However, the guy behind classics such as F-19 Stealth Fighter, Gunship subject which can cause classrooms full and Railroad Tycoon is in the final stages of Civilization. of glum faces can also be a source of
The simulation begins in 4000 BC and it’s the players job to create an entire civilization from a small nomadic tribe. As the original tribe grows, smaller groups can be sent to seek new peoples, territories and trading agreements. Tribes will be successful if players can balance issues such as economics, politics and defence. The game can take place on a map of the real world or computer generated landscapes.
The goal of the game is to survive from the early beginnings through to the present and into the future. Players may run into problems such as both nuclear and reusable energy in modern, or even historical characters such as Napoleon or Ghengis Khan.
Initially available on the PC, Microprose’s Civilization will appear around October time. ST and Amiga versions should follow sometime early in 1992.

THUNDERJAWS
Converted from the Tengen coin-op favourite of the same name, Thanderjaws is an arcade game with a difference. After the disappearance of dozens of women in the region of Madame Q’s subterranean hideout, you set out to find out where they’ve gone.
Rumour has it that the hideous Ms Q is carrying out human experiments to create a race of Lizard women. Your mission in this furious shoot’em-up is to infiltrate the base and destroy the weird bunch of guards that defend it.
Armed with an Uzi and a flamethrower, blast the metallic scales clean off cybernetic sharks and other fish-like cyborgs. Each level has two sections beginning with an undersea romp and culminating in scary volcanic caverns which lead to laboratories in Aqua City. Computer-controlled gun turrets mines and bombs make life interesting as your desperate assault ensues.
The game has been designed by The Kremlin and is due for release at the beginning of July on eight and 16-bit formats.

Anco has three games in the top 20 this week and every one is to do with Kick Off. Winning Tactics has risen to number seven from 18 and Final Whistle .and Kick Off 2 have reappeared at the lower end of the 20.
Switchblade 2 has well and truly disappeared, but HeroQuest is keeping Gremlin’s hopes alive with its number 16 position.
Big shock of the week is the new(ish) number one! Eye of the Beholder has jumped back up after its dramatic fall last week. Proving that role playing is definitely the ‘in’ thing to do at the moment.
Shadow Dancer from US Gold is the highest new entry at number four while the other goodie from the Birmingham maestros is the re-entry of Super Monaco GP.
Gods has almost gone and can hold its head up high from its great
success as the debut release from Renegade. Will Magic Pockets do as well?

For the next three weeks ST and Amiga owners will be getting a free coverdisk. Don't despair C64 lovers as here's your own column packed with news, previews, top 30 software and reviews from Stuart Wynne, editor of ZZAP!
new C65, part one of our top 30
games of all time, a review of HeroQuest and some news about up and coming releases.
SUPER C64 - THE C65? Keeping you up to date on news of the C65. Commodore has been working on this for well over a year and software developers have long been known to drop passing references to a C64 with _built-in disk drive.
Just recently however, some more mouthwatering specifics leaked; IFF compatibility (allowing the porting across of Amiga graphics), an integral 3.5in disk drive (offering far more memory and much faster accessed than the 1541), improved sound, C64 compatibility and a price tag of around £200.
Commodore, rather naughtily, claims that although it can’t really touch an Amiga it is comparable to an Atari ST! Undoubtedly a rather neat machine its chances of being released are uncertain.
The C64 sold more in the UK last year, roughly a quarter of a million, than ever before. Updating the C64 would be both a risk and expensive. In any case, a launch is definitely ruled out this year and as yet no development machines have gone out to software houses.
THE BEST EVER C64 GAMES This is the first part of my all time top C64 games. It's a personal choice so if you disagree why not write in? The games in the selection are a mixture of both my own favourites and those which represent the pinnacle of C64 code in different formats. Getting excited? Then take a seat in a cosy armchair and prepare yourself for thrills.

As you might expect of a children’s bestseller, gameplay is simplistic, consisting primarily of finding objects or people and then running for the exit.
Il’s a shame Gremiin has replicated the board-game rather enhancing it by exploiting potential of the computer. If it has the ambition to cross the Space Crusade sequel with, say Laser Squad,

The battle of the consoles is over, but the fight between Sega and Nintendo has only just begun. In one corner, Sonic sharpens his spines, in the other, Mario casually waxes his moustache without a worry. What will be the outcome?

