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

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

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

peek at the game this month, Bernie and Clyde is looking mega but we'll bring you a full run down in a future issue of MEAN MACHINES SEGA,

But this platform action over stacks of levels isn't such a doddle because Dr Maybe has transformed some of the toys into mutant monsters so it's up to you to use your wits against killer teddies. rescue the pressies and waste the foul inventor. Tune into a future issue of MEAN MACHINES SEGA for further updates.

F(0,7 ;1=7? -rAPICESorgpthing

Just in case you've been living in a cupboard for the last century, here's a quick run down of the plot: The evil Dr Maybe's has swiped all the Christmas pressies from Santo's grotto so the F.1.5.14 secret service has kitted the fearless Robocod out with a special unit allowing him to go out of the water hot on the trail of the unscrupulous doctor.

smells ﬁshy, oh cod wotta whopper!

every kid at some time or other imagines that there's a monster lurking in their wordrobe, however, young Bernie really does have a monster hiding in his. Fortunately this monster is of the friendly variety — an alien coiled Clyde whose planet, Gruel, is sinking fast and is in need of help.

The wicked Kat-0-9-1'61s has taken over Clyde's world, forced a whole nation of little Clydes into the Porridge mines and is ﬂooding the whole planet. Bernie is the beleaguered planet's lost chance ,so diving headlong into one of Barnie's dirty socks (the only in way to travel to Gruel), the dynamic pair go forth. Created by stonking development team, Pat Fox and Scott Williams who spawned Krusty's Fun House, Bernie and Clyde is o Megadrive platiormer with a difference. You play Bernie but Clyde is alwoys at your side and is used in a variety of ways — such as giving you piggy backs and leg ups, kicking him round the screen to help you reach higher positions or using him to mark your position. Wander round the 30 levels, kill boddies, solve puzzles, feed Clyde with bubble gum to make him ﬂy or run faster, collect gems to free baby Clydes — and that's just the platform bits. At the end of each level you go onto a lengthy and extremely tough shoot 'em up section culminating in a battle against the evil Frompussy.ourexclusive

the aliens' ﬁrst attempt on his life, Conrad decides to ploy it safe, recording his entire memory and ding it on to his friend Ian, on moon of Titan. Shortly after, aliens abduct him and comely wipe his memory (fo some reason). But then the order arrives from the supreme alien -- an order that demands Conrad's immediate execution!

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

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

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

Locke° up in the aliens' base, Conrad decides that a jail break is in order. Just as one of the xenomorphs arrives to cart him off for interrogation, Conrad cheekily scarpers, half-inching a ﬁrearm. However, standing between our hero and the next level ore some of the most ﬁendish disintegrator puzzles the game has to offer. One false move and he's atomised!

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

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

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

Although Conrad is free to pick up any items he pleases during the game, there is some basic kit he always keeps about his person. GUN: Essential for blasting any aliens who dare cross his path, the gun becomes less effective the longer you play, with later aliens requiring a lot more HOLOCUBE:hits.

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

DAVIES:PAUL GIBBONCAKKA

It is the 25 of Feb and I have just witnessed the saddest debacle in my life -- Paul Davies on Sonic 2. He is the soddest person since Timmy Mallet and Jeremy Beadle. He has shamed everyone who has anyth,ng lo do with MEAN MACHINES SEGA. So I hove decided, sod Salmon Rushdie, let's kill Paul Davies. Either that or chop off the dangly ports of his anatomy with a pair of rusty shears. Paul isn't completely to blame though, that smelly nob from some other magazine managed to get Sonic to run straight through a wall.

petty-minded, half-assed 'I can't complete Altered Beast' players writing in and talking absolute donkey's knockers. I mean, seriously, who the hell gives a monkey's banana at what Lee Elford thinks of Ecco. Personally I don't care. The opinions of these sod, sad nutters has absolutely nothing to do with us readers. They ore proberbly so cccropp they can't get past the title screen of Sonic. I would like to soy'Sod off and write to some other mags about your personal problems - Nutters!'

