However, there is possible solution — a solution I'm surprised that Sego opted.nths ago I had a meeting with Sego's Product Director, Barry Jafrato, discus *I- plans for Mega-CD He proposed that all cart games would be released on two formats — cartridge and CD Blank CDs cost about 50p, with the raw moteriol for carts costing ten times as much The CD versions of each game would be a lot cheoper — soy E20.00, but they would look, sound and play just like the cont game.

I'm not going to go on about how Sega are ping us off or anything like that The fact is that carts ore mode Japan and have to be imported bumps up prices badly due to weakness of the pound compared to the Japanese yen. Memory ips ore very expensive as it is
Sounds ideal eh? Well, there ore two problems. First of all, you'd need to invest MO in o Mega-CD. Secondly, the Mega-CD only hos in-built memory to the tune of 6meg. Sega were also proposing to sell memory boost cartridges that plug into the Megodrive's cart slot. Without that you'd be looking at multi-toad games. But is that really too much of a price to pay?
Sego must have thought that this idea was, in the end, not viable. However, soles of Mega-CDs nre slowing down. People could do with an incentive to invest in the new

Our 100% reliable sources from within Capcom have informed us that the game will be converted onto the most popular Sega and Nintendo systems the Megadrive and Super NES. Capcom have pencilled in a preliminary release dote of June 1994 (a year after the premiere of Super NES Street Fighter II Turbo). Following the shenanigans between Sego and Capcom (that resulted in the change from Megadrive Champion Edition into Turbo), the company has decided that both formats will be releasedCapcomsimultaneously.haveonlyjust only confirmed the conversion, ond work on both conversions is very much in the embryonic stages. Thot being the case, our source was unable to confirm the cart size or specs of the new game.

I received my copy of Mortal Kombot on the Megadrive a few days early thanks to mail order and since I am a fan of the coinop I was excited to soy the least. Imagine my disappointment then, when I turned up the sound through my hi-fi speakers only to find that I might as well unplugthem.How come Jaz was observant enough to discover the undeniable flaw in the gomeplay (I ignore this procedure in order to enjoy the one-player mode) but maintains that the sound is '...just about arcade perfect'. Has he played the arcade gome? For one, the music in the conversion is completely wrong and although good, just doesn't create the correct atmosphere. As for the SFX, the flying kicks make a faint phutt sound like a quiet fort, Kano sounds like a monkey and Royden's electricity sounds like a blue bottle in a jam

am quite annoyed that Sego bring out a console like the Megadrive and Nintendo wait. Nintendo take apart the machine (in this case the Megadrive) and produce the Super NES. They vastly improve upon the Megadrive and created an utterly outstanding machine. They improve it by giving it more colours, better sound, Mode 7, put more buttons on the control pod and making the machine smaller.Thepoint I am trying to make is that Saga bring out a 'new and technically advanced machine' Nintendo has a chance to study it ond then, surprise surprise, brings out a better machine a yearSegalater,ore following the same pattern again by bringing out the Saturn.

