G ames-X reports from the Rock Garden Café, Covent Garden and _ the Trocadero in Piccadilly, for the launch of virtual reality machines, or Virtuality.
At the Rock Garden Café, two Nightmare units have been installed enabling you to move in a maze-like world. Here two players try and eliminate the other with a computer- simulated image mirroring everything that each of the human players do.
Within the mask, stereo speakers boom
out digitized music. As you move your head up, down, left and right, you can look around and move within this incredible 3D world.
A belt goes around your waist from which a joystick is attached. This joystick controls a pistol and as you aim the gun, you can see the barrel moving on screen.
At the Rock Garden launch, we spoke to

VIRTUALITY LAUNCH
the designer of Virtuality, Dr Jonathan Waldern: “These ‘Nightmare’ systems are inter-changeable so that they can run different games as we develop and release them. Nightmare is a chase and kill game, but we’ve also got four racing machines which will run a stock car racing game called Total Destruction. We also have a Virtuality machine running an aircraft sim.” At the Trocadero launch, the metal shutter door enclosing the Virtuality unit, slid upwards, with much dry ice billowing out, flashing lights and a robotics dancer.
Meanwhile, upstairs in the arcade, the Virtuality aircraft simulation was doing a roaring trade - even at £2 a throw. Is it worth two sovs?
I asked 14 year-old Andrew Baxter, who
emerged from the helmet drenched in |
sweat: “It’s a great experience, you can see planes coming right at you from all directions - the speed is incredible. When you consider that most of the sit-in coin-op machines are a pound, two quid doesn’t seem much more for the extra realism.”
Whether Virtuality dominates the arcade is in the lap of the punters. The extra realism and effect is astounding, but aren’t we having to pay for progress!
Sturmtruppen is based on one of Europe’s most famous comic strips. Featuring six fun-filled levels, the game sees you assuming the role of our hero as he attempts to single-handedly thwart the enemy onslaught.
Using all the items at your disposal you'll drive Jeeps, ride motorcycles and even fly planes as you outsmart the army. A beat’em-up/shoot'em-up style game, Sturmtruppen will be released by Italian software house, Idea in October. The game will be available on the C64 and Amiga.
f SHOW STOPPER”
The video game consumer event of the year, the European Computer Entertainment Show that was to be held at Earl’s Court from 5th-8th September has been called off. However, the trade
event will continue — thank goodness for that, could do with a booze-up!

inal Blow is the power jaw-smashing coin-op conversion from Ta Storm. This is heavyweight boxing, arcade style, leaving out none of the nose numbing, lip swelling thumps. To mark the forthcoming release of Final Blow, Games-X, courtesy of Storm, presents the The Final Blow Compo. We invite you to take a smack in the chops from Mike Tyson himself. :
We are offering you the chance to win five, yes five boxing kits, which include top quality boxing bags and gloves — as used by the professionals.
Five runners are given the opportunity to build their 4 muscles and perhaps star alongside Arnie in Terminator 3, with a Weider Super Strength Builder!
To stand a chance of winning all you have to do is answer the four questions below and get your entries to us by 10th September, 1991. Send your entries to The Final Blow Compo, Games-X, Europa House, Adlington Park, Macclesfield SK10 4NP.

After playing this game | feel that a better conversion could have been achieved. The graphics, while being colourful and cartoon-like are blocky and slow.
However, the game is playable and somewhat addictive to play. Younger players will lap up the challenge but the game is nowhere near as good as the 16-bit counterparts.
These can be regained by shooting the right man out in the field.
Graphically the game is colourful and fairly nice to look at, sound too is of a similar quality. When you actually get down to playing the game however, something changes.
Fighting the bad guys can become very tedious and this lowers the fun factor of the game. Although it isn’t in the same class as many conversions it is an average offering for the C64.

