 

will just waste valuable food and 

potions. 

In general, keep your distance 

from the enemy. Don't fight handto-hand 

with Demons, Grunts and 

Sorcerers. It may score more 

points but it rapidly depletes your 

health. Fight hand-to-hand with 

lobbers as they put up little 

resistance and are easily 

Overcome. 

Always destroy the generators 

before disposing of the army Only 

use potions on death if there are 

three or more. If there is more 

than one death on the level, entict? 

them to a particular section of the 

maze and use a potion It is 

possible to hit across keys and 

exits in order to hit what is on the 

opposite side. Remember, it is 

possible to shoot diagonally 

through gaps. It is also possible to 

destroy quite a few generators by 

standing on the same spot. 

Don't carry too many keys as it 

is possible to become trapped, in 

which case you will have to wait 

for the walls to turn into exits. 

When you have collected the 

amulet of invisibility, destroy as 

many generators as possible. The 

creatures will not attack but 

ghosts speed around the screen 

The game to get David 

Harvey's mapping talents going 

this month is Into the Eagle's 

Nest, Here are the first two levels 

with a few hints. As well as 

walking into doors, you can shoot 

them. The first-aid kit reduces hits 

to zero and the food to ten. Only 

shoot the chest once, as there 

might be dynamite in it. Try to 

stand behind something and edge 

Out gently you can now blast 

them. To get the prisoner out of 

your way, shoot him in the 

direction you want to do in. Look 

out for the next two levels in I.C. 

next month. 

Melvyn Jones of South Yorkshire

was horrified to find Out that

SUMMER 

GAMES 

8 different sports 

events, compete 

against an 

opponent or the 

computer. Superb animation. 

Thrilling head 

to head motor 

racing. 6 different 

circuit& each with 

on screen map and ptt tacilities I

is, as far as I know, 

unique among comics in 

that it is firmly rooted in 

real events and moves 

along month by month at 

the same pace as real 

events. The events in 

question ore the 

American involvement in 

the Vietnam war. (approx 

55p monthly) 

• Superman 

Forget all your 

preconceptions about the 

first and greatest superhero 

of all. Writer/artist 

John Byrne — (of X-Men, 

Alpha Flight and 

Fantastic Four fame — 

has given the Man of 

Steel a whole new, grittily 

realistic look, basing him 

in a Metropolis that's 

much more like the real 

world. (40p monthly) 

• X-Man 

Marvel's magnificent 

mutants, or the most 

angst-ridden "family" in 

comics. X-Men is equal 

parts super-heroics and 

soap opera — and owes 

its eight-years-plus at 

the top of the popularity 

charts to Chris 

Claremont's expertise at 

writing about adolescent 

problems with saving the 

world. (40p monthly) 

• X-Facter 

The original X-Men 

(Angel, Beast, Cyclops, 

Iceman, Marvel Girl) 

reunited! But not, on this 

occasion, called together 

by Professor X to battle 

Magneto's Evil Mutants. 

This time they've 

formed themselves into a 

task force dedicated to 

seeking out and training 

the mutants who hide 

their superhuman 

powers from a fearful 

society. X-Factor is 

closely interwoven with 

X-Men, as is the next title. 

(40p monthly) 

• Fantastic Four v. X 

-This 

title and the next are 

Mon fine examples of the art 

of getting more money 

Out of the same customer. 

That said, it's actually a 

valuable addition to the 

collection of any X- 

Maniac or FF fan. Chris 

Claremont writes, John 

Bogdanove draws. 

(approx f 1 .1 0 per issue) 

• Ciassic X 

-Another 

good marketing 

trick, Menif 

you can manage 

it, is to sell people the 

same material twice. 

(approx 55p monthly)

This is the FIRST interactive

hip, shrewd, daring, and just a 

bit of a smarty-pants.

there are six Of them to each

you and other people. The 

word balloons over your head 

change to match your whim or 

mood of the moment. 

Certain events force you to 

fight for that next panel, or to 

be more explicit — for your 

life! Suddenly you find yourself 

in one of eight arcade 

sequences, dodging missiles 

and bombs, battling robots or 

sharks, You must overcome 

this "game within a game" 

before you can continue. 

You can also make a wrong 

decision leading to violent 

results in the panels part as 

well. 

Comics gives you two 

different stories to participate 

in. In one, you must rescue a 

not-so-mad scientist and his 

secret formulae from evil 

hands. 

Comics will be released in

After a few quiet months 

Elite explodes into action 

with Cataball, Airwolf It and 

the Great Guryanos! Check out 

newies from Gremlin, Alien 

Evolution and Re-Bounder and tak( 

on the rampaging rodent, Ninja 

Hamster from CRL. 

No nukes is good nukes, unless 

you're Mrs T, but the subject of 

Armageddon continues to fascinate 

games programmers. ACTIVI- 

SION are preparing to launch HIGH 

FRONTIERS, a simulation of President 

Raygun's favourite toy — the 

so-called Star Wars defence system. 

Written by ALAN STEEL, coauthor 

of Theatre Europe, HIGH 

FRONTIER puts you in charge of 

the SDI system — its development 

and deployment. It's like a game of 

Risk with amazingly high stakes.

Is this good value for money or what? Three 

games for the price of one from C+VG's 

Software House of the Year. Elite. 

