cost about $200 and it hardly is portable. Not going to some kind of a color screen is the first major problem

with the system. For $200 you get a two-color screen—red and black. Why? Probably cost. This is 3-D and you need two screens. As we saw with the old TurboExpress from NEC, good quality, high-resolution LCD screens are VERY expensive. So Nintendo is going to keep costs down by giving us red LCDs on a black background. One would have thought that they learned their lesson from their no-color Game Boy. Strike one. The games that were shown were nothing to get excited about. The fighting game—Teleroboxer, had the best 3-D imaging. Essentially it was Super Punch-Out with aliens. Their pinball game had a backward sloping playfield, kind of like their just-released Super Pinball for the Super NES. And, the best for last! It is no secret that Nintendo always launched their new game systems with a Mario game. For this system they didn't even have the courtesy to create something new. We get the ORIGINAL Mario game! Remember that one? Mario and Luigi jump up and punch the gird- ers which flip the enemy over (remember the crabs?), and then they kick the bad guys off the screen for points. Yep, we now get it in almost 3-D. On Nintendo's behalf, the games were unfinished and less than half done so they could improve. Still, not a great selection of carts to show off the 3-D potential of the system. Strike two. Portable? Did anybody say portable? Perhaps. It will give you seven hours of play time on six AA batteries, but where do you put it? You need your hands free to hold the controller and with the tripod mount

Greg Deutschlander

Eau Claire, WI

(Ed. It's good to see that people aren't ready to write off the Duo just yet. Your ideas about supporting the system and giving "the little guy" a chance to resurrect a market are great. However, you'll have a very tough battle indeed, Greg. We con- tacted a number of people such as Don Shirley from Working Designs (a company which developed games for the TG-16). They all had the same response. We were told that you would first need a lot of tech- nical support from Japan to help you with the development system. A thorough knowledge of Japanese would be neces- sary to translate the documentation of this system. You would also need a six-figure (roughly $100,000- 250,000) budget to produce and market your product. If you wanted to do a chip-based game, expect to shell out even more money. Don't for- get about licensing fees! To make matters even worse, you're looking at a 9-12 month lead time! All in all, everyone we talked to seemed to think there would be very little or no chance of pulling off a new Duo game. The Japanese, at this point, are more likely to be interested in 32-Bit software for their upcoming NEC FX sys- tem. Maybe you could try that. As for the Duo, it looks like it's officially dead.)

THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT

It's been a while since I’ve felt the need to write a letter to the editor, but recent complaints I've been reading in this col- umn have inspired me. Bear in mind, though, | will offer no solutions, only com- mentary. First, let me qualify my creden- tials before | get to the point. Having recently reached the age of 30, | can proudly say that | was there when the home video game revolution started. | can still remember being the proud owner of the first home video game, a dedicated console that played 10 different versions of Pong. There was no option for a com- puter-controlled opponent. What options there were, were accessed by manually flipping toggle switches. There was no color, only black, white and grey. Believe it or not, we thought that this dinosaur was the greatest thing since the invention of the wheel! Since then I’ve been through an Atari 2600, 5200, 7800, Colecovision, the Crash of ‘84, 8-Bit NES, Sega Master System, Game Boy, Game Gear and now a Sega Genesis. I’ve also managed to raise a 4 1/2 year-old son who can sound- ly kick my butt at every Sonic game made! My point is, I’ve never lost interest in video games over the years, even though I've collected my fair share of lumps and _ bruises. | keep hearing people complain _ about manufacturers who drop support for a given system after they develop the next . Step in technological progress. I’ve learned to live by three hard and simple — rules: 1) No matter what leading-edge system you buy, within one year, some- one will come along with something bet- ter. 2) Within two to three years, support i i wane as that

held true. ~ Christopher R. Wells Fort Wayne, IN. (Ed. You remember Colecovision? Boy. Chris, you're really getting along in years! [just jokin’]. Seriously, though, you raise some very valid points. One thing that you. said needs to be clarified. If you've spent $500, $1,000 or more on games, and a new system comes out, it can be a pretty bitter pill to swallow. On the other hand, if a new game system costs $400 and peo- ple complain about the price, | have a piece of advice—DON'T BUY IT! The

24 Electronic Gaming Monthly

people who are complaining should remember the lessons that Chris has learned over the years.)

WHERE'S THE BEEF?

While reading reviews of the games in your magazine, | have noticed a disturb- ing trend. It seems to me that in many of the new games, the Genesis versions are bigger and better. Shaq-Fu for the Genesis has more fighters than the Super

The Super NES SSF2 has 32-Megs. The Genesis has 40, but what's the difference?

the Genesis has 8 more Megs than the Super NES version. What's going on here? Does Nintendo expect us to buy their games just because they have the Nintendo stamp on them?

Michael Murphy

Eau Claire, WI

(Ed. First of all, you should ask the com- panies that made the games why they don't have the extra Megs, levels or fight- ers. Sega and/or Nintendo didn't make the games that you're talking about. Most of the decisions to add characters, levels and other stuff is up to the manufacturer of the game. Second of all, as far as Super SF2 goes, those extra Megs don't necessarily mean that the Genesis ver- Sion is better than the Super NES ver- sion. Some people may argue that the Super NES version is actually better than the Genesis version. But we won't open that can of worms!)

NUDITY IN GAMES?

Games in the future will definitely, most positively, have nudity in them. Other countries have nudity in their advertising, as well as some of their video games. Do you think our country will ever go that far? Please respond.

No Name

Las Vegas, NV (Ed. It is very doubtful that you will ever see full frontal nudity in a video game in America. When you start talking about other countries, | take it for granted that you're talking about Japan. There are major differences between what we in America deem socially acceptable, and what the people of Japan see as accept- able. These differences are mostly cultur- al in nature. When some of the games from Japan come to America, certain things must be omitted. An example of which is any kind of nudity. Due to strong opposition by parent's groups, consumer groups and others, it is unlikely that you will see nudity in video game platforms such as the Super NES or Genesis any time soon.)

it would do r Super NES. A ing he arcades!

to the Sega CD. ou how | think Sega ripped me off. Last as, | planned on buy- ing the Sega CD thinking that it was going to be the ultimate game system. So like a goof, | bought it. Now | admit that there are a few decent games for it, but most of the games are 48-hour productions! This year, I’m going to buy a 3DO and sell my Sega CD. My question is, will the ЗОО be: a fly-by-night system, or is it as good as it seems?

26 Electronic Gaming Monthly

World Heroes 2 Jet has become a favorite at arcades. Will it come to the home systems?

Uriah Reppert Madison, WI (Ed. The ЗОО is an excellent system. With games like Samurai Shodown, Star Control 2 and Shockwave, the 3DO is def-

initely making a name for itself. Many peo- —

ple think that the Sega CD is also an excellent system. Both have their strong points and their weak points. Selling your Sega CD was the right thing to do if you weren't happy with it. Hopefully, you'll be happier with whatever else you buy.)

| have owned a ЗОО since last

Christmas, and it is awesome in every way. With a ton of hot, new titles, and the release of the new Goldstar system, | think that 1995 looks to be a good year. However, what has happened to the MPEG add-on? | am aware that the CD-i has their MPEG unit on the shelves, with plenty of disk movies to go with it. Is it still going to be produced for the 3D0?

Vince Zannelli

Moreno Valley, CA

(Ed. Well Vince, good things come to those who wait! Rumor has it that the ЗОО MPEG unit should be out in February or March. Now you'll be able to watch all of your movie favorites right from your 3DO! Although the quality of the video is not that of the larger, more costly. laser-disc movie players, the video quality of the 3DO with the MPEG add-on is not too shabby!

DESIGN YOUR OWN SHOOTER

Having received and read your November issue, | must say that | am most impressed with the "International Outlook" section. This just may be because the grass is always greener on ~ the other side of the fence, but most of the games highlighted in. this section seem superior to many | have : here. In my. Opinion, the best of these games appears to be Dezaemon, the shooter where you can design your own games. | would like. to know how soon we will be seeing it on - the Super NES. | would certainly love to

upcoming months if a company decides to buy the title. Dezaemon is truly a unique game, especially if you always wanted to design your own game!)

CROSS-LICENSING ~

| own a Super NES, Sega CD and a ЗОО. It's old news that Samurai Shodown and Super Street Fighter Il Turbo are being ported over to the 3DO. Logic sug- gests that these translations will be exact in every detail. But why would SNK, who owns a competing system, allow for an exact translation for Samurai Shodown to be made, knowing that people will now have a choice: Buy their system for $400 with Samurai for an additional $200, or buy a 3DO for $400 and an exact port of Shodown for $60? This is a confusing and highly debatable issue.

ji

Rufus Williams

Brooklyn, NY

(Ed. First of all, keep in mind that Samurai Shodown is not exactly a new game. It

has been around for quite some time, and

SNK could probably make more money by

licensing it out. Second, soon most

Neo»Geo titles will cost only $60-70, with

Samurai Shodown will be re-created exactly for its much-anticipated 3DO release.

` KING OF FIGHTERS? NOT!

| purchased The King of Fighters ‘94 as soon as it came out. Okay, 194 Megs, right? Then why the repeated graphics, sound and animation? Is this some kind of new generation NeoGeo game that is built to be of $60 quality? Samurai Shodown has 118 Megs, the animation was better and the graphics were not too far off from KOF ‘94. | came to some sort of idea on why this might be, actually two ideas. One is that the game has some sort of super secret that will unleash the teal The King of Fighters ‘94 game. The other is SNK realized this game would shortly be out on the NeoGeo CD-ROM, selling for $60 or less, so SNK made it very cheaply. All | know is that | paid $200 for a game that could pass as a Super NES game. The endings kinda stink, too. There are typos in the after-match trash talk, and the final Boss, Rugal, is the cheapest guy l've ever fought. The blood is missing as well as Mai's chest. | heard a rumor about a blood code but I’m so upset anyway | don't even care.

melted.

