VIRTUALITY 20
The world's most advanced computer gaming system recently made its first appear-
ance to the public and press. Virtual Reality adds a much-needed new dimension to
the leisure entertainment industry and we have the low-down on the complete system.
Don't miss out on reading about the magnificent future that it offers both you and us.
ST Action reveals all!

ACTION NEWS 04
This month's news is rather special. We have extensive four page coverage of one of
the largest computer shows of the year. ECTS '91 brought to the forefront a number of
notable products from the leading software houses. We keep you up-to-date on exact-
ly who is doing what.
ARE YOU SEEING DOUBLE? 19
You should be! Two stunning coverdisks are on the front of this issue of ST
Action. Armour-Geddon from Psygnosis is such a highly playable demo
that we had to use a whole disk just to cram it on! The other disk fea-
tures Supercars II from Gremlin and a fantastic level of platform capers
in Chuck Rock from Core Design.
LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE 48
Don't feel depressed because you can't get any further in a particular game. We at ST
Action like to provide a little happiness to our readersand our GTGA features do just
that. This month, we help you out with Elvira, Wrath’ of the Demon, Codename Iceman
and many more. So when you have a problem, you know where to come to find the all-
important answers.

Palace Software had some _ great
releases last month and they're no
doubt hoping to continue that stan-
dard with Sliders. The game is a
competitive ball racing strategic
challenge for up to two players, fea-
turing 3D isometric scrolling.
The player must chase a puck
over 12 different fields, featuring
one-way anti-gravity lanes, humps,
valleys, ice and brake-zones. Sliders can be controlled by either keyboard or
joystick and the strength of fire, thrust and so-on can be finely tuned to your
hearts content. The STE is also fully catered for with full hardware scrolling.
Expect to see Sliders out around the end of July. We don't know the price
just yet but expect to pay the usual.
If it comes to that time of the month when you simply
can’t wait for our Dotty to solve your problems, then a
chap called Bruce Everiss may be able to come to your
rescue. Bruce already runs four callstream telephone ser-
vices (0898 numbers to you and me) but he’s decided to
branch out with four more lines including one for ST
games tips.
The line, which is updated weekly, lasts for three min-
utes and is produced by one Richard Monteiro who's writ-
ten for various mags in his illustrious journalistic career.
You can dial ST Gamestips on 0898 299386. Calls
cost lots of money off-peak and lots more money during
peak times (before 6pm), so if you’re under 18 make sure
you get your parents’ permission or you may find your ST
has been pawned to pay the phone bill!

As computers and their storage devices get increasingly
smaller, one of the largest space consuming items has
got to be your printer and its yards of paper.
Contriver have now come up with the Printer Pak
which allows you to store the paper actually under the
printer. Available in France for some time, the Pak has
already been very successful and this has prompted a
UK launch.
It consists of a stand, which leaves plenty of room for
a cable, and over 100 yards of computer paper. Without
the stand, that amount of paper would look awkward and
untidy whereas with the stand, it is
easy to handle and convenient.
Here we have the Contriver
Printer Pak being modelled by this
delightful young lady in the strange
blouse, SO you can see exactly what
goes where.
It seems like a pretty convenient
peripheral if space is scarce or
you're just being hassled by your
mother because your room looks
untidy!
The Printer Pak retails at £19.99
and Contriver can be contacted on
0280 822803 if you're interested. A
seperate printer stand is also avail-
able at a cost of £14.99 so the deci-
sion is yours.
Set in the early 1800s when rail-
roads were bringing a new age of
technology and power, Microprose’s
Railroad Tycoon is about to make
the journey from the PC to the ST.
The idea behind the game is to
create your own railroad empire,
through humble beginnings to the
present day. You must decide where
tracks should go and plan the
placement of your terminals and
switches so that you can connect
towns, cities and harbours, deal with
equipment failures and natural
catastrophes.
You'll have to gradually alter
your rail network to cater for new
markets opening up and to supply
population shifts and industries. The
process of decision making never
stops.
Railroad Tycoon will appear on
the ST in May/June of this year and
will cost £29.99.

European Computer
Mid-April saw the ST Action team venture down to the ECTS show in London. Alan went
one way while Jason and Paul went another. When they returned to their Cheshire office,
the team collated together all the vital information they had gathered. Now Alan takes
you on the same journey to London, only a few weeks later. Join him now if you want to
know what’s what in the world of computer entertainment.
The 1991 European Computer Trade
Show has ended, and although it
wasn't as rewarding as expected, |
have a lot of news and general gos-
sip to tell you about.
Everybody who is anybody was
there, of course. US Gold, Virgin,
Ocean, Psygnosis (who apparently
shook off the competition with ease
at the awards ceremony) and
numerous other companies from all
corners of the globe had stands or
suites for people to browse around.
Obviously, | haven't got the
space in the magazine to mention
absolutely everything but | hope to
inform you of ALMOST everything
you need to know.
There was a lot of interest directed
toward European companies, espe-
cially those from France, who seem
to be establishing themselves quite
strongly on the British home comput-

Activision look to be very active at

coming releases that seem set to be
huge successes. | don’t know where
to start, really! The intergalactic
shoot’em-up, R-Type 2, is one to
keep a careful eye out for with
enough firepower to put the Gulf
coalition forces to shame. The
release date is July and it will sell for
£24.95.
Also soon to come from Activi-
sion are puzzle game Shanghai Il,
and behind the lines infiltration in
what is described as: “...a 16-colour
solid 3-D game set in fractal gener-
ated landscape from a second per-

Tennis 2. In development is Unreal
but, as yet, | don’t really know that
much about it. Take a look at the
screenshots for now and I'll update
you more in the near future.
Loriciel have a lot of plans, too. With
reviews in this issue of ST Action,
they intend to follow them up with
even better products. Superskweek
looks to be a fun two player game
that involves colouring a number of
tiles while negotiating traps and
monsters of various descriptions.
The use of certain weaponry is also
permitted, just to even things out a
little!
Guardians has an_ extremely
interesting theme nestling beneath
the challenging gameplay. The
action takes place in a 3-D room
where the object is to prevent a
number of Triffids from escaping by
constructing a wall to imprison them
inside the area. Various bonuses are
available to add that touch of extra
enjoyment. Available soon as will be
puzzle games Time Race and Booly!
Sort of French now they are with
Leisure Holdings, Palace Software
have two new titles previously
unmentioned in ST Action. SWAP is
a “...brain-teasing new puzzle game
that is at once extremely simple yet
horribly addictive...clear a board of
coloured tiles by swapping pairs
around to create a cluster of the
same coloured tiles, which then van-
ish.” Three different shaped tiles
complicate matters considerably
and the time limit is not be laughed
at! :
| actually saw more of Sliders
which was explained to me as being
a ‘Marble Madness’ clone. To be
honest, | was quite impressed with
the remarkably smooth graphics and
appealing gameplay. The idea is to
score points by directing an electro-
puck into a set of goals. The more
points you get, the more likely you
are to win.
Trade Show 1991:
Two new titles coming up from Elec-
tronic Arts are Birds of Prey and
Zone Warrior. | took a good peek at
the flight sim Birds of Prey and
looks absolutely stunning! When
developing the game, the main pri-
ority was to achieve the feeling of
realism and not necessarily detract
from that with fast arcade action
although, obviously, piloting a selec-
tion of fighter and bomber aircraft
does ask that you shoot down the
odd enemy aircraft or two! The
option to command ground forces is
also incorporated into the game.
Unfortunately, ST owners will have to
wait a few months before it makes
an appearance.
Zone Warrior, on the other hand,
is similar to Turrican. It is a multi-
directional platform shoot’'em-up. To
put the plot of the game in simple
terms, you have to travel through
various time zones, eliminate the
bad guys, and make the whole
world a much better place to live in.
Sounds good!
Gremlin are keeping themselves
busy with a host of titles containing
various gaming styles. Some hot
news from Gremlin is the beginning
of work on Lotus Esprit Turbo
Challenge Il. The original earned
90% in ST Action. Can the sequel be
much of an improvement? Well, we'll
all have to wait and see!
Gremlin’s Utopia is an enhanced
version of Sim City where the action
takes place on another planet. Pega-
Sus iS a satanic blast featuring six
levels of mayhem and the ability to
increase your firepower consider-
ably, while HeroQuest, which you'll
all have already heard about by now,
is a conversion of the best selling
fantasy role playing board game,
and is due for release very soon.
Also, don’t miss out on Switch-
blade 2. The final version will contain
six levels consisting of over 100

aaenyt,
screens per level. Weaponry is
aplenty with spin blades, machine-
guns, firebombs, gas grenades,
lasers, homing missiles and splash
blades at your disposal in this game
of ultimate destruction. Due for
release around now at £24.99, it
could be well worth spending your
cash on.
Deserving a quick mention are
Gremlin’s and EA’s budget labels. On
Gremlin’s GBH label come Super-
cars, Footballer of the Year II, Impos-
samole, Venus, Ultimate Golf and
Combo Racer. Each title will cost you
a mere £9.99 at the most.
Star Performers, EA’s equivalent
to Gremlin’s GBH, presents Flood,
Projectyle and Starflight for £10.99
each.

