After reading your last issue I feel compelled to write to you, it is regarding a letter from a certain Morgoret Shelley. I was astounded by the narrow mindedness of her letter.

My ﬁrst complaints start where she said "youngadults who have wasted their lives playing these games". What can I soy, well how about this madam: Is gaining enjoyment from something really wastingtime? I don't think so. Also, in her letter she mentioned that her son was lost to these games.

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

A MASS EIEBATE?

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

We ore just writing to soy how highly addicted we are to Virgin's Terminator game on the Megadrive and other games of that nature When you reviewed Terminator some time back in the summer of '92 you gave it a measley 43% due to the so called "complete lock of challenge".Well let us state the fact that we both bought the game soon after you incorrectly reviewed it and neither of us computer fanatics have a clue in which way to go because the progrommers have obviously thought long and hard Not an artwork as suchmore of an envelope.

I enjoy your highly opinionated letters page very much each month, but I wont to try and change your attitude on one important point. In the January issue youprinted a letter from a MS owner complaining about people extracting the Michoel out of his machine. You replied in your usual understanding, compassionate and sympatthetic prose, telling him to get lost and siding with the potheads who were insulting his console. In other words, people who own either the Megadrive or the Super NES are cool 'n happenin dudes and people who own the Master System or the NES are Mister Sod. This is crop. A person's character is not measured by the amount of money they have. Such petty prejudicial snobbery is very hurtful, particularly at a time when many people can't afford a place to live, let alone a games console. The vast majority of console owners ore school children and students who ﬁnd it extremely difﬁcult to afford the prices charged by Sego and

Dear Jaz-mania

410h

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

Now there's talk of a 32-bit Sego, and Nintendo will probably announce one in the next few months which will be better. Why don't Sego wait until Nintendo release theirs, and then make a better machine?

Of course, a lot of garners aren't as young as they used to be and can't this horrible "pop music" — there's never a tune you can whistle you know. So it was very nice of that helpful boy scout, Timothy Piper, to send in a cheat to make Ecco a more sedate, quieter game Pouse the game, he says, and press A, B and C together. Once you restart the game, the music should have stopped and the enemies will move slower. What a blessing, what with me lumbago and everythingThesemodern password things ore a bit of a mither aren't they? But still, they're handy for wh comes to cheating. Try entering SHARKFIN at the start of the game and you'll be transported to the, Lagoon level. You'll also have no air bar to worry about, which is nice because I keep forgetting thi breathing, me. You'll also be able to destroy enemies with your sonar by pressing button A straight after button B, so there's none of this charging around business.

However, for the ultimate Ecco cheat, follow this advice. On that new-fa I descripti press A, B, C and START down simultaneously. Now D Whett's on every single level.

The chirpy Welsh blighter h sent us a cheat for inﬁnite energy and air, just like we did in the blitz. Once you've completed level one and the password screen for the next level is on, hold down START and button A. Once the playing screen returns the game should be paused with Ecco on-screen. Press START to unpouse the game and hey presto! Inﬁnite dolphindom is yours.

you'll hove inﬁnite en

Of course, there's always this alternative cheat from Martin Hill. Type in STARFISH on the password screen and press START to commence the game at the Undercaves with inﬁnite oxygen. Mind you, he didn't put his address on the letter. If I'd have done that when I were a lad I would hove been horsewhipped to within on inch of me life, and I would hove been grateful for it too.

Speaking of treaties, young William Habels from Maastricht as found a cheeky little cheat for that top quality shoot 'em up hunderforce IV.

Now when you start the game, Instead of having only one life you are granted free run of 991 °ad job they don't ration space ships anymore David Rodgers, who's forgotten to put his address down, this izzy boy, has got another cheat for Thunderforce IV.

Eeh, there were none of these extra-curriculums and E.L.Os in my day. If I d claimednavetohave seen a little green man I'd hove been thrown into a rat-infested looney bin — and I'd have been grateful for it. Nowadoys everyone's an alien expert, just like Christopher Ferguson from South Shields, Tyne and Wear. He reckons that if you access the options screen, plug the joypad into port 2 and press C, UP, RIGHT, DOWN, LEFT A, RIGHT and then DOWN you'll hear a power-up sound. This means when you start the game you'll be able to skip levels by pausing the game and pressing C, A and B before unpausing.