The dynamic duo made their first appearance in the arcades about a decade ago, and pitted the skills of the player against the brute force of Donkey Kong.
Their latest escapade, Super Mario World on the Super Famicom, is arguably the most playable platform game on the market across all formats. However, Sega has spent years developing the game to counter-attack Mario’s success, Sonic the Hedgehog.
VAST EXPANSES
For those of you who haven't had the privilege of playing Super Mario World, it is a cute platform romp of immense proportions — over 90 levels in all. Sonic, on the other hand, offers a mere 18, although they are bigger in size and span great lengths in both height and width. ‘ With such an enormous task ahead of you, the re- writable EPROM cartridge that Mario is supplied on means that the games player could play to certain stages of the game and then save the game in one of three slots.

indispensable as he runs around the cog-like wheels to make his way to Robotnik's lair
Unfortunately Sonic doesn’t have a similar option,
- although a number of continue credits can be earned by
completing the special bonus levels.
The overall image of Sega’s Sonic is minute compared to the enormity of the Mario character, especially in the States. Nintendo's Mario has had cartoons, crisps, candy bars, kiddies clothes, toys and even a film based on him, and is now considered somewhat of a cult character.
One of the most appealing features of both of the games is the characterization of both Sonic and Mario. Mario, an ageing Italian, is
instantly likeable due to the way he is perfectly animated in all of his games.
Sonic, a frowning hedgehog out to save his animal friends, is humorously created by the way he zooms around the intricately designed levels, his legs spinning ten-to-the-dozen and his eyes bulging under the strain of supersonic travel!
Back to Sonic, the plot is one of liberation. Your friends have been animal-napped by the evil Doctor Robotnik. He has transformed Sonic’s bush-buddies into killer ‘bots which roam the eight lands that our heroic hedgehog must explore.
A WHOLE IMAGINATION OF WORLDS The worlds that Sonic will visit are as follows. The first is the Green Hill zone, a blooming land of trees and shrubbery. Next, the Marble zone, is a place where the

Finally the Scrap Brain zone is a space age area 7h Dr Robotnik’s hide-out just a single step away.

mammal. For instance, the Spring Yard is, suprisingly enough, a level comprised of platforms and moving blocks, with the only clear path through being by using the red and yellow spring-boards which propel the character at tremendous pace.
Most hedgehogs use their spines as defence but Sonic, being as ‘ard as nails, uses them to spike his enemies and turn them ‘back into the forest dwellers they once were.
Control over Mario requires the use of all your digits because the four coloured buttons are used to control the character's actions — including jumping, running and picking up objects — and the directional pad serves to move him.
Sonic on the other hand only has one use for the three buttons on the Mega Drive joypad — the Super Sonic Spin attack! The d-pad controls the hedgehog’s movement, and can also make him roll into a ball by running along and tapping down.
DOUBLE VISION
The two games are similar in a number of ways, one of which being the inclusion of a special bonus level. To gain access to these extra screens you have to collect a certain number of items.
Mario has to pick up a hundred stars, and Sonic must collect a large quantity of rings, as well as leaping through a huge golden hoop at the end of a level.
In Mario, the extra level is similar to a rotating fruit- machine, with one-ups being the prize. Glass cases circle a static power-up. Inside the spinning boxes more bonuses cycle through the various power-ups, and the basic gist is to match the icons together.
Sonic’s secret zone is a 360 rotating maze where you must ricochet through the network in an attempt to collect the Chaos gem. Extra lives and continue options can be collected by simply touching the corresponding block, and Sonic can even change the direction of the spinning maze by brushing against the tunnel walls.
Those who have played Super Mario world will most