(Ed. The letters that get printed are chosen by our editors as being timely, raising up-to-date questions on issues concerning the video game industry and certain titles. We get anywhere from one to three hundred letters a day! Obviously, with numbers like that, we can't open every piece of mail. The letters that are most likely to be published are those that reflect concerns or issues facing gamers at the time they are received. In other words, the more current and relevant the letter, the more likely it is to go into the magazine. We have gotten some really weird stuff over the years. Everything from cans of Spam to old socks have at one time or another turned up in our mail! We've even gotten letters that have been quite disturbing in nature. [Like the one from a guy who thought that Sonic the Hedgehog was a Communist!] Most of the time it's great to hear from our readers. You wouldn't believe some of the ideas we've gotten from all of you in the past! Keep writing those letters, everybody! Remember, penmanship doesn't count!)

ZAPP!

Think you've heard all the weird stories? Here’s another one! | just purchased the 32X and | own the original Sega Genesis and Sega CD. | hooked up the 32X and all of a sudden, a brown-out occurred in my house! When the electricity returned, | unhooked the 32X and inside the circuit board on my Genesis, two of the chips inside had exploded! This not only wrecked my Genesis, but also my Sega CD and my new 32X! That $150 peripher- al cost me $450 worth of damages!

Andy Michelson Glen Ellyn, IL (Ed. We’ve heard weirder! Read on!)

Last night | went to turn on my Super NES to play my new game, Super Metroid. When | turned on the television, there must have been a power surge because my TV blew up and my copy of Super Metroid melted all over my Super NES!

Does this mean that there is going to be a sequel for one of my favorite. games? | also saw an ad for the 3DO ver- Sion of Super Street Fighter Il Turbo except it didn't have the traditional type- face and it had an MA-13 rating on it! I'm confused!

Evan Nicoll-Johnson

Modesto, CA

(Ed. As far as we know, Super Street Fighter Il Turbo for the ЗОО does not have an MA-13 rating. This is based on the fact that we have the box for it in the office and it has no rating on it. It would surprise us if they were to slap a rating like that on this game. As for a sequel to Secret of Mana, Square of Japan is work- ing on releasing it sometime in '95. Hopefully it will make it to America, as the first was very popular.)

Fans of Secret of Mana may be rewarded with a sequel in 1995. Keep your fingers crossed!

QUARTERMANN'S CHEAT SHEET

Killer Instinct is one of the hottest new arcade fighting games around. Killer Instinct offers 10 different characters to choose from, including the fiery Cinder and the reptilian Riptor. This game offers three different intensities of both punches and kicks, which can lead to three-, five- and even 10-hit combos. Here are just some of the awesome moves that you can do. From Chief Thunder's Tomahawk Throw to Fulgore's Fierce Uppercut, I’m Sure you will be adequately pleased with your move selection. Don't get behind in the times. Bring this page with you to the arcades to get a step ahead of your opponents.

QUARTERMANN'S CHEAT SHEET,

You wanted more tips for Samurai Shodown ll and we've got ‘em. Be the envy of all your friends with these awesome new moves. Try out these characters' Doll Moves to transform into a miniature doll version of yourself. Then terrify your opponents by using your characters’ Fatality Move. These moves will temporarily break your opponent's sword in two and can only be performed when your Rage Gauge is maxed out. Strike quickly before it returns to normal. Be the first to use these against others in the arcades. Note: These moves are with each character facing right. The moves are opposite for the character facing left.

„MORTAL KOMBAT Ill EXCLUSIVE!... NBA JAM TOURNAMENT SLAM!

-~ DIDDY TO BE SEQUEL STAR... -.VIRTUA BOY BITES THE BIG ONEI... SATURN ТО MELD WITH 32X?... SONIC GETS CHAOTIC ON 32X!... NEPTUNE TAKES SEGA PORTABLE!...

...Forget about modulating the deflectors and get ready to go to warp with the latest interstellar edition of the only gossip column with phasers strong enough to burn a hole through the bad guys and get at the dirt. So put on your power-ups, get rid of the Supervolts and welcome to the one place you'll see Sega and Nintendo in the same sentence! We're dishing up the over-the- counter gossip here ... The Q-Mann has the right prescription to start you out, beginning with confirmation that NBA Jam Tournament Edition has been fully coded and submitted to Nintendo and Sega for approval. Acclaim is readying their big mar- keting machine to slam dunk the game onto store shelves with ads planned to line the airwaves and stretch under every rock around ... Out of the Nintendo camp, the Q is hearing that the Big N is resting on its Donkey Kong glory for too long, with plans already under way to upgrade Diddy Kong from sidekick to gaming superstar with another ACM Silicon Graphics gaming miracle that might even push the 40-Meg barrier. Put it on your list now kiddies, as the Q-Mann hears that Diddy will strike hard next November in a store near you...

...While we're on the subject of DK, Sigeru Miyamoto, the man behind Donkey Kong Country and the Mario Brothers games, is coming to the United States to work on Pilotwings 2 with Paradime Simulations. They used to be a defense contractor, making aircraft simulators, and they're now packing some high-tech flight simulation tools that Nintendo and Sigeru intend on utilizing for the newest Pilotwings (did the Q hear someone mention aerial dogfights?) ... In other rumors dawning from the Land of the Rising Sun, Virtua Bomb, er, | mean Virtua Boy, that new techno-cheap, two-colored unit that doubles as a headrest left the Quartermann looking for his Intellivision. The unit will ring in at around $200 next April with three titles, including the original Mario Brothers title, Space Pinball and Telero-Boxer, a boxing game. No major licensees have signed on to make games for the portable and they don't have any plans to. Yours truly hears the word on the street in Tokyo is that the Virtua Boy will blow up real good when it comes to market...

...In other news from the Godzillas of gaming, it turns out that Capcom's main man Joe Morici or Sega's main man Tom Kalinske may be trading in their Blasters for Mouse ears. The industry is buzzing over talk that one of these wonder white shirts will be taking over the reigns of the vacant president's chair at Disney ... Time to tune into the continuing Sega Saturn saga. This month's chapter has Sega spinning so fast they're almost invisible, with rumors flying that the company intends on trying to make the 32X compatible with the Saturn. We'll know for certain when the Saturn is released in April. The Q got the inside Scoop from a source close to the development that the U.S. release will be decided upon based on the number of titles available for release ... Staying in Sonic's court, Sonic Chaotic, the working title for Sega's 32X Sonic game, has been in the works for over a year and now has a tentative release date of June of this year! The soft brings Sonic, Knuckles, Tails and Red Sonic together in a title that the Q hears Sega is trying to make strong on play. Sonic Chaotic will be programmed on Silicon Graphics workstations and be the premiere title to use a new technology that the big ‘S’ is hoping will knock out Diddy Kong next year ... Also new for the 32X, Sega programmers have told the Q that a new version of Tomcat Alley is under development that will take gamers to new heights and will utilize all of the 250,000-polygons-per-second rendering powers of the 32X in tandem with the Genesis and Sega CD...

...As | told you in an earlier edition of Q News, the Neptune, Sega's name for their 32X stand-alone configuration, will hit next Christmas for $149.99 and will be packaged with Sonic Chaotic and/or Tomcat Alley ... Sega's new 16-Bit portable, to be called Venus, is coming into sharper focus. The unit will play Game Gear and 16-Bit Genesis cartridges and will cost $179.99; it's basi- cally a Mega Jet with a screen of Turbo Express quality and resolution. The system specs are in hand and if it can withstand the Steep price and cluttered shelves, then the Q predicts well-deserved success for this long-overdue dream machine ... Mortal Kombat III will have a new look with 12 new characters and four old ones! Each character will come equipped with 10 moves rather than the four of their predecessors. Hitting arcades in March, only Sonia, Kano and Liu Kang are now known by the Q to be returning. We are also hearing that Liu Kang's cousin may have to appear in Liu Kang's place, because legal problems may keep Liu Kang out of the game. Johnny Cage will not be in Mortal Kombat IIl, his character has been taken out of the sequel completely ... The countdown continues until the next generation of EGM hits in just 30 days. Till we chow down again on the greatest gaming gossip in the business, | remain the professional guru of gaming gossip—not a used cartridge salesman—with the news that some hate, many love, but only | get to do...

NINTENDO AND PARADIGM TEAM UP TO MAKE ULTRA 64 FLIGHT SIMULATION

Nintendo of America recently announced that they have reached an exclusive development contract with Dallas-based Paradigm Simulation, Inc., to create a three-dimensional game using Paradigm's real-time soft- ware technology for the Nintendo Ultra 64, the 64-Bit home gaming system being developed in conjunction with Silicon Graphics.

Under the agreement, Paradigm will work directly with a creative team headed up by Shigeru Miyamoto, cre- ator of Nintndo's smash hits, Donkey Kong Country and the Super Mario Brothers series.

Through their combined efforts, the team plans to release the yet-untitled game in late 1995.

"We're honored to be working with Mr. Miyamoto's team, true geniuses in the world of home entertainment," said Don Toupal, president of Paradigm Simulation, Inc. “Paradigm Simulation will provide Mr. Miyamoto and his Nintendo development team with the best technical knowledge in the 3-D virtual reality industry. Together we'll develop a game that will bring technol- ogy, that was previously only available on high-end work stations, right into the

homes of consumers."

Founded in 1990, Paradigm Simulation, Inc., is a world leader in visual and audio simulation plus virtual reality software for use on Silicon Graphics computers.