And they aren't lust any old games either. 

You get a coin-op conversion, the sequel to 

one of Elite's best sellers, plus an entirely 

original game all in one highly playable 

package. 

We're talking about the arcade combat 

game Great Guryanos, Airwolf II plus 

3DC on the Speccy and Amstrad ond o neat 

bouncing ball type game called Cataball on 

the 64. 

Great Guryanos is a scrolling combat game 

in the Rygar mode — although the coin-op 

original appeared light years ago. The 

computer version features large cartoon style 

characters and lots of armed conflict. 3DC is 

an isometric arcade adventure set underwater. 

Your diving-suited hero has to rebuild a lost 

submarine while battling creatures of the deep. 

Airwalf II features that world famous helicopter 

on a new mission which owes a lot to 

Salamander and Nemesis. An addictive shoot 

'em up with lots of neat frills. 

Catchall is another addictive and different 

offering. You guide four bouncing balls across 

various landscapes in a guest for lost balloons. 

Sounds silly — but it's extremely playable. 

You can lose your bolls — if you'll pardon the 

expression — one by one as you encounter 

different hazards. 

Each game could be released as a full price 

game — but it's nice to see Elite thinking about 

your pockets and offering this bumper bundle 

as a compilation. 

All cassette versions of the game will set you 

bock £9.95 while disk owners will have to fork 

Out El 4.95. In your shops in July.

Alien 4 Evolution Out this month at E4.99 It's set In the aftermath of a nuclear holocaust 

where 3 the earths surface is a barren and hostile place, incapable of supporting human 

life. p r The o survivors withdrew to underground complexes, and now, after years of 

dedicated 

g r a 

research, they have produced an android, Cyborg 64, who may provide the 

answer to their prayers. 

m 

The 

m 

problem 

e 

is that a race of unusual aliens has populated the earth and are less 

than r s keen to relinquish their newly found homestead. 

MAlien 

Evolution is played from a 3D prospective, looking down at the plant, and 

features a tranporters to zap you from area to area Monochrome graphics and full 

scatting are also included. 

r 

c Meanwhile, here's a look at Gremlins The Final Matrix out soon on Spectrum. MSX 

(E7.99). and Amstrad (E9.99) 

o 

a 

Nimrod is a member of a friendly race called the Bloptons, a mechanical people who 

are very friendly and fond of socialising. 

n 

During an outing hostile Cratons abducted a party of Bloptons, and scattered them 

across 

d 

the galaxy on their matrix network of space prisons. Elloptons have delegated 

the R rescue of their countrymen to Nimrod! 

uIt's 

impossible for Nimrod to land his craft on the matrix, his only option is to 

actually i land himself and retrieve the hostages individually. Nimrod has an added 

handicap T — no one really knows where each matrix is or even how many there are. His 

quest begins in a Bioton spacecraft fitted with the Bloton's most advanced 

i 

navigational aid — the Pentavision. Using the display monitor, he can locate 

each 

t 

matrix and manoeuvre his ship into the correct position to land 

o 

Once on a matrix the fun beings! Nimrod has to find the hostage and 

launch a back to his ship as quickly as possible.

CHRIS 

Sinbad is the newest Amiga 

release in the Cinemaware 

range, from the people who 

brought you Defender of the 

Crown. 

The game was not 

programmed by exactly the 

same people though, and it's 

easy to see. But, enough of this. 

Here's the plot. 

One day the Princess 

Sylphani, a very pretty young 

lady, was about to give her 

father his early morning call. 

when she discovered 

something strange. 

The Caliph had been 

transformed by some no-good, 

evil, son of a (OK OK, we get the 

message — Ed) into a falcon. 

And as the people would not be 

ruled by a feathered king, things 

looked bleak. 

Sinbad was summoned by 

the Princess to see if he could 

shed some light on this 

unfortunate state of affairs, 

After much consideration, 

Sinbad takes the Princess and 

her brother on a voyage seeking 

the answer to this riddle. 

Sinbad first visits The 

Shaman, a very wise god-like 

man who is about the only 

person skilled in the art of 

turning falcons into people. 

Very handy. 

He says that to release the 

Caliph, Sinbad must collect 

three eyes from three sisters, 

and the wing of a demon. 

Not being the things you find 

in the local supermarket, this is 

going to be tough! 

Sinbad can ask various 

people questions, and by 

collating information together, 

he can try to understand the 

Shaman's needs, 

You find out the locations of 

the sisters by questioning the 

Caliph's ex-wife, Libitina. She 

has knowledge of the black arts, 

I I f arant those 3 lAt a es. 

ICEMLTELZ I rev! °us i s 

Go back to your lamP; I 

will summon you later. 

and Lan help you. 

Libitina is also very evil. She 

will try to seduce you, and 

although you will enjoy it, it 

pays to be careful. But, having 

said that, you'll miss some 

wonderful graphic sequences!!! 

Buy using pull down 

menus, 

Sword fighting is the best, 

and it just goes to show what 

the Amiga can do. As you slash 

your opponent across the ribs, 

you get a realistic cry of pain, 

and blood flies everywhere, 

Great stuffl 

The rest of the game is mostly 

text, but is well written and 

often amusing. I particularly 

liked the bit about cages made 

of whole trees! 

