I WMI Product availability may be affected by ma Offers valid 5/2/93 - 5/22/93 THE DEBATE CONTINUES Why is it that every game that comes to U.S. radically changes from the Japanese counterpart? For instance, take the awesome game called Ranma 1/2.1 have both Super Famicom versions and they’re incredible! But I ask you, why did Irem have to change the characters when they released Street Combat on the Super NES? Did they feel that Americans wouldn’t like the pre¬ sent characters or understand the intricate story that surrounds the ani¬ mation series that this game is based on? I really wish some com¬ panies would leave the games the way they are. Michael Tiefen Los Angeles, CA These ridiculous changes have got to stop! What I’m talking about is the video game characters that come from Japan and end up getting butchered by the American compa¬ nies to suit ‘our needs.’ Changes like converting the ultra-cool Ranma 1/2 characters into all new people in Irem’s Street Combat and complete¬ ly taking out Bonk’s strange transfor¬ mation in the Japanese version only hurt the game’s quality. Samuel Brewer Springfield, IL Are these changes really that drastic? Write a response and let us know! (Ed. While games go through many changes before they reach the mar¬ ket, many of the companies make special changes based upon the familiarity of the game characters. Since a Ranma 1/2 cartoon never aired on T. V. in America, and can only be seen by watching translated tapes, the popularity of the charac¬ ters seemed weak and the changes were probably made based on that assumption. Besides, if you never bought the Japanese versions of these games, the changes would be unnoticeable anyway.) hi mbim mm Steve Bissett Rory Kosh Dararith Duong Charles Stanley Williamsport, MD Santa Cruz, CA Montreal, Canada Bronx, NY The first place prize is a Fire Stick donated by G & C Joystick Mfg.

After reading about all the exciting things that went on at the WCES in Las Vegas, I asked my father if he would drive me to Chicago for the Summer CES in June. If I can get tickets for it, he said he would drive me. Some of my friends said it isn’t open to the public but others say I can get in. So I’ve come to you for the real answer, CAN I GET IN? When is the exact dates, where can I get tickets and how much are they? Chris Clarkson Tecumseh, ONT Once again, the Consumer Electronics Show will be open to the public. (Ed. Start packing your bags Chris! Once again, the Chicago Summer Consumer Electronics Show will be open to the public. Because of the phenomenal success of the last show - almost 100,000 people came to see the newest gadgets and giz¬ mos on Consumer Day, the honchos who run the CES have decided to open the gates to the public on Sun¬ day, June 6th. For more show infor¬ mation you can call 1-800-338-6901. For advanced tickets call 1-312-559- 1212) RATED 'R'? Today, video games are much more advance than before. They seem to cater more to the older audience too. As many American gamers know, Japanese games have more blood and violence and also show a lot more skin than U.S. titles. Can we expect to see these types of games coming to the U.S. in the near future? Doug Masin Columbus, OH Dragon Knight is one of the many games with an adult oriented theme.. (Ed. Don’t expect to see anything very risque on the game systems in the near future. Remember that the Japanese attitude towards nudity and violence is entirely different than that of the ours. To them it is not a big deal, while here the companies have to be concerned about parents. Looking at our game companies, there is Nintendo where seeing blood in a game is unheard of; Sega, where blood is OK but nudity is a no-no (remember Stormlord); and 777 where the conservative approach to the subject seems to be the way they are going to go. Mortal Kombat will probably be the land¬ mark game which will at least loosen up the violence standards.) WHERE ARE? While flipping through all of my older back issues, I came across some games that you have men¬ tioned but I haven’t seen anything yet. For example, you mentioned Dark Wizard would be coming out for the Sega CD. Since there is a real lack of RPGs on this expensive CD unit, I guess this is the one I’ll have to stand in line for. Brian Minster Campbell, NY In the August issue of EGM (num¬ ber 37), you gave a sneak preview of Super Star Wars. On page 94 in the lower column of photos you showed Luke Skywalker in the trash compactor. I’ve played this game every day and have never come across this part of the game. Does this involve a trick or something? B.J. Jones Palos Verdes, CA At my local video store, they have a game called John Madden: Cham¬ pion Edition for the Genesis that is only available for rental. Since it is always checked out, I have never been able to see what this game is all about. Although I was discour¬ aged, I went to every toy and elec¬ tronic store in the area and they said they’ve never even heard of this game! Was this simply a mix-up at the video store? John Schlottman Baltimore, MD 09 Madden Champion Edition could find its way into retail stores soon! (Ed. Okay Brian, we’ll start with your question. Yes, Dark Wizard will be coming out from Sega for the Sega CD in July. You’ll be seeing more of this game from EGM in the future months as well. B.J., your question took a little more research. After a call to JVC, we were informed that the version which we took pictures of at CES was a preliminary copy of Super Star Wars. That scene in the trash com¬ pactor was taken out to fit the memo¬ ry requirements of the cartridge. Last but not least, John. Madden Champion Edition was developed by Electronic Arts strictly for rental pur¬ poses. Super Bowl teams are the only real addition but this game has become quite a hot commodity. Elec¬ tronic Arts has given some serious thought to the phenomenal demand for this game and may even start selling it throughout the country sometime soon. A few video stores are even reporting that the cus¬ tomers are keeping the game and paying the $150 penalty fee!