Vega, Vision Works and AudioWorks (Paradigm Simulation's flagship prod- ucts) are recognized as the premier Software for development of real-time simulation and virtual reality applica- tions. Paradigm Simulation also offers custom development of databases and applications, as well as training and consulting in the real-time simulation, virtual reality and entertainment fields.

"Paradigm Simulation has a long- standing relationship with Silicon Graphics and brings many years of experience in visual and audio simula- tion to this relationship with Nintendo," said Howard Lincoln, chairman of Nintendo of America. "They are recog- nized worldwide as a leader in 3-D vir- tual reality software and consequently will be developing a game to maximize the capabilities of the Nintendo Ultra 64 system. They will work well as a team."

NINTENDO ACQUIRES WORLDWIDE RIGHTS TO VIRTUAL DISPLAY TECHNOLOGY TO BE USED IN NEW VIRTUAL BOY 3-D SYSTEM FOR THE HOME

In other Nintendo news, the company has acquired a minority interest in Reflection Technology, Inc., of Waltham, MA, a private company.

The agreement is a milestone for Nintendo, because it is the first time that the video game leader has taken equity in a U.S.-based company.

Nintendo has also obtained world- wide licensing rights within the video game market for Reflection’s patented virtual display technology. The technol-

Кушт

оду will be used in Nintendo's 32-Bit RISC-based virtual reality system that will be introduced in Japan and to the world in April of 1995.

Reflection was founded in 1987 by a team of scientists from MIT with the aim to produce a breakthrough in LED (light emitting diode) technology. The resulting designs carry multiple worldwide patents. and have been extensively tested and can be manufactured for the mass mar- ket. Reflection's virtual displays are

miniature in scale, but appear full-size when held near the eye. By combining two of these LED displays together in one processing unit, the stereoscopic Virtual Boy produces 3-D graphics previously only available in advanced simulations systems that cost thou- sands of dollars.

"We are very excited to be working with the worldwide video game industry leader," commented AI Becker of Reflection Technology, Inc.

EARTHWORM JIM COMMERCIAL BECOMING A REAL MOUTHFUL

It seems as though the worm-eating grandmother who stars in the Earthworm Jim video game commer- cial has caused a few people to put their forks down and walk away from the dinner table in disgust.

After the numer- ous complaints the networks who aired f the commercial received, it has been pulled in some markets, including stations in Portland, OR,

Spokane, WA and Sacramento, CA.

The commercial features a grand- mother telling a “bedtime story” to her grandchil- dren featuring Earthworm Jim.

As the story goes on, the grandmother gets more and more excited, resulting in her stuffing her mouth with live earth- worms.

The commercial is intended to accen-

tuate the off-the-wall humor that is

present in the Earthworm Jim game. The commercial is nei-

ther

excessively violent nor is of an adult nature. The game por- trays an earthworm who sudden- ly finds him- self a super- hero— a real annelid with an attitude. Many viewers com- plained that the worm-eating grandma commercial was just too gross.

FLIGHTSTICK PRO FOR 300

CH Products is turning your living room into a cockpit. Now you'll have Some big-time control of your favorite ЗОО games.

The added maneuverability will come in handy with Doom when it's released for the 3DO.

The Flightstick Pro is the first analog joystick for the 3DO.

The joystick will work great with games like Domark's Flying Night- mares and other 3DO titles from

Crystal Dynamics. It will help improve your Scores and gives you a total arcade experience in the comfort of your own home.

However, the worms were plastic. David Perry, president of Shiny Entertainment, doesn't really under

stand what the big deal with the worms is all about. "With all of the sex, vio- lence and other rubbish on television, Earthworm Jim doesn't have any excessive violence or nudity," said Perry, Earthworm Jim creator.

MASTERS OF THE MAZE-AN INTERACTIVE GAME PLAYED ON TELEVISION

For the first time, gamers can actual- ly be inside a video game! A new television show called Masters of the Maze incorpo- rates video game technology with a TV game show format. The game chal- lenges participants and gives them an experience unlike anything they've ever experienced before. In the first round of Masters of the Maze, three teams of gamers are faced with a display screen and asked to identify a pixilated image as quickly as they can. Whoever identifies the image first is asked a related educational question. One member of the top two teams is

then fitted with a helmet (and an attached powercam) and a futuristic power suit studded with high-intensity sensors. After putting on the gear, the two are sent to the maze. Their part- ners use a joystick and a wall-mounted interactive video screen to steer their blind teammates. The team tries to get their team member through the maze as quickly as possible to achieve the

lowest total running time. The Hologram Maze Keeper gives informa-

tion, insight and other clues to the run- ner, who must face the Mirror Man and meet his challenges to move to the next phase of the game. At the Chamber of Knowledge, the runner must answer а pap question posed by each of the three guardians. Once through the chamber, the runner arrives at prize mountain and the final Total Running f Time is monitored against the other teams and prizes are awarded. Image Design and Marketing, creators of the Nintendo Power Glove for the 8-Bit Nintendo Entertain- ment System and spe- cial effects experts for movies like RoboCop 2, wanted to create an interactive tele- vision experience for kids and they developed the Masters of the Maze concept, a new innovation in television for kids. Nowadays it doesn’t take much to get

caught up in the maze of “glop” and and gunk in television programming for kids.

Image Design has answered the call as they embark on this interactive television project. It now airs on The Family Channel.

“The show is designed to allow viewers at home to get inside the video game,” says Richard

E Kline, Masters of the Maze co-executive producer.

"That is what it is designed to do, and we think that is exactly what it does. The kids seem to love it, and they definitely love the maze. Parents seem to like it too. They. watch and enjoy getting involved in the

= play during the first part of the game.

We've been

asked, 'Can this

really truly be interactive for the kids at home?' The

answer is a

resounding yes!

The program is hosted by JD Roth who is the former host of Fun House.

Masters of the

Maze airs regularly

weekdays at 5:30

p.m., Saturday at

10:30 a.m. and

Sunday at 11 a.m.

on The Family Channel.

The show appeals to video game enthusiasts who enjoy role-playing and strategy gamers who enjoy the chal- lenge of solving intricate puzzles.

60 AIRBORNE WITH MAGIC EDGE AND TAKE THE RIDE OF YOUR LIFE

Settle back into the Hornet-1 cockpit and crank down your flight harness. Verify your instruments, adjust your headset and check your throttle. Don't get too comfortable, because once the canopy closes, you'll find yourself in the middle of an interactive flight simulation experience surrounded by bogeys who want to blow you to bits.

The squadron commander has cleared you for take off, so take a deep breath and put the throttle to the fire- wall. You can actually feel the thunder of fighter jets passing overhead.

In the first quarter of operations, Magic Edge has had over 30,000 mis- sions flown and over 15,000 pilots have climbed into the interactive cockpit of their 12,000-square-foot facility located in Mountainview, CA.

The facility incorporates a combina- tion of special effects, thrills and cutting-edge cuisine.

The attraction was designed from the ground up by Magic Edge and was funded by video game and arcade giant NAMCO.

72 x Electronic Gaming Monthly

The Magic Edge experience begins the moment the guests walk across the diamond plate steel floor to check in and get their flight suits. Guests are briefed on the capa- bilities of the X-21 Hornet, a 21st-centu- ry, super cruise, multirole strike fighter.

There are plenty of challengers and they dogfight it out against each other while exploring hundreds of miles of beau- tiful landscapes. After the flight they are debriefed by their squadron leader and then guided through their triumphs and tragedies with an instant video replay. Magic Edge has plans to open up four more sites in Australia

this year.

Guests then ascend the metal steps to their air- craft and strap them- selves into the fully equipped cockpit. Networked together and under the command of their squadron leader, they embark on an inter- active sortie complete with barrel rolls, and mid-air battles.

the new entry by Data East into the ; rather large

fighting games. This game has a lot of ® things to offer, which hopefully will raise it into the elite at your local arcade. The game consists of nine assassins to choose from, all with an incredible number of moves and attacks: If you think that most fighting games are lack- ing fatalities, then this one sure won't disappoint. In the finished version, there will be at least 30 different fatali- ties. Besides the same old decapita- tion, maiming and murdering, you will be able to drop ocean liners on your opponent, put their likeness on the Mona Lisa, make them instantly naked and much, much more. There are also five hidden characters, all extremely interesting, such as: Prism, who can

AGE DRIVER ty Namco

This is the new racing game from Namco, and it is leaps and bounds bet- ter than Ridge Racer 1 & 2, which was regarding as pushing the video enve- lope. This game will rival even the now- legendary Daytona USA in graphic detail. Not only that, but this game is tons of fun to play! One Ace Driver machine is also capable of linking with three other machines, creating an eight-player, virtual driving experience. There are a number of different tracks to choose from as well, and as with most driving games, you can choose between an automatic transmission or a manual transmission. Ace is a good

enough game to be challenging, but it is not impossible. With a manual trans- mission you will have a better chance, as you will be able to take corners bet- ter. However, unlike in Daytona, an automatic doesn’t disqualify you from the race. (You may have to brake a lit- tle more, though.) One of the best fea- tures of the game is a dual, rearview mirror. Most

have one mir- ror at best, either in the middle or on the right or left side. Ace has one on both the left and right so it's easier to.see people coming at you. Another option not found in every driving game is that you can choose your car. There are four in all: Yellow Cyclone Racing, Team Red Lightning, Scuderia Blue Castle and

Green Island Motorsport. Each car has its own attributes such as speed, agility and durability (as in exactly how many times the car can hop a wall at 120 mph). If you're a fan of the famed Ridge Racer series, then you will no doubt like this one. If you want a bit more skill involved in your game play, then this is still your game—it breaks all previous Namco attempts at driving simulations. Really the only possible gripe about the game is that it handles so well and is so fluid that the program- mers seemed to think you had too much time—they shortened your time limit!

