SOMETHING FUNNY HAPPENED ON MY WAY TO THE CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW... As all die-hard EGM readers know by now, the Consumer Electronics Show is the definitive showcase for everything new in video games. Both good and bad softs receive equal attention in the spotlight of new products at the CES, providing gaming editors like myself with an unparalleled opportunity to see into the future and test firsthand what promises it holds. It's also a decent place to pay twelve bucks for a piece of pizza in a cafete¬ ria with inadequate seating. But what's more important than the open bazaar spirit of the show is the ways in which it consistently, year after year, manages to instill new faith in the video game industry to those who are lacking, and focus even stronger atten¬ tion on those products that are worthy of additional attention. It also provides EGM with a chance to visit the 100+ booths and display areas throughout the convention hall and surrounding hotels to snap the first pictures of the games you'll be playing tomorrow. In short, the CES not only succeeds as a trade show that caters to the movers and shakers in the video game industry that get the hottest titles from computer screens to store shelves, it also provides a unique chance for video game publications to pass on a sneak peek at what's just over the horizon. But something funny happened on my way to this year's show. The organiz¬ ers of the CES decided to unlock the doors which had, since the show's inception, kept the public from getting a direct look at what the future had in store for all of us. The 1992 Summer Consumer Electronics Show will be open to everyone - and everyone will be highly surprised to see just what the CES is all about. For the game player it will undoubtedly prove to be the ultimate video game wonderland. Those lucky enough to attend will be privy to the first information on hot hits like Street Fighter 2, Turtles 4, Batman Returns and Sonic 2. You'll also see the American version of the Mega CD-ROM drive for the Genesis in action and get special screenings of the GameBoy Game Genie, Sony Play Station and new TTI Duo game machine. The CES will provide all who attend with the sensation of exactly what it's like to be the editor of a video game magazine. Even though our editors have played many of the biggest titles for months, there will still be many more softs and hardware previews that the EGM cameras have never been exposed to before. And for those of you who do attend, you can sure bet that EGM will be there on the floor with you! In addition to passing out preview copies of the July edi¬ tion of EGM to qualified readers, our booth will contain many other special surprises ranging from a Street Fighter 2 competition (with a Street Fighter 2 arcade game and Street Fighter 2 Super NES carts as prizes) to a sneak pre¬ view of what is sure to be one of the hottest video game magazines ever pro¬ duced! In short, EGM is as excited to see you coming to the CES as you are, and we won’t disappoint! For those of you who can't make it to the Chicago party, don't worry! The EGM cameras will take in every new game, just as we've done in the past! We'll also deliver all the excitement from the show next issue in a special 32- page collector's magazine that highlights everything video games have to offer in the months to come!

And I'm not just saying this to get into your mag either. But anyway, I just wanted to let you guys know that you're doing a great job on covering the arcades and reviewing the games that EVERY¬ ONE likes. Oh sure another mag could cover SF2 with a couple of pic¬ tures, but you guys did a whopping 15 pages on it!!! How did you get so much information in just one issue when no one even talked about it? Craig Wilson Fort Lee, NJ I had to write to you guys to compli¬ ment you on your SF2 coverage in the April issue. You guys had the first in-depth coverage of the mega-hot SF2 for the S-NES. As far as I'm con¬ cerned, EGM rules. Jerett Blaskey Campbell, CA Honestly I love your magazine and I love your reviews and it blows every other mag away. But frankly for about the last 6 or 7 issues something is really pi.me off. I am sick and tired of hearing about SF2. Sou spend too much