The game is an incredible industrial strategy, in which yo land and build factory planis. W have designed and built your w system, the game switches to a s screen with one of the most original and advanced arcade action sequences yet seen on a computer. Armed with homing missiles and flame throwers you must stalk your opponent and destroy the droid.
Cybernetics is being developed by an in-house team at Millennium, but the original game concept was devised by Grey Matter based in the States. The game is set for release at the beginning of next year.
~\aIsco HEAT
Watch out for the conversion of Jaleco's coin-op, Cisco Heat. It’s a road race through the streets of San Francisco with fierce competition from the San Francisco PD.
Glaswegian design team, Ice, is doing the conversion and early reports promise an accurate conversion, using 3D graphics and the latest in road scrolling engines. Watch out for a work in progress report on this hot coin-op in a future issue of Games-X.

Gravity went heads of most mortals. Now the game’s
designer. Ross Goodley, is designing a game called Drop Soldier.
Billed as “a strategy with a heavy role-playing influence’, the game is set in the distant future where a drop soldier is a highly-trained combat trooper equipped with incredible equipment.
You play it from a first person perspective with mouse control, which takes you through a strange 3D environment creating a variety of
settings. The program has five difficulty levels based on the rank of the soldier, with lower ranks just carrying out orders

and officers commanding and planning strategy.
Once again, Drop Soldier is a complex and involved game, but Goodley is designing a range of skill levels which should appeal to more people than the rather obscure Gravity. Release date is set for the end of ‘91 on Amiga, ST and PC.
Ay JAGUAR
Atari has announced a 64-bit console which will hopefully hit the streets late next year. This mega-console has been codenamed the Jaguar.
Apparently the Panther and Jaguar were being developed in parallel, but things were going so well on the latter that Atari decided to put a halt on the 16-bit development program.
President of Atari, Sam Tramiel talked excitedly of “an incredible, absolutely amazing new generation console”. ;
Tramiel added, “The graphics and sound are just stunning, you have to see it to really understand how good it is. On the TV screen itself it will be so advanced you just won't believe it!”
.
Although the new Jaguar has power and memory bulging out of its sides, it looks like the price tag will be well below $300. This means that when and if the machine hits the UK it could retail around the £200 mark. We shall wait and we shall see!
GAMES BOY
The autumn will see the release of two arcade classics for the Nintendo Game
Boy. Accolade has developed both Asteroids and Missile Command for the Nintendo hand held.
Asteroids will feature a two player link-up allowing contestants to battle it out against each other.
Missile Command also features a link-up but this time two players can help each other while attempting to save their city from a nuclear attack.
Both titles will be available in time for Christmas.

, HOSTAGES -
Arguably Infogrames' finest 16-bit action games, Hostages, is now being produced on Famicom.
In this excellent atmospheric epic, you control a team of crack squaddies, who must enter an embassy and rescue hostages from terrorists.
Meanwhile, you can switch to a sniper on the roof opposite and you shoot the terrorists as they walk across the windows. Inside, you must pick off the terrorists and rescue the hostages. Excellent action! Even though Hostages is getting on a bit, it's well worth the conversion to console.
INSPECTOR HECTI :
Insector Hecti is due to make his debut computer game appearance in a mind- numbing arcade-style puzzle called the Interchange. Our bug-busting hero has
been sent on a mission to rid Victor Virus and his gang of computer bugs from the Interchange.
Hi-Tec’s Insector Hecti will appear soon on the Spectrum, C64 and Amstrad and also on the Amiga and ST at £36.99.
Following on from the recently released Mega Traveller 1 — The Zhodani Conspiracy comes Quest For The Ancients, the second game in the
series. A mysterious artifact, reportedly built by a quasi-mythical race of early starfarers known as the Ancients, has suddenly come to life on the sub-sector capital of Rhylanor.
Now the entire planet faces destruction unless we act in time. The only hope seems to be with learning the secrets of the Ancients. That is not going to be a particularly easy task — the Ancients were destroyed over 300,000 years ago!
Mega Traveller 2 - the Quest For The Ancients will be available around Christmas time for the PC, Amiga and ST. :
DIKTA FOOTBALL”
Mike Dikta was known for his tough, aggressive play. He’s hard-nosed, yet entertaining. The autumn will see the
release of Mike’s very own computer game. The game’s developers have devised a new, one-of-a-kind procedure for place kicking and punting. What's more, the game also features multi angle player perspectives and full replay features.
All 28 teams in the American National Football League are represented and players can play in either exhibition matches or a gruelling 17 week season. If you fancy yourself as a professional coach you can even
construct your own plays — that should quite a laugh!
Mike Dikta’s Power Football will initially be available on PC compatibles. Whether Accolade has plans to release the game on the other 16-bit formats is still undecided, but we'd certainly like to see it.

