I am not quite sure that I totally agree with Sega’s new rating system. I think that (like in movie ratings) there should be a rating between “GA” and “MA-13” because Mortal Kombat and Splatterhouse 3 are much more violent and geared toward adults than Street Fighter 2. Yet they all received the same rating. I think that Street Fighter 2 should have received a “PG” rating, or one between “GA” and “MA-13”. I also think that Sega should do a better job rating their games. For instance Silpheed for Sega CD. Look at all the bad language in that game yet it got a “GA” rat¬ ing. I think that something is very, very wrong here. On one end you have Street Fighter 2 for Sega Genesis, it has no bad language and hardly any blood or vio¬ lence. On the other end, you have Silpheed for Sega CD. It has no blood and little violence but a lot of bad language. Right? Well then, why did Street Fighter 2 get a “MA-13” rating and Silpheed (with all its bad language) get a “GA” rating? Philip Wormdahl Salt Lake City, UT (Ed. Great questions Philip. As you can see from Ed’s editorial, we would like to know the details also. Sega’s rating sys¬ tem, while a good step in the right direc¬ tion needs not only an explanation from Sega as to who is on their rating panel, what their guidelines are for assigning the ratings and also how they plan to educate the public about the ratings. On Sega’s behalf, it should be pointed out that at least they are starting to pub¬ lish some of the game ratings in their own magazine Sega Visions. The cover¬ age is very limited and far from complete (They state that they will only cover the “killer” titles, of which 18 were logically GAs out of a total of 21 rated games). At one point in time they also briefly described their ratings in an old issue of SV. NOTE: We’ve just learned today that Sega has a 1-800-379-KIDS hotline for the parents to ask questions. You’re right about their rating system. To be truly effective it should be more detailed. With the MPAA ratings already established and working quite well, it wouldn’t have been too difficult for Sega to copy what was already in existence (OK, maybe change a few things to avoid copyright infringement) but they didn’t and there is some confusion when it comes to questionable language in games. Bear with us and we’ll get to the bottom of this, hopefully in a month or two. Check our Review Crew for the Sega ratings on the latest games.) A PAIR OF ACCLAIM JOYSTICKS! The best letter submitted each month will win his/her choice of either the Super NES or Genesis version of Acclaim’s hot, new Dual Turbo Wireless Remote System. 16 Electronic Gaming Monthly :: 4 SEGA RESPONDS TO VIDEO GAME VIOLENCE! After placing a few calls to Sega we have been able to get a copy of the letter that they sent out to Mr. Lungren regard¬ ing their opinion about video game violence. It is as follows: “We applaud Attorney General Dan Lungren’s concerns. They are Sega’s concerns, too. Sega is sensitive to the concerns of parents who need a standard for evaluating the age appropriateness of video games for their children. That is why we have established the Videogame Rating Council, an independent council of educators and child psychologists, to rate video games according to age appropri¬ ateness—GA for general audience, MA-13 for mature audiences with parental discretion advised, and MA-17 for adults and not appropriate for minors. Sega believes it is the parents’ right and responsibility to choose what is best for their children. This issue should be self- regulated by parents with information pro¬ vided by the video game industry. To help inform parents, Sega has institut¬ ed a comprehensive parental information program that includes a rating that is clearly marked on the front of each game package, a toll-free parents hotline (1- 800-379-KIDS) and a brochure written by Scholastic Inc., the largest publisher of in¬ school educational materials, called “Everybody Wins: A Message to Parents about Video Games.” At Sega we have games for all ages of video game players. Ninety percent of our games are GA rated (General Audience), such as family entertainment titles like “Disney’s Aladdin,” “World of Illusion (CONTINUED ON PAGE 18) Guess who is starring in their own Sega Genesis game? (connect fleas for answer.) % 75 Starring Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck” and Barney’s Hide and Seek” to sports games such as “NFL Football ‘94 Starring Joe Montana” to action/adventure games such as “Sonic Spinball.” With this wide diversity of games, we have taken the action of creating the Videogame Rating Council to better inform our consumers on the content and intended audiences for the game titles we offer. Sega has spearheaded the Videogame Rating Council in hopes that it will become an industry standard. All Sega third-party software developers and Sierra On-Line are already using the Videogame Rating Council. We hope this call from the Attorney General will spur other hardware companies to join us.” Sega’s new game rating system needs explaining and more categories. (Ed. The letter was printed on official Sega letterhead but it did not have a signature on it. Just to test the hotline we called the 800 number. The person who answered did offer comments on games like Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter 2. He was very helpful. After we asked him, he agreed to send us literature on the rating system. So is Sega in the clear? While they have taken steps in the right direction, they need to find more ways to get the information to the public. Their own publi¬ cation —Sega Visions (which is sent free to all registered Sega game system own¬ ers) could be used more effectively to get the game rating information to the people who need to know about it. Ed said it all in his editorial. We can help get the mes¬ sage across, but Sega should do more. They ought to really start insisting that all ads carry the game rating. Also, the rat¬ ings are too general as the questionable language in some of the games (like Silpheed) is not being addressed. Duplicating the MPA A ratings is a simple solution. More next month when we dive deeper into how a game gets a rating. We will, also get other industry comments on the subject.) WHAT'S IT MEAN? I’ve read your magazine for almost two years now. In those past two years, we’ve seen many technologies come and go. With that technology, you rattle off some pretty big words that not everyone is fortu¬ nate enough to understand. You’ve said things like E-PROM, Alpha and Beta copies of games, MHz, RAM, ROM and CPU. These words may be nothing for you people that deal with this technology everyday but for we ‘common Joes and Janes’ it becomes a real tongue twister. If at all possible, could you please let us know what all this technical stuff means? Doug Shiwano Tallahassee, FL There’s a lot of high-tech lingo going around, like this E-PROM pictured above. (Ed. You bet it’s confusing to keep up with the new lingo. We contacted Mary Snow, Associate Publicist for EA SPORTS at Electronic Arts, to get the latest scoop on how Electronic Arts and many of the other companies classify these terms. Mary states “Alpha software is the first time all the features are in the game. They are not necessarily working but they are in the game. Beta software is when all the fea¬ tures are there and working, bugs have been identified and are being fixed or have been fixed. Beta is typically two weeks before the software is final and 12 weeks before the software is shipped. An E-PROM is a pre released version of the cartridge that is used for testing and it is * also sent out to editors for review. ” As for the other questions, we can answer for those. The term MHz stands for Megahertz and is the computing speed for electronic devices; the higher the num¬ ber, the faster the speed. RAM and ROM are acronyms for Random Access Memory and Read Only Memory. The more RAM a system has, the more infor¬ mation it can store into the RAM which equals a faster speed. Read Only Memory, or ROM, is what many game cartridges use to store information. ROM chips can only have information put onto them once, hence the name Read Only Memory. CPU stands for Central Processing Unit and this is the brains behind any high-tech electrical device.) NORTH POLE POLL KIDS GO HIGH-TECH FOR THE HOLIDAYS This seventh annual poll shows that kids love the old-fashioned traditions of the holiday season; but when it comes to gifts, they want high-tech toys. The seventh annual survey, conducted in randomly selected schools across the country by the youth marketing research firm, BKG Youth, asked more than 3,000 kids, ages 7-13, what top five gifts they would like to receive this holiday season. In the top-ranking video game category, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System was the number one choice fol¬ lowed by the Sega Genesis. Super Mario All-Stars ranked first in video games fol¬ lowed by Mortal Kombat. About 86 percent of the poll’s respon¬ dents play video games. Of those who own computers, 63 percent say they use the computer most often to play games. Marian Salzman, author and president of BKG Youth, said those results were not expected. “As members of the Nintendo generation, kids’ fascination with video games has made them much more com¬ puter friendly than their parents.” At the same time, the North Pole Poll shows that both children and parents are cautious consumers. Asked whether they would buy the established name or the new, more expensive technology when purchasing items such as video games, both groups overwhelmingly chose the established brands. “People of all ages are interested in high-tech items,” said Salzman, “but they’re still concerned about price.” According to this year’s survey, most children expect their families will spend $100-8200 on them for holiday presents. Parents estimate they will spend $100- $300 per child on holiday gifts. According to toy industry analyst, David Leibowitz, senior vice president of Republic New York Securities Corp., it will be another record-setting season for toy sales, including video games. The high-tech theme continued when children were asked to give presents to certain celebrities. Choosing from a list of gift ideas, many of those surveyed gave high-tech answers when they decided Macaulay Culkin deserves a Super Nintendo Entertainment System while President Clinton should receive a one-way trip to Mars. More in the traditional spirit of giving, 56 percent of those polled said that their families donate gifts of food to the needy during the holidays. About 72 percent said they would be willing to give one of their unopened presents to a needy child. 18 Electronic Gaming Monthly The preceding excerpt was from BusinessWire SHOT You’ll have to move fast to avoid the repulsive clutches of the dog catcher New on y'S', y ’Tj I Break all kinds of laws in one of four European Racers.