I remember the hedgehogs we used to have when I were your age. Lovely little green furry things they were, not like these big blue spiky ones you get nowadays. And Wagon Wheels were bigger. Still, that Sonic seems to be quite a popular chap, and no doubt some of you whippersnappers out there will be pleased to see the following tip.

I read in the paper they're putting a Terminator family in Brookside to make it more appealing to evil robot minorities. I don't know, they come over here, they steal our jobs, and. ..well, anyway here's the cheat then. On the Terminator screen, hold down button 2 and press button 1. The screen should go block for a few seconds. When it does press left, left' up, up, right, right, down, down. Two zeros should appear on screen and the level may now be selected using left and right. This procedure also works on the Gome Gear, so it's a family sized jumbo tip, perfect size for those lovely ridiculous tartan shopping bags on a trolley.

gameplay are virtually identical — even the Mode 7 trick for the ground is replicated exactly! However, the game Itself is nothing more than a cut-down version of Street Fighter II. There are less characters, less moves and less backdrops. Having said that though, Deadly Moves is quite smart and very entertaining (especially with two players). However, it is quite a pain that you can only control Joe In one-player mode. What I do like about the game is the reword you get for beating an opponent. All of your slats are signifiantly increased, turning our fighter into an even eoner fighting machine. Any rood up, for beat 'em p fans, Deadly Moves is ell worth taking a look at expect a game that's good fun and initially very compelling, but don't expect anything as good as Street Fighter II, that's all.

Of c who's heard Peter Pa nows magic fireball-spitting sword of doom. Well, anyone who's read the instructions to Hook knows about Pans fireball-spitting sword of doom. See, when Pan were a lad and used t play pirate-baiting, a magic sword was ju accessory to hove, as well as signifying hi superiority over the other Lost Boys. Whe Never Land, the sword fell into other ds, namely those of Rufio, the new leader the Lost Boys. In order to reclaim his chopper Pan must fight in a duel ogoi io, the winner of which claims the wea• bla itself is pretty darned snazzy, firing short-range high-power fireballs. The only problem is the slippery handgrip which causes Pete to drop the sword whenever he's hit, However, the clever hacking implement generally waits further on in the level Panners to recollect.

You can cook dinner in it, play tennis if you've got two of them, or put them on your head and play army.

However, for true film-style atmosphere put the sound through the headphones. The soundtrack to Hook is absolutely stunning, a full orchestral affair which captures the tone of the game excellently. The speech is also great, very clear with a little reverb adding that "cinema acoustics" effect, although the acting is pretty useless. However. CD sounds are supposed to be Impressive, that's nothing new — what about the game? Well, that's where Hook stumbles. It would actually be a really good platform adventure game, but for a few , small difficulties. For starters it's a bit slow, d the controls certainly aren't as respone as they could be. The other minus point concerns the frustrating "Ha ha, now you die!" no-way-out situations the game seems to throw at you at least once per level. Things like the mermaid on level five who grabs hold of you and guides you straight into all the bombs you've been trying so hard to avoid. Hook isn't a bad game, it's actually quite good fun when it's not getting under your skin, and it's certainly one of the better CD releases in comparison to garbage like Earnest Evans, but there are better platform games available for the standard Megadrive

The game itself is not that bad, but n I quite enjoyed Hook on the Super NES hen it was released a year ago, of which this a direct reproduction — right down to the nnoying bits, like the swarms of killer bees t get you every time (remember that bit from • ﬁlm?) and the way Pan dawdles through levels.

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

For yes, thanks to the power of CD technology the full orchestral score for the film has been lovingly adapted to fit the game. Each level has a different theme, each of which sounds absolutely pitch perfect. There ore loads of digitised graphical sequences from the film, along with on all-new computer generated scan around Hook's pirate ship as it soils through the digitised skies of London! Sadly though, licensing the odors voices from the movie was too costly and, as such, the copious quantities of speech in the game ore read out by rather less skilled actors.

The ﬁrst is called 'Arcade', because its quite close to how orcade boxing gomes work -- hitting a button launches a punch. The other choice is simulation, which is a bit more interesting.