time on that "16 meg wonder' 1 . If you ask me it is a mindless punch¬ ing, kicking game with an old idea with a couple of neet tricks. Spend your time on other stuff like Genesis not the S-NES. John Mullin Bayport, NY I just called Capcom and I got dis¬ appointed. Since I heard about SF2 Champion Edition, I wanted to know what system it would be coming out on. They said it would NEVER be coming out for any home system. They also said that none of the new features of the Champion Edition were put into the S-NES version. You have always been able to get the straight scoop, will the Champion Edi¬ tion ever come out? Alex Rogue Hialeah, FL The world's most popular game has to be SF2. I can't count the hundreds of dollars I have poured into the arcade machine. Then last month I saw your great 16 page insert on the game and I decided then and there that I will sell my Genesis and buy a S-NES. This game is hot. While I applaud your extended coverage of the S-NES game I can't help but won¬ der if you being paid by Capcom to hype it up. What causes me some concern is the fact that none of the other magazines have had the cover¬ age that you have. Sure, Mr. "I won't publish it till it is in the WorldBook" hasn't done anything on it, as expect¬ ed, but I find it hard to believe that the other 2 mags haven't done anything on it at all. Explain yourself! Daryl Stenberg Kinnelon, NJ I noticed that you made an unusual statement in your April 15 page blow¬ out of SF2. You wrote in Guile's stats that he served in the Special Forces in Vietnam and, that he was born in 1960. The last American troops were pulled out of Vietnam in 1975 when Guile was only 15. Did you guys make this up? Josh Raymer White House, TN (Ed. The reader response to our lengthy SF2 coverage has been phe¬ nomenal! Well over 99.9% of the let¬ ters were in favor of it and we really had to search long and hard through the mailbag to find a negative letter like John's. We here at EGM are gamers and we like to believe that we can tell if a game is good or bad. SF2 is better than good, it is spectacular, and when a game is that good we want to tell everybody, everything we can about it. In this case it took a special trip to Capcom to do it. Here is the scoop. As you can guess the security on this game is intense. Back in February there was only one copy in the U.S. and it was at Capcom; and it was to stay at Cap¬ com. There wasn't any exclusive granted as all of the magazines could go there to play the game and take photographs. Two mags were just a short distance away and we were 2,000 miles away. Distance aside, it didn't take too much to convince Steve to let us go. The rest is history - a lot of photos, a couple of interviews and 15 pages in the April issue. We can't say why we were the only mag to cover it in detail. Perhaps after it is out in the stores... There is no hard evidence that SF2 Champion Edition will be coming to any home system. You name the rumor and we've heard it also - Mega CD, TurboGrafx CD and even the Lynx! As of this point in time (there may be some BIG surprises at CES) there is only one home version and it is the S-NES game. We noticed Guile's age discrepancy when we got the text from Capcom on the player profiles. Unfortunately the profiles were created by Capcom of Japan and, even to this date we don't know why they showed him as a 'Nam vet at age 15.) 12 Electronic Gaming Monthly If you're into awesome action, these three Arcade Classics are so hot they're cool!

I was about to head down to the local arcade to spend BIG money to fight Sheng Long when I realized that no state is abbreviated "HA". Being from Hawaii saved me from bankruptcy. It was pretty funny seeing all the other SF2 junkies futilely trying to get through 10 perfect rounds with M. Bison, though. Cruel, too cruel. Yet funny in a sadis¬ tic sort of way. Jeremy Niwa Honolulu, HI I just had to write you about your April Fool's trick. It has to be Sheng Long. I believe that this to be this year's prank (and perhaps the prank of the decade)! The key is in the pic¬ tures. In photo 1, when time expires Ryu is no longer in his fighting stance, ' but stands with his arms folded. Also the LAST place Ryu and Bison would end up after a draw would be their exact starting