titles. In fact, after playing the first few levels I reset the machine so I could check for David Perry's name on the opening credits. But, cynical fool that I am, I only had to play a few more levels to discover the truth. Simplistic the gameplay may be, but this is one of the best Megadrive blasts I've played in months! Loads of guns, explosions, and cyborgdeath mayhem. There ore a number of impressive features that stand out; little things like the ornaments from the OCP offices in the Robocop movie making it into the OCP offices in the game, and the burning TVs from Terminator appearing In the Terminator outpost. Even better are bits like the confrontation with Robocop 2 and ED-209 (all complete with the correct sound effects, sampled from the films) and being able to shoot off ED-209's gun to use yourself is a very neat touch. Graphically this game is excellent throughout, with excellent animation, amazing sprites (all the robots are brilliantly done) and even the backgrounds ore very detailed. The gameplay starts off very easy, then the difficulty setting rapidly escalates, so if you're a shoot 'em up novice BEWARE! Also, this is one of those games in which, If you lose your weapons you're in deep dung. Robo's Auto-9 is okay to start with but you don't stand a chance on some of the later levels if you haven't got one of the more powerful weapons in your pocket. All in all, though, this is an ate game, which should provide fans of Robocop and The Terminator with major thrills!
TAXI OUT MI SICURITY What?CAMERASHaven't they finished building this place yet? No, and the reason why is that the building sites ore infested with criminals! It's up to Robe to climb the scaffolding and walk the girders, dealing death to the evil-doers, while watching out for armour-scorching jets of flame. And guess who's waiting at the end! It's his old mate Robocop 2! Now things are starting to get tougher.
a good idea to stay out of the vats of super-acidic toxic waste around here, but a greater threat is posed by the legions of yet more heavilyarmed criminals. Somehow they've also rigged up robot sentries on girders which spew out bullets as soon as you get near them. Also, they've managed to lay.their hands on an Urban Pacification MiniTank which guords the end of the level.
The Terminators hove arrived en masse in the offices of OCP and after capturing the OCR executives, they've set up loads of robot defences and disguised themselves as security guards. Robo has to find all the hostages end release them while dodging the fire of the gun turrets mounted in the carpeting before taking on - CRIPES! — ED-209!

effort that has gone into making a beautifully coloured, stunningly animated depiction of the Disney film. Surely the media of games and films are getting inexorably closer? But this game that is technically excellent is elementary in terms of gameplay. The action is basic beyond belief, and totally untaxing throughout. The amount of extra lives and continues offered in so many ways makes it about as thrilling as trapezewalking with a safety net, parachute, jet-pack and 'copter helmet. Though the game strives for graphical originality, the gameplay offers nothing new — being o transparent rehash of Cool Spot. My first impression was disappointment despite Aladdin's incredible appearance. These doubts were confirmed by seeing a rotten end sequence within one and a half days. Games like these once fared very well, even in this mug, but with the range of challenging Megadrive games as alternatives, they no longer deserve to.

Lucy Aladdin is living proof of this. Don't get me wrong, this is not a bad game by any means — it does look and sound goodand the animation is tremendous and very reminiscent of the Disney film but sadly the gameplay is lust standard and somewhat shallow platform fare and although nice to control, is much too much like Cool Spot to offer any real excitement or incentive to splash out more dosh if you already have the other. A game which can be completed in less than two days Isn't worth E50 of anybody's money — why oh why were so many extra lives and continues included? It would have been so much better and almost worth buying if the challenge factor hod been upped. As it is though, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone except Disney fans and die-hard platform nuts who don't already own Cool Spot.

The graphics • are a mixed bag — some of the levels are great, some have visuals worse than some Master System games (level one for example). The sound is a similarly mixed bag. However, it's the gameplay that is this game's worst problem. The action is utterly unoriginal — the platform gameplay is very similar to Cool Spot and Global Gladiators with very little variation between the levels. However, when you're paying over or around E40.00 for a game, you expect a lot more. Basically, what's the point of buying this when there ore games like Flashback, Rocket Knight Adventures, Sonic II and Tiny Toons available for the same price?

look of the game is very well crafted and there are some nice ideas but there's no affinity to the game's central character who is given no chance to really prove himself within the confines of this below average adventure. Apparently Bruno is something of a Bart Simpson character with a wild imagination but there is no evidence of that here. Instead the player suffers along with Bruno through six similarly styledlevels that all feature fatal spikes and the opportunity of falling right off the bottom of the screen with no prior warning. Of course this is very annoying as it is so unfair. Without these problems the gameplay is extremely obvious and therefore easy. There is no compulsion to collect the jellybabies neither is there any need to take advantage of Bruno's ice-lolly driven super-powers.

James Pond has previously been a bottom-bouncing fish in his adventures, and it's a skill he retains. But to harm an enemy he has to pull up his toil before he lands on their heads. On the moon, most of his enemies take several hits to kill. Those sitting in tanks and cars need more than a bounce — Pond has to use his gun or explosives.

Bestow on him a string of kicks and punches in quick succession and the recipient will wobble about like a pickled old tromp.