Sounds like fun? Well, in the arcade it most certainly is, while on computer it’s very sub-standard. The Spectrum version is the best one available due to a keyboard control option. This makes it closer to the arcade version in which you pressed a button in order to paddle.
The main reason the ea game isn’t very good is that you control the game using a joystick. This tends to alienate arcade fans.
Graphically the game is average with a nice use of colour. The music has been completely ruined in the conversion; gone is the up-beat dude- tune!

week from lan Harling. It’s difficult to believe that this self-confessed ‘hopeless artist’ was the creator of the stunning pictures and sequences in Flag. I's even more incredible when you realise that every picture and animated sequence in Flag is original, and painstakingly drawn pixel by pixel, with not a digitizer in sight. “I get a bit tired of telling people that my stuff isn’t digitized, but | think it would be big-headed to put the fact in the credits.”
MR RELIABLE
Over four years lan Harlin, became known as someone you could rely on when a graphic artist screwed up ona game. “| used to get these calls from publishers asking for anything, from intro screens to full, in-game graphics, and they always had to be finished by yesterday.”
Although lan was rarely out of work, he saw this period as a deep rut. “If anything, at least working on different games, under pressure, | could try a variety of approaches and styles. But | started to get sick of being a ‘patch-up’ artist, and so | began to turn down more and more work to concentrate on original projects.”
lan teamed up with Isle of Wight-based, teenage programmer, Simon Cooke, who had developed an unusual amount of knowledge and skill for his tender years, and soon realised that they worked well together, Their first original project, Lost Patrol, proved to be a very trying time for Harling and Cooke.
They were now even more determined to outdo Cinemaware in combining movie quality presentation with interaction, action and adventure.
Flag was the result of much soul-searching by Envision. lan: “In Lost Patrol, we were trying to present the game with different gameplay styles — we now realise that this was a pretty pointless exercise.”
(0 i can’t draw free hand to save my life.” Quote of the
_ Harling's dynamic graphics create atmosphere, __ Set scenes and tell stories. If you think this is __ art for art's sake, think again : ae
This overlord looks d Marvel at the stunnii
Exercising your omnipotent power within Civilization games like Populous really swells your head. Se take off that ridiculous imperial, ermine trimmed cloak and laurel crown, because as Jason Spiller discovers, Envision’s Flag, to be published soon by Gremlin, will have you mucking in with the
other mere mortals.
The first stage in the Flag project was to strip the whole game idea down to basics, with the straight- forward objective being opponent's flag.
lan explained: “We noticed a similarity with the
that of capturing your

Paintball/Skirmish objective, but in the game, a flag is simply a basic symbol, an objective to aim for and capture. Our idea is that a player can enter this world, settle in immediately and play without having to refer to instructions.
Of one thing we were sure, unlike Lost Patrol, the scenario in Flag was going to be the last thing we were going to think about.”
ATMOSPHERIC INTRO
Harling designed and drew an incredible intro sequence to set the scene and atmosphere for the game. In his dark and sinister lair Hearn the Great Wizard has created a desktop world, a small civilization which he controls and within which he can cause mayhem and disaster if he so pleases.
The land is split down the middle by a river with only one bridge. The wizard built two villages either side of the river and populated it with a society of pharmacists, alchemists, builders, soldiers and even robbers.
Then he decreed that every 20 years the villages must fight against each other to the death to gain possession of the opponent's flag. The victor would win peace for the next two decades whilst the defeated
ja

would be forced to serve the wizard in pain and humiliation.
lan explained the structure of the game: “You play one of the village leaders in command of a potential 50 soldiers or workers, : depending on your strategy. You | begin with a limited amount of gold which obviously represents your buying power, and with it you can conscript villagers into the army or into a building workforce.
DOSH DEMENTIA
“If you choose to play defensively, you can command your people to build protective walls at strategic points. Offensive action would obviously mean that you dispatch an army to attack the other village.”
As in most adventures money plays an important part and dealings with merchants can bring in extra wealth — you can also rob enemy traders. With all this wizardry, magic obviously occupies a key role in the game.
War between villages breaks out every 20 years as decreed by the Great Wizard. You must prepare = adequate defences or be ready to flee ie
lan: “With the gold, you can buy spells from the village alchemist to perform such tasks as strengthening your army.” Levels are constructed as if a player is passing through time, meeting and competing against successive leaders. lan continued: “The first decision is where to place your flag, making it as difficult as possible for the enemy to capture. This creates a great number possibilities and makes the game extremely open-ended.” Unlike games such as Powermonger, there’s no setting sl .. or peripheral building, it's straight into the thick of it in Flag. lan doesn’t see the point of creating unnecessary hurdles in the way of an objective.
MAYHEM AND DRAGONS
The battle is fought on the home front. You must