It will be the first NES game to put a player in a reality where he decides where to fly and what targets to attack. This decision making will give the
impression of flight rather than simply aiming at a string of targets. The jet will
yee Timequest, a time travel action adventure, is epic in scope, spanning three thousand years — from Stonehenge to Hitler.
Criss-crossing time and space, the player will travel to England, Rome, Peking, Cairo, Babylon, Bahgdad and Mexico in nine different time periods to repair the course of history, which has been cleverly altered by the evil traitor, Zeke S Vettenmyer. Over the course of the game the player will match wits with Julius Caesar, Hitler, Napoleon, Ghengis Khan, Atilla the Hun, Cleopatra, Michoclangere and many more.
Time Quest is due for imminent release in the United States and should appear here around September. At present the game is only available for the PC, but we'll keep you covered.

The game will feature two levels of play — training levels and real missions in which players will be awarded medals for successfully completing a mission. Already available in the States, the NES version of F-15 will be available here very soon.
As the original Paperboy is about to make it’s long-awaited debut on the
Mega Drive, with Electronic Art's promise of it being ‘the closest conversion to the arcade original’, Game Boy fans can look out for the game in the shops this month, courtesy of Mindscape. Not only that, there’s news of Paperboy Il in development on 16 and 8-bit machines, due for release in November.
Although the process of delivering newspapers is hardly open to great interpretation and change, Mindscape are promising a real surprise for PB fans.

The first products for the Sega hand held will be World Class Leaderboard in August, followed by Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Super Kick Off expected to arrive early next year.

Atari is quashing its reputation for not supporting machines with
software with more than 30 odd titles to look forward
to. The games are as diverse as World Class Soccer, due for release in August and Hard Drivin’ pitched for September.
You can also expect the latest, high-profile licences to be Lynxed, including Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure in early ‘92.

