EGM SELECTED AS BEST U.S. GAME MAGAZINE AT ECTS!

at honor to receive any

We're quite pleased. It's always a gre from an official organiza-

type of recognition, but when it comes tion outside one's thing really special! The event was the e Show (ECTS),

i video

which was held in England in mid- game and computer show in all of Europe and, to put it in per-

spective, this show is the European equivalent of our Consumer Electronics Show and, like ours, is held twice a year. Thanks! It was a good show. If anything, it was the first real occasion which demonstrated that the video game world is more than just the United States and Japan. Many more games are now being developed in England, France, Germany, and Russia and this is no deep dark secret as virtually all of the major U.S. and Japanese companies had representatives out ‘shopping’ for new ideas or licenses from this undiscovered wealth of video game development talent. There certainly was a lot of heavy dealing going on, both on the floor and in the meeting rooms. АП of the new hardware was there, assuming you knew where

to look and if you had the proper credentials. The Sony PS-X

was up and running off-site and the Saturn development system was being shown under nondisclosure. Nintendo had their Game Boy to Super NES adapter playing, and the talk between developers at the bar would have melted a reporter's tape

recorder.

It was hard to believe i buying something. Expensive nowhere near the U.S. Remem discussion from last month? №

London. Want to buy a video gam in London. Not good when you also figure in an exchange rate

of about $1.5 to the British pound. Taxes are a major portion of any purchase. There is a 14 percent import duty and a 17 per- cent tax tacked onto good things like video games or systems. Kind of looks like the good old U.S.A. still has the best deals. In other news, the countdown has begun to the first issue of EGM?. We're staffed up and the work on the first, and only, biweekly voice of the industry has begun! The big day is

It's no big surprise that you guys are the number one magazine for new informa- tion. Гуе always been happy with the cool tricks in the Tricks of the Trade section, the great news from Terry Aki in Japan, and the recent introduction of the International Fact Files. What 1 have to say might sound strange, but have you guys ever considered a publication outside of the U.S.? | mean, | buy a lot of foreign magazines, namely European and Japanese, and there are plenty of times when | see foreign games in your maga- zine first. If those guys can't even cover games in their country, yet you guys man- age to here in the States, that must cer- tainly mean something. It's just something l've been thinking about lately and Рт sure

readers of your magazine in other coun- tries would be thrilled with the idea. Brad Cuttone Baltimore, MD

(Ed. Thanks for all of your kind comments, Brad! You may not have known this, but we are already sold in various countries such as England, Canada, and Australia plus we are currently looking toward branching into France and Germany. Our reputation for current information is very well received in these countries, too. In

We consider it a great honor and privilege to be recognized by the game companies and other officials of the industry in Europe! We're not content to stay number one in just the U.S. You see, EGM is planning to open an office in London and there could very well be an EGM Europe in the near future, devel- oped for the European market.

AN RPG DILEMIMA

Can somebody please tell me what the holdup is with Final Fantasy V? Let me just start by saying that | like RPGs and am quite a fan of the Final Fantasy series. I'm a little disappointed that Japan already has six games in the Final Fantasy series and we only have two here. In an issue about a year ago, you said that Final Fantasy V was supposed to be released here as Final Fantasy ІІІ last November! What's the delay? А! | hear is a little men- tion here and there, but | see no sign of it being released soon.

Timothy James Loveland, CO

Final Fantasy Ш will be coming to the States before the end of the year!

(Ed. In case you haven't heard the latest word, Square Soft will be releasing Final Fantasy V as a totally separate game from the Final Fantasy series. Since the the story line in FF5 is different from the other FFs, and it's much harder too, they chose to market this game toward an older and more experienced gamer. But what about Final Fantasy Ill, you ask? The Japanese version of Final Fantasy VI that was recently released in Japan will become the American version of Final Fantasy Ill. As for release dates, Square has set FF III for an October release and the other game is set for an early 1995 release.)

ШТ OF ALIGNMENT

Whatever happened to paddle-type controllers? It seems that racing game simulators are so much more fun to play with steering wheels, just like the arcades, rather than the cumbersome thumb pads. Games such as Race Drivin’, Virtua Racing, and Super Monaco GP II just aren't done justice with a thumbpad, no matter how great the graphics and sounds are.

Gregory L. Walker Saginaw, MI

The Sega Wheel offers more versatility for driving games like Virtua Racing.

(Ed. Your wish has been granted. Sega will be releasing the Sega Wheel, as it is called, around the same time as Virtua Racing for the Genesis. The wheel basi- cally replaces the standard pad and gives more of a lifelike feel to the game. As you can see by the picture above, the six but- tons are located on the wheel hub and are actuated by your thumbs. Of course, the familiar mode and start buttons are locat- ed within easy reach as well. The Sega Wheel is primarily targeted for Virtua Racing but should work well with other driving games out on the market. For ultimate driving realism, this is it.)

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!

| wonder how many readers get so angry at games, when they can't pass a certain part, they could scream and/or beat on their system. Most of my friends do. One of my brothers got so mad at his failure on John Madden Football that he threw his (actually my) controller on the floor as hard as he could. Two buttons popped right out. The Genesis controller still works, but now the tape holding the buttons down is messy. The point is 1 have found a solution to this problem:

Step 1- Right next to you, on the floor, put an old couch cushion or pad you have painted a target on.

Step 2- Make sure you have another pillow handy, prefer- ably the soft, fluffy type.

Step 3- Go find the box your game system came in or, if you can't find it, find a box the right size you prefer and paint a picture of your system or its name on it. Put it right in front of you.

You have now made a "GSPS" (Game System Protection Set). When you think you've been cheated simply remem- ber this pattern. First, you can throw the controller down as hard as you like as long as it hits the target. Second, if you feel like screaming and complaining put the pillow against your face and yell all you wish. Third, you have the box in front of you to kick, punch, mangle, jump on, or whatever. Have you kicked your box today?

Honestly, | am not at all surprised the ЗОО system's sales are very low. From what l've gathered, they don't even have a single RPG out. With their so-called superior graphics over the other 'game- only' systems currently out, you would think they would have at least one RPG out to show up the competition. As you may have already guessed, | am an RPG junkie. Panasonic is really overlooking a lot of potential buyers with their pricey system. І only hope that Atari doesn't make the same mistake. | read in an earlier magazine of yours that 'we gamers' can fight for the games we want to play. EGM rules!

Chris Collins Humble, TX

CEU

Involving games like The Incredible Machine should keep players busy.

(Ed. І completely agree that there should be RPGs for the 3DO. While there aren't any right this minute, developers won't want to miss out on this growing segment of the video game industry. One thing you need to remember is that RPGs take a lot longer to develop and program since they always have long and complex plots. Developers need more time to work out these time-consuming games. Besides, wouldn't you rather wait a little longer to make sure the game is actually worth it? І certainly would. However, there are some games that don't exactly fit into the RPG category but certainly offer plenty of play- ing time. These games include Star Control ІІ and The Horde from Crystal Dynamics and The Incredible Machine from Dynamix. These types of games offer weeks of game playing time, just like RPGs. It's only a matter of time before RPGs really come on strong for the 3DO, and when they do, you can be sure that we'll be here to give you the scoop on what's hot and what's not.)