defend against the aggressor and then reconstruct damaged buildings, or attack your opponent's village, armed with battering rams. In between assaults, there are saboteurs who infiltrate and cause mayhem, dragons which strike fear into the hearts of the people, and a terrible plague to decimate your population. Obviously there will be enough happening to keep even the most power-crazed megalomaniac occupied.
Both graphically and technically, Flag is incredibly advanced. The stunning intro sequence is a cinematic treat which leads into a game that is no less impressive with a full screen 3D world. This is a triumph of sheer hard work over machine limitation.
lan: “Without Simon’s skill the whole thing would have ground to a halt. The 3D takes up the full screen and there’s some 18 layers of masking, with the sprites being able to move behind and in front of objects such as houses. The scroll is multi-directional and there can be as many as 25 sprites on screen at one time pushing the processor to the limit.”
Flag is the most impressive looking game I’ve seen in production for this autumn. If you're a fan of the type of game originally inspired by Populous, you cannot, nay must not miss this one.

of your life and all that you stand for...
Kunitoki has placed his evil minions within the temples, thus infiltrating the holy priesthood and corrupting the forces of good.
To rid the world of all these rather distressing problems you must travel through the dimensions, retrieve the scrolls and finally, destroy Kunitoki once and for all.
iD You begin your mission in the realm of earth, Your main objective is to find the scroll and escape from the dimension through the gateway, which is guarded by a large, end- of-level, meanie-type person.
Dashing around each dimension you will come across numerous mean- | looking chappies from karate experts to large unfriendly people wielding enormous, blunt instruments.
As well as this, there are also multitudinous natural B hazards which must be overcome by physical dexterity and mental prowess.
To aid you in your exploration, you carry with you a prayer wheel, an object of considerable use, that will inform you of any objects which may be hidden earby. This is especially | helpful when you consider

that you will have to make many of your weapons and tools yourself.
For example, the Nunchukas — the funny bits of wood and chain that the ninja’s spin around their heads — must be built by using two pieces of branch and (oddly enough) a length of chain.
All of these items can be found in the first dimension and will automatically be fitted together when you've collected them.
As you gain experience by
defeating the hordes of bad guys, your level of Bushido will increase. What on earth is Bushido?
Well, it’s the Ninja equivalent of

As you progress through the levels, different meanies will require you to nave gained a certain level of Bushido defore you are capable of defeating them. If you don’t possess enough, you've got no chance!
THE SAME, BUT DIFFERENT
You may well be curious about how it compares to the previous ninja games from System 3.
Well, both the graphics and the control methods have been vastly mproved. One of the major complaints about the original was that the joystick controls were a pain in the backside.
Now, instead of having to effectively rotate your character to move around the 3D environment, you nave much more direct control.
This is because a lot of emphasis nas now been placed upon the
deat’em-up elements — much more so than in previous versions.

he final ninja game! The last Last
Ninja! But is it the definitive adventure/beat'em-up?
Well, graphically this certainly is a considerable improvement over its predecessors. Check out some of the screen shots across these pages - pretty neat, eh?
The sprites and backgrounds are both obviously influenced by console games and manage to evoke a very Oriental feel.
As you can see the sprites are much larger this time round and the detail in some of the animations is very nifty. It's especially complicated on some of the more furturistic meanies in the fater levels.
The larger of the bad guys are also very impressive as they proceed to mangle and pulverize you into a quivering pulp. Some of them just have to be seen to be believed! They're all much better than in the previous ninja games.
The sound is also of a very high quality. Each of the different levels has its own atmospheric sound track which drives the game along, gaining in pace as
~you reach sections of increasing tension.
Gameplay sees a vast improvement over the previous Last Ninja titles. Due to the shift of emphasis towards a sort of ‘thinking man’s beat’em-up’, it is much easier to get into.
The overall effect will doubtless combine to create an even greater appeal than ever before.
The sheer number of locations and objects which can be found ensure that you will return again and again to solve the many puzzles that are presented.
If you're a fan of either arcade adventures or ninja style hack ’n’ slash games you could do far worse than this!

