As you start to win races ond accrue some cash, you can trade in your bottle-damaged Shuriken 500 for newer, better machines. Can you get your hands on $38000 required for the ultimate in the bike technology? Will you be able to ride it to victory in the most taxing race of all time?
it is one year, almost to the day, II since 1991's Road Rash tournament - the ultimate biker's championship! As you may imagine, just like the world championship races, the object is to travel across a circuit, using your skill (and your bike) to emerge victorious! The difference is that Road Rash races ore set on highways, in amongst the normal traffic. The other difference is that any form of violence against another biker is allowed, and indeed encouraged!
Three different modes ore available. Single player mode is much like the original Road Rash. There ore two split-screen two-player modes, detailed later on in the review.

rm a mega Road Rash fan, having played and completed the original game many times, so I was especially looking forward to this sequel. Having seen it and played it, I'm both relieved and disappointed. I'm happy to say that Road Rash II is better than the original, with faster gameplay, more taxing opposition and more bikes! The two-player modes are excellent as well - the split-screen action is mega fast and highly furious with no sign of slowdown. So why am I disappointed as well? I think it's because the actual concept and execution of the game is no different from the original game. In fact, if you own the original and aren't going to use the two-player option, I would have a few reservations recommending it because the changes aren't really that noticeable. However, judged in its own right, Road Rash II is the most fun, exciting rood racer available for the Megadrive.

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

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

I would just like to soy what a prat Gregory Marsh from London is who wrote in saying that all us console chops (and chopesses) are kids. I am 14 and have a Megodrive, Master System and NES which I enjoy playing on very much. I buy a lot of console I magazines, and I rim a regular reader of MEAN MACHINES SEGA cos it's on ace mag. However, I do not refer to myself as a kid just because I " ed in video

I am a bit annoyed at the moment about wife a few things, but I won't go rvto any of them except this one because the others are not to do with video games). Game licenses. What is it with the people who make video games, these days? They get terrific licenses and then stuff them up. Terminator, Navy Seals and Star Trek ore prime examples but then they ignore the potential of some excellent action movies, and produce games of Hudson Hawk, Dorkman and Moonsvalker. What about good films like DeIto Force, The Punisher and how about the fabulous Akira? There could be a Road Rash-esque section on the motorbikes, a Crackdown type section looking for Tetsuo in the hospital, and a shooter with the big laser cannon, and eventually Tetsuo Buthimself.with such great games like Streetfighter II about, one realises how good video gomes con be, so it is sod that the people who make games seem to be just churning them out, often just to make money without thinking about the players. I may drop by if ever get to England. Until then may the Force be with you, and may Jeremy Beadle's car explode with him in it.

I think this is wrong, you buy a machine for games not for freebies_ All the Megodrive owners needn't worry about the Super NES invasion, so stop writing in to complain about it, Anyway, the Megedrive hasp heaps of games and the Super NES will only hove 25 games available by Christmas in Australial Thanks for reading this letter, you can insult me now because I hove finished.
but to my surprise all that was there was Gear and AAegadrive. Surely you could have found even one game for the Master System? Besides that I was quite pleased with the video, so howz about one every 4-6 months? While on the subject of consoles could you tell me the best footy game on the Megadrive and SNES and if it's not much bother, a good golf game for both as well (as I will be getting either a Megodrive or SNES within the next two months) Diolch yn fowr (thanks a Marklot) Wheeler, Gwaelod-yGarth, Wales

Dear YOB Is this letter the shortest letter you ever Sreceived?Wilson, W Midlands
for is to soy how brill your video was. Truthfully I was expecting one of you lot to bore us to death, instead I was amazed because I was totally and utterly gutted because of the quality of the video produced. In simple terms, no rubbish Sonic 2 looked to be amazing and so fast, but at the other end of the scale was Tazmanio on the Game Gear. I've seen some sad games,but this takes the award for saddest of the year, I would say the game looked and sounded like a load of old rabbit droppings! As MEAN MACHINES SEGA is for ALL Sego consoles I was expecting some Master System stuff as well, SEGA
Mario Nicholas, Cheshunt, Herts YOB: First of all, the video an extra E2, since the norrno price1 of the magazine is just under E2. Doh l Secondly, it's one-off. We wanted to give you readers the chance - and it's the ONLY chance - to actk see and hear Sonic played before the gam. eased. If you didn't war video, you shouldn't hav ght, it in the first plate.