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

However, this land of nod is country terrorised by the evil Phantom, who's decided to nick the mystical crystal of well-being and thus rule the kingdom. All the minions of the land are now the Phantom's stoves — a situation that freedom-loving Mickey ﬁnds unacceptable.

However, once I got into it, I discovered a game that was fast and packed with action. The graphics are very good for the 8 somehitwe,hinmacbit-brilliant animation and vibrant backdrops. There are loads of levels to conquer, and the puzzle elements of the game sometimes require you to retrace your steps to previous levels to find new objects and stuff. The inclusion of magical items to use is a significant touch — I particularly like the potion that shrinks Mickey down to a fraction of his normal size. This ;s definitely better than Mickey Mouse I, and well worth buying as soon us It hits the shops.

Mickey Mouse Il SystemMasterlsgaming at its very best. Heaps of imagination has gone into making this a really fun and challenging game — bottombouncing your foes to oblivion is a particularly nice touch. The sprites are huge and clearly defined, the backgrounds predominantly gorgeous and the animation is second to none. There's loads to do and explore, tons of puzzles to work out and unlike the Megadrive's World of Illusion, this definitely doesn't suffer from being too easy. Basically, anyone with a Master System should snap this up as soon as it hits the street, it's well worth During the quest, Mickey picks up various objects that could prove useful in his coming adventures Look out for magical flutes that whisk you out of danger, and for a magical shrinking potion! Some of these items are essential to progress. The shrinking potion is required to successfully complete the cavern stage — a network of tiny tunnels that the normal-sized Mickey is unable to

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

PRICE 9.99

Ekitman is directed through the many platform locations and defends himself against the Penguin's Red Triangle Circus Gang in the name of peace and justice for all. Five stages of possible high-ﬂying heroism or humiliation await.

Either the citizens of Gotham city are failing to pay their poll tax or the metropolis' government are spending the cash elsewhere, Whatever the situation there isn't a street in the place that isn't pocketed with pot holes or completely unsurpassable because there's absolutely nothing left — not a trace, This problem is of no concern to Batman, of course! Rather than sit staring into the gloom of these frequent pits, swinging his block boots and worrying how on earth he is expected to give chase with this in his way, he uses his grappling hook. With this he is able to deliver himself to the further reaches of any pith:unlike problems.

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

RIC pre-production versionof the Game Gear cart basically it's the same, without the excellent ﬁne tuning, without the decent graphical effects, without the same level of fob playabili Whatty really frustrated me was that Batman died on contact with any enemy this just made the game especially frustrating for me. It's a shame really. If the Master System version hod received the some level of care and attention as the Game Gear cart, this would have had a far more welcome reception. As it is, I can't help but feel disappointed.

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

Basically, I'm a II shocked at the so that is Master System Batman Returns. I had expected something very similar to the Game Gear version which was excellent (if a little easy). This looks

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

Well, G-LOC on Megadrive doesn't have the fancy hardwore, but maintains the basic garneplay of the original, which is a never-ending supply Of enemy ﬁghters and bases to be shot down against a strict time limit. The state-of-the-art in arcade aviation is a carrier launched joyride of murder and mayhem. Enjoy.

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

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

With Ecco the Dolphin, Sega proved that on underwater game can work incredibly well — unfortunately, The Little Mermaid doesn't. Even allowing for the fact that it's aimed at younger players, a game that can be finished in 20 minutes flat has got to be a waste of dash. Although graphically it's okay, the gameplays samey and tedious with little challenge involved. A mentally deflective sheep might gain a modicum of enjoyment out of this but anyone else keep away!

Each level is spread over many screens, so getting lost isn't too difﬁcult. Luckily, a map is at hand. Pause the game then press button two to bring up a sonar map where you are marked as a red spot, captives as green spots, and the level boss as on unmistakable red cross.

Ariel has three pals to rely on, when the task in hand becomes too much for her, She calls them by holding button two and moving the jawed. Each direction releases a different creature. Sebastian the Crab scares any offensive creatures from the area_ The Digger Fish's talents ore used on the sea bottom he scours the sandy surface for hidden treasure, Finally. Flounder is her youthful pal who is able to shift the heavy rocks that Ariel cannot pass. But the mermaid only has a limited number of these creatures, as they ﬂoat away after completing their job.