y first impression of Chicago was courtesy of WY | a lunatic cab driver at two o'clock in the
morning. He spent 30 minutes weaving through heavy traffic at high speed, ran red lights and actually hit a car causing minor cuts and abrasions — to the other car you understand!
When the cool light of day eventually dawned there was the Windy City in all its glitzy enormity. Elegant skyscrapers — apparently the first, third and fifth tallest towers in the world — massive structures of marble and granite glistening in the hot sun.
An American | spent some time with told me that Chicago was the only place he'd ever visited where the wind kicked you in the teeth on all four sides of a city block — hence the Windy City!
PURE AMERICAN STYLE The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is a twice yearly gathering of the electronics world in the States, an event that wouldn't be complete without the fun and drive of the computer and video gaming industry. | wasn’t quite prepared for scale of the CES until | ventured, gob agog through the various halls. Everything imaginable was there — from telephones and televisions to electronic teddies playing rock music and giant sound systems mounted on trucks. There was even a device to warn a driver of police radar traps.
Finding the gaming section was easy — you just followed your ears. Amongst the relative quiet of the rest of the exhibition thundered the music, noise and excitement of a thousand games. At the end of the North Hall sat a gamer’s paradise the size of four football pitches.
The activity in this part of the exhibition was furious. Mingling with the frantic gamers were such cartoon and software heroes as Fred Flintstone, Sonic the Hedgehog, Barbie (of doll fame — she was gorgeous) and a character called Bonk.
| musn't forget to mention the scantily clad young lovely bedecked with fluorescent logos — despite the fact that she
HGUINE 1991
was adorning a software stand, | never did quite figure out what she had to do with games!
Commodore, meanwhile, had employed the services of the ‘World’s Fastest Talker’ on their stand to proclaim the wonders of CDTV — interesting, eh?
THE GLITZ!... The activity on the Sega, NEC, and Nintendo stands was frenetic. Every square inch was crammed with a computer or console of some kind, each with a different game begging to be played — I’m afraid | couldn't resist!
The Nintendo pavilion was an enormous two storey arena enclosing barrages of Game Boys and NESs. On one entire side of this were 10 seats each with a Super NES mounted in the back, and each facing a huge screen on which to play a game — Super Mario World never looked so good.
The Sega stand was just as big and just as much fun. Most of it was occupied by bank upon bank of Mega Drives all playing different games, some of them still in development. In one section mounted on perspex columns were a couple of dozen Game Gears. The only one | managed to get my mitts on was duff — played to death!
NEC, although not strong in the UK, have a massive following in the States. While their arena too had countless machines for those dedicated game freaks, one of the more popular attributes was the multi-bank TV array. Why? A
game called basketball was the reason — apparently a Chicago team called the Bulls were playing the Los Angeles Lakers in the national playoff finals.
Most of the noise came from the Neo Geo stand. This phenomenal machine really captivated me. The sound, the graphics, the gameplay, | was in raptures. But the price of this wonder machine is the real killer — in
the States they go for around $450 with the cartridges coming in at $250!
Scattered around these majors were numerous software houses, licensees and __ peripheral
- manufacturers most with some really wow stuff on show.
Just keep a keen eye on the the news and console pages for details.
«AND THE GAMES, AND THE GEAR! All the Game Boy products were being exhibited on large monitors, something | thought made them more
The 16-bit version of the PC Engine was prominent on the NEC stand. The Americans box their Engines differently and call it the Turbografx. It’s an impressive piece of kit with a rapidly expanding array of carts.
Numbered among those on display were Silent Debuggers Talespin, Panza Kickboxing and Impossamole — watch out especially for Bonk’s Revenge, outrageous!
The US price for this machine has just been reduced to $99.99 and now a CD ROM add-on has been made available for a mere $299.99.
Sherlock Holmes, Consulting Detective is billed as the first CD game to make the player feel as though they are participating in a real movie. All the characters are actually digitised actors and the speech, real voices. | saw the game being played and was really impressed.
Game value seems to be the sales ploy for justifying the high cartridge prices these days. With Mega Drive carts costing up to £50, developers like Electronic Arts seemed to have moved away from the shooty/bash’'em genre. Following this trend EA is producing games with a longer-lasting appeal, mixing arcade and adventure to create a wider customer base.
The Mega Drive’s Sonic the Hedgehog was being run alongside Super Mario World in a typical show of Sega bravado. If you thought Mario was good, just wait till you get your grubbies on Sonic — it is brilliant!
THERE'S MORE On the lowly 8-bit NES there were literally hundreds of games on show to cope with the Americans, huge appetite for software. One of the quantest of these was
Electronics Show in y downtown zo to bring
specifically for younger girls. The Game Gear also seems to have really taken off with promises of something like 50 games by the end of the year.
On the computer side, the US is heavily into PCs. As you would expect, most of the new stuff from there will be available first on the PC and a month or so later on the Amiga and the ST.
What promises to be one of the most stunning games to hit the UK will be Strike Commander. With state-of-the-art graphics, this game is a fast moving air sim — none of your polygons here! Monkey Island 2 and Indy 4 also looked pretty damn special.
Although not in the video gaming section of the CES, Commodore’s CDTV was __ highly prominent. You can play
games on it, but don't expect too much.
The one noticeable absentee was Atari. It had people at the show but no stand. An informed source told me that the company would rather use the half million dollars it would have cost it for R&D. Interesting sales concept, but you have to remember that the ST is dead in the States and the Lynx is doing very nicely thank you.
Well that was the CES, for the summer anyway. It all happens again later in the year at Las Vegas, the city with more slot machines than people,
and you can bet your life Games-X will be there.
The show was fun while it lasted —
the glitz, the glamour and the games — but the best part of the whole thing was arriving back in Macclesfield, that quiet backwater of Manchester. “Have a nice day now!”