When the Capcom logo came on the screen, it was clearer than any- thing | had seen on my ТУ and | have the same model he does. | asked him how he made the picture so clear and he told me that he bought an S-Video cable that ran from the jacks behind his Super NES to the S-Video jack on the back of his TV.

Savi d White

(Ed. Sure, we've heard of those cables David. You should be able to find them at most stores that carry Nintendo acces- sories such as cleaning kits and extra power supplies. If that option doesn't turn up anything, try ordering from a mail-order company for results. You can probably expect a higher price, though. S-Video does look great through the newer TVs апа is an extremely noticeable improve- ment over the horrible RF input.)

Sega will finally be bringing out the much needed RAM Cartridge for the Sega CD.

(Ed. What seemed would never become a reality will soon be coming our way. Sega has decided to release the RAM Cartridge for the Sega CD. This handy add-on was released ages ago when the Mega CD first hit the shelves in Japan. Its benefits are quite apparent. Since RPGs and heavy-duty war simulations are all the rage in Japan, naturally the save-game files are quite large, which is where the added memory in the RAM Cartridge comes in. The limited RAM in the Sega CD is precisely the reason Koei, who are also known for their heavy-duty games, couldn't release any Sega CD games for

the Sega CD. Perhaps that can change now. When the cartridge is due to come out is still up in the air but it would be a wise investment for anyone who frequent- ly saves games on their Sega CD.)

GOING THE WRONG WAY

Is it just me or is Nintendo going in the wrong direction? Rather than introduce из Super NES owners to new and exciting game technology, they want us playing Game Boy games on the Super NES. They say we'll be able to add some color, but why? Correct me if I’m wrong, but Nintendo has several hundred 8-Bit games already with color. Why not make a convertor for those? That's something the public was pleading for when the Super NES was first introduced. | don't feel adding color to a Game Boy game, which I’m sure will be quite limited, can save its graphics. I say it's three years too late for the wrong system.

Steve Ouderkirk

Ottawa, Ont., Canada (Ed. It may seem a little late but it will cer- tainly cure the Game Boy's screen curse of blurring when the game moves too fast. Also, why should Nintendo create a con- vertor for NES games when a brand-new NES would end up being cheaper than a convertor? Response to this peripheral must be pretty good if Nintendo is going ahead with the project. Only time will tell the success of this idea.)

TOO MUCH ОҒ SEGA

І have been а Sega fan for many years now and have all the Sega systems. However, | have a problem with Sega's concept of adding on to other systems instead of coming out with a whole new. system. The whole idea seems like it saves me money, but it really doesn't. After purchasing my Genesis, | was satis- fied with it until the Sega CD came out. At first, its price was way too high for me, but when it became cheaper, | purchased one. Now that this 32-X add-on is sup- posed to come out for only $150, 1 planned to buy this as well. Recently, | have begun to have second thoughts. After doing a little figuring, | realized | had spent more money on the system itself than the games. Add up the price of the Genesis, Sega CD, and the 32-X and it becomes quite an expensive system after all. When the 32- and 64-Bit systems emerge next year, the 32-X system will be no match for them, hindered by the older technology of the Genesis. | should have stayed with my Genesis and used my money to buy games, rather than add-on newer equipment.

With the Game Gear, Sega CD, Genesis, Genesis 32-X, Sega CD 32-X, and the upcoming Saturn, Sega sure has a lot of systems to make games for. Make a great Sega CD game and the Genesis owners aren't happy because they can't play it. Make a great Genesis game and the Sega CD owners aren't happy because they feel they may have wasted their money on a system that isn't that great after all. Will the Genesis and its add-on die out when the new systems take over, just like the 8-Bit Nintendo did? 1 would be very reluctant to purchase а Sega Saturn if | just bought a 32-X and spent almost $500 on the Sega CD 32-X. | like Nintendo's idea of waiting until there is a significant enough improvement in the technology before bringing out a new sys- tem. I’m not saying that anyone should leave Sega, but | think you should think twice before buying an ‘inexpensive’ add-on to the Genesis.

Bryan Marks

Fayetteville, NC (Ed. This is a hard question to answer. It may not be cheaper for you to buy them, but it’s definitely cheaper for big compa- nies, like Sega, to introduce add-ons rather than spend loads of cash for new equipment and development time on a whole new system. It’s just good business sense to think that way. If the thought of Sega producing so many systems bothers you, then why buy them? If Sega didn’t make money, they wouldn't be doing it. Nintendo may be more cautious, but Sega does get out there to test the waters.)

Having а game with commentary in several: languages is an inter- esting option that actually adds atmosphere. This is a pretty good Soccer game, although the speed moves of players are choppy. Good two-player action.

Shadowrun incorporates action RPG role-playing strategies.

S one is pretty engrossing, with excellent overhead action sequences, and plenty of areas to

explore. Fans of the role-playing ü

system will definitely want this.

This sports excellent graphics and sound you have to hear, but after missing that precise jump with the less-than-perfect control, you'll probably get incredibly frus- trated. If not for that, this one would have scored higher.

ВА

Standard baseball fare, with all the teams and a Two-player Option. The password feature. is always welcome, and there are several types of series types (division, etc.). An enjoyable sports game, yet nothing new.

x

An almost-perfect translation of the PC title, Rise of the Dragon has a richly-deserved MA-17 rat- ing. This one captures its gritty future incredibly well, with atmos- pheric graphics, but the problem is there is almost no replay value.

...Hi-ho, game fiends, the Q-Mann is back, and better than before! They had the technology, now I’m stronger and faster—which helps when you're trying to get past CES security. There's plenty of good stuff this month, my Quarter-maniacs, so in an attempt to quit wasting precious space, let's cut to the chase and dig into the dirt ...The adapter wars are hot again, with both Sega and Nintendo throwing new add-ons into the ring. The 32X definitely K.O.'d the Game Boy peripheral, but the big М came roaring back with news on their upcoming VR system for under 200 bucks! Although this smells suspiciously like the Atari Cosmos system (play against holographic enemies on a table-top self-contained unit), the Q feels that the Nintendo gurus could possibly have something truly cool under wraps. From the word around the halls that yours truly has visited recently, the experience given off by the new machine is absolutely unique. We'll keep you posted ... Once the Q-Mann got to his plush estate in downtown Naperville, а very unusual call came in from an undercover source close to a new device simply code-named "VR." You guessed it, the Quartermann scored big on another virtual reality machine now under development by either Hasbro or Mattel! According to the mystery man, this new gear will include a helmet and a mega-fast 32-Bit processor running at least four 3-D software packs for the intro in 1995...

...Still on the hardware circuit, look for a portable ЗОО from Toshiba, with a built-in screen for on-the-go gaming! While sources tell the Q that Toshiba has their sights set for early '95, the hefty price tag that could be slapped on such a device may delay its marketing into the States ... While we're on the subject of systems that cost Astro-Bucks, Pioneer is set to stick their LaserActive laserdisc system plus one console module for the low, low price of a single grand! Yep, that's right, now you can have a good laser player plus some great games for the cost of two 3DOs. The machine's a blast, but that price is definitely an allowance- buster! ... Remember the Iron Man? It was going to be NEC's answer to the 3DO and other high-profile game machines, but it has been delayed (not killed as other reports have mentioned) while Hudson tries to sort out the battlefield to see who the domi- nant player is. If it’s any indication, the company responsible for the classic PC Engine will soon sign up as a Saturn developer! What's the first game? Could it be Virtua Bonk?...

