Perhaps you guys at the magazine don’t care as you get everything for free, but we normal players have to shell out $60+ every time we want to play a game. Yeah, we rent games to save some money, but the games we want to spend some time with are usually the ones that cost big bucks. Now with special chips like Nintendo’s SFX and Sega’s SVP being included in games, I picture carts topping the $100 mark. Do the compa¬ nies realize that we just can’t continue to pay that kind of money for our games? Greg Danton Mobile, AL (Ed. You bring up a very good point, Greg and we at EGM have been hound¬ ing the manufacturers about the high price of games for some time now. There is good news and bad news, though. First the bad news. Nintendo has not made great inroads to lowering the prices of their FX chip games. While they are absorbing the costs of the FX chips in the games they do themselves, the third-party licensees who want to bring out FX chip games are either forced to go to 4-Meg carts or charge a lot of money to make up the FX chip cost. Because of Sega, Nintendo may have to rethink its FX chip game plan! The good news is that Sega has seen how players want good games at a rea¬ sonable price and they have gone out and created a special modular cartridge which will house their SVP chip. It will be a one-time purchase and cost $40. Expect it to appear in June. And this is only the beginning. Sega has some very interesting ideas that will drastically reduce the cost of games. Unfortunately Sega swore us to secrecy as to how or what games this new tech¬ nology will appear in. But rest assured that not only will Sega introduce some¬ thing very special in the next few months, it should send Nintendo back to the drawing boards as to how THEY do games. More next month!) WIN 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. 300 SYSTEM DOWN TO $500! I resisted the temptation to go out and buy a 3DO system last Christmas because I felt that it was just too expen¬ sive. Also, the games out at that time didn’t look all too impressive. Now it’s a different story. Discs like Madden 3DO and Super Wing Commander have gotten me interested again. There have been rumors that the price may come down in September when the new shopping sea¬ son starts. Is that true? Daniel White Sarasota, FL The 3DO system price has been reduced to $500 and could hit $400 by fall! (Ed. You must be psychic Dan. Just a couple of days ago Panasonic of American announced that they immedi¬ ately are reducing the price of the 3DO to $500. Why now? The real story comes from Japan. Rumor has it that the price reduction came directly from Mr. Youichi Morishita (president of Matsushita) him¬ self, as Japan wants to intro the unit at a competitive price and $700 was just too much. Much of this cost reduction can be attributed to chip integration, parts cost reduction, and increased factory efficien¬ cies. 3DO expects "... manufacturing costs to decline an additional 20 percent ($100) or more this fall." So Dan, grab a system for $500 now or wait another six months for a $400 system.) 18 Electronic Gaming Monthly © 1994 CAPCOM. CAPCOM is a registered trademark of CAPCOM Co., Ltd. GIMME THOSE TUNES One day I was watching TV and one of those “MORTAL KOMBATM!" commercials came on. At the end of it I briefly caught sight of a message in the corner of the screen that said something about a Mortal Kombat music CD that was out now or something like that. Am I reading this right? What’s this all about? If it’s true, how much does it cost and where can I find it? Andrew Clequin Nanaimo, B.C., Canada Mortal Kombat fans into rave/techno music should check out the Mortal Kombat CD! (Ed. The CD is for real, Andrew. On the disc are five songs performed by The Immortals. It’s released by Vernon Yard Recordings (V25H-38419) and if you’re into rave/techno music, you’ll find this CD to your liking. There are five songs on the disc, each having a slightly different flair to them. The disc can be picked up at most music stores with a price between $14.95 and $17.95, depending on which store you happen to visit. If you’re a Mortal Kombat nut who must have every piece of MK merchandise, it’s definitely worth a listen.) mu A new feature to EGM is the official Bad Photocopy Contest. You’ll find this contest in every Interface issue. What we did was photocopy a part of the magazine, blew it up, oh, 800 % and it’s up to you to find it some¬ where in the magazine. You don’t win anything, but you can congratulate yourself if you find it! IMjiMi EP HE IMCM 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! This letter contains important information. I have solved the case of why postmen are killing their peers. It’s because of your magazine. It all started when a bored, underpaid mailman picked up my issue of EGM and read it. Obviously he got hooked because it’s the best magazine. Well, pretty soon I stopped getting EGM. I was disappointed and puz¬ zled. Two months later I got your card saying it’s time to renew. That’s when the killings started. My theory is that the mailman, you know, the under¬ paid one, didn’t have my magazine to steal so he was depressed and started killing people. Well, I renewed and now my magazine is being vandal¬ ized by the post office to get even. So I am asking you, from the bottom of my heart to please put your magazine in a handy-dandy plastic baggy. My congrats to your mag. I will have my revenge. Now I’m in the witness protection program and can’t leave my real name. *r **. a, •' «■" 'AhMyL*.