Microprose’s sister company, Micro

at a true flight simulation in Air Duel.
ST Action were assured that the end
result after months of hard work
would be fantastic, allowing players
to pilot aircraft from as far back as
World War | to modern day combat
planes. Air Duel will be able to cope
with two players, either taking part

Karate fame. The usual features are
included such as viewing the table

along with swerve and spin. It

time as Realms.

The ST budget market is really blossoming at the
moment, with a lot of old classic games finding their way
back onto the market at a cheaper price.
Mirrorsoft’s budget division — Mirror Image — have
recently announced a couple of old titles the first of which
is the classic Carrier Command. It features a combination
of arcade and strategy coupled with amazing 3D filled
vector graphics that are still among the best ever.
Carrier Command was a landmark in software at the
time, and so is probably worth a place in anybody's col-
lection for that reason alone. It’s available now and will
cost you £9.99.
AWALRIIS mA’
Puzzle games are the flavour of the month at the
moment as software houses strive to publish
simple but addictive games. As well as Sliders,
Palace also have Swap in the pipeline.
In it you have to clear a board of coloured
tiles by swapping pairs around to create a line
of the same colour which will then vanish.
You've got the opportunity to play in compe-
tition mode or even against the clock. You can also change the size and
shape of your tiles (the smaller ones are harder to get rid of).
Swap has all the hallmarks of being a compulsive puzzle game that
requires thought, planning and concentration. It'll be out at the end of June
although the price has yet to be announced.
Compilations are still pretty popular and the Monster Pack Volume One
should prove no exception as Psygnosis have put together three pretty recent
games in the one distinctive box.
The best of the bunch is undoubtably Nitro which went down a treat in
the offices. For simultaneous three player racing action you can't get much
better than this.
The second of the three games is Shadow of the Beast. Graphically and
sonically stunning, Beast never quite fulfilled its potential as being one of the
best games ever. The playability was slightly suspect, but it's definitely worth
a look.
The final offering is Infestation. The game received rave reviews from the
computer press and features excellent graphics and rates highly as an
arcade adventure.
You should be able to find the Monster Pack at your shop now although
there are no details of the price just yet.

INEVITABLY, SOME GAMES SHOWN MAY NOT YET BE RELEASED.
The greatest
action simulation |
on the ST and we &
have it on this
month's
Probably the world's
most pla
yal
Two magnificent coverdisks on this month's ST Action and,
on both, the best demos you will probably ever find. We
have games from Liverpool based Psygnosis, Sheffield
based Gremlin Graphics and Derby based Core Design.
ARMOUR-GEDDON
Psygnosis believe in doing things with style.
The quality of this month’s Armour-Geddon
coverdisk demo proves this beyond doubt.
Fly not only a fighter plane and bomber on
a dangerous mission, but also take control of a
deadly variety of armour. Equip each craft with
an arsenal of firepower and you'll be ready to
blow your enemies back to where they come
from!
Armour-Geddon will hopefully be reviewed
in next month’s issue. We’re absolutely sure it
will appeal to most games fans with its exciting
combination of gaming elements that demand
strategic thought and quick reflexes from all
players.
CHUCK ROCK
Comical capers as you take control of the
cutest caveman ever to appear on the ST. Core
Design's latest product is here for you to play
with a level exclusive to ST Action.
Originality, Numour, exciting action and
great playability are all here for you to enjoy.
You must progress to the end of the level without
losing all your valuable lives. Watch your blood
level for if you lose too much, a precious life is lost.
Fortunately, collecting hearts that can be occasion-
ally found around the level will improve your vitality
no end.
Chuck Rock is highly enjoyable platform fun
and shouldn't be missed. All you have to do now is
load the demo.
SUPERCARS Il
The sequel to the excellent Supercars and quickly
following Gremlin’s other racing masterpieces such
as Lotus and Toyota Rally, Supercars II has now
emerged from deep within their Sheffield lair.
Rather than from a behind the car perspective,
Supercars Il is viewed from directly above. This
allows you to see oncoming corners a little sooner
than usual but don’t think this detracts from the dif-
ficulties of being a racing driver, for every twist and
turn is a problem.
The demo and review are exclusive to ST
Action so you made a wise choice when buying the
magazine! Hesitate no longer and boot-up the
demo for the ride of a lifetime!
overdisk
SINGLE-SIDED OWNERS...
Format a blank disk and label it. Insert the origi-
nal coverdisk into the drive and select all the
icons except the folder labelled SIDE2. Drag the
icons onto the DISK B icon and follow the on-
screen prompts, inserting your newly formatted
disk when the computer asks for disk B. When
the copy process has finished you will have
backed up side one of the coverdisk.
FOR DOUBLE-SIDED OWNERS...
Double-sided disk drive owners will be able to
open up the SIDE2 folder and copy these files
onto their back-up disk. Unfortunately, single-
sided owners will not be able to access side 2.
Keep your original coverdisk in a safe place and
use a backup at all times.
COVERDISK FAULTY?
We can’t guarantee that all of our coverdisks are
100% fault free. However, the odds of you actu-
ally having a faulty disk are pretty slim. If you
think your disk has genuine problem then please
return it to:
Stanley Precision Data Systems,
Unit F Cavendish Courtyard, Sallow Road,
Welden North Industrial Estate, Corby,
Northants. NN17 1JX.
Last month, we reported three imminent major
releases from software house Psygnosis. Else-
where in this issue, you will be able to read the
review of one of those (The. Killing Game Show)
and here we present a marvellous fully playable
demo of another, Armour-Geddon. Unfortunately,
we have no further news on Awesome.
The Armour-Geddon demo is probably the
best demo ST Action has been able to give you.
The flavour of the game has been strongly cap-
tured, for you are allowed to attempt almost every-
thing that will be available when the full game is
available in the shops. ;

HOW TO PLAY THE DEMO
Insert the disk into the drive and the demo should automatically load. After
a fantastic intro sequence, you will be presented with a menu screen. Click
on ‘Single Player’.
Use the arrows in the bottom right corner to switch between craft. When
you want to select one, drag it across to the window at the bottom left using
the mouse. The same applies to the weapons that follow. To select more
than one craft, click on another selection icon (NA) in the top left quarter of
the screen. You are allowed to pilot six in total. When ready, click on Pilot
Vehicle. To switch between mouse and joystick, key 'M' or ‘J'.
Not only can you take control over any and all of
the vehicles simultaneously, but the ability to con-

Many thanks to Psygnosis for the wonderful
demo and we hope to do business with you again!
_ What is about to follow is inevitable: Gremlin have
yet again produced another racing game which
possesses the same high standard of quality as all
their others. Gremlin are certainly riding high at the
moment and driving for more Suc-
cess.
The team responsible for pro-
gramming the Supercars 2 demo
and, of course, the final version of the
game, is Magnetic Fields. For those

| Essentially, Supercars 2 is an enhanced Super
Sprint/Badlands. With it being the latest in the line,
Supercars Il is the more playable product as Grem-
lin have been able to learn from past titles and
knew where improvements could be made. The
end result is a highly playable demo and game that
should have most of you stuck to your seats for
many an hour. a
What does the final game
offer? Apart from a simultaneous
two player, split screen option,
there are three levels of play with
seven tracks to each level. Alto-
gether, there are 10 cars in com-
petition with you as you tear over
bridges and dart around banked

Many more features are also incorporated onto
the various circuits. The coverdisk demo Is restrict-
ed to having sharp curves and an open bridge to
jump. For more details concerning the final game,
check out the review elsewhere in this issue.

HOW TO PLAY THE DEMO
Insert coverdisk 19 and double-click
on the CARS.PRG file. From here, the
game will automatically load. Once
the screen full of text appears, follow
the instructions.
Controls during the actual game
are very simple and shouldn’t take
long to get accustomed to. The fire
button on your joystick acts as the
accelerator while left and right steers
your supercar. Pushing up on the joy-
stick fires one of your homing missiles
and pulling back releases rearward
shooting rockets. Don’t waste your
ammunition as it is strictly limited.

exact flight equations that allow you to fly this powerful fighter just like its pilots.