...Васк in the U.S., Acclaim is dead-set on getting МК2 on the streets іп the fall. Both Probe and Sculptured have been given ulti- matums to finish up all revs before the end of May so that the next Mortal (2) Monday promotions can be targeted for September or October. The games are finished and yours truly has looked at the Sega version and it's 24-Megs of major cool, with every- thing intact! ... While we're on the subject of Acclaim, their deal with Williams, which aced them classics such as MK and МВА Jam, has been ended. Their last consumer entry from the Midway stable of arcade hits will be NBA Jam Tournament Edition. Williams/Midway, meanwhile, bought up Tradewest to do the duties of bringing their coin-ops to life on the small screen. Look for Rare to be heavily involved with the programming and development of upcoming titles ... WMS is also going full steam ahead with a coin-op version of Nintendo's upcoming Project Reality system ... Also, Acclaim tried to soften the blow of their Midway divorce by announcing an alliance with Sega to get into the arcade biz riding on the big 'S' 32-Bit hardware as well as their intentions to buy Valiant, a comic company best known for publishing new stories using other people's characters as well as those truly hor- rendous Nintendo comics that came out a few years ago. Remember Captain N? The synergy should be good for Acclaim, how- ever, considering Marvel is going to start their own games division and pull back some of the licenses that Acclaim has done such a great job of promoting...

...Зеда is really scrambling—so say sources inside the big ‘S.’ Now that they've got Nintendo on the defensive, all gears are mov- ing fast-forward on 32X development. Unfortunately, it looks like they will be going it alone when the unit is unveiled to players during the holiday season since the Q has investigated and found that nobody has the 32X development gear. All of the up-and- coming European houses are signed on to do games, but none has a development system. Unless you see a flurry of quickie ports from other platforms, the first wave of independent softs will likely hit in mid-to-late ‘95... Mega Man 7 is under development for the Super NES ... Other news from the Sega R&D front—seems Sega is proceeding with their split cartridge concept and should have a flurry of poly games ready for X-Mas. l've seen Virtua Fighter being played on this and, even though it was slightly scaled back, it was hot ... Time Warner now owns Tengen and has upped their stake in Atari Corp ... We'll round out this issue on а high note! Tengen and Nintendo have put down their guns and made up! Can you imagine the joy? Can you imagine the future? Can you imagine all the money in the lawyers' pockets...

was shown throughout Japan, but the colors and design of the U.S. version could change at Sega's whim.

Everyone has been wondering what kind of support the Saturn would be receiving. Trying to get you the news as it comes, we went directly to the Source: Sega of Japan.

Sega showed the media a preliminary version of the Saturn.

Sega of Japan announced six major licensees for their Saturn. They are: Capcom, Namco, Konami, Taito, Hudson, and Bandai—all of which have not been able to comment on what they are developing for it.

Other companies that have signed on the Saturn bandwagon include, Game Arts (of Silpheed fame. Planning two games.), Koei, Sunsoft, Sims, Data East (planning two games), Danpa Shimbunsha, Treasure (Gunstar Heroes and Dynamite Headdy), and finally Victor Entertainment.

So the future of the Saturn looks to be ensured. With its big name licensees, it will be interesting to see the first wave of

next generation Sega. Still no news, however, on whether or not it will be compatible with the 32X system yet. That is another question which is on everyone's mind.

As the latest news reaches us, we'll

The Saturn looks like it will be a hot item when it is finally released.

NINTENDO!

Next spring, Nintendo will release a new game system that offers virtual reality (VR) applications. As opposed to current VR systems, the new system will not require the use of special glass- es. The new system will be driven on a 32-Bit chip and use special software. President Yamauchi claimed, “The sys- tem will open up a new field of enter- tainment,” which is said to be unlike traditional video game systems that are connected to TV monitors. Nintendo intends to build up the new system as a strategic product to follow the Famicom and Super Famicom.

The new game system is presently in its final stages of development. It will be unveiled at the new software show to be held in Tokyo in mid-November. Believe it or not, the new system price is claimed to be under ¥20,000 ($180). The software will be priced lower than SFC software. It is believed that Nintendo developed this system to counter Matsushita's 3DO REAL and other systems that are causing greater competition in the market.

Nintendo will be the first company to offer VR at a price below Ұ20,000. President Yamuchi also stated that the new system will provide, "Super VR for experiencing virtual reality with using an HMD (head mount display)."

As Nintendo is jointly studying and developing video display technologies with an American company, it may be possible that this system may use projection technology.

This bold new step may once again put Nintendo ahead of the pack.

SONY'S PS-X: FIRST GLIMPSE AT THE FUTURE!

One system that has a lot of mystery surrounding it is the Sony PS-X. Sony has been very secretive in terms of software and games. Until now.

Scheduled for release sometime this November in Japan and September next year in the UK and the U.S., the PS-X is drawing a lot of attention.

The reason for such a delay to

Sony has announced that we can expect to see the PS-X and at least 20 of the games at the next Chicago CES in June. The games, when released, will cost between $30.00 and $50.00.

So this year we can expect the first real look at the PS-X in action, com- plete with its slew of first generation games. Sony seems to have a sound

“In the U.S., we still do not have а defined company for distribution of the PS-X, thus there has been no

Europe

aum communication about it."

America is

simple. Sony wants to give the devel- opers ample time to produce games that aren't hurried or rushed. Its retail price is expected to be under $400.

By the end of this month, European developers can expect to receive development systems.

Aside from leading firms like Sensible Software, Probe, DID, BITS, and Argonaut Software (who have signed up with Sony) big-time video game publishers are preparing software for the PS-X. These include Capcom, Konami, Namco, Ocean, Acclaim, and Electronic Arts.

plan. It will be interesting to see the public's reaction to it.

These pictures, from games that are in progress, show the PS-X's capabilities.

It will be interesting to see whether or not the PS-X can win the systems war.

The PS-X features lightning fast video-like graphics for awesome effects.

The latest word in the video game market seems to be from the toy industry. It appears that one of the major toy companies is possibly plan- ning to release their own video gaming system. While we do not yet know which company (the information has yet to be disclosed), three major play- ers were mentioned. It could be any one of them. Those mentioned were: Fisher Price, Hasbro, and Mattel.

While this information is rather vague, the specifics on the system itself are still up in the air as well. The new system, has no tentative name and no statistics other than that it will be 32-Bit. This system is to be CD- based, will come with a VR helmet and controller, and have a game packed into it. The price they are aiming for is $499.00. More news on this as it hits.

PORTABLE 200!

Toshiba, known for its consumer products and manufacturing of commu- nications goods, has signed an agree- ment to market, manufacture, and distribute 3DO products. Toshiba will bring out the ЗОО in the UK, along with a special portable 3DO on the horizon. The first version will not have a screen, but the second one, also in the works, will come with a screen. The portable can also be installed into automobiles.

SONIC 4 FOR GENESIS COMING THIS FALL!