It is your job to put five kinds of cookies in their proper rows (all the same kind in each row). Score big when you make a large row of goodies which are cleared for points. The object is simple: get the most cookies out of your batch! For a puzzle game, the latest offering by Nintendo is an interejBPbiversion.

The Q-Mann Has the Soft Touch... ...Boy does the Quartermann feel refreshed! Some great gossip in this month’s EGM, a killer column in the new comic book mag, HERO, and a special voice to the real power behind the success of EGM - you, the faithful subscribers who know a good thing when you see it! Yours truly has packed some miles recently - all on your behalf! While you may have read about some of the softs looming around the corner on the “Gaming Gossip” page, I thought the wealth of knowledge and insight sloshing around in my noggin’ would be perfect for my second Q-Letter... ...Star Wars games are becoming a hot trend, with a variety of different packages set for all the major systems. Top on the list is “Rebel Assault” by JVC for the Sega CD. This game is going to be a CD blockbuster, with tons of digitized footage from the movies and incredibly fast action. Similar in style to the X-Wing computer simulation, this game will focus on the Death Star attack, serving up a stomach-churning ride through the trenches of the Empire’s ultimate battle station. This game will also boast a bevy of techno-innovations, including new data compression techniques and better color selection. Don’t start looking on the shelves until late this year or early in ‘94...Lucas is set to release “Super Empire Strikes Back”, the 16-Bit follow-up to last year’s superb action entry, later this year. The game follows the storyline of the movie, with incredible ‘Mode 7’ effects (including 3-D terrain), the introduction of The Force’ (invincibility), as well as a new ‘Super Force’ that allows Luke to throw his lightsaber and control its movements. You’ll also be able to accomplish new techniques like a double-jump (a la Ghouls and Ghosts)...Software Toolworks will be lifting their own Star Wars lid with “Star Wars Battle Chess”, a unique twist on the typical chess theme. Instead of kings, queens and pawns, Toolworks is serving up Lukes, Leias and ‘droids... ...Electronic Arts is planning to kick into overdrive on their new line of “Mutant League” titles. Following hot on the heels of “Mutant League Football” comes “Mutant League Hockey”, “Mutant League Football 2”, and “Mutant Speed Demons”. All three of these 16-Meg monsters will hit many moons from now, with Hockey joining the line-up by Christmas and Football 2 and Speed Demons both seeing light in early ‘94...ASCII is considering a move into CD games with a property called Steel Diver. The corp.’s big plans for ‘93, however, revolve around a fleet-footed fox that bears a smashing resemblance to Necky the Fox, the curious canine that graces the covers of ASCII’s Japanese video game mag, Famicom Tsushin... ...Look for Software Toolworks to put their faith in Mario-madness! The company plans to bookend their “Mario is Missing” game with five new titles that address themes like geography, history, math, early learning, and reading. The folks at Toolworks are also diving into 3DO in a big way, with a new shaded-polygon programming routine that will be used to enhance their first title on that machine called “Cyber Race”. Also look for a Super NES and Gameboy version of “Captain America”, a Super NES copy of “Wing Commander Secret Missions” due in October, and an Al Unser racing game for the Super NES and Genesis hitting next February...’’Star Trek: The Next Generation” will warp onto both the Super NES and Genesis (both clocking in at 12-Meg ), as well as a CD adaptation that will be loaded with the usual goodies... ...Terry Aki has just flown in from Japan with an assortment of news that’s sure to please! Irem is