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

When he sucks you towards him, press LEFT but don't try to attack or jump. When he shoots snow up into the air, stay still and two flakes should land either side of you. When he jumps away, jump and kick him. In doing this, you should avoid three smaller snowballs. Use this method to dispatch the Great Woolly.

For this creature be sure to keep Chelnov's feet firmly on the ground when confronting the beast head on. Otherwise Chelnov can look forward to a black and dusty future as Charcoal.

The Spiked Balls ore the most useful weapon but only if they're powered up to their full potential. Otherwise Chelnov's pretty much stuffed anyway (to be honest). Once he has been destryed in a moss of flame the war has only just begun. A hideous head emerges from the wall. Below this is a blue heart. Blow this away while dodging the blue bolls that are spot from the head's mouth and foil from the ceiling. After much dodging and a weaving the Head leaves the wall attached to a similarly grotesque, armoured body on silt like legs. It is neccessary for Chelnov to sustain his fire at this monster's head to ovoid being trampled underfoot. The boss seperates from it's legs amid the punishment of Chelnov's fire and drags Chelnov with it to the pinnacle of the Statue of Liberty. Here Chelnov and the boss battle it out to the last. Chelnov needs to fire at its head to bring about the ultimate destruction and save his sister, not to mention the world.

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

1_ Go for energy first. Either buy a half-heart and a whole one, depending on how much energy you have remaining There ore occasions when going to get as many bullets on-screen as possible by investing in this piece of Cannons ore well worth getting hold of. They dispatch the meanies that got through the sideshot and leave your main shooter clear for dealing with boddies head-on. that you're given one automaticolly near the end of stage one! Double shot. This is well worth getting hold of as it doubles your main shooter's power - for better than a power-up. Lasers come in handy for blowing up the bosses, but they aren't really much cop for the main blasting action. Treat yourself to one as a treat. Any cash you've got left over should be spent on power andups-speed-ups.

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

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

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

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

In the two-player competitive mode Sego have added yet another new feature for Sonic and Tails to fall out over, namely the vice-versa icon. Represented by a plus and minus sign, this nasty piece of work assures a sooner than expected win or on unlikely loss for whoever picks it up. Basically the itions of Sonic and Miles ore exchanged ebody floundering on a bed of spikes end up sprinting across the finishing ne as their opponent gets quite a nasty shock.

None of the criticisms of the original apply here: Sonic Ills faster, slicker, more colourful, louder, bigger and much, much tougher than the original. There's no way even Sonic experts could call this easy! The perfectly graduated difficulty eases you into the game, and once in you're hooked. Bye bye dinner. Cheerio bedtime. So long weekend. I was hooked, and how! It's packed with features, has loads of secrets, and rounds it all up with a superlative twoplayer mode that'll have your friends queuing round the block to play. Brilliant! If you miss Sonic II you should be committed to a loony bin!

Perhaps some of you have heard rumours about a new character in Sonic II nicknamed Two Tails?. He is, in fact, called Miles and has unfortunately been nabbed by the dastardly Dr Robotnik. This is a crying shame because Miles is Sonic's best friend and there's one thing to get Sonic all mad it's the nalla of his best friend called Miles. This means that Miles is conspicuous by his

Sonic the Hedgehog of course! No-one quite knew what to expect of this character when he first raced onto the scene a little over a year ago, but he took the gaming world by storm!

First let me tell you that Sonic II received a lot of admiring glances from people in the games room when it arrived. Then I told them that it was the Master System version I was playing and watched as their jaws hit the carpet. Sonic has given Master System owners something to sing about once again. Sega have pulled out all the stops and truly let rip in Sonic's second race across the boards. As soon as the battle for Tails' freedom commences the action is literally red hot and the gameplay mega slick. Different modes of transport are available to Sonic, which spice things up no end, injecting new life into Sonic's already impressive repertoire. It's also refreshing to find that the endof-level-bosses are a variety of giant robotic animals instead of Dr Robotnik every timethe performing seal is hilarious. I was disappointed to find that the special zones have been excluded this time around but then who needs 'em when the quality of the game is so good anyway.