EGM has learned from sources at Sega that they will acknowledge the existence of a new Sonic game at their Sega Show being held in Orlando at the end of May. This new Sonic game will come out later this fall.

While this is not a big surprise, as Sonic is Sega's mascot and each new game featuring him almost guarantees several million cart sales, this version, Sega states, will be “extra special!”

The idea of having three Sonic games (Sonic CD-November 1993, Sonic 3-February 1994 and Sonic 4- September 1994) in less than one year would obviously tax any development staff, so if a fourth game was to come out this year, one would seriously won- der how Sega could do anything spe- cial in the limited amount of time avail- able. But they will—Ed has the com- plete details and he won't tell anybody. Seems that Sega has a gag order on him and he can't talk about it until later this summer.

It all started back at the winter CES.

Ed found out about a new Sonic game in a routine interview he was conduct- ing and when things didn't add up, he probed deeper into SoA (America), SoJ (Japan), and SoE (Europe). In doing that, Ed discovered one of Sega's top secret projects. What is it? All he would tell us is that he has been droppping subtle hints about this technology through his articles over the past several months.

What can he say?

"The future is tied to the past."

"By looking at the level select Screens for the past Sonic games, an astute reader can see what the Sonic programmers have been up to. From this information, one can predict the future. Sonic 4 will do something that no other cartridge game has ever done before."

We don't have a clue as to what he is talking about, but if a reader can do the required research and solve the mys- tery we'll be eternally grateful.

More next month!

SUPER STREET FIGHTER 2 COMING TO THE SUPER NES IN JULY!

EGM has been able to obtain from Japan early Screen shots of the Japanese version of Super Street Fighter 2 for the Super Famicom (Super NES in America).

Preliminary information places the Super NES version of the game at a whopping 32 megabits, double the amount which was allocated to last year's version of Street Fighter 2 Turbo. This extra memory is eviden- tally needed for all of the graphics and animations

won't come cheap. Early information places the suggested Japanese

al) retail price at $100 (Ұ10,900), but consider- ing the current economic conditions over there, that price could quickly drop down to about $80. If this is any indication of what a 32 Megabit game must sell for, the U.S.

В copy could hit the $80 to

$85 bracket also.

When contacted, Capcom U.S. would not disclose specific prices or details about this game.

for the four new charac- ters (Cammy, Dee Jay, T. Hawk, and Fei Long). In addition, an official at Capcom U.S. states that this new ver- sion will have “... extra game play that is not in the arcade." This could mean more options (as we saw in the Genesis Champion Edition vs. the Super NES Turbo version last year), or perhaps new secret moves.

One thing that we hope Capcom will include in this game is a speed setting. The arcade game was horribly slow, and at least by giving the player a choice of speeds to choose from

The background effects in Fei Long's stage have been faithfully retained.

Here it is! The first picture of the long-awaited Super Street Fighter 2 for the Super Famicom/Super NES! It's 32-Meg and should be coming in June/July!

(either in the option screen or hidden in a trick code), then the home version won't suffer from the same problem. While we're wishing, having multiple endings, as found on the last home game, would give players even more incentive to strive to get that "best" ending. Unfortunately, our gut feeling is that since the megabit count is up so high already, the multiple endings just might be the first thing that is cut out in order for the game to fit into 32-Meg.

While an official release date has not been confirmed at press time, June 26 is the tentative in-store date in Japan for, at least, the Super Famicom ver- sion. Since the Mega Drive (Genesis) involves such a small percentage of the Japanese game market, that version could come out up to a month later.

The best guess for the U.S. release would be sometime in July as Capcom has not been able to do a worldwide simultaneous release yet. The U.S. has always lagged behind Japan by at least one month.

As to the price, the extra megabits

They did say that the game would be available for a Fact File in the July issue of EGM. Assuming no major set- backs on Capcom's end, look for a full-blown Fact File next issue!

With a speed setting the action really could heat up, just like in the arcade!

NEW PROGRAMMABLE JOYSTICKS AND JOYPADS FROM QUICKSHOT & COMP. PRO

Tired of having to buy a separate con- troller for each home system? Well, Competition Pro's Multi-System 6 (from Happ Controls, Inc.) joypad is compatible with both the Super Nintendo and Genesis systems! The controller is loaded with func- tions: two turbo speeds, slow motion, and is 6-button Genesis compatible. The controller uses a Super NES/Genesis plug adapter to switch between the systems.

AND FROM

For more of an arcade feel, Quickshot Technology, Inc. has three new joysticks available: two are for the Genesis system (the Conqueror 3 and 3+3) and one is for the Super NES (the Conqueror 2). These joysticks feature programmability, slow

fire buttons, and suction-cup mountings.

Competition PRO has a similar controller for the Genesis system only. Called the Professional Control Pad, it features many of the same functions as the Multi-System 6, except it doesn’t have buttons on the top left and right sides. For Genesis 3-button only fans, there is also a Professional Control Pad with only three buttons that also has turbo speeds on each button plus a slow motion function.

The Conqueror 3 and 3+3 is 6-button compatible, and can store up to seven steps into one sequence move. For example, in Street Fighter 2 Special Champion Edition, Ken’s Fireball has a total of three steps (moves that require the pressing of a button are not counted as a step).

In addition to programming moves that require specific joystick motions, you can also configure the controller so that moves that require multiple buttons to be pressed

can be set to one button (for example, Zangief's spinning clothesline that requires you to use two punch buttons simultaneous- ly can simply be done with one).

Programming moves, though is somewhat tricky, and you should read the manual very carefully to learn how to do them.

As the Conqueror 3+3 and 3 are 6-button compatible, the Quickshot 3 (only for the Genesis), on the other hand, is only 3-button compatible, and in the Program Mode, but- ton depressions are counted as a step.

For those of you more accustomed to joy- pads, Quickshot has a new joypad—the Super Pro Super Nintendo:Control Pad. This peripheral features turbo speeds on all the buttons, in addition to auto fire. For more information on Quickshot products, please call (510) 490-7968.

from the original Shining Force.

I’m hoping it will come out here. We sure could use more of these kinds of games that challenge the brains and not the reflexes. The original Shining Force did well. Why not bring it out over here?

Release - July

The latest installment in Sega’s fan- tasy tactical RPG series is actually a coupling of the Shining Force Gaiden and SFG2 which came out for the Game Gear. In making the jump from portable to CD-ROM, the two games have been entirely reprogrammed with vastly improved graphics, sounds, and enemy intelligence rou- tines. It will essentially be a two-in- one game with extra special graphics.

This is based on a popular manga comic about a youth gang that pretends to be a high school karate club. To no- one's surprise, this is being prepared as a wild-looking fighting game fully loaded with completely over-the-top power moves.

The renegade students from the comic are fully represented, including a pair of kung fu twins who fight as a team and a slimy bald priest who uses his Buddhist prayer beads to strangle unwitting oppo- nents.This is one of the most intense fighting carts you'll lay eyes on.

The characters have Rage Meters allowing fighters to let loose super power moves.

Super Famicom ЕЯ RPG e

Close to two years after the original release date, Nintendo's first RPG for the Super Famicom finally appears to be nearing completion. Japanese fans have waited a long time, but it seems the wait has been worthwhile.