The Yellow Cyclone Racing car can exceed 253 miles per hour.

Watch out for the other cars, they try to bump your tires constantly.

Just like in every other racing game, it's a blessing to see that banner!

This game features several different road views, just like Ridge Race does.

Point | Blank is a

unique game by Namco that doesn't rely on dead » bodies and blood as a selling point. This game is much more a shooting gallery thana "good and bad guy" shooting game, as you shoot an apple William Tell-style off some- body's head, fire at bottles and birds flying out of barrels and more. However, this in no way makes it just a kid's game. There are 50 different levels in the game that are chosen randomly. Playing the game from beginning to end, a player will only see around 16 screens, so the game is different every time you play. The gun is very accurate, and to make it feel more realistic, the gun kicks back and the chamber opens and closes as if the player were shooting out an empty shell casing. The gun actually has new technology in it called the Advanced Algorithm Sensing PCB. This device makes the game six times more accurate than any other game currently on the- market. In English, you can place a hostage right in front of a terrorist, have the terrorist move from left to right and shoot him in the arm to prevent a situ- ation. Another use of this technology is in a scene where moving targets are heading over a mountain ridge, and by the time they reach the edge, they are almost half an inch, yet you can still blast them with surprising accuracy. Point Blank first debuted at

Besides the normal target shooting, you can also play number games.

the AMOA show in San Antonio, right alongside several other games in the exact same genre. Virtua Cop by Sega will be a huge competitor right next to L&L by Data East. Point Blank also has to worry about topping the company who has been very well known for their "shooters," American Laser Games. At the AMOA they pre- viewed Fast Draw, which is arguably the best by them so far. But as previ- ously stated, this game will not nec- essarily be competing against these others. Point Blank stands out for what it is: a shooting game that feels real but isn't violent. Another cool fea- ture in this game are the Sounds. When you fire the .45,it sounds very real. Not only that, but you can hear the empty shell casing hitting the ground. Here's a good example of how this game can go from a humor- ous to serious situation: There is a level in the game that simulates a , police firing range withtargets and red bull's-eyes lining up and down the level. A little later on, it looks like you may have to do the level again. However, this time instead of the black, human-shaped targets, you are firing at a strung-up cow, and you are awarded different points for shooting different parts of it. There are also a number of bonus levels in this game. One of these is a level where Several treasure chests fall to the ground and you must shoot one. This is a random

This is your selection; pick from the above four to start with.

bonus level where you might get either coins or a heart. The coins award points, and the heart gives an extra life. The humor in this game is unparalleled in the history of this type of game. Another example is a stage consisting of a man in a lake with piranha biting his rear end, and you must shoot the fish. However, the entire game is not won on accuracy alone. In one level, there is a Camaro you must disable, and to do so you may have to pump 150 shots into it. Point Blank is being rolled out even as | write this, and by that time Virtua Cop and Fast Draw will most likely be there as well. For a true “cops and robbers" and "shoot the bad guys" fan such as myself, | can't wait to go to my local arcade and get on PB. Be sure to watch upcoming issues of EGM? for expanded coverage.

This is the Camaro. You have to pump 150 shells into it to destroy it.

NINTENDO UNVEILS NEW SYSTEM AND

On Nov. 15 and 16 Nintendo of Japan held their annual trade event called the Shoshinkai Show. At this show Nintendo normally introduces the world to some of the new products that they have been working on.

This time the hot new item was their Virtual Boy. It is a true 3-D, 32-Bit, portable game system that will be coming out in the U.S. in April and will sell for $200. Technically it is a portable, as it will run on 6 AA batteries (for seven hours), but considering the size and weight of the unit, few people will want to use it as such. The systems at the show were run- ning off an AC power supply, so it should be available at launch as an option. It is running on a 32-Bit RISC processor but

The VB is too heavy to strap onto your head, so it sits on a minitripod.

with two screens; this CPU has to do double duty. The screens are called “mir- ror scanning LEDs" but they are just very

detailed red LEDs on a black back- ground. The sound is worth talking about, as itis true stereo, and the demos sound- ed great! Three games were playable at the show and two more will be ready by launch—all from Nintendo.

Nintendo also had a game with a work- ing title of Fighting Polygon. It utilizes the FX chip and is for the Super NES. When completed it should be 16-Meg. It played well and was only 40 percent done.

Other significant games at the show include: Mega Man 7 for the Super NES (You knew he would be back, right?); Kirby 2 for the Game Boy; Super Bomberman 3 for the Super NES and SimCity 2000 for the Super NES.

Check out the following pages for a closer look at the show's hottest games. Watch for more in the January issue of EGM”!

They told us that they are trying to figure out how to take pictures, We did ‘our best by recording the game through special 3-0 glasses while it was being demonstrated on a large screen TV in a totally black room.

We've seen similar games before on the NES and Super NES that have the playfield sloping away from you. This is more of the same with great sound effects and reasonably good playfield action.

ighting Polygon (tentative)

Debuting at the Shoshinkai Show was the fourth polygon FX chip game. With the exception of Vortex, this is also the third FX game from Big N. (But then again, all four have been made by Argonaut Software of U.K.)

You get about 13 fighters including some non-humanoid creatures like a huge praying mantis. Despite the rather blocky looks, the game moves quite smoothly and in a realistic fash- ion. (Keep in mind that the game is only about 40 percent finished.) When complete, FP will reach 16-Meg, mak- ing it the biggest FX game yet!

Jez San, Argonaut's president, claimed that FP will be a true 3-D fighting game complete with lateral movements. Will this be the last word in Super Famicom fighting games?

Loaded with nifty camera angles and a truly bizarre cast of characters, FP is really shaping up to be a hot contender for showing off the Super NES power without any major hardware upgrades!

Argonaut has gone out of their way to make this fighter stand on its own!

Look out! We just got word that FP is about to hit the States—stay tuned!

The super-complex simulation game in which you play for the control of ancient China is back. Because the characters you can choose have incredibly similar names and faces, be sure to check their abilities and other Skills before you commit yourself to something that you may regret later on. After that, it's off to heavy-duty strate- gy, diplomacy and bureaucracy! Keep the manual handy while playing this massive simulation.

Another intense strategy game from Koei. Set in World War II, you can choose to play as either the Japanese or American military, complete with incredibly detailed fighting units from the largest battleships and aircraft carriers down to destroyers and more. Unless you're a real sucker for pun- ishment or a brilliant strategist, stick with U.S. forces, especially in the later stages of the war when America enjoyed overwhelming numerical superiority in many ways.

Have you ever wanted to raise and train your own thoroughbreds for fun, glory and profit, but your Mom wouldn't hear of having a horse parked in the garage? Well, here's your chance to play the part of a wealthy breeder and raise some ponies to be great stallions of speed. Set up your training sched- ules, enter horses in races and try to groom some contenders for major der- bies. And the best part is, there's no manure shovel necessary!

Super Pachinko War zn ma ШШ |

Unknown Release| Price: Y6,900

One of Japan's most popular gam- bling games has been taken over by the usual Banpresto gang (Ultraman, Kamen Rider, Gundam and Roa) as a weird fighting game. By hammering balls into certain pockets on the play- ing field, two fighters at the bottom of the screen will unleash punches, kicks and other attacks upon the opponent. This is one fighting game that relies on luck more than skill!

Truly an oddball concept! Watch the bot- tom of the screen as your mindless characters duke it out with every ball that gives them some kind of Й command

New options have been added to help or another.

you out in the many battles to come!

И Super Family Stadium 4 cud

Namco's Family Stadium series has long been the yardstick for measuring the quality of baseball games in Japan. For the newest installment, the latest data of all 12 Japanese pro teams will be incorporated for the start of the '95 season including trades and free agent signings. New in this ver- Sion is the modification of the pitching System that makes it possible to adjust the height of throws. This game still has the highest standards!

All 12 Japanese teams’ stats have been placed into this cool cart.

Go For lt Tonosama | юш | Actin — |

Earth is in peril, and the only people who know of the danger are a foolish Japanese warlord and an equally stu- pid prince. Unfortunately, nobody takes them seriously, so they have to take matters into their own hands and set out on foot across Japan, Asia and into space. The fools are helped by loyal servants who blow up in dire emergencies. Nothing serious here folks, just for laughs!

This strange, quirky game can really make anyone laugh at its silliness!

Super Chinese Fighter m — |

Jack and Ryu are back, along with the evil, galactic warlord who they thought they had finally dispatched in the last game. The boys must fight a big posse of the warlord's henchmen (hench creatures?) one-on-one to put a stop to his sinister plans. If you're not in the mood for saving the world, you can just choose a character and scrap it out against the 13 other opponents!

There's also a Vs. Mode for taking on one of your little pals!

M UE Nickelodeon GUTS- DO YOU HAVE IT?

The smoking hot race game that competed on the highways of Japan has been upgraded. The 'game is always played with two Screens. In Single-player Mode, the top screen shows your machine from a variety of angles that makes for cool viewing, while the lower Screen shows your car from behind. In Two-player Mode, the two Screens show both machines from the rear. For racing purists, tune over 50 different parts and compo- nents. Mastering four-wheel drifts is the shortcut to victory!

A split view is present to show you your car at different angles.

Many different styles of tracks are present in this game—each one is unique in its own way by all kinds of methods. Lots to do here.

y, and you'll make it

through the Option Screen alive!

Super Bombliss

The game that once came bundled with Tetris has been made indepen- dent in response to popular demand. The rule is simple: in Tetris-style, line up falling blocks in complete rows. When a row is filled, all bombs in the row explode, blowing up ordinary blocks within range. The trick is to set major chain reactions to clear the screen. A Two-player Mode exists, too.