positions. Photo 3, When looking at the spire on top of the building behind the "E" in Sheng Long, it has completely disappeared. One should see a partial piece of the spire through the "E". Finally although Sheng Long appears no larger than Ryu his shadow is the same size as Bison's. Am I right? Grant Kumagai Scarborough, Ontario (Ed. This is just a sampling of the let¬ ters we received on our April Fool's contest. Not everybody guessed the SF2 pix as the joke though. Out of the thousand + letters we really got some strange entries. Some of the interest¬ ing, but incorrect guesses include: the Lenus Next Wave; one of the Cameri- ca ads; the Game Gear on TV EGM Express; the Take the A Train interna¬ tional file and the whole Power Punch fact file. Until next April...) RGB ON S-NES... A few months back you talked about a company which would make RGB cables for the Genesis system. At that time you stated that S-NES cables would be out in the near future. I don't remember the company and are the cables ready now. My monitor (Corn- 76 Electronic Gaming Monthly modore 1084) doesn't have a Super VHS input otherwise I would use that Super Nintendo cable. Can you help me? Patrick Knies Little Rock, AK Redmond Cable has RGB cables for both the S-NES and Genesis. (Ed. No problem Patrick. The name of the company that makes all the cables is Redmond Cable. They have two offices. To serve the East Coast call (615) 478-5760. For the West Coast cass (206) 883-1430. They have the S-NES RGB cables for many different monitors so it is best to give them a call. Expect to pay about $40 to $50 for the cable. We have their 1084 RGB cable and it works great!) PROFITABLE TRICKS!... I just had to write to you to tell you that you have the best tricks section in the industry. I even have been able to use it to get me some free prizes! What I have noticed is that your mag¬ azine comes out at certain stores a week before it comes out in other stores. As soon as that store gets it in I buy it and search through it for the really hot codes. I then copy them down and Express Mail them to the other magazines. It got me a some free prizes! J. Thomas St. Louis, MO (Ed. Uh...thanks for the compliment. I think. Any way, you can always count on EGM to get you the very latest in the hottest tricks and passwords. One note of caution. Don't expect them to be excited about getting passwords. After they got nailed for running our 'set-up' David White code they are now a little gun shy about doing it again.) MEGA CD COMPATIBILITY... I am very upset about what I read in the February issue of EGM regarding the Genesis Mega cD drive. Twice in your magazine you mentioned the fact that the old Altered Beast [Gene¬ sis] systems will not be compatible with the Genesis Mega CD. For own¬ ers like myself who bought the system when it first came out, Sega has made it impossible for us to utilize these new drives. Does Sega really expect us to shell out $300 to $370 for their CD drive, then spend another $150 for a second system? Scott Gordon Reston, VA (Ed. Sorry if we didn't make the point clear Scott, but we didn't say that the old Altered Beast Genesis system wouldn't be compatible with the Gen¬ esis CD-ROM. Rather, we stated that the [Japanese] Mega Drive Mega CD-ROM would not be compatible with the Genesis game system. Sega of America has every intention to make sure that all U.S. Genesis sys¬ tems (both the old Altered Beast and the new Sonic systems) will be com¬ patible with the new Genesis CD- ROM.) THE MISSING GUY... Yo! There is a burning question that I just absolutely need answered! In a back issue of EGM you stated that there was a game called Final Fight Guy. It had the one missing dude from the S-NES version that was in the arcade game. Is this cart just a reis¬ sue of Final Fight? Will it be 2 player? Will Haggar and Cody be in it too? Daryl Brownell Toledo, OH (Ed. The game for the Super Fami- com is called Final Fight GUY. As the name suggests the person (Guy) left out of the S-NES version is now in this update. Now Cody is the one who is left out of the new game. The levels are the same except that there is more background detail. There are more things that you can pick up too. Unfortunately it still is only a one play¬ er game.