currently laboring on a 16-Meg version of R-Type tentatively called, now here’s a stretch, “R-Type 3” for the Super Famicom. Also keep your eyes peeled for pix of a new racing game rumored to be under development at Nintendo that will use the Super FX chip! The title? F-Zero 2! QUARTERMANN Oubrtermunn's "TOP TEN REASONS WHY CAPCOM INTRODUCED SF2-CE" ...Sure, the Q-Mann has been saying it all along, but would you listen? Whether you had Q-Faith or not, Capcom has signed onto Sega and SF2-CE is right around the corner. But did you know the desicion to intro CE on Sega was more than just fun and games??? 10. Capcom was heeding Clinton’s call for new investment. 9. Capcom wanted to make a splash in Sega and they didn’t feel Capcom Bowling would cut the mustard. 8. Capcom President wanted saucy new sports car. 7. The programmers just couldn’t get the extra World Warriors into the 16-Meg Super NES version. No, really, they couldn’t do it. 6. That Blanka character started copping an attitude and asking for more royalties. 5. Capcom didn’t want to face the riotous masses that would have gathered at their CES booth had it been debuted on the Super NES. 4. Insect politics. 3. Capcom knew the Neo-Geo clones would start cutting into their market-share. 2. Capcom wanted to make sure that Sega used the Q- Sound (man 1 love that name) system in all their new games (just don’t tell ’em that Capcom owns part of that company!!!). 1 . Capcom wanted to have five more EGM covers for 1993. THE Q-MANN REVIEWS ... BUBSY A lot has been made of this action game featuring a new franchise created by the marketing firm of Accolade Inc. While the strength of the character seems pretty solid (it’s still a rumor, but a TV show is supposedly just around the corner), the game is a bit different story. While the graphics and sounds of this fast feline adventure are well done, it’s the subtle points which could and probably should have been done better. The control suffers the most, with sluggish manipulation in certain encounters and an overall lack of spontaneity in the way the nasties enter the picture. Bubsy does have many merits, including a crisp look and large levels, but the lack of small differences in technique are what separate it from the big boys, Sonic and Mario. THE Q-MANN REVIEWS... COOL SPOT Here’s the kind of all-out action that yours truly can really appreciate. In Virgin’s latest Genesis title, you assume the identity of one of those 7-Up dots from the commercials. Unlike the first game, however, which tried to be more of a puzzler, this game is all-action from start to finish, with great visual FX and animation that is really cool. Sure it boasts some of the features that have made similar carts shine, but Cool Spot does it with more style, and interaction that makes up for some of the problems the equally-intensive Global Gladiators suffered from. This game is also a great cart to show off just how good the Genesis can really be when there’s a programmer who really is out to make something great. Cool Spot is a winner with quality and class from beginning to end. THE Q-MANN PREVIEWS ... TOTAL CARNACE While it’s tough to judge this zippy little shooter (face it, it’s only 20% done) today, the graphics and interaction are shaping up to make one of the best shoot-out sequels in recent memory. The sequel to the coin-op sensation, Smash TV, Total Carnage boasts a testosterone level way above your average blast-a-thons. Strap yourself into your seats for a scrolling blow-out featuring combo play, tons of painful weapons, and huge (no, let me say this correctly), I mean HUGE on¬ screen characters. Toss in a few incinerated soldiers and babes in bikinis and you get a battlefield that stands head- and-shoulders above the others. There’s even an electric chair sequence! The Q-Mann will keep you posted on this super soft, with some pix just for you in the next issue of EGM.