Unlike typical swords and sorcery RPGs in medieval settings, the series is set in modern day in an imaginary country which appears to be very much like America. But things are not all that normal. Geeg, a strange being from outer space, has infested the land with strange beings who make monsters out of ordinary bugs. Nes, the young hero, and pals travel on a journey to thwart the evil Geeg.

The Korean martial art shares many simi- larities with Chinese Kung Fu, and is said to be the roots of Japanese karate. Like these sports, the empha- sis is on wicked kicks, punches, and chops. Rather than opting for improb- able power moves or fatalities, Human stuck to a realistic portrayal of the sort that loses nothing in terms of Speed and excitement. You can enter your own fighter with unique attributes

The 3-D arcade shooter, under

development by Success, will be com- ing out under the Sunsoft label. It’s based on a very cute arcade shooter with a 90 degree twist.

Play as Cotton, a young witch in training, who must get astride her fly- ing broom to fight the hordes of evil beings set loose on her world. Helped by the fairy, Silk, lots of magical spells can help take out the bad guys.

ОВ

Cotton and Silk must brave dark caves and a multitude of scary enemies.

Cotton's latest adventure is visually awesome.

P ЕСЕ

Here's a neat concept in action games. Goomin is a young boy who must rescue his grandfather from a nefarious witch. At first, he has to do all his fighting with a large sledgeham- mer. However, by beating stage Bosses, Goomin picks up animal out- fits that give him special powers. With interesting game play, intricate graphics, and the cool strategy of the Suits, Goomin looks to be a hit!

Bow, the canine hero of a popular Manga and anime series (who resem- bles Spuds McKenzie), makes his game debut. The game is very sim- ple—it's your basic air hockey type setup with added pinball features. Score more goals than your opponent and you win! For variety, players get to choose main characters from the anime, each with different skills and attributes. The rackets can be replaced with shovels, baseball bats, and other handy tools for hammering wicked line-drives and special attacks (which are plentiful).

A simple game, sort of like Pong for the '90s, but with enough spice to

keep it interesting and fun. Fans of

the anime and younger players

should have a blast with this one. 1

The folks that brought you the superb Pocky & Rocky shooter have come up with an entirely new kind of 3-0 shooting action game. Unlike standard 3-D shooters (where all you See on the screen is your gunsight or your aircraft), this Wild West action keeps the player-character on-screen (a cowboy named Clint or a cute saloon girl) together with the gunsight. That means you must keep your char- acter moving, while still trying to aim your own gunsight.

Don’t worry, it's not as tricky as it Seems. In fact, it's a lot of fun, espe- cially if you get a friend to join in on the mayhem.

Since this game is so cool, we'll try to bring you more information on this unique kind of game in the next issue of EGM, so stick around pardner for what looks to be one of the hottest shooters in the West. (err... East)

Yuyu Hakusho 2

Fighting же | vum

This is the latest addition to the long and still growing list of fighting games based on popular animes such as Dragon Ball Z, Ranma 1/2, and the Fist of the North Star series. Unlike cheesy conversions whose only sav- ing grace is the use of anime charac- ters to sucker hapless fans (hello, Fist of the North Star 7!), Namco has made sure this game will be able to stand on its own merits. Each fighter has been endowed with four basic punches and kicks as a start. After that, every character has four moves requiring tricky controller movements. Better still, everyone has a super power mover that they can only do when their hit points are close to zero and their spirit meter is fully charged.

Even if you don't know the anime, this game provides plenty of entertain- ment value. It even has decent graph- ics to back up the game play.

Take out the menacing robots that have taken over the frontier planets.

The giant robots that appear often take up the entire screen.

Some of the special moves are truly awesome to see in action.

Even if you haven't heard of the anime, you'll like this wicked fighting cart.

The setting of this game is in the rivers and lakes of Japan where you must first scope out ideal spots and cast your line. After choosing your gear and your lure, go after 15 differ- ent kinds of prey, ranging from simple crayfish to the huge legendary fish known as the Master of the River who is the envy of all fishermen.

Zero-4 Champ RR ШЕГЕН ШЕГЕН

This isn't your typical racing game. It focuses entirely on one-on-one quarter mile or 1,000 meter drag races that are decided by mere sec- onds. You start out with a basic car, and you have to do various jobs in the form of mini-games to get money. Build up your car and go for the glory. Can you build the ultimate car?

POFSF RS.

J. League, the Japanese pro-soccer league, kicked off its second season in great style with sell-out crowds guaranteed for every match into August. Namco, being the first maker to release an official J. League game with full roaters, scored a huge hit with the original Prime Goal last year. The sequel is shaping up to repeat that success this summer. The team ros- ters have been changed to reflect their real teams, which includes two new teams. The game has been made much faster for wilder, speedier action. Player substitutions and for- mation changes have also Ў been added in for purists. 1 With World Cup fever ris- ing over here, it would be dà nice to see this translat- ed as a World Cup

Tactics Ogre

This is the sequel to Ogre Battle, an awesome real time war simulation that took the Japanese gamers by storm. (Ogre Battle will be released by Imagineer over here. Trust me, it is one fantastic game that's easy to play, and impossible to put down.)

Although a sequel, Tactics Ogre features an entirely different type of game system using 3-D maps for maneuvering teams of crusaders in chess-like moves. Teams can be composed of a huge variety of char- acters including knights, valkries, vampires, giants, and many others. Each character has its own abilities to cast devastating spells and do mas- sive damage.

Ogre Tactics has terrific graphics and an extremely intricate game system. This game is certain to

become a smash hit with the Japanese gamers.

The action is fast-paced and very intense. Not for the faint of heart.

The shootout scenes are drawn well in an already nice game.

Violent magical forces will help you out if you have spellcasters.

Follow the story between battles, and use the info for your strategy.

The cute little action game Soccer Kid is coming out for the ЗОО by Krisalis Software LTD. The graphics have been enhanced greatly over the 16-Bit version and a brand new soundtrack is here.

Travel around the world using your Soccer ball as a weapon and a tool. You can jump on it to get higher, and you can peg an enemy in the head with it. Just like in real life!

This is your basic side-scrolling adventure with cutsie graphics and complex play mechanics. This cart stands out simply because there aren't all that many games like this for the 3DO system.

Don’t let the name fool you. You don't have to know about sports for this one. It's a good clean action game. Soccer Kid requires technique, and use of your noggin, in more ways than one.

Wackyland of Sports

Tiny Toons: Wackyland of Sports is on its way. This is what you'd get if you combined those loony cartoons with the Olympics. Pick and choose your favorite character like Buster Bunny, Babs Bunny (no relation), Hamton, and the ever popular Dizzy Devil. These goofy toons will have to duke it out in a number of crazy events. For example, there's a weight- lifting event, a target range (using Monty's head as a target, might I add), and even a 3-D Mode 7 hang gliding event that's sure to have its ups and downs.

Though the picture quality of these photos are bad, the game really does look great. It would make a terrific addition to the line of Tiny Toons games.

If you are a big fan of those adorable cartoons, then you'll proba- bly want to wait for this one.

IS THE TRICKMAN GETTING COLD FEET?

