GET SENSIBLE
Following the huge success of Mega lo Mania, Mirrorsoft has signed up Sensible Software. To be released in ’92 is to be Mega lo Mania part two.
In addition there will be a totally original strategy war game with a wacky twist. Commenting on the new signing, Sensible’s chief, Jon ‘March’ Hare said “If the milkman calls | left a £10 under your slippers.”

Traditionally, soccer games are really successful with such smashes as Manchester Utd Europe and Kick Off 2 well and truly dominating the charts.

STEG
ave you seen that advert, the one where the actors all say “I want to be a....”? Well, here’s your big chance to be a slug! Steg may be slippery and slimy, but he’s also very cute! Set in a series of dank caverns, Steg must strive to keep as many baby slugs alive as possible.
In order to achieve this Steg must feed the little blighters with tasty morsels which he must entrap in bubbles before grabbing them. To aid him Steg may use the trampolines and bellows dotted around the place. Perhaps the best features are the special objects he can collect. Speed-ups in the form | of a nitrous oxide injection kit, Acme strap-on bionic legs and a super jet pack are all hidden within the levels. Steg will be available from Code Masters on the Amiga and ST in February. Spectrum, Commodore 64 and Amstrad CPC versions will follow shortly afterwards. |

Armed with a trusty pistol you must traverse the horizontally — scrolling scenario as you work your way towards potential Mafia membership.
Being fairly closed in and ‘family’ orientated, the mafia isn’t all that hot on outsiders and consequently decides that shooting at you repeatedly with numerous automatic weaponry is a suitable course of action.
Being the plucky chap that you are, you battle on, knocking out the hoods
and avoiding innocent bystanders. As the bullets fly, you must carefully shoot characters appearing from behind doors and windows in order to proceed.
To add to the turmoil, while you're attempting to stay alive there are cars zooming along the streets containing overenthusiastic gunmen who take pot- shots at anything that moves!
Once you've escaped the vicious hordes you seek solace in a seedy downtown oar where the peaceful air is more than a little deceiving.
Lurking behind curtains and counters are further gunmen ready to take a pot-shot at the slightest notice. Here you must aim with your cross-hair n true Operation Wolf-style as you blow the bad guys away.

The Godfather is certainly a very impressive game visually speaking and it is more than obvious that ace graphic artist Pete Lyon has put an awful lot of work into this.
The mumereus locations are gorgeously coloured and the sprites are extremely well animated. Add to this some super silky smooth parallax scrolling and you can look forward to a real visual treat.
In accompaniment you get loads of neat sound effects with suitably ‘Godfatherish’ music to add to the overall atmosphere.
Gameplay is something on which this really scores well. Everyone loves a good ol’ shoot’em-up so the chances of this failing are going to have to be pretty slim!
There's loads of violence and blood splattering about all over the place, so it’s safe to say that the intended audience for the game is of a similar age to that of the film.
Some of the scenes are particularly gory so I'd advise you to check things out before buying if you're easily upset by such matters.
Overall, it really is a super game which must go down as being one of the very few film licenses to have actually paid off. It’s not often that a ‘game of the film’ works well, but the months of development ensure that this is to be a real winner.

There can only be one... - Just make sure it's yours,
Love Thy Neighbour? Or Put Him To The Sword? The Choice is Yours,
For the first time, you can take complete control of your own destiny as you attempt
to dominate an entire world,
The King is dead. Long live the King. And the King is you...
Endowed with the divine right to rule, you inherit your father’s Realm on his death, But the fragile peace has been shattered and war rages between the Realms, Now your brief reign has become a fight for survival.
The neighbouring Realms are growing in strength at your expense, Do you build lines of supply to barter with them? Or build armies to battle with them? Each Realm vies to be the ultimate power. There can only be one. Just make sure it's yours...
Created by the award-winning Graftgold development team, REALMS combines the intuitive playability of an arcade game with the depth of strategy usually only found in the most complex simulations,
Enter the world of Realms and you could control: “Over 125,000 square mile of fractally-generated landscape “128 armies, each a thousand strong and with definable battle formations “Countless cities their inhabitants lives and their money
~Six distinct humanoid races

