gh time for a new one. The Dominator 500 is a luxurious ™m pleaser for the Sega systems, comfy ergonomic design, on triggers and there’s even a pid autofire facility.
The eight-way directional controls are far more responsive than any console control interface I’ve used and so at around 20 notes, it’s an affordable luxury. Available soon in the UK.
ABC'S BOXING
The biggest US TV company ABC, is endorsing what’s predicted to be the most realistic and explosive boxing simulation ever produced. ABC’s Wide World of Sports Action is a heck of a mouthful but the game, to be published by Data East in autumn ’92, is an absolute stunner.
lt combines coaching and managing aspects, as well as fight action. You build up your boxer, watch the constantly changing statistics of the world circuit and move into a title-grabbing position.
Once in the ring, the swift-moving digitized graphics produce realistic action. Available on Amiga and PC in the autumn.

f you thought the Texas Chainsaw Massacre was a mite tasteless then check out Splatterhouse 2 - it’s really horrid! Produced for Genesis, you put on the terror mask — and wade through a constant flow of zombies and ghouls. __ Armed with various weaponry your only chance of survival is to decapitate or disgorge the hideous fiends swiftly and unmercifully, or you face the prospect of suffering an even more hideous fate yourself. Spatterhouse
2 comes from veteran arcade purveyors, Namco.

Before you address the ball, you can check the wind direction, and even see an overhead picture of the shot.
Electronic Arts’ innovative design team has produced something it calls Ball Cam which gives you a worm’s eye view of the shot.
The use of Mode 7, the new graphical breakthrough, enables scaling and rotation which produces a realistic atmosphere. Additionally there’s fly-by aerial views, a zoom window for close- ups, instant replay and multiple camera angles.
EA is set to publish PGA Tour on the NES in March ’92.

interplay has scored a real first with this endorsement. While other software houses are calling upon the likes of pop and sports stars to put their name to computer games, Interplay has gone straight for the jugular by employing the talents of Omar Sharif.
It seems Omar could have signed his name to a number of different game styles. This vast list includes crooning, Backgammon and the like. The end result however, is a complex Bridge tutor.

pleasant afternoon for a jolly
good air show soon turns
into a major operation of national importance for the valiant Rocketeer. The day begins well as Cliff Secord enters the National air race and gets in some high placings in a couple of good heats.
However, later, when he’s in the hangar with his long-time buddy and mechanic Peevy, Nazis storm the building with the intention of relieving the Americans of their very latest technology — the one and only Cirrus X-3 rocket pack.
THE GAME OF THE FILM OF THE SERIES OF THE««
Despite considerable efforts on Cliff’s part, the Nazi forces -manage to kidnap both your girlfriend and Peevy, this obviously being their mardy response to Cliff snatching and donning the rocket powered flying machine.
Life now looks pretty grim. Cliff must rescue his pals, defeat his enemies and save the world...

Lo Se ae
The game is filled to overflowing with some wonderfully drawn cartoony-type sections. These screens pop up between-each major level and they tell (approximately) the story of the Rocketeer's plight against the Germans
The older readers among you will doubtless remember the old ‘cliff- hanger’ series that graced first the silver screen (many, many years ago) and later the small screen.
Much in the vain of the 15 minute black and white Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers episodes, Rocketeer was a true Buster Crabbe-style hero.
In this, the game of the more

recent Disney film, you must act out the scenario outlined above, by first winning the air race, then fighting off the Nazi marauders, then flying off on
your rocket pack and_ shooting people, before jumping into an experimental flying fortress _ and
shooting more people!
After this you must find the Nazi flying base and proceed to punch out the lights of all the German soldiers and finally rescue your comrades.
In terms of presentation the game appears to be a number of very obvious separate sections.
The air as you would expect, is just like a side-on view of a
race,
racing game as you control your plane whizzing around a circular course.
Next you have a_ sort of Operation Wolf-style shoot’em-up in the Bigelow hangar, followed by assorted © horizontally scrolling shoot/beat’em-ups.
Control of all the sections is very simple indeed, but as would seem to be the trend with the latest. Disney

Fortunately, there is a password system that allows you to skip to the separate ‘episodes’.

With the added special Disney Sound Source unit, the game incorporates digitized’ sound and music. that adds greatly to the overall atmosphere.