My hands are trembling as I type this. I just sent off a letter to you a few days ago, but I just got my hands on your phenomenal May issue and I must thank you for giving me a reason to go on living. In the May issue your coverage of Techno Soft's Thunder Force 4 abso¬ lutely floored me!! They are the great¬ est video game creators on the planet, and I am confident that their master¬ pieces will be released in America. I have asked before, but why has Ele¬ mental Master not been released? It is so perfect! What is the problem? Please do an article on the life and times of Techno Soft. Please clue us in on the situation. Michael Owens Walls, MS (Ed. As you know, Elemental Master hasn't been released in the U.S. yet. When it first came out in Japan it sold quite well. However, it appeared at a time when everybody was bringing out a new shooter and Technosoft just didn't think it would do very well in the U.S. If you really have to have the cart you may want to order it through one of the mail order companies. It is quite old and you should be able to get it for a good price. Thunder Force 4 is very new. We were only able to get our hands on a few screen shots and it is still to early to tell if it is going to live up to the Thunder Force tradition. Also, since it is so new no plans for the U.S. market have been made. It may appear at the Summer CES, and if it does you can be sure we will be there with our cameras.) UNFAIR TO CANADIANS? I am writing to you about your video game high scores. Way back in your October issue you said that you didn't put any restrictions on Canadians in your contests. But the fact that we must include a S.A.S.E. to get our official contest order form puts a restriction on us Canadians because there is no stamp in Canada that I can use that will work in America. To top it off, I was real mad when I received my February issue and found that I would have won third prize in Castle of Illusion as my score was over 2 million. I hope you can solve this problem not only for me but every¬ body who lives outside your country. Nathan Hortness Petawawa, Ontario (Ed. Sorry to hear that you missed out on winning one of our contests just because of a stamp! There is a real easy solution to your dilemma (and anybody else's in the world). All you have to do is go to your local post office and ask for an International Reply Coupon. Tell them that you want the equivalent of airmail postage from the U.S. to your country and they will advise you as to how many I.R.C.'s you will have to send.) MEGA CD...P0PU1AR? Let me start off by saying these few, basic words: EGM Rules. There's no doubting it. You guys have all the info and pictures before anyone else does. Like many I am eager to purchase the long awaited Sega Mega CD-ROM machine. It'll wipe out the competition, no sweat. It looks as if it is doing pret¬ ty well in Japan, but no magazine has yet confirmed its holding place on the market. Is it not doing as well as it was expected? Or is it toppling the compe¬ tition? Since you guys have all the right answers with no lies included, I thought I'd bring my question to your attention. Christopher Friedberg Bensalem, PA (Ed. I wish I had good news to report Chris, but the honest truth is that the Sega's Mega CD-ROM is not doing that great in Japan. It started out hot with the first batch of units selling out in a few hours. There were a couple of pieces of software in the stores when the system came out but the new software stopped. Without good games, the system's popularity declined. During our last trip to Tokyo in March, we were very amazed to see the Mega CD heavily discounted and selling for about $250. All of the Japanese licensees are working on Mega CD software, but when the next generation of software appears in the stores later this year, it is very likely that the system's sales will pick up again.) NEW AT THE ARCADES... You guys are the greatest! I remem¬ ber a while back you hardly ever cov¬ ered the arcades and another mag had the coverage (albeit 4 months old). Now you are easily the number one mag, as demonstrated by your Street Fighter coverage. The others are now chasing you. Has there been any new developments beyond 32 bit machines that we should know about? Sidney Sterberg Canton, OH * (Ed. Sega has just demonstrated some new technology which should help make certain simulations (espe¬ cially driving games) even more real than the current Rad Mobile etc. This new system incorporates 3 boards in one. The first is simply called Model 1; the second a CG (Computer Graphics board) and the third - a modified System 32 board. The Model 1 is a practical (and eco¬ nomical offshoot) of their Virtual Reali¬ ty concept. The CG board is an ultra fast pro¬ cessor which can handle 120 mega¬ pixels per second and 16 million col¬ ors. This represents an image about 4 times as detailed as previously was possible. The modified System 32 board now includes the ability of handling two "Wide Vision" (using the new 16:9 aspect ration) 36 inch monitors side- by-side simultaneously! Whew! The first game to use all of this is called "BV" (for Beautiful Vision). This is a super real formula racing game that blow all others away.