While travelling about, you 

have the option of viewing 

three screens. These are: 

The World — A map of 

Sinbad's world, which you 

analyse with a magnifying glass 

— nice touch— to find your 

way about. 

The City — This screen shows 

the hour glass, which displays 

the time limit, and also the

amount of jewels collected. 

Each screen must be used at 

some point, and you must also 

govern the Caliph's forces in 

defending Damaron, this adds 

to the strategy. 

When you travel about the 

oceans, you may come across a 

shipwreck, another action 

screen. This entails you steering 

around rocks, and picking up 

survivors, who shout 'Thanks' 

in a muffled digitised voice, 

If you hit a rock, the game is 

over, and so begins the tale of 

Sinbad's underwater 

adventures.. • 

Still, it's worth croaking once, 

just to see death standing by 

the cinema curtains, scythe in 

hand. 

Also, there are random 

features in the game, such as 

the ROC. This mythical creature 

will snatch crew members for 

its dinner quite unexpectedly. 

With all these things against 

you, what do you have going 

for you, well there's Genie. 

When found he will help 

you, but you only get the 

customary three wishes. 

So far this all sound 

impressive, but what about 

graphics and sound. Well, the 

graphics are not up to usual 

Amiga standard, but they are 

quite colourful. At certain points 

in the game, it gets really 

blocky, and I don't understand 

this at all. 

The lowest resolution is 

320x200, which is the high-res 

on the 64, so why the chunks. 

The sound, however, is totally 

different. A fantastic 'Arabian 

Knights' soundtrack fits the 

game perfectly, and the sound 

effects are fab too. I particularly 

liked the misic when you get 

seduced, real heavy_ 

So, the pics are pretty, the 

sound is amazing, and the 

control is easy as pie, but that 

doesn't make a good game. 

Playability is there, but the 

game is a bit easy. 

I finished the game after five 

to six goes, and got to live 

happily ever after with the 

Princess. It turns Out that it was 

Libitina who assaulted the 

Caliph's appearance, but I knew 

it all along. 

Not bad, although not as 

good as Defender of the Crown. 

Oh, yes Mindscape quote the 

word 'Adult entertainment' 

more than once in the 

instructions. As this cannot 

apply to Sinbad, does this mean 

we will be seeing 'X' cert 

Cinemaware products. 

We live in hope...

do, dot Yeah, that famous 17 

second tune, the colourful

STAR Lid 

vector graphics, and digitised 

speech can only mean one 

thing 

And that's Stem!icier. The 

famous shoot-'em-up cum 

tactical game which first got the 

Atari ST noticed, has now, at 

last, arrived on the Amiga. 

- 

The game uses vector 

graphics, similar to those in 

Mercenary and &Waren°, 

although of a much higher 

quality. 

Based around the 

accompanying novella, 

specially written by James 

Follet, &ergneer 1e the story of 

Jaysan, and his attempt to 

destroy the Egrons' fleet. 

Who are the Egrons? Well 

they're a nasty bunch trying to 

destroy your planet, and of 

course, you can't have that. 

Flying your 

ER 

AGAV fighter in a 

manner similar to Skyfox, you 

will come across plenty of 

nestles to blow away. All 

displayed in lovely vectors and 

at this point you can do little 

else but marvel at what Jez San, 

the man responsible for this 

masterpiece, has achieved. 

The Walkers walk 

convincingly around the screen 

the Bute fighters dodge your 

laser blasts with amazing 

manoeuvres, and the Starglider 

flaps about in the most 

menacing way. 

All this, and not a flicker to be 

seen. Incredible! 

But enough about the 

graphics, let's get back to the 

game. 

Being a shoot-'em-to-bits, 

Starglider is instantly playable, 

but you will soon find yourself 

being shot down time and time 

again, unless you think about 

what your doing. 

Using the excellent novella, 

you must work out how to stay 

alive, refuel your ship and 

destroy the Egron flagship, 

Starglider One. 

Starglider One, the orange 

bird, is mean and extremely 

tough. She has only one 

weakpoint, and it is this which 

you must expose if you have 

any idea about saving Novenia. 

When entering the docking 

bay, you may be able to collect 

a missile. if this is possible, the 

screen will flash green and you 

will automatically have it. But, 

you can only carry two missiles 

at any one time. 

The amazing graphics are 

accompanied by superb sound, 

which has been dramatically 

altered since the original ST 

version. 

The game now features not 

only the original music, 

played whilst loading, 

but also a new stereo 

tune which is heard 

once the game 

has loaded. 

The sound effects have also 

been beefed up, and are now 

sampled, giving a lot more 

realism to explosions. 

The other vital ingredient 

which Is of course the speech, 

courtersy of the lovely Miss 

Edgeley, has been made mud' 

clearer. So when you hear 

things such as 'Missile 

Launched' or 'Energy Low', It 

to y 

ouPlus, 

all sound is in stereo, for 

a quick example hook the 

o 

Amiga to your hi-fi, and fire to 

nthe 

left or right of the screen. 

uThe 

sound comes from the 

clo corresponding speaker! 