Open the SIDE2 folder. Double-click on
the file called CHUCK.PRG and the
demo will now load. The game is joy-
stick controlled with the usual up,
down, left and right moves. Combining
the fire button with the following
movements of the joystick causes spe-
cific actions: Right and fire is a belly-
butt, up and fire is a flying kick, down
and fire picks up boulders which you
can carry until you decide to drop
them.
Make your way to the right and if
you prove to be a capable caveman,
you should finish the excellent demo.
THE SCORE PANEL EXPLAINED
The Punter-Power™ Pie
Chart itself. The pie is
divided in to five colour
coded sections. By look-
ing at how large each pie
section is you can tell
what proportion of our
panelists had what opin-
ion of the game.
Not much explanation
needed here. Name of the ss
game under scrutiny and
the all important price tag
in pounds and pence
including VAT.
Gameplay is above sound
and graphics for a reason
— we know it's more
important! Gameplay is
the factor behind whether
your £20+ investment will
stand the test of time.
Ratings from 1 (Noughts
and Crosses ZX81 style) to
10 (More fun than a night
with Kim Bassinger!). The
example here shows a
score of 7 which is good.
Pretty simple really — it's
the good old bar chart.
How good the sound and
graphics are — from 0
(none at all) up to 10
(state-of-the-art). The
example shows 3 for
sound and 8 for graphics.
~) Great (15%)
B Good (35%)
B So-so (25%)
B Poor (10%)
B Dire (15%)
The key on the left of the
pie chart details what
level of appeal each sec-
tor colour represents.
These appeal levels corre-
spond to what each
Punter-Panelist thought of
the game in question from
'Great' right down to
‘Dire’. The key also gives
the exact percentage of
panelists voting for each
level of appeal. In this
example, 15% of panelists
thought the game was
‘Great’, 35% thought it
was 'Good' and so on.
The comment text sum-
marises what the reviewers
and panelists thought of
the game. This text has
been designed to high-
light reasons why games
were marked up or down.
If you're after a snappy answer to ‘is this game worth buying?', then
check out the overall rating. Pie chart data is only one of the factors
used in the overall rating. Scores of 75% + are excellent games that will
not disappoint. From 50-75% are games that are good solid products
but maybe lack that state-of-the-art graphic sparkle or ‘just-one-more-
go' gameplay. Below 50% its all downhill and we really would advise
you to try before you buy. Remember the overall score is only one indi-
cator — read the review as a whole to get the complete picture.
ST Action is keen to acknowledge the fact that you,
the consumers, are the most important judges of
whether software is good, bad, indifferent or down-
right dreadful.
We have therefore developed the ultimate in
games rating systems, a system like no other
before! No longer do you have to place your trust
into the hands of a reviewer. All ST Action’s scores
are now decided by the people for the people (with
a little helo from our team).
Punter-panelist open sessions
STA holds regular open sessions, during which ST
owners are invited to play the very latest games for
their machine. During the gamesplaying sessions,
ST Action reviewers are on hand to offer helo and
advice to anyone experiencing difficulties with a
game, thus making sure everyone sees every pos-
sible assect of the games under scrutiny.
Having played a game and seen all it has to
offer, panelists are asked to fill in a detailed ques-
tionnaire detailing their thoughts about the game.
When writing up reviews our team uses these
questionnaires as a primary source of information.
So into each review goes countless hours of
playtesting from not only our team but also a verita-
ble army of punter panelists. The best of both
worlds — a team of talented and experienced
reviewers and an army of enthusiastic consumers
who know what It's like to soend £20 or more on a
piece of computer entertainment software.
The Punter-Power™ score panel
The ST Action Punter-Power™ score panel was
created to best display the findings of the punters.
By simply taking a quick glance at the panel, you'll
be able to determine just how good a game Is.
Of course there’s an overall rating, but we've
also managed to include a summarising comment;
gameplay, sound and graphics indicators; and
details of the game's official title and price. Finally,
you'll also notice the Punter-Power™ Pie Chart.
And there's more...
In addition to our revolutionary new scoring system
we've also improved the presentation of the
reviews. Using the most up-to-date technology, we
can now offer you even more in the way of state-of-
the-art layouts.
We've invested huge amounts of time and
money to bring you the best quality screenshots
you're ever likely to see. With this new technology
you Can now see even more aspects of the games
in the form of our perfectly joined Digi-Scape™
sequences showing how the detailed mechanics of
games work.
There's also the feature we've christened Roll
Call™ — enlarged, colourful pictures of the major
characters in the game, taken straight from the
screen. A lot of time and effort goes into producing
these to add to your enjoyment of the review.
Labelled screen pictures are also used to point
out important sprites, icons and other graphic
detail. Combine these with the informative captions
and body text and you've got the best guide to
buying entertainment software possible.
Calling all potential panelists
If you live in the Manchester area and would like to
be a Punter-Panelist why not drop us a line. We're

consoles. A growing number of children
have either a computer or console at
home and while prices decrease and
sophistication increases dramatically,
the problem is getting worse not better.
A_ little known Leicester-based
company called W Industries are trying
to change that with the introduction of
the first Virtual Reality entertainment
system. They started their campaign with
a world launch in London and _ this
incredible event was graced by our very
own Jason Dutton and Paul McNally.
Enter the world of Virtuality.
The VTOL - Flight Simulator. You must take control of a Harrier jump-jet in the midst of combat over heated territory.
The experience
of a lifetime
irtuality offers the average
gameplayer a completely new
experience in electronic enter-
tainment: Complete stereo-
scopic vision, full Quadraphonic
sound, CD quality music and the
incredible feeling of actually being
inside the game itself.
At present, the arcade scene is
in a period of stationary creativity.
Old games have been redone and
the new releases are pretty shallow
in storyline and playability. This is
one of the main reasons why more
people are finding their entertain-
i
ment at home rather than at the
arcades.
Dr Jon Waldern, Managing
Director of W Industries has put a lot
of thought and effort into creating
games (or 'Experiences’) to cater for
the novice or hardened gamesplay-
er. This has been achieved by creat-
ing several skill levels within each
scenario, starting off with the easy
beginners’ level. This means that you
don't have to be a wizard to enjoy
the vast pleasures that Virtuality has
to offer.
The Virtuality 1000 SD is a quali-
ty sit down console which enables
the operator to drive or pilot his way
around a virtual world. The console
is simple in structural design — a seat
and two hand-held joysticks are all
that is outwardly visible but once you
take control, you realise the intricacy
of the machine.
Another item of necessity is the
Visette. A space-like helmet in
design, it is the main interface
between the operator and the virtual
world. The view from inside the hel-
met comprises two goggles, similar
to looking through a pair of binocu-
lars, and this is your artificial eye-
sight in your chosen scenario.
The Visette is also your left, right
and rear—-view mirror. If you need to
know who, or what, is behind you,
you must actually turn your head
around and take a look. This increas-
es the feeling of ‘being there’ and
makes life a lot more difficult in the
midst of heated combat.
The two consoles available for
our inspection were the VITOL-—Flight
Simulator and the Battlesphere. In
VTOL, you must take control of a
Harrier jump-jet in a theatre of con-
flict. With precision flying and expert
firing, you must evade the oncoming
enemy missiles and let loose with a
volley of advanced weaponry to
defeat the increasing enemy aircraft.
The difficult setting decides on
the number of planes for each wave.
After you complete a wave, you
must refuel. To refuel, you must
either land your plane on a cruising
battleship or try to control your plane
in crazy mid-air attempt.
The Battlesohere sees you tak-
ing control of the bridge of an
advanced starship. You must patrol
the galaxies and protect them from
the hordes of enemy aliens, hell
bent on destruction.
Dr Jon Waldern, Managing Director of
Leicester-based W Industries.
Another exciting feature of Virtuality is the inclusion of the walk-around and discover module. Control is via a hand-held joystick.
Fear not though, for you have
been armed with the most advanced
technologically superior weapons
available and you must use them if
you are to Survive.
Another exciting prospect is the
Virtuality 1000 SU. Designed so the
user can stand up and even move
around a specifically scanned area,
it must be linked with the Visette to
provide the interface with the virtual
world.
Interaction within the world is
achieved using a hand-held joystick
and also a Data Glove.. The joystick
is used to move around and shoot
your weapon, if you have one. The
Data Glove fits snugly over your
hand and can be used to pick
objects up and move them around
the playing area. This makes the
game totally realistic and for games
such as Dungeon Master, it would
prove invaluable.
These weird looking contraptions could be the future in arcade entertainment.
Jason
| must admit to being slightly scepti-
cal about Virtuality but | am glad to
have been proved totally wrong.
When | entered the pilot seat for the
VTOL and the visor
was placed on my
head | felt totally cut
off from the outside
world — a feeling
I've never experi-
enced before in an
arcade game.
The game itself
is remarkable. You
can view the world from every angle
and watch as the enemy aircraft fly
by and let loose with an array of mis-
siles. Control is simple: Two joysticks
and a couple of fire buttons making it
easy to get into and extremely diffi-
cult to tear yourself away from. An
amazing experience that has to be
played to be believed.
Paul
lt was pretty weird settling down into
the chair and having to wear the
Visette helmet. With the speakers
right next to your ears and the
Mem screens directly in
front, you are placed
in a totally different
environment with no
interference from
anyone around you.
It took a short
while before |
realised properly that
you had to actually
move your head to see around you.
As | was normally used to static dis-
plays it was really different. The view
seemed a little blurred for me per-
sonally, but | suppose this will differ
from person to person.
Overall though this really is
something special and | can't wait
for my next try.