hen the Xenites lost at the end of
the original Xenon, no one realised that they would be back. But back they are, and with a vengeance.
They have planted six time bombs throughout the ages of history and it is up to you to save the world once more.
Piloting an even more § advanced space craft than the first, you must battle through six increasingly difficult levels while trying to finish off the Xenites once and for all.
The craft can be powered-up with a vast array of large weapons, all of which cause major destruction to Xenite
nasties. Most of these weapons will link

ep, a load more American Football games are on the elease schedule to tie in with the Superbow! early | ext year. The first are obviously John Madden ’92 ind Mike Ditka Power Football, (see further on for ull reviews on each).
Following shortly behind is Techmo Super Bowl | for the NES, Techmo Bowl on the Game Boy, Joe _ Moniana ll on the Mega Drive, Joe Montana on the
ame Gear, and Bo Jackson on the Game Boy.
Techmo Bowl on the Game Boy is a surprising!

onto the outside of the craft and they range from missile launchers to wide laser guns.
The lasers are so effective that they plough through anything in their path with the greatest of ease.
There are also many bonus items for you to collect from all over the levels. These are gained by selecting and then blasting open boxes to reveal the items, and range from power-ups to very useful smart bombs.
Throughout the stages there are large mega-beasties to kill, which need an incredible amount of bullets slammed into them before expiring.
When they do so you'll be given a chance to enter the shop in which you can -buy and sell items. Everything you will ever need in the game can be bought here: energy, weapons, power-ups and even the infamous Bitmap shades! The better the weapon the more it’ll cost.
Xenon 2 is very good in the graphics department, especially when you consider that the Master System is only an 8-bit machine.
All graphics are surprisingly similar to the now classic Amiga version which is an achievement in itself.
Sound too is good, complete with a faithful rendition of Megablast from Bomb the Bass playing throughout.
The only real down points of the game are that the collision
jaccurate conversion of the popular American football
(sim on the NES, while Tecmo Super Bowl is heralded |
|as a more advanced cart than the previous one in that offers a variety of extra features, such as stunning inematic displays.
Joe Montana II is the follow-up to the particularly verage Sega sports simulation. This updated version resents a bundle of new features, the most prominent
_ being the speech that bursts from the speakers for the ajority of the game's duration.
A TV announcer constantly updates the on-field ction by giving detailed play-by-play reports. Short nimated sequences interrupt gameplay, as well as an_
_ appearance by Sonic the Hedgehog! |
Joe Montana on the Game Gear is based around | i@ famous football player's on-field antics on the aster System, while Bo Jackson on the Game Boy is two-in-one cart that features Baseball as well as merican football!
All should be appearing in the next few months, so ole
detection is a bit dodgy. The graphics have the usual Master System flicker to them and when too much emerges on screen the action does tend to slow down a bit.
Nevertheless, this is still a good shoot’em-up and sufficiently violent to keep everyone happy for a while.

CHRISTMAS LYNX TITLES
|More news on the latest Lynx titles soon to appear. |
| The first is Awesome Golf and is billed to be exactly |
E g
hat it says it is — awesome! The game will utilise the Lynx’s power to scale sprites to the full, thus allowing you to zoom into any area of the course and view the shot from almost any angle.
Featuring a complete set of clubs to choose from, it also allows you to compete against numerous other players and on different courses.
Robotron 2084 is an exact conversion of the > William's arcade classic and, like the original, the Lynx | version will feature hectic action, ear-shattering sound,
and stunning visuals.
Xybots was immensely popular in the arcades, and now Atari brings you the Lynx version which
includes great cartoon graphics plus all the action that |
~ appeared in the classic maze-based shoot'em-up.
Finally, there is Crystal Mines 2, a Boulderdash clone, said to be every bit as addictive as the original. Crystal Maze 2, as with the other titles, is due for release over the Christmas season and early 1992.
ry er Se ] td There is a hidden level in this hilarious game, and if you find it you'll be blessed with extra lives as well as a load of other goodies to boot.
To get to it, head to the bottom left of the first §
island and use the icarus wings or the inner tube to
travel across the water and then on to the bottom left
of the world. There'll be a hidden island there, so just fall
through the hole in the centre of the island to get to the
hidden level.
There is a secret stage select screen on this playable
platform game. In order to find it simply enter the:
password ARDE.
lf you want to play in the Digest mode, then enter the code GIL AND KI. Do this and you have the option to warp to the level of your choice.