I called a mail order company and they wanted $99 for it and $39 for the six-button con¬ troller. Then I called another company and they wanted $79 for the game and $45 for the controller. When I told these people you said the game was $26 they said you guys didn’t know what you were printing! All I want is an explanation to all this mad¬ ness. Oh, one more thing. The people selling the game for $79 said that the adapter was made to fit Street Fighter II into the PC Engine, not the Duo. I don’t understand. Anthony Pattermann Lake Mary, FL The only place to find Street Fighter II for $26 is across the sea in Japan. (Ed. You want an explanation? You got it. The $26 price quoted to us was from our foreign correspondent in Japan. While out on his rounds collecting games to preview in International Outlook, he stumbled upon some occasional stores selling the PC Engine version of Street Fighter II: Champion Edition for $26. When you called the mail order stores for prices, nat¬ urally they’re going to be higher since they have to pay for customs, shipping and earning a profit margin as well. Stores in Japan are small and carry a lot of games. Based on demand, these stores are forced to clear out games that don’t sell well and keep reducing the price to get it out of the stores. In America, stores buy the game fora certain price. Storage isn’t usually a problem so these stores rarely drop the price lower than what they paid for it. The only way you could get a copy of SF2:CE for that price is to either know someone in Japan who can pick it up for 22 Electronic Gaming Monthly If you think you have what it takes to contribute to society, go write to Newsweek. If, however, you have a thought or opinion that fellow gamers would particularly find crazy, we’d love to immortalize you with a special edition EGM T-shirt proclaiming your fondness of and psychosis to video games! Dear EGM: I think there should be a game called “Barney Must Die.” You would have every weapon you could possibly think of and the game would be one big maze with Barney at the end. To make it more fun, throw in his little geek friends, and kill them, too. This game must contain much gore so the Barney haters have the plea¬ sure of watching the purple fool explode into a red pile of mush. Parents, here’s a great gift idea for your children. Remember, Christmas is coming soon, and so is Barney’s demise!! P.S. How much would I have to pay someone to bring me Barney’s head?? Thanks go out to Robbie Allen of Ardmore, OK for his imaginative video game title. For his hard work and effort, Robbie will be receiving an EGM T-shirt and a complete library of the Barney and Baby Bop video collection. Enjoy! you or head to Japan yourself and buy it. As for the adapter, that doesn’t make much sense. The only reason you’d need the adapter is because you don’t own a PC Engine, which Street Fighter II is designed to fit into.) LASERACTIVE IS COMPATIRLE After you introduced us to the LaserActive and said that games would also be developed in Japan, my big ques¬ tion to you is whether or not these games *can be played on the American LaserActive system. I know that everyone is used to the restrictions Sega has put on Sega CD owners by not letting American Sega CDs play Japanese Mega-CDs. But since it’s Pioneer, I’m hoping to hear that Pioneer hasn’t forbidden the American public from enjoying overseas games. Chris Auburn Amarillo, TX (Ed. Good news Chris, now everyone can enjoy fun and fascinating games like Angel Mate and Melon Brains, two games developed in Japan for the PC Engine compatible LaserActive. There doesn’t seem to be much of a concern at Pioneer for protecting American gamers from Japanese games, since many of the games have a more Japanese theme to begin with. And that says nothing about the language translation problems! However, there may not be much of a need to go searching for foreign games since many of the games will probably be picked up by an American company any¬ way. The cool shooter game called Vajra has a strong possibility of coming to the States along with Pyramid Patrol, the game that’s reminiscent of Sewer Shark on the Sega CD.) There’s no need to worry. Cool games like Pyramid Patrol will come to the U.S. I am writing regarding the ‘World Heroes Rebuttal’ letter in the Interface section (November, Vol. 6 Issue 11). I agreed completely with EGM on the rating of the game. World Heroes is only average at best. Although Mortal Kombat is not the greatest game, World Heroes is no way better. Being a programmer myself, I can relate to how Dan (WH producer) feels when a program he worked so hard on got bad reviews. But credits should only be given where they are due. I thought that EGM did a fair job at rating the game. Jim Buu Irving, TX AND...WH REVIEW...BAD! I have been reading your magazine for years. Even before I bought my first sys¬ tem since the video game crash of the ‘80s I read your magazine for information and guidance on current trends. That was when I was a sophomore in high school. Today, I’m a sophomore in college and I see that times have really changed. The Street Fighter 2 craze really affected the way you[r] company makes its magazine every month. What I once considered a must-have guide for anyone involved [in] video gaming has turned into something which curtails to a readership base that is even younger than Gamepro’s. Your overall ability of reporting has gone from very informative to ridiculous. Ed Semrad, I’m convinced, doesn’t know what he is doing. In last month’s issue [November], SunSoft wrote to your maga¬ zine to argue that your review of World Heroes was bad and that it didn’t do the game justice. Semrad wrote that, “ You did a great job. You copied everything , even its deficiencies. But we are also saying that the arcade game is not that great, especially now.” First of all, it isn’t your job to criticize a reproduction of a game just because you didn’t like the arcade game from which it is based. People who buy World Heroes will probably do so because they liked the arcade version. By writing that the game isn’t good, you’re implying that it’s bad because it was not translated well. On the contrary, WH is an incredible translation and anyone who loved the arcade version will love this game. If your [you’re] going to rate translations do it on two criteria; 1) Is the game a good transla¬ tion of the arcade? & 2) How does the game stand on its own merits? As a read¬ er, I like to think my opinion counts. And indeed they do. Semrad treated McArthur’s letter with no regard for deco¬ rum or professionalism. Semrad con¬ cludes his reply with the phrase “Case closed.” I beg your pardon, Mr. Semrad, but if you think you’re the final word in deciding the quality of a product you’re gravely mistaken. The only thing you achieved with that tone is to disgust read¬ ers into dropping your magazine. The one time Semrad disagreed with the Review Crew it made him look stupid. The WCES had just passed and Semrad wrote in his editorial that Silpheed was, unequivocally, the best game of the show. He wrote that StarFox paled in comparison. When the reviews came out, though, StarFox was game of the month and Silpheed was not. These inconsistencies are very common lately. Keep up the good work Ed. To close, I don’t think EGM is worth paying for anymore. I want information and instead I get a magazine written by people with inflated egos. I don’t care how many 4-year-olds write and ask for a 10 page article on “A day in the life of EGM.” Before signing off, keep doing what you do now and write your magazine like it’s being read by illiterates and two year olds and when your adult readership plummets to the level of Gamepro’s you’ll find your¬ self asking, “You think we could have . worked a little harder?” Christos Kagadis Tempe, AZ (Ed. We want to thank Mr. Kagadis for his honest opinion about EGM. Unfortunately we had to trim his three page letter back to fit the space available, but his two points about WH and Silpheed are worth commenting on. Regarding WH, we do rate arcade translations on many different factors including the two that you mentioned. Yes, WH is a great translation of the arcade machine, Ed said that, and you quoted him correctly as the underlined part shows. About how it stands on its own Ed also said that “Fighting games evolve and get better. Turbo SF2 is the best.. ” Put WH in the stores next to all the other fighting games and when Johnny comes in with only enough money to buy one game, which one will he buy...WH or Turbo SF2? There have been four million copies of Turbo SF2 sold and that speaks quite well for that game’s popularity! You obviously like WH and disagree with our review (and also that of the most authori¬ tative mag in Japan). Everybody is, of course, entitled to his/her opinion, but let’s not get too carried away and damn the whole mag because of a review. As to the “Case closed” statement, there was nothing bad intended with that state¬ ment, and when Ed went to SunSoft to discuss the letter (before it ran in the mag¬ azine) nobody even gave it a second thought. However, since you are now a sophomore in college and read more into what was said, Ed offers his sincere apol¬ ogy to Dan, all the people at SunSoft, to you and all our readers for being so abrupt. Silpheed is a different matter. Ed raved about it at January CES. Remember that he is our Editor, and as such, he travels the world talking to the programmers, developers and game companies. He is privy to a lot more info that what we have back at the office. He saw something unique and exceptional in the game way back at the Tokyo Toy Show in June 1932. The game was progressing nicely at Winter CES and he wrote an editorial about it. If anything, it got everybody to take notice of it. Eight months later, all the other mags gave Silpheed exceptional rat¬ ings (and so did Ed), but the other three EGM reviewers didn’t agree and they only gave it 7’s. Hey Christos, isn’t that kind of like your opinion of WH vs. our Review Crew’s opinion? Was Ed wrong to see something and talk about it eight months before its time? Was it bad that his review didn’t match with the opinions of our other three reviewers? If everybody has the same opinion then there is no need to have four reviewers. I guess we will just have to “work harder” in the upcoming months. Thanks again for your opinion.) 24 Electronic Gaming Monthly WST! 1 ^ VARYING PHOTO QUALITY? I have been a reader of EGM for quite a few years and believe me, as soon as an issue is in the bookstore I am there to buy a copy. I live and breathe video games and probably have one of the largest col¬ lections of carts in our state. I have a problem with your magazine. I am done reading it the first week I have it and the next three weeks I have nothing to do. I get the other video game publications also but I usually blow through them in a day. So to occupy the rest of my time until the next issue is out, I go over your issue very, very carefully. I mean, real close. I have found all of your bad photocopy pic¬ tures and I think I even found Quarter- mann’s hidden pig! Still I have time left over and I dig deeper into your issues. There is one thing that I have noticed that pops up with constant regularity, and that is I think you have different ways of taking your pictures. Usually your Fact Files and general pictures are quite clear while those photos which are in the Next Wave, International and ‘hot, exclusive' sections are of lesser quality (I told you I read very carefully!). Why is that? Greg Starkee Nashville, TN (Ed. Looks like nothing gets by you Greg! Yep, you found out one of our deep dark secrets. We do take several different types of photos. There aren’t two types but actually if you look real close you can see three different types of photos! The first type are the ultra clear RGB frame grabs that we are able to do off of the prototype cartridges that the game companies send to our office. The equip¬ ment to do this is quite large and bulky and is not transportable. Therefore, we are limited to using it at our offices. The second type of photos are taken using the same computer equipment but rather than using video game cartridges as the source material, we use video tape footage which Ed takes when he travels around the world. We could wait until the companies send us something that is pro¬ fessionally produced (game screen slides, video prints etc.) but then we would miss that month’s deadline and end up using the same pictures that all the other maga¬ zines run the next month. Instead, we have created special portable recording equipment that allows us to tap directly into the source material. The quality is slightly less than direct RGB but very 26 Electronic Gaming Monthly good considering the conditions. The third type of photo could be classi¬ fied as a ‘spy photo’ (like the ones you see in the car magazines). These are made ‘on the fly’ with a special camcorder that Ed takes wherever he goes. The Mortal Kombat 2 arcade photos that appeared in last issue would be an exam¬ ple. The pix are of marginal quality but are adequate to show what the game is about. Usually by the next issue we have better source material and we then go back in again and cover the game in more detail. An example would be the Accolade Special Feature in this issue. None of the other mags who were there took photos. Whose coverage would you like to read?) MORE JAGUAR COVERAGE! When I opened your 52nd issue I was sure that you would have had at least one Jaguar review, but there was none. There were even 3DO previews and it isn’t avail¬ able yet, while Jaguar is already available in NY, SF and by mail order. Jaguar is the better game system and I believe that there will be more Jag owners than 3DO owners. And if the Jag has a future as good as Atari promises, it could become #3 or even #2.1 bought a Jag because Nintendo still doesn’t have its Super NES CD and it has good games (not great games but they will get better soon). As I wrote above, start writing about Jag’s games and don’t forget to change your cover to include Jaguar and 3DO. Haralds Jass Vancouver, BC Canada Atari’s new 64-Bit Jaguar roared through NY and San Francisco in November! (Ed. We also believe that the Jaguar has a great future in store for it, especially since its price is only $250. It probably will take over the #3 spot as soon as the sys¬ tems and games are available nationwide. We did not have any reviews in the November or December issues as Atari has not yet sent us a production system and finished games. As soon as this hap¬ pens, we will be doing Jag Fact Files and including Jag reviews in our Review Crew column. Previews of new games (from Ed’s visits to Atari) started in December and are now a regular feature.) itsl HI • t hJ ■ • ul 3 Ever had a revelation?