HOOK ME UP I went out and bought Lethal Enforcers for the Sega CD after seeing it while strolling through the mall. I brought it home, opened the box and checked out the gun. Aside from the strange blue color of the gun, why is there a phone jack on the bottom the handle? What the heck is it used for? Could a modem hook-up be the answer? A multi-player hook up where everyone shoots at each other would be pretty cool. So how about it? James Caldon Miami Beach, FL Lethal Enforcers allows two people to play with the addition of another gun. Here it is! Attempt to find this picture in the magazine, if you dare! (Ed. Hey, don't you guys read the instruc¬ tion material that comes packed with the game? There’s a little pamphlet in there with an order form to purchase the second player gun. That’s what the phone jack is used for. There’s a plug on the pink Justifier—the one you order for $11.95 from Konami—and it plugs into the jack on the blue gun so two players can play. We’ve gotten tons of mail with this ques¬ tion, so I guess gamers would rather jump right into the game rather than read through literature for a couple minutes.) 20 Electronic Gaming Monthly This official seal is your assurance that this product meets the highest quality standards of Sega™ Buy games and accessories with this seal to be sure that they are compatible with the Sega CD™ System.

It s part of the 1 game, so naturally it's in ours AMIGA CD IS THE CHOICE The last six months have been a roller coaster ride for me. All these new sys¬ tems are driving me crazy. First, I was going to get a Sega CD but that system already looks obsolete. I was also thinking about getting a 3DO but it’s way too expensive and its future seems uncertain. The Jaguar looks cool, but it doesn’t have enough third-party licensees making games. I was thinking about waiting for Nintendo’s Project Reality but I don’t know if it’s ever going to materialize. Then it hit me, the Amiga CD 32 .1 really didn’t take this system seriously at first but just recently read that six new games are due to be released for it. These games were OLD GAMES FOUND! RADU SHACK NOW OFTBVJG ADW MB In response to the letter in the January issue on finding old video games, Radio Shack now offers a viable alternative to hunting down long lost titles. Fort Worth, Texas—Radio Shack is now offering re-releases of more than 50 of the most popular Atari Video Games, includ¬ ing such classics as Pac-Man, Pole Position, Centipede and Donkey Kong. Owners of Atari Series 2600 or 7800 video game players may purchase the titles at nearly 6,600 participating Radio Shack stores and dealers nationwide through an “Express Order” program. The Express Order service allows cus¬ tomers to order the video games at local Radio Shack stores. Prepaid orders are delivered directly to the customer’s home within seven to ten days. “Radio Shack’s decision to offer these titles is in response to parents’ concerns about the proliferation of violent video games in today’s marketplace,” said Radio Shack President Len Roberts. “A whole new generation of game players can now experience some of the most exciting, non-violent video games ever created.” “The Atari titles sell for $9.99 plus a small charge for home delivery. Replacement joysticks and other acces¬ sories for Atari systems are also available through Radio Shack Express Order. After speaking with a representative from Radio Shack, he informed us that the boxes, game carts and manuals are all original and are not old cartridges with new cases and boxes. _ awesome, but I don’t want to invest in the Amiga CD 32 if its future isn’t very bright. So here are some questions: How many third-party licensees does it have? What is the price of the system? How does the future of this system look? Can you give it more coverage? Keith Dougherty Long Beach, CA games that will be out with the system. (Ed. The Amiga CD 32 is definitely shaping up to be a worthy contender in these heat¬ ed system wars. To answer your first question, there are a whopping 151 prod¬ uct licensees that produce games, acces¬ sories and other doo-dads for the popular Amiga line of computers and now, the Amiga CD 32 . See if you recognize some of these names; Millennium, Gametek UK, Core Designs, U.S. Gold, Commodore, Domark, Gremlin Graphics, Electronic Arts, Mindscape, Interplay, Ocean, Probe Software and Virgin Games. Sound famil¬ iar, eh? According to a price schedule from Commodore, the Amiga CD 32 will retail for $399.99 and will be packed with two titles: Pinball Fantasies and Sleepwalker. How does the future look for the Amiga CD 32 ? Well, since the success of any video game system depends on the software developers and the con¬ sumers, it’s really up to the consumers to find interest in the system since the devel¬ opers are there in abundance. Of course we'll give it more coverage. Since the sys¬ tem is supposed to go on sale in late February or early March, there will plenty of games available to coincide with the launch. These titles should include Defender of the Crown II, Zool, D/Generation, Nigel Mansell, Trolls and James Pond II with games like Total Carnage, Dennis the Menace, Dangerous Streets, Jurassic Park and Microcosm to be released at later dates. You’ll be able to see these and other games in our pre¬ view pages or as full-blown Fact Files. While the first batch of games are mostly Amiga computer games with CD tunes, there will be many more Amiga CD 32 games being developed to use the power of the CD to its fullest.)