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

People would think you mad if you were to describe to them that you just saw a cool blue hedgehog flying past on a hang-glider. Yet this is exactly what can be seen in Sonic II. Having failed numerous attempts at flight using balloons, for obvious reasons, Sonic takes to the skies beneath the wing of a hong-glider. In some instances Sonic con manage well enough without this piece of kit. where flying is necessary to complete the uninviting rough terrain. The best results takes a huge run up to gather speed and

Once the fine blizzard of pretty characters and backdrops has cleared there isn't much worthy of mention. No doubt the lives of many thousand Macaulay Culkin fans will be brightened should they receive this game for Christmas, yet , ullness is sure to prevail in a veryart time. The sledge scenes are ry uninspiring as are the tedious, pstick excursions in each of the ses. I really couldn't give a hoot as to how many houses got flooded by the Wet Bandits, nor how many times they pinned Kevin to the wall. Then, finally, when the police arrived I was neither happy or sad, just glad that the torture was over. There is a small amount of fun to be had in devising a new and interesting weapons to blow the boddies away, turning them into snowmen is quite a laugh (ha, ha) but that, as they say, is it.

Kevin uncovers snowballs, cools and Super Balls by doing this which he is able to use as ammunition against the two crooks. Such sledge abuse is also a good way of following the Wet Bandits' van around.

Pahl So many bad things to say; not enough time to say them. Once again a nonsense of a game arrives to odd to the Master System's blushes. Just about everything here is unsatisfactory. The graphics are dismal, flickery affairscreating such scenic delights as "Pathetic luke" and "very empty desert'''. At one point you are advised to ovoid a landslide. What landslide! It's physically impossible to have one when the courses are flatter than Fanny Craddock's pancakes. Fans of equal proportion will be glad to hear the gameplay is directly comparable to the look - pure smeg. You slip and you slide in a fashion more becoming a toboggan than a high-speed sports car, and find yourself in ludicrously unavoidable crash situations. Not to worry! You can continue at top speed most of the time after crashing. What a comedy of errors of Dick Emery proportions. The lack of challenge is normally a down point, but here at least it means the whole debacle is over with as quickly as possible.

Chase HQ wasn't too bad, but his is a veritable skid panand I'm not talking oily roads. The sprites are flickery, the 3D update is poor and the landscapes are bland and featureless. As well as looking crap, it plays crap as well. Let's ignore the general faults such as the naff collision detection, rubbish controls and the fact that the car careens through objects and out of crashes at top speed and concentrate on the real problems - the difficulty setting. For a start you're given lashings of time to race down the simplistic roads. Then, when you reach the enemy car you discover it's about as robust as a wet paper bog and smashing it off the rood takes little or no effort. Even hopeless players should be able to finish the game within a few hours - experts should take a couple of goes! Put a couple of quid in the coin-op and buy something else.
SCI drivers face all the complications thrown up by a deteriorating transport infrastructure (ie. bad roads) which stand in the way between you ond your 'collar'. The highways in this game are uniformly deadly. Roads tend to narrow without warning, and plenty of objects liner them like work signs and bushes in desert areas. Off-rood is even more dangerous There you con wrap yourself round a lamppost or a cactus whilst avoiding the embrace of a greyhound bus.

t isn't often that the mighty Harrod admits to being severely tested by a game, yet he quite openly stated that he'd almost met his motch with Bio Hazard's store of the grotesque. He finished it, of course, but us mortals have really got our work cut out, believe you me. There's never a level goes by without something truly horrible floating on screen to scare the life out of you before mercilessly finishing you off. Even with two people joining forces to exorcise the sickening scum, the mission at hand is nigh on impossible. In fact it seems easier on your own as there is less confusion. Sometimes you're not quite sure of who's where and what's to avoid. Yet Bio Hazard is a welcome reassurance that Sega know exactly what we want and are starting to give it to us. In fine style! The stylish and varied gameplay, due to the choice of ships so prevalent in Bio Hazard coupled with the best sprites I've ever seen on the Megodrive, nay anywhere, make this an absolute necessity.