I have been reading your magazine for several years now and have never been disappointed with the way you handled the job of bringing video game news to the uninformed masses, until now. In issue 52, you addressed the new design of the NES as a useless endeavor, calling it a dinosaur, a useless waste of time, money and effort. Also with the advent of the new, more powerful sys¬ tems, the amount of NES bashing you do has multiplied. I take offense at this. Has the staff at EGM forgotten what they sin¬ gle-handedly accomplished not more than a few years ago? A stagnant video game scene, still reeling from the crash of the early ‘80s, barely held up by personal computers, and here comes Nintendo with Your mission is to draw what the infa¬ mous Cyber-Boy looks like in his native habitat. Your efforts could pay off by winning an ultra-cool joystick for the system of your choice. Get those pens and pencils going! For a hint, Cyber-Boy was pictured somewhere in issue 50. Here are some examples of the EGM Review Crew doing what they do best. Although nobody really knows what Cyber-Boy real¬ ly does in his spare time, it’s up to you to draw him in a scenario that would suit our cybernetic employ¬ ee. Be sure to include what game system you own for the prize. Lincoln Irwin Blairmore, Alberta, CAN their historic first game system. Sales of cartridges and systems skyrocket. What was once thought as a stupid fad is now deemed a hobby. The ensuing mayhem causes many magazines catering to the fans of this ever-growing phenomenon to be born or resurrected, including the pop¬ ular and excellent EGM. You guys wouldn’t have jobs today if it wasn’t for Nintendo! Now with the dawn of 32-Bit, 64-Bit, and CD-ROM technology, the poor NES is showing its age, losing ground, probably getting ready for the graveyard of obso¬ lete game systems. The problem I have is the fact that you keep on downplaying it, ridiculing it for trying to survive. This I find a kin to spitting on its grave. You should be devoting time to praising its persis¬ tence and accomplishments, not saying that because a better machine is coming along, all NES’ should be thrown out to the junkheap. The bottom line is, even though I love the Super Nintendo and will probably buy Project Reality if it ever materializes, I will never ever fail to fire up the old NES and remember when an excellent and enjoyable game didn’t have super hyper 3-D rotoscoping graphics and Q-Sound effects. Alex Gold Smithtown, NY (Ed. Since you state you are a frequent reader to the magazine for many years, you may have noticed that the number of NES games we preview and review has dropped more and more as the years went by. When Sega introduced the Genesis, people knew they were ready to dive into the world of 16-Bit games. It’s happening all over again with the advent of 32-Bit and 64-Bit systems from the likes of Commodore, Pioneer and Atari. As these systems mature, companies are starting to leave NES game production all together. The NES has had its years of success and it’s really beginning to show its age against stronger contenders. The public decides what stays and dies. Judging by sales records, we’d say the NES is on its way to its grave.)

Plenty of laughs this issue, kiddies, as yours truly exposes the truth behind the Saturn system and dives deeper into the swirling current of gossip circling around Nintendo’s latest super system announcement...For starters, Nintendo is already starting to re-evaluate the decisions behind the Silicon Graphics brains that were originally going to be placed under the hood of their Project Reality. Either that, or the Q has discovered that Sega is a lot smarter than Nintendo gives them credit for. Developers for Sega’s latest mega machine have been told that one of the first platforms that will be used for the development of Saturn software is, you guessed it boys and girls, the Silicon Graphics work station! While SGI rakes in the cash, however, game developers are scrambling to find programmer/artist types sophisticated enough to use the 100K+ machines. The Q-Mann can’t wait to see what both machines can do, but with Sega and Nintendo both trying to out-do the other in the design stages, yours truly wouldn’t be surprised if the machines never came out (although the big N would be batting 1.000 if that bit of speculation were to come true)...The Q-Mann wishes to extend a great big word of congratulations to Andy Eddy. Previously of the now defunct Video Games and Computer Entertainment, our main man has signed on for an extended tour of duty with GamePro. My hat’s off to you bud, and for all of you who have been writing in, his wife’s name is not Betty... ...Off to other shores, the Q-Mann has learned that a flood of European developers have set their sights on the U.S. as the next video game world to conquer. Quartermann is predicting here that no less than a dozen new companies, all with roots firmly planted in the U.K., will make their way across the big lake looking to spread their gaming talents on players throughout this country...Speaking of the England, the Quartermann has seen an early mock-up of the U K. version of EGM, which will hit bookstores through Merry ‘01 England in a few months. Look for my name to grace the pages if you’re on holiday...Sega's readying a new CD-based game that’s absolutely incredible! While the Q-Mann is sworn to secrecy, I can tell you that it updates an existing Sega franchise and includes some of the best graphics and music you’ll ever find in a home video game. Look into next issue for more info... ...The third wave of 3DO software that is now about 50% has a few shining stars standing out from the pack, including Tidal Wave, which has nothing to do with water, but does have some of the most unusual play mechanics the Q has ever seen. This system is long on graphics and cotton candy, but until the beefier titles start showing up, my opinion of the super system isn’t going to move much. Although Wall Street feels that the machine may be more air than reality, yours truly is willing to stick it out for the long run...Comic companies are auctioning off the rights to their games left and right. Look for TH*Q to serve up Jim Lee’s WildC.A.T.s, Sony will deliver Todd McFarlane’s Spawn, and other hot properties like Shadowhawk and Youngblood are also in development...Mortal Kombat 2 is roaring through arcades, with the hottest selection of characters, hidden play techniques and background story this Q-Mann has ever laid eyes on! Until the final version hits the streets about the time you read these words, the final characteristics of all the Kombat participants is unknown (Midway keeps changing the chips at the test sight every day)...Video games are going to the movies, with Street Fighter and Double Dragon now underway. One of the founding fathers of Lightstorm Entertainment, meanwhile, has acquired the rights to produce TV and movie versions of Mortal Kombat and Trimark will be making a movie and video game of their new title, Evolver, at the same time. The Q-Mann pulled a few strings, kiddies, so keep your eyes peeled during Evolver and you might see John Conner reading a copy of the number one name in video games... ...Both Electronic Arts and Atari are courting arcade operators and developers to create special coin-op versions of their boffo home hardware! The Q-Mann has learned that both companies are searching for ways to expand the scope of their presence in the market and also create their consumer titles while building in some arcade exposure at the same time...The big rumor of the month is that Electronic Arts is aiming for Williams in an effort to capture the license to hot titles like Mortal Kombat 2 and others. Seems the deal for Midway to move into consumer gaming has met with a snag and EA, a company best known for its home sports games, is looking for some licensing power. Acclaim is trying to bid for an extension on their agreement with Midway, but as of press time, the Q-Mann hears rumors that EA has the upper-hand...While we’re on Midway (and before we run out of room), the Q has played an early version of the company’s Judge Dredd coin-op (based on the Sly Stallone movie coming next year). Good stuff!... - QUARTERMANN The Q-Mann Top Ten will be back again next month, kiddies, so that EGM can bring you this important announcement... nrsNOTATEsn THIS IS AN EMERGENCY! and EGM IS THE PLACE TO REI THIS IS YOUR YOUR VERY OWN ...’Tis true, Quarter-Fanns, the one and only guru of gaming info has twisted the Boss’ arm to give you the ultimate contest for the readers of the ultimate game mag!

The rules are the same as all the other Sendai contests, and the decision of the judges (that’s me) is final... ...So show your stuff and get the card in today, bucko, because the Q-Mann’s only gonna wait until January 1st for the cards to get here - after that and you’re dropping quarters at the arcade! Act today and remember, void where prohibited by law, taxes are the responsibility of the winner, the decision of the judges is final (you already said that stupid), and the random drawing will be made from all entries received before January 1,1994. Got it? Good!... SUPER EMPIRE STRIKES RACK THE Q-MANN HAS USED THE FORCE TO REPORT WITH THIS SPECIAL REVIEW OF ONE OF THE HOTTEST ACTION GAMES GOING FOR THE SUPER NESI ...While yours truly has a very special place in his heart for the first installment of the ‘Super’ Star Wars saga, this follow-up to the first game takes the concepts behind the first and expands them with mixed results... ...While the scope of the game levels remain expansive, and the standard scrolling action is broken with additional play modes, extra features often muddle, rather than improve, the game play... ...Still, if you’re a Star Wars freak and into these types of action games, Super Empire doesn’t disappoint. The only real let-down is an expectation for something a little beefier than the first entry as well as a longing for the next chapter, “Return of the Jedi”, once the game ends... Q-MANN RATING: SEGA & STIMPY THE Q GOES ONE-ON-ONE WITH THE MOST UNIQUE GAMING DUET TO APPEAR SINCE PAC-MAN! * ...The latest take on the Nicktoon stars definitely does a lot to elevate the concepts behind the show into a legitimate video game contest. The mix of humor and action keeps the pace of the game ever-changing and at most times left the Q-Mann in stitches! The action isn’t overwhelming, so gamers of all ages should connect with the concepts embraced in this game.