What really bothers me is the fact that YOU, the editors of the number one game mag¬ azine have heard nothing! Does Sega still exist? Please find out what is new and tell me something? Nathan Maas Brooklyn, NY Help! I need information! All my friends are raving about how great the new Super Nintendo CD-ROM is. They are talking about specifications that are better than the Mega CD How can this be? You are no better! First you were bragging about how good the Mega CD specs were and now it seems that you are taking Nintendo's side. Are you a fair weather fan and side with whatever is newer and more newsworthy? I haven't seen anything new about the Mega CD in your elite magazine in months. Do something! Bryron Snyder Spokane, WA I want to compliment you on your great Sega coverage. You have always been the first to give us the news. Your Mega CD story was right on the money and the incompatibility of regional CD's saved me (and lots of other players) a lot of money. Your Wonder Mega article was insightful and unique. Nobody else has even mentioned the Word Wondermega yet alone an indepth article. Keep up the great work on the on-site interviews. They lend a great deal of credibility to your stories. Where the other mag will list a few vague sentences you tear the subject apart and show your staff actually playing the unit! Keep up the great work as I know you will! Ron Moore El Paso, TX LAST MINUTE UPDATE: Capcom has just announced that it will be releasing later this year, a S- NES football game endorsed by the NFL! It will be called Capcom's NFL Football. Hmmm..that makes both Konami and Capcom with the same game, on the same system, with the same endorsement and name! The new Sega CD (name change) will sell for $299 and come with 3 CD's! (Ed. We are as concerned about the future of Sega as you are. Believe me, Ed has made it a full-time job searching for the latest info on all of the CD-ROM systems. What gets printed is not determined by choice but rather, by what is available from all of our sources. As we have report¬ ed in the past, Sega has imposed very tight security on anything they will be showing at CES. This includes their CD unit. There is good news though. Although Sega has cut off the U.S. press they can not control what goes on in Japan and England, so Ed has been spending a lot of time on the phone getting the information that Sega doesn't want us to have. This is the latest from our World Net ™ sources: SEGA CD-ROM...!! Sources in England are reporting that Sega has changed the name of their CD-ROM system. It no longer will be called the Genesis Mega CD- ROM. The new, official name for the U. S. will be Sega CD - Japan is reporting in with the ulti¬ mate in hot juicy top secret info!!! Sources at our World Nef M partici¬ pating magazines are telling us that the new Sega CD will retail for $299 in the U.S. Although somewhat high¬ er than the reported $200 for the Super NES CD-ROM, Sega is rumored to be making up the differ¬ ence with three pack-in discs: 1) To demonstrate the spectacular abilities of the nongame CD portion of the Sega CD system, Sega is rumored to be packing-in a CD+G(graphics) disc which will include various types of music selections, with short still-frame video clips that match up with the tune and play on your TV. 2) As we reported in the past, Sega will take some of their hottest car¬ tridges (titles unknown at present) and pack them in on one CD. NOTE: These will not be new games, rather they will be just direct transfers with no graphic enhancements or changes to the games. No word on whether Sega will trash the game music and replace it with new super stereo CD music. 3) There will be a pack-in CD game. Sources inside Sega confirm that nothing new, that is really hot, will be available by September. That leaves only games from third party compa¬ nies. With nothing 'spectacular' already out (or soon to come) in Japan, that leaves companies like loom, Virgin or Acclaim who could have a game ready. We strongly believe that a Sega CD version of Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detec¬ tive or Terminatoir or Bart Simpson will be the pack-in disc. 4) Rumors persist that Sega may at the very last minute (depending on if they can find out if the $200 Ninten¬ do CD-ROM price is real) sweeten the deal a bit further. They may (in the U.S. tradition) throw in a game cartridge as a super bonus! SNK HOLDS TOURNAMENT AT NOTRE DAME UNIVERSITY SNK held a Neo-Geo contest at Notre Dame Univ. on April 24, 1992. Students got to try out the newest in software and had the chance to win a NEO-GEO gold system.