Final Fight, Super R- Type, Super Ghouls and Ghosts, Super Adventure Island, and wait for it, Radical Psycho Machine Racing were but a handful of titles being exhibited at the show.
One _ slight concern was _ being expressed about the quality of the software in production.

his sweet fairy tale was
shattered when Beau, and the
beautiful princess — whose
chops very rarely wobbled — had only
been going out together for a few short hours.
They were walking their pet dragon, Sparky in the park at the time, when a really nasty evil wizard appeared out of nowhere and whisked away the beautiful young maiden.
Now, as you can imagine, young Beau was a trifle miffed at this! However, after tea and hours of
14 GAMES-X 14TH-20TH JUNE 1991
research he managed to trace the evil wizard through the local Poll Tax Office — which was very helpful.
Armed with the knowledge of the tyrants whereabouts and his little dagger, our hero then set out upon his quest to find his sweetheart.
The quest would take him across the sea to a dark and horrific land inhabited by mysterious and hostile mutant creatures...
WONDERBEAU
The first impression gained from Little Beau is that it is remarkably similar to the now classic platform game, Wonderboy.
Looking at the screenshots the graphics bear more than a striking resemblance, and the gameplay itself is unnervingly similar to the old favourite.
As you can probably guess, you play the part of young Beau as he embarks upon his noble quest. You must guide the titchy little chap through
a series of levels which are located on the small islands. Your ultimate destination is the spooky castle where the evil wizard is keeping your loved one captive.
Each of the levels leading up to this point take on the form of a scrolling platform type scenario where all of the platforms are inhabited by numerous little bug-eyed beasties.
These nasty little creatures guard over various useful bits of equipment which you will undoubtedly need at some point. To get hold of these items you must simply clobber the creatures with your weapon and catch whatever they were holding. Easy huh?
pa ae
The items vary from those which can be used as weapons, such as fireballs and little creatures known as critters, to tokens and pieces of treasure which can help both your energy situation and your own personal wealth.
Each of the levels, or islands are divided into four separate sections. The first three of these involve standard platform exploration whilst the fourth pits you against the guardian of that particular island.
For example, the end of the first
aS
island sees you battling against one of the evil wizards genetic experiments; the Greater Fanged Yeti. This huge slobbering green troglodyte bounces about the screen being generally very unfriendly and hostile, while you try and knock him out with your pathetic little dagger.
These end-of-level sections are typical of most releases these days. You take on the big meanie and beat him up causing him to leave behind a bunch of useful bits and bobs. It’s not altogether that original, but it gives each
pied]
Ve = — =
of the levels a little more of an objective.
ATRIP TO THE ARCADE At intervals throughout the game you will come across either a one-armed bandit machine, or an arcade unit. If you have collected a few tokens it is possible to access these machines and try your hand at getting some bonus items.
The controls for these sections are very easy to use and they make a pleasant break from the action of the main game.
Platform games certainly seem to be making a come back at the moment. With Mario becoming more and more popular the cutesy game seems to be definitely ‘in vogue’ at the moment. Little Beau is both amusing and sweet and should appeal to a wide audience.
It is not so cute as to discourage the butch, ‘lemme at ‘em’ games player, but it is sufficiently twee to appeal to young players and those who shy away from violent games.
Both your dumpy little blond
haired chappie and the hostile mutant F greebos are all tremendously sweet,
and it’s difficult to believe that some of the characters could have any hostile intentions at all!
‘ve always been a big fan of this type
of game. There’s a lot of variety and there are loads of little puzzles for you to solve as you move your way through the different levels.
The easiest way to describe the Presentation of Little Beau is to say that it is quite overwhelmingly cute. All of the graphics are bold and colourful and there are numerous sweet little creatures who will attempt to hinder your path through the ever changing scenario.
To play this is quite a challenge without being excessively hard. The difficulty seems to have been set at just the right level for all types of games player from the useless novice to the big- headed expert. Joystick control is very responsive and greatly enhances the gameplay.
It is this, coupled with the numerous little amusing sections which make it a joy to play and an addictive, harmless little romp through a fantasy world.
Not only is this a highly playable game but it also incorporates a number of nifty little features which are quite original.
A special mention must go to the inclusion of the arcade machine and the one-armed bandit for getting hold of bonus items. It's certainly something unique and will probably be copied by
numerous other people in future
releases! : Overall, I really liked this. It looks
good, sounds great and _ plays
exceedingly well, it’s definitely worth checking out when it is released in a few weeks time. Any fans of the
Mario/Wonderboy style will love it!