The wedding is a little more than a week away, and Terry is as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs! It took most of the Sendai staff and a couple of bloodhounds to find him after he totally freaked out and ran away. It turns out that he was hiding in the closet in his quaint lit- tle condo (which his loyal readers helped him get). When asked why he did it, Terry just mumbled some trick-speak and passed out. Don't let the Trickman back out of his wedding! Show him your support and care by sending your new and awesome tricks to:

Konami Snatcher

Sega CD Adventure

Konami's been busy porting this over from the PC-Engine Super CD to the Sega CD. Now Sega CD players are in for a real treat.

You are Gillian Seed, a bounty hunter searching for robots who kill human beings and then impersonate them. You are a member of Snatcher, the group best known for hunting these menaces. As the plot unravels, you will be making friends and ene- mies. Your partner is a Metal Gear. (Do you remember the old NES game?) It can do many things, like help you out in the forensics depart- ment. To hunt down the deadly droids, you must keep an eye open for clues and the occasional ambush.

Snatcher is very reminiscent of the movie Blade Runner, with more then just a few coincidences in the charac- ter design. The puzzles are very well thought out and the graphics are beautifully animated. The colors are also surprisingly bright. The audio is good enough to sink your teeth into as well.

Thank goodness Konami had the sense to translate this one for the Sega CD. It's been at the top of the Japanese charts, and it'll probably do the same here. Just a word of caution: this game is for adults only. It contains

In your favor, you can swing, bungee jump, and use mystical Mayan masks for special powers.

What's best of all, this cart has superb animation and graphics, mak- ing it a tribute to the Pitfall games before it.

Pitfall Harry will be in deeper trouble than he can ever imagine.

Super NES Puzz

You are a cyberbot who must slide sets of tiles together to make them disappear. When the production line rips into overdrive, you'll have a major headache. Match the numerous kinds of tiles quickly, or you'll end up to your neck in parts.

To help you out, a second player can join in the fun. Special tiles will sometimes appear that can be cleared away with the tool tiles. The action heats up the better you get.

And if you really want to have a blast, there's a special Puzzle Mode from the creator of Tetris! This is a fast-paced puzzler that will test your mind as well as your reflexes.

It starts off easy enough, but soon you'll have a lot to worry about. It's addictive.

Pitfall Harry's new adventure is his best ever. Remember the original?

Giant aquatic enemies will make Harry's quest even more difficult.

Revengers of Vengeance

We first showed you this game a few issues back while it was still called Battle Fantasy. Now that it has been renamed, we have gotten more info on the plot.

An evil being named Venum has awakened, and has started disrupting the many peoples of the world. Each of the 10 fighters has a reason for stopping Venum, and there are intri- cate cinemas detailing it. Venum and his demons are destroying the Impossible World. Can anyone hope to stop him?

Once the towns were peaceful and prosperous, then Venum came....

ый Venum is the dark lord who is attacking the many lands.

The leader of a clan of man-wolves, Barko, vows to destroy Venum.

e i Bullet-Proof Software

It's a puzzle game where poisonous snakes are being piled up. If you can match two of the same kind, both will disappear. But if you keep messing up, the snakes will attack you!

There are different backgrounds that affect the game play, plus cobras that devour any snake unfortunate to get in its way. And something ultra- rare, is the Wild Snake that makes all of a specific snake disappear.

Like most puzzle games, this one shines when you have two players fighting it out. Send snakes to his side as the action heats up.

There's more strategy here than Tetris and the graphics are quite cool. If you need something to slake your thirst for brain-bending fun, then Wild Snake is for you.

Based on the animated film that hit a while back, you play the part of an immigrant mouse who has a taste for adventure. Fievel decides to travel to the Wild West to save his family from the cunning Cat R. Waul. He's armed with a simple water pistol—that’s it. Will it be enough to survive the many dangers ahead?

The Mousekewitz family is facing its worst crisis ever. Fievel knows his folks are about to be turned into mouse-burgers, so he'll do anything to save them. The little mouse has to go through Western towns, on giant mine cars, and to the relentless desert. Can Fievel prevail?

The mine cart ride is one that is surely going to thrill you with its action.

THE JAGUAR CD-ROM... |

Recently, we were able to see an early version of the Jaguar CD-ROM, and boy did it have a few surprises! First off, it is compatible with the Cinepac compression system, so you can watch movies with it. Unlike the 3DO, which can only display 20 frames per second max at a video size of 160 by 180, the Jaguar can have up to 50 frames—a clear-cut difference. A CD using Cinepac can have one to three hours of footage, depending on the material shot. While movies on CD may be nothing new, the Jaguar CD can also have audio and video collision, so you will be able to effectively interact with the video. That is something that has never been done effectively before.

Also for the Jaguar CD, you can plug in a special MPEG cartridge and watch the CD movies that are current- ly compatible with the Philips CD-i and Amiga CD. MPEG seems to be quickly becoming the major format for CD movies. So not only will you be able to use Cinepac discs, but those that are MPEG. MPEG is about half a notch below quality of VHS and Cinepac is about one. Not much of a difference.

|

Here's the special compression card that lets you watch CD movies.

Here it is—the Jaguar CD-ROM system with the compression card.

The classic Lynx game has gone 64-Bit! Fly a heavily armed fighter deep behind enemy lines to accom- plish missions of the utmost impor- tance. Tanks, planes, and ground- based missile systems will try to blast you out of the air.

The graphics are unbelievable, and are among the best for the Jaguar. The many canyons, rivers, and jun- gles are wonderfully detailed.

This update shows off what the Jaguar can do. Makes you wonder what other Lynx titles will appear.

| Brutal Sports Football |

Football has been getting more and more violent over the years, so it should come as no surprise to you that this football game of the future is a major hack 'n' slash. Brutal Sports Football lets you use weapons, hurtle fire balls, and maim your opponents all in the comfort of your living room!

A huge assortment of icons allows you to use a variety of tactics to Score. These can get quite imagina- tive. If you want a football game with bite, Brutal Sports Football has more than enough to satisfy!

Billy and Jimmy Lee return in the latest installment in the Double Dragon series. Unlike before, this is strictly a one-on-one fighting game. It's based on the popular animated series and all the fighters are appropriately cartoon-like.

Each fighter is loaded with special moves. There are also dozens of backgrounds to choose from. The Jaguar version features graphics that are particularly impressive.

If you liked the earlier Double Dragons, look out for this one.

Atari

Flashback

The futuristic thriller Flashback is coming to the Jaguar!

You developed some hi-tech glass- es that could see special things. Unwittingly, you discovered an alien plot. Now you've lost your memory, and you have to get it back.

Like before, this adventure has great animated cinemas and nonstop action. Don't get too cocky though, because there are some nasty puz- zles in it as well.

This translation should attract a few gamers to the Jaguar system.

Kirby, had many great adventures. What would happen if Kirby and some of the characters from his adven- tures played golf? You'd get Kirby's Tee Shot. This cute game takes place on ele- vated platforms where you have to hit Kirby like a golfball through the wild courses filled with traps, levers, and mon- sters who try to stop you. Items are scat- tered throughout the courses, and they'll enable you to have certain powers. There will be many more options you can choose from. To hit Kirby, jump over barriers. This is one unique game!