probably know about the numerous secret levels that can be found. These are usually located by accident, and are activated by inserting a huge gold key into the relevant keyhole. ;
This will open up a new path for Mario or Luigi to follow. Sonic also has secret sections to find, these being invisible pathways hidden in brick walls. Although they are simply rooms, they offer a new dimension to the game and you'll be trying to locate these concealed chambers even after you’ve completed the game!
Both of the products have their fair share of power- ups. To boost Sonic’s capabilities he can collect a shield which prevents you from losing your rings when attacked. The Power Sneakers™ give you the ability to run at supersonic speeds, and the invincible icon makes Sonic invulnerable for a limited period.
Mario has more at his disposal, and can ride dinosaurs, fly with the aid of feathers and even spit flames by collecting the fire plant.
The star awards invulnerability, and the mushroom is equivalent to the rings in Sonic — the first hit will remove the
safeguard, either the mushroom or the rings, and any subsequent
attack will take away a life.
Both games have an end of level guardian, each with a particular attack pattern to learn. Mario’s guardians comprise of numerous different nasties, but Sonic will have to constantly deal with Robotnik who appears with a new weapon each time. Pe

John’s comment. Can Sonic take on the Nintendo hero? Well he's definitely cuter isn't he? The game itself is colourful and incredibly fast, making it more impressive to look at than the young Italian lads. Unfortunately cur spiky friend doesn’t give you as much gameplay as Mario, so you could find yourself exhausting all of the possibilities. Overall, | think Mario still has the edge in terms of playability but I can't help thinking that future incarnations of Sonic will be increasingly wonderful. We shall see!
Nick's comment
So this is Sonic? It’s probably the best locking game I've ever seen on the Mega Drive. in fact, it knecks spots off of these twe Italian chaps. However, having played the game myself and witnessed Alex ‘call me Sonic’ Simmons complete it, I'd have to question the longevity.
1 would say the Mario Brothers still have the edge. Then again, those darn Italians have had four different adventures and if Senic this good on his first outing, just imagine how good he’s going to look on his fourth anniversary!
Alex's comment
First appearances will make you think that Mario hasn't got a leg to stand on, but it's only when you begin to play the game that you realise the game fails on a few gripes.
I don't expect to purchase a game for £40 and compiete it in under two days. My second moan is although the graphics are stunning, the gameplay has been forgotten somewhat.
Don't get me wrong, Sonic is by far the best game on the Mega Drive, but Sega have a lesson to learn from Mario in terms of playability.

0 what's fresh and hot on the Spectrum at the moment then? Well besides a _ scrummy
sausage roll | left on the computer there have been some great games going about.
On the full price side of things US Gold has just released Meres (£11.99), a multilevel eight way scrolling shoot’em- up where you take on the role of a soldier trained in anti-terrorist tactics.
Blasting of a different kind is available in the new game from Audiogenic, Wreckers (£10.99). You are one of three keepers of the space station Beacon 04523N and with your control robots have to keep the station running at all costs.

If you collect the three disks on this and the next two issues, and return them with a small sum to cover p&p we'll send you a game for your machine! Tune in next week for details of which games we'll be handing out.
can still get killed by falling off the train though.
Edd The Duck Type in WILSON on level three and you will receive a helping hand throughout the level.
Cavemania Type in ROK as your name on the high
score table and you will get infinite everything when you start playing.
Navy Seals On the high score table type in CLUBBING SEASON. You will then be given information on how to cheat.
Gremlins 2 - The Final Batch All you have to do is type in your name
as SINATRA on the high score table. You will then find you have infinite lives.
NEXT WEEK...

SPIKE IN TRANSYLVANIA CODE MASTERS —
Spike In Transylvania is the new one from Code Masters, one of the best budget software houses _ around. It follows the story of Spike the Viking. He was shipwrecked along with some of his _ _ mates in Transylvania and being a little on the drunk side they were arrested and locked up in _ prison. Spike managed to escape the grip of the local fuzz, but us without his ans chums was Rot much fun, ___ The idea of the game is to liberate all Spike's friends from prison. This is done in classic arcade adventure style by _ picking up objects in one location and using them in another. __ The land of Transylvania is shown in a semi 3D style
BUDGET BONANZA
game will appeal more to the younger audient Spike in Transylvania is a fun little gi e. At £2.99 can’t go wrong. /

As for the Mega Drive, there is a rumour that the price will be slashed to compete with the release of the Super NES — formerly the Famicom — and will be bundled with Sonic the Hedgehog and Mickey Mouse.