B Unknown Release | Unknown Price |

This might come as a bit of a sur- prise, but Namco, one of Japan's biggest software names, has never released an RPG for a 16-Bit system. So what do they do for their first 16-Bit RPG? Shoot for a big 32 Megabits!

In this medieval epic, Namco flexes its programming muscle. New sound drivers were incorporated and the fight- ing takes place in real-time!

The fighting sequences offer a real-time battle just like Final Fantasy III!

Be sure to set off as many bombs as possible to clear the screen fast!

oh пуд

Do you like to lose friends really fast? Then challenge them at Super Bombliss’ special Two-player Mode that will become one intense headache and

most likely rile up your friends!

New sound drivers were incorporated, so it enables clear playback of more than 100 shouts and spells! Expect not only a rich story, but also a great deal of

audio as well!

The heroes and villains of various Gundam, Ultraman and Kamen Rider animes and rubber monster shows team up to duke it out in this cute but full-featured lightning game. The fight- ers work in pairs with one character riding atop another character piggy- back style. By mixing and matching the top and bottom characters, it's possible to make your ideal battle unit.

1 January ‘95 Price: Y4,200

Jack and Ryu are chaperoning Crown Prince Bokuchin to a town where a festival is under way. Unfortunately, the boys get too busy with the festivities and fail to stop the prince from unwittingly opening a magical seal that keeps vile mon- strosities in the netherworld. Now they must stop the escaped monsters and return them to their rightful place before things get completely out of hand! Many surprises await you here!

Pokonyan EJ Price: Y8,800

Pokonyan is the furry hero of a pop- ular anime for youngsters. Pokonyan must retrieve stolen cakes and good- ies from five unfriendly foxes while scooping up colorful fruits. This is entirely safe for really young kids as Pokonyan cannot die. There is no time limit, so it's probably not suited for serious gamers—just for toddlers.

TRICKMAN WANTS

Now that his Christmas shopping is done and all of the hustle and bustle is out of the way, Trickman Terry looks forward to what the next year holds. While he was on that thought (his brain isn't multitasking), he listed off two of the things he wanted to change for his New Year's resolution. The first one was to get a new car. The big old, white boat has seen better days, and maybe he can finally get a car that is from the 1980s or later! The second one was to get brain surgery so he could think of two or more things at once! The latter may never happen, but nev- ertheless, the boy can still do those tricks! Send your trick goodies in to:

Tricks of the Trade, Sendai, 1920 Highland Ave, Suite 222, Lombard, IL 60148.

This trick will give you al ai the planes including the X-2! Just access Passcode from the list of options. Now, enter the first three letters corre- sponding to the level you want and then add this spe- cial code on the end: LQG- 77K. Ex: To get to the Arkansas stage with all of the ships, enter the code CCT-LQG-77K. Here are the passwords:

Utah - M79 Arizona - 5KK Texas - MS7

From these options, choose Passcode then press A.

Data East has a brand-new game that will be available on the PlayStation and the Saturn when they reach the States. These shots are very preliminary; howev- er, we'll get more on this game at the Winter CES.

You play as a Tyron Cybernetics infor- mation technician, whose job it is to install an automated defense system on a base that protects the company's assets on the Duat colony. Suddenly the base comes under attack from a hostile force.

The base is equipped with droids, weapons and other defense systems that you can use by manipulating terminals strewn throughout the base. The enemies are attacking the base from all sides, and you will have to man gun turrets and other weapons in order to survive. If you cannot stop them, you will be slaughtered.

Incoming uses lots of polygons and tex- ture mapping to generate a realistic world. The action can get intense as you are one man trying to stop an army.

Be sure to look for more on these "next generation" games in the near future.

These scenes show off the enemy onslaught that strikes the Tyron Cybernatics plant. They're loaded with action and are totally unlike anything you've ever seen before. You won't believe your eyes!

NAMCO DISCUSSES THE MAKING OF RIDGE RACER FOR THE SONY PLAYSTATION!

EGM had the privilege of

going behind the scenes with Namco’s top brass to learn all of the details in the making of the arcade hit—Ridge Racer

for the PlayStation.

Q:

KS:

SY:

170

How long did it take to develop

the original arcade version of Ridge Racer?

It took about eight om months. That’s all?

That's for making the software itself. As for the hardware, includ-

ing the basic research for develop-

ing the System 21 and 22 boards, the whole thing took about six or Seven years. Once we developed the System 22 board, we decided to develop Ridge Racer. That took eight months.

How about the development period of the PlayStation ver- sion?

About the same length of time. Development got under way in a significant manner in April. So six months to seven months.

Is the PlayStation an easy platform to translate your coin- op games?

Not really. Our System 22 arcade

board and PlayStation are radical- ly different, so it's not especially

Electronic Gaming Monthly

The hot arcade hit Ridge Racer will be one of the first games to be out for the Sony PlayStation!

SY:

KS:

easy to port the game over.

So you had to start from scratch?

Essentially, yes.

Could you use existing data?

Well, in a way. Because it is a translation of an existing game, it’s not the same as making an entire- ly original title. But overall, includ- ing basic data, we had to redo the programming from scratch.

Of course, the number doesn’t necessarily stay constant for every frame. But we did push the performance envelope to the max with the arcade version.

Okay, then for the PlayStation version, how many polygons are shown per seconds?

SY:

The thing is because the archi- tecture of our arcade board and PlayStation are different, the way polygons are used in the two versions are somewhat dif- ferent. So it’s not really possible to give precise numbers of poly- gons because the comparison won't be on the same level. In PlayStation's case, Sony claims that it can display 360,000 poly- gons per second.

Does Ridge Racer approach the performance limits of PlayStation?

That's a hard question. It's our first PlayStation soft, so we're not really sure about the perfor mance potential of the system. Once we get more used to work- ing with PlayStation we'll have a better understanding about how many polygons we can display. Plus, depending on the program- ming techniques, the number of polygons: will change. But we do think that we have used much of PlayStation's performance potential.

How big, in megabits, are the arcade and PlayStation versions?

Well, the PlayStation version, being a CD-ROM, can hold 540 megabytes of data. But we didn't use all of that up.

That's right.

On the arcade Ridge Racer 2, there is a Two-player Option using two systems. Is it pos- sible for you to develop such a sequel using PlayStation's Two-system Interface Option?

That's a matter we have to con- sider from a technical aspect. Sony has said they will release a connection cable for hooking up two systems. But to do that, you have to also have two TV sets, so we don't really think there would be much use for it. Personally, | don't think people would be willing to haul another TV set over to play a two-player game. Generally speaking, | don't think there are too many Japanese households with two TV sets side-by-side.

Well personally, | would love it

SY:

it if you could make that option available for Ace Driver or enable four-player matches on Cyber Sled.

. We'll take that into consideration

(laugh).

So you're not considering the possibility of connecting two systems?

No, no, it's certainly a considera- tion, but for our first three PlayStation titles, we haven't made use of that feature.

Is the soundtrack of Ridge Racer identical for the arcade and PlayStation ver- sions?

Because the systems are not identical, we can’t use the sound data as is from the arcade ver- sion. But the soundtrack is essentially the same.

Is there a sound test?

Yes, there’s a Music Play Mode so you can just play the sound- track.

I see the PlayStation version has four cars you can choose. Do these have identical perfor- mance specs?

No. For example, there's one with excellent top speed but with weak grip. In contrast, another one has a lower top speed but with superb handling.

Can you alter the performance specifications of these cars using an Edit Mode?

That's not possible.

So the infuriating yellow Lamborghini is tuned the same way as the arcade version?

Yes, it's still darn fast (laugh).

With PlayStation's ape hanger controller, it may be difficult to control the brakes and accel- erator precisely since they are on or off. Will your NeGcon controller address this prob- lem?

SY:

Yes, we think our optional con- troller will give a more analog driving feel that will be much more subtle.

SY:

Do you have any plans to develop Ridge Racer for other game systems such as Saturn?

We haven't made any decisions to do so.

We saw the arcade Tekkan (tentative) at the Electronics Show and were impressed by its looks. Can PlayStation match that level of graphics?

The version you saw wasn't complete, and it will still be sig- nificantly improved. The PlayStation version should be

able to achieve the same level of SY:

graphic excellence when it is released next spring.

Will your joining Sony as a PlayStation licensee alter the composition of your busi-

ness? [eH

Not really, since we don't have

our own home system, we will SY:

consider all game systems for developing software. So no, we won't be only doing PlayStation software from now on. Of course, we do have to go with systems that make sense as a business. For instance, we just announced Star Blade

for 3DO for a December release.

We understand that PlayStation Ridge Racer is extremely inexpensive at

Some of the key people from Namco Mr. Shigeru Yokoyama, General Manager (left); Mr. Kouichiro Shigeno (center); and Ms. Tsuyumi Toyoda (right).

under Y6,000 in comparison to the Y8,000 to ¥10,000 price tags of 16-Bit cartridges.

Well, CD-ROM is inexpensive to produce physically. Also, as a maker of software, we think the prices of cartridges are too expensive. But the price we set for Ridge Racer is pretty tough for us. That said, the ¥5,800 price we set should have a strong impact on players. We hope to achieve the same sorts of prices with Cyber Sled and Star Blade, but we'll have to. see.

But even if CD-ROMs are inex- pensive, doesn’t the larger software entail higher devel- opment costs?

It certainly does, but since we want the system to become solidly established, we kept the price down. So we took the plunge in hopes of becoming a price leader.

How about a message to your fans at EGM?

Like the old saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words,” we believe that if you see the PlayStation Ridge Racer in motion you should be able to see that it isn’t just a pale imita- tion of the arcade version. We would be delighted if you would buy it, play it and enjoy it!

NEC LAUNCHES NEW PC-FX

GAME SYSTEM!