Regularly, coloured gems float by you as you ploy Bio Hazard. Seize them! They are power-ups for your ship, but make sure you collect them in an order that will benefit your ship. Each of the colour codes adds a weapon power to your drone ship - the tiny satellite craft that flies with you. Each of the four gems (excluding green) creates two separate effects, depending on what ship you have chosen. Here is that odd on armoury in full:

The initial levels are mildly impressive, but as you progress you realise just how spectacular some of the action is. Scenes like the underground tunnel and the underwater level are minor classics. The graphics ore excellent, with some of the best designed and animated sprites on any system. The sound is equally brilliant, perfectly capturing the sinister, slightly strange feel of the whole game. What will really appeal to many, I suspect, is that Bio Hazard is rock hard. Even easy Is a challenge and a half, and no-one is going to grumble about another pushover on the Megadrive. For once the difficulty level has been well-balanced with an adequate supply of continues. To round it off is the two-player option, which can be a bit hectic with till those bullets flying, but fun nonetheless. Maybe a bit off the wall for some mainstream players, but this will assuredly become a cult classic for blaster fans.

Blaze and Axel's mission is simple - walk around town killing everyone. After sufficient people hove been slaughtered, Mr Big himself must be laid to rest so the few citizens still living con rebuild their lives in peace.EVERYBODY'SFIGHTIN'KUNG-FU
Game Gear owners need a decent beat 'em up for their pint-sized machine and Streets of Rage fits the bill quite nicely. The graphics are Incredibly close to the Megadrive version, with all the moves of the characters and the backdrops crammed In. The sound isn't as good as the Megadrive, obviously, but the tunes ore still pretty good and the effects do the lob admirably. As for as gameplay goes, Streets of Rage Is a much tougher game than the Megadtive counterpart. This is down in part to the problems of sprites ganging up on you when you're helpless (see Radian's comment for the full description of this problem), but mostly it's because the enemy sprites seem to be a lot more "intelligent" than their Megadrive counterparts and less susceptible to your grabbing attacks. With two-players participating, Streets of Rage is even better, making it a decent enough beat 'em up for Game Gear owners starved of fighting games.
Both Blaze and Axel are a bit tasty with the old kung-fu skills, although each of them has their own repertoire of moves. Axel, the strongest, has a flying knee jump, a power uppercut and a shoulder throw to his name, plus a spinning backfist to protect his rear. Blaze, the fastest, has a somersault kick, flying kick and rolling throw along with a reverse roundhouse to put paid to sneaky backstabbers. Both characters can also let loose on impressive series of punches, plus execute a powerful piledriver when grabbing on enemy from behind,
ission of destruction and death through a major American city may sound like a rather sick license of the LA riots, it is actually a conversion of the acclaimed Megodrive beat 'em up. Streets of Rage is the story of two ex-cops, Blaze and Axel, who are determined to smash the corrupt local government led by the nefarious Mr Big who, surprise surprise, happens to be a criminal mastermind.
Alters airplane spins were the talk of the neighborhood.
Unfortunately for our heroes the rest of the police force (and all the inhabitants of the city it would seem) are siding with the evil kingpin,

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

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

The way in which some of the players on the receiving end of a heavy tackle get token down is quite worrying. In fact it's a wonder that they ever recover. Players can consider themselves fortunate to get away with their helmet being knocked off when there is the possibility of on unceremonious disrobing ot the hands of a rampant linebacker. Shoulder pods, shirt, shin pads and pants get strewn everywhere as the unfortunate lad is left wearing just his underwear in full view of the stadium's spectators.
cost me 50p to find out that the arcade game was a very limited, highly simplified and not particularly enloyableversion of American Football. It takes E40 to find out the some thing about this On the surface the game looks great. The visuals ore very good, the sound is neat and there ore some brilliant presentation touches that are very similar to the arcade game. The problem is, though, that the gameplay is very poor indeed. There are only thirteen play actions, there's very little difference between the teams, the game difficulty is moronically low (even on the hardest setting) and the action itself is simplistic beyond belief, with little skill required to score touchdowns or stop an oppenent's offen-sive drhre. Even with two players, the lack of excitement, variety and depth means that it only takes a couple of hours to get completely bored of this. Super High Impact is all frills and no substance - if you want American football action, try any Megodrive American football game other than this.