As I am a big fan of video gamesand martial arts movies, I was really pleased when I read through the March edition of the action movie mag - Impact. I found out that Chinese studios, Golden Harvest, had bought the rights to Street Fighter and Jackie Chan is incorporating the characters of the game into his new film 'City Hunter'. In one of the scenes Jackie is thrown through a video game screen. He starts to hallucinate and everyone in the room looks like a character from Street Fighter. Jackie portrays E. Ho andIda,has to fight Ken with Guile and Dholsim in the background. Finally, Jockie change.. into Chun Li to defeat Ken. I know this sounds strong° but it's true. Jackie had already incorporatedelements of thr. Double Dragon games into .iis film 'Twin Dragons' if r still don't believeme I suggfau you look through the Mar edition of Impact and

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

Playing very similarly to Lotus Turbo Challenge, but featuring twice as many tracks and better graphics and sound, this is a truly excellent one- or two-player racing game. The challenging, high-speed action is great fun in one-player mode, but, like most games of this sort, it's even better

touch is that the further behind your opponent you get, the faster your car goes, which means the racing is always highly exciting and ultra-competitive. If you've already got Lotus, there's not much reason to buy this. Yes, Jaguar XJ220 is better presented and offers a lot more, but it isn't £40.00 greater. If you havon't, though, and you're a racing ﬁend, this is deﬁnitely worth checking out.

The graphics ore the most impressive part of the package. In single player mode, hundreds of roadside objects whizz past, smoothly scaling. The track itself is hilly and interesting to drive, but moves fluidly and realistically. If there's any graphical flaw, it's in the presentation of the cars themselves, which are a bit bland. This is a shame when the Jaguar is such a stunning car to see in its proper 'flesh'. However, any small niggle points are far outweighed by the lavish presentation, the copious amount of courses and, not forgetting, the track editor that lengthens the game's interest considerably. Oh yes, and the vital split screen mode, that turn a good racing sim into a real contest. A priority purchase for driving fans.

highly suspicious Super NES version! The absence of two characters doesn't subtract too much from the over all effect, that being a close rendition of the original SNK product. There are a surprisingly large choice of moves available, considering the game is limited to only three buttons, one of which is reserved solely for throwing purposes. Each of the special moves are very impressive, although quite fiddly to pull off on the Megadrive's joypads. Joe's Tiger Knee is especially cool! I find that the ability to iump in and out of the background hinders the gameplay somewhat and is something that the conversion would be better without, as with the Super NES. It's quite neat but the player has no real control and this often results in cries of frustration as the chosen hero collides, clumsily with his opponent, though not at the player's bidding. Also there are occasions where a some of the most basic moves seem unresponsive. Generally, though, the fighting action is very satisfying — finishing off an opponent with a spectacular special move is excellent! Whilst Fatal Fury locks the scope for fancy combinations, as with better fighting games of this type, it is still absolutely the best one on one combat game for the Megadrive to date and certainly the most lavishly presented. While I still advise waiting patiently for Street Fighter II, the quality of this conversion is very much in its favour and it stands alone as being a very impressive beat 'em up in its own right.

Spider-Man has to be the comic character ripest for conversion to cartridge. Sadly, in most cases not enough is mode of his extraordinary abilities, and such is the case with Revenge of the Sinister Six. That's not to say that it's really a bad game, as Game Gear platform titles go it's not bad at all, but there's certainly a great amount of potential wasted here. For example, there are very few points throughout the game when you actually need to climb walls, or indeed, sling a web — any size! Most of the action centres around pretty standard platform hi However,links. if you forget about this being a Spidey licence it's a lot better. The graphics are very clear, mostly because of the bright, distinct colour use, and although the scrolling is very fast there's no screen blur. However, the one problem is that the game might be just a little bit too fast for its own good. Everything moves so suddenly it's hard to get a grip on what's going on at times. Mind you there's still a lot going for Spider-Man — it is very enjoyable, and whilst the six levels aren't too long, they do get pretty hard after a while. All in all, not a classic by any means,

Spider-Man titles, companies seem to hove a real problem with making my favourite super hero look cool! This is no exception and I should imagine my Dad would look more convincing in the famous red and blue garb than this sad-looking sprite. The game doesn't play as well as the NES version either as control over his jumping abilities is erratic to say the least: He either jumps on the spot or takes a huge leap with no control over what happens in between! As with the NES version, there is no point in climbing the walls other than frustration with the game! The layout is all too familiar which is not always bad thing if there is something going on to liven things up. Sadly there are few enemies to attack — and even they just hang around exercisingtheir one frame of animation in the most boring fashion possible — so yawns are just queueing up for ﬁrst place on the player's face.

Spider-Man is so named because he has all the powers and abilities of a spider, apart from being able to miraculously appear from under the sofa as soon as you start hoovering. All these powers are represented in the game, so fans of the comics can relive all their favourite web-slinging scenes with eose. Well, in game terms, this means Spidey is a bit of a dab hand at climbing the old walls. This means there are a number of routes through each level. There's the standard running along the ground one, or there's a running along the rooftops or high platforms path. Alternatively, you could combine the tw and just climb your way through. Of course, once you know the k:iyout of each level it's easy to avoid a lot of hazards assumin g

The problem is that it effectively gives you infinite lives — meaning that you can spawn your way through the levels and note down the passwords — it's almost like cheating through the game. Eventually, you find yourself at the Joker.

