SOCCER SUPERHERO
• GAZZA! Rivalling the Turtles in the popularity stakes is madcap soccer star Paul 'Gazza' Goscoigne and he's back on the Speccy soon with a new all-oction footy game called Gazza1 from Empire It's not an update of Empire's Gazza's Super Soccer from lost Christmas but a brand new production that promises to take playability into a new league! Pockea with arcade action, the pitch is viewed from overhead and scrolls left to right as you take control of Gazzo belting up and down the pitch at a blisteringiy fast rote. Don't worry if you reckon you're not up to Gazza's standard — Gazza! has
nine skill levels (from Sunday league to International) to pick from, ana your mate can join in the oction using the two-player option. Other game features include an overlaid miniscanner of the pitch showing the players' positions, variable strength shots, corners, free kicks, tackjing, penalties, throw-ins, goal kicks and more! The programming team. Active Minds, have taken o good look ot all the other footy games out there and reckon Gazza! is going to beat the lot! With a simple control method and very fast action, it could be a World Cup winner — find out the results next month!