Have your ICEE points in hand and remember that looking at your neighbor will not be tolerated in this classroom...How can the Q begin this classic column without drawing your attention to the head ed’s cover romp: STREET FIGHTER 2-CHAMPION EDITION IS COMING IN JUNE FOR GENESIS! Capcom has signed onto Sega and will unleash SF2-CE as their first entry. The master of all martial arts battles will hit the U.S. before it shows its face in either Japan or Europe, packing 16-Meg of power and a price tag somewhere in the sixties! Some new features include voice, the barrel bonus stage instead of a brick bonus, and the ability to play with either the new Sega 6-button pad (which is being redesigned to be larger as you read this) or the wimpy 3-button controller we’ve all grown to love (you use the ‘Start’ button to toggle between either the kicking or punching action - yech!). And of course the new Boss characters will be added to juice this version up and require everyone who put down $150 for a Super NES and SF2 cart to buy another version...Other | SF2 rumors from Japan have a Super Famicom translation of the Turbo CE version in the works. Capcom won’t comment on this (where did all the new “open-ness” go to?), but the Q-Mann has it from a highly reliable source... ..There are a variety of hot softs now in pre-production (subscribers should check out this month’s Q-Letter for a complete run-down of new games). Some of the highlights include Bubsy 2 and R-Type 3! Check out next month’s EGM for some possible pix...Exiting this topic the Q-Minator must provide the proper updates for SF3: the entire cast of characters will be back for part three, with some new additions as well as an interesting new technique that yours truly has been sworn not to reveal (at least until next month). Also, while we’re on the subject of juvenile reporting, Capcom will not be releasing SF2-CE in tandem with a Sega CD version (although a product that includes actors, voice and music is rumored to be in the works) and Sega has snapped up the rights to the awesome shooter Silpheed from Sega CD developer Game Arts... ...The guru of gossip has learned that Icom Simulations, famous for their Sherlock Holmes games and their, er, Sherlock Holmes games, have sold out either part or all of their company to a Japanese investor looking to get into high-end games. Also, Icom is rumored to have successfully completed work on a development system which creates dual versions of the same game that can be instantly ported to any system platform to save publishers some big bucks...Acclaim is rumored to be inking a deal with James Cameron’s production company. Cameron, who brought us Aliens and the Terminator flicks, is set to deliver a bunch of films for Fox after finishing Spider-Man for Carolco. The Acclaim deal would give the licensing super-power first-rights to Cameron’s new ideas...Speaking of licensing, don’t be surprised if you see a game based on the high-tech, big-budget Godzilla movie coming next I year from Tri-Star. The most likely source of monster carts and CDs would be Sony...For the worst license of the year (or decade for that matter), how about “Federal Express”! I won’t embarrass the company that has plunked down the bucks for this title, but man is it a stupid license... ...3DO has a special plan up their sleeve to entrench their machine in the hearts and minds of consumers before a cable game system becomes operational. The Q-Mann has heard from reliable sources that 3DO will market their machine not only as a self-contained game system, but also as an enhancement board for PC owners! As a high- end graphics and interactive upgrade, the Quarter-Witt goes full thumbs-up (even if the price is still too high)...Atari seems to have a similar plan with their Jaguar, which is targeting the high-end of the market for their 64-Bit RISC- processing mega-system, and is rumored to be embracing an end-goal of building onto the Jaguar with hard drives, keyboards and even virtual-reality head-gear to attract computer-heads...Sega has answered Nintendo’s SFX chip with an upgrade of their own. Called the “DSP” (yeah, I know what it stands for, but it’s their name, not mine), the new chip will give Sega games the same speed advantages but no real palette enhancements...Star Wars games are hot, Hot, HOT! Yours truly has seen development work on not only Super Empire (great Mode 7 FX with hills!), but also Rebel Assault (an X-Wing fighting game in the trenches of the Death Star for Sega CD) and Star Wars Battle Chess (using the characters in place of chess pieces).

The makers of the Japanese FM-Towns computer system have just announced a new smaller ver¬ sion of their system. Called the Marty, this mini-computer has been designed with the game player in mind. Inside the Marty is a 32-Bit CPU, 3 MegaBytes of system ROM and 2 MegaBytes of main RAM. A floppy disk drive and a CD-ROM drive are also built in. About 167,700 colors are in the color palette. All of this technology doesn’t come cheap though, as Marty will have a 98,000 ¥ ($ 810) suggested retail price. One controller will be included. For those who want to use Marty as more than a game machine there is a keyboard, a mouse and a modem communications card. Special attention has been devot¬ ed to the audio as Marty will have 9 channels of PCM (Pulse Code Mod¬ ulation) and 6 channels of FM sound along with CD digital audio. Although expensive, Marty will bridge the gap between computers and games. The new 32-Bit Marty will play both floppy disk and CD-ROM games. Three new games (Microcosm, Ms. Detective and Habitat) will be initially available. It should be noted that many of the older FM-Towns games will not work on the Marty as two floppy disk drives are needed, and the Marty does not have an extension for the second floppy drive. Also, Marty will not play the current FM-Towns software because the operating systems are different. All future FM-Towns computer games though, will be Marty com¬ patible, and there will be additional new games, both educational and entertainment, that will be designed to take full advantage of the more efficient CD-ROM drive. There are no current plans to bring the Marty to the U.S. SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS CPU 32-Bit SYSTEM ROM 256 KByte OS-ROM 3 MByte Kanji ROM 256 KBytes Dictionary ROM 612 KBytes Main RAM 2 MByte Video RAM 512 KByte Sprite RAM 128 KByte CMOS-RAM 32KByte Colors 167,700 Audio PCM-9 Channels FM -6 Channels PERIPHERALS A keyboard, mouse and modem will transform Marty into a powerful computer.