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

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

Nevertheless, gameplay'swhere it's at and in this case there is nothing much wrong at all. My only problems with the game ore that most of th bosses topple to only a few hits, posing no challenge at all and sometimes the collision detection is slightly dubi cous. However the rest is pure classic platform fun and the strategy required in positioning the enemies for the correct coloured gems introduce a small puzzle element too. This is platform gaming laid bare, allowing the addition o many novel features that always keep things interesting. Five minutes and you're hooked, I

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

However, the Martins' home hoc been under observation by the SCAT (Sega Control Attack Team) since ﬁve other beauties disappeared without trace from that area. Had they checked out the wine cellar the mystery would have been solved since the Martins are in fact vampires with a penchant for bimbo blood and now Sarah has brought some particulady tasty specimens home for tealSCAT agents hove *arched the house and found surveillance cameras and clever traps in eight sections of the house, all run through a control unit in the basement and are protected by on cess code.

Good luck, you'll need it!

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

When your mission begins, the access code that allows you to operate the traps, is set at blue The cunning Martins con, and frequently do, change the code throughout the game to red, green, yellow, oronge or purple. There's no warning that its changing unless you happen to be eavesdropping on the Martins in the right ploce ot the right time. Change the code pronto otherwise Access Denied ﬂashes up, the traps won't open and you're up a certain creek without a certain paddle.

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

Oh Calamity! Oh Dizzy Devil, Plucky Duck and Hamton Pig! Oh Bobs and Fiﬁ and Shir the loonl Only Buster con save you all! Taking place in the secret, treasure islands, Buster's quest for his partners' freedom leads him through perilous pastures, ghost ships and lava pits, not forgetting an ice level!

When the crazy, cartoon action gets too hectic for Buster he whistles for the help of a friend, Everything stops while one of his mates ﬂies or dashes across the scenery, depending on their character, as Buster observes the ensuing catastrophe with glee. By far the cutest of them all is the tiny blue mouse that ﬂoats in beneath a bunch of balloons and sneezes itself off the play area! Falling anvil gags and speedy upheavals ore the other types of service offered by Buster's brave buddies, and all for the bargain price of 50 carrots.

Megadrive suffers from sounds that are a bit rough around the edges, however the effects and melodies in Tiny Toon Adventures are very smooth and crystal clear. In fact it's worth it lust to sit and listen through the sound test, the tunes are that good!

for their, shall we soy, 'verve'. As young Buster is yet clueless regarding the reason behind his boundless energy, he wears it all off by running about at great speed and springing off walls for some death defying leaps_ In tight situations Buster may crawl along the ground, he is also able to use his ears as handles when sliding down ropes.Buster even stands still in an enthusiastic kind of way. Consequently Buster gets bored very easily_ Leave him standing for too long and he pretends that he's fallen asleep — of all the cheek!

pect the most incredible level of challenge m this cart, however this factor is balanced the many secrets and bonus levels hidden throughout the game. Even then the islands are quite large and certainly worth playing through over and over again, if only to witness the superb animation and startling scenery in some of the levels. Grass wavers in the breeze, snow-capped trees are seen as shadows behind sheets of crystal. It's amazing! Yes, it's another platform game but its one of the ﬁnest available for the Megadrive

me to rival it for pure taste value. If there a fault then I suppose that the slide attack ailable to Buster hardly features, if at all — but that's it.

Most of the oction takes place on the city streets but there are those who prefer to take the battle indoors, crashing through the corridors and letting loose in the living rooms of N E Ville's notorious drug barons, pimps, massmurderers, gong leaders — you know the type of thing. Renegade, the coin-op, is notorious for its violent scenes of skull-splitting action and, shall we say, expressive portrayal of unarmed combat. Most notably though is Renegade's less discriminoting attitude to the whole beat 'em up scene, man. It's a no-holdsbarred, dirty-move central, ﬁst fest without a doubt. So, with cotton swabs and TCP at the ready, we present the Moster System version of this depravity to you, oh gentle readers.

Some mutants blending into each other and the background yesterday.

MEGADRIVE

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

TheFORMATIONStacticsscreen shows all the formations available_ Each formation sets up the team for a number of ploys, all following the some theme. For excimple 'Shotgun' formation accesses a number of plays which aim to carry the ball over a long yardage quickly.

auDiaBefore the ploy begins, with the 'snap', your Quarter Back has the option to change tactics with an audible. This is a shout that alerts the players to the new ploy. An audible con change the play, or make the players do a 'nasty'.