Whether I’m happy to see one company make a great use of this movie license. I reallylike the way the game has overhe^l views and the 3-D persMptive. it’s sort of like playing Wolenslein 3-D with dinosaur^ The sound was very impressive andrmadle the game much mere ebj^yable to play. It’s an exciting game overall with cool There really isn’t much worth mentioning about this game. I tried to give i^^hance, but I just couldn’t! Fir^ of alllhe animation was not up .to par, which added to the poor game play. Second, the graphicsiare nothing to scream about. Although it’s set in the snowy mo'Sntams, jfteemed like a two-color ganjie with whites and grays. I got tired of the game very easily and gladly turned it off. Other than that, it’s just fair. As a big animation fan, I am very impressed with the work put into this game. IL^ery difficult for any company to translate a movie into an exceuM video game, but Capcom has [definitely delivered the goods with great game play, awesom e tffa pjiics and a very impressive soundtrack. The lev¬ els are long, but norendless. The humor of the film has even been added with occasional appear¬ ances from Genie. Cool game! I would have to say that this is probably the best version of all the JP games^Hie best part of the gam J is the factlhat it follows the bookW^Wian lie movie, so you’ll be able to play scenes that were taken. out oflhe film. I think the games alays* retty well. That was until I gorto play the 3-D views. I tou riel r the movement of Nice game! Superb control. It’s a little hard to get the hang of it at first, but o nce you d o, you will be all set! The graphics and sounds are really fanMjic, land the ani¬ mations are Je4 exceptional. My only grip^about tffis one is that it’s a tad on the easy side (a little too easy!). Othjfthan that, this version oWAIaddin is great! This would be a great game for the younger gamers. Good job Capcom! It was a great movie but I thought this game was a little too slow for my taste. The little pop-up info, boxes get annoying^fter a while. The graphics bre OK, but they could belbett^^The action is good, but like I’ve already said, I got a little bored with this. Although we ve; seen different versions'of this game on other platforms, this is probably the best version yet. Fans of the movie will like it. If you’re an RPG fan, then this title will appeal to you. otherwise beware! Obitus is a very slow- moving RPG that will appeal more to patient gamers. The graphics are good, but the bottom line is you must like RPGs. Chester Cheetah Keneko / Super NES The first Chester Cheetah didn't exactly set the world on fire, and this second one is just more of the same. If you are a die-hard Chester fan, then this game is for you. otherwise just don’t expect too much. T2: The Arcade Game LJN / Super NES Bang! Bang! Shoot-em-up! The big-time arcade game comes to the Super NES courtesy of the Super Scope! It is a pretty good translation, with good graphics, yet the game as a whole is just a tad on the difficult side. ED DANO AL SUSHI MIKE Mere you have a cute game that the younger ones will enjoy more. Alfred is a slow-moving game requiring more strategy than being able to run. jump and grab items! It takes a while to get in the swing of it, though. ED DANO AL SUSHI MIKE Dennis the Menace Ocean / Super NES Ah, yes—more Ocean,movie games! The graphics are excel¬ lent, but the control needs a bit of work. As a whole, though, the game is somewhat unappealing, with a main character that just doesn’t come to life. 42 Electronic Gaming Monthly Action Now Levels: N/A 8 Meg Super NES Capcom Aladdin Action Now Levels: N/A 16 Meg ■MM ■ i_ _ * ‘ NES i|hl)L+ Nintendo Of&cMl ir»l«nc o' This couldn’t wait 'til the 2T‘centurY hH$8 m'M- *•* >■ , ■ - • * • "• /•.

Now that I’ve been able to play it, Ifindthat it is a very deep and complex |ghting game. I mean, the jopiions are almost endless. While the graphics and characters don’t have the ‘sparkle’ that SF2 or MK charac¬ ters hava, nevertheless, they add to the sense of mystery in the game. Good moves, great action and decent control add up to one of the better fighting games. Dune is more addictive than it would have you believe. I spent many hour^Dlaving this cart. It may not look all ttat good, but once you try i^you’Kbe playing it for hours [This i$ one of the most fun gamesjjl’ve played for a while. Unlike m o^ra rategy games, it’s easy to learn. Even if your not into this type of game, I highly suggest it. Dune shouldn’t be passed up. I really like House Ordos, but hate the worms. Although sports aren’t my forte, this cart showed real promise. It was easytoplay, and I got a good feeling for my team. It looks very god^mough the perspec¬ tive got me switched around a few times. TJSe play controls are very well done/and this is an improvement over others of its type. If you want a good solid game of soccer, here’s a good place to look. It stands out among the other sports games. Eternal Champions, is it a decent fighting game? Yeah, does it rank up there witf^^2, and MK? It doesn't need to. It’slin a class all by itself because it’s a totally dif¬ ferent type of game. Ranked as having mordoplfons than any other fighting game Eternal will keep any player busy with all the combo moves ht offers. With the compatibility of the Activator, I think this is definitely a cart that’s well worth it. I didn’t believe that this version could match the fun factor of the PC version^butboy was I proven wrong! Dune offers strategy that has only beerraeen in games like Herzog Zwei. one of my all-time. favorites*and is extremely easy to learn to pBty | Playing as three different houses really helps the replay value as well. Strategy games don’t come along every¬ day and Dune is one of those rare catches of the season. One of the nice things about this cart is that even if you don’t have any knowledaeofsoccer you and a buddy can still pick up the con¬ troller afid have a good time without havina to wniliarize your¬ self with all tine technical aspects of the gam^ It’s not the best soc¬ cer game I’ve played but it’s not the worsjeitfrer. Decent game play, OK graphics, and cool options make this one a fun cart for anybody to play. Well, it’s a fighting game alright! With the tremendous hype this game wasgettina^specially with it being 24-Meg, I was beginning to think that SR^ight actually have a legitimat«giallenge. But, alas, I w^ let down. Graphics were not jMggreat and the voic¬ es of some oi-the characters were getting to me. The sound effects were nice, but it just wasn’t enough to pull me out of my view of the game. I would usually turn away from a game like this, but found myself playing it asiflwould never get to review] the other games. To get 1 me started there was a very easy-to-learn tutorial of the game, so I didn’t have to sit down and read a long and'boring manual. There are loads of cool vehicles and terrain you can move. The many scenarios will keep you playing for hours on end. War sim fans will totally dig this. Well, guys, I’ll tell you right now. I am not a big fan of sports games and this gamejike most of them, just didn’Mickle me the way I like it. The ploblerr I foipnd was that the playejrs on^^field were too small (even whenihey scaled toward you)*and I’d lose myself in the crowd. Weil, at least the play control was good and there were tons of playing options to config¬ ure to the player’s preference. Soccer fans should like it. I must admit, I was very disap¬ pointed with Eternal Champions. The graphicsarenot up to par, the sounds need work and the characters areirt exciting. Practically all of their moves are charge moves, which gets old after a while. With all of the hype surrounding this game, I was expecting muchj^iuch more! More time was apparently spent on background animations, than on game play. I’m not usually a big fan of games like this, but this game is pretty cool. I likeaaame that takes some brainpower to win, and Dune t^mes some time and patience to perfect. Once you start, you’re addicted! This is a very involving game. Some of the sounds get mighty repetitious after a wjiile.fDut that’s a minor complaint. Other than that, Dune offers great challenge and stay¬ ing-power! Spice is Nice! Hey a soccer game that I actually liked! Although there are better soccer gamesout there, this scores good marks in the area of playing option " number of teams to choose from,.lob of formations and fairhigood playicontrol. The only thing that I would like to have seen was bigger players on the field. When the Mode 7 effects kick in, it’s easy to lose your sense of where your player is. Not a bad game! Genesis Genesis Jaleco The Untouchables Ocean / Super NES || Love that ugly mug of William Forsythe when you lose the game! This title would have been better if it were Super Scope compatible, for it is a bit difficult to use the pad during the shooting sequences. ED DANO AL SUSHI MIKE Sky Blazer o Sony Imagesoft / Super NES § This is a pleasant little fantasy .3S, adventure that requires some technique on behalf of the main character. Cool graphics (with some Mode 7 thrown in) and S decent control, make this the one AS to get. »£ Soldiers of Fortune Spectrum Holobyte / Super NES A decent overhead-shooting game in the spirit of Technoclash and Gauntlet. Run around, blast enemies, and in huge levels too! This game may take several plays to get anywhere, but it is an enjoyable game. ED DANO AL SUSHI MIKE Young Merlin Virgin / Super NES 7 his game strikes a good middle ground between fast action and slow RPGs. The levels are huge, the control is good and the graph¬ ics are up to the Virgin par. The game is somewhat long, but there are plenty adventures in store. ED DANO AL SUSHI MIKE Incredible Crash Dummies As Flying Edge / Genesis Oh'boy! More Crash dummies! Maybe it’s just me but this whole idea isn't very appealing! This is very close to the Super NES ver¬ sion, with the typical hits that dis¬ member your player. Just love it when he ducks!

The Q has heard from reliable sources on Capitol Hill that Dan Lungren, the Attorney General of the State of California is concerned about video game violence! Nintendo is in the clear thanks to their policy of applying generous amounts of clorox to their titles, but Sega is going under the microscope because of the excessive gore that Mr. State’s Attorney says fills up the Genesis version of Mortal K. Sega’s falling back on their rat¬ ings system for some coverage, but the Quartermann has yet to hear whether or not this will satisfy the appetite of the white shirt sharks that are circling.

Sony of Japan officially announced their new 32-Bit game system, code named PS-X, last month. Here are the specs to date: Price - under $480 Available - Japan, December 1994 Main CPU - R3000A 32-Bit RISC Secondary CPUs - multiple DSPs and co-processors Software: CD-ROM only Colors -16.77 million Image Processing - 360,000 polygons/sec Sound - 44 MHz ADPCM RAM - More than 3DO Other Features: Able to compress and decompress real, full frame video ‘on the fly’ at 60 frames per second using all 16.77 million colors. SE6A OF JAPAN NOW ON CABLE! SOJ has begun test marketing a system of distributing its Mega Drive games to homes using cable TV net¬ works. Users will have access to 50 to 100 MD games which will be stored electronically in a host computer at a cable TV station. The user will have a large game receiver cart that will be able to store 16 megabits of game pro¬ gram. It will also have a battery back¬ up so RPG data can be saved. About 500 households will test the system and if it works out, Sega will be on the air in 1994. The cost will be between $19 and $29 per month. I them back interactively according to the player’s commands at a fast 30 frames per second. Like the Sony PS-X, the FX can also display 16.77 million colors. The price of the CD- ROM only system will be about $480. In a bold move, NEC announced that the FX will NOT be compatible with PC Engine or Duo software! They expect sales to be about 800,000 units by the end of 1994. 300 GUN N American Laser Games will be bring¬ ing out a new six-shooter-style light gun for the home versions of its games. Best known for the real video footage arcade shooting games, ALG plans to get a lead on the Sega CD and 3DO market with conversions of Mad Dog McCree (now), Who Shot Johnny Rock? (December); Space Pirates (spring ‘94), Mad Dog 2 the Lost Gold (spring ‘94), Crime Patrol (fall ‘94) and a live-action strategy adventure game Santa Fe Trail (fall ‘94). The FX will be able to display polygon games in over 16.7 million colors! MS a Li • . m £ NEC’s new 32-Bit game system, code named the FX will be out in Japan next year! A NEC OF JAPAN REVEALS SPECS ON NEW FX 32-BIT GAME SYSTEM! NEC’s long-awaited ‘Iron Man’ sys¬ tem has now come out from under its veil of secrecy. Now code named FX, NEC has stated that their 32-Bit sys¬ tem will be out in Japan by the end of 1994. Many of the old Iron Man specs will remain the same. The previously announced HU 62 series 32-Bit system board and LSI chip set are in the FX, and it now will be powered with their new 32-Bit V-810 RISC CPU. The FX is claimed to be capable of processing compressed digital images and playing pad is the “Tilt” option: If you hold the pad level with the ground and rotate it from side to side and back to front, it will move the character you are controlling on-screen! This func¬ tion is more success¬ ful with some types of games than it is with others. For example, shooters like Axelay that require precision movements to survive, are not the best choice for the “Tilt” function. However, behind-the-wheel racing games like Nigel Mansell’s World Championship Racing, fared incredibly well when tak¬ ing the sharp curves! Another nice feature of the pad is the actual thumb directions control which allows you to press in eight directions, instead of being constrained to the standard four directions. This allows for easier and freer movements of a character in a game. The omission of an auto-fire button is somewhat of a drawback, but the pad is an interesting attempt to insert something new to the control pad scene. The JS-306 Power Pad Tilt has turbo buttons and a new feature where movement of the pad moves on-screen characters. The JS-306 Power Pad Tilt joypad adds a uniqueness to the home gam¬ ing circuit. Actual physical movement of the pad controls your on-screen characters. The Power Pad has two settings of turbo buttons (one fast, one slow), but no auto-fire button settings. However, the unique aspect of this Nigel Mansell’s World Championship Racing works well with the Tilt. Yes! Now you can perform Ryu and Ken’s Dragon Punch with one button! Although you may never know which system this joypaxLis intended for by looking at the box, the SG Programpad 2 is in fact for the Genesis and Sega CD systems. For fighting fanatics out there, take note of this pad by STD! This joypad comes with moves already programmed into it. Such fighting games as Mortal Kombat, Fatal Fury CJJ?