The game also runs faster oi 

the 

i 

Amiga, which means you 

get a faster lasers, and things 

don't s slow down when there's 

lot of action on the screen. 

i 

Even the optiorts have been 

increased, f you now get to 

choose C between normal and 

self-centring l 

sights, and there 

are 

a 

several settings for fixed 

sights. 

r I must also mention that the 

game e can now be played with a 

joystick, i a special routine has 

been implemented which 

allows s the stick to act like a 

2-button r mouse. 

i When you finally have your 

lights 

g 

put out, you receive a 

status sheet as to how well yot 

performed. h The sheet consists 

of t accuracy, shots fired and 

generally n gives you a rating. 

The 

e 

ratings are Rookie, Poor 

(That's me!), Fair, Average, 

Above x Average, Accurate, 

Deadly, t Super Flyer, Ace Pilot, 

and finally Commander. 

I say finally, but there is one 

more rating. This is a very apt 

one for someone who scores 

this high. 

When you get good enough 

to enter your name in the scort 

table, you have the option of 

saving it to disk. This wasn't 

included in the ST version, but it 

means that your friend's score 

stays there until you top iti 

Sterglider just goes to prove 

what I've always said about 

Rainbird, they are in the elite ol 

software houses and are 

constantly turning out new and 

original material. 

I also think they were lucky tc 

find Jez, who has to be one of 

the best Amiga programmers 

around. He has taken the 

machine further than anyone 

else to produce what I call a true 

Amiga game. 

All that can be said now is 

three cheers for Painbird, three 

cheers for Jez.

truly wonderful simulation 

game, by those clever 

Microprose people, The 

simulation enables the player to

and to fight some of the deadly 

battles that went on at that time. 

Unlike most simulations I've 

come across, SS is very easy to

Once again, the amazing

This time, they interrupt you

accompanying documentation. 

When you start, you can 

choose what sort of thing you'd 

like to try. There's Torpedo 

practice. Convoy actions and 

the main one, War Patrols, Each 

section is well presented and 

can be made extremely difficult, 

depending on the reality levels. 

The reality levels are just one 

of the special features making 

the game very playable indeed. 

But what do they do? Well, one 

of the options is visibility, 

another Dud Torpedoes. 

If you set visibility to limited, 

you can only see enemy targets 

in your area. This is more 

realistic than knowing where 

they are all the time, and as for 

dud torpedoes it speaks for 

itself_ 

Once you've completed 

several Convoys, you should 

attempt a war patrol, This 

involves following one of the 

accompanying maps, and 

patrolling the waters for 

Japanese war fleets. 

The maps are vital as they 

show the path taken by various 

types of enemy craft, and they 

also enhance the excitement. 

When playing the game, you 

use various Battlestations 

screens, which consist 

of a periscope, 

maps, a 

damage 

Using a US satellite, you can 

get into the complex with your 

micro, and consequently 

control a droid which the 

Americans have managed to 

sneak in. 

Using your micro, you have 

managed to tap into a security 

camera, and you are able to use 

this to look around. There are 

other cameras about, but you 

have no control over them. 

But you may jam their signal, 

and run a pre-recorded tape 

past them, so you can step in 

front without being squealed 

on. 

Doing this takes care, and you 

must match the camera signal 

time with the video exactly, 

otherwise you will be detected. 

When you are detected. the 

Russians send out a thing called 

the 'Annihilator'. You have 

probably 9uessed what this 

does. But it does it in a most 

humorous way, mashing your 

MRU over the head, The sound 

effects here are great, listen out. 

So, we've got four displays 

on the screen, three cameras, 

and the fourth is the IGS. This 

screen, a dial and a gauges 

screen and of course the bridge, 

The bridge is the least 

important really, but where 

would you be without a 

periscope. 

Once you've found the 

enemy, you will wish to give 

him an early retirement. When 

he is in range you can do this 

with either Torpedoes, the main 

weapon, or a four inch deck gun 

which is used for destroying 

HACKER 

is your guidance around the 

complex, and when you move 

it, it moves along as well, 

simple. 

You are told that the papers 

are in a vault, which you will be 

able to find pretty quickly. 

However, you must first get the 

combination, This is in four or 

five parts, and each part is in a 

coded filing cabinet somewhere 

in the building. 

You are given the code for 

one of the cabinets, and must 

work Out the rest for yourself. 

All this sounds pretty simple 

for the accomplished hacker, 

so to make life more enjoyable, 

there are messages which pop 

up every once in a while. 

These range from "camera 

detection loss", which means 

you can't tell where the moving 

cameras are around the 

building, to "droid detection 

loss", meaning 

complete loss of 

your guidance 

systems. So 

much for 

American 

already damaged craft. 

Silent Service is extremely 

playable and fun, whilst giving 

an accurate account of 

submarine warfare, a must for 

every simulation addict. 

Gunship, another excellent 

simulation, is being converted 

at this very rno, and I can't wait.

technology. 

And that's about it, 

gameplay-wise. Just find the 

combination, open the vault, 

and choose the right papers to 

get home. But it's damn hard 

trying to do it. 

The graphics are nicely done, 

with clear and precise shading 

on the little TV monitors, 

although their display is black

All in all a good game, but

Hi, and welcome to 

the latest C +VG look 

at the currently 

growing world of 16- 

Bit Personal 

computers. We've 

already looked at the 

ST market, and have 

come to the 

conclusion that these 

machines are 

fantastic. Now it's the 

turn of the 

Commodore Amiga. 