Unfortunately, as you will soon

rum (just thought [a get the

fierce, ruthless pirate roamed the
seas searching for his fortune. On a
recent visit to a small island in the
Caribbean, the pirate met and fell in
love with a beautiful young woman
who also happened to be the Gover-
nor of the island.
Unfortunately, the lady would not
even entertain the pirate and this
caused him severe problems. For
some reason, the pirate could not

GAME: MOONSHINE RACERS
PRICE: £24.99
The original plot doesn’t disguise
the fact that Moonshine Racers is a
relatively poor product. While vehi-
cles are reasonably drawn, the
speed is far too slow. Supposedly,
the game quickens should you
attain faster vehicles but you'll find
yourself bored quite soon and
therefore you probably won’t even
bother to try and reach the later
levels. The title tune is a Hillbilly
jig for you to enjoy whereas the in-
game sound effects are feeble and
ineffective. Moonshine Racers
deserves credit for containing an
original racing game theme. It’s just
a shame that it’s very poorly imple-
mented.

Palace’s idea of the near «future
where they see the return of the good
times but with more impact than. ever
before!
Bill started it. It was he» who
decided to ignore the fact that most
people tend to work for a living. He
woke up.one fine, sunny morning
and just refused to get out of.bed.
His wife tried to coax him by filling
the dining table with a breakfast fit
for a king but he still wouldn't budge.
He just lay there and asked his wife
back to join him...and memories of
the 60s came flooding back!
News. spread throughout the
neighbourhood. People had to do
without milk on their cornflakes as Bill
was the local milkman. Members of
the British public couldn't do a full
day's work with cornflakes in: their
stomach and no milk! It just wasn't
on!
Mrs Jones began a_ formal
protest outside Bill’s house, but. by
that time, everybody had seen a new
life — a life of laziness and luxury. The
new lifestyle quickly caught on and
the whole of the world decided to
relax. No longer were manual jobs
available as everything became con-
trolled by machines and robots. Bill
became a national hero. Nelson's
statue was modified with a new eye
and a milkman’s cap — a star had
been born,
Little did Bill know what disas-
trous consequences his influence on
the world’s population would have.
He didn't create a baby boom as was
expected but the reverse. As the
machines became more intelligent,
they began to learn that they could
rule the planet. They wiped out bil-
lions of people. A few humans sur-
vived the slaughter and those that
remained soon became aware that
the tyrant robot, Arod-7, was the
cause of the rebellion.
We were not yet totally doomed.
A special robot was constructed that
could change at will between three
shapes, each suited to certain situa-
tions more than others. The robot
was armed with a formidable array of
firepower and, thankfully, was under
human control.
You must take control of the
metal mutant and discover the
whereabouts of Arod-7. Once he is
found, it is your duty to rid him from
the world, forever. Your journey. will
take you through. a number of envi-
ronments from’ the wilderness to
towns of incredible technological
advancements. Each robot, monster
and creature that confronts you will
require different tactics to defeat. You
must learn which of the three forms
you should take and which weapon
to use when attacking something.
By combining all the possible
movements of the joystick with the
fire button in any of its two positions,
you can access a variety of moves.
Also, each mutant shape has differ
ing: abilities and, therefore, a large
number of movements are available.
lo become fully familiar and adept al
each of the mutant forms
requires a lot of skill and practice.
As a horizontal flip-screen type
game with over 160 Metal
Mutant is a highly demanding game
if you want to complete it. Even when
you find Arod-7, you will have to face
five tests before you finally kill him.
Each test requires a variety of differ-
ent skills to be mastered by yourself.
The challenge is now. about to

GAME: METAL MUTANT
PRIGE: £24.99
Metal Mutant is a splendid product.
Graphically, the detail is excellent
with some very attractive back-
grounds. All in-game characters are
drawn exceedingly well with
smooth animation. Sound is con-
veyed as frequent special effects
that are audible at relevant times.
Even the creatures in the forest
that you rarely see have their own
noises. The action is non-stop.
Learning what moves to use against
what creatures is vital and is an
important part of the fun. A very
useful automatic Save Game facility
after reaching certain stages is
greatly reassuring as its timing of
execution is perfect, preventing
you from having to return to a
place too far back in the game for
enjoyment. An absolutely terrific
game!

In the original Sim City, you had to
build a town from scratch and work
your way up the political ladder to
finally become the Mayor. After phe-
nomenal success with Sim City, Info-
grames have released the Terrain
Editor to hopefully follow in its foot-
steps.
The Terrain Editor uses two main
forms of operation: a modified terrain
generator and a tile by tile painting
mode. You can custom design land-
scapes to use with Sim City. You can
also modify existing landforms, even
after they have been built. Removal
of all man-made objects from the city
is also made possible.
The random modify terrain gen-
erator is similar to the one included
in Sim City, but with slider controls
that allow you to control: the number
of lakes, the size and number of tree
groups and even the winding of the
rivers. You can then perform a
smoothing function to give your city a
more realistic look.
You now have complete control
over the type of city you're going to
design. For example you can create
one where sea ports will be the most
important feature due to it being
mostly on the coast.

Almost every computer/football lov-
ing kid in the world must have a
copy of Kick Off or Kick Off 2. Now
Anco have released an add-on disk
by the name of Final Whistle. This
disk must be run with the original
Kick Off 2 game and includes such
extras as: a referee, linesmen and
even a trainer for those crunching
tackles.
Four different pitches have been
included: Wembley (similar to Nor-
mal, except faster), Bumpy (ball
bounces all over the place), Muddy
(same as Soggy) and Icy (ball slides
fast along the ground). Although they
make no visible difference, the pitch-
es add that extra little touch of
excitement to the game.
The most useful of the add-ons
is the off-side rule. This has obvious-
ly been included to make playing the
computer a little more challenging.
Unfortunately, this additional rule
decreases the playability in a two-
player game, as it is harder to score
and this sees most games ending in
no-score draws.
FINAL WHISTLE
ANCO
£12.99
Not worth the money. The add-ons,
unfortunately, reduce the game’s
major selling point — its playability.

The start of level one has you suited up and ready for
action (1). You take a cautious look around before-you
decide your route. That little pile of rocks could
contain a weapon, so you edge towards it keeping an
eye out for any unfriendly advances (2). After picking |
up a new weapon, you decide to give it a try on the
enemy droids (3). Works well, don’t you think?

ored with the usual non-violent
TV shows? Are the latest holo
programmes driving you to
despair? Do you yearn for a little
more excitement? If you can answer
yes to any of the above questions,
wake up and tune into Channel KGS
for the experience of a lifetime.
The Killing Game Show ts broaa-
cast for you every night on. KGS, so
sit down, turn on your set and get
ready for the night of your life. Watch
as the contestants battle their way
around the specially built satellites to
win the much sought-after first prize
their life. Unfortunately, there is no
prize for second place.
Welcome to KGS, glad you could
Spare the time! The Killing Game
Show is constructed of 16 pits of
leath located on eight specially built
Sat@mae moons. Each satellite has a
huge . Cynder embedded into the
center of % and each cylinder holds
two pits of death. You must negotiate
each cylindér until you reach the top
and find your way to freedom.
You play the part of a law-break-
er, who wil be given one last chance
to repay your debt to society. The
show’s sponsors, 21st Century, feel
inclined to give people like you one
more chance - except, this time
you're not only running from the law,
PS
‘put for your life as well. Judging by
the roar of the crowd, It appears the
first contestant has arrived, so let me
fill you in on:a couple of details.
As soon’ as a Suitable candidate
is found (and we're not fussy, if
you've spat on the sidewalk, you'll
do!) we take them off the authorities
hands and prepare them for the
game of their life. To give them just
that little glimmer of hope, we provide
each contestant with a suit of limit-
ed-protection body
armour (generous,
don't you think’?).
To spice things
up: a bit, we_ fill
each pit with DOLL
(Deadly to Organic
Life Liquid). As
time goes
on, the liq-
uld starts to
rise, and if it reach-
es you before
you manage to
escape, you're scrap metal.
Also, the HALFs (Hostile
Artificial Life. Form) ¢
inhabit the pit and will try desperately
to stop you as you attempt to release
yourself from this unwanted. night-
mare.
Fortunately, not all is against you.