This coin-op has everything you could ever want in an arcade soccer game: huge team rosters, fast and furi¬ ous game play, a great challenge level and the graphics and sounds to keep you playing for many, many hours. Don’t blink your eyes, because you may miss something! Scoring is no easy feat against the computer. Your best bet for scoring is to drive the ball methodically downfield while passing the ball to your team¬ mates. After a while, you will swear that you’re playing a human opponent who can guess your every move. This is not your little brother’s soccer game! The game itself is relatively easy to learn, but hard to master. It requires the right mix of technique. Next time you and your friends are in the local arcade, mulling over which fighting game to play, give Human Cup ‘93 Grand Striker a try. I know you’ll be glad that you did! Great play control and an enormous fun factor makes this game a blast to play. Goal! Try to work your way close to the net to set up for the finishing blow! A handy schematic of the playing field is given at the far right of the screen. The key here is to remember to play very, very aggressively! Go get ‘em! MAD SHARK by Allumer Play Mad Shark with a buddy—it really tends to make your life a little easier! Allumer’s Mad Shark is a shooter with a purpose. That purpose is to send you screaming from the arcade in a psychopathic frenzy!

Pick up new weapons like lasers and missiles to help you along the way. At the end of each mission, you will fight some Bosses that will turn your hair a lovely shade of white. They are awesome!

This Boss is a killer. Gang up on him if there’s more than one player. Capcom has a new coin-op in the works, and its tentative title is D and D Tower of Doom. The following pictures were taken under adverse conditions: 15 sliders, a Polish sausage with sauerkraut and onions and four packs of unfiltered cigarettes. Needless to say, the pictures are...urn how shall I say...a little blurry. I’m sorry, it won’t happen again and I’ll have a note from my mom next issue. Tower of Doom is an action/adven¬ ture game in the same vein as Golden Axe and Knights of the Round. D and D Tower of Doom, however, makes a radical departure from these arcade favorites. One of the really appealing elements of D and D Tower of Doom is the ability of the players to pick which direction their party wishes to go. You are pre¬ sented with different “paths” to follow, and each “path” offers new battles and things to discover. This offers the play¬ ers a new game almost every time they play! It’s a great idea that we hope to see fostered in other games. D and D Tower of Doom has some other really good aspects to it. For one thing, you can play with four people. This makes D and D a great game to play with friends! Another thing that’s exceptional about this game is its fantastic game play. Players can pick up a variety of weapons by smashing treasure chests that are scattered about. Each charac¬ ter also has the ability to use a special weapon. These special weapons are different for each character, but they are all very devastating. You’ve really got to tip your hat to Capcom. D and D Tower of Doom is going to make a lot of arcade fanatics very, very happy. Slip it a couple of shiny new quarters and enjoy the ride—it’s really worth it! Because of the non-linear nature of the cart, each game is a new adventure. You can find weapons and other items stashed in the treasure chests.

Japan has seen a lot of changes as of late. A lot of systems have been announced. The Laser- Active systems have been released, and they have a number of really cool games, but whether or not it’ll catch on is anybody’s guess. More and more games now have lit¬ tle collectable toys for them. Not just Street Fighter 2 and Fatal Fury 2,1 mean other games like wind-up Dig Dugs, Tetris action figures (imagine Tetris blocks with legs and faces), and a bunch of famous video game char¬ acters now have their own Barcode Battler cards, like Link and Mario. The most common trends in video gaming in Japan tend toward deep and involving RPGs, and detailed rac¬ ing carts, compared to our seemingly endless fighting games. Don’t you think we need a few more RPGs in the States? I do. Oh well... I’ve collected a rather large number of games for this month I think you’ll like. I managed to get a bit more on Phantasy Star, and I’ve really gotten into it. That, and Dracula X. Dracula X is simply amazing. Any Castlevania fan should want to play it. So here’s the news. Enjoy! • v' • V’ m. ' r'V • V. 1 o' ¥ 8 , . Square of Japan Alcahest Super Famicom Action Dec. 17 Wow! An action game form Square, now arguably the top Japanese maker of RPGs? Actually, not really, it’s made by Hal Laboratory, known for the GameBoy and NES Kirby, and the Super NES NCAA Basketball, all released by Nintendo. However, although essentially a top-view action game, Alcahest’s swords-and-sorcery setting and its RPG story, make it a perfect match for Square’s own efforts including Secret of Mana and Final Fantasy II. The game style is similar to that of Zelda or Soul Blazer. The player guides the sword-swinging hero Allen, on a quest to defeat hordes of evil beings. Along the way, Allen can pick up five partners including a white mage, a wizard, a knight cyborg and a guy that turns into a fiery dragon. Once these characters join Allen, any one of them can accompany him on the screen. Besides these characters, Allen must recover Guardian Blades, four sacred swords that represent fire, water, wind and earth. Using these swords, Allen can unleash devastat¬ ing magic or even Alcahest, Phantasy Star-End of Millenium, Vampire Killer Dracula X, Racket Coaster, Tetris Battle Gaiden, Astro Boy, The Great Battle Gaiden 2, No Problem Cats, Super Robot War EX, Dungeon Master 2, Metal Fangs, Formula 1 World Championship, Sengoku summon forth Guardian spirits to help in fighting. Alcahest is a great counterpart to Square’s RPGs, and it should be checked out. It looks like it’ll be hot, and with a little luck, it may even reach the States. We do need more games of this type. Giant mechanical beasts will attack without mercy. Find their weaknesses. Strike down the vile beings that stalk the fair people of the land. In the midst of the fiery lava lies a Boss who can cleave you with one swipe! mm mm mm ;-T c '-v P icture this, three of history's most ruthless and ambitious leaders all in one room.

Recently in Tokyo, a concert of music from video games was held by the Tokyo City Philharmonic Orchestra. Despite threatening weath¬ er, more than 2,000 people packed a concert hall in trendy Shibuya. The event was sponsored by eight major video game companies, including Nintendo, Square, Enix and Hudson. The concert went on for over two hours, delighting the audience with such famous selections of music from Star Fox, The Legend of Zelda, Dragon Quest V, Secret of Mana and Wizardry V. The concert was record¬ ed for a live CD to be released on December 22 from Sony. The full orchestra treatment is really unique. The concert drew large numbers of people with its wonderful music. Some of the songs were from the game Zelda. Remember those songs? Here’s some more news of that hot RPG from Sega. I played it for quite some time, and got really involved in it. The plot is intriguing, and you’ll be thrust through it at lightning speed. It seems that Leila, your partner is a bit of a mercenary. So much, in fact, that she won’t go with you without money! Soon you’ll be joined by Han Murray, an assistant at the academy, which has been overtaken by bio-monsters. When you go find the cause, you come to the shocking realization that the monsters were put there by a field research team. Now the adventurers must somehow find the researchers, and find out their motives. It’s exciting! Search the academy for the cause of all the monsters that have sprung up. An experiment gone awry is creating all the creatures you’re facing. You can pre-program a set pattern of moves so your characters can fight. This will be the first Boss you’ll face.

AN Qf^.AL PRODUCT Of THE -Ujy "JtW'JO Konami of Japan Capcom entered a great float in a parade in their home town of Osaka, Japan, it was designed to look like a fort. Atop the fort were Ryu, Chun Li, and other SF2 regulars as well as the four new Super SF2 characters. The float was surrounded by teams of dancers and guys on roller blades. The band atop the float blared out the theme song of Super SF2 over the two-mile parade route. Capcom’s strong showing was rewarded with the Most Creative Float Award by parade officials. One thing is annoying how¬ ever, considering that Capcom made millions with SF2 (the SF2 Turbo alone racked up sales of over 1.3 mil¬ lion units this year in Japan), they could have used better actors to por¬ tray the SF2 characters. (Just check out the photos to see what I mean.) Can Capcom pick’ em or what? These guys are a real eyesore. 88 Electronic Gaming Monthly Act/Adv Now ¥7800 If you ever wanted to know why a CD has more capabilities than a car¬ tridge, get this game!

Imaginatively named the Fatal Fury 2 Commander, this item is colored a chilling black with the Japanese FF2 logo proudly printed on it. The great part about the pad is that the power and super power moves of all eight selectable FF2 characters are programmed in so that they can be triggered by a single button. It can also be programmed with power moves from other games to gain a definite edge over competi¬ tors. How come there isn’t one for SF2 Turbo? Hmmmmm. On the Mega Drive side, Sega launched the cordless pad. Its six- button pad uses infra-red rays to com¬ municate with the game system, so there’s no more annoying cords.

As the name suggests, Car Marty is fully compatible with the FM Towns Marty, Fujitsu’s home multimedia system. Car Marty can therefore use a wide selection of software that cov¬ ers over 300 titles, including tons of games. It can be hooked up with a control pad, keyboard and even a mouse for running software. Car Marty can even be detached and used in the home.

This is a take-off on that classic board game. Instead of Othello’s two-color tokens (white on one side, black on the other), cute pink and blue cats are used as play¬ ing pieces. Although the rules are pretty much the same, the fact that cats are used causes all sorts of havoc. As you know, cats are very finicky and will do exactly as they wish. So sometimes, they will refuse to do as you command, or worse, wander off to join the opposing side. The cats are very unpredictable. As an added wrinkle, cats can fight for spaces.