The Amiga's 

created a lot of 

excitement since its 

launch in 1985. In the 

next few pages we're 

covering the latest 

4 interest 

new packages 

and 

to 

appear. 

Am 

A Tell me how you feel? 

Gutted! That's going to be the 

reaction of some existing 

Amiga owners now they've 

heard about Commodore's

A NEWS 

latest brainwave, the new 

Amigos. Commodore are 

introducing two new Amigos 

this year, the A500 and the 

A2000. 

Ft 67/110 

of the ame 

Billed as - 

Home The Micro", this A500 

machine U l t is i a cheaper Amiga, 

and 

m 

about 

a t e 

time too. The price I 

paid for my Al 00 was a bit

CE 

1 

steep, but I'm glad to see that 

other people will soon be 

joining the Amigo ranks. 

The A500 will sell for 

around E570. This machine 

will have 512k of RAM, 

(expandable to one megabyte) 

a built-in double sided 800k 

disk drive, and it will also 

feature Kickstart on ROM. 

Inside the A500 you hove 

exactly the some stuff as the 

Al 000, except the chips 

maybe a different shape. This is 

• Amiga A2000 

because they have dropped 

the 'Proper Computer' look in 

order to make the A500 look 

like a Cl 28. This is one feature 

which I don't like for one 

reason — the ports. 

The ports on the A500 are in 

different places to those on the 

Al 00, which means some 

peripherals already available 

will not fit to it, this is a great 

worry for new A500 and 

existing Al 000 owners, like 

me.

The problem for the existing 

Amiga owner is that if the 

A500 catches on, any new 

add-ons will be built with this in 

mind, not the A1000. This is 

immensely irritating as Amigos 

were not exactly cheap when 

we bought them. 

The problem for A500 

owners will be whether or not 

the hardware people will redesign 

their existing products 

to fit A500s, another worrying 

problem.

The other new Amigo 

is the A2000, which comes 

with all the same graphics, sound 

and stuff as the other two, but it 

has a couple of new interfaces and 

art 'open architecture'. 

This means that you can plug 

in various boards, one of which 

enables it to emulate a IBM PC. 

The A2000 has more 

memory than the others, it 

comes with one megabyte as 

standard. This is mainly for the 

fact that it is a business 

machine, and you need lots of 

RAM. This con be expanded to 

a huge five megabytes. 

The machine also comes 

with the usual double sided 

880k drive, but it has room in 

the body for more drives. 

So with all this being 

launched, there must be an 

Amigo for you. There should 

be about 300-400 titles 

available when the A500 hits 

town, more than enough to 

choose from. As for the 

A2000, it's already in the 

shops, selling for E1,259.

as well as ported back out to 

another source. An exciting 

range of effects become 

possible, from real time 

movement with graphics on 

top to animation taking place 

in front of actual settings and 

landscapes_ The Genlock is 

fully provided, with an RGB out 

port, a composite Video Out 

port, four inputs for audio and 

two outgoing. 

•With so many things going 

on, additional memory 

becomes vital. One way to get 

a bit more comes free when 

you install the Kickstart 

Eliminator Kit, from CMI. 

These are a set of ROM chips 

which must be soldered onto 

the Amigo's motherboard. This 

can be a bit tricky, so best have 

it done by someone competent 

if you have any fears. But 

consider what you get once 

that's done. First, you now 

have no need to boot up the 

Kickstart disk, because all that 

1.2 information is now raring 

to go within seconds of turning 

on the computer. Plus the 256K 

of special RAM used only for 

Kickstart is now free and 

available. But if you want a 

good chunk of RAM, than try 

the Allegro E RAM board 

from Access Software. The unit 

comes standard with 512K, 

and can handle an additional 

two megabytes. It easily 

attaches to the side with two 

screws in a few seconds 

(through the expansion slot), 

and even derives its power 

from the computer. 

• Sound is something not to 

ignore, The Amigo can play 

great digitised effects, and you 

con create them with Applied 

Vision's Future Sound. 

FS digitises sound sensibly 

and easily. The device is 

scarcely bigger than a 

paperback book, yet it 

manages to include a 

microphone input, the 

sampling device, an audio-in 

jack and volume control (a 

microphone is also included. 

The program disploys a large 

screen which shows the image 

of the sound being sampled, 

and this image can be 

enlarged, segmented and 

dissected as well. Four voices 

are under independent control, 

and the sound rate is 

adjustable. 

• An excellent companion 

to DPII is Digi-Point, from 

New Tek, This is the first 

drawing program that takes 

advantage of Hold and 

Modify (HAM). This special 

moder permits a palette of 

4,096 colours to be on the 

screen simultaneously, and 

enables images to become 

extraordinary. Digi-point can 

take a 32 colour Deluxe Paint 

2 image and add to its range 

of colours, creating greater 

texture and depth.

Bored waiting for the next Indiana 

Jones movie? Never fear, the 

computer game is here! Now you 

can replay all your favourite 

moments inside the Temple of 

Doom thanks to the new coin-op 

conversion on the way from US 

Gold. Let's take a sneak peek 

inside the temple to see how old 

lady is taking to his new role as 

computer hero 

mega-machine like the

a 

colourful action and excitment 

of the original arcade machine 

into the measily memory of our 

Favourite entertainment 

systems? 