What I’m talking about are companies that bring out a game on one system, such as the Genesis, and then port it over to the Super NES. I understand that these com¬ panies are catering to the people who don’t own all the systems, and that may be good. But what really bothers me is when these companies just put the game on another system and not make any improvements or noticeable changes. I mean, hey, everyone knows the Super NES has better music. So when porting a Genesis game over, how about enhancing the music a bit? I won’t mention names but there’s one that really sticks in my mind. In EGM #55,1 saw a Fact File on Get your pens and pencils ready! The next cool assignment is to draw the Review Crew characters in a typical day at our offices. Originality is the key here so get creative. Below are the winners of the ‘Draw CyberBoy’ contest. Stay tuned for more upcoming contests. Oshawa, Ontario, Canada Jason Cogan Station, PA the Genesis version of Mega Turrican and this problem jumped into my mind. Is Mega Turrican going to be any different from the Super NES version that was called Super Turrican? I own the Super NES version and really enjoy it and if Mega Turrican offers something different, I may buy that one too. Barry Takashi San Francisco, CA There are some new features in Mega Turrican like this Plasma Rope. (Ed. We understand your dilemma, Barry, and from the looks of it, so does Data East. Mega Turrican does offer new fea¬ tures that weren’t found in Super Turrican. Although the character is still the same, he now has a Plasma Rope that can stick to ledges and walls for added technique. Reportedly, there is a secret level to the game as well! The amount of weaponry is smaller and the Lightning Attack is miss¬ ing on Mega Turrican, but there are two new weapons to be found. Some of the levels may look the same as the Super NES version but the layouts of the play forms and power-ups are different as well. As you can see, not all companies believe in the policy of cookie-cutter gaming.) MADDENS ARE EVERYWHERE! Eeek! The Maddens are coming! Seriously though, this publicity shot at a sports stadium shows EA Sports’ humor¬ ous side. How they got these people to wear Madden masks is beyond us, but it sure looked like fun.

Capcom and Slammasi Ini F mm 1 l;1 I MORE WRESTLING 6AMES! I am a big fan of wrestling and wrestling games. I used to own a NES and I had every single wrestling game that you can think of. I am now the proud owner of a Super NES and Genesis. I have WWF Royal Rumble for the Super NES and it’s a pretty good game, but it lacks a big vari¬ ety of moves like the ones you find on the NES’s wrestling games. Every wrestler has the exact same moves with the exception of their trademark moves. I would like to know why a two or three Meg wrestling game, like the ones for the NES, have a bigger variety of moves than a 16-Meg game for the Super NES? Capcom made Saturday Night Slam Masters, Sega with Wrestle War, Taito with TWA and Technos with Wrestlefest. I read that FCI was making WCW Super Brawl for the Genesis and Super NES but I haven’t read anything about the game for the past few months. Will you be able to give us more information about this game in future issues as well as other companies making wrestling games for home systems? Alex Nieves Hamden, CT Both FCI and Natsume are ready to deliver new wrestling titles for the Super NES. (Ed. Wrestling games really seem to have caught on with players in the past few years. In addition to the games you already mentioned, Natsume will be releasing their own wrestling title to be called Natsume Championship Wrestling and it’s for the Super NES. Unfortunately, the Winter CES didn’t uncover any new Genesis wrestling games. Naturally we’ll keep everyone updated to new games in the Next Wave section so stay tuned to see what new titles may pop up. In refer¬ ence to your question about the amount of moves in some games, that totally depends upon the programmers of the games themselves.) lerry unui Vancouver, B.C., Canada What do you get when you cross a Michelangelo with a Mario?