With all the new video game systems being launched in Japan this holiday sea- son, EGM traveled to Tokyo to get the inside scoop on all of them. This month we visited NEC to learn more about their PC-FX system.

Q:

Originally, we thought that

this machine was supposed to be a 32-Bit next generation system up from the PC Engine, but PC-FX seems to have moved closer to the PC 9800 series personal com- puters rather than a game machine.

1 believe you got that impression because of our announcement

that we will be releasing an

optional interface for using the PC Engine Duo as a PC CD-ROM drive, but we decided against releasing them because not many PC games are designed for use with single speed drives any more. So, no we weren't focusing on making PC-FX a personal computer-type machine. As you know, PC Engine's games often use animated cinemas. So we wanted to develop a system that could provide top-notch visual per- formance at high speed. So rather than evolving toward personal com- puters, this machine is a direct evolu- tionary descendant of PC Engine.

Will there be more emphasis on 3-D type games with poly- gon graphics?

PC-FX is capable of doing that. The game machines of other companies are equipped with polygon proces- sors that handle all the calculations for rendering 3-D graphics. We haven't adopted such an approach because the concept behind our sys- tem is different. If we adopted such a chip, we would have faced certain

172 Electronic Gaming Monthly

Mr. Tetsuya Iguchi, Manager Planning Division at NEC, explains the special features that will be in their PC-FX.

limitations in terms of overall cost. For example, the number of poly- gons that can be displayed in a sec- ond could be limited to so many tens of thousands or whatever. So when there are limitations, like say with Virtua Fighter, the figures aren't very smooth looking with a blocky appearance overall. So graphically, it's not very beautiful. Plus polygons are popular now, but we're not cer- tain if they will remain popular in the future. Our system is designed to enable instantaneous playback of graphic data contained on CD. This graphic data can certainly be com- posed of polygons. The big differ- ence is that we can put highly- detailed graphics made using a workstation on CD and call it up as a complete picture. With a machine that calls up polygon data for pro- cessing inside the system, the num- ber of displayable polygons is limit- ed. In contrast, with our system, we can accept beautiful, preprocessed graphics and play them back imme- diately. Of course with a system that has a polygon processor, it is possi- ble to rotate graphics and so on to alter vantage points. In our case, we have to have that graphic data avail- able and call it up from CD. So that is our system’s drawback. But in

Q:

terms of visuals, we can provide high quality graphics. If you would consid- er for a moment, all games are com- posed of moving pictures. Even if a game uses polygons, it ultimately is still a two-dimensional image when you see it on TV. That's why we put the most emphasis on high speed animation playback. If a system has a large memory base and high- speed animation playback, then it would be smarter to simply play back created images rather than creating images on the fly. Of course, the system as it stands isn't fast enough physically. For instance, the CD- ROM drive isn't quadruple speed, so it does have drawbacks in creating 3-D worlds. But when the system gets faster, it would be better to simply summon forth great graph- ics from CD instead of creating poly- gon graphics.

Is PC-FX backward-compatible with PC Engine?

It isn't compatible with PC Engine software.

What's this machine's mar- ket? Are you going to convert PC Engine users to PC-FX?

The targeted age segment is some- where higher than for PC Engine. We think some people will move up from PC Engine, some will shift over from the personal computer market, and because of this machine's graphics capability, we think new users, for example fans of animes, will be attracted.

What kind of games will you be offering?

We have mah jong, baseball, pachinko, racing games, an RPG, golf games, pro wrestling games, simulations and many others com- ing. We're especially proud of what our machine can do with golf games. Compared to 3DO for example, we can output far more beautiful graph- ics. You see with PC-FX, data read from CD-ROM doesn't have to go through the CPU bus for processing. It has a separate independent bus for visual playback so we can show high-quality, full-color graphics at a high rate of 30 frames per second. For a system using a double speed CD-ROM drive, this machine proba- bly has the best graphic playback quality. Another thing, for compress- ing image data, this machine uses JPEG rather than MPEG so we can obtain better graphic quality. JPEG is for compressing still images rather than MPEG which is for compressing movies. Obviously, JPEG is a “heav- ier" format, so it takes longer to decompress than MPEG, but it does provide a better picture quality frame

by frame. However, our system is so fast, we can achieve decompression of JPEG still images at the rate of 30 frames a second.

If you're going after an older audience, is your competitor a 3DO-type machine?

We believe our machine delivers better performance than 3DO.

One advantage 3DO has is it has a lot of licensees that can release a lot of software.

Well, starting with hardware per- formance, without a doubt our machine provides better animation playback performance. As for soft- ware, yes certainly 3DO has more software in overall numbers. For instance, if you look at the Japanese market, there's a considerable gap between big sellers and non-sellers. The software that does sell is limited in number. It’s not about the quantity of software, it's about the quality of software.

Will you be able to play arcade- type games on PC-FX?

We're certainly considering them. However, we don't think that kind of game will become the majority.

So this machine will have more PC-type games ported over?

We think so. For example, there

are many great PC games made in America with superb graphics on CD-ROM. We think our system is one that can enable easy translation of such games. There are many PC games in America that store graphic data on hard disk or whatever and summon them for display on the monitor successively. PC-FX is capable of that kind of performance.

Are you planning on making this system compatible with IBM computers?

We haven't considered that. However, even though the graphics data won't be entirely compatible because of different compression algorithms, the manner in which graphics are displayed is essentially the same, so it shouldn't be difficult to translate personal computer games. This machine is after all capable of full (that is 16.77 million) display at high speed.

So you can do games such as Iron Helix?

Actually a different division in the company is working on a Windows

Here's what the PC-FX system looks

like, complete with CD on top!

version for PC-9800, but we haven't done it yet for PC-FX. But it shouldn't be hard to do at all.

Is this machine designed as a stand-alone computer or just an add-on to a computer?

We're considering this as a stand- alone system, not only for games, but also music, edutainment and other types of software. We're also considering developing a keyboard for using this machine as a terminal for doing network communications.

How are pre-orders for the unit?

We should be receiving orders

Soon since the unit is coming out on Dec. 9, but we haven't determined the numbers yet. So we haven't arrived at how many units will be made available at the time of launch.

So what is the incentive for some- body with a PC-9800 to buy this unit?

This machine has much better graphic processing performance than a PC-9800. Plus, it is a game machine that will let you play games that PC-9800 won't be able to do justice. It can let you play games, and with an optional interface, it can be used as a CD-ROM drive for PC- 9800 computers.

Why is this unit so big?

As a means of differentiating this unit from those of other compa-

nies. By making this unit vertical, there is admittedly some wasted space. This machine also has three expansion slots. The expansion units all can be tucked away inside the unit. For example, there's a slot for a

back-up memory card at the front that can fully enclose the card. There's also slots at the rear and bottom. The bottom slot is for adding more main memory and the rear is a functional slot for optional units such as a modem.

Or a video CD interface?

We're thinking about that, but

we're not certain if there really is

a market for video CD. With the machines of other companies, optional items in expansion slots will always protrude.

Is this only for Japan?

At present we're not thinking about exporting this machine to America. We are considering the possibilities, but a machine costing $500 we don't think we'll sell if we said this is a game machine only.

The standard controller for the PC-FX will have a six-button configuration.

And we don't think we can merely sell it as a “multimedia” machine, such as Commodore CD-TV. 3DO also isn't selling at that price. So if we promoted this unit merely as a game machine, it won't be accepted in America. But it may be viable if we develop it as a system that can offer real benefits by being connected to a personal computer. We think the best use of this machine would be for playing back high-grade graphics in not only games, but also in the world of music and other kinds of software.

How about the type for place- ment in a PC-9800 expansion slot?

For a PC-9800 computer with a double speed CD-ROM drive, we are preparing a double deck- er board version that fits into a single expansion slot.

Are there a lot of PC-9800 units in Japan?

It's the standard computer in

Japan with over 50 percent of the home market. Cumulatively, approxi- mately 10 million units have been sold.

hope you've seen my | Fact File on Snatcher in

EGM #64. This CD is so cool that | thought you'd ike to see a bit more of the twisted story line. As the resi- dent Snatcher player, I’ve tried to give you an idea of what happens up to Act 2. Snatcher is a gigantic game, and even the most down-trodden cyber- punk will have a tough time making it all the way through.

My opinion? Snatcher is a top-notch adventure. The graphics feature great art, and the audio fits very well. Unlike most CD games, Snatcher's actors seem to fit their roles very well.

The interface may sometimes frustrate the player when an option doesn't appear when you'd like it to. One thing that really sets Snatcher apart, aside from its more adult con- tent, is the string of jokes hid- den throughout the game. The ramblings between Gillian and Metal Gear are a blast.

Snatcher's story line is con- voluted, and the culmination of elements found throughout give you a sense that there really is a Neo Kobe. There are plenty of hidden jokes and what-not to find, too! Try using the vid- phone and the J.U.N.K.E.R. computer to find these.

If | owned a Sega CD, this would be one title | would pick up. There's not enough of this type of game, especially on CD. Now | can understand the plot of my Japanese Super CD. This one is a must!

Don't miss our interview with Snatcher's Vachinari Саса; an nana 176

GM's Nob Ogasawara

Let's start with the easy

questions. How long was the development period?

| can't reveal that, but much shorter than you imagine. The original PC-8801 and MSX per- sonal computer versions that were released about seven years ago took two or three times longer than an average game. | worked as the sound designer on those two versions.

Q: YS:

YS:

Did the original PC versions become hits?

No, they didn't. They were popular only among maniacal players.

If the original versions were only cult favorites, how did the home PC Engine version come about?