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

The gods are angry... angry. In fact, they're so positively irate about the foul goings-on in a certain Greek city, that they've decided to unleash a hideous plague of foul beasts onto the metropolis. As you might imagine, upon seeing the satanic hordes the city's inhabitants take flight, leaving the place deserted. A hero is required to pock up his most devastating weaponry and enter the infested city, dealing out destruction to any of the demonic minions who cross his path. You are that hero!

I've been looking forward to this one for ages. I thought the Amiga game was decent, let down only by a lock of speed. This is no simple port-over. Renegade have recruited wellknown coders Graftgold to do the honours, and they've done a fine job. It's fast, smooth and well executed, with stylish graphics and some very decent music (shame about level one's tune, though. What went wrong?). I did have problems with the control method. Getting on to ladders is a real pain with the joypad and takes ages to get the hang of. Despite that though, Gods is a super skillful game, boasting weeks of arcade action and devious puzzling to keep you occupied. However, Sega Europe don't want to release it for some bizarre reason, so you're going to hove to buy on import copy if you want to play It! Doh! Well worth investing in if you're after a game that lasts weeks longer than the dull, easy scrolling shoot 'em ups every other Megadrive game seems to be.

It wos a tense tea-break for Bond and M at their isecret HQ in London, England. The normal old boy pery between the dashing secret agent and his ss was much subdued by the circumstances of that day. As I am sure you ore well aware 007, lost night the arch-villain Ernst Blofeld successfully hijacked the yacht being used by the forthcoming Miss World competition. As it transpires all the contestonts were on board, every last one including the favourite Miss Brazil, and our own old boiler, Miss UK. It seems they were rehearsing swim-wear and ch bikinis out in the Solent. However, the main tier in hand is to get the gels back, or the bound. will hold the world to ransom for the beauties.

I know you con handle any rprises' our friend Blofeld may have lined up, and t you will act with the greatest propriety towards girls, here is your file on the base'.
The mission notes confirm Bond's worst fears. e island is a massive complex of connected platforms, spread over a huge oreo, crawling with Group Four security guards. Winning through would test his climbing and shooting skills to the limit. He also realised that destroying the nerve centre of each level of Blofeld's complex would need to be done in order to save the world!

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

Bond is under constant fire from Blofeld's security men, all clod in grey, following the usual corporate image of evil villains' fortresses. Each has a regulation pistol and doesn't hesitate to shoot on sight. Inter on special security men in black test Bond's marksmanship to the limit. To balance the odds Bond carries his Walther PPK with him everywhere, with enough ammunition to liberate Bosnial However, be careful, because sometimes Bond has to stop and change on empty magazine, which gives the enemy time to blow him into the middle of next weekl

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

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

The Grey Lancer certainly is advanced. Not only does it possess such sophisticated weapons systems, it also has a variable speed gearbox too! This allows the pilot to alter the velocity of the ship at the touch of a button. Although top speed is the handiest for space combat, there are •imes when slower speeds are essential. One prime example of this is a section on a later level where a number of rocks fly past and there is only one safe spot on screen. At top whack, the screen scrolls too quickly forcing the pilot to duck out of cover whilst there are still rocks about. More safety conscious drivers have plenty of time before the cover scrolls off-screen

Its best point is its different firing modes, but what a shame to only allow the player to pick one mode at a time. Cycling through them mid-game would have added a whole new aspect to the otherwise dull proceedings. Another problem is that you spend more time dodging things than blasting, which quickly gets tedious. The game desperately needs more action.

Calling Grey lancer a shoot 'em up is a bit misleading, as it's more of an avoid 'em up than anything. The amount of time spent dodging debris and twisting through tunnels for outweighs that spent shooting things. This is a real pity actually, because it can get thoroughly tedious. The variable weapons system, although cribbed from Hellfire, is quite entertaining. That said, the weapons are the most entertaining thing about Grey lancer. The graphics aren't that bad, the presentation is fine, and the sound is okay if nothing great. There ore a couple of problems with the playability. Firstly, a credit is a long time to wait to change your targeting program if you make the wrong decision. Perhaps calling up the menu when the game is paused would be a better idea. Secondly, the afterburner trail and the sparkly tracks left by your ship often make it very hard to see just what's going on when the screen fills up. Many fatal bullets remain unseen thanks to the haze of spangly effects, and even some aliens find themselves masked by this screen. However, seen-it-all-before blues are the real down point of Greylancer. Although spotting which game each Idea/alien/level has been stolen from is quite I fun for a while it doesn't excuse the almost absolute lack of original thought which went Into this
Like that kid's wooden horse in the song Two Little Boys, there's room in the Greylancer for two. Lucia, in her wisdom, has opted to bring her gunner chum Ralf Grey along with her to manage the mass destruction side of things. However, most of the work is done by a forgetting computer, which has seven programs, so Roll's duties are confined to things like locking on aim. However, once a main program has been chosen at the beginning of the game it is locked in until the end of that credit. The programs and their applications ore os follows. THINK OF