PLANET HORPH: On this planet of oozing, form-changing aliens enemies come mail If you are willing to pay for it, the Laseractive has a 3-D system. another ¥5,000 ($45). Using these gog¬ gles, the special 3-D images in 3-D Museum can be witnessed in breath¬ taking color and realism. The goggles can also be used for seeing 3-D images from random dot and stereo scope illustrations—which should be a relief to people who have only gotten headaches from staring cross-eyed unsuccessfully at 3-D images. When contacted, Pioneer of America confirmed that they will be bringing out the LaserActive 3-D glasses in the United States. A price, specific release date, or which games will come out for the 3-D glasses haven’t been deter¬ mined yet. 3-D Museum is one of the few titles utilizing the 3-D Glasses. It works well. PROJECT REALITY... SOON? Everyone has been wondering about Nintendo’s powerhouse Project Reality; if and when it will come out. Our Head Ed decided to go straight to the horse’s mouth and get the news directly from Nintendo. According to Nintendo, several titles are already in the works. And although development systems have yet to go out to licensees, Project Reality is based upon a Cl architecture, to allow programmers to hop right into produc¬ tion. And one big question is whether or not there will be a CD-ROM. EGM found some of the answers to the most common Project Reality questions. Unexpectedly, Nintendo officials have stated that Project Reality will be a $250 cartridge-only medium, but there will be an expansion port in the system which will allow PR to connect to a future CD-ROM machine when CD- ROM technology is a viable medium. Nintendo wants to create virtual worlds for the player rather than limit them¬ selves with footage from recorded video, which is what current CD-ROM games are limited to. Nintendo feels that such a restriction would not be cost effective for the con¬ sumer or themselves. What’s the point of a CD system if you can’t deliver the type of games you’d like to? The price is also on everyone’s mind. Nintendo expects the price to be kept low, because of the efficient chip con¬ figurations, and the fact that there is no need for a thousand dollar drive sys¬ tem or other things needed for use of the industrial SGI machines. Nintendo feels that sound is a key part of the gaming experience. While Project Reality only has stereo sound, expansion ports leave doors open to features like Dolby Surround, SR5, and other 3-D sound systems. The arcade format of Project Reality will come out this year, and a refined home version will appear next year. Nintendo is serious about this one. Pioneer will be releasing a new Laseractive title called 3-D Museum for both Mega LD (February) and LD- ROM2 (March) systems. This soft is a collection of 3-D images, some requir¬ ing the viewer to stare cross-eyed at the screen and others requiring the use of special glasses (the cheap kind with tinted cellophane lenses). There are also others for which special (expen¬ sive) goggles with high speed LCD shutters are necessary. The special goggles will be available concurrently with 3-D Museum. The goggles alone cost ¥10,000 ($95). Furthermore, they require an adapter— J |r n r r r t a i n m r n r s y st [m\ .... , SJL f El r i:(n «».. iy^w - ! :fk : f J .. .i „_ f -H ' •— 2:: f| ; " " 5 : : ." fe.J ! :v,i P;^ Action Game* features a tin man knight taking on many strange enemies.