Before you Quarter-maniacs let out the big yawn, yours truly is here to fill you in on the straight scoop! Code-named the Phoenix, this super machine not only employs 32-Bit technology, but also uses an advanced graphics chip that, besides providing the scaling and rotation that are a must in post- Super NES video gaming society, will enable game programmers to utilize digitized images as well as conventional graphics! Although many of the specifics of NEC's 32-Bitter are up in the air, including the sound system, the Q-Mann has also learned that the machine will be CD-ROM specific. Don't hold your breath waiting for this hottest of game technologies, however, because a formal introduction won't be made before the middle of next year!...Look for Electronic Arts to get into the console wars with a new machine being produced in conjunction with Matsushita! The unit is being developed by a company owned by both electronics-titans and will be based around a CD-ROM specific format! More details to come... ...Look for Street Fighter 2 - The Competition Edition to find its way onto other consumer console and handheld formats! Sources in the know have indicated that rumors heralding the game on both the Genesis and Lynx could come true sometime early next year! The Q-Mann, of course, will keep you posted...Quartermann tips his hat to the gaming masters of Nintendo! The master of the rumor mill has locked down info from within the big 'N' that translates into a big thumbs-up for their super CD-ROM system! Besides boasting a faster processing time, a system cartridge that can be upgraded, and an expanded DPS processor (the one that gives you the Mode 7 glitter), you can also expect faster access time for little or no slow-down! Now whether or not the spinning discs arrive at the $200 price Nintendo has boasted remains to be seen...Speaking of price tags, what's the deal at Capcom?!? Sure, the Street Fighters were nice enough to get us in the ballpark and announce a mega-joystick, but what's with the big question mark on the retail cost, why is Nintendo removing the blood and guts, and how come the release date has been postponed again? A release date has been announced in Japan as well as a price (around 75 bucks). Have you ever heard of mail order? I know the Quarter-fiends have... ...Here's one to file under 'S' for big stinky-poo! Any of you who finally got your mitts on a Zelda 3 cart have discovered that the cheese-heads at Nintendo decided to blow their biggest game of the year by packing in a road map to get around all of the nastiest mysteries and hardest areas! I don't buy it, big 'N'. That quaint little disclaimer about personal fortitude and how bad it is to use little booklets that ruin video games that us poor saps spend seventy bucks on just doesn't cut it! If it bothers you so much, why is it in the box?... ...Get ready for a jolly '92, and an effervescent '93 in the software department! Top on the Q-Mann's list of upcoming entries is the fifth, yep, you're counting right, the fifth installment of the Mega Man series! Get ready for a whole new cast of robotic crazies for your Nintendo 8-Bit! 8-Bit? When's Rock gonna make it to the Super NES?...The Terminator saga, however, will continue on the Super NES when Acclaim brings Arnie to the 16-Bit screen! Still no word on how this soft plays, although the rumor has it that this game will NOT be based on the digitized destruction seen in the Midway quarter-muncher...The Terminator may make his digitized debut on the Mega-CD, however, courtesy of Virgin Games! In addition to a new version fully hyped with actual footage from the game, the boys at Virgin also plan a take-along cart for the Game Gear!...Also expect M.C. Kids on the Super NES and Genesis as well as a secret license that will knock you out from Virgin...That's it for this action- packed episode! Be sure to take care my little Quarter-friends and keep your hands off my Twinkie... - QUARTERMANN 44 Electronic Gaming Monthly Spanky's Quest, a Fun Filled Super Adventure Fantasy for the Entire Family! mrsuME Serious Fun TM Available for Super NES and Game Boy!