Weil, you start by playing 

the game. Yup, it's that 

simple. You get hold of the 

original machine and play it 

until you know every last little 

trick it can throw at you. Then 

you do it all over again! 

Then the blood, sweat and 

tears start as the programmers 

it down to work out the code 

and graphic designers rip their 

hair out trying to make a 

Spectrum look like an arcade 

machine. 

The arcade machine mine sequence. 

They all know that if they get 

It wrong, they will face the 

anger of games addicts like 

you, and a whole load of bad 

reviews in magazines like 

It often takes months for 

programmers to produce code 

that reproduces what you see 

in the arcades. Paragon are a 

relatively new development 

team rapidly making a name 

for themselves with projects 

like Indiana Jones for IS Gold. 

Head man Charles Cecil 

oversees John Prine, Spectrum 

and Amstrad, Chris Brunning, 

C64, Donald Campbell, Atari 

ST and graphics whizkid Tahir 

Rashid. This is the basis of the 

Indiana Jones team. 

After a brief playtest of the 

game at their IA)ndon HQ we 

at C-1- VG reckon you're in for 

a bit of a treat — especially if 

you're the owner of an Atari 

ST. Indiana Jones could just be 

the most playable ST game 

released to date. Big words? 

Well, just wait and see. 

The game is set inside the 

Temple of Doom, the 

labyrinthine underground 

complex ruled by evil Mola 

Ram. 

You'll remember that the 

climax of the movie takes place 

here as Indy attempts to rescue 

slave children from Mola Ram 

and his nasty Thuggee 

henchmen. 

There's a fight through 

mineshafts, a desperate ride on 

Atari ST graphics. 

a mine-railway and a battle in 

(he temple itself. All this and 

more has been packed into the 

arcade and computer games. 

Armed only with his (rusty 

whip, Indy has to rescue rise 

slave children, smashing the 

locks of their cages with a well 

aimed crack of the whip. 

That whip comes in useful 

beating off the nasty Thuggee 

guards. If you're good enough 

you can lash them over the 

edge of a cliff. Otherwise your 

snake-like weapon simply stuns 

them for a while. 

The children are locked in 

individual cages hidden in the 

various levels of the mine 

sequence. This is the first stage 

of the game. And Indy has to 

negotiate rickety wooden 

ladders and rock strewn 

narrow pathways. 

Hit piles of skulls and snakes 

with the whip for extra points. 

Make it through the mine 

and you're all set for the mad 

rollercoaster ride on the mine 

cart. 

Chased by a mad bunch or 

Thuggee guards in a second 

cart you must take ALL the 

right turnings. Make a wrong 

move and the cart will end up 

in the sidings — and you truly 

will meet your doom in the 

temple. 

Manoeuvre your cart so the 

Thuggee's end up in front of 

you and you can have a crack 

at them with your whip. But 

watch your back if they are

Dnes 

behind you — they are armed 

and dangerous. 

Reach the end of the line and 

you come to the Temple itself 

where Indy has to grab the 

mysterious Sankara stones 

hidden beneath the monstrous 

statue of the god Kali. This 

activates the exit doors and our 

hero can escape. To what? 

To do the same thing all over 

again, that's what. To 

complete the game you have to 

play the Mine/Railway Maze/ 

Temple sequence three times 

before you reach the final 

challenging screen. 

Remember the bridge 

sequence from the movie where 

Indy has to fight off hundreds 

of Thuggees on a rickety rope 

bridge suspended over a deep, 

deep chasm? 

Well, that's ss hat you get 

here. Fight you way across the 

bridge— beating off the final 

assault 'tom Mob Ram, and 

you can consider yourself a 

REA!, hero. 

Charles and his Seam at 

Paragon set out to bring you an 

entertaining and accurate 

representation of the original 

arcade game. We reckon 

they've done just that. 

Indiana Jones and the 

Temple of Doom should be in 

your favourite software store 

next month. Go for it!

Conan the Librarian, a musclebound hero who crawled 

out from behind the skirting board in C VG's offices

who are we to argue with someone with a six foot long

• I was interested to read the 

letter concerning compilation 

tapes. Here are my points on the 

subject. Being unemployed and 

maybe one of your older readers 

(21); I can only afford to buy either 

budget games or compilations. I 

won a CBM64 and am fairly new to 

computers. What I would like to 

see though, in the way of 

compilations, is software 

companies releasing games of a 

year or two years old. I know I 

have missed lots of good games 

only having a machine for nearly a 

year, and I would love to get some 

of the old classics, but sadly I 

cannot find them in the shops. 

Shops only seem to stock the latest 

title or those of tvvoithree months 

old. If you could persuade 

companies to release older games 

on compilations, I for one would 

be very happy. This also gets over 

the problem of putting recently 

released games on compilations.

on their excellent service 

concerning your free game offer 

when subscribing to VG. 

I sent off my subscription 

enclosing i5 and said that the 

game of my choice was tkari 

Warriors. After about two months I 

had received nothing but the 

magazines, so I wrote to you 

aksing what had become of the 

game. Very shortly afterwards I got 

a letter from you saying that you 

had put the matter in Elite's hands. 