Just think: 50 games a month to play to your heart’s content. You’ll get to preview soon-to-be-released titles, there will be game tips, sega news, contests, and promotions. Plus, there will be titles made just for the Sega Channel! Just use the on-screen menus to pick your favorite game genre, and choose your game from there. After a brief wait, your game will be downloaded to you. And while you’re waiting, you’ll get the news on the latest Sega products. The Sega Channel simply requires two, 2 MHz non-contiguous channels to deliver programming. We were able to get a sneak preview at what the Sega Channel was all about. The menus were loaded with games, and we were ready. It seems like the Sega Channel will be a hit. SATURN IS ■:n;i« It appears that the Saturn is closer than ever to being released. At the Las Vegas CES we were able to catch a glimpse of some of the Saturn games that are under development. These games, while still early, boasted unbe¬ lievable texture mapping and heavy- duty polygons. The shading on some of these has to be seen to be believed. Once you look at the stats of this mega-machine, you will get a good idea of the power it boasts. Two 32-Bit RISC chips newly developed by Hitachi are used as central CPUs. The chip’s official name is SH7604. Specs: 25 MIPS, (at 28.7 MHz), 4 Kbyte cache memory, 32-Bit DSP processing,and over 450,000 transistors. Suited for 3-D computations, Saturn’s architecture enables the processing of 900,000 polygons per second. Seven other graphic and audio processors are also used. Through simultaneous parallel processing by all nine processors, performance is claimed to reach 800 MIPS. Saturn’s performance is said to reach 64-Bit levels. Saturn features the first synchronous DRAM for a home system. This DRAM was developed for high performance work stations and enables faster access than conventional RAM. A total 36 megabits (4.5 MB) of this RAM are used for sound, CD-ROM buffer, etc. Saturn shows great potential as a mul¬ timedia machine. The CD drive is double speed for faster access and transfer. It is con¬ trolled by its own RISC CPU (Hitachi SHI 16 MIPS RISC chip) for more speed enhancement. An optional device for viewing video CDs (MPEG compression) is also in consideration. In mid-February, Sega will be holding meetings with approx. 100 invited soft¬ ware developers. Sega is said to be assembling new teams for develop¬ ment and sales. Aggressive user- oriented promotions are planned. Welcome to the next level, Sega. mm and runner-up in Mot /AW/ief-p JtiU THE SUPER ■ lli'KM Taking advantage of the popular wave of multi-player games, Bullet Proof Software is introducing their Super Link for the Super Nintendo. This item will function like the tap cur¬ rently available from Hudson Soft. The Super Link is a little bit larger than a cassette tape, and it contains four ports for your controllers. Its relatively small size makes it less clunky than the other, bigger multi-player adapters. The Super Link is compatible with all the multi-player games, such as NBA Jam, Barkley: Shut up & Jam, World Cup Striker, The Peace Keepers, Fire Striker, EA Soccer, Madden NFL ‘94, Bill Walsh Football, NHL Hockey, and a lot more. So if you’re interested in play¬ ing your games with a bunch of your friends, you might consider the Super Link. Bullet Proof Software’s Super Link adapter is great for multi-player games. Way back in issue #50, we showed you a nifty item called the Mega Jet in the International section (page 80). The Mega Jet was a sort-of-portable Mega Drive that was connected to the planes of Japan Airlines (JAL). You could rent the games for the duration of the flight or bring your own. Now, Sega of Japan has announced that they are releasing it to the public on March 10, to the tune of ¥15,000 ($130). It will come with a mono DIN plug cord (3.5 meters, a stereo DIN plug cord is available separately) and an AC Adapter. The game slot is on top of the system, and it has six but¬ tons for control. This portable Mega Drive does not have its own screen, nor is it compatible to the Mega CD, MCD2, Mega Modem, or the cordless pads. It's a smaller form of the classic Mega Drive design, similar in function to the CD-X, but this system has no CD-ROM, or the ability to accept one. So why would anyone want to have one of these gadgets anyway? Well, it takes up far less space than The new TV Tuner for the Game Gear might reach the States. the older Mega Drive system, and if you have a TV in your car (like some of the latest models offer) you can plug the power supply into the cigarette lighter and play your games on the go. It should be noted, however, that although the MJ is a hand-held unit, it does not and cannot run on batteries. With the CD-X coming out, it seems highly unlikely that the Mega Jet will ever surface in our part of the world. Overall, it looks cool. If you’re a gad¬ get junky and must own every system, here’s a knick-knack for your collection. ME6A JET mm TAITO AND NINJAWARRIORS ARE TRADEMARKS OF TAITO CORPORATION. ©1994 TAITO CORPORATION.