— cwntown Old Detroit is hell on |B |B Earth. Drugs are pedalled every day and the drug lords are getting increasingly powerful.
To add to this the police are also on strike, meaning that there is no one to stop this mess. However, there is one police officer who continues to work.
He is the metallic lawman, RoboCop, once known as Alex Murphy. He continues to fight crime and battle with the drug lords in a bid for justice and public happiness.
The game, as with the film, centres on his fight against one baron, Cain, who produces the most addictive drug in history, Nuke. Produced by Ocean Software this is a platform game.
You control the metal marauder as he leaps around the levels killing people with a swift bullet to the head and saving members of the general public.
Some of the level scenarios are fabricated and don’t relate to the film in any way. The first level, for instance, sees Cain’s gang having gained control of an ED 209 which you must destroy.
The eventual outcome would hopefully be that you kill Cain and overthrow his drug empire; fail and he'll ruin the City, allowing OCP to build Delta City in the process.
The graphics are very well drawn and the scrolling is smooth with all the sprites looking very cartoonesque. Robo himself is well animated and moves
around quickly enough to make the game addictive.
The controls are easy to master but soundwise it could have perhaps been a little bit better,
RoboCop 2 is one of the best games I've played on the Game Boy and you'd be an idiot to let it pass you by. However, be warned, it is far from easy and can become very annoying indeed.

GAME: MIKE DITKA POWER FOOTBALL MACHINE: MEGA DRIVE PRICE: £34.00 SUPPLIER: KC’S COMPUTERS
nother football game in the same
week? Blimey! Prior to this the only decent American footie game available was John Madden.
Now the coach of the Chicago Bears is putting forward a challenge to push the ageing commentator off his throne.
Mike Ditka Power Football has various match types including a single exhibition game, the play-offs, practice, and the final drive.
The single game is a straightforward match between two teams for either one or two players. The play-off is a competition between 16 teams for the biggest football. :
The practice option is fairly self- explanatory and the final drive is a test to see if you can lead your team to
victory or not. Each quarter can be either three, five, ten or fifteen minutes long, and includes a sudden death. play-off should the result be a tie at the end of the fourth quarter.
Before the opening kickoff a scouting report will appear, which gives you the low-down on each team’s strengths and weaknesses. Next, you will have the option of changing the conditions of the game, starting with the difficulty level of the passing.
“98, 42, 54, 48. Hut! Hut!” screams
the quarterback meaningfully,
Selecting beginner will freeze the action while you toggle through the wide-receivers and choose the pass.
ne However, competing at professional level will require you to plan the pass, avoid the charging linebackers and throw the ball, all at the same time too!
You can also toggie on and off fatigue as well as injuries. Penalties are optional, as are fumbles and the wind.
The game is viewed from behind
the offensive line and scrolis up the pitch when the ball is in play. To choose from the

various moves all you have to do is simply tap button A, B or C according to the diagram
that represents play. Due to the amount of plays included you can change from passing plays to running plays to field goals, or if you’re in trouble punt the ball into your opponent’s half. iu Vm afraid there is no comparison. between Mike Ditka Power Football and John Madden ’92: the latter is far
The game is graphically quite good, but the animation of the players is poor and it runs fairly slowly.
It has a wide variety of options, fatigue for example, while various difficulty settings make the game easy for all types of player. Sadly though Mike Ditka still fails to score a touchdown.