O Circle Reader Service 203 FIRST LOOK AT SUPER NIHTENDO CD-ROM SCHEMATIC One of the biggest surprises at the Winter Consumer Electronics Show was Nintendo's announce¬ ment of some of the specifications for their upcoming Super Nintendo CD-ROM drive. Their press release stated that their unit would be in the stores as early as Jan¬ uary 1993, and that it would sell for only about $200! Add in the fact that almost all of the specifica¬ tions they published equalled or exceeded the ones for Sega’s Mega CD-ROM, while the price was only about half of what Sega's unit was selling for at that time in Japan ($370). After this announcement, Nin- % tendo went back into seclusion and the editors at EGM started to pull together every possible detail available from all of it's World Net sources. This search, piloted by Mr. Michio Ohashi, Editor of The Super Famicom magazine in Japan, has turned up new infor¬ mation compiled from industry sources and analysts. 21 MHz. COPROCESSOR! The most important new fact was additional information on the coprocessor that will be used to assist the main CPU. Sega's CPU runs at a healthy 7.16 Mhz and its Mega CD-ROM coprocessor clocks out at a speedy 12.5 Mhz. One of the problems of the Super Nintendo is the fact that its CPU runs at only 3.58 MHz. Sources are indicating that the coprocessor which will be in the S-NES CD-ROM System Cart will clock out at an unbelievable 21 MHz. This coprocessor (SCCP) was developed by Nintendo for their new CD-ROM system. Since this chip will aid in the calculation functions of the game program, usually the faster the chip, the more it can do. 48 Electronic Gaming Monthly SUPER NINTENDO SYSTEM T t CPU 1 Mb RAM I SYSTEM CARTRIDGE W 2 Mb ROM 4 Mb RAM COPROCESSOR T CUSTOM PROCESSING CHIP D/A CONVERTOR HHHH CONNECTOR CD-ROM DRIVE COMPUTER CONTROL PROCESSOR SERVO 1C CHIP Most of the S-NES CD-ROM functions will be handled by the new coprocessor. The system cart will contain all of the 'brains' for the S-NES CD-ROM. SEPARATE SYSTEM CARTRIDGE The schematic at left shows another advantage the S-NES CD-ROM will have over the Mega CD-ROM. With the coprocessor, extra RAM and ROM packed in the removable system cart, should any future new technology require the system to be upgrad¬ ed, all that the user will have to do is to buy a new system cart. NO SCREEN FLICKER Some of the S-NES games have visible slowdown and screen flicker. Put too many char¬ acters on the screen and the slow CPU can't handle all of the pro¬ cessing and the action. Now with a super-fast coprocessor, ana¬ lysts say that slowdown and flick¬ er will no longer be a problem. REALISTIC 3-D ANIMATION In addition, the S-NES copro¬ cessor has been specially designed to be able to recreate animation sequences. Because of the coprocessor's great speed, the S-NES CD-ROM will be able to display full-screen animations. Also, because of its speed, the coprocessor will be able to handle the tremendous number of calcu¬ lations needed in fast moving 3-D polygon graphics (racing games) without bogging down (slow¬ down). "AN INCREDIBLE MACHINE" While it is still way to early to say whether Sega or Nintendo will win the CD-ROM race (the quality, quantity, price and avail¬ ability of software will determine who wins), analysts who know the market have gone on record in saying that based on specs and price, the S-NES CD-ROM will be "...an incredible machine..." • Functions unknown as of press time. iiWf * - ^ s i*. )\' •* vc- ASCI I WAR E >3ftES POWER CLUTCH SG .