Here for the first time anywhere are pictures and moves from Capcom's upcoming Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo! Get ready to rumble street fight¬ ers, this one looks to be Capcom’s best ever!! As the name of the game implies, Super SF 2 Turbo is substantially faster than its predecessor. Capcom has obviously heard the beleaguered cries of the players who liked the speed of the earlier SF 2 Turbo. The speed increase is, once again, immedi¬ ately noticeable. Hoo-Boy!! Ken now has a mid-air throw! This is a deadly move for poor Ryu! Also of note is the new moves that each of the World Warriors now pos¬ sess. Each character has an average of three or more new attacks which include a new technique known as the “Super Combo.” To use the Super Combo, you must rely on a small meter located at the bottom of the screen. After using various attacks, the meter will begin to fill up. Some moves will make the meter charge faster than oth¬ ers. Once the meter is filled, the word “Super” will flash, signaling you to use the Super Combo that your character possesses. Each character’s Super Combo uses a specific Jovstick/Button combination that the player must exe¬ cute. The results of these combos are devastating! Finally, there is supposedly a new super-character who is now the end- boss of the game! Yes, that’s right, it could be the fabled “Grand Master!” The game is still in the preliminary stages, but from what we’ve seen, it looks to be a real knockout!! Special thanks goes out to Michael Borg, Manager of Super Just Games in Northbrook, Illinois for all his help! Thanks for the pizza, guys ! To knock his opponents out of the air, Dhalsim now has a high Yoga Fire! Defeat an opponent with a sure-kill move, and a flash of light appears!

As you probably will recall, we pre¬ viewed Capcom’s D&D Tower of Doom back in EGM #54. Now with the game’s Impending release, we talked to the game’s prime developer, Alex Jimenez. Alex, who has been a role playing mavin tor the past 19+ years, is extremely proud of D&D Tower of Doom. “It’s the first fully authorized role-playing video game anywhere."

First off, I’ve got you some really good info on the eminent release of Matsushita’s (Panasonic) 3DO REAL player in Japan. The system should be out by the time you read this. It will not have a pack-in game with it, which is surprising. I’ve got some info on Japanese releases as well. Some familiar names include Ultraman and Wacky Races. I also got to see a show put on by Square Soft. It was there that they showed their latest games like Final Fantasy 1 & 2, which is a remake of the first two Famicom carts on one 8-Bit cart. They also had Final Fantasy VI on display, and were wow¬ ing audiences. They also had the soundtrack of the new characters. I also attended a show by artist Akira Toriyama, the guy who created Dragon Ball Z. There were lots of nice knick-knacks for fans of the manga and anime. There’s a few less sidebars this issue, but I thought you’d like to see more games. Once again, I hope you like what I’ve dug up. None of this was easy. Enjoy!

While it has yet to see the light of day in the States, Sega of America said they would be bringing out Streets of Rage 3 at the Summer CES. The four warriors—Axel, Blaze, Sammy, and Zan—each have a whole slew of moves, not to mention the ultra-cool combo moves that involve a second player. For example, Axel has got a Dragon Smash, and the Grand Upper. All the moves are really impressive, involving lots of anima¬ tion. Bare Knuckle 3 has multiple plot lines, and different endings depending on who you are, and where you go. There’s also a two-player mode where two players can go up against each other. They can even be the same player. Bare Knuckle 3 is one of the best side-scrolling fighting carts of all time. Hopefully it won’t be too long before we are playing it on these shores. Think you can handle it? This neon Boss has an electrifying effect on everyone he meets. You can fight it out in a two-player versus mode. Be the same fighter! You’ll be forced to take on entire armies of roving thugs and hoodlums. AXEL Axel, the star of the first two games, returns in this awesome sequel. BLAZE Blaze also returns, and she’s more power¬ ful than ever with lots of great moves! SAMMY Sammy is a bit older now since his debut In part 2. He still has those skates, though.

When one player manages to connect with a power move, like a back drop, the close-up expands to two strips to catch all the action. Any of the 16 wrestlers can be selected for spectacular bouts. As each wrestler has different moves, there can be a lot of experimentation. It can be four-player, too!