GAME: JOHN MADDEN FOOTBALL 92 MACHINE: MEGA DRIVE PRICE: 639.99 SUPPLIER: ELECTRONIC ARTS
ohn Madden Football - the best
football sim on the Mega Drive and voted by the software industry as the best video game of 1990. But now the best has got better. Madden returns in a bigger, bulkier and beefier ’92 version.
The game is basically the same as the original although it has a number of added features, the first noticeable one being the addition of more teams, thereby increasing the number in the league from 17 to 29, and including sides like the Dallas Cowboys as well as the Pheonix Cardinals.
ih ues
As with the original, you can play in a regular league or, alternatively, start or continue the play-offs, comprising of a sudden death match where the winner is the team who scores first.
Finally, the pre-season allows you to practice without penalties. Having selected the type of game you wish to play you must then change teams, choose between a one or two-player game, (either as team mates or head to head), and decide whether to play five or fifteen minute quarters.
Each team has its own set of statistics and when you begin the match
i
he crowd only go mildly crazy as your team
tumbles forward for a modest gain in yardage
a report will inform you on how well the teams compare to each other in the various areas of the field.
You may also choose which type of stadium to play in. Select a dome and the weather will =~ ne always be fair, whereas competing out in the open allows you to include snow, rain and strong winds.
The weather affects the speed at which your players are able to run, and the wind drastically alters both passing and kicking plays.
John Madden ’92 includes more plays than the original game. Extra moves include running and shooting. Various special moves can be called on by using the audibles.
Each team also has_ substitute players because in this version the players are likely to be injured! When this happens the victim will collapse to the ground before an ambulance rolls up to take him off.
You will then have to change your plays to suit the skill of the new player. You can also use the new action replay option to watch your player getting sacked and pause the action when every bone in his body is being snapped in two!
John Madden ’92 is a definite improvement over the original but maybe
Having two large
gangs of muscly
men bashing into |
each other at speed | | inevitably results in
anasty accident |
owners of the previous game will feel somewhat cheated after purchasing this new version.
This is because the two are virtually identical apart from minor improvements
on the ’92 cart. | can’t say they warrant forking out £40 for a few extra plays and the like.
If you don’t own the original John Madden, buy the ’92 version! If you have the first cart, think very carefully before spending the cash.

CD technology has revolutionised the way we listen to music. Vinyl records are all but redundant and magnetic tapes are under threat. Will the effect on the computer industry
be quite as spectacular...?
<2], 0 what's what? The range of CD units available is huge, and getting larger as you read this magazine. OK, maybe not that quick, but the range is ever expanding. The key
question remains, will the different platforms for a°
CD based system fail to complement each other, with the possibility of cancelling each other out leaving no set format?
Initially an agreed international standard was set, which allowed a CD to have a whopping 650 Megabytes of information on a single 12cm disc. Its potential was very quickly realised and the basis for all CD systems was set in stone.
The robustness of each disc is worthy of note. Whereas magnetic disk systems can easily be wiped, or actually misread by the passing head, the chances of this happening on a compact disc are vastly reduced.
The laser beam reads optical pits in the disc, but doesn’t actually touch the surface. Marks such as fingerprints are ignored because they’re out .of focus to the passing beam.
Phillips CD-ROM - Compact Disc Read Only
Memory — was the first to burst on the scene. Taking the ideals behind audio CD, it utilises the platters as a versatile storage medium for quick retrieval of information.
Basically, its function was that of a monster sized Hard Disk using the 650 Megabyte storage capacity, with the features of full archive but without any save function on it. Although CD-ROM has already set the standard to the home entertainment public, it is lacking in many respects, particularly games. Most are shovelled directly onto a single CD as existing disk based games.
If you’re lucky you may have a CD quality speech and soundtrack, but the processor speed of
your computer dictates the rest, unless the images are transferred direct from the spinning disc.
CD-I — Compact Disc Interactive — is the latest, and much more promising, fixture for the CD medium. Whereas CD ROM requires a base machine such as a PC or a Macintosh, CD-] is a more consumer orientated medium. 5
Simply buy the CD-I package and bingo, you’re away. Supposedly setting new standards for ‘real- time interactive systems’, it’s a stand-alone multi- media system with real-time interactivity.
In English, that means it’s capable of fast full-