John Madden's, but see pastthe cosmetics of the mutant theme, and the similarity of presentation is striking. Conﬁrmed by Rich, I noticed many of the plays were much the same as JM, and the emphasis on stets is maintained here. So really the new features don't really make it that different to be worth getting, unless the oddball style really appeals. As a game in its own right, I confess to being a mite frustrated. The computer controlled players don't seem to follow your play strategies as much as you would like, and this confusion is exacerbated with the crowded display. Passing, also, is very difﬁcult, making audacious plays to long receivers very dodgy. So the game turns into a series of stodgy turnovers. Despite these frustrations, there's plenty of game there to explore, and tactics to learn. I don't think the new scenario is good enough to raise it above

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

really well. The concept of having so many different alien races and surfaces gives the game plenty of variety — something I like to see in games. Mutant League Football does have its faults through. Principally, I think the main fault is that it plays so similarly to John Madden Football — even some of the formations and plays are the same. Also, sacking an opposing player seems to be far too easy — especially against a human player. In a two-player game, it seems to be on endless cycle of swapping possession, with very little in the way of touchdowns. If you haven't got any of the John Madden series of games, check this out. If you're after the greatest simulation of pure American Football, John Madden '92 still rules supreme.

ductive capabilities of rabbits but not many people know that the humble rot 'goes to it' with just as much gusto - if not morel These pesky critters churn them out like a sausage factory.

Deadly weapons aren't the only things stashed in the mysterious purple boxes — there are a whole heap of power-ups to collect in the some manner. These include bags, burgers, drinks and a corkscrew-type thing, all of which give you energy as well as clown-shaped 1-UPs. Blue blocks scottered around ore picked up by standing on them and pressing DOWN. These also act as a useful ladder for Krusty and the rats to reach inaccessible nooks, or to block up broken pipes. Yellow blocks ore kickable but cannot be destroyed. Lostly, by standing on a blue block and pressing DOWN and jumping simultaneously, Krusty jumps much higher and he takes the block with him. There ore also springsenabling him to jump higher still, not forgetting moveoble blowers to blow the rats towards heir goals.

This little-known fact is something Krusty the Clown has discovered to his dismay, as the randy rodents hove chosen his fun house to transform into a rat-ridden maternity clinic with a baby rat dropping out faster than you con say Rat-O-Kill! The place is crawling with the little varmints and it's up to you, as Krusty, to work your way through the 50 plus rooms of hi 5 house of funny business, rounding up all the rats and guiding them to their doom at the hands of a sinister henchman at the helm of the rodent-wasting Machine of Doom. This task isn't as easy as it sounds since the rots are about as intelligent as Norman Lamont on a Wednesday. So by strategically placing blocks, repairing broken pipes, wasting the ill-assorted bunch of baddies the object is to pave the way for a smooth passage to the great rat-house in the

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

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

Do my eyes deceive me? Con this really be an 8bit game? Because looking at this wickedly fun Megadriveswearformpuzzle-cum-plat-rompyoucoulditwastheversion.This -

Krusty's is a bit of on unsung classic, so Master System owners should celebrate the fact that nothing is missing in this conversion. After browsing over the screen shots here it shouldn't need me to tell you that Krusty's on the 8-bit Sega machine is pretty amazing! What's more it plays and moves in exactly the someway as its Megodrive predecessor. Incredibly, every feature is included right down to the crazy little Egyptian dance that Krusty performs should he wait in one place for too long. Gameplay-wise, the game is far less fussy than the other, similar puzzle types available and generally more entertaining as a result. Control over Krusty is perfect, making for an extremely playable platform/puzzle game minus the frustration. The music begins to grate after a while, however the same is true of both the Megadrive and Super NES versions. Some of the amusing sound effects are missing but the characteristic "Hi Kids!" still remains along with the "Whey Hey!" upon the completeion of each level. Master System owners could do with a bit of variety at the moment and there's no better character to ﬁt the bill than Springﬁeld's favourite clown!

Time is a major feature of this game Krusty receives a time bonus if he ﬁnishes the levels in ble quick time. It's always better to sort the rots o before pursuing the bonuses because sometimes they rush towards their destination and get stuck on inaccessible hole which means a whole heap hair-tearing frustration when there's no choice b to abort (by pressing PAUSE and Button 2). On s sub-levels there's a hidden bonus room accessed kicking the special bonus blocks.