Viacom New Media, a division of Viacom International, is the interactive publishing division that was established to develop and market interactive enter¬ tainment software. The Castro Valley project that is going on now is their test bed for future projects. Working closely with Nickelodeon and MTV, two of Viacom’s networks, Viacom New Media is working hard to produce quality soft¬ ware that is both fun to play and has the look and feel of the various TV shows they produce. That's where games like Rocko’s Modern Life come in. Although we have already shown you a Fact File of Rocko's Modern Life in EGM #55, we thought you might be interested in learn¬ ing some more information like the design team behind the game. It’s amaz¬ ing just how quickly a game like this can be created with such a large and talent¬ ed staff. On the other end of the spectrum are the original bad boys themselves, Beavis & Butt-head. These two have cre¬ ated a niche for themselves with their rambunctious action and their carefree attitude. Since MTV is a network of Viacom, you could really see this title coming. This adventure game puts our two heroes in search of some shredded Gwar tickets that Mr. Anderson’s poodle snatched from their hands. The adven¬ ture takes them on a trip through town to find the missing pieces. Viacom New Media may be a new face in the video game segment, but they’ve already got themselves one heck of a lineup! There’s another Nickelodeon-based title called “Nickelodeon Guts.” It’s a game show where three kids compete against each other in various events that include water and elastic sports. This game is still in very early development. show was being created. The animators of the show would send the development team rough drawings of Rocko and the gang which they would then incorporate into their computer’s paint and animation program to bring the characters to life. Not much information was known as to whether or not the characters’ animations that were developed for the show would be used in the game, and vice versa. Rocko's Modern Life took nearly 12 months to complete. Working with a team of three background artists, two anima¬ tors, two programmers, and one produc¬ er, the game was put together with a lot of improvisation by the team in the way of colors and background scenes. The hard work by everyone paid off as Rocko’s Modern Life has a unique storyline, a fun quest, and easily recognizable characters from the show. Rocko’s Modern Life is a comical game where you must save your dog, Spunky. Rocko's Modern Life is an interactive cartoon based on the Nickelodeon ani¬ mated series of the same name. The idea behind the game is to get Rocko’s rather absent-minded dog, Spunky, safely through a series of obstacles that can harm his precious pooch. Speaking with the design team offered us a look into what goes into producing a video game like Rocko’s Modern Life. The development team lead by Dave Marsh, producer of Rocko's Modern Life tells us that they started development of Rocko before Viacom New M Media was even born. It wasn't all that easy to create Rocko since they were producing the game at the same time the Line art from artists is scanned into the computer and colored with a painting program. Here, Tom Zehner shows us what Rocko looked like before the game. (TOP ROW FROM LEFT) Brian Babendererde (Lead Designer), Alisa Kober (Animator), Jarod Prano (Background Artist), Dave Marsh (Producer) (SEATED) Tom Zehner (Lead Animator), Boris Remus (Programmer), Roman Scharnberg (Programmer) The game really looks and feels like a cartoon with many scenes like this. ,4 «no Suit-head 0195'.