Although they didn't sell in big numbers, it was received with phenomenal reviews and made quite an impact among Japanese game play- ers. The people who played the game couldn't forget it and they demanded a conversion to home systems. Unfortunately, the original game was on several floppies. Because of its size, we couldn't fit it оп a ROM cart. It just so happened that the PC engine had a CD-ROM system available, so it was chosen as the sys- tem for the first home version of Snatcher.

Q:

YS:

If the originals were on floppies, did they have recorded speech?

No. We did put in sound effects to represent the speech, though. At the time, it was all we could do. YS:

So CD-ROM made it possible for you to use recorded speech?

That's right. We were able to put in real speech and background music for the first time. Also, the original PC versions ended at Act 2. We were planning on doing Act 3, but we went far over the allowed development Schedule so we had to give up on it. We didn't get the opportunity to put in Act 3 until the PC engine version. We were being criticized in the company for making a game that was too long, but we were lucky enough to have the PC engine become a big hit. Although | can't reveal how many were eventually sold, it was а monster hit for a PC Engine game.

WS:

Q: YS:

Yeah. As a matter of fact, it was so popular it Still makes Famicom Tsushin Magazine's "Reader's Best 20" games chart even two years after it was released.

How did the Sega CD version come about?

| got Konami involved in the development soft- ware for the Sega CD. We first released Lethal Enforcers on CD. After that we considered doing an FMV-type game like Night Trap, but we reached the conclusion that it was difficult to take that route. We thought it would be per- haps better to make a more interactive kind of game for overseas. Since Snatcher really impressed gamers in Japan, we wanted to impress game fans overseas in the same way.

“White Shadow” about the work on ...

v

* v

Another thing, we weren't totally impressed with the PC engine version, so we wanted to make a fully realized version.

How many people were used in recording the voices in the games?

Seven. That's all?

Surprising, isn't it? There's two hours and 29 minutes of recorded speech and 26 different characters' voices in the game. We got some super-talented voice actors and | guarantee that you can't tell that any of them are doing more than one character.

We noticed several changes from the PC engine version such as the clien- tele of Outer Heaven Club.

Obviously there's the issue of copyrights. That was the prime concern especially for Outer Heaven Club in which the PC engine version featured Kamen Rider and Gieger's alien. The characters we used in Japan cleared copyright hurdles, but we thought there might be a prob- lem in America. So we took White Shadow's advice and decided to use Konami characters instead. It actually worked out to be hilarious. (Note: if you want to know who White Shadow really is, buy the game!)

Have the sex or violent scenes in the PC engine version been cut from the Sega CD version?

We haven't cut scenes, but we have made some alterations. In Act 1, when a certain girl gets killed, her bosom becomes unclad in the PC engine version. We decided the scene was too much, so we covered her up.

There's another character called Katherine who was aged 14 in the Japanese version who's shown naked in the shower. We decided that's jail bait so we upped her age to 18 and covered up her nudity for Sega CD.

So how is the game rated in America?

For the States it's recommended for players 13 and up. But in Europe it's for players 18 and up.

Really? | thought Europe was much more lax about nudity than America. But in Europe they're more worried about vio- lence. In America, they're not as concerned about violence, but nudity is out.

How difficult was it to port over the Japanese PC engine version to Sega CD?

Most of the difficulty we encountered was in translating the text. We've never had to do this much translation of game text before. We were surprised at how difficult it is to do. It

didn't take a long time, but it cost a lot!

When you translate text, | imagine a lot of word play and puns ended up being edited out.

WS: | rewrote a lot of stuff. Q: YS:

Did most of the scenes that had to be altered involve nudity or sex?

Yes, one scene we had to cut entirely was one in which a robot watches a sex film and gets a bit rowdy. The sound effects were a bit much. As for violence, we didn't fix much except for one scene in which a dog dies.

The PC engine version showed a dog with its guts hanging out. It wasn't quite dead—you can see it twitching, even its innards. We were afraid of the ASPCA. Although we retained the Scene, we stopped the dog's twitching so it's just dead, not dying.

This game has an adult feel to it. Will you be doing more adult-oriented games?

We never made a conscious effort to develop ` a game for adults. We wanted to make a good game, and it turned out that this particular good game had a mature feel. We doubt we'll be deliberately developing games for mature audiences. We'll first just develop a game, and then decide to whom we should present it.

YS:

In porting over the PC engine version, were there major technical hurdles?

On-screen colors. The PC engine could show 256 colors simultaneously. Sega CD, despite being a CD-ROM machine, could only display 64 colors. The difference is obvious. By apply- ing a software technique, we managed to increase the on-screen display colors to 112. We also changed the color pallets around so we're happy about the display quality.

Q:

YS:

Were there software heroics involved?

Q: YS:

: Were any changes made to the story?

Yes, it pretty well killed us (laugh).

No. The ending part has been changed somewhat. There aren't multiple end- ings, but you are graded for how well you solved the mysteries. Plus Act

3 has been altered significantly. We weren't totally pleased with the PC engine version since it was too movie-like—just sit and watch. We wanted to avoid that and changed Act 3

a lot so it would be a lot more interactive as a game. We added | a few more forks and choices to Act 3.

YS:

In closing, would you like

to say a few words to American players? | This is a game like you've never $ played before on a home system. We hope it will make you cry and laugh!

TEAM EGM SCORES A HAT TRICK TO START 1995

Time to ring in the New Year, and we couldn't start it any better than with a Team EGM hat trick.

That's right. When most other gaming mags are hitting the post, we've turned оп а red light not once but three times and put the biscuit in the basket. This month we have exclusive coverage on NBA Jam Tournament Edition, Tecmo Super Bowl ‘95: Special Edition and a first look at Sega Sports NHL All-Star Hockey and Road Rash III from EA for the Genesis. Sega has kept the fighting

the plays with ease, while experienced gamers will enjoy some of the unique features of the game.

Everybody is awaiting the awesome sequel to NBA Jam. NBA Jam Tournament Edition will rock the rim in a big way and will helicopter-slam gamers into another dimension of excitement. Of course, with this announcement and the holidays now over, the big Acclaim mar- keting team is getting ready to put a full- court press on the rest of the league. The game is set to be released sometime in March, and the Iceman is chomping at the bit to get his hands on this game—it's his favorite.

All of your favorite NHL players have been included, and the All-Star Team Mode is awesome. You can choose the East or West All-Stars and have at it. Each of the players on the teams is rated in different categories.

LACE UP THE SKATES AND HIT THE ICE WITH ALL-STAR HOCKEY

This month we take a look at two on-ice entries in the world of hockey.

Sega Sports has given us a look at NHL All-Star Hockey, and they have included a fighting segment of all things. This game is hockey the way it's sup- posed to be played, and for all of those do-gooders, fighting is an option that can be turned on or off.

A scouting report is available on each team and the game features an NHL Player’s Association and an NHL license.

Accolade’s Brett Hull ‘95 stresses the fundamentals of a good hockey game.

The future hall-of-fame announcer is also the voice of Monday Night Football and he can also be heard in HardBall Ill. He calls the game as he sees it during play. The dialogue makes the game even more exciting.

The play-by-play is crisp and clear, plus he doesn’t say the same phrases over and over. The game also allows you to take part in a three-, five- or seven-game playoff format.

The game stresses the fun- damentals of hockey: skat- ing, passing and shooting. This year, you.can use drop passes and Brett Hull's super powerful wrist shot.

I’ve already given the Iceman a mouth- ful of pavement a few times, and we just got the game in. Switching gears, EA Sports is bring- ing out Madden ‘95 for the Game Gear

and the game features every- thing that made its 16-Bit Genesis console cousin a smash hit. For gamers on the go, the Game Gear ver- sion of Madden scores a touchdown with a two-point conversion.

This month, we also come off of the top rope and take a look at WCW Superbrawl for the Super NES by FCI. If you love the

new look of the WCW, then you'll. enjoy taking to the ring with some of the WCW’s best wrestlers. We get a strangle hold on this game for you.

There you have it, Team EGM's coverage of gaming's Wide World of Sports. Glad to have you back for another year, and what a year it's going to be with NBA Jam Tournament Edition coming out on all systems, with quite possibly a version for the 3DO. EA Sports is definitely working on a version of NHL Hockey for the 3DO. EA also has a Muhammad Ali Boxing game in the works for all of the 16-Bit and 32-Bit platforms. The game is being pro- grammed on Silicon Graphics work sta- tions and will be polygon rendered with fully texture-mapped characters. This means that the boxers will look real and not like Virtua Fighter clones. Enjoy this month's coverage, and the Iceman and I will be back in 30 days with another look at sports.

Like the very first game, stats are included to lend realism to the game. The stats are based on their NBA standings and skills.

Not really an important stat, but it does bring up some trash talk on the side as well as frustration to the other team.

HOCKEY'S FUNDAMENTALS STRESSED IN BRET HULL 2

You can play a single exhibition game or a full season, choosing from either two-, five-, 10- or 20-minute periods.

The basics of hockey (passing, shooting and skating) are stressed. You can't just sit down with it and in 10 minutes have the score 9 to 8 like you can in some other games. Just like the real game, you have to learn how to pass, skate and shoot, and it takes some time to become good. Brett Hull even pops up between periods to give you advice on how to out- wit the other team and what he thinks you can improve on either to catch up or to stay on top. Hockey purists will enjoy this

fast-paced hockey game.

COVER і МАН

The Game Gear is still showing some light as games from Sega like this one prove that this portable system will be around for a long time.

NFL '95 has taken its name from the Genesis version. It may not have the exact 16-Bit

quali- ty, but it does pro- duce some pretty neat features that boost the aspect of the game. The playbook is comprised of a variety of plays from the offensive and defensive point of views. The plays are laid out pretty well, showing you your players' assignments and routes.

On the field, eight players are on each Side. Even though the teams are reduced in size, they are comprised of real, NFL athletes. People who are not used to playing with small characters may have to get used to the controls while maneuvering your player and running and passing downfield.