28 GAMES-X 14TH-20TH JUNE 1991
The year is 1997 and the Shadew Dancer’s services are required once
more. You must make your way through the streets of New York SE accompanied by your faithful hound, Kato and defeat the evil hordes of the Lizard Lord.
The biggest problem you will encounter in the first stage will be the fire which erupts from beneath the manhole covers. Good timing is the only answer but you shouldn't experience too much of a problem
Every third level you come across an end-of-—level meanie. They're all big, mean ugly muthas who only respond to brutal treatment. Your best bet is to use your magic on them and then put the boot in their vulnerable spot. More often than not you're going to have to hit them in the face. They will throw all manner of things at you so don’t stop moving
When you reach this stage you're going to have to start being fairly crafty. Use the fence! If you get into trouble on one side of it, j jump over to
catch your breath. There will be loads inj here — DO NOT let them jump over your head as they will hit you with their swords
This level is an absolute pain. The shadows can work to both your advantage and your disadvantage. Try to shoot into the black areas before you actually walk inte them as more often than not there is something lurking within. Tread carefully and use Kato and you should be okay
While the other chaps on this level are an absolute doddie to get rid of, this meaty young fellow will require a bit of skill to remove. You will meet him on numerous occasions, but he’s only vulnerable when he is throwing those green things. You can mangle him with your sword or set the dog on him whenever he throws one of his shields
grat = +). GB cn FE
se
___yesiteelites: ; ot The scrolling shooty bit. This bonus stage provides you with loads of extra points but, if you want to get a sneaky extra life, don’t kill any of the ninjas as you fall
In the warehouse you are going to have to use Kato more than ever. Hide behind the piles of boxes, set your faithful pal on the nasty chaps and then pump them full of shurikens when they're busy. Easy eh? From here on, just work your way up through the levels of the building
GENERAL TIPS
Try and get in close — your sword is a very effective weapon
Don’t be afraid to use magic. It's an easy way to get out of any trouble
Don’t forget about Kato! He’s a very useful friend when you're in trouble
Jumping up and down between levels very quickly is good for avoiding gunfire
Enemies will die more quickly when you have more power-ups at your disposal
The earthquake zone has you jaa ‘om level to level rescuing the hostages, while socks fall from the sky, the earth opens up bemeaun you and numerous ninjas jump out from Sehied windows. As before, the guy with the big green shield is a real pain, as are the armed guards. Use Kato if you have too many problems
on the Pouce railway 6 ge yi you vill attract te attention of lots of guards. This is the Seat stage that the ninja’s start making real pales GF themselves, and there are even more Seats with shields. The ninjas are easier to kill wt your sword than with the shurikens so youve going to have to get in close
When you reach the Statue ot Liberty you wil have a lot of things to keep you occupies a ninjas are more vicious than ever, and you
to avoid the gunfire from a huge siltepanal Jump over the bullets and concentrate om thwacking the guys in the funny pyjames

THE MAKING OF UTOPIA

Graeme Ing carrys on his journey through the creation process of the futuristic sim, Utopia
DeEeoCeoEecoMeBeEeR
t the beginning of the month, | started on @= the sprite engine. First | considered all the things sprites had to do.
To start with, they had to move around the map in any of eight directions. To save memory | would have only three views of €ach sprite, and use mirroring to obtain the other views. Since there were many types of sprites each would need its own movement rules and tactics.
Some sprites, such as the dinosaur creature and the enemy stomper, would need to be animated as well, to give the effect of them walking.
Information | needed to hold about each sprite included: Its position, its direction of travel, where it was heading — for example a missile homing in on an

enemy, its __ life weaponry, current tactics and so on. As you can see, an awful lot of work goes lM into getting those tanks and missiles moving around the screen! It’s all time intensive stuff, and | hadn’t even considered combat yet. Every second or "EI two, each sprite must hunt for enemies within range of its weapons and fire upon them! We'll come to that code in a later issue!
Before | could build in all that sophistication, | first needed to write the code to actually draw or render a sprite on the screen, and know when not to — when the display is showing another part of the map. Remember the map is many times the area of the screen!
It took a whole day | because | wanted the code |