You arrive at a large vertical rock face and
utilise your climbing gear to good effect
(4). This wall seems impassable (5), until
you remember the key you found earlier
on. Using the key, you open the door and
continue on.
In an unusual fit of compassion, the
show's sponsors have scattered vari-
ous weapons around the pits, that,
when collected, provide you with a
little hope. Unfortunately, each
weapon has a limited charge and,
once. used, the weapon must be dis-
carded.
Each pit has been filled with
devilish traps that you must solve if
you are to succeed. Camouflaged
containers, when shot, will reveal
tools and access keys. Pick-
ing up the keys will allow
you to activate various
doors and proceed fur-
ther into the — level.
Jumping towards a wall
will — introduce — your
climbing equipment.
If you fall, pushing
in the direction of
the wall will enable
you to grab on, so
long as you are close enough.
An exciting addition to the
game is the video replay facility.
Should you not make it to the exit, a
video replay of your last life will be
shown so you can see where you
went wrong. You can interrupt the
replay and resume control at any
time.. The replay is invaluable on the
later levels, as the enemy droids
always repeat their chosen pattern,
so you should be able to avoid them

magine the power you would
have if you had a whole Roman
army under your own individual
control. Imagine being in com-
mand of units of archers, cavalry
and infantry. Well that is what Cohort
allows you to do. However, | hate to
put a dampener on things, but there
is just as large a force intent on
destroying yours. This leaves you no
choice but to enter into a large scale
battle where bloodshed is imminent.
There are a number of different
scenarios and a lot of flexibility
where choosing your own and your
opponent's army is concerned.
Infantrymen come in three forms:
light, medium, and heavy where
attack and defence strengths along
with mobility vary. The same applies
to the three types of cavalrymen.
You must utilise the terrain to
place your armies in the most
advantageous positions. For exam-
ple, your chances are better when
attacking from the top of a hill
whereas your units will be vulnera-
ble when attempting to
negotiate rivers.
To defeat the enemy,
you can’t just launch all
your units into one large
fracas - it has to be a
planned attack. Deciding
where and when to divide
units is important and
the decision of what
each group should con- *
sist of is vital. A group can
comprise any combina-
tion of infantry, cavalry
and archers.
Travelling from
one location. to
another can be done
at walking, marching or charging
pace. The type of formation you
want your army groups to adopt

when moving is also available.
Strategy plays a significant part
in the game. With units possessing
different capabilities and having dif-
ferences in attack, defence and mis-
sile strength, you must
make educated manoeu-
vres about the battlefield
and judge the strengths
of opposing units. The
strengths are measured
| by a bar chart that can
be accessed at any time.
Morale also plays a sig-
nificant part. lf troops
become demoralised, they are more
likely to lose a battle or even turn
around and run away from combat

situations.
Archers are best kept at a short
distance from the main battle. They
can be ordered to fire at specific tar-
gets and will succeed with their aeri-
al onslaught provided: they have a
good missile strength. However,
should the enemy close in and your
archers become involved in hand-

Firstly, Impressions should be com-
mended for the educational ele-
ment Cohort contains. A booklet is
included in the package, providing
interesting background informa-
tion about the Roman Empire. As
for the game, it is totally mouse
controlled and very easy to learn
how to play. Graphics are colourful
and characters reasonably defined
while sound isn’t particularly excit-
ing with few effects. In terms of
strategy, Cohort contains the ele-
ments mentioned in the review text
and they are executed quite well.
However, you tend to feel more
elements could have been incorpo-
rated into the gameplay because as
it is, there isn’t enough to maintain
a long lasting appeal.

where can you find all the most up to date hints on a single page? @
Anyway, I gotta’ go, so enjoy reading and I'll see you all next month.
Neil Skellam from Waterloo in Liver-
pool has a tip for Treasure Island
Dizzy. He says that if you get to the
tile screen and type in ICANFLY
(making sure that you don’t include
any spaces) you will be able to fly
your way around the screens and
complete the game in no time.
Thanks a lot, Neil.
NITRO - PSYGNOSIS
| must admit to being a fan of this
classic little race game. If you are
having a few problems, try typing in
your name as MAG and you should
find that your gas goes up to 5000
and your money has increased to 50
credits. Quite useful, don’t you
think? My grateful thanks go to Mr
Jonathan Block of Southampton,
Hampshire for that one.
Your not gonna’ believe this, but we
have yet another addition to the on-
running saga of the =
Horror Zombies
cheat. This time
the tip comes from
Paul Borgerson of
Churchtown,
Southport who says
that if you still can’t manage to com-
plete the game, try typing in
BOGEYEATER when asked for a
level code. You should now have
infinite lives, So no more excuses!
NARC - OCEAN
Not the best of conversions this, but
definitely one of the hardest to com-
plete, so this tip from Warren Lee of
Seven Oaks, Kent should keep
some of you happy. Go up to the
dustbins and crouch down. Now,
continuously fire at them for approxi-
mately 11 seconds and walk into
them for infinite lives.
ENCHANTED LAND - THALION
This next tip comes from a chap
called Greg Granger who lives in a
place far across the land known only
as Canada. When you are on the title
screen, type in TCB LIVES FOR-
EVER. Ihe screen should temporar-
ily flash, letting you know the cheat
mode is now active. Press 1-5 for the
starting level and any of these keys
for some extras:
F2 Go to end of level guardian.
F3 Player stats. Use the up/
down arrow to select
the cheat option.
Fa Kill end of level monster.
F10 = Pink border (dead useful,
don't you think?)
Pretty good eh? My thanks go to
Greg Granger for all his help.
This handy little tip will grant you infi-
nite credits on US Gold's arcade
conversion of Line of Fire. When the
game has loaded, press the HELP
key and a message will now appear.
Now type in WHAT A BUMN-
MER and infinite credits are yours.
Also, pressing any key from 1 to 7
will start you off on the relevant level.

GTGA.:
Taking last month’s STA Game of the Month award, Readysoft’s Wrath of the Demon
has had our very own Alan Bunker hooked for days. This month, he gives you all the
advice and tips you'll need to be able to vanquish the Demon from the kingdom it
has overrun.
LIGHTNING (1)
With 15 levels. of parallax scrolling
and a speed and animation of char-
acters that is unbeaten, this level is
probably the most impressive. There
isn’t much advice | can give here,
but rather than trying to kill the flying
beasts, duck under them instead.
As for the potions, blue phials
are energy, green ones are invulner-
ability and yellow bottles are
lightning spells. Don’t collect the red
bottle as it contains poison and will
deplete your strength.
DUEL AT MIDNIGHT (2)
Beware of the Goblin on the far right
of the screen. You can't kill him but
he throws knives at you that can be
avoided by either jumping or duck-
ing. As for the actual Goblin that you
have to kill, the best form of attack is
to the head or knees while standing
still. He’s a very tough character so
keep persisting and you should
eventually Succeed in reducing him
to dust.
. sateen necmmee (3
He’s a big thing, isn’t he? Fortunate-
ly, once you know how to tackle him,
he’s not that difficult. You should find
that the best method is to stand at
the very left-hand side of the playing
area but making sure that you’re not
just slightly off the screen.
When in position, the dragon will
lumber forward and try to kick you.
Crouch and fire. Remain crouched
and wait for the dragon to try again.
Repeat the same manoeuvre as
before and you should defeat the
dragon with the minimum injury.
important Tip: You can tell when
you are successfully striking the
dragon by the expression on its
face.
: oh
ut Ealis iec ies
ali errs seating: Ms
T ANT HAL SCARY HERE)
When you enter the caves, run to the
left. You'll be attacked by various
creatures and the best way to com-
bat them is to learn which creatures
appear where. This is because the
scrolling is relatively fast and antici-
pation of what is about to happen is
important.
There are a few general hints
such as anything that approaches
from in the air behind you is best
avoided by executing a dive and roll.
Spikes should be jumped over and
the larger, static monsters are best
disposed of by using a lightning bolt.
Once you have reached the
extreme left, collect the key from the
Statue’s hand by crouching and
punching. Once this is done, retrace
your footsteps and continue to the
right.
The fire-breathing dragon you
will come across is best dealt with by
low punches. To get close enough,
use an Invulnerability spell. As for
the end of level guardian, kill him by
jumping up towards him and repeat-
edly pressing fire.
The swamp monster can be defeat-
ed by using the same method of
attack you used on the end of level
guardian in the cave.
FRESH AIR AT LAST! (5)
Run to the right. When you arrive at
a pool of water, punch the droplet
that is continually being spurted up
into the air. This will cause you to
collect the water and it should be
displayed in your inventory list at the
bottom of the screen.
Continue to the right and punch
the wall of fire only if you collected
the water. You should now soon
arrive at the Dark Tower.
BAT AND BALLS (6)
The aim of this section is to kill the
giant bat. However, the gnomes that
race onto the screen are there to
help the bat. They throw small round
objects that deplete your energy
should they strike you.
important Tip 2: Each gnome
you kill leaves behind a_ health
potion that you can collect, so this is
a good chance to gather a stock of
the much needed medicine.
st” + feria rae perce Sei nema
BACK IN THE CLEARING (7
Head to the left. You will eventually
arrive at a lever embedded into the
floor but don’t bother touching it.
Continue to the left and you will see
another lever. Punch the second
lever to push it into a new position —
this action will stop some lethal
blades blocking your path later on.
TEMPLE TESTER (8)
This is probably the hardest level in
the game and where you'll have to
make good use of all the health
potions you should have taken from
the gnomes at the Dark Tower. All the
advice | can give is dont hang
around and go whole-heartedly into
the attack. The strike to the mid-riff is
usually the most successful.
THE DEMON’S STRONGHOLD (9)
lf you make it this far, you'll have
done extremely well. All you have to
do now is find the Demon. Use the
map provided to complete this level
as quickly as possible.
THE FINAL CONFRONTATION (10)
He’s a big ‘un! Yep, you’ve found the
Demon and now you have to kill him
and here’s the best way to do it:
move as close to the Demon as pos-
sible, being careful not to stride into
any of the flames that erupt upwards
from the floor.
lt is vital that you keep the
Demon pinned down, and therefore
prevent him from unleashing fireballs
at you. Jo do this, keep jumping up
and shooting him in the face. What-
ever you do, don’t stop!
Watch out for the electricity bolts
that shoot down from the ceiling. You
can tell where they are going to
strike as the orbs they shoot from
suddenly display the build-up of
energy just before they fire. If you
are under an orb about to fire, jump
out of the way but keep firing at the
Demon even while retreating. As
soon as possible, move close to the
Demon again.
The Demon can sustain a vast
number of hits so don’t think that
your tacticS arent working. Perse-
vere and hopefully he will die,
enabling you to rescue the Princess
and live happily ever after!