And if you guide your attacker to your corner, your mote often grabs him by the throat while you lay into him.

Padishoh Emperor Shaddam IV. This ruthless galactic ruler desires the precious minerol, Spice, that lies beneath the sandy surface of this mysterious world, Arrakis. Spice is the key to space travel, and also unlocks more esoteric pathways the most potent mind-expanding substance in the universe (after guaranaShaddamgum)has deviously sought to protect his interest by allowing two rival factions within his court to mine Spice on Dune. You are of the honouroble House of Aireides, sending spice shipments while repelling the growth of your enemies, the Harkonnen on Dune. You proceed by befriending the natives of Arrokis, the Fremen As Paul Atreides the duties of Spice production and defence must be balanced against each other.
Atreides has the highest moral code of any House within the Padishah Empire. Toll, beautiful, intelligent and intuitive, they regard themselves as blessed by birth and have a duty to others less fortunate. With you on Arrokis is Duke Leto Atreides, your fother. and Jessico, your mother. Leto is a good source of advice, and Jessica helps unravel some of the mysteries of the Spice. In addition, there is help from Gurney Halleck and Duncan Idaho, two stewards of Atreides. Gurney is expert at weaponry and dealing with the Premark. Duncan knows all about Spice harvesting, and holds statistics about stocks.

but Dune has an atmosphere all its own. Using a lot of material from the movie, the game really comes alive with the speech, the animated portraits and the complex and stimulating plot. In terms of gameplay, It takes a long time to get beyond mere conversation and into the strategic element, but finishing the game lakes a long time. One nice feature is the detective element. Mysteries take some time to Illuminate themselves, but once solved, a real feeling of progress is perceived. I'd actually advise strategy fans to go for the Dune II Megadrive cart, but this is recommended to Dune fans and budding lecs.

Though they've hod to go without since Getafix disappeared, Asterix and Obelix hove still got some potion power left and so they con still whack even the heavilyarmoured Romans off those platforms o well-aimed punch. The feeble legionnaires ore offed with a single punch, but the high-ranking centurions can stand up to three or four hits before they expire,
As either Astern( or his Obelix, get from the left of each 'room' to the right in a limited amount of time. To make things more difficult, some rooms are completely impossible, unless Ariterix con use some Gallic magic to bridge unleapable gaps or destroy hostile creatures,

The all-American city cop wouldn't be seen dead without a gun for protection. Actually they probably would. In all truth, without their standard-issue pieces an officer of the law is naked and quite vulnerable. Mercifully the Lethal Enforcers package comes rigged with a gun so players are riot required to pretend with their joypods. An extra gun, for use in two-player games, is also on offer from Konomi for a whopping £13. Use of the guns heightens the tension somewhat as the emphasis is placed even more on a steady aim andreactions!lightning-quick

accuracy and gun control adds to the appeal and makes up for the simple 'shoot-to-kill' philosophy — the chance of maiming innocents plays havoc with the nerves! However success is all down to pattern learning in the end. Though reactions are tested to the limit, victory Is well within anybody's reach and there are no surprises once all the missions are complete. Still this is quite a departure from the norm and Is far better than any of the menacer titles available. Gun freaks could certainly do a lot worse and this conversion couldn't have been much better. Worth a look.

Play begins with only a service revolver as the players' protection. Other fire-arms are obtained by aiming at the gunshaped icons that occasionally decorate the scenery. The upgrades afford the player rapid-fire capabilities, as is the case with the Uzi and automatic, and immense power provided by the shot-gun and SLR rifle. Such upgrades remain in the players' possession until their representative cop is injured.