Graphically this looks |) really hot doesn’t it? The
quality of the VGA screens is unsurpassed and if you've got a 386 based PC you get some ultra-smooth scrolling and animation thrown in as well! What more could you ask for?
With any bolt-on sound board the musie and effects are superb, although this means lots of added moolah which could very well be beyond the financial reach of most people!
However, even with just the internal speaker it makes a_ fairly convincing attempt at some digitized speech and effects.
Despite the super-duper presentation though, I'm in two minds as to my opinion of the game itself. It really is very hard indeed and this is my main complaint.
The shoot’em-up sections are rather simplistic, despite a half-hearted attempt at adding some power-up pods and other bits, while the flying sections are just too difficult to be viable for someone who doesn’t have the patience of a randy panda.
However, it is a very compelling game which is surprisingly addictive. It’s certainly something which, in the short run at least, is really a rather compelling game.
Whether it was just being impressed by the graphics or something else I don’t know, but I just keep going back to it!

For those of you who have ever wanted to get behind the wheel of a throbbing race car, now's your chance with this rather spiffing game on the Mega Drive. Taking the view from directly above the car you race up the screen, turning corners when they appear before you. As in real life you must first take part in the practice session to determine your starting position in the race.
ON YOUR MARKS
These sessions include
three laps and all you , have to worry about is going as fast as possible to clock a decent time. When completed, the computer \ will work out the times of \% the other drivers in the race, all 25 of them!
You can select many options that will help beginners as well as giving more experienced players a challenge. Gears can be manual or automatic, the control sensitivity can be set, and your tyres chosen for better performance.
a PRICE: £39.99 ,

Even the weather is simulated; one minute you might be burning along in the bright sunshine and the next the heavens could open up and the track starts to get waterlogged.
At this point you have to decide whether to risk continuing with the tyres you are already using or go for a more sensible pit stop. Pit stops can be controlled by you or the computer but, believe me, the computer makes a much better job of it. How long you spend in the pits depends on how damaged the car is.
If you have been reckless then the chances are you'll lose a few positions.
Both graphically and sonically this is way above average; the track moves at a

the waeiowgea crowd leaps to its feet as your car powers aoa the straight
mind-blowing pace without the slightest sign of a flicker or jerk.
All the cars move smoothly around the place too and the whole appearance

You would think that any game lending its name to Japanese racing driver, ye | Sotoru Nakajima would put itself on an immediate low. Thankfully this game lifts itself up from
here quite competently. Basically it is another overhead driving game, which has had the misfortune to arrive in the office on the
same day as F1 Circus. This one does,
however, scroll in all directions A

sadly all the circuits are just v
and not just vertically.
As before, you are put up against loads of top class drivers on
challenging circuits in the world.
Firstly you have to qualify for the races but
as difficult as those they are
based on. Your gears are controlled automatically, although you can choose to operate them yourself.
Button A makes your car accelerate and B will apply the brakes, something which Nakajima never seemed to get the hang of!
There are eight circuits in all, ranging from the winding back streets of downtown Detroit to the lovely long straights of Monza.
You also have the weather to contend with, especially since the rain will affect the car's performance.
THE NEED FOR SPEED Judging by appearances you'd probably be led to believe that this game would be the better of the two due to larger graphics and scrolling in all directions. But size, as they say, isn’t everything.
The speed of the game is OK but what lets it down are the controls which seem to be very unresponsive, making staying on the track a
near impossibility.
Some people might prefer this because it is slower but
those who like _ their games of arcade quality should opt for F1 Circus, and that’s about all youcan say!

Without a shadow of a doubt, the Neo Geo is any game player's dream machine.
Its been dubbed the BMW drivers game machine, and with
just reason! The } machine itself does look rather
slick, unlike most consoles on the market today.
The awesome graphics and sound capabilities have to be seen and heard to be believed, but at a cost to burn even asbestos-lined pockets.
It's a simple matt black aesthetically pleasing box with one enormous slot for the cartridges and a tiny one for a memory card.
ENDLESS FUN
Unfortunately, you only get the one joystick with it, but what a whopper it is! It has the feel of arcade quality, heavy with an antislip broad base, and four solid action buttons.
The Neo Geo utilises the power of both 8-bit and 16-bit technologies in such a way as to create a machine with 24-bit power and speed.
The major league processors are the golden oldie Z80A chip and the powerful 68000. These are aided and abetted by custom-designed chips dealing with such essentials as the graphics and sonics.
These chips deal with the game data from the carts and only come to a measly 66K in total, but this shies away when you see the capacity of the games.
A cartridge could theoretically come with 330 megabytes of data, but more often the games available vary from 44 to 56 megabytes.
26 GAMES-X
Mind you, the carts are massive, with a comm link on top for multi-player modes. It’s hard to comprehend so much power in one game..
So, what exactly can this power do? Arcade quality sums it up perfectly. The graphic capability is amazing; choosing from a palette of 65,536 colours it can display up to 4,096 at any one time, double that of its nearest rival, the Super Famicom.
The Neo Geo has the power to control 380 different sprites of varying sizes, triple the number of the Super Famicom.
As you can imagine, the games available which take full advantage of this ability are stunning. People and general ghoulies look massive, are greatly detailed and smoothly animated;
: it’s visually the best.
Soundwise, the Neo Geo also dazzles, 15 channel _ stereo
sound with seven of these dedicated to real voice speech. The quality of music and voice-overs in the games available don’t have to be explained — just believe me.
Due to the size and power, SNK isn’t even