NFL “95 is full of

referee animations giving signals of first downs, delay of game, etc.

After practicing and taking down the computer for some games, why not enter the season and see if you can reach the playoffs? During the season you may check your standings and see the rank- ings throughout the league.

Overall, NFL '95 is packed with every- thing you want in a football game.

On each level you meet only the same three bad guys over and over again. Some of the enemies you'll even see on more than one level! Their names and colors might change, but they are still the same enemy. The levels seem repetitious as well, because they are all laid out in the same fashion. The control is only adequate, and the same goes for the sound. If you like side-scrolling, beat-'em- up games like Final Fight, however, you will probably enjoy this title.

Level Two is the last level where you will see Superman alive. This is the level where you meet up with Doomsday and end his reign of terror. You must maneuver through a construction site and beat up on many of Doomsday's henchmen. You first meet him at the end of the Construction Stage. Even if you beat him, he's not finished yet. He'll get up and fly into the city where you must pursue and stop him. Battle your way past tons of street thugs to get to the final confrontation with Doomsday. Brace yourself because you won't be coming back from this one.

In Level Three you are the Cyborg Superman bent on ridding the galaxy of Doomsday, who has been taken by his minions to a secret base. You will begin in a flying sequence where you must shoot down the defending robots. Then enter the base perimeter and attempt to defeat the forward guards. Guards consist of ground and air units with big guns. When you penetrate the defenses and enter the base, you wil face the same opposition that you faced outside. Defeat the sentinel robot and fly Doomsday to the far reaches of the galaxy.

The eagle handler has all her moves from the first game with the addition of nc ERU Ryuse! This will send a projectile right back at an opponent. However, she must perform this when the projectile is very close. She has also been given an air throw that can be done when jumping at an opponent, pulling DOWN and pressing the B button!

Get yourself a six-button controller before you even think about playing this game.

THE UGLY

The remains of your 3DO controller after you smash it to bits. Really ... a six-button controller is a must!

any 3DO owners were hoping that M they would be able to play Street

Fighter on their systems, and now they can! The latest version, Super Street Fighter Il Turbo makes its way to the ЗОО, and it's a very good translation. The new moves, throw countering, Super Moves and Akuma code are all in this version. For those of you unfamiliar with the Street Fighter games, you control one of 17 fighters in one-on-one combat against other fighters. Play alone, facing 12 opponents (including four Boss char- acters), or play against one of your friends. However, there are no bonus rounds like in previous versions of the game. Another difference is the Super Moves. These are cool moves that can be done only when your power meter (at the bottom of the screen) is charged. Super Moves do massive damage, and are great for finishing combos. Watch for the burst of light when you finish off your foe with a Super Move!

The dreaded Dragon Punches of Ryu and Ken are now not invincible, which is unfortunate for these two. Yet, Ryu has a Ground Pound for crouch- ing enemies,

mä and an air uppercut that can connect for two hits. Shoryuken!

Ken has a multitude of new kicks to round out

his arsenal. These new axe kicks and hook kicks often hit twice, causing massive dam- age. His Super Move is a triple Dragon Punch.

Life Goes On

he FOX Network is | blasting into cyber- space with its new virtual reality adventure series, VR (its title will likely be changed to avoid confusion with NBC’s hot new medical drama, ER). A mid-season replacement tentatively set to debut in early 1995, VR stars Lori Singer (Footloose, the TV series Fame) as Sydney Bloom, a shy tele- phone company employee whose ambitious computer tinkering gives her entry into not merely a modern- ized dreamland, but the darkest reaches of her own mind.

While the idea of manu- factured and mainframe- driven “realities” and their impact upon real life has,

¦ over the past decade, fueled

feature films from Brainstorm to Brainscan, it has yet to be

by the net- works. However, the prime-time climate has become ripe for risk-tak- ing-thanks largely to the success of The X-Files. *VR will try to cap- ture that same,

ing," says co- executive pro- ducer Thania St. John, whose TV writing credits include

and Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. *But instead of dealing with aliens, we're going inside to the psychological."

The catalyst and conduit for the action is Sydney Bloom, who jerry-rigs her home computer and inad- vertently stumbles upon astounding virtual reality technology. *Sydney's a Generation X kind of per- son, not quite your baby- boomer heroine," says St. John. *She doesn't have many friends, and she can communicate better through technology than she can face-to-face." Amusing at first, her VR dis- covery takes a dark turn as the newly emboldened Sydney pulls a would-be boyfriend (Adam Baldwin) into a virtual date-and gradually learns that he's a murderer.

irst, there was Megaman on 8-Bit. Then there was Megaman on 16-Bit. Now, Megaman has bro- ken through the video . games barrier to invade your homes. Not even Dr. Wily and his band of bad- dies can stop the fun sprouting from new Megaman action figures. Totaling six, the five-inch tall Action Feature figures come with their own weapons which are fully interchangeable with the

other five characters. The group of six includes Megaman, his robo-dog Rush, Proto Man, Cutman, Gutsman and Bombman.

Also available are Megaman collectible fig- ures. Though not poseable, these figures have big style in stand-stills.

Not Just a

Scratchy Voice

f you think you know the Simpsons so well that you can recognize each and

every individual voice of the characters, think again. A few people supply the voices for the entire town of Springfield.

Harry Shearer is one of those people.

In the first Simpsons script, Shearer recalls, "There were four or five voices I was asked to do. But with everybody, you discover more that they can do as time goes on. I mean, Hank [Azaria] has blos- somed, and everybody has revealed more and more stuff that they can do." Especially Shearer, who, even with his facility for voices, has developed an incredible range of charac- ters, including Mr. Burns and his sniveling sidekick Smithers, the repulsively perky Ned Flanders, Principal Skinner, news anchor Kent Brockman, Otto the school bus driver, Simpsons family physician Dr. Hibbert, the Reverend Lovejoy, Scratchy the Cat, Radioactive Man, Dr. Marvin Monroe and of course, God, Hitler and the Devil. One would imagine that a lot of preparation went into mak- ing each voice specific and unique (“Mr. Burns: a mean, rich, old guy ... hmmm..."). According to Shearer, he actually thought “as little as possible. It's like what jazz players say: 'You try to keep your mind out of it as much as possible.’ Thinking doesn’t help. Read the script and get a feeling for what the character’s about, and fly with it.

“The only thing I had in mind,” he adds, “was I didn’t want them to sound like famous people (with a couple of exceptions) and I didn’t want them to sound like each other.”

Who would ever guess Mr. Burns, Otto and Scratchy were the same guy?

Star Trek: Voyager Ready, Set for '95 Liftoff

irector Winrich

Kolbe compares the

pervasive conflict

between the rebel

and Federation crews

in Star Trek: Voyager to the premise of one of his favorite movies, the Tony Curtis-Sidney Poitier classic The Defíant Ones. In the Academy Award-winning 1958 film, two dissimilar and distrustful convicts escape from prison while they are shackled together, forcing them to cooperate with one another.

“It’s an old plot,” Kolbe concedes. “But it worked in The Defiant Ones and it'll work for us, as long as we don't get cava- lier about it."

In “The Caretaker,” the |. two-hour pre- miere episode directed by Kolbe and scheduled to air this month, the Federation starship Voyager chases a rebel Maquis ship into a galactic phenomenon that trans- ports them to an unknown region of space so distant that it would take them 70 years at maximum warp to return to known territory. The Maquis ship is destroyed during this

adventure, though its crew is rescued by the Voyager. Facing an unenviable future in oblivion, the crews form an uneasy alliance in their search for a way home.

“On the Voyager, we have two groups that at any moment could have serious personality conflicts," Kolbe says. “The Maquis could suddenly say, ‘Wait a minute, that's not the way we're going to do it,’ and there's the conflict. I like that there are great possi- bilities for conflict on the ship itself, which is some- thing that was missing in ST: TNG. It just wasn't there, which could be a problem dra- matically. There will always be

human beings; we need those

and survive. Gene Roddenberry said we'd come to a point in Star Trek's future where there would no longer be conflict between people. But how likely is that scenario?"

Which is not to say, he emphasizes, that this series disposes of the late Roddenberry's overall philosophy.

*Rick Berman and

conflict between

conflicts to grow

Michael Piller may create new series," he says, “but they never forget who Started this whole thing. Ultimately, as long as it's

Star Trek, it will be Gene Roddenberry's. It's all a matter of where you Start from. The fact that the Voyager has a female captain is important; it’s something I think Gene would have pushed for.”

The first choice for the captain was Genieveve Bujold, but she quit the series three days after step- ping onto the set. Replacing her was Kate Mulgrew, best known as Mrs. Columbo in the short- lived 1979 TV series of the same name. “When she came on the set, I was very impressed with her,” Kolbe says.

“She had a definite pres- ence, and she was informed about what she had to do... I suddenly felt that we were taking off. We were just taxiing up the runway until that point."

Comparing the Janeway character to previous Trek captains, he points out that both Sisko and Picard are inherently remote, a trait that is highlighted by their positions. Janeway, he feels, will be entirely different.

“There are moments in the pilot where you get a sense of the difference,”

Kolbe says. “There is more concern for and attention to

feelings. Yet it’s not some- thing that would ever affect her conduct as captain. If she has to send someone into a life-threatening situa- tion on an unknown planet, for example, she will do that. But, if something terri- ble happens to that crew member, she can agonize openly about it. That’s something a woman might talk about; but a male cap- tain probably never would bring it up. He would be staring into space and it would be implied, but he never would talk about it. I think the story approach from a character point of view has a much broader band to work on than if it was a male captain. We’ve had a lot of women leaders in Star Trek, but they’ve all suffered from the hidden- penis syndrome.”