inkle Tale. What a lovely name. It inspires visions of fluffy cuddly Core Bears on a mission to help old people and make everyone sick with their candy floss cuteness True enough, the star of Twinkle Tale is a sweet little girl called Twinkle. However, this is where the jolliness stops. See, Twinkle is in foct a child prodigy with an extensive mastery of the arcane arts. Not surprisingly this gets her into all sorts of magic-related scrapes, such as her latest escapade which involves four magic gems. Thousands of years ago, there were three primal forces embodied in their rowest form as globes of magic energy. One day the three forces clashed and from the resulting explosion a fourth force, that of pure magic was formed. The blast also had one other effect, which was to transform all four energies into jewels, and from that day each one was guarded by a powerful mage. As is often the case in these situations, the four mages have been kidnapped and the four ultra-powerful magic items have fallen into the wrong hands. It is now up to Twinkle to travel the lengths of the Mystic Kingdom and free the gems before they ore used to wreak destruction throughout the planet.

REVIEWWASEGA109
Twinkle Tale is certainly a bizarre name for such a macabre shoot 'em up, but then again, at least it avoids all the blasting cliches which we're all so tired of. The graphics are superb, with large, detailed sprites and excellent use of colour throughout. Once you get into the game (le about halfway through the first level), the playfield starts scrolling in all directions and the danger comes not only from enemies but from rock slides, precarious winding bridges and traps as much as from the plentiful supply of evil monsters. it's this constant struggle to stay alive, which isn't easy with only one life and a three-hit energy bar, which helps make Twinkle Tale such a great cart. Even on the easiest difficulty setting things are pretty tough; on the hardest it's a challenge to match any other on the Niegadrive. OK, the idegadrive isn't exactly shot, on shoot 'em ups, but with its sprawling play area and challenging gameplay Twinkle Tale is certainly one which you should try out, providing you're not too embarrassed to ask for it In the shop.

However, it is probably the most useful of the lot, allowing Twinkle to dodge without having to worry too much about aiming.
Fires two energy spears straight forward. Powers up to fire three and finally four speors at once. Very powerful indeed , but has the drawback of only firing in a straight line in front of Twinkle and having a fairly slow fire rate.

These guys started by releasing games on the home computers a few years ago, with titles like Rick Dangerous to their credit. Then, they moved on to more sophisticoted games like Corvup, Jaguar and Chuck Rock. These days, they're well into cor.sole development. Having converted Chuck Rock and Corporation to the Megadrive for Virgin Games, their first CD title is none other than Wonder clog!-Hurrah!

Disky Woods is another conversion of a popular Amiga title, INthis time releosed by Electronic Arts themselves. The basic idea is that the Evil Force has token over the kingdom, by imprisoning the guardian monks of the ancient knowledgeor something.Whatthisall boils down to is a scrolling platform game with plenty of running, jumping and blasting. Your task is to dispatch the evil minions and rescue the guardian monks from their terrible fate, Helping you along the way are many chests for you to open °that conyoin bonuses and extra weapons.Thegraphics are excellent, boasting all of the quality animation and definition that made the Amiga game go down so well. But how well does the game ploy? That's a question that we'll be answering soon, maybe even in next month's issue of MEAN MACHINES!

E lectronic Arts ore hopingto produce the definitive American Football simulation in the form of John Madden Football '93. They've taken their awardwinning sim, John Madden '92, and added o whole host of exciting new features.The most obvious addition is the digitised speech that now accompanies some of the more noteworthy plays, and there ore some new crowd noises to astound and amaze Other new features include a split play-calling screen, a "no huddle" offence, and gameplay statistics for each individual player (rather than the whole team as it was in '92).