looks a winner for the future. All CD-| compatable CD’s are usable on this system. You can also use it as a standard audio CD player, with video footage of the band in certain circumstances. :
Commodore’s CDTV is another interesting package. Based on the incredibly popular Amiga architecture, it is bound to succeed with its full multi-tasking ability, and dedicated chips for sound, graphics and animation.
An all in one package, your only requirement is a monitor and, with the ever increasing range of compatible discs available, you'll be ready to go.
It is a brave launch, especially in Europe, where. the home entertainment market is a little on the staid side. People simply aren’t yet ready to have a CDTV unit on the same pedestal as video and hi-fi.
With the announced launch of a CD add-on to the Amiga, making it CDTV compatible, | can see it taking off to an unprecedented degree in the CD arena, making it one heck of a contender.
However, CDTV does seem to have a limited vision of the future, which appears to be orientated only to its own technologies.
standardised being
With more launched on the CD-I front, and on the existing CD- ROM standards, if it isn’t careful Commodore could be left out of the running.
systems
CD is, destined to be the mass media for the near future, and the leisure market looks to be one of the main benefactors of this upsurge, together with the fields of education and business.
It is therefore no surprise that those giants of the games industry, Nintendo and Sega, are getting in on the act. Sega are launching a CD system based on the incredibly popular Mega Drive.
Known as the Mega CD, it’s basis as a games- based CD. medium is there for all to see. Only just released in the states, it offers spectacular sound capabilities with state-of-the-art graphics.
Phillips are the lucky chaps behind the elusive ~
special CD device for Nintendo. The major drawback concerning this gaming medium is it’s basis and parent system, the Super Famicom.
Although available from selected retailers, the Famicom isn’t officially available in Britain. The question remains, will we see this remarkable Phillips/Nintendo collaboration come to fruition in the UK?
Unlike the Commodore, the Sega Mega CD and the Phillips licensed Nintendo CD player are aimed solely at the home leisure market.
Being able to play games with CD quality sound and graphics is a major boost, especially with their famed games such as Mario being specially prepared to exploit this technology.
Designed as a CD system for the games player, you can expect a high quality hardware base, with spectacular music, graphics and blitter chips to match or possibly even better the Amiga based technology of the CDTV.
However, the major pointer must be whether the massive ground base of Amiga owners will be swayed to move away from their beloved Commodore machines.
The future is as varied and as colourful as a CD’s reflections. Only time will tell the successor.
GLOSSARY
A Games-X in-depth look at what the
blazes everything really means in the blurb you'll come across.
CD - COMPACT DISC - A silvery platter, normally used for dire Dire Straits albums. They can contain a information, and can take lots of damage. Apparently, they can still play even when smeared with butter - although we don’t recommend it.
€D-G - CD GRAPHICS - An essential extra for your chosen player, so you can watch the band leap around while listening to your fave grooves.
CD-ROM -— CD-READ ONLY MEMORY - The computer version of a Walkman. Contains lots of information but can’t be written on like a floppy, unless you’ve got a marker
pen. Acts like a glorified Hard Disk with a |
silver suit, however you need a computer to exploit it.
CD — CD-INTERACTIVE - The stand-alone system doesn’t require a computer, since all the necessary hardware is inside. Unless you want a basic aesthetically pleasing box, you'll need some speakers and a decent television set. Graphics, sound, animation and video can all be relayed simultaneously in real time, or Snteractively’ as the blurb gees.
CADDIES - A strange phenomena with most
€D devices used outside the hi-fi field is the -
use of caddies. You can’t simply insert your disk into the machine, but need fo put them into a special box beforehand - designed for the maximum possible irritation.
APPLICATIONS — Frequently mentioned in CD blurb, basically these are atlases and encyclopedias, although you may find the occasional game listed there.
DIGITAL SOUND - Very high quality sound. Especially noticed when CD bores witter on about the quality of CD sonics.
DIGITIAL VIDEO - A few frames of slick animation of VHS quality, without the problem of a big biack tape and a sluggish fast forward.
REMOTE CONTROL - Sounds high tech and flasher than it actually is. In reality it’s a real pain trying to line up your control panel with the infrared receptor.
FULL RANGE OF PORTS - Check these, and ensure you have a space for your headphones. Believe it or not, some cD units still don’t include this fundamental item but include ‘essentials’ such as modem ports for home shopping.
And there are many more for you to take delight in discovering...
5TH-11TH DECEMBER 1991 GAMES-
lot of computer —
At the moment the market for CD games can only be described as a tad limited. Commodore’s CD-TV is fairly well supported in the UK and there are a fair few titles which have been converted to this format in order to keep people happy.
Games such as Lemmings from Psygnosis and Xenon Il from the Bitmaps have been ported directly across with the only signifiacant changes being in the sonics department.
The PC format CD games are also in a similar situation, whereby old games are simply shovelled en masse onto a whopping great memory capacity CD and sold all together. For example, it’s possible to buy the first six Ultima titles all on the same CD!
The graphics and sound are all exactly the same, they’re just bundled on a single high capacity disc. Thrilling or what? There are vast quantities of this ‘shovelware’ on the market and very few titles have any enhanced features.
They range from F-15 Strike Eagle II from Microprose to Life and Death from Mindscape, along with many others. However, they’re nothing new and exciting are they?
Other more recent PC titles are look slightly more interesting. For example Sierra On Line has CD compatibilty in some of it’s more recent VGA releases. Kings Quest V is one worthy of particular note because when the CD is being used all of the sound is dragged in from the disc.
All interaction with other characters is represented with speech rather than text, and when characters talk the sound from the CD is syne’d in with the animation of the faces. Flash or what, eh?
Likewise, Jones In The Fast Lane, Stellar 7 and Mixed Up Mother Goose also support CD-ROM in a similar way with some rather smart music and suitably atmospheric talky bits.
But what can we expect in the coming months? Well, it-would appear that all the major software houses are preparing themselves for a positive spurt of CD releases in the early months of 1992.
For starters, owners of the CD-TV unit can expect a menagerie of re-releases to take advantage of all those lovely jubbly features.
US Gold has handed over loads of titles to the big boys at Commodore and you can expect things like Monkey Island, Loom and Indy and the Last Crusade to be storming over to your screens sometime in January.