people on the Megadrive although it's a bit gruesome when you realise you're shooting real people! It's fairly challenging and I loved the practice mode where you blast hell out of a series of targets in a shooting range sort of scenario. On the down side though, I think the game could have been improved in a number of ways. For example, you should be awarded more points if you shoot someone in the head or heart — these guys drop dead if you shoot them in the foot for chrissakes! A few bonus or hidden levels would have added substantially to the enjoyment value. As it stands, Lethal Enforcers provides a reasonable amount of fun but it's not going to take too long to complete, and the lightguns ore pretty redundant utiles other games make use of them in the future. Certainly
to get trigger-happy when ventilating the city's scum but its essential that players remain in control at all times. Rookie officers are prone to standing in the line of fire and clumsy cops are deservedly penalised for any such fatalities. Likewise hostages and passers-by don't take too kindly to bullets and tend to die horribly when shot. Unfortunately the word 'oops doesn't wash with the commissioner when facing evaluation. Any federal or civilian casualties sustained in ony given assignment results in having to undertake the some lob again!

Unfortunately this game doesn't. In fact, it stops just short of being a pile of old tosh. Sonic himself is as fast and wonderfully detailed as ever but the levels are too short, there are practically no enemies, the backdrops aren't a patch on either Sonic 1 or 2, it's too easy and all in all, not worth the

The Desert Apache is equipped with three different weapons systems which more or less target themselves on anything within their range. The chain gun is really only useful against very soft targets (enemy soldiers, for example), but for tougher stuff you hove o healthy supply of Hydra missiles and a small quantity of the much more destructive Hellfires which con take out a missile battery before its even got you in its sights. Naturally, ammo is limited, so it's important to keep an eye out for weapons crates which ore scattered around the landscape.

R CH still sap loads of energy.Otherwise, this is a smart platformer - a bit easy perhaps if you've played the cart game, but there's a lot more variety and the amount of levels is lust amazing. The music is a bit sad. Some bloke from Mr Big contributes a lacking rock track — sorry, I can't forgive Mr Big for producing "I'm the one who wants to be with you" (most derivative rock "ballad" ever?) and the tunes here are even more unoriginal. In fact, the tracks Sega add are far superior and don't have crap lyrics either! Still, getting back to the game, the graphics are ace and the gameplay is a lot faster than the cart version. The villains change the locations of their hideouts with each game adding to the lastability. Ws a nice game, and whilst not quite a megagame, is still well worth a look. Believe it or not, I actually bought it.

on Hi. Megadrive remains one of the better platformers available to this day, despite Its age. This CD version is expanded and refined in all areas and the standard of playability is raised as a result, Players now have greater control over SpiderMants abilities with his new techniques adding to the excitement and asserting Spidey's cool. Of course it's a bit embarrassing to find this superhuman troubled by rubbishy little bats and other similar tiny creatures but I suppose this Is all by the way when the game is so faithful everywhere else. Uke Rich I'm disappointed with the musical accompaniment. It's like CD games are doomed to J &rig laden with dodgy rock-guitar music for 4 all eternity! Regardless this is a mighty excel' lent platform game and is presented so stylishly that If hi hard to pass by. Ask Rich.

Raphael carries finger knives, and proves to be the most versatile turtle fighter. He steams across the screen as a turtle torpedo, knocking opponents for six. From the air, his windmill attack is a moss of spinning knives. He even has a fast long-range attack — a sharp knife fireball.

The Turtles may fight valiantly against crime, but Konami face a bigger battle flogging four toy characters that are as dated as Melvyn Hayes and Una Stubbs in Summer Holiday. The Turtles should have LI packed off to Shady Pines retirement lagoon aeons ago, but the games industry always knows how to flog a dead 'My Little Pony'. The game behind the license is quite good, but with qualifications. The turtle graphics and animation are good, but the weird backdrops don't always work. Some of the moves are superb, and the game's really fast, but the main play problem is the response. The delay between command and action makes combos hard, and that's compounded by the ridiculous early difficulty level. This game really has been pitched far too hard on the easiest levels. Despite this, I think adept Street Fighters will find this a better game than Mortal Kombat, but only just.