Т he cute character from Nintendo,

You will notice at the bottom right-hand corner that there's a crosshair g on Kirby's butt. This is how you will hit Kirby. Move the crosshair around to determine where Kirby will be hit. The bar on the right will compensate for Kirby's velocity. The higher the bar goes the harder you will hit Kirby. That must hurt for Kirby. Ouch!

he people of Waterdeep have one H heck of a problem. Seemingly end- less streams of monsters are appearing from out of nowhere. You are to find the origin of this evil and destroy it, if you can. Begin your journey under- neath the city in the foul sewers. As you enter the sewers, you hear a massive earth slide and whip around to see that your only visible entrance and exit has been blocked off by a staggering amount of rocks. Now you can only follow your original orders and hope you find an exit in the process.

This is a true translation of the popular PC game. Create all four of your charac- ters and hope you have designed the right batch to get you through. This a 3-D perspective game that allows you to use either your controller or, more preferably, a mouse if you have one. The mouse will make the game much easier to play.

Dennis Nedry decided to be a pain in everyone's behind and disable the security program. Not only did he disable the security, but he also encoded everything so no one else could enable them for a while. As one of two parts of your objective, you must get rid of Nedry's security block by playing his little games and moving up levels in security. Once you do that, your goal has been reached and you can continue on.

If and when the T-Rex should capture you, езе here is what you'll see. So this doesn't

happen to you, steer clear of all obstacles paene and only brake when absolutely necessary.

This game has an interesting story and | like the fact that there are two different modes of play.

The game lacks good control in the action sequences, which makes it more than a little frustrating.

When you walk into Yum-Yum's cave you see him munching on somebody. Gross!

oda's Revenge is the sequel to the

very popular game, Star Tropics.

Mike is back after the adventure where he saved his uncle the scientist and some space kids. His uncle is trying to crack a special code that gives him a special word. When Mike finds and reads the word, he gets sent on an incredible adventure that teleports him back in time. After the first level, he realizes that this wasn't an accident, but that he has been chosen to face the evil Zoda once again in order to recover block-like creatures called Tetraids. This game has levels that are both RPG and action.

Extreme-ly Cool Gear

izarre and wonderful things happen when sub-cultures collide. Now comic book col- lectors and skateboarders have a common ground, and the world is a more interesting place. Extreme studios, already famous for publishing such books as Youngblood and Glory have created a new line of skate- boards. They are all set for distribution in skate and sport shops in 47 countries.

212 Electronic Gaming Monthly

According to Jim Gray, President of ACME Skateboards, the company producing the boards, *We've done hundreds of different designs and these graphics are, by far, the highest quality we've ever put on a skateboard and initial demand for the prod- uct has been overwhelming- ly strong."

If ACME gets the cool graphics it wants, Extreme is hoping for a slew of new readers. “We’re using pow- erful graphics to attract attention," says Matt Hawkins, promotions and marketing director for Extreme. “АП of our ancil- lary products, like the skate- boards, are intended to boost sales for our comic books."

You can try to catch a look at them on MTV's new game show, Trashed, at 6:30 weekday nights, where they are being offered as prizes. They might even pop up at your local comic book store, since retailers should be able to order the boards.

ll the posters, video games, and Pez dispensers just weren't enough. Sure, they were reminders of the characters 27 we loved, but |] they had to Т stay at home. There was always а need to take a part of our wasted child- ү hood with us `} into the respon- ™ sible, adult world.

\| il If You Gotta Wear a Tie...

And now you can. Thanks to new licensing agreements, DC Comics has put some of its most popular characters onto ties that will make everyone give a second look, and keep you-or your Dad- from taking life too seriously.

Fashion Corporation of Boca Raton, FL, puts out a line of silk and polyester ties that sell for about $12.00 and up. For the more style- minded, Famous Neckwear of Montreal has 100% silk ties that start at $30.00.

And for the office fashion- plate, Leeds Neckwear of Concord, Ontario, can put your favorite hero around your throat for a mere $65.00.

Blockbuster Video Sponsoring Major Video Game Contest

ut on the game face. Get in the zone. And keep those thumbs limber. The first ever World Video Game Championship com- petition is about to begin.

Blockbuster Video is spon- soring the event with about 2,600 participating Blockbuster stores in the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom, Chile, and Australia.

The event begins May 16 with the local qualifying rounds. Players age 20 and under can sign up at their local participating Blockbuster for the in-store round of competition. In-store play starts on June 15 and will last three weeks.

Each week of the competi- tion, contestants play a dif- ferent game in the format of their choice, either Sega Genesis or Super Nintendo Entertainment System. One Sega player and one SNES player with the highest cumulative scores will be crowned store champions and move on to their respective regionals.

In regional competition, some players will go head to head in tournaments. Other players will be entered into a drawing in a statewide pool.

All in all, 200 players will advance to the finals of the World Game Championship to be held in Fort Lauderdale, FL, August 19-21.

A$6 Introduces the Jukebox of the 21st Century

t's a sight common to any house with video game fanatics. Cartridges. Cartridges every- where. In stacks on the floor in front of the TV. Stuck in- between the couch cush- ions. Thrown somewhere behind a potted plant. They get dusty. They get broken. They get in the way. And why?

Well, you're playing them.

People used to have the same problem organizing their music, and for the same reason. Why be com- mitted to an entire side of a Little Richard record when you could suffer an Elvis attack the next second? As any fan of the King will tell you, there's nothing worse than having to sort through your music collection to find the song you need in the middle of an Elvis attack. The solution then was the jukebox, and the solution now is the new Video

JukeBox from ASG Technologies, Inc.

The Video JukeBox is a networked peripheral for use with Sega Genesis, Sega CD, Nintendo SNES, and Atari Jaguar. Each unit holds up to six cartridges and links up to your TV or video game monitor. Access what- ever cartridge you want at the touch of a button, and then play any game on that cartridge. Simple. If you have more than six favorite cartridges, the VJ units are designed to daisy-chain to one another. Two units will link together to hold 12 cartridges, three to hold 18, and so on. Access any game you want from a single con- trol. Manufacturer's sug- gested retail price: $49.99.

But we can hear the com- plaints already, “Look, I bought a VJ to reduce the clutter in my home. But now I have a remote for my TV, another for my VCR, and a third for my stereo-not to

Look for lots of laughs and plenty of action in The Mask this summer.

Well, you could duct-tape everything to the arms of your chair and pretend you're Captain Kirk on the bridge of the Enterprise, or wait for ASG's universal infra-red remote to come to a store near you. It won't

just control a VJ, it will control any game the VJ can play thanks to a built-in game controller dock. And yes, it will work on all the other toys you techno- junkies out there love-TV, CD, VCR, etc. Suggested retail price is $39.99. ASG Technologies, keeping America free from clutter.

"ACTION? -

A speculator Market Fueling Downturn

nless you’re in the comic book business U you probably haven't heard about the spec-

ulator fiasco of the summer of 1993. It is to the comic book industry what October of 1929 was to Wall Street, and the impact is still being felt. Why should you know about it? Because it set a few dangerous trends in motion that, like it or not, will be around for a while. Why should you care? Because it might push some comic books off the shelves of your local comic book store, and might affect the quality and content of those that remain.

Oddly enough, it was the growing success of comic books as a business that set the industry up for a fall. A ` great deal of attention on TV, in print, and in business cir- cles began to attract investors and speculators, who saw comic books not as entertainment, but as col- lectibles that could be resold for a quick profit. To many of the speculators, comic books were not a media or an art form, but things to be bought and sold.