part from the imminent release of Xenon HI, the
Bitmaps have as yet no specific plans to produce any
more CDTV titles. However, should the opportunity arise the likelyhood is that it would be an original release as opposed to another re-release.
The CD version of Xenon Il has come along quite a way from the original release, with all of the significant changes being made in the sonics department. The release version will have the 3D sound system that was previewed on Tommorow’s World and this will include both 500k of sampled sound effects as well as 10 different Rythm King sound tracks.
Pieces of music have been contributed from Betty Boo, S- Express as well as Bomb The Bass who have been back into the studio to record six different remixes of the original Megablast track. To compliment this the game will also include proper speech in the shop section as well as a spoken word interactive manual.
The Bitmap’s see the biggest problem for CDTV producers being the cost of producing a suitable soundtrack. T hey see themselves as being lucky considering they have record company links, but other firms will have to license a soundtrack or pay an artist to go into the studio. This is very

Other titles in the pipeline are Falcon from Mirrorsoft which will include background radio chatter and snazzy music, as well as a totally redesigned version of the excellent MiG 29M Super Fulcrum from Domark.
On the PC side of things we can expect all sorts of lovely goodies. For starters the wondrous 20 meg classic Wing Commander II is set for release, and although basically serving as a hard disk space saver some of the new features look set to be even more stunning than the original floppy disk version.