The two heroes can summon spirits of their own, including a vicious ninja dog, a samurai knight and a ninja warrior. Although the setting and story are really bizarre, the game itself is rather straightforward. Unlike the Neo»Geo, it will only be one-player. Aw, shucks.

Lethal Enforcers Konami / Sega CD Tip for Defeating Bosses There is a simple way to defeat the end of level Bosses in Lethal Enforcers for the Sega CD. Simply aim at the Boss’s weapon for an easy victory. This still damages him, but makes it difficult for him to get off a shot. For example, the Level 1 Boss fires a shoul¬ der rocket launcher, so just shoot at the launcher. The Level 2 Boss throws knives, so aim at his hands, and so on. Keep your aim steady and reload quickly. You’ll be able to dust 'em off in a hurry.

Mortal Kombat Acclaim / Super NES Silver Coro Trick When you come to Endurance 3 in Mortal Kombat, make sure you are using Rayden.

He will stay that way only for Round 1. He will be the normal color for the second round. Richard Thomas Cleveland, Ohio Mortal Kombat Acclaim / Super NES Program Moves In Mortal Kombat for the Super NES, there is a way to (kind of) program moves for the characters. When you are fighting in the first round, just before you defeat your opponent, per¬ form the special move you would like to use for the whole next round (use a s' ecial move that uses one button). It’s the last button you press to make the trick. For example, you are Liu Kang and your opponent has a little bit of energy left. So, you decide to throw a fireball at him to defeat him. Now, in Round 2, wait for the word, “Fight” to be com¬ pletely off the screen and then press High Punch. Liu Kang will then throw a fire¬ ball with no effort. This pro¬ gramming trick works for some characters. If you do any other move, you will relieve the Program Mode.

In any case, this hot, new fight¬ ing game is already in many arcades and it’s taking off like a streamlined jet. The fatalities in the new version are incredible and there is more than one fatality per character! The question lies therein...how do you do each character’s fatalities? Anyone who has played the game for any length of time will know at least one of the fatalities for a certain char¬ acter. Do you know of any fatalities for Mortal Kombat II? Any information on this will be greatly appreciated. If you send in the methods for ar ■ fatalities (no bogus let¬ ter please), and they’re good enough to make it, you’ll get your name in print and a game for your system of choice, from the maga¬ zine of choice, EGM!

A whole bunch of cool games are coming out, and a lot more are in development or under production. The company SunSoft has announced Kung Fu—The Legend Continues. That cart is based on the show of the same name. Another game is The Death of Superman. You will be able to select from three of the “Supermen”: Superboy, the Eradicator and Steel. It’s based on the monu¬ mental comic series, and is just as action-packed. And the really big news is Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel, a sort of follow-up to their cart Aero the Acro»Bat. Who Shot Johnny Rock? is on its way to the 3DO from the people who brought you Mad Dog McCree: American Laser Games.

Gaia Fantasy Super NES Action/RPG Surprisingly, Enix is going to be releasing their action RPG Gaia Fantasy in the States. The hero, Tern, is a young boy who must use all his fighting skills, ESP, and wits to over¬ come a forbidding force of evil that is taking over the world. Unlike typical RPGs, Tern can only level up by defeating all the enemies on a map and collecting magical orbs left by the defeated monsters. In spots, he is transformed into other beings such as a powerful knight to get past certain obstacles. Like The Legend of Zelda, Gaia Fantasy requires you to solve certain riddles and puzzles. The story is really intriguing. Tern lives in a small village with his grand¬ parents who took him in after his father disappeared on a treasure hunting expedition ordered by the king. One day he is summoned by the King. On that day the King orders him to return the treasures that he does not even have. When Tern explains his situation, he is cast into a dark .dungeon cell. While despairing over his plight, Tern is visited by his Father’s spirit that tells him to go around the world’s ancient monu¬ ments and seek out mystery dolls. When the spirits disappear, Tern is visited by the Princess who sets him free on a promise that he must take her with him. She suspects something is wrong with the King, but doesn’t know what’s wrong with him. And thus begins a long and inspiring journey to all points of the globe. Gaia Fantasy is a really intense RPG. The action elements are a lot of fun, too. If you like games like Zelda, you’ll love this one. Tentative title 21 GAMES PREVIEWED!!!

LICENSED BY (Nintendo - ) smmms V* v . • Digital Pictures Night Trap Action Night Trap is considered one of the best Sega CD games, not to mention one of the most controversial games around the world. It features full- motion video that was interactive. The plot was cool, and it featured vampire¬ like beings called Augs which drained the blood from hapless girls. The play¬ er had to catch these evil beings with a number of deadly traps. The new 3DO version is a great improvement over the Sega CD ver¬ sion. Are you good enough to stop all the Augs and save the girls? The control panel has a hiqh-tech look to it. The Sega CD version shows its e and color limitations. This nice lady is seeing if that girl is ripe enough for her tastes. The Augs are still as terrifying as they were before on the Sega CD. Night Trap is still considered one of the best Sega CD games around. NIGHT TRAP DARE TO COMPARE: 3DO VS. SEGA CD Take one look at the pictures above, and you’ll see how much bet¬ ter 32-Bit looks. The 3DO version has a much bigger screen, and the setup is a little different. The full- motion video isn’t as pixelized either. So the clear cut winner definitely is the 3DO. How about a Sewer Shark? The Aug breaks in, hoping to catch a little late night snack. The people at the manor are quite strange. Some may be killers... ^ake one Corellian smuggler, a kidnapped princess, a clod-kicker from Tatooine and the last of the Jedi Knights and you have the Empire’s worst nightmare —a new hope for freedom.

Rocko’s Modern Life Super NES Puzzle Based on Nickelodeon’s new hit animated series, Rocko, comes Rocko’s Modern Life: Spunky’s Dangerous Day. This game is target¬ ed at kids 6-14 with a special empha¬ sis on puzzle solving. You must con¬ trol Rocko, a wallaby, who must keep his lovable, but not so smart dog, Spunky safe. This game is great for the kids, but older players may like its challenge as well. The graphics and bizarre scenes are directly from the popular series on Nickelodeon. This, by the way, is Viacom New Media’s first entry in the video game market. It looks to be a good one. It sort of makes you won¬ der what other Nickelodeon shows will be translated onto video game format. Rocko seems to be a good start. You’ll face some weird squids and other really nasty sea creatures.

PLAY THE MOST AWESOME TWO-ON-TWO B-BALL GAME ON 3f SYSTEMS T he first arcade game ever licensed by the National Basketball Association slams its way onto the video game scene with Acclaim’s NBA JAM. This popular quarter- muncher features 54 of the hottest players from all 27 NBA teams including: Pat Ewing, Clyde Drexler, Karl Malone and Scottie Pippen—complete with all their signature moves. There are even digitized graphics of live NBA games! It’ll soon be available for the Super NES and the Genesis with 16-Megs of slam-jammin’ power! For portable hoopsters, there will also be a Game Gear version coming out. Each version retains much of the arcade original game that made it so fun! The graphics have remained true to the arcade. Even the digitized pictures of the players are a near-perfect portrait! The voice of the sports announcer is as real as the game being programmed for the CD format. Of course, what real¬ ly made the game were the awesome plays you can do. The Turbo Feature allows the player to execute some incredible moves such as super leaps and dazzling dunks. Imagine jumping as high as three or four stories! How about doing 720° spin in the air and slamming it home, three or four flips and a two- handed jam, or a downtown slam from the three-point stripe? Only in a video game, but this is just too fun, man! 140 Electronic Gaming Monthly NOTE: Photos are color coded by system. Orange - Super NES; Purple - Genesis; Light Blue • Game Gear JAM RULES AND CONTROLS An NBA Jam game is divided into four quarters of three minutes each. A game begins with a tip- off, as two players leap for the ball in order to gain control. Possession of the ball at the beginning of the second and fourth quarter goes to the home team (team two), and to the visiting team (team one) starting the third regardless of who wins the initial tip or who possesses the ball when the previous quarter ended. The object of the game is to have outscored your opponents when the final buzzer sounds. A basket counts for two points, when it is shot from inside the three-point line. Three points are scored when shot from behind it. A defensive player can block a shot, but only when the ball is on the upward part of its arc. If it is touched by a defender on its downward flight, a goaltending call is made, and points are awarded whether or not the basket was going in. Once the ball touches the rim, however, it can be grabbed by any player, either offensive or defensive. To make identifying a ball-handler easy, whenev¬ er a player has possession of the ball, an orange basketball indicator will appear behind his name at the top of the screen. If nobody has possession— the ball is in the air or has been knocked away— there is no indicator. tl# If a player scores three baskets in a row, he’s “on fire!” During this time, he has unlimited turbo, and a much better chance of sinking shots from any¬ where on the floor! Only one player can be “on fire” at a time. Being “on fire” lasts until the next opposing basket goes in, meaning that a teammate can score without disrupting the fire. Even if the opposing team cannot score, however, your fire will eventually go out by itself. The ball glows when the player “on fire” holds it and smokes when he shoots it! Beyond these, there are very few rules to an NBA Jam session. There are no fouls—no reaching in, no hacking, not even a pushing foul—so play strong and take no prisoners! , I f SL :Cc:rf? thwle r . points PjiSHt * J i ITS POSSESSION indicator! i % i - /'* f OFFENSIVE!

There’s a new game coming to the Sega CD which could quite possibly redefine the way you look at shooters. It’s called Soul Star by Core, for Tengen, and it’s really something special.