is made up of graphic to manipulate. can use these codes later in the combat routines, allowing sprites to find neighbouring enemies quickly. Before going any further with sprites, | wrote code for the tank and ship workshops. They take in metal, power and technicians, and spit out a tank or ship at regular intervals. Now | had several sprites available so | added code to enable the player to send multiple sprites around the map. | spent a happy hour sending 50 tanks to _ one square, then moving them all across the map to another. It was quite amusing
to be as efficient as ' watching them avoid terrain and all the other possible! A fiftieth of a tanks, as they jockeyed for position! second by the time a

hundred sprites had been moved. Believe me, this DOES make a difference to game speed!
ARGHH, WATCH OUT!
Now | had cute little sprites and spaceships moving around and | could make them home-in on any square on the map.
| spent a couple of days coding a comprehensive terrain avoidance routine, so that ground sprites would move around impassable terrain and then continue on to their destination.
The first time | ran the game, the tank ploughed through two mountains and a gigantic boulder before declaring itself stuck, and abandoning its move! Erm... try again. After a few further failed attempts | got the routine working.
Next problem: How to stop sprites driving into, or through, one another. Solution: Every _ sprite checks the square it is about to move into, to see if it is occupied. | did this by flagging every map square with a special code saying what type of sprite occupied it.
These codes are updated as the sprites move. The clever bit is that |

Game Gear will be coming out and do you think it will be as popular as the Game Boy? If so, how many games will be released for it? Thanks for your help.
J Ginley, Bradford.
Dr X: The Game Gear is already available in this country, and the Sega console is said to be retailing at a mere £99! Now if this info is correct, the Game Gear, taking into account the superb colour graphics and
sound, should easily give the Game Boy a run for its money, and once the software base increases it may even become even more popular. At the moment the titles available are very few and far between, although many more releases can be purchased through import from the likes of PC Engine Supplies.

have come out recently I don’t know which products to buy next for my Amiga 500. I have picked out 10 games which caught my eye and would like you to place them in your
order of preference. The games - are: Speedball 2, Lemmings, Toki, Gods, Pro Tennis Tour 2, Duck Tales, _ Brat,
Powermonger, Wonderland and Chuck Rock. Thanks. Gavin Miller, Lincolnshire.
Dr X: First of all Duck Tales is not yet available on the Amiga, but it’s soon to be released. Watch the pages of GX for a review/update. Coming top of the rest of the games is Lemmings, with Powermonger close behind. Gods is next, followed by Speedball 2 and Chuck Rock. With Toki sixth and Pro Tennis Tour 2 next, Brat and Wonderland finish off the list. The games are totally
different from each other, and the list is only personal preference. It all depends on what type of game you prefer.

Nicholas Kelly, Cumbria.
Dr X: Oh, | see, boasting that you have an Amiga, eh? Well that’s nothing. I've got an ST, an Amiga, a Super Famicom, an NES, Mega Drive, Master System, Game Gear, Lynx...

I've got a a game on it called Midnight Resistance. It’s good but there’s a bit where I get stuck. It’s on level three when you are in a lift and the robots shoot at you. If you know anything about the game, please tell me.

Dr X:| have in fact completed this game, and the only tip | have for you is this. First off, make sure you have autofire on your joystick, as this is handy no matter what game you're playing. Secondly, if you can, try and play the game with two players, because two big weaps are better than one!

One, Brian Pollock, raised his hand in recognition. The other, known as Spock, extended a hand of greeting, and instantly my first and rather obvious question was answered — Jason Wilson bares an uncanny resemblance:to his Vulcan namesake. But there is another reason why Spock stands out from®the crowds«This tall, self-confessed ‘goth’s’ hair »reaches his,backside and, beneath a large brimmed hat, he.is always dressed in black with cowboy boots and a large piece of camouflage webbing around his waist. “Ag. even more strange addition to the Spock look Happens when he goes to a concert or one of his favourite cult. movies... he wears a gas mask.

narrow alley with outside iron stairways and seedy doorways — Spock was measuring the place up for a scene in his next movie.
Spock has gained a reputation for his distinctive style of graphics. He has consciously avoided the more commercial, metallic graphics generated by the Bitmap Brothers, among others.
Like all original artists, it has taken a long time for him to find and develop his style and be accepted. Now he has gained respect for his originality: “I
appreciate what the
Bitmaps has achieved artistically. But it's pointless everyone doing the same stuff.