Along with this you can expect a fairly snazzy wersion of Battle Chess to appear from Interplay through Electronic Arts. The CD version of this elassic will include over 2mb of animation code for each individual chess piece as well as digitized music and speech throughout the game.
However, the real biggie. that everyone is waiting for with bated breath is a mega project from Virgin games. Developed using multiple 486 PC’s working concurrently, the new title, known simply as Guest, is a 3D adventure in a haunted house.
All of the graphics have been developed using some rather flashy CAD packages to give a truly amazing ray-traced solid 3D environment. The game is currently pencilled in for a 1992 release.
On the console front it’s difficult to tell just how the UK market will react. Seeing as the Famicom, or Super NES, hasn’t even been officially launched in the UK yet, | can’t honestly expect the Philips/Nintendo CD collaboration to emerge for some considerable time.
However there can be absolutely no doubt that when the games do eventually emerge they will be of the very highest quality.
On the Sega front there is considerably more activity due to the fact that the unit has just had its US release. Games such as the amazing Hard Nova are already causing quite a stir, with its Final Fight size sprites coupled with Prince of Persia quality
animation and amazing music composed by some suitably famous Japanese rock group.
The only console CD standard which appears to be established anywhere in the world would appear to be the NEC unit for the PC Engine. In Japan it is certainly the most popular unit and there are many titles already available for it. :
Unfortunately, the problem is’ again that the basic PC Engine has yet to be officially released in the UK, so you'll have to contact people like Console Concepts or KC’s if you want to get hold of a unit or any of the flashy games that are available.
So does CD technology have a’ place in the games playing future? At the moment it’s difficult to see which of the formats will stand the test of time. Obviously the CD-ROM on the PC is currently the most popular but it’s doubtful whether this is going
_to last through the decade.
At present it is being used mainly as a hard disk space saving medium for titles which would normally be installed and take up loads of space as a result. For games like Kings Quest V or Wing Commander it’s great because you save multiple megabytes of disk space leaving you with loads of extra room.
On the other hand, CDTV looks potentially like a really great idea. Unfortunately, what we’ve seen so far isn’t all that impressive, although the new year looks set for lots of new titles such as Xenon Il and Trivial Pursuit to be introduced.
The big advantage of CDTV is that it’s basically a well established system that developers are already used to and shouldn't have too many problems converting — titles for. Unfortunately expense is a major factor, and the average kid in the street is going to have problems lashing out nearly £500 for a usable system.
This brings us to the more futuristic systems on offer from the console manufacturers and those pioneering the wonder format — CD-I.
Both Sega and Nintendo are hoping to enamour the world with their CD interactive multi-media systems and both seem to be scrabbling to get the most impressive system on to the market.
Nintendo are currently being very quiet as to the specifications of their Philips collaboration, but the Sega unit looks like it could be quite incredible! Being more than just a CD unit the added scaling, rotation and sprite manipulation capabilities mean that this is going to be a force to be reckoned with.
Of all the formats on offer, the one that seems to have the greatest potential is the CD-I. With its real time interactive CD access, this looks to be the most promising multimedia product. Similar in approach to the CDTV this is the best of the stand-alone units and just as soon as some of the software houses dabble in the pleasures of interactive CD I’m sure this will really take off.
The one they’re all waiting for. Guest utilises the latest CAD graphics and is currently being designed on linked 486 PCs. The result should be stunning!

First, destroy all of the snakes in the area and move directly upwards. Above A you will be a ledge upon which is (among other things) a silver star. Make a big ., _ cloud and get up here to get all the items. Now, move through the level raising hell _ until you create a gold star, then trap and collect the first transport helmet to the first secret room. In this room grab the laser helmet first, and then the fruit. :
Once returned to the game you should create a silver star immediately, ; followed by a gold ’un after you’ve disposed of a few meanies. You now have the second transport helmet. U Ae Now’s the hard bit. Don’t pick up the helmet, just nip around the level quickly bee

Assuming all went well you are now in a room with a sweet machine, a silver star and one triffid. Trap the triffid and pop the cloud while moving forward. DO | NOT collect the silver star - WAIT -— because the triffid will create a gold star.

A television that not only looks different, it also behaves differently, with high-tech features like on-screen display, remote control, sleep-timer and 40 pre-set channels.

Sam Confrey, West Sussex.
Dr X: As you like to insult my lack of hair, "ll insult you, you dirty, half-witted, no good snotbag. Ah, there's nothing like a good dose of insults to brighten up your day. On with the hint. When you are on the ship, you must do a number of thi such as sunbathe and go ne poal, dive down to the

THAT MAN BE DEAD!
Yo Doc, how’s it going? Guess what? I’m stuck on Cruise for a Corpse. I’ve reached the very end of the game and accused Father Fabiani of the murder but discovered that this is wrong. Who did do the dirty deed and how do | determine who it is for myself? Please help me as [ll be the first person | know to complete the game! (Apart from me, obviously! - X)
M Brown, Macclesfield.
Dr X: I'm sorry, | didn’t quite understand all the lingo at the beginning but on to you blem. Obviously | can’t tell you who the murderer is, that would ruin the game for the hoards of people sti
However, | can tell you how to work out who the killer is. The simple way to do this is to talk to every person using every line of dialogue available. There is a
lot of info to be gained here <
d determining the identity is then made really easy.