When there’s not much on tele these lads do the ‘sensible’ thing, trash the box and set about creating great entertainment; Chris Yates - MEGA, Jon Hare — lo, Chris Chapman — MANIA.
lo MANIA: “This project has actually been on the boil for two years, and it started out very different to how it ended. We had this brainstorm of an idea for a shoot'em-up with an element of management.
Instead of plucking extra weaponry out of the air, as you do in just about every blast, you actually had to mine the materials design the weaponry and manufacture it of 16 sectors. You would have to identify what resources
yourself. Controlling this mothership, you would wear and elements could be mined and learn how the
two hats, that of pilot and weaponry manufacturer.” materials could be fashioned into weaponry.” Jon identified yet more links with MEGA lo MANIA:
“There were going to be robots which you built and put The links between a shoot’em-up management and a __ into suspended animation where they would procreate in game of evolution and civilization seem less tenuous as preparation for a deciding battle. Or you could deploy Jon explained further: them to mine or design the weaponry. This would be the

, jy e’ve got Mrs Thatch to thank for Sensible /\\7 Software! Five years ago, team leaders Jon Hare and Chris Yates, had completed their contract at LT Software and were unemployed, then they turned to the Enterprise Initiative.
Jon Hare: “Forty quid doesn’t stretch very far, but Chris and | had basic development kit and being ' boracic is a big kick in the pants to get out there and earn.”
With Sodov the Sorcerer, Twister, International Karate and Skyfox already under their belts, messrs Hare and Yates set up shop at Chris’ house, and over the next couple of years churned out such successes as Microprose Soccer, Wizzball, The Shoot’em-up Construction Kit and International 3 Tennis.
Jon Hare recalled the inspirations behind MEGA
36 GAMES-X 27TH JUNE-3RD J
But after pedalling the design around the software publishers with barely a nibble of interest, it was back to the drawing—board. “We were a bit disheartened, but we stripped the design down to try and identify the problem. Our first theory was that there were loads of shoot’em- ups around and the market didn’t need another one.” But the team made a far more significant discovery. Jon continued: “The game was giving too much technology right from the start, and because there was no element of evolution, there was no need to advance. This meant that the aspect of "design and invention was pointless.”
Long before Populous, Hare and Yates ' decided to set their game of invention and evolution in a civilization.
“We wanted to humanize the game and so we replaced the robots with people and Stripped back the technology level to prehistoric. We set up a team with programmer Chris Chapman and Joe Walker and came up with the scenario.”
Slowly, a story evolved of an orb which gives birth and develops planets. The last stage in this process is to introduce intelligent life, and it is here that gods throughout the universe challenge each other for the right to govern the civilization in a game of evolution.
Jon explained: “MEGA lo MANIA is split up into epochs, beginning with prehistoric. Through a process of mining the planet, you can discover the resources of the land and use these materials to create weapons and tools.
Of course, in early stages of evolution this is just sticks to hit with and rocks to throw. But if your invention advances evolution, you progress through Old Testament to Roman and Norman times and with each advance, you have more resources and intelligence to work with.”
Each game consists of four epochs and there is a Stage that you cannot go beyond. However, in the next attempt, you begin at Old Testament and you can go to Medieval times. Then you start in Roman times and if you succeed you end up in Victorian era and so on.
Jon carried on: “Eventually you begin in Victorian times and arrive at a level similar to our present point of evolution. Then finally, if you start at World War |, you reach the space age level and here you can put men in suspended animation for the mother of all wars.”
MEGA lo MANIA features 300K of digitized speech, courtesy of music/fx genius, Richard Joseph. This is not a frivolous waste of memory as the voice points out that / one epoch is over and other is beginning.
4 Jon: “Your progress is a process of mining natural materials and setting your . men to design weaponry ‘and tools. The more you mine, design and anufacture, the more chnologically advanced
“Further up the evolution ladder, you have the materials and know how to invent flying . machines ~ Spitfires in fact. This initiative is actually given
to you by what your opponents are equipped with. As evolution moves on to nuclear weapons and then SDI, the resources will be there in seams beneath the ground, and as you advance you must use your experience to build adequate weaponry.”
MEGA lo MANIA can be played offensively or defensively, but you must remember your objectives — to manage your civilization, advance evolution and prepare for the final battle by putting a number of men in suspended animation.
In theory, you can be mining up to 56 seams, and
From epoch to epoch you must mine the planet's resources and discover ways of constructing weaponry and tools
Benen the land is a seam of natured resources which must be mined
with all the inventing going on, you will be swamped with messages:
Jon concluded: “At the nuclear weapon stage, if someone fires a nuke it's far more devastating than being hit by a rock from a giant catapult, and so you've got to build nuclear defence fast. If you’re successful, you can mount SDI equipment on top of a turret and take a nuke out of the sky — it turns into an advanced version of the paper, stone, scissors game.”
The inspirational MEGA lo MANIA is due for release in September — don’t miss it!
This is your ir land. You must fight for the fene to govern it in a race of evolution
Your ojective is to maintain your civilisation and accelerate the course of evolution