My approach is to use different palettes and experiment with characterizations, rather than pinching ideas from 2000 AD.
As a conventional artist, it has taken some time,for me to get used to computer art and be comfortable with it. But after intense experimentation, | have arrived at the look and feel I’m happy with.”
Spock is designing a comic to accompany Strikewll. He explains the scenario: “The arena of thi§/futuristic . sport has expanded to three galaxies. This universal popularity of the sport has arisen from the alliance of three races: humanoid, reptilian and insectoid, who have formed an alliance so that there is no war. But
these are warmongering nations
and so the Strike arena, which is
the only
sequence. which begins with the tail of a heroic Strike warrior, Bill Peak, in the centre of the foyer to the arena. The tail fin is an epitaph with names of the greatest Strike heroes.
Spock continues: “I was inspired by the dark and cold imagery in Ridley Scott created for Blade Runner. | combined these with my own military images and views of urban decay.”
Brian described the scene for this sequel: “Biomechs which were originally designed as slaves and then given there freedom and rights have entered the Strike arena and have become the most competitive race.
With this greater competition, the arena organizers have created aggressive and single-minded computer- controlled adversaries.”
What can we expect? “My favourites are the sharks which glide silently around the arenas waiting for you to sustain damage and flounder. Then the smell of the fuel leaking attracts them and they attack you in a blind frenzy.”
Spock continued: “There are four galactic central points where you meet a boss — a big meanie. One boss represents each galaxy and my favourite is this all-powerful bio-mech armed with massive rotating canons and spinning shields that deflect your fire. The Computer _ intelligent aggréssive competition, is a bloody battlefield.” adversaries have varying degrees of intelligence