Quick manoeuvres to avoid the force field are required to ‘complete this level. Press the
idden button first, then dash through the gaps, pushing each button as you escape
After cutting off the water stream, nimble dexterity is required © escape. You need ‘© aim your webs, cling on to the side, l@ap upwards, spin nother web, and land on the ceiling. It may ‘ake quite a while to master this, but it’s all good practise
GENERAL TIPS FOR SWINGING SPIDERMAN
Always study each screen thoroughly,
looking for hidden switches, exits, monsters and the type of wall. It may seem trivial, but if you want to survive and progress, you've got to do it
Practise your swing. Even if your mode
of escape is temporarily blocked, you can do a lot worse than aim a web randomly It will hold you for a short time while you
make a snap decision as to whether to run |
for it, aim a web to safety, or stand your ground and fight
Mysterio has set up areas of strange
gravity which could suck you away from your intended target. The only possible way to av this is to fire well aimed webs at attachable surfaces and grab the limited amount of space available
Facing robots or other bizarre baddies
often requires good _ strategic planning. Stun them with a well placed web or, if you're stuck in a tunnel, ensure the nasties are at one end while you shelter on a secure patch of roof
Make a map. You'll often find yourself
transported back to an earlier area and the trick is to dash back to your present place. However, check all the exits — they too may emerge somewhere new...

One of the advantages in Neo- Geo are the graphics. A 16-bit microprocessor combined with games that are _ specifically \ designed for the system, rather : than being adaptations from A home computer games, means « the player is getting a choice of quality games in one cabinet. So far it has proved a winner.
Something else with Neo-Geo that may take off in the future is its memory card application which allows the player to save the game he or she is playing onto a card, should they have to leave. On returning the game may be picked up from

Following on from last week's piece on Nintendo's multi-game | system Playchoice, here is a little insight into its rivals for this lucrative segment of the video game market.
[ Wi he two competitors to Nintendo are companies also well placed in the manufacture of home
Ba computer games. Making the biggest impact is |
Neo-Geo from SNK. This multi-cgame system, now
about one year old, has stolen a good portion of the
American and UK markets and is already a
dominant force in Japan.
For the UK, Neo-Geo comes in two versions, one specifically for the arcade market, the other for single sites. The arcade cabinet offers one or two players a choice from six game titles, although the entire SNK library now stands at about 20.
The latest additions to the range, Sengoku, King Of The Monsters and Ghost Pilot are all chart topping software titles in the USA and are eagerly awaited in the UK.
Major hits on the system in the UK include Top Players Golf, which has Caught onto the boom in golfing video games, and more _ surprisingly, Baseball Stars.
Although not a British sport, baseball on video has become a prominent addition across arcades in the UK, and has been one of the most popular offerings on Neo-Geo so far.

globs into a position where you can capture your opponents globs.
Bear in mind however, that while you are looking to outwit them, your opponent is doing exactly the same to you, so watch your back! The one with the most globs at the end of the stage is the winner. Ataxx also has several levels of gameplay, so if you conquer one there is an even tougher stage around the corner. A compulsive test that is worth hunting out if you fancy your chances as a strategist.
Sagaia from Taito, on the other hand, is a mind- blowing conundrum of colour and sound effects in an exciting, scrolling, inter-galactic war game for fans of the shoot'em-up style of video. After successfully bombing a huge battleship, players receive the option of their next course. Your fate hangs on your selection!
Different zones hold different enemies, each with their own powers. Starting at the Sun Zone the player confronts the Lion Fish and attack should centre on its known weak point, the inside of its mouth. From there the player battles against the Angler and Balloon fish, the Moray Eel and the Angel Fish amongst others.
The final stage is the Jupiter Zone which holds three different enemies. Are you good enough to progress this far?

At first, the action is viewed from the front and slightly above your character. You must roam the land and explore the different shops scattered around.
However, as each shopkeeper replies in Japanese, buying equipment successfully is down to luck or brilliant translation skills! Not only can you purchase new weaponry, but you can collect items such as yo-yos which, although they don’t sound too dangerous, are fatal on contact.
Having scoured the area for anything of importance, the action soon turns toa horizontally scrolling run-and-jump action game a la Ghouls ’n’ Ghosts.
Geoman the Warrior includes some excellent features, the superb sub-game Nemisis among others.

Try them all out, look at the range of games available on each, fumble your pockets to see how much you can afford, and make your own decision.
Oh, by the way my cousin tells me he got a Lynx 2 from Argos. So if you find the Lynx is too big, but you quite fancy getting one, you now know where to buy the smaller, newer version.
Brian's ugliness is a bit of a throwback from a member of his family deep in the mists of time. However, just to make sure it's permanent, he sits at his desk and makes faces in a mirror all day long!

Saying a company is thinking of doing something is like saying an ice cream might not melt!
Certainly for the current Lynx it is extremely unlikely since it has no expansion port. The new one doesn’t either although technically the machine is certainly capable — with some tweaking.