Early in the campaign their most formidable adversaries were the superb Messerschmitt ME-109 fighter and the Focke-Wolf 190.
However, towards the end of the war, Germany’s fabled scientists and engineers contributed some genuinely awesome new weapons.
Best known is the Messerschmitt ME-262, a twin-engine fighter with an amazing top speed 150 miles an hour more than the P-51. Armed with both rockets and cannons, the ME-262 seemed virtually invincible.

® Does the official UK Mega Drive play official USA MD carts?
i. Simmons, Liskeard.
@ PAL is prolonged active life for dogs — has marrowbone jelly in don’t ya know. Seriously, it stands for Phase Alternate Line and has something to do with the video signal and the quality of colour emanating from the console.
@ The Mega Drive is certainly a fine piece of equipment. As to whether it and the cartridges are worth the money, is something that strictly depends on your financial point of view. In other words, if | had the dosh I'd buy it. The carts are becoming far better value for money with an emphasis on enhanced and more extended gameplay.

@ Noguides to spare I'm afraid.
@ Don't know about Super Off Road Racer, but I've asked the Wood Gnome to find out for you,
@ The UK Mega Drive and the US Genesis are the same machine except for the casing. The cartridges will run on both.

Please don't tell anyone that I’ve got a Game Boy (tough! — Unc).
By the way is your art editor the Jonathan Ross?
PS If you print this letter all my family will probably buy Games-X. James Urmston, sunny. Manchester.
You obviously know the reason I'm printing this letter. Hopefully, you have a very large family, James — nine brothers and sisters, no end of uncles and aunts, grandparents right up to great, great on both sides, plus three dogs, seven cats, gerbils and hamsters by the score, and a pond full of fish, frogs and newts: and of course they are going to buy one mag each, aren't they?
Yes our art editor is the Jonathan Ross, probably not the one and only, but as far as Keri is concerned the one.
| was wondering how a complete moron like Dr X gets mentioned so much, especially on YOUR page. | think you should feature more and more, and the Doc should get a swift belt over the cranium with a disk drive using extreme force.
{ reckon you are great and | love X- it. It helps a lot with boredom — you know reading ST Action etc.
Could you please tell me if you know of anyone selling a Mega Drive for
around £100 because | hope te be
getting one soon? : Well, got to go and sit outside Asda
for another week to wait for Games-X to
reappear on the shelves.
Guy Colbon, Wallasey.
Trouble is, the moron, as you so aptly call him, has some kind of hold over Pam, our production editor (fweep — Dr X), who is the last to see these pages before they go to print — wouldn't surprise me if these comments mysteriously vanish. Don’t you think it would be a bit of a waste of a disk drive?
Glad you like X-it, but try not to run poor Alan Bunker down too much, he does his best! i
Can't help you get a cheaper Mega Drive other than getting a friend who’s going to the States to bring one back, but then | think our customs people might get a tad interested.
} have been reading your mag almost since it was launched. | feel it is good value for money, but why do you put Go- Global in? (here we go again — Unc) My friends and | reckon that it’s rubbish, get rid of itt!
Here are a few pointers for Garmes- X (wow, thanks! ~ Une):
1 am going to buy a Game Gear soon, but | want to see more screenshots. The Lynx and the Game Gear have much better graphics than the Game Boy and | do appreciate there are more games, but give us a break! (where would you like it, arms, legs or head? ~ Une)
Why do you have a poster in this mag? Who wants a picture of people that nobody ever heard of before on their wall?
Finally, in your Gallup Charts why don’t you replace the Spectrum chart with a hand held one as hardly anybody has Spectrums anymore?
Apart from that | think that Games-X