Flashback), make this a visually gorgeous game. There's a lot in it too! It takes you ages to master all of the weapons and the various moves. Just when you think you've mastered it all, you suddenly ﬁnd yourself picking up your opponents and chucking them about, or yanking off your enemy's arms and making use of them yourself — brilliant! Cyborg Justice just gets better when another player decides to join in. The two-player action is great — the amount of ﬂuid, high-speed action is simply unbelievable. If there is a fault with the game, it's down to the lack of backdrops and interaction with the scenery. Still, this is a miracle for a four megabit cartridge — I can only think of how good it would've been if a whole eight meg were available. Any road up, as it is,Cyborg Justice is a superb beat 'em up — get

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

Whey hey! Yahoo! At last! Final Fight on the Mega-CDis incredible. The definitive beat 'em up has all the features of Capcom's classic coin-op which means that all three characters are here in the best simultaneous twoplayer fighting action on any machine — apart from Street Fighter II, of course! Even on EASY difficulty setting this conversion is mightily challenging, the screen resembling the London Underground at rush hour — it's just so packed with sprites for the killing! As is expected from a CD, the sound tracks are slick and groovy renditions of the arcade originals — in fact they're better! Likewise the sound effects come blasting from the speakers with fantastically sickening, over-the-top duplications of fist against bone and knife into arm! It's just excellent to hear Hagar as he roars into the next punishing piledriver or Guy scream into another damaging, flying kick and then the cries and screams of all those on the receiving end! Due to the virtually limitless memory of the Mega-CD the representation of each three characters is both detailed and smoothly animated. Even Cody looks pretty good in this conversion. Final Fight is the best scrolling beat 'em up ever! It makes the Streets of Rage games look very poor indeed with respect to the comparitive intelligence of the enemy sprites and the associated pleasure of 'doing away' with them. There's really nothing else to say, and with Street Fighter II loitering with menacing intent lust a few months away (hopefully Rich)

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

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

For years, Spot's arch-enemy Wild Wicked Willy Will has been trying to capture a real live Spot to prove to the world that they really do exist (thoughwhy a Willy would wont to catch spots I haven't aclue — most people hove to get Penicillin to get rid of them)!Toachieve his wily ways, Willy has set cunning Spot trap cages in all the places where a Spot might be lurking with amazing results — every cage has caught a Spot apart from our hero who has to now slurp through 1.1 platform levels blasting baddies like crabs, shellﬁsh and assorted insects with bubbles (although it's not bubbles that spots usually emit) and freeing his chums.

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

preview on Electronic Arts' most stunning gameof the summer — Jungle Strike! Rich and Lucy recently visited EA Central and saw a great deal of the 16-meg game in action. Hurrah!

d — in fact, the screen updates at twice the speed of the original! The sound has been upgraded for the sequel too — all-new digitised samples have been incorporated into the game to add to the realism.

MEGADRIVEHereitis—thecomplete

Basically, the plot involves the evil General Killbaba of Desert Strike — or rather his son! Yes indeed, for this murderous offspring has clubbed together with some South American drug lords and now they're marching their evil forces towards the United States! In fact, by the time the game starts, tanks have rolled into Washington, and they're threatening to blow up all of the historic monuments in acts of unbridled terrorism! It's down to you in your Comanche chopper to take on the General's son and his murderousDesertminions.Strike had four major campaigns — Jungle Strike has a massive nine! What's more, unlike its predecessor with its samey backdrops, the sequel has a vast variety of different scenery. There's the greenery of Washington, mountain-top ice levels, some brilliant jungle scenes (of course) and loads more besides! Fab eh?

A tealrel is Stealth Fightert

What else can we say? We only spent a couple of hours looking at a preproduction version of Jungle Strike and already we've been taken aback by its unbridled levels of excellence! Smart eh? Well look out for the complete review to this smart game really soon!

Accolade has packed a lot of action into Hardball III, and included lots of authentic features of major league parks such as foul territories. The play-by-play commentary by Al Michaels is excellent but as for the verdict on the gameplay and everything else you'll hove to wait for the future full review in MEAN MACHINES SEGA.

The basic idea is that the mutants' arch-enemy, Magneto has seized control of a high-power satellite and is beaming disruptive signals to the X-Men Danger Room — a high-tech room that uses machinery and holograms to simulate dangerous situations. In this room, the X-Men hone their skills in their battle against evil super-powered beings.

What this all boils down to is level upon level of scrolling platform action, with you (and a mate in two-player mode) daring to defeat the various holograms of X-enemies (including the dreaded Juggernaut and Apocalypse!) that Magneto has created.We've had a few hours concentrated play on The the amateur mode! Comic fans should be delighted with this game as it adheres quite closely to the original stories as well, It's due to be released in May, so look out for the deﬁnitive review next month!

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