Harrigan is having a few problems with the Predator. Can you, with the help of this

Harrigan to rid the streets of this menace. This guide will tell you the best way to
tackle each level and inform you of the most evil criminals and how to defeat them.

THE STREETS OF LOS ANGELES
HINTS AND TIPS
The first priority is to collect a good
weapon. Unfortunately, your .45
Magnum is no match for the
advanced weaponry of the vile drug
barons. Ignore the first Mk Ill rifle
that appears and collect the Mk Il
that follows. Make sure you collect
the ammo clips as they scroll by.
A few seconds later, a Mk | rifle will
appear on the floor. This is by far the
best weapon available, so collect it
and try to keep it. Keeping your fin-
ger on the button will spray bullets
across the screen, ridding you of
your enemies fast. Again, make sure
you collect the ammo.
Do not shoot the injured motorcycle
cops, as this will decrease your
badge.
Survival is the name of the game
and the best way to stay alive is to
be careful who you shoot and when.
The foreground (close up) enemies
should be taken out first as they
cause you the most damage. Sec-
ondary to this rule are the gang
members who throw bombs
from the background. A
direct hit from one ofathese
Molotov Cocktails can |
inflict a lot of damage, so
shooting at the doors to
keep them inside or deto-
nating the bombs before they
hit you is important.
Nill also reduce your

LEVEL 2:
THE PENTHOUSE APARTMENT
HINTS AND TIPS
In this level, everyone is out
1 to kill you. Unfortunately,
ammunition is in short supply
so don't go foolishly wasting it by
switching on the auto-fire or holding
the mouse buttons down with blue-
tack. Most of the available extra
ammo has been hidden inside
potted plants, statues and
light fittings. These must
be shot first (some
more than once) before
they will reveal the tenet
ammo. ig
There are no rock-
? ets or rocket launchers on
this level. There is also only
one piece of body armour to collect
(restoring energy to 100%).
The Predator appears cam-
3 ouflaged during this level.
He will shoot a few bad guys
with his laser and launch nets,
spears and disks at you should your
mis-directed bullets make contact
with him. The eyes of the Predator
will flash when he is hit.
The second half of
4 the level leads
into the bedroom
of the apartment. Shoot-
ing the pillows will reveal iat
more ammo clips. The
level reaches its. climax
when you come across. a
strange circle surrounded by cCan-
dles.
A dead body drops down
5 from the ceiling, suspended
by a rope. A machine gun
clatters loudly to the floor and a
whole group of bad guys appear
from over the balcony and start fir-
ing. A Jamaican will. appear and
fight close up. You must survive long
enough to knock out the Jamaican
leader until the special forces can
arrive.
END OF LEVEL 2:

As in level one, the closer enemies
will leave behind ammo clips for you
to collect. There are many ene-

we realise that some of you may be struggling with Sierra’s toughie
— Codename Iceman. If you’re one of those people, here’s Part 1 of a nifty guide
courtesy of Nic Moran of Stockport and our own Paul McNally. Part 2 next month.
So Mr. Bond, you're having a little
trouble playing a simple little spy
game are you? Just tell me where
you are stuck and | will attempt to

I suppose you think you're
smarter than I am! If you’re
so clever where do I
get the money to

If you’d looked around
carefully, you’d have found
your hut. Go in, open the drawer
next to your bed and you'll find 50
cents. (If you don’t you've obviously
got a light-fingered cleaner!)
Fine! But which hut is mine
anyway?
Ask the hotel receptionist for your
key. Yours is the second to the
last hut if you head west.
Don't forget to put your
shirt on. from the back. of
your deck-chair first!

Being the all-round ath-
2 lete that I am, I feel the urge
to indulge in an energetic
game of volleyball. The only
trouble is, my partner keeps
drowning when she goes to
get the ball.
Don’t you read the the manual! As
soon as you hear the cries for help
walk south. into the water. If you're
quick enough you'll haul her uncon-

breaths. Look. Listen.
Feel. Check Pulse.

for a date, but can’t find a girl
willing to give me a chance.
Then the Chi Chi Bar is the place for
you! Ask the brunette who's on her
own to dance. Buy her a drink and
kiss her a few times (ask your
father!). She'll then obligingly invite
you to her hut where you must kiss

After checking the Zoltan machine,
i's always a good idea to search the

usually reveals some money or
some more tokens which can be put
to good effect.
Your problem with the monkeys
can be solved before you reach
them. There should be a stairway
that leads up towards the top of the

the potions located near the right of

he longest and most controver-
sial conflict in the history of the
United States was the disas-
trous Vietnam campaign. Now
you've got a chance to change the
face of history and complete the vic-
tory the Americans could never
manage.
Not only must you try to prevent
South Vietnam falling into Commu-
nist power, you must also secure
your own political future as Presi-
dent, and keep the people back
home happy.
It is in the role of President that
you choose what amount of military
and economic. aid
you will give to the
— South Viet-
namese govern-
ment. This in
itself can win or
lose the war.
Running your
own country isn’t the only job you'll
have to do. You also have to take
the part of the Commander-|n-Chief
and make all the military decisions
concerning your troops, and those
of your allies in the steaming jungles
of South East Asia.
Your men will have to deal with
the appalling conditions and terrain,
not to mention the sneaky guerrilla
tactics of the attacking Viet Cong
who will be out to demoralise your
forces at every opportunity. You
have far more firepower than your
enemy, but you'll have to utilise
fully if you’re to stand a
chance of winning.
In ‘Nam you
’ can choose to re-
» enact any of the
war's. three major
battles: the Tet Offen-
sive, Khe Sanh and the
final 1975 Offensive. In each of
these conflicts the mobility of your
troops is affected depending on the
terrain you're currently in, so you
have to plan your moves taking this
into consideration.
At the start of the game you can
also choose to be either President
Nixon or President Johnson.
Depending on your choice, you will
either start off in January 1968 or
1964 respectively. This makes very
little difference to the actual game-
play but does mean a change of
tactics are required as the war will
obviously go on longer, and more
careful management of your
resources will be necessary.

of posters and a manual that is full

GAME: ‘NAM 1965-1975
PRICE: £24.99
‘Nam is a pretty high profile release
from Domark and strategy enthusi-
asts have been waiting for it for
ages now. Unfortunately there is a
chance a lot of people are going to
be disappointed with the final
result. The digitised graphics are
not very good and just seem to be
tacked on for the sake of it. The
maps aren’t very colourful and are
rather grey looking, which is a real
pity. If you can lose yourself in
wargames and are looking for a
new challenge, then ‘Nam’s worth a
look but if these aren’t really your
cup of tea, there’s nothing here to
tempt you. The task is a long-term
one but it's whether you can be
bothered to play it through to the
end. It isn't the worst wargame
available but it certainly isn't the
best either.

P. Grove. DIAL-A-QUIZ. P.O. BOX 11, SKEGNESS, LINCS. PE25 3NL.
Eagle is the top player of Disc. If you defeat him, you know you can be declared
the true champion.

ad enough of having to fumble
with 20 or so keys on your ST
as you try to manoeuvre the
latest high-tech fighter plane
during intense combat? Tired. of
blasting the same tedious aliens
who never learn that a.-galactic
superhero like yourself is unbeat-
able?
Well, Loriciel have departed
from the norm with Disc. Although
not totally original, Disc reverts to a -
simplistic style of gaming: the sort
that contains a high level of addi
tiveness.
The game is a One-on-one situa-
tion where the object is to defeat
your oppgnent in one of three ways
The two’ players (human versus
computer or human versus human)
face each other across a bottomless ~
void. Each player has his back to a
tiled two-storey wall and also stands
on a tiled floor, Every tile displays a
shape.
You must hurtle a disc that you
will have in your possession at your
opponent's tiles. A successful strike
changes the shape on the tile, signi-
fying that the tile requires a specific
number of hits more to destroy it.
Only tiles on the back wall can be
destroyed with a disc, but the tile
that mirrors the one you destroyed
will also disappear, Causing a dan-
gerous hole in the floor. If your oppo-
nent should fall through a hole, his »/
game will end with a victory for your
However, each
deflect discs with a resilient shield
he possesses. Return shots can be
angled by the positioning of the joy-
stick when you hit back. Shots
against the sides of the arena will
bounce off in the expected direc-
tions.
There can be more than one

disc in the game at one time. In fact,
up to four could be slicing through
the air simultaneously. A disc that
you throw or deflect changes to your
colour. If your opponent misses the
disc, It will rebound as the same
colour that you originally launched it,
and therefore allows you to catch it
as you can't collect discs of your
opposite number's colour. Catching
discs is automatically performed
provided you stand absolutely still
and the disc is within close proximity.
lf your discs strike your oppo-
he will lose energy. Energy
bars are shown beneath your char-
~ acter’s name at the top of the screen,

Smooth animation, lively sound effects
and great gameplay. What more could
you ask for? Disc is great fun to play
which is amazing considering the game
only ever takes place in one location.
Controls are simple to use: the joystick
pushed in various directions with the
fire button in any of its two positions
accesses a variety of throwing possibili-
ties. The two player option is a great
complement to what was already a
good product.