is the best mag on the market (glad we meet with your approval ~ Une). Andrew Wallace, Pinner,
1 know what I'll do — put all the Go-Global fors and againsts in a field and let them fight it out. Will someone please let me know the result.
The more Game Gear carts that come out the more we can review, We can't just make them up. | must insist that it's unfair to compare the graphics of the Gear with the Boy — they are quite simply different, and suit different games and pockets. But saying that, R-Type is available on the Game Boy!
Don't like the posters, eh? Well then, don’t put them on your wall and let us know what you'd like to see on the poster pages.
Are you trying to start a war or something, there are loads of Spectrum users out there? As for the hand held reviews we do those already did you but notice: well, for the Game Boy anyway!
Keep sending in those wonderfully critical letters.
mM going to the US in July and am hoping to buy the Engine GT out there. ® Will carts bought in this country work on the US GT? ® ls it true that the screen can become dlurred due to the carts being designed for the big screen? @ if | bought a mains adaptor in this country will the GT run off it? @® Can carts and the GT become damaged by X-ray machines? @ Could you give me the price of a GT in the States?
Please answer these questions soon as I've got a Speccy and | want to know that | can finally get rid of it! Darren Murray, Herts.
Aren't you lot asking some questions this week? Alright for some nipping across the pond for your hols — can | come too? ® Carts bought here will work on the US GT.
® Haven't run across any problems with screen blurring up to now.

! bet you loved the Speccy once |
upon a time, so don't run it down. Oh, and a word of advice, do declare your purchase at customs when you return to the UK, you may have to pay some duty, but it’s better than being confiscated!
DISAPPOINTED: * | own an Amstrad GX4000. | bought it because at the time the graphics, colour and sound was great.
Navy Seals and Robocop I! are two excellent games for 8-bit technology, but when | got Batman and Operation
Thunderbolt, | found the graphics and colour very disappointing. At £25 a time it is very expensive to find this out after you've bought the game.
Are there any software houses making good quality games, which are better all round. $ Smith, Coalville.
Not Simon Smith and his amazing dancing bear! Any chance your town has, or once had mining connections?
Some games are disappointing when you buy them for a number of reasons, that's why mags like Games-X are around, to try and help you make your choice, Even if mags don't mention your particular format, have a look at game reviews on other machines = it is usually the case that conversions are not too dissimilar in quality of product.
| have a few ideas to spruce up Games- X and make it the most interesting magazine this side of Alpha Centauri (isn’t it already? - Une).
PD and shareware releases are a godsend to us poor-pocketed PC owners (my heart bleeds ~ Unc). Why don’t you review some of the brilliant shareware recently released, such as Captain Comic and Commander Keen?
Mario Brothers is the most playable and addictive game on the market, yet it is only available on the Nintendo, Have they any plans to release the game on home computer format? If not can you recommend a good platform game available for the PC that | can waste my free time on? Is it worth waiting for Sonic the Hedgehog?
1am looking to buy a mouse-driven adventure game (thought you said you were skint? ~ Une), something with decent puzzles but not too difficult. | was thinking of Wonderland or Monkey Island. What do you think?
Neil Laidier, Tolworth.
We are starting to get regular items of PD and shareware into the office, so keep your eyes peeled,
As far as | know Mario Bros are not going to appear on home computer formats in the immediate future,
However, Sonic is and from the look of the game on the Mega Drive, you will soon become a convert!
Monkey Island is a fair bet, but don’t rule out Heart of China.