want me to send you a Games-X T-shirt so that you can flaunt yourself at the local disco at our expense — intuitive, eh?
If you had sent me a photo of yourself | might just have given your request some thought. However, | can offer you a few ideas to help solve your dilemma:
@ Get the boyfriend to buy your clothes.
@ Go topless (Don't listen — Dr X).
@ Dump the geek.
Personally, I'd go for the last one, hope it all works out Lisa.
Ive had a Sains for spc five years (you put up with it that long? — Dr X), and I've made up my mind that | want to go up market by buying an Amiga.
I've been looking around for one and the prices vary from £240 — £360. This means that | have enough money for one, but | was wondering, is there a lot of additional extras | have to consider?
By the way | like the ideas of having famous people's views in the mag, and I'd love a T-shirt.
Richard Mason, Dronfield Woodhouse. (Where?!)
I'm sure you would like a T-shirt, you and another million like you!
The Amiga’s a fine machine and much the same as with other kit you can buy a lot of add-ons. Let's take it from the basic machine.
If you can’t afford a monitor to start with, you are going to need a modulator to enable you to use a TV, however this may be included in the pack purchased. A second disk drive is always a good idea once you get established to speed things up a trifle — helps put an end to
the disk swapping blues.
Fairly soon | expect that you'll want to upgrade your 512K to a meg as this will allow you to play the more complex games. Other stuff like sound modules, hard disks and various emulators are obviously all available, but you will have to be a bit of a keeny to get into that lot.
For now a modulator and possibly a second drive should do you well enough.
| go into town to buy Games-X every Saturday, but it’s not always there. Is it because not many newsagents sell it or is it because the mag is so brill that it sells out quickly? | hate missing the magazine, it's wicked!
Liam Chatterton, Bedale.
I've had quite a few letters like this over the past couple of weeks and | would hope that the. newsagent’s sold out if Games-x is not on the shelf.
To get round this why not do what Peter Yeo of Bristol did, place a regular order for Games-X with your newsagent. It's easy and you can even have it delivered to your door if you talk sweetly to him. Remember though, if your parents pay the bill ask them first!
My name is Erez and | am currently a Zzap reader (not for much longer | hope
~ Unc). Since that mag has failed to satisfy my need for Amiga info | am now interested in subscribing to Games-X (that's my boy! — Unc).
GX is not imported to Israel as far as | know. Although | may be able to find it in Tel Aviv, | only get there two or three times a year and since the mag is weekly, that really is not a lot of help.
So can | subscribe? It would be
great to get my dose of wit and humour on a regular basis. Erez Yariv, Haifa, Israel.
This is just one of several international requests for subscriptions that I've had this week. The good news is that Games-X will soon be available through the post, so don't fret, I'll hang on to alf those letters I’ve had and pass them on to the powers that be at the right time.
“ead Are you going to review Super Famicom and Mega Drive games in mags to come?
After reading the preview issue and numbers two and three, | reckon Games- X is one of the best mags to hit the streets. Will you be selling second hand computers and games, so that ! can get them cheaper?
Damien Baglee, Nowhere in particular.
If you have bought our last few issues you will have seen an increase in our Mega Drive review content. The Famicom games are starting to come into the country now, but not in any great numbers so reviews are only going to appear now and then. However, when the Super NES (Famicom) hits the streets in the States in September we should see a lot more games coming through.
On the second hand issue, take a gander at page 32 in our last issue — private kit and cartridge sales at a price you can afford. No disk software items for sale I'm afraid it’s far too open to abuse.
| have recently become the proud owner of a Nintendo (Game Boy, NES, Famicom? — Uncle X), and this is the first mag ! have tried ~ my brother who has an Amiga recommended it to me (I hope you're buying one each ~ Dr X).
| think it is a great magazine, but most of the reviews you do on games are only available for the 16-bit computers, which is great for my brother, but not so handy for me. So please could you find some time to do a few for the Nintendo? Lucy Broomfield, South Norwood.
Great to see that we appeal to the lassies as well. I'll have a word in our resident Wood Gnome’s shell-like and see if he can get some new Nintendo games in — just for you, no one else you understand!
couldn’t afford to buy a Game Boy and | wanted to run an art package. Then | ‘und the solution — | bought an Etch-A- Sxeich. It’s cheaper, needs no batteries mc has a much better display (snigger)!
"y didn’t you review this brilliant
machine in your round-up of hand helds? Is it possible to run Game Boy
cartridges on an Etch-A-Sketch or
possibly link machines directly using a
serial link thru the parallel port or
something?
Don MeKie (again!), Hull.
| had an intense chat with our systems manager on your suggestion and he thought it might just be possible to link the two for quite a unique Tetris head-to- head. Trouble is though the etcher would have to draw his shapes coming down and would, therefore always win — if his opponent didn’t die of boredom first!
What are you on, Don, magic mushrooms or something? What kind of accents do people from Hull talk with - a cross between Yorkshire and Nottingham?
Keep them coming old son, this page wouldn't be the same without you!
| would like to say that this ‘ere mag is, well, pretty darn good!
Dr X is brill (let's not go too overboard ~ Unc), but why does he change his hair colour every week? Does he use colourants or does he stay out in the sun to make his hair a lighter shade of brown?
Anyhow will you send me a T-shirt coz I'd be well grateful.
PS Why is Weston-super-mare called super when it's not really at all? David Varley, Weston-super- mare.
On the subject of Dr X, other than being a ridiculously vain moron (now if anyone is to be called a moron... — Dr X), he does indeed spend a lot of time out of the office. However, the amount of sun we get up here in Cheshire is hardly going to bleach his mop. No, the Doc gets his colour from those luxurious weekends he spends by the sea in sunny Selsey — you know, down south.
You didn’t say pretty please so you're not going to get a T-shirt!
The super in Weston comes from the Latin meaning over. Mare is the Latin word for sea, therefore, Weston is a town on and overlooking the briny, right? | can tell you're impressed with the pure depth of my knowledge!
Are you the real David Varley?
OUTER LIMITS...
Holiday season’s coming, so when you're sunning your ‘orrible bodies, how about thinking of poor Unc and the team slaving away over hot computers to bring you yet another cracking issue ready for your return to dear old Blighty.
Send me and the lads (whoops nearly forgot, and lassies) some wacky holiday snaps from foreign Parts, or better still a postcard —
nothing obscene, please!