TRUE ARCADE ACTION. You’ll find that the only thing missing from our new Super Advantage is the coin slot Okay, so we added an extra long cord. And our joystick is easier to carry than an arcade machine, not to mention a few thousand bucks cheaper (that means under $50, suggested retail price). Bottom line is, this is about as close as you can get without grabbing a crowbar and—well, you get the picture. The layout’s familiar, and the construction’s tough enough to handle the most intense street fight or the ultimate battle for the universe. We’ve also added a few features you won’t find in the arcades - state of the art effects designed specifically for today’s most radical games. No wonder we call it the... smnAMHM TURBO SPEED.

Nintendo, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Advantage, and the official seals are registered trademarks of Nintendo of America Inc. SEGA, 1993 AND BEYOND.., Rumors, rumors, rumors. In this industry, like many others, rumors pop up weekly about the next gener¬ ation of game systems, software, new technology and company mar¬ keting plans and strategies. Quite often it is very difficult to tell truth from fantasy. For example, will Nintendo be able to sell their 32-Bit CD-ROM machine for $200 like they say they will (fanta¬ sy)? Will Sega drop the price of their Sega CD this Christmas (truth)? The Nintendo issue will be addressed at a later point in time, but EGM ran into Mr. Al Nilsen of Sega and decided to get the official story about some of the new projects that Sega is working on. PHANTASY STAR 4 “It still is very early but it really looks nice. Right now there are a couple of screens up to get the feel of the game. It is now scheduled for first quarter 1994 release here in the U.S. We are trying to have a simultaneous English translation done but we won’t know if that is possible for about 4 months from now. Unless something major happens, it won’t be shown at June CES.” SILPHEED CD “Game Arts [the developer of the game] is dedicated to doing great Sega titles. For the U.S., the name will change on Silpheed. When I was in Japan, there was nothing new to see beyond what was at CES. It’s way cool. This will be a major feature of the June CES. But, we are not building a dome. I want this known right now, I am NOT building a dome [referring to the dome that Nintendo built around their StarFox game at Winter CES].” SONIC CD ‘There is no set schedule for it. Are we working on a Sonic CD, absolute¬ ly. Will we release a Sonic CD, can’t tell you. The goal of Sonic CD is very simple. Sonic CD has to be to the Sega CD what Sonic 1 was to Genesis...which was killer and break¬ through. We have done some dual pathing on it and we will keep pushing technology to the point where Sonic CD is a product that sells hardware. I will not release Sonic CD that doesn’t do that. We have raised the stakes with Sonic 2 and Sonic 3, and it’s get¬ ting harder and harder to make improvements and until something happens that we are comfortable with, we have decided that we will not talk about it and we are not going to show anything because the product is just not there. It’s the number one product that kids want for their Sega CD and I am not going to disappoint them. And we won’t know until mid May whether it will be at CES.” SONIC ARCADE “We have developed two Sonic arcade games that have never been released because they were not the specialness that Sonic was. We are continuing to look to see if we can do something with Sonic in the arcade. There is a Sonic arcade project but nothing scheduled for release.” SONIC 3 “I talked to the designer last night. The game is bigger, memory size, number of levels etc., It is a sequel. Tails is a part of the Sonic story...yes Tails is in it. Hopefully for CES but no promises.” SPORTS GAMES “We are really redoing almost our entire sports line. Baseball, football, basketball, wrestling, tennis and a major focus of the June CES will be sports. On all three platforms...Gene¬ sis, Game Gear and Sega CD. Sports Talk will continue...in its third itera¬ tion.” VIRTUA VR “Virtua racing will not be one of the first games for VR. Contrary to what Quartermann said it won’t be coming out. We cancelled it as soon as Quar¬ termann said it. We can’t make a truth person out of Quartermann [a joke!]