Only a few days later 

Commando arrived in the post with 

a note saving that lark Warriors was 

to be released in the summer and 

that it would be sent to me then. So 

Elite have taken the liberty of 

sending me the game Commando 

free of charge due simply to the 

summer release date of lkari 

Warriors. As you ( an irnatline 1

• As a reader of VG. I expect 

to dine in a plethora of interesting 

articles and reviews on computer 

'games' and related topics. What I 

do not want to read are the utterly 

irrelevant ''thrash metal" LP 

reviews in your new "music 

mayhem" column. If you must 

feature music, then review 

something new and original and 

not this outdated metal stuff. If you 

can't do that, then please leave the 

reviews to the specialised music 

papers. Besides that you've got a 

great read. Keep up the good 

work. 

Stuart Cortand 

• Conan the Librarian: anyone 

out there got any suggestions on 

what music to feature? 

• I've never had cause to write to 

you before as I've found your 

magazine excellent ever since the 

first issue. 

But, when I saw the section 

marked 'music' in the index I 

thought 'great' a section on 

computer music. Maybe a program 

or two to type in, but what's this a 

music page all about heavy Metal. 

Absolutely ridiculous. Look if I'd 

wanted to read about heavy rock 

I'd go and buy Keranng or 

whatever. Anyway, your computer 

mag is not a heavy metaltrock mag. 

A complete waste of a page if you 

ask me.

I really feel strongly about this. 

DON'T DO it again please. tDon't

• Conan the Librarian: that's 

enough Steven, I believe this is 

what they call free advertising. 

• I think your magazine is pretty 

good, and where I live it is also 

very popular and very ditkult to 

get a copy of, When I do obtain a 

copy however, I usually enjoy' it 

immensely, but I do have a few 

minor complaints to make. 

1. Your competitions totally 

hack me off. By the time I buy a 

copy the competitions are all well 

finished which makes it impossible 

to enter. 

2. The mailbag page is pathetic, 

all it seems to be is a few pages set 

aside for various readers to abuse 

each other and to see who can 

write the stupidist letter!!!• 

3. In the November issue 14 of 

the 29 reviews were written by 

Tim. Tell this Tim that unless he 

stops pulling rank onthe rest of you 

reviewers that you'll go to the 

union. I'd like to seem some

I've never read before about the

your cheque is payable to

Honest. We've got a new 

reviewer, Jerry: Muir, to check 

them out. The Sega hasn't been 

released in the United Kingdom 

yet, Bart. When it is we'll be 

reviewing the games for it. 

• I think your Illa8 is brill! I also 

think you should put the Pen Pa/ 

page in more often as it is a great 

idea, 

I read in a recent mag that 

Gunship is available for the Atari 

800XL. Is this true? If so how much 

will it cost on tape in Ireland? 

Please put me out of my misery and 

answer these questions. 

Shane Cormican

• Conan the Librarian: The Atari 

800XL Gunship won't be out until 

sometime "in the summer," 

according to a velvet-voiced 

MicroProse lady, No news on the 

cost yet. It should he worth 

waiting for, though. 

• I low do you do? am a MSX 

user from Lincolnshire and I am 

wondering why you at C+VG 

never review MS X games. Oh, you 

might mention in the review that 

there is and MSX version about, 

but why do I never see the words 

Version Tested: MSX. 

Do you own and MSX at C+ VG? 

It" so does it have a plug on it? It it 

does have a plug on it do you 

know how to switch it on? I would 

gladly teach how to use and MSX,

cartridges are of top quality and 

deserve to be reviewed_ It is a pity 

they're not Out for the other 

machines, as cartridges or indeed 

in any other form — which is 

probably your excuse for not 

reviewing them, 

Still, there is always Tony 

Takoushi on the back page who 

enioyes a Konami cartridge from 

time to time. Please answer this 

letter, or do I have to move to

• Conan the Librarian: Yes we 

have got an MSX. We have got an 

MSX reviewer. And if you look 

through this issue you'll find MSX 

reviews. So there's no need to 

move to Japan. 

• I think you ought to have more 

coverage of computers such as the 

Electron as they did sell a million at 

Christmas, Also you ought to 

publish all the Microsell you get 

because sometimes I find that more 

interesting than the actual 

magazine. 

You should cut Out the comic 

strips and put all the advertising in 

one section. The reviews also 

should be in one section. 

Sometimes, I feel that there ought 

to be more reviews for the 

Electron. BBC, Vic, Oric etc., and 

less for the Amstrad and Spectrum 

as I find it a bit off-putting when I 

open a computer magazine and 

find it full of information for other 

magazines. 

I like the idea of Arcane Action 

and Next Month on the back 

pages. I just have one more point 

to make — that is the Software 

Chart_ I think that is a good idea, 

but once again you should have a 

chart for my computer. 

I know you will not publish this 

letter as it is not • 

excatly a compliment, 

Julian Tubbs 

london 

• Conan the Librarian: Glad you 

enjoy the microsells, Julian. Even if 

we wanted to we couldn't put all 

the adverts into one section. The 

way a magazine is produced it 

makes it impossible. The reviews, 

however, do tend to be altogether 

and we do carry quite a few for the 

BBC and Electron. When was the 

last time you saw new Vic or Oric 

games, Julian? We can't 

remember. We dropped the charts 

because they: are out of date by the 

time you get to read them. It's one 

of the problems of producing a 

monthly mag. 