contemplating a CD addition, and why bother? It would only slow things down.
If you get an amazing high score in the comfort of your own home, you could use a memory card, save your position and nip down to the local arcade.
There, just find a multi-play
Neo Geo, insert your card and, bingo! You'll have flocks of admirers stunned at your gaming prowess, a nice addition for status seekers with the top status machine.
For those eager to get your mitts on it, you'll be pleased to hear that the official UK launch has happened. But when?
It went with a bit of a whimper, but at least you don’t have to risk the unofficial imported versions. After two years, fully working PAL versions are now available.
The manufacturer, SNK, isn’t competing at the same level as, say, Nintendo and Sega. Because it is aiming for a niche market of 25-35 year old affluent males who demand quality.
STING IN THE TAIL
But quality comes at a price. The basic console and joystick costs only £300, but the sting comes with the games themselves, a price range from £99-£149 each. This is only for the elite, well- heeled games players.
In summary, the Neo Geo is beyond compare, even the latest CD games don’t come close at the moment. It’s a machine to drool over and, although out of most people’s reach, it’s worth a try.
It's so stunning, you'll never look at your machine in the same light again. It may drive some people to play the pools, or at the extreme, dabble in petty theft simply to feed their habit.

You've got to shoot your way past numerous nasties of differing power, move up on different platforms (kindly indicated via an arrow).

However, I’ve already seen this game in certain arcades and it certainly draws a crowd.
Eight Man is appealing, but hardly justifies the price tag. It’s not quite the world’s best game, but the variety of areas and style of game within it more than make up for this deficiency. X

A LEPER, CUP IN HAND
I have a few questions for you.
1: In issue 10 of Games-X you sent David Cockram £100 of Amiga software. Did he pay for it?
2: If he didn’t could you send me a Mega Drive with £200 of software?
Jared Houghton, Rochdale.
Dr X; \'ve got to hand it to you, Jared, you certainly don’t sell yourself short. | would send the stuff to you, unfortunately you forgot the magic word, ‘please’ — so you for one won't get anything.

As for David Cockram, he whom.| had to tell to ‘go away’ recently, no he certainly didn’t receive £100 worth of software, and if you'd ever learnt to read Jared, you would have seen that in the caption. What are you? Illiterate or something?

HOW TO GET IN A69
Please, please can you help me on Leisure Suit Larry 3 on the PC. I have got the spa keycard and have found our locker (#69), but I don’t know the combination.
Please help because this is one of my favourite games. M Thomas, Newbury.

Here we see the Games-X man of leisure, Brian. Specially for you, he has abandoned his normal relaxed poise and has taken the guise of Larry, proudly showing how to get into #69, the locker that is
36 GAMES-X 6TH-1 2TH JANUARY 1992
help because you’re brilliant (grovel, grovel). PS. Your mag is brill. Mark Morriss, Crawley.
Dr X: You both seem to have missed the gist of the combination. Since when were locker combinations the same as the number of the locker, Mark? | hope you have the original game packaging, or else you're stuck, and | can’t and won't help you.
The list of different businesses on the back of the card is the key. Simply make a note of them all, and have a look through your game manual. The businesses are listed in here, so simply write down the page number for the different ads, put these together and you can get into the locker, no problem. If you haven't got the packaging, tough. Go buy the game.
Basically, | can get into the castle by showing the note, and get kicked out by the King. I also have given the melted ice (water! - X) to the Guru. That’s it. Help!
Duncan Leckey, Leeds.
Dr X: Pawn is truly a classic adventure game and, seeing as you're stuck so early in the game, I'll deign to help you. Show true human compassion and steal the bald chap’s dinner, then head to the forest. You should then find a bag of jewels — this only appears after you have given the Guru a drink, and not before.

Here’s a picture of the place you've got to visit to get the pouch of jewels. Don’t forget, you can't find them without first dealing with baldy
Easy really, it sounds like you're a true novice to adventures, but if you stick at it, it's well worth playing Pawn. As a waffley aside, our Ferg has his own currency here in Korovnia, with his picture and name on them. Fame at last, but that’s by the by.