Developed by an independent team, these bad boys are finally getting their own video game. Beavis and Butt-head is an adventure game that takes place in their hometown with familiar sights such as Highland High School, the hospital, Turbo Mall 2000, the drive-in theater, and of course, Burger World. The story behind the game goes like this: The boys finally got tickets to see the hard rock group, Gwar. On the way home, Mr. Anderson’s pet poodle snatched the tick¬ ets from their hands and mangled them; but to top it all off, Mr. Anderson runs over the tickets with his lawnmower, sending the chopped up pieces all over the neighborhood. Now they’re on a quest to find the pieces, tape them back together, and go see Gwar. The game begins in the house with the familiar scene of Beavis and Butt-Head sitting on the couch. “ Using the remote control, they travel to different areas of the city by “Channel Surfing.” Once there, you can go into any A H of the stores and departments in the game to discover clues to the where¬ abouts of the Gwar _ tickets. They can pick up objects they’ll need later to discover certain clues. The menu is very easy to use and gives infor¬ mation like how much money they have, any items they are carrying and their con¬ scious level. There is a bit of an environ¬ mental theme here since Beavis and Butt-head can pick up bottles and drop thorn at a recycling center to earn money for later levels in the game. Don’t think this will be a simple adven¬ ture. There are plenty of dangers to stop our boys from fulfilling their goal. Shopping carts, thugs, and characters from the show try to throw Beavis and Other characters can talk to Beavis and Butt-Head with word windows that appear. What could be more fun than getting chased through a drive-in theater? Butt-head for a loop. Beavis and Butt- head are governed by “Conscious Meters” that act like health bars. The more they get beat up by people or hit by objects, the more they lose conscious¬ ness. Once they totally lose their power, -- they get warped { back to the living - _ room sofa. f There are tons of i M hidden clues and Bflp A suggestive state- ments in the game. Some clues are so obvious that they , < • • v could be on a wall w poster behind the _ boys. Beavis and Butt-head is completely non-linear so you can search for the ticket pieces at differ¬ ent locations and watch new situations unravel. Fans of the show will really enjoy all the digitized voices and cool music that fit right in with the theme of the show. Meeting characters like Billy Bob and Mr. Anderson really add to the fun and keep the game faithful to the show. The Genesis version we are showing is only 20 percent done at the time of this writing. Beavis and Butt-head for Genesis is 16-Meg and is scheduled for a Sept¬ ember release while the upcoming Super NES version should debut in October. Picking up empty bottles is a great way to earn some serious spending money. The Menu bar at the top of the screen shows what you can do in the game. 1) Shows the character you’re in control of and their status. 2) An item you’re carry¬ ing. 3) Any bottles you may have. 4) The amount of money you have to spend.

Not much has changed since what was shown last issue, but a little tweaking has been done. Essentially, it is intact. Almost all of the Egyptian pyramid level is complete, containing many passageways. Level 2 - Music Wonderland The new level is gigantic, comprised of huge brass instruments, drums, and hov¬ ering musical notes that you can clamber over to find all kinds of hidden surprises and lots of marbles to increase your lives. Be wary, though, because the enemies can leap from almost any height to clock you when you least expect it. Many new enemies are also programmed in. Several being cartoon-like animals. The Launching Frog Bonus Stage is also retained, but no others at this time.

Ladders and ropes are all over the level and are the only way there. The game starts here with your first race in the New York Grand Prix.

At the start of each level, k you are given a map which outlines your objectives •v G for that specific mission. W Along the way you will discover secrets, fight hideous looking monsters and conquer a world sel¬ dom seen. Sub-Terrania rules! After a few levels, the enemies will become much bigger and much harder to defeat. What it it all comes down to s this—each mission’s I main objective is twofold: Rescue the trapped soldiers and find the Sub-Module. Easier said than done! The stranded sol¬ diers are usually scattered in different places. And to make matters even worse, there are many intermediate mission objectives to be completed before you can rescue the people and locate the Sub-Module. It takes a lot of patience, so good luck!

Missiles especially come in handy against bigger, more powerful enemies. THE GOOD Hey, it’s a shooter with a purpose! The play control and variety of mis¬ sions make this cart a blast to play.

Next, go and rescue your trapped people located at (2). Easy enough. Now go and refuel your ship and pick up some missiles. You can get them at (3). Be careful not to hit the cavern walls, because they will drain your shields. If you hit the walls too many times, your ship will be destroyed. Now it’s time to get the I Sub-Module and complete the mission. If you need to refuel, you can do it either on the way to the Sub-Module, or on the way back! A Fuel Refresh is located at (4). As you’re going for the Sub-Module, watch out for the ceil¬ ing-mounted laser cannons along the way. If they hit you enough times when your shield is low, you’re history!

The control performs superbly and the graphics run very smoothly. In this game battle villains like The Leader. Rhino and Tyranus with the famous Hulk punches, headbutts and stomping attacks. The game promises long-term challenge and enjoyment as it will take hours to master all the moves and difficult levels. I don’t like the aver¬ age punch-and-move punch-and-move game, but this one looks like it will be a lot more than just that. The idea that you have over 15 moves to do makes the game all the more interesting. Definitely look for this game when it does appear.