Christine Quemard and assisted by Mary Lynn Slattery, Ubi SOFT U.S. has done quite well in marketing Jimmy Connors Tennis and F-1 Pole Position. But that’s the present and Ubi SOFT continues to look toward the future. Recognizing that there still are tons of NES systems in existence in the U.S., and fewer and fewer publishers bringing out software for it, Ubi is testing this market with a NES and GameBoy version of Madden Football (see the next two pages for detailed Fact-Files on these carts). Looking even further into the future, Ubi will expand its sports lineup to include one of the best GameBoy basketball games we have seen—Tip Off (see page 130 for a detailed preview). Rumors have it that Jimmy Connors 2 will probably hit our Two months ago we announced that the British software companies were coming to the U.S. Now they are being joined by the French! One of the newer Nintendo licensees is Ubi SOFT whose main head¬ quarters is in Paris, France. UBI SOFT?? Who are they? While rela¬ tively new here in America they are best known to us for the games Jimmy Connors Tennis and F-1 Pole Position. In France, Ubi SOFT is one of the major players. In fact, Ubi is THE biggest distrib¬ utor of video games in that country! Led by their president Yves Guillemot, Ubi’s roots date back to the early 1980s when they got their introduction to soft¬ ware by programming games for the then popular Commodore 64 and MSX machines. Shortly thereafter they expand¬ ed into the distribution end of the business when Yves and his brothers noted that software was quite a bit cheaper in Yves Guillemot, Ubi SOFT’S president heads up one of France’s largest software companies. England than in France. Starting first with a small mail order business, the staff quickly expanded to 40 people in order to keep up with the demand for games. After learning the distribution end of the busi¬ ness, it was quite easy to expand again, this time to the wholesale side. Now, as the major distributor in France, Ubi literally can pick and choose which companies they want to distribute for in France. With major players like Lucasfilm, SSI and EA, it’s no wonder that they are number one in France. Not content to rest on their laurels, Ubi continued to expand in the game develop¬ ment area. In 1989 Yves recognized that Nintendo had the potential to start another video game revolution and Ubi started to develop games for all of the Nintendo game systems. Star Wars for the Game Boy was one of their first products fol¬ lowed by Jimmy Connors Tennis and F-1 Pole Position for the Super NES. There’s even more to the Guillemot story as there is another brother. Gerard is the Managing Director of Ludi Media. Where Ubi will develop, produce and dis¬ tribute software, Ludi, a completely inde¬ pendent company, will only take a finished product from a developer in another coun¬ try and distribute it in France or Europe. And the story doesn’t end here— there are still more Guillemot brothers, but that is a whole differenLstory for another time. Having taken over the French market, Ubi, like many other European producers, moved on to greener pastures and opened up an American office in the San .Francisco bay area. Headed up by PC and video game software are developed at Ubi SOFT’S headquarters in Paris. shores next fall, hopefully with a four- player mode built in! That’s only the beginning. Christine noted that they hope to get a development team over here to produce games exclu¬ sively for the U.S. market. Indications are that besides the various Nintendo formats, Ubi is again looking to the future and to meet those goals, they have gone out and secured licenses to create Atari Jaguar and 3DO carts and CDs. Clearly the future looks bright for Ubi SOFT. With an eye for the future, Yves Guillemot has big plans for his company, and based on his past success, we believe that he will once again prosper!

Accolade has proven them¬ selves to be one of the best in the video game business. This year is looking even brighter for them! First, is the extremely exciting new announce¬ ment that Accolade is already on their way to creating the sequel to the bob¬ cat that just won't quit flappin' his mouth—Bubsy! This title will sport many new concepts and plenty of unique features to make it a sequel unparalleled with no other! The next bit of news that was revealed is that they are currently developing a new fighting game that is destined to blow all the others out of the water! Utilizing the abilities of a Silicon Graphics worksta¬ tion, and the usage of remote sensor technology to simulate actual human movements, this title is going to set the standards for all combat titles to come! Pioneering unique titles is what this company does best—as illustrated by another title that Acclaim will be pro¬ ducing. It's known as Fireteam Rogue, and is said to combine all the most popular genres of games: Action/Adventure/Flight simulation and RPG elements! The story is complex and intricate, having you sit with a band of “rogues” that are brought together by circumstances. The plot is novelistic, opening many other possibil¬ ities to comic books and other fanta- sy/sci fi products in the future! Lastly is that oldie and moldie cartoon that everyone still loves—Speed Racer! It will take its stride onto the Genesis platform straight over from the IBM PC version, and will be leaping onto the Super Nintendo platform with a completely different version! Accolade is going ballistic this X-Mas with an extremely impressive lineup! Accolade is proud to be one of the video game companies pioneering the way for advanced technical capabilities with Matrix Prime! This incredible fighting game will have a lot going on behind the scenes. First of all, the movements of the characters were based on live martial arts experts and other dexterity skilled actors. Remote sensors were placed around the actors' joints and other points on their body to record their actions in a 3-D environment. This provides the pro¬ grammers with a “render skeleton” so-to- say, where it then goes on to the next step. By utilizing the capabilities of a Silicon Graphics Workstation, the bodies of all the characters will be rendered onto the wire frames. The story behind this cart is that the government found a gene that causes genetic special abilities, and began selecting characters with that gene to make a band of superheroes. The “Good" side has Recoil, Eric Reves, Pitt Bull and Hot Shot, all of whom have their own unique story and powers. Also involved is the "Bad" side, or the superheroes that have gone bad. Those are Arsenal, Ground Zero, Banzai (a woman who is not augmented, but still a good fighter) and Shockwave. The levels will be huge in size, so that an attack can come from a distance and knock you back quite a ways! It is scheduled for a 2nd quarter ‘94 release. Using sophisticated 3-D rendering. Matrix Prime looks different and still cool! Here is a mock-up of the Character Select Scr.een. Lots of options will be present. What you see above is an actual shot of the character Ground Zero. His rotating mug will appear in the Character Select Screen, as will all of the other seven characters. 180 Electronic Gaming Monthly intricate flight simulation spaceflight sequences to name a few of the things that you will be doing. The team consists of four unique characters, each with his own abilities. One of the characters (the lead charac¬ ter, Chance) also has a I f special ancient weapon | created a long time ago [ by the Umbria empire,a I Zeut. This is a creature [ that can morph onto his j body to create a special [ suit for battling seemingly [ unstoppable foes! Each character has a plethora of weapons and skills, and all will be needed when this cool cart hits the market.

And leading the V fight is a band of outcasts infamously known as the ‘— ~ 5i5 ^ Fireteam Rogue. The game revolves heavily around the plot, of which the characters are focused on as an intricate part. This title will have the characters going through lengthy action sequences and These triceratop-like characters will try to stop your party at all costs! The halls of this particular world are well guarded. Be careful where you tread. An Elwynn who has only one family member left—her sister Broc is the most intimidating of the whole motley crew!

There are two horizontal stretches left in the level. The second to last (B) adds a new dimension to the assembly plant: the reject-smasher room. The giant smashers on the ceiling (7) will smash anything below—dash past these. Also remember not to stand below the conveyor belt when the junk is moved off (8)—it will fall on your head and do you harm. The last part is a run over pipes with rotating spikes (9). The dripping lava from the pipes is also a hazard (10). Also look out for the Mace-and- Shield guys (11). The easiest way to beat them is to wait until they throw their ball and chain, jump over it when fully extended, then shoot them at point blank range. r 7 5 ■ Ml — Wl i % H = = = = = -] Electronic Gaming Monthly 199 BOSS: BCIRNIN' NOCJMANDER Here it is—Burnin’ Noumander! Essentially, it is a big mechanized elephant. The key to its defeat is the conveyor belt in this room. Burnin’ can change the direction of it whenever it lifts its trunk in the air. However, if you are able to hit it enough times, its trunk will fall off. If you run away from it, it will catch up to you by pouncing on you from across the screen. FOREST STAGE: Tree-cutting reploids, nature gone bad and hardhat men disguised as shrubs are but a few of the many menaces in store for you here. There is also a cave where rocks fall from the ceiling. If you have the powered-up helmet, no problem. BOSS: STING CHflMELEflO Tough Boss—especially when you can see it. Here is a new dimension: a Boss that can cloak itself. Sting can camouflage itself to blend in to its surroundings, then move in close to lash you with its deadly long tongue. This Boss attacks in several ways, notably knocking spikes on you from the ceiling and shooting bigger spikes from its tail. MINE STAGE: Take a wild ride on a mine cart and / speed to the end of the stage. Beware of the giant stone drill: Just stay behind it. BOSS: ARMOR ARMAGE This is a very tough Boss—it blocks your shots with its shielded body and attacks by rolling into a ball an rolling at you. get the opportunity to get acquainted with the Mech Suit which you will need to use on the later levels. TOWER STAGE: There is a valuable special weapon hidden in this stage, so complete this one first. Here you will also BOSS: ICY PENGUIGO This is one of the easiest Bosses to defeat. Icy is big but incredibly dim- witted. For a nifty effect, use the flamethrower on it if you have one (can you say Yoga Fkame?). If you do this stage first, the best tactic is to stay in one of the top corners and wait for Icy to jump up to the ring in the ceiling: it will be an easy target for powered shots. 200 Electronic Gaming Monthly WfiTER STAGE: j Mega Men aren’t fish.

There are several dangers beneath the waters—some in particular to watch for are the giant sea serpents (which you can ride on, just avoid the spikes) and enemy submarines (which will either propel you away or suck you in). BOSS: LAUNCHER OCTOPULD This Boss uses the surroundings to its advantage. Its most popular form of attack is to constantly spin and try to suck you in. It will also try to jump on you or fire missiles and even paranahas! Its most devastating attack is when it gets a hold of you and starts squeezing your life away! Keep your distance and use charged shots. TOWER STAGE: Only one way to go in this level: up. Here you must battle your way to the top of this tower—on the inside and outside.

BOSS: BOOMER KWANGER Yes, it wears a funny hat, but don’t let it ' " hear you say that. Boomer Kwanger is one of the " hardest Bosses to defeat. It can vanish and materialize wherever it wants, and will keep you from hiding in the upper corners with its boomerang. Its deadliest move is when it spears you and smashes you against the ceiling Take this guy on later when you have several weapons. POWER | PLANT STAGE: This stage is loaded with electrical sparks, mechanical blobs and lots of lightning bugs Don’t fall in the pits: that way leads to death. AIRSTRIP STAGE: ^ Start on the 1 ground and work your way up. Ride elevated platforms and keep an eye out for items hidden behind gas tanks. Then fight on the airship. Mega Man finally goes to 16-Bit and it has been well worth the wait. I suppose the only bad aspect of this game is the diminished replay value. BOSS: SPARK MANDRILLER Spark is another tough Boss—his jumping on you alone can do terrible damage. However, there is one special weapon that will give you the edge on it. BOSS: STORM EAGLEED This Boss is really only vulnerable when it lands, so that is your time to strike. Look out, though, it can make a one-hit-wonder out of you by blowing you off the wing. Ugh!