In my spare time | like to play football, go swimming, anything really! The football team | support is Manchester United — the best!
! love to watch a lot of films and the latest one I've seen is Predator 2 which was pretty good; it’s just a shame that you didn’t see many predators in it! I'll listen to any type of music, ’'m not fussy!
lan Walker (11) y performance was terrible in Pacman, I'm gutted! | own a Sega Master System 2, and | might buy the game now ‘cause | think it’s quite good. When playing games | just hang around town looking at things and going to the pictures. I’ve ; just seen Blame it 5 @ on the Bellboy which was stupid and really boring too. Hammer is my favourite.
David Robb (11) st — | don’t know how | managed

Dave Mannering (Shop Manager) : he computer games software market, | think, is one of those that is setting the trend. Although our sales have been up
enormously this year there are problems which need ironing out,
one such being the availability of stock. The most popular machine at the moment is the Sega Mega

But whichever mission _ is selected you are treated to a cinematic pre-flight briefing which highlights objectives and also makes recommendations to consider.
The Mustang is best remembered for the speed in which it could become operational to prevent such imminent disasters as an incoming doodie-bug or V-1 Buzz Bomb.
H’s worryingly Spartan in the cockpit though, with an instrumentation layout that simply comprises of an altimeter, horizon, compass, air attitude, speedometer and two fuel gauges, with a choice of mouse, joystick and keyboard control.
Once in the air the Mustang handles very nicely, thanks to the scroll engine and some thoroughly realistic detail, best appreciated in low flight missions.
Weaponry is good to use and with a Soundcard in the PC you can almost feel the controls shake as the 20mm cannon spits venom and fire.
In the heat of the action it's hard to take in the whole spectacle, but at the touch of a button a handy replay film will show the action.
All in all the technology perfected in Chuck Yeager makes 357th a truly realistic simulation.
Additionally, reproduction of the era, plus the exciting and heroic missions are enhanced by some beautiful incidental screens which really set the scene. :

owadays the toys of war NX are highly sophisticated,
computer-aided, killing machines. However, besides being deadly, they also cost a small fortune.
During the years between 2015 and 2030 the Military SimTech Command grew from a small, top secret, research department into the army’s largest wing.
Its team of employees grew to over 50,000 prospective technicians and Defence Complex commanders.
You enter as one of the elite troops that has been enroled at the Military SimTech Command, a high security nerve centre where gifted warriors may practise. the brutal art of war without the cost and destruction it usually involves.
With the aid of state-of-the- art computers, SimTech Command can emulate lifelike battle conditions in a simulated pixel world.

(Right) Glancing out of the cockpit you can see that the immediate vicinity is clear of
all enemy activity. Maybe you
should look elsewhere
and economic climate have now changed the way that nations decide to settle their disputes. No longer are countless lives fost uneccessarily, for now disagreements are settled via the use of simulated warfare.
A GREEN OUTLOOK
As one of the new recruits you must first prove your skills by successfully completing a series of training missions.
These range from simple objectives, such as destroying a single enemy unit, to more complex and challenging goals, maybe defending your own base while launching an all-out attack on an enemy installation.
This new style of global warfare requires less brute force and more strategic — thinking. Trainees are taken on at the rate of one thousand a year and the Military SimTech Command only passes 100 recruits.
This top 10 per cent continue to undergo further training and may be called upon at any given moment to take up arms against a rival nation.
The world has become a hostile arena in which man vents his anger on fellow man. Long forgotten are the archaic instruments of wars
children shuffle idly by.
The question remains though, have you really got what it takes to be a mighty Military SimTech commander?