Be that as it may, the spec- ulators were a new market. They bought the books in fistfuls-they had to show a decent return on their invest- ment. So the major comic book companies decided to cash in. They began market- ing their books to attract speculators. They sold comics in bags. They fea- tured hot artists. They came up with gimmicks like gold foil, die-cut covers, glow-in- the-dark covers, and even holograms. And of course they used all the old tricks: if a title was hot it got a spin- off, if a character was hot he made crossovers (do you remember a couple of months when the Ghost Rider was on the cover of every- thing?) and devastating, earth-shaking, changing-the- world-as-we-know-it plots. And if the book became a

hit? They put out a second edition. And a third. And then a collected edition. It all cli- maxed with the death of Superman. And the comic book companies, distributors, and stores made money hand over fist-for a while.

Then the bottom dropped out. The market was saturat- ed, and none of the specula- tors were making money on what they bought any more. They left, and only then did the comic companies see the damage they had done to themselves. The core market, the regular readers who bought the same book month in, month out, had been leav-

ing in droves while the spec- ulator rage was on. The peo- ple who actually went home and read the stories had got- ten fed up and decided to spend their money else- where. Retailers and distribu- tors were stuck with a glut of unwanted books.

What to do? On your next visit to the comic book store, spend a little time searching shelves. Take a chance on an independent, on a company like Dark Horse, Kitchen Sink, Blackball, or Slave Labor; on a character like Bone or CUD. Buy it and take it home. Not to sell it later, but to read and enjoy.

Lion King may Rule the Box Office this Summer

he people at Disney studios have a new T animation block- buster set to take the

country by storm this Summer. Following the criti- cal and commercial success of The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and the top-grossing animated film of all time, Aladdin, the people at Disney have assembled the vocal talents of James Earl Jones, Matthew Broderick, Jeremy Irons and Whoopie Goldberg, the musical tal- ents of Elton John and Tim Rice, and the academy award winning work of the Disney Animation Studios to bring The Lion King to the big screen.

The Lion King is some- thing of a departure for Disney. For one thing, it’s based on an original story, rather than an adaptation of a familiar one. For another, this is the first Disney fea- ture that throws out the old rule, “you gotta have a human in there.” Lion King is a 100 percent talking ani- mal movie. Set on the plains of Eastern Africa, the cast includes brave lions, evil hyenas, wacky wart hogs, wise baboons, and lots and lots of wilde- beests-all in an allegory about growing up and accepting respon- sibilities. -

Simba the lion cub is des- tined to one day lead his people and preserve the “circle of life" or balance of nature. But Simba is young and sees life as all fun and adventure, and spends most of his time playing with Nala, another lion. When Simba’s father Mufasa is killed, the evilion Scar sees a chance at power. He con- vinces Simba that his father died because of him, and in shame Simba slinks off to the jungle to hang out with a wart hog named Pumbaa

and a meerkat called Timon. But one day Nala-who has grown into a beautiful lioness-tracks him down and explains to Simba that bad times have fallen on the pride, and only he can put things right again. Maybe it’s hormones, maybe it’s the advice of the baboon shaman Rafiki, or maybe it’s just destiny, but Simba returns home for the big showdown with Scar and his hyena flunkies, Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed (Ed?). Along the way are laughs, action and tender moments, all set to music.

The big hype surrounding the Disney movies of the past decade has been the music, and The Lion King is no exception. Elton John provides the vocals written by Tim Rice, whose credits include Evita, Jesus Christ Superstar, and Aladdin. There should be some strange stage shows next Oscar night based on their work. Hans Zimmer wrote the background music and introduced authentic African rhythms and instru-

ments into the score. Look for the CD to top the pop charts.

But the real reason for going is the fantastic animation. More than 600 anima- tors worked for three years to create more than one million drawings. Extensive research in Africa shows through in each background, making the landscape a character in its own right. Like the cave sequence in Aladdin and the ballroom scene in Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King has a set piece that pushes the art and technology of animation to its limits: a wildebeest stampede. If you thought the Gallimimus in Jurassic Park were impres- sive, you need to see this movie.

But the best work that the animators at Disney do is the stuff you never notice; working with a drawing until the audi- ence forgets it’s a

drawing, and starts to see it instead as a person. Providing the voices for these characters are some of the top names from film, television, and Broadway. It seems as if the creators came up with a wish list of who they wanted in the film, and the producers had enough clout to make it happen. For the elder lion king Mufasa, who else but James Earl Jones? For a young male lion coming of age in the world like Simba? Matthew Broderick, of course (with Jonathan Taylor Thomas of TV’s Home Improvement playing the cub Simba). And if vil- lainy has a voice it must be Jeremy Irons (House of the Spirits) as Scar.

Tiger the King of the Hand-held Jungle

ey kids! Remember Quiz Wiz? You know, pop ina cartridge, slip in a quiz book and test your trivia knowledge while driving Mom and Dad insane with the little bleeps? Well it's still out there, and the company that brings it and a wide variety of other games and toys to you is Tiger Electronics.

Tiger started 15 years ago producing electronic games and components, and they are still going strong. The company grew and began putting out its own product line. Now Tiger has licens- ing agreements with film, television, and video game companies, and produces games and toys based on popular characters. Have you ever been browsing the isles of your local toy store and been boggled by the Full House board game? Amazed by the Saved by the Bell dolls? Intrigued by the Super Dave Mobile Stunt Center? Tiger is behind them all.

But the cash cows at Tiger are their hand-held electronic games. Completely self-contained with a liquid crystal dis- play, you can find one based on your favorite movie, cartoon, television show, or video game, no matter what your favorite may be. We’re serious. They have all the Disney stuff, from Little Mermaid to Aladdin to the yet-to-be- released Lion King-even classics like Sleeping Beauty or 101 Dalmations.

Like action movies? They make games based on Demolition Man, Jurassic Park, and the Shadow. Say you're more of a

216 Electronic Gaming Monthly

science fiction fan? They've got Star Trek. They've got Aliens. Comic book fan? X-Men, Spider- Man, Superman, and lots of Batman. Video game junkie? Sonic 2, Street Fighter II, and new this summer, Mortal Kombat (which is looking to be their best seller ever). Simpsons? Yup. Home Improvement? Yup. Beavis and Butt-head? God help us, yes.

Tiger Electronics keeps finding innovative ways to grab your attention. One of their new ideas is talking games, where the charac- ters provide commentary and advice. Another is using, of all things, bar codes. Yes, those things you see at the supermarket check-out counter. Games using the new technology will have a slot where you can fit in a bar code card and make the character get bigger, get faster, or get an extra life. They even supply blank cards so you can cut the bar code off your pack of Twinkies (or whatever), glue it on, slip it into the game, and see what hap- pens. Can you imagine mixing Sleeping Beauty with, say, Jolt cola?

They're fun, they're inexpen- sive, and just think how many family car trip disasters could be avoided if parents tossed a few Tiger electron- ic games to kids in the back seat?

Tiger Electronics just about has the market cornered on cool licenses for its hand-held electronic games. From Jurassic Parkto Star Gate— they got 'em all.