. Three games will be at CES.” MENACER ‘There are new Menacer titles from both Sega and from third parties coming at CES.” FOUR PLAYER TAP There are no plans at the present time. We’re looking at it but there is no firm answer now.” CD GAMES “CD software will be a major focus at CES.” Will Mickey Mouse jump to CD? “Maybe.” SEGA 2, SEGA CD 2 “They primarily were developed for Europe and Japan will be doing it. Right now I don’t see it happening for the U.S.” GAME GEAR “Sonic 3 looks cool on Game Gear. The Majors 2 will be coming out. There are 20 new titles coming out. Jurassic Park looks great. Asterix will be coming over from Europe. Tom and Jerry will be coming in July. Surf Ninjas will hit in July also. (August for Genesis). Aladdin is wonderful (all systems). Stay tuned.” SEGA CD PRICE REDUCTION? “One of the very disturbing rumors is that some people are saying that you will see the Sega CD in the fourth quarter for under $200. That is absolutely untrue. That is not good as I can almost already hear the phone calls. That type of rumor can kill the business all based on some¬ thing that is not true. There is no way that it will hit the price point. Are we going to try for a lower price? Yes. Will we get under $200? No! We are going to try like mad to lower the price but you have D-RAM costs, you have V-RAM costs, and the worst cost of them all is that drive. Yes the drive can be made cheaper, but then the yield [dependability factor] is that much lower. There are no major decreases coming. There will be large scale integration of the compo¬ nents but it’s not savings. The $299 is already lower than our normal mar¬ gins. If I can get savings, that I can pass on, will I?...yes. When? I don’t know.” 52 Electronic Gaming Monthly WITH THE SCAM AND SCORE IF ONLY I COULD SKATE SLAM RAGE THRASH ASCIIPAP 6 G, THATD BE KILLER' Whoever said, “life is unfair” must have gotten their butt kicked by the new asciiPad SG. Here’s why: it’s got TURBO FIRE (up to 24 shots per second), hands-free AUTO-TURBO and SLOW-MOTION CONTROL Plus, it looks cool, too. With this kind of control, you’ll always land on your feet.

Nominated for best game of the year, best music and sound, and best graphics and animation Game Pro and Video Games & Computer Entertainment Welcome back to yet another visit with EGM's Game Doctor. This month we have an addition to the Game Doctor’s envelope art compe¬ tition. If you recall last issue, we ran both the winning art for the Draw the Game Doctor contest and for the envelope art competition. Roberto Rodriguez receives runner-up for his creative envelope. By the way, Roberto says he's looking for a job creating characters for video games and seeks advice. I'd recom¬ mend taking as many art courses as possible, espe- | cially those geared toward continuity art—animation, comic books, etc. Video games require that you not only draw a character once, as in illustration or fine art, but from a variety of angles. Thanks again to everybody who contributed to our art contests. Q: Why doesn’t somebody, like the wizards at Capcom, make speed-up boards for home systems like they do for arcade games? Travis Milburn Terre Haute, IN A: Many problems here, Travis. Nintendo doesn't like folks fooling with their technolo¬ gy, as Galoob can attest (even though it won the nationally publicized suit). Also, the board would have to have compatibili¬ ty with all subsequent software, and another question that would have to be answered is: how many companies would be will¬ ing to play along? Remember, an arcade mach¬ ine is a single game, whereas systems like the Super NES must play many, many games. I just don't see this happening in the foreseeable future. Loved your envelope art, by the way, Travis! LETTER •OF* THE • MONTH Roberto Rodriquez was the runner-up in the envelope art competition. ble of playing a 2 megabit CD game and the Sega CD is capa¬ ble of playing a 6 megabit CD game. Because of this, the Sega CD should be able to play the Duo games, correct? Socheath Tes Lawrence, MA A: Memory alone doesn't pro¬ duce compatibility. CD programs created for the Macintosh can't be run on a PC-based CD drive, because they use different for¬ mats. Similarly, Duo and Sega CD games employ different sys¬ tems for running their programs. CD games are not interchangeable between systems such as the Duo. Q&A Quickies: Mauricio Chiprut of Mexico City, Mexico, wonders when he'll see a CD drive for his Super NES. Check out the April issues of EGM and EG, Mauricio, for the full story, but I still wouldn't look for it much before '94... Jean Gagnon of Montreal, Canada purchased the Japanese version of the game released in this country by Konami as Cybernator, but does¬ n't understand why the Japan game was from another publish¬ er.