Uncle X's phone makes a kind of beeping noise, i mz so write to: X-IT, Games-X, Europa House, Adlington Park, Macclesfield, Cheshire SK10 4NP.
Sonic, it must be the best Sega platform product ever. | think Sonic is so good because of its brilliant presentation and excellent graphics.
| have just three questions for you. 1, When will Pitfighter be coming out on the Master System? 2. Will there be a Quickjoy foot pedal coming out on the Sega? 8. When will the Game Genie be coming out for the Sega? Funky, Thirsk, North Yorkshire.
Great taste in games, shame about your nickname.
1. It looks likely to be mid 92.
2. As of yet there are no definite plans, it all depends on the manufacturers.
| am 11 years old and | have tried to join Club Nintendo, but | don’t know how to. It sounds ace so | was wondering if you could help me. So could you tell me how to join? If you have to fill in a form or something like that could you send it to me please? | own a Spectrum and could | have all of the team's autographs?
Kevin Bowen, Arbroath, Scotland.
You’ve got me puzzled here Kev. Well, Club Nintendo is for Game Boy and NES owners. And as far as | know there are no plans for a Spectrum page in the mag! So, why on earth do you want to join, apart from the hours of drooling involved? ri If you're still interested, there’s an application form included with all Nintendo hardware and software.
After reading the exciting news in issue 34 about the Super NES reaching our shores by spring | suddenly became very
interested in the machine. So could you please answer my questions? 1. Can you play NES games on it? 2. Hf you ean’t is there an adapter and how much does it cost? 3. Will Mario 5 be coming out on the. Super NES CD Rom? 4. Do you know what month the Super NES will be out? 5. Will the English Super NES play American Super NES games, or will you need an adapter? 6. Will things like the Power Glove work on the Super NES?
Thanks for answering my questions and keep up the good work. Joel, London.
The software for the NES isn't compatible with the SNES, and there isn’t an adapter either. As for its arrival, well the latest rumour to reach the office is that it will be here sometime towards the end of April. -
You will be able to play American carts on the Super NES but an adapter will be needed to run Japanese games. As for the Power Glove, well I’m afraid that it won’t work either.
For Christmas Father Christmas bought me an Amiga 500+. After playing Hard Drivin’ at my local arcade | thought | would buy this game for my Amiga. | heard that Hard Drivin’ was rubbish and Hard Drivin’ 2 would not work on the Plus.
So, when will Race Drivin’ be released and will it work on the Plus? Phil Davis, Wirral.
Race Drivin’ should hopefully be released sometime in the next few months and almost definitely will be compatible.
| would like to ask you a few questions (Take it away Rob — Unc).
1. | got an Atari Lynx for my birthday and I'd like to know which are the best five games. | like any sort of game.
2. Why don't you review any Archimedes/A3000 games because Krissalis has quite recently bought out some brilliant games like Lemmings, Man Utd Europe, James Pond etc? There are also companies like the 4th Dimension wha have bought out games like Saloon Cars, Enter the Realm etc, the sound and graphics of which are excellent. 3. ve heard a rumour that there is a magazine just for the Lynx, called something like Lynx User. Is it true? If so where can | get it from? | would be
grateful if questions. PS The Archimedes is as powerful as the Amiga, ST and Mega Drive, if not more powerful.
PPS Please can | have a T-shirt (size small)?
Robert Tran, Beechwood, Runcorn.
you could answer my
1. Warbirds
Awesome Golf
Ninja Gaiden
Viking Child
Chip’s Challenge
2. | agree totally with you regarding the Archimedes. However, when reviewing a game GX looks at the format which is to be released first, a mini review is then included of all the other formats which are also planned.
On the whole at the time of review no plans were in the pipeline for an Archie version, even if one does appear eventually. We do however, try to include any info we can in the news each week. It’s all to do with catering for the masses. 3. It’s the first I've heard of this mag, and
it seems pretty unlikely, there just isn’t |
enough Lynx software being released to enable a monthly mag to be produced. Watch out in Console Connexions though, there are an increasing number of carts becoming available and
therefore more reviews for your machine.
| have written this letter to prove a point to some of my so-called friends, so please, please print it.
1. Has the Mega Drive got an extension port for a Modem?
2. Which machine has better graphics, the Amiga or the Mega Drive?
3. Is it possible that in the coming year the price of Sega games will be reduced?
PS | think Games-X is possibly the best mag out.
A person in 8GX, Somewhere.
1.Yes, but it’s not yet available in this country, nor have any Japanese imports been sighted by any of the GX team.
2. This all really depends on the type of
game you're playing. For example, John Madden looks far better on the Mega

Drive because of the smoother graphics and brighter colours, whereas a game such as Toki can’t be bettered on the Amiga. Generally speaking though, there isn’t much difference. | 3. Unfortunately a drastic price reduction doesn't seem to be in the offing, more so since the games are so expensive to produce. The advent of the Super NES could make a slight difference, but don’t hold your breath!
Driving game fever has hit the | office this week, with two on the Mega Drive and one on the Neo Geo. However, Hugh is a big fan of the, as he puts it, “drivey, drivey” games and once he discovered these gems no one else got a look-in.
Fungus is at his wit’s end due to the troublesome phone antics of Simon, one of our multitude of ex-production assistants. Dear old Fung is | now learning to let the phone ring twice before picking it up!
Poor old Alex has been suffering fer the last few days with the flu. We are pleased to announce that he is now recovering to his normal, less grumpy self.