The crowd eagerly await the first Supercars race of the day. Are you going to be
good enough to beat the best?
couple of years ago Gremlin
Graphics released the original
Supercars onto the public.
Now, after a lengthy wait, the
sequel (it could only be called
Supercars Il) has screeched onto ST
screens as yet another car racing
games makes it to the shelves.
The sequel comes from the cre-
ators of Lotus Esprit Turbo Chal-
lenge — Magnetic Fields and takes
all the original features of Supercars
and adds to these a whole wealth of
new ones.
Anyone who missed the original
but has played games like Super
Sprint in the arcades, is immediately
going to be familiar with the over-
head playing style. Pressing the fire-
button causes your Car to accelerate
and releasing it gives you a braking
effect.
Steering around the hairpin
bends is going to cause you enough
problems but don’t forget you’ve got
the other cars to contend with too. In
each race you must consistently fin-
ish in the top five positions. Fail to
do so and you will be disqualified
from the competition and be pre-
vented from completing the rest of
the season.
To make life a little easier, if the
roads seem a little too busy for you,
you can use any means available.
This fortunately includes goodies
such as amour, missiles (including
homing missiles!) and rams. The
only problem with these is they cost
lots of cash and the only way to get
cash is to do well in the races.
Vicious circle really.
Upon loading the game you will
be presented with a menu screen

From here you can repair your car and buy as many new armaments as your wallet will allow you to.
giving you the option to choose from
one of the three difficulty levels.
Each level is made up of seven dif-
ferent tracks getting progressively
harder.
When playing on the hard level,
both the tracks and the drivers are
more dangerous than on the earlier
stages so it is advisable to take it
carefully at first and plump for racing
the easy circuits.
Another factor affecting the cir-
cuits you race on is the weather.
There are three different kinds of
track: Snow, grass and rocks. Each
type of circuit will affect the handling
of your Supercar differently.
Perhaps the biggest change
between this and the first game is
the inclusion of a two-player option.
If this mode is selected you will both
be presented with a split screen
view, with half of the screen being
devoted to each car. Of course if you
keep the game on one-player the full
screen Is available.
When a race is over, you will be
given the chance to repair damage
to your car and to purchase extra
weaponry to replace what you've just
used. The repairs again cost money
and so a high success rate in the
races is necessary if you are to keep
your car performing to its peak.
If you find you've got more than
enough of one particular type of
weapon you can sell them to raise a
bit of extra cash. This is done in the
same way as buying and is
achieved by clicking on the required
item on the menu.
You are only allowed two differ-
ent types of weapon per race but
there is no limit to the number of
these that you have. When racing,
the weapons are fired by either
pushing the joystick forwards. or
backwards, as in the original Super-
Cars, sO you must remember which
weapons you mounted where.
Careful aim must.be taken when
using your artillery, but a couple of
well placed shots could be the dif-
ference in your final placing and the
amount of cash you get. Don’t forget
that all the other cars are armed too
and out to get you. Paul

Dear Melba,

the bombs you must first kill
off all the terrorists in the
area, then simply walk over to the
bomb. Being a Ninja allows you to
automatically switch it off simply by
passing it!
Each of the stages is divided
into three or four sub-levels, so in
reality you get 15 sections to have a
go at. At the end of each level, you
get a bonus game when you stand

As you move along a level you

later at its normal size.
The game is faithful to its
arcade parent with the levels being

plete. The controls are very simple
to operate, although you may occa-
sionally find your hound dashing
off to play with the enemy at the
wrong time because you moved

Eat your heart out peasants, because the Dungeon Crew is off
on holiday. Just as soon as we finish this scroll the whole Crew
is embarking for Teneriffe in The Canary Islands, for a leisurely
week of sun-bathing, wine and hamburgers.
This month, news reached us that Tony
Crowther’s latest masterpiece was ready for
viewing, SO we stuck some mouse on the
Troll’s hair and boarded the Dungeon Bus for
Mindscape.
The new game is called Knightmare and it
is a licenced deal with the TV programme of
the same name. Tony made it clear that he
has not created a game just to fit in with a
licence that was otherwise naff like so many
other licenced deals. In this he has taken his
prize-winning Captive game routines and
expanded them to create a new ‘Dungeons &
Dragons’ style game.
It again puts you in control of four heroes,
picked from the standard Middle Earth races
of Wizard, Adventurer, Elf and so on, and as
with Dungeon Master, the game is stuffed with
loads of weapons both magical and sharp! If
there is one thing we can say about this boy,
he does believe in giving value for money
From what we saw he has attempted to
cram a new novelty into every tiny corner of
the game. Your character can even be left or
right-handed. In addition to the standard,
beard-singeing fireballs, there is also a branch
of magic which can’t hurt the enemy, but
instead affects them in strange ways. For
example you can cast spells which slow them
down or confuse them.
As with Dungeon Master, there are tele-
ports to whiz you around, and Springs of Life
which can be used resurrect dead heroes.

We get lots of letters from adventure fans
asking where they can buy a hint book for a
particular game. While we were playing
games in Mindscape’s offices, the Troll was
rummaging around in their cupboards and he
managed to unearth something we had never
seen before.
He found three huge books crammed with
solutions for nearly every Known adventure.
The books are called Quest For Clues (vols 1
to 3) and each has approximately 40 solutions
plus full maps. The games are from every
company including: Infocom, Sierra, Magnetic
Scrolls, Electronic Arts and so on.
If you are interested, your local software
dealer should be able to get them for you, but
failing that contact Mindscape directly at: The

the river eastwards as far as possible and

Getting hints and solution books can be
a problem for Sierra games at the moment
as they are only getting re-established in
Europe again after their former distributor

easily tell you what else needs doing. The big
trick to realise is that you must get one of the
demons to stand on the pressure pad in front
of the Fighter's Charge inscription.
Once this happens, the pit which leads
south will close. If the pit to the right of the
inscription is open, preventing the Demons
from crossing, you will need to close it. Fight
your way through the black fire monsters and
get upstairs. Dropping down the illusion pits
will get you to the lower lével at the eastern
side of the open pit.
This can be closed by standing on the
correct pressure pad. Exiting the Directory
and returning will generate more Demons
who can then be lured towards you to stand
on the pad. On the other side of the pit is a
portcullis which the ‘open door’ spell will
raise.

Hero's Quest is a great game. Out of the lat-

ways to solve It.

Manarake Root. And that’s what the witch
Baba Yaga asked you to get for her.

Julian
urrah! School holidays are
here and Julian, Dick and
Anne are off for a rather jolly
good time in the village of
Kirrin. Once there, they will meet
Aunt Fanny who has _kindly
offered them a place to live
with herself and Uncle Quentin
for the weeks ahead.
However, Aunt Fanny's |
daughter is rather displeased
at having a bunch of poncey
prats interrupting her own plans,
and will give the trio of toffs a hard
time until they please her in some
way.
You can take the role of any of
the five main characters (the fifth
being Timmy, Georgina’s dog whose
response to your commands are
always ‘Woof! Woof!’ or a shade
more adventurous ‘Woof! Woof!
Woof!’). As a text and graphic
adventure, commands are entered
via the keyboard in the traditional
adventuring sense. There are the
usual Get, Push, Pull, Examine, plus
all compass directions and so forth.
You will have to swap between
characters regularly as some people
are more suited than others to cer-
tain situations. Julian’s supposedly
the most intelligent, Dick needs no
explanation, Anne is the typical star-
ring female who has her eyes set
upon the strong male (Julian),
except in this case, snogging and
sex are strictly prohibited! As for
Georgina, she thinks she’s a boy
while Timmy looks upon the lot of
them with utter amazement. Call me
condescending but | tell you, this
bunch defy belief — controlling the
dog is a relief!
Anyway, the object of the game
is to befriend Georgina, or George
as she likes to be called, and to then
discover the secret of Kirrin Island
which is situated in the bay opposite
where you’re staying. What is the
secret? It’s something to do with
buried treasure. If you want more
details, write to Paul because he’s
an avid reader of the books and has
the TV series taped and locked
away in a reinforced bank vault for
safety...or so the rumour
goes.
Each charac-
ter can be
ordered about
individually,
meaning Julian could
be stood at the train station,
while Dick and Anne are in
the tool shed and George is busy
drinking pints at the local. Actually,
George is more likely to be sipping
ginger beer at the nearby grocery
store. Yes, big butch George is a
real raver with a few ginger beers
poured down her gullet! Alan
Quentin’s study is kept clean and tidy.
The walls are lined with scientific
books that only he could possibly
understand. Perhaps you should be
elsewhere as you don’t want to anger
Quentin for he has a terrible temper.
The tower is a terrific building and
overlooks the rest of the island.
Rather unfortunately, it’s not safe to
ascend to the top. What rotten luck!

ordes of battle-scarred war-
riors arrived at the castle on
this cold, bitter, mist-filled
morning. The kingdom was in
turmoil, the population filled with dis-
tress. The King’s daughter, the viva-

had been kidnapped by
a force unknown. The
kingdom was crying out
for a hero.
That hero
arrived in the form of
Calumn the Mighty, a
fearless, Courageous
and totally ruthless war-
rior from the lands of
hate. Calumn_ bravely
fought his way across
the land to meet the
horrific Golem in neutral
territory, to begin the
final battle from which
he was to emerge victo-
rious.