In the endless quest to uncov¬ er the latest gimmicks and gad¬ gets, I have stumbled upon some Street Fighter II goodies that will have your friends drool¬ ing with envy! The first is a set of Street Fighter II characters that are cast in pewter. This series of sets features (American Names): Vega, Chun Li, Ryu and Balrog. The second set has M. Bison, Sagat, Ryu and Chun Li. It seems kinda cheap that they would throw in two of Ryu and Chun Li, but they are in different poses. I would like to have seen Guile or Blanka, but who cares, these characters look good any¬ way! As a final note, if you hap¬ pen to find these at a Japanese retail store, pick them up because they’re really flying off the shelves! The first set features Vega, Chun Li, Ryu and Balrog. (American names) Search for the box that looks similar to the Japanese SF2 game. SEGA OF JAPAN DOREMON MEGA DRIVE | 4 MEG 1 CARTRIDGE Join Doremon, a strange little critter as he explores seven lev¬ els packed full of adventure. Though this game is only 4 Meg, it looks great. The game play is similar to the style of the Mario Bros, games. The main charac¬ ter is animated with little person¬ ality quirks, and the comical theme is predominant through¬ out. It is unlikely that this game will come to our shores, but if it does, it’s one to look for. SEGA OF JAPAN The atomic section is filled with danger, not to mention radiation. Ouch! ESPERANZA MEGA DRIVE 8 MEG CARTRIDGE An all-out battle is being brought out by Sega of Japan. Called Esperanza, this game focuses on fast-paced, hard-hit¬ ting action. The main character is a young man who is part of an anti-terrorist group. Armed with a gigantic Assault Suit, he must fight his way into a number of enemy strongholds protected by the most advanced weapon systems. Non-stop action awaits our hero, and only fast reflexes and super power-ups can save the day. Hopefully Sega will bring this awe¬ some shooter to these shores. After being dropped behind enemy lines, our hero begins his mission. You’ll have to fly into the very center of the enemy complex. The enemies have Assault Suits too, so the odds are against you. Who knows what evil secrets lurk within the confines of the swamp. # 72 Electronic Gaming Monthly Ltd. MAC B Inc.

It only works at the start of the spin. Ryu has stronger attacks, a faster fireball, and a devastating powerful Hurricane Kick that knocks players down in one hit! He is still as slow as he was in the original version. US'JISLL'J ^LL'JZJJS Tap fierce the instant before doing a fierce Dragon Punch! Ken has been enhanced with a wider Dragon Punch, a fast Hurri cane Kick, and has been given more quickness overall.

Short and Forward hit once. This will sure spice up old combos! Guile has a new enhanced Flash Kick that hits twice when the Roundhouse button is used. He also has a new “knee thrust” (shown above - F+K2) that leaves him wide open to attacks.