The preconceived tables presented in Virtual Pinball serve to demonstrate the basic features available to the player. It's as well to hove a few goes on these and take note of the way things work for reference during construction of a personalised table. There are two basic elements to consider before work begins:

look,Yes,
B eing a magical kind of person Ronald McDonaldhe of the ginger wig and yellow overalls is surrounded by magical things. He goes for walks in a magical forest, hangs about a magical town and holidays on magical islands. Pretty much everything he touches becomes something rather special too. So when he discovers a piece of paper at the foot of o tree in the magical forest it takes the form of a treasure map, Actually it's only a quarter of a treasure mop. The missing pieces are who knows where, but Ronald has a pretty good idea where to the thought of a game featuring Ronald McDonald is a bit cheesy and may require an extra pinch of salt on your regular fries to digest. However the license is being handled by Treasure, the same people who programmed Gunstar Heroes, making this menu of fun instantly more appealing. One player controls the clown in his seorch for the missing pieces of the mop through a five stage platform adventure.

because it's so well programmed. Although Treasure haven't added anything new to the game genre, there are tons of ingenious ways of presenting it within Treasure Land, and some great effects. The question is: Why? All this effort has gone towards a derivative game that is far beneath the talents behind it. Above all, the game is for too easy for most players, with the inclusion of a password system. Pretty and impressive and ideal for very young

Ignoring the misguided choice of Ronald McDonald as this game's heroic figure Treasure Land is actually quite rich in ideas and more or less superb. Gunstor Heroes stands as an awesome demonstration of this development company's talent and the
nation is further demonstrated with this, their second release. Ronald makes for quite a versatile if slightly cumbersome hero and his use of starves as an improvised rope is especially cool. Regrettably it doesn't take much more than a day to savour all the game has on offer. Since the desire to see all Treasure Land has in store is irresistoble the inclusion of a password system makes a speedy completion of the game inevitable. This is a class product, it is imaginative, wild and has original features too. With more challenge and a larger number of levels to explore Treasure Land may well have lived up to its namesake. Instead it's better that a per-son's small fortune is reserved for something more robust. However the game's still worthy of attention for its novelty value alone.

I can't say that I spend much time on the Master System. However, this month, there has been a veritable avalanche of quality 8-bit product. First Domark's Desert Strike, then Cool Spot and now The Jungle Book. This is truly excellent stuff, with some smart graphics and compelling gameplay. even took this one home to play over the weekend. Although the killeverything-that-moves gameplay is hardly in keeping with the gentle film, the action is fast and playable enough to bring you back for more. Once the controls have been sussed, the game is a bit easy, but I really enjoyed playing it. One of the best 8-bit games I've played in months.

But no longer. Mowgli is a man cub on the edge, on thin ice, on the brink. Deciding that he's hod enough, he packs his pants full of bananas and sets out into the jungle, dealing curved-fruit death to any of the jungle's inhabitants thot see fit to attack him.

The best pinball game ever seen on any system i ever, Dragon's Fury has spawned a sequel — Wit called Dragon's Revenge, it's from Tengen and it's 41111lookingWiwihot.can we soya It's a pinball game and lust ik like Dragon's Fury it has flippers lots of them, flashing lights, bumpers, dark, atmospheric backdrops and loads of foul, festering creatures 1unning obout which you have to bosh with a ball to gain access to the bonus levels.
There's even a storyline of sorts — some 'bint' wearing very few clothes, who's reolly a dragon has captured some goad guys and gals (who are also wearing very few clothes) and stuck them in bubbles. They can only be rescued by your heroic self notching up the points and completing the eight bonusThelevels.bonus levels are very different from the Dragon's Fury ones — as you con probably see from these shots. Surreal art work (featuring more semi-clod beauties) and amazing scaling on the ball gives the impression of realistic perspective which is rather cool The bonus tasks include bouncing balls off birds' (the feathered variety) bonces, smashing spiders and bizarre goblin types who throw their heads at you. Successful completion of a bonus level frees one of your chums from IA the clutches of the dragon and gives you a smart 1 gold pinball which scores four times more points fort a limited period when you return to the proper table.There's been a bit of a glut of pinball games lately — Sonic Spinball and Virtual Pinball (both reviewed this issue) to name two but being complete pinball nuts in this office, the more the merrier. We'll bring you a full review of this one soon.