Now you can control the boss characters as well in their quest for world domina- tion. Every character has been enhanced with new exciting changes that turn the tables on previously “unbeatable'' characters. As you can see from the chart below, the stats have changed, and now Ken is the most pow¬ erful character in the game. Even Ryu beats out Guile in overall ratings. Even so, gamers can play any character ver¬ sus him/herself, so there is no excuse for losing! Some new moves/changes are: Ken's deadly fierce dragon punch not only has a wide range, but it also allows him to do a fearsome triple dragon punch more deadly than Zangief's Screwdriver - ouch ! His light-speed hurricane kick is a valuable weapon now, and if a character is caught off-guard, look out! Ryu's fire¬ ball is faster than Sagat's, and his hurri¬ cane knocks any player off their feet in one hit! Chun Li has new close-in kicks that can surprise newcomers. Her wind kick is a powerful weapon, too. Blanka is a formidable foe thanks to his speedy shock attack and increased stamina when hit in a ball attack. Guile has a worthless knee attack and a cool double jackknife kick. He still recovers quickly Ken in Red vs Zangief in Black! Sagat vs Vega! after Sonic Booms. M.Bison does dam¬ age with his torpedo and flip kick even if blocked, and Vega can perform a wall climb anywhere. Sagat wield"" le deadly (up close) Tiger Knee and a tnrow. Bal- rog can headbutt and throw power hits all day. Zangief and E.Honda can move with their power punches (Spin Punch & 100 Hands) but otherwise, n‘> improve¬ ments. Dhalsim, sad to say, is not very different other than the speed of his tor¬ pedo moves, and the power of "\ts head¬ butt. Luckily, each character has a weak point for at least one World Warrior to exploit. The table stats will most likely change over the next year, but so far, Ken is taking the lead after a quick sprint from Vega, Blanka, Chun-Li and M.Bison. All characters were redrawn with sub¬ tle differences, except for Dhalsim, Guile, Ken, and Ryu. They have been given addtional muscles, smirks, and gyrations for realism. The backgrounds sport different colors, too. All in all, Street Fighter II is the game of the year. ...

However, his special tech¬ nique is a twirling attack that uses the Nunchakus. This is extremely powerful. Donatello will not win any world's fastest speed records either, but his other actions make up for his sloth¬ like movements. His weapon is a simple Bo, but there is not anything simple about it. It enables you to give the Foot Clan a good beating before they can even think about touching you. Donatello's special move is a jump kick used with Bo. Raphael is a bit on the speedy side; in fact, he is the fastest turtle of the bunch. Due to his speed, his special attack and rush attack are extremely effective. His weapon is a pair of Sais. This is a relatively pow¬ erful weapon, but due to the size of it, Raphael's defense suffers. Raphael's special attack is a ballistic round kick.

You can choose to hit the court with any one of the many pro teams avail¬ able. The baskets are few and far between, so you must find the player on each team who will do most of your scoring. A surprising amount of half court shots are completed. Also, a surprising amount of slam dunks are missed, so be prepared to spend a little time learning who can score and from where on the court. Passing is truly impressive in Super Slam Dunk. We are talking about behind the back, no look passes happening all of the time! Be careful, though, because the com¬ puter is good at stealing the ball. There are plenty of opportunities for fast breaks with open lanes to the basket. However, successful dunks are not as frequent as one would expect. You must learn to slam the ball. Magic Johnson’s Super Slam Dunk is a fast paced, no holds barred good time. For the true sport¬ ing enthusiast, this is the ultimate in basketball action! Welcome to the stadium! Virgin really pulled out the stops for this beautiful view from the balcony. As slams go, this is one of the best. It is a forward jam with hang-time on the hoop for style. Find yourself in the crowd going nowhere? Well, jump up and draw the foul! Try to make the shot too. So, you say you just cannot get in the paint? Then, fade back and take the big three from the line! This incredible court challenge provides many impressive slams. Here is the left hook jammer! He is out of right field for the fly¬ ing two handed jam! It is sure to cow any and all opposing teams. When an opponent gets in your way, jump up and plant your foot in his chest. Intimidation!

By adding a deck of cards and the skill of poker to an already great puzzle game, they have created one of the most entertaining hand-held brain teasers to come out yet. Five lanes down and five lanes across create unlimit¬ ed opportunities for poker hands. The object is to go through an entire deck of cards by placing them across and above each other. When you create a poker hand such as a flush, a straight, or three of a kind, the cards will disappear (giving you points) and all of the ones above them will move down leaving room for other cards. If you run out of room before you run out of cards, then you bust and all remaining cards on the screen are added up (fifty points each) and subtracted from your score. If you end up with less than five hundred points (you start with a thousand), then you lose and do not get to go on to the next level. If you are not a good poker player, do not worry.