The large new bounce after a Spinning Pile Driver, or Screwdriver, was designed to fling the fighters apart so Zangief can’t cheat. Zangief has been given the abili¬ ty to move while performing the spinning lariat, and his defensive power has been greatly strength¬ ened. Overall, his Spinning Piledriver range was increased. To do the spear moves at anytime, press D+P3 Or D+K3 while in the air. The Yoga Spear is good against air attacks, while the Yoga Mummy hits low. 1 - Dhalsim just isn’t as lethal as he used to be, even though he has been improved. Both spear moves have been modified, and can be executed anywhere in the air, not just at the top of a jump. As you play, you may notice how certain hits have a longer, or possi¬ bly shorter, range. One fine example of range tweaking is Ken and Ryu’s close Roundhouse Kick, commonly called the Axe Kick. This double-hit move could not strike the damaged car in the original version of Street Fighter II, but now it can. The range of this move has been increased to reflect its actual length. Other attacks, like Chun Li’s low Round¬ house, have been shortened to the proper length as defined by the onscreen image. This has increased the overall playability and number of advanced techniques available to expert players. Good job, Capcom! Electronic Gaming Monthly 107 Notice how the “attack burst” now hits the middle of the car. The range has been extended by nearly an inch. Before Champion Edition, your foot would pass harmlessly through the car! Now that it’s official, kids across the country are curious as to how Street Fighter II will be controlled with only three buttons. To be hon¬ est, this is one of the most innova¬ tive, and sadly, most aggravating problems the Genesis has faced with Street Fighter II. The most obvious solution is, of course, a new six-button controller for the Genesis. In fact, both Sega and Capcom are creating six-button controllers for the Genesis as you read this! The Sega controller will be a pad style like a normal Genesis controller, but with three new but¬ tons, labeled X, Y, and Z. To main¬ tain control pad compatibility with past games, the addition of a MODE button will be necessary. The Capcom controller will be designed as a joystick similar to the Super NES Fighter Power Stick. One main difference is that the stick will have Sega is on the way to making a 6-button pad like this Japanese controller! the MODE button to toggle between three-button and six-button modes. Of course, what about the people who can’t afford to blow big bucks on two new controllers (including myself!), how will they be able to play Street Fighter II? Many rumors have floated around about Capcom opting to go with the button-timer technique TTI used when develop¬ ing the Fighting Street CD years ago. This method uses two buttons; one button is for punches, the other is for kicks. To differentiate between the three strengths of punches and kicks, the player would have to hold down the button for a specified length of time to achieve the desired effect. The longer a button was held down, the stronger the attack. Fortu¬ nately, Capcom realized that this method severely damages the ability to perform the devastating combos possible in Street Fighter II and opted to go with the toggle method. The toggle method will use the Start button as a switch to exchange between punches and kicks. In the standard position, the three Genesis controller buttons will perform as jab, strong, and fierce punches. With a quick press of the Start button, they will become the short, forward, and roundhouse kicks. This method will insure that the timing will remain rel¬ atively unchanged. This is, unfortu¬ nately, very cumbersome, and it still /jjyyxjjjf juwu jl> jij'Jsjyj... Just when you thought Sonic and Chun Li would be duking it out, they’re quickly becoming friends! Surprisingly, Capcom and Sega had a 75% complete prototype at the press conference, with a six-button pad! is not smooth enough to play like the arcade. Punch-kick combos are nearly impossible while using the three-button mode. This method also, won't allow pausing in a game! After testing the various options, the only real option is to go out and fork out the extra dough for the six^ button controllers. The real decision will be whether or not to wait until several controller companies (such as C&L Controls, etc) decide to cre¬ ate their own six-button for the Genesis. Odds £ these controllers will u arcade parts that will last longer thar Sega pad. the arcade issue, you may want to now, are, use Look out! A is on its way Of course, with the introduction of a six-button controller in Japan, word was a-buzz about Street Fight¬ er II for the Genesis. Rumors ran rampant, and Capcom even went so far as to completely deny that Street Fighter II would ever be released for any system other than the Super NES. It was a grand surprise to learn that not only was SF2 being released for the Genesis, but it would be the Champion Edition, not the original! In fact, the prototype at the conference was playable, with only a few backgrounds, endings, and tweaking left to be completed. As you read this, the production ver¬ sion should be finished! 108 Electronic Gaming Monthly MLlSiSiJ^U JlHSJJJf /JJ3 UJPPZll* l j zuLuii ±iuu n^i+UL i '/jhia -u lull* JJ / ISJ^J JJDf £jj'JJLPLjJJL>/Lj LIP 3PLL1 Here is the close-up of the Street Fighter II Champion Edition screen.

In the year 2493, the human colonists of New Shanghai on the planet Vega 4 had no idea that their workers discovered dormant eggs of a dangerous, parasitic life- form. The colonists found them¬ selves helpless against the Aliens that formed from the eggs, and sent a distress signal for help. A passing ship of Predators heard the call, and made the decision to hunt the Aliens instead of a human colony. You play the role of a Predator. In your hunt, you will come across hordes of Alien Drones, eggs, War¬ riors, Facehuggers and Chest- bursters. Collect weapons to help you on your quest, such as the disc and spear. Items will appear after you defeat an alien. Some of these are meat, invisibility shields and Alien skulls (the trophies of the Predator Warriors). Many attack methods are at your disposal, like the grapple, elbow punch, throw, fly¬ ing kick, spinning kick, slide and bounceback.