• I have been reading your 

magazine since November and 

have found that it is the best all 

round mag available. 

I am the owner of a Spectrum+ 

which I have had since they first 

came out but now I want to get an 

Atari ST. I am mainly a games 

player although I do own and use a 

Kempson mouse with Art Studio. I 

know nothing about STs. so I was 

hoping maybe you could send me 

some information. I will have a 

maximum budget of about £300 

and definitely want a disk drive. 

Danny Beard 

Chesterfield 

• Conan the Librarian: You want 

to know about STs, Danny. Then 

read last month's 12 page ST 

spectacular. There's no doubt it's a 

great machine at a good price. The 

Editor keeps cuddling ours. 

• I am enquiring about the

better place in your mag. 

Now that's off my chest I would 

like to complain about 

Mastertronic , On nearly all their 

games, the screen shots on the 

inlay of the cassette are from 

another machine, giving a false 

impression to the buyer. 

Now onto your mag again. 

Could you start a tip's section on 

the arcade games? We gamesters 

need tips — before we cox k up. It 

could take the same format as the 

adventure Clues. 

One last point, where have the 

charts gone?

- • Lots of companies use 

kkh screenshots from, say a Spectrum 

cgame 

to promote a Commodore or 

Amstrad conversion. It's annoying 

but probably done to cut down on 

packaging production costs. the 

best way round it is to ask to see 

the game before you buy. I've 

already explained about the 

charts. Hopefully, Karl, the free 

in 

arcade booklet which you've no 

doubt already discovered fixed to 

the front of last month's C , VG

your demand for more arcade 

stuff. And talking of arcades

E xclusivel Exclusive! 

&I Tony Takoushi 

picks his nose! 

Wow what thrills 

As you may have 

gathered from the 

above, I am really 

naffed off about the use 

of the word EXCLUSIVE. 

I am sick and tired of 

people making a big 

deal about having 

exclusive this and 

exclusive that. 

Before I go on, I have 

to say I try to get an 

exclusive every month 

for C +VG readers in my 

Hot Gossip page. But, 

apnd it is a BIG BUT, 

'the exclusive is to

te 

if

ne 

satisfy MY need to give 

you something hot and 

new to read about. 

The fact that I may 

have an exclusive on a 

game speaks for itself, 

and the reader will see 

that if he reads C+VG 

and other mags over a 

period of time. 

I do not plaster the 

word exclusive across 

my page even though 

most of my reviews are 

way ahead of other 

mags. Examples of my 

"exclusives" being 

Mercenary / Gunship / 

Killed Until Dead / 

Batalyx 1 numerous ST 

games blah, blah, blots. 

_ 

C+VG's Hot Gossiper 

Tony Takoushl has the biggest eyes, nose 

and mighty mouth in computer games. He 

sees all, hears all and he then shouts 

about it each month exclusively in 

your favourite computer mag. 

So read on for the man 

who shoots from the li 

at the good, the bad 

and the ugly in 

the software 

world. 

• Killer Rings 

can move this around the 

bottom half of the screen 

spewing out death lasers up 

and down the screen. Above 

you there are fat, squat hairy 

looking flies walking across the 

screen_ 

The flies peel off from the 

formation and zoom down on 

you but they swerve and twirl 

The whole situation 

got very petty and 

unprofessional with the 

Sinclair User parody by 

Crash, but this seemed 

to settle the exclusive 

review scene for a 

while. 

Magazines are an 

information service and 

they try to bring you, 

the reader, the most 

interesting info as early 

as possible. The word 

exclusive is to my mind 

most effective when 

used sparingly. 

My criteria in what to 

bring you in Hot Gossip 

is that the game is HOT. 

I will not review a game 

that I do not like. Thus if 

I see a game that I like, I 

will approach the 

author and promise him 

space in Hot Gossip if he 

can give me a scoop. 

Alright, I have let off 

steam, NOW YOU LET 

OFF STEAM. 

Do you give a damn 

whether the reviews 

you read are Exclusive 

or not? 

I would really like to 

know (and most 

everyone in publishing I 

would imagine!) so put 

aside five minutes 

tonight and write to me 

a letter telling me what 

YOU think. 

zipping around the screen. 

On level three you get 

metallic log rolls to shoot and 

they are protected on their 

sides by little shields, so 

accurate shooting is in order. 

Levels five and six have you 

facing the same fat, ugly flies 

again but they ore more 

colourful and a chain of 

bouncing bolls that loop 

around the top row of the 

screen regenerating the flies 

you kill. 

level seven has you facing 

that old brute the Mothership 

and you have to shoot a 

passageway into its hold to 

around you, teasing you to go destroy it. As in the Phoenix 

for them. They also drop lethal , tradition the mothership 

bombs on you and contact is releases hordes of flies to keep 

fatal — you lose one of your 

four lives. 

Your laser can shoot the flies 

and the bombs they drop on 

you. When you shoot either 

bombs or flies they explode 

with zillions of colourful bits 

you on the move and away 

from shooting her. 

Lots of colour, blow away

groovy, groovy music to zap