The Little Mermaid worked well as a ﬁlm, but doesn't really cut it Os a game. Basically, there's not enough to be done, with only four empty levels to ﬂoat through. It's a sort of cut down Ecco, but the cuts have come in the playability and challenge departments. The control is also annoyingly sluggish, coupled with jerky scrolling.

The graphics ore quite nice in places, but that's no reason to pick up a Game Gear effort which should last a day tops.

Surely one of the conditions for becoming a ﬁghter pilot in the US Air Force involves having your entire stomach removed! How else can a man or woman, cope with the gut-churning rigours of the common or garden sortie? Keeping out of danger in the air means evasive action where heat-seeking enemy ore concerned, and general ducking-and. An nom of life_greservation.

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

ve had the misfortune to lay my eyes n in the past three years. Even Dark Castle has more pulling power than this collection of abominable sprites! Once the ghable, lerkily-animated intro sequence passed, and suitably ignored, the action takes off and then nose-dives immediately. All that is required is to bank left or right the whole time and wait until the computer Socks on to a target — with on infuriating bleep no less — then press the missile button. That and the occasional roll to avoid the dopey enemy artillery. It might be nice, then, to observe some pretty scenery as boredom knocks at the door. Yet no! Every location looks exactly the same as the last, apart from the ugly range of colour schemes, allowing boredom to stroll in, sit down and put his feet up for good. Everyone in the ofﬁce who has played this game has walked away looking like a vacuous zombie, with stark disbelief radiating from behind glazed-over eyeballs! To mention the diabolical sounds in Afterburner Ill would be like kicking a man when he's down wouldn't it? Well the sounds are ﬂippin' disgraceful too! I've never heard such a racket! Afterburner Ill is the worst game on the Megadrive, let alone the Mega-CD.

As the name of the game indicates, the F-14 is loaded with an awesome Afterburner facility that 15exploited whonovor evasive action is called for. Hit the appropriate button and the F-14 streaks into the horizon leaving the doddering opposition to ﬂounder in its woke!

The disc box boldy announces 'A superjet simulator', and you just might be led believe it, considering Afterburner11111has been trumpeted as the great 3D ﬂying, 'super-real'isultra-cropcartmuch-too-technical-to-be-bunged-on-a-oh-game.Thepainfultruth—it'smorethansuper-real.AfterburnerIIIincredible,butonlyinawaythatmakeswonderhowitcouldhavebeensodlymuffed.Noneofthesprite-scalinggo-CDtomfooleryisinevidence,aslandtwo-colourbackdropsshufﬂepast,blobspassingfortrees,houses,

missiles, planes... Graphically this effort makes the Quickshot Supervision look hi-res. Well, at least the sound will be good... Wrong! CRI must have nabbed the rights to all those tunes they play with Ceefax pages or the Test Card, because they sound exactly the same. The speech is crapola for a CD system. But the game! Man, the game completely does your head in because it just isn't there. Endless afterburners, endless missiles and an endless procession of jets that appear and disappear in a second. This is not gameplay! Let's be honest, the Mega-CD hasn't stirred waters abroad that much, and it's going to bomb even faster here if this is the standard of software support — because this dog is an affront to console games, even by 8-bit 11standards.Hittheafterburner,

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

Outrun 2019is a crossOutrunbe andthe thetheideas.verygotgameF-Zero.NESSupergame,ThehassomegoodIlikeideaofsuspend-ed motorways and the trans-parent roads — both of which ore probably going to be copied. However, the game Itself has a number of irritating faults. First of all, there's the fact that the game is so easy. In EASY and NORMAL modes, it's a doddle to complete. Only HARD has any challenge whatsoever. What a rjwaste. I grew bored of the game very quickly. The only difference between each stage is the scenery — and even that is re-used God knows how many times during the game. Also, the gameplay itself is remarkably limited. Apart from overtakiiing other cars and taking corners, there's very little to keep you occupied. Outrun 02 19's saving grace is that it is quite playable and easy to act into. Tho ereskiam ic, ,k enjoyment is just too shortlived. Other than besting your previous performances, there's nothing to bring youback.

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