Pve just bought the excellent Robocod for my Amiga and am already stuck. I’ve got through the first two levels and reached the end-of- level nasty. Unfortunately this big teddy keeps landing on me and killing me. Please can you tell me how to kill it so that | can progress? If you do I’ll be your friend forever. Steven Dove, Middlesex.

IATING PROBLEMS
I know it’s old but I’ve recently just bought Captive from Mindscape. Now there’s nothing more annoying than buying a game and only progressing four paces, which is exactly what I’ve done.
1 am now confronted with a wall and have no way of getting past. Can you help me as | don’t want to have wasted my money?
P Jones, Watford.
Dr X: Don't worry young fellow, this isn't a problern with you, it just something that is not explained in the manual. What you have to do is, instead of clicking the left button on forward when stood in front of the wall try using the right mouse button. The wall will collapse revealing a passageway, thus allowing you to continue. The rest of the game will then take up weeks of your time
Most of the time, progressing through Captive is as easy as opening a door. Other times it is not so simple as discovered in the letter above...

BTH-11TH DECEMBER 1991 GAMES-
n adventure world which runs A independently of the player, advancing and developing in real-time, is a claim which has been made before — but on this occasion it’s for
real! The first project, Lure of the Temptress, is to be published by Mirrorsoft in early ’92.
Led by industry veteran, Charles Cecil, the
design team behind virtual theatre, Revolution Software, has made a man-size step in the evolution of fantasy role-playing. The result makes even the best and much loved adventures appear more than a little old-fashioned.
Revolution’s first project, Lure of the Temptress, is designed to introduce a truly revolutionary adventure RPG system. But not only is it the smartest RPG ever produced, the atmosphere is also magnificent!
The presentation is almost full-screen 3D with more depth and realism than recent isometric adventures. Technically, Revolution’s game design is a ‘smart’ program which ‘gets the hardware working, rather than having memory and processing power lying dormant.
As described, this genuinely is real-time, with events and time changing, and a whole civilization of characters existing, even though they may be elsewhere in the game. You can stand and watch the hustle and bustle of life or choose to interact.
NOSY PARKER
This normally unseen life can be experienced if your character leaves a room and looks through a keyhole or crack. You will see characters moving, interacting with each other and still existing even though you are elsewhere.
Even the slightest detail is relevant in real-time, such as a character leaving a door open at the other side of the game world — it will remain open, if untouched by other characters, until you get to it. It’s subtle stuff, since your actions affect rather than dictate events.
The game world has a reality about it with characters and events developing around you.
Individuals intelligently walk around objects Elare}
Acclaimed as a revolution in game design, aptly named Revolution Software's goal is to change the conventions of role-playing

reputed to be ‘virtual theatre’! Lured anda bit tempted, Jason Spiller reports.
each other in order to reach any Specified position, presenting a continuous flow and change of characters to confront and avoid. This process is due to a technique called “‘Autorouting’.
BOSSY BOOTS
The control interface which makes its debut in Lure of the Temptress is quick, easy-to-use and intuitive.
5TH-11TH DECEMBER 1991
One particularly inventive facility is the cull) to tell other characters to perform: any action.
_ This could be simply “Get Bottle” or a more : Specific and detailed instruction such as “Go to the guard room and get bottle, fill bottle from tap and then go fo the outer cell and give bottle to prisoner.” |
While the characters carry out such time- consuming tasks, you are able to get on with more
important actions. The ability to ‘talk to’ other characters is also fundamental to the game world.
This option throws up a range of questions, one of which must then be chosen depending on your situation and the identity of the ‘real’ character you are dealing with.
The choice of questions is of course most mportant to your progress and this has never been
but the game itself is far more inventive and ingenious than ever before.
Examples include identifying a locksmith and getting him to open a locked door, or observing patrols and learning the best time to gain entry to a building. However, it is the many and varied characters which makes this indeed ‘virtual theatre’.
Your character can be standing in a village square and be accosted by a character accusing you of being a thief, or a drunk spoiling for a fight, and using the highly developed parser, you’ve got to get yourself out of a potentially dangerous situation.
FUTURE PROJECTS
With the game system finely tuned, «=, Revolution is planning to develop a wide variety of ideas, from fantasy role- playing to cartoon-style games.
The realism that the system produces will breathe life into famous licence characters.