King, but Calumn has still

GAME: BATTLE BOUND
PRICE: £ 24.95
Battle Bound is a game _ that
requires little thought or brainpow-
er. Your aim is to walk along the
levels and kill anything in sight.
The graphics are nice and colourful
and add to the feel of the game.
Unfortunately, the animation is not
quite up to par and this gives an
impression of unrealism. Sound is
nothing to write home about - the
annoying footsteps of your charac-
ter and the thud of your axe are
the only noises audible above the
monotonous in-game music. Over-
all, not an original game, but one
that will please the mindless army
of beat’em-up fans out there.

GAME: CHUCK ROCK
PRICE: £24.99
From the moment you watch Chuck
Rock’s introduction sequence, you
know that this product is going to
be a bit special. The originality of
the plot, the excellent graphics
and totally addictive gameplay
make this game is a very classy and
polished product. True it’s a plat-
form game and therefore probably
won't appeal to everybody, but
that’s a real shame. In-game graph-
ics are excellent and scrolling is
nice and smooth. Core have got a
really addictive piece of software
on their hands here and deserve
the success that this should give
them.

Oo you remember when you
were but a little child and you
used to spend hours in front of
the telly watching Captain Pug-
wash? Now you get your chance to
set sail with Domark’s new tale of
mutiny and skullduggery on the high
seas.
You can choose to play Skull
and Crossbones by yourself or with a
pirate pal with one of you taking the
role of One Eye and the other con-
trolling the equally evil Red Dog as
you try to take them through the
eight increasingly difficult levels in
the quest for treasure.
Unfortunately, your treasure has
recently become the prized posses-
sion of the Evil Sorcerer, who used
his magical prowess to capture your
ill-gotten gains. Therefore you must
battle your way
through his evil min-
ions to get back what
is now — rightfully
yours.

back and can inflict the odd nasty
wound with their own weapons. Get
hit enough times and you will col-
lapse to the floor, with blood spurting
from your body and one of your pre-
cious lives will be lost.
More often than not you'll find
yourself confronted by more than
one enemy and you'll have to quickly
slash your way through them before
they can all get to you. It usually only
takes one good blow to kill off your
opponents and they will then
explode into a puff of smoke, leaving
you to tackle the other remaining bad
guys.
When you get to the end of a
level you then have to defeat one of
the Sorcerer's most faithful hench-
men, which in itself is no
easy task. If you man-
age to despatch him,
you can then get your
hands on the prize

accumulate loads of
money.

bonuses and are a very good way to
get your Wealth up.
The game can be made more
enjoyable by introducing the two-
player aspect. With two-player mocle
turned on, you and a friend can
each take control of a pirate
(either theoutlandish One Eye
or the reckless Red Dog)
and battle to get the most
Wealth. Alternatively you
can choose to help each
other out as completing the
task will obviously be easier
with a little co-operative
piracy. Paul
Skull and Crossbones has very colourful,
well-drawn graphics and competent
sound. Unfortunately, your character is
slightly too sluggish and the other
pirates are difficult to hit at first. The
biggest problem is the speed at which
you lose your lives - those health
points don’t last very long! However,
the game is quite addictive and fun to
play, especially in two-player mode. It
may not be the best game you've ever
played, but it won’t be the worst.

OPERATION WOLF
HIT SQUAD
£7.99
This conversion of the hugely popular coin-op
(hugely popular because of the large UZI
machine gun bolted to the cabinet) was pretty
popular when it first came out on the home
computers. Our very own Dotty was one of the
Ocean playtesters who helped bring you the
game when it first came out on the ST.
The idea of the game is that you have to
rescue a group of hostages who have been
kidnapped by a gang of international terrorist.
To do this you have to shoot everything that
moves if it looks hostile. Take care not to shoot
the innocent people and Red Cross nurses
though.
Extra ammo can be collected by shooting
the falling clips and also by blasting the poor,
innocent animals such as pigs and chickens.
These sometimes reveal more ammo and
rockets for you to maim people with.
You must also make sure that you get the
soldier who occasionally throws grenades and
knives at you as these greatly deplete your
energy.

“ACTION ANALYSIS
Daley Thompson's Decathlon was a really
good game on the 8-bits and Ocean
improved it dramatically with this new ver-
sion. The graphics and sound were complete-
ly changed so that digitised animation of
Daley could be included.

ACTION ANALYSIS
This was a classic arcade coin-op. One of (pe
major problems with the ST conversion was
the amount of disk swapping that had to take
place with the game on three disks. It’s now
been crunched down onto one thus eradicat-
ing this problem.

GARY LINEKER’S HOT-SHOT
KIXX
£7.99
One of Kixx’s latest budget releases is (not
surprisingly) a footy game, endorsed by no
less than the England captain himself. You
play in a full 11-a-side game complete with all
the usual features such as sliding tackles, cor-
ners, fouls and so on. There’s even a ref who
wanders round sending people off if they get
over-enthusiastic.
The game can be played either with a one
or two player option so you can get some sat-
isfaction out of whipping one of your friends
senseless too.
Control is by the joystick with the shot-
power being controlled by the time you keep
the firebutton pressed down. This is displayed
on asmall meter that appears at the bottom of
the screen to show the strength of the shot.
A whole host of other features are includ-
ed, for example the team strips can be
changed to a colour of your choosing.
Gary Lineker's Hot Shot is a nice little soc-
cer game, that certainly isn't the worst one
around, and is definitely worth a look.

ACTION ANALYSIS
Moonwalker unfortunately isn’t one of the
best games you're ever likely to play. The
gameplay is pretty dire and you’d probably
have to be a die-hard Jackson fan before

ly worth looking at before you buy it.

NORTH & SOUTH
ACTION SIXTEEN
£7.99
Travel back to the time of the American Civil
War and fight as either a Yankee or a Confed-
erate with the aid of characters straight out of
the cult French comic book — Les Tuniques
Bleues.
The game comes complete with one or
two player options of which the latter makes
this into one of the most addictive games
ever! You must try to encircle your enemy, be
it the computer or a friend, and launch sur-
prise attacks on them in order to wipe them
out.
Move your troops, stop trains, take forts
by storm and lead your troops into battle on
the mini battlefield to teach your enemies a
lesson or two in warfaring. Nice graphics and
sound and totally addictive two-player action
make this one to check out.
French software has always been noted
for its originality and North & South is no
exception. You'll be hooked as soon as you've
played this. A snip at under £8. If this isn't in
your collection, it should be.

STAR LETTER
PIRACY PREVAILS
A few months ago | bought your magazine for the
first time. | tried all other magazines before and
really thought ST Action was one of the best. But
how nice it was to read a letter from that guy in
Scotland. He told you guys not to use the Automa-
tion packer v2.3r, and that he was against piracy,
but should we really believe he has never touched
a single pirate software disk. Ha-Ha what a joke!
He would be the first guy in this computer-uni-
verse who doesn’t have one single pirated software
disk. Everybody out there has just a single one and
everybody knows that originals are too expensive
to buy one every week. Personally | bought a lot of
originals, but I’ve also got lots of pirated software.
So this guy is really special. | would really like to
know him, maybe we could exchange some soft-
ware!
By the way, guys like Automation are doing
very nice work. Take a look at their menus and you
will see they are making very nice intros and also
the packing requires a lot of experience. Automa-
tion is not the only good packer around, there are

2) | think you should have a little box in the corner

CUTIE CORNER
Just as-we promised you last month,
here's our very Oown-Jason as his girl-
friend has never seen him before.
Tragically we have to tell you that his
sense of fashion has slowly declined
and he now looks very sad indeed.
His teeth have developed a little
more now, but this lovable little
rogue has hardly changed as the
years have passed him by.
Next month we present the prize
of our Cutie collection. Old Alan “Sir”
Bunker himself will be gracing this
page. Also as a special treat for the
girls we've got our new Assistant Art
Ed, Paul in a series of fetching
poses! Same time, same _ place,
same space!
ADDICTED TO GAMEBOYS
It came to our attention recently while reading the popular press that a certain
section of the population were having a little problem. That problem is their
Nintendo consoles. This little beastie is already in more than half a million
homes and is being blamed for problems such as truancy, marital rows and
job losses! So much so a counselling service has now been set up in the UK!
You can now find out how to complete your favourite game so you don't have
to tear your hair out all week! We've got our very own Dotty to do that anyway!
THANKS T0.....
A quick mention to Brad and Natasha from The Computer Shop in the Arn-
dale Centre, Manchester for cheering up Paul and Jason’s Saturdays and
helping them out with a couple of things.