Once on the -battlefield, there is a plethora of things to do. You begin only with a Construction Yard and a few troops. But as the game gets further, you’ll start out with more powerful tanks and Quads. Begin by placing concrete over the areas you’re going to build on to strengthen the buildings. This helps to absorb damage from enemy fire and nat¬ ural erosion from the flying sand. You can construct buildings that let you build vehi¬ cles, more troops, radar outposts, spice harvesting stations and repair facilities. The basic ingredient needed for suc¬ cess is obviously money. The only way to obtain cash is to harvest the vast amounts of spice covering the surface of Arrakis. You can have as many Harvesters and stations as you can afford, just be sure to have ample storage space or you’ll lose whatever the Harvesters bring in. The biggest threat, besides the enemy forces, are the sand- worms. These hulking beasts slither under the sand and eat whatever hapless FACT FILE DUNE: BATTLE FOR ARRAKIS # OF PLAYERS *strri i l«Ht> mhuv nu N ot since Herzog Zwei have Genesis owners been treated to a strategy -1 game quite like Dune. The story involves three houses: the noble Atreides, the sneaky Ordos and the sinis¬ ter Harkonnen. These three houses are competing to take over the planet known as Arrakis. The Emperor won’t give up Arrakis easily and will put up a fight. Basically, the game begins by choosing which house you wish to play as. Each house has their own strengths and weak¬ nesses which will be discovered on the battlefield. Speak with your Mentat often for he can give you valuable advice on unit or infantry is above it on the sand. The best part about Dune is that you can play as any of the three houses so this game has terrific replay value. If you’re looking for a challenging game that you won’t beat as soon as you buy it check out Dune. But be warned, this game is addictive. This game will keep you content for weeks. Strategy buffs don’t want to miss this one! ' THE BAD Even though the original version wasn't, this would make a great two-player simultaneous game. THE UGLY Hearing the squishy sound as your Harvester runs over enemy infantry. HARKONNEN The rule of the Atreides has always been fair and just. They are any¬ thing but soft, however. In order to protect those whom they rule, the Atreides have developed a strong military that wins by playing fair. Trickery and deception have long been the rule in House Ordos. Only when pushed to their limit will the Ordos take to open conflict. Even in combat the Ordos never aban¬ don their sneaky ways. The Harkonnen rule their territories with an iron fist. In a Harkonnen command, there is no room for weakness. There is never an excuse for failure. The Harkonnen always choose to fight. 226 Electronic Gaming Monthly —"I *f ill* »*• » » « v • * rmii v»(i| «• 6N Tt 4 'fi. • v £ VIRGIN 1 DIFFICULTY AVAILABLE HARD 1ST QTR. *94 CARTRIDGE SIZE NUMBER OF LEVELS G MEG N/A THEME % COMPLETE STRATEGY 100% I I i oO,m □ mb m. z QUID .The Ordos’ sneaky ways give them an advantage with spe¬ cialized weaponry.

Mastering what each of your combat units can is hard enough, but what about the land you’re about to fight on? A constant threat to your equipment are the sand- worms. The beasts will gladly gobble up every machine that sits on the sand. Naturally, the type of terrain around also affects your performance.

They are now entering the Genesis plat¬ form with their Warner cartoon-to-game with the antics of Sylvester and Tweety, and have they got it right. The animation is fantastic—having you do all the comical things that Sylvester does to get Tweety. Some examples are: stacking things up so that you can reach Tweety, hiding in lampshades, and dodging all other kinds of pests. The sounds are great and the music actually interweaves with what Sylvester does. An example of this would be when he goes up a flight of stairs—the music does a melody of rising notes, just like the cartoon! There are plenty of items to get, and the unique game play will really catch your atten¬ tion—having you chase Tweety all around the level back and forth into differ¬ ent areas until he reaches a point where you can finally nab him. This (plus all the clever little animations, gags and interac¬ tive music that have been thrown in) will make the title soar high above all the other cartoon-to-cartridges made. Use the binoculars to locate where Tweety is hiding out. A mallet a day keeps the robotic canine away! tr= <§5> S ® s Hide in objects to avoid enemies.

HEART: This icon will restore some of Mowgli’s life meter, which comes in handy in some levels. Virgin delivers another great translation game from the Sega Genesis to the Game Gear. BOOMERANG: This is a great weapon for Mowgli to use, for it will register two hits on your enemies. DIAMOND: Throughout Mowgli's quest, grab all of the diamonds that appear on each level. The game play takes some time to get used to, which can make the game a little frustrating. MOWGLI’S FACE: Grab Mowgli’s face to gain a free guy. This is one of the hardest icons to find. FIGLEAF: The only way Mowgli can continue in the game is by grabbing the figleaf icon. Seeing how long the Lizard’s tongue is makes me wonder if he can get dates easily. 280 Electronic Gaming Monthly rv TFT LLV LAI _aJ_ A . i ' 1 ■ . . [HE GREAT TREE Mowgli comes across The Great Tree, where he has to work his way up by climbing vines and jumping on springs, while trying to collect all eight of the diamonds in this level. Along the way, Mowgli will have to overcome monkeys and snakes as he battles his way to the top of the tree where Kaa, the Snake Boss, is waiting to fight him. 1-8 Shows you the location of all eight diamonds on the map. SOME TREE SKILL YOU SHOULD KNOW 1) Use the springs to reach high places which you can’t reach by jumping. 2) Jump on the lizard’s tongue as another method of reaching high places in the tree. 3) There are several monkeys and snakes in this level that camouflage themselves by hiding in the leaves of the tree, making it hard for you to attack them. - ' V’ ■S - 's ers.

HEART Restores health points REDX Restores mutant power BLUE X Bonus Power-up Q rofessor X receives a call stating that the Juggernaut is at the Hoover Dam. Wolverine and Cyclops are sent to check it out. The rest of the X-Men are on their own missions trying to repeal other threats to the world. But, the dam was just a ruse to lure them away, while the others were captured. Now you must save your friends. Based on the immensely popular comic and now TV series, this has the typical side-scrolling action theme with the X-Men twist. It’s along the same lines as the Genesis version released a while back, but with different X-Men. The cool story combined with the awesome X-Men and great looking cinemas make this game a blast! THE BAD The levels are really big, which makes finding the end a little frustrating. The way both you and your enemies blink when you are hit—it can really get on your nerves. 284 Electronic Gaming Monthly /•Men and ail other Marvel characters and their distinctive likeness thereof are trademarks'/ Marvel Entertainment* Group.

In this maze, it is your job (as one of the X-Men) to figure out where the Boss is hiding out. But that’s the easy part. The hard part is finding out which elevators you will have to take to get there. Here’s a helpful little tip: This is a partial map of the Hellfire Club level. The whole level is at least three times this size. To find the Boss, follow these steps: Start the le\/el at the lower right-hand side of the map, go left until you reach the last eleva¬ tor door marked as number one. This door will take you to the next level. Go right until you reach the door marked number two. This will take you up one level. Go left to the door marked number three. After you are on the next level, take the door marked number four. When you take this last door, you’ll be at the top of the club. Follow the platforms that are all around you up and to the right. When you can’t go right any more, start to go down. You’ll find the Boss almost at the very bottom! Electronic Gaming Monthly 285 P ortable fans can now take pinball ] wherever they go. Three classic¬ al style pinball games are available on this new cart. The Ignition Level has a rocket theme with targets like the sun-run and ignition. The Graveyard gives off a spooky feeling with the R.I.P and D.I.E targets. The theme here is to shoot for the side traps. On the Steel Wheel Level, you have one high and one low trap that each earn big points. All the features you'd expect are here including: extra ball, bonus hold, jackpots, score multipli¬ ers and even tilt. This is portable fun for those who can’t get enough pinball. Um...er... well it's a portable pinball game with three levels. That's all I can say. MANUFACTURER • # OF PLAYERS DIFFICULTY The levels are small and could use a bit more complexity in the way of obstacles. The little bat or ghoul guy on the center of the Graveyard scene.

The answer appears to be Rob Liefeld, who, in con¬ junction with newly formed J 11 / I *• •in¬ animation company Roustabout Productions, is readying his Youngblood characters for an animated series. Nick Dubois, creative director and co-founder of Roustabout along with Alan Zegler and Victor Dal Chele, said his team is elated to be working with Liefeld. “We’d like to emulate the creator-owned concept that Rob and Image popu¬ larized in the comic indus¬ try,” Dubois stated, “Our animation pro¬ jects will not be influenced by non- creative manage¬ ment.” Although Liefeld will be personally involved throughout develop¬ ment of the series, he appreciates the ideals that Roustabout is striving for. “This is a comfortable fit for me,” Liefeld said. “I relate to these guys as artists. What they’re doing in animation is exactly what we did at Image in breaking from the corporate structure. They’re very familiar with the Youngblood characters and are excited about mak- / ing this the event of the ) ‘94/’95 sea¬ son. The series will somewhat resemble the stylistic Batman: The Animated Series , but will not be as dark and dreary. “We want to make the Youngblood series light both literally and figuratively by using brighter colors and tongue-in- cheek humor. Kind of like the first Die Hard movie or the first Superman film,” Dubois revealed.

H ERO’S new offshoot magazine, CARDS ILLUSTRATED , ^ debuts this month amidst considerable fanfare from the non-sports card market. CARDS ILLUSTRATED takes a look at the bur¬ geoning market-which has grown from an estimated $75 million in annual rev¬ enues just four years ago to some $300 million today. “Ten years ago, there were maybe 25 to 30 non¬ sports card releases in a single year,” says CARDS Editor Don Butler. “In 1993, we’ll see almost 200 new releases.” “Much of the growth is coming from the comic- card market,” he said. “About a year and a half ago, card manufacturers realized that a healthy por¬ tion of their sales were coming from comics spe¬ cialty shops, so they began making sets geared toward those comics buyers.” The result, he says, is an influx of 20-40 comic-card products a year. The entire “entertainment card” market is also going through some big changes, as major compa¬ nies such as Topps and SkyBox-which two years ago had geared most of their new product releases toward sports cards-now plan anywhere from 15 to 22 non¬ sports card lines for 1994, includ¬ ing such items as Batman card lines, a reprint of the classic Mars / Attacks! set, and / several movie-relat- / L ed sets (Topps will Wk’l release a set on The Shadow, a $40 mil- f % lion movie starring L Alec Baldwin, this spring). tM \ More product fj^ and diversified product has so far I meant increased / sales and more / interest, but / f A Butler warns ^ that many com- / i panies are rais- / | ing the price of la a pack of cards / to $1.49 or more, and many buyers used to getting eight cards for under a buck are walk¬ ing away from the new higher-priced cards. “One thing we’ve heard time and time again is that card collectors don’t neces¬ sarily want a better-quality card in terms of produc¬ tion,” Butler warns. “They don’t want the high-quality stock and UV coating if it means they have to pay an additional 50 cents or more per pack. “Collectors are more than happy with a series of cards that won’t force them into bankruptcy when they buy packs to put together a set,” Butler concluded.
