It seems that every year something new happens in the industry to completely shake everything up. This particular situation is the release of the Sony PlayStation. This system has promised and delivered home video games that the general public couldn’t even dream of more than a year ago. This release, coupled with the Sega Saturn and the much-anticipated Ultra 64, will undoubtedly SET THE STANDARD for gaming, but for how long? The video gaming world is changing faster than most people realized or even anticipated and this will only lead to questions that few can answer. All this leads to the headline. The Super NES and Genesis, the two perennial favorites of the world, are going out with a bang. As the Sega Saturn and PlayStation gain a stranglehold on your minds and wallets, those 16-ВІТ WORKHORSES are having some of the best games ever designed for 16-Bit being released for them. Just take a look at Chrono Trigger, Yoshi’s Island, Mortal Kombat 3 and the upcoming Super Mario RPG for the Super NES. Then there is Comix Zone, Vectorman, College Football USA ‘96 and the upcoming Earthworm Jim 2 for the Genesis. All these games represent the BEST G AMES that these systems have seen іп a long time. But unfortunately, not many of you will be will- ing to play them once the PlayStation and Saturn become the main staple of your TV diets. But that’s not a bad thing. CHANGE IS GOOD and I’m all for these big-buck games with lots of flash and pizazz, but if they don’t offer the plain old fun that video games should offer, then what’s the point? Games like Centipede or Asteroids had no plot. No princess to save or evil villain to slay. In fact, those games should be inferior to everything nowadays, but I found myself playing Asteroids and Centipede on GameBoy long after the review was fin- ished. Why? FUN! How many games these days just let you sit there, shoot things, collect points and try to survive. You could prob- ably count those games on one hand. I’m not saying that none of these upcoming PlayStation, Saturn or Ultra 64 games won’t be fun, but I most certainly hope they don’t rely on gimmicky graphics to sell themselves. That will only lead to disappointment. In closing I'd like to say that I am all for ‘change’ and as of this writing, have pre-ordered a PlayStation. Many of you knew about some stores’ sales pitch of TRADING IN OLDER 16-BIT GAMES to get a discounted price on the PlayStation. I also took advantage of this incredible deal and traded in a whole slew of old games, but there were some I did not. Why? M Because games like Herzog Zwei, M.U.S.H.A. and Thunder Force 3. ар for the Genesis mind you, offered too much fun to give up. And uen least ГЇЇ have some old favorites to turn to when I need them. ayStation doesn't offer the fun I want in modern games, at Danyon Carpenter Senior Editor Background by Тала - |T'S GONNA BRUISE MORE F.

Nintendo has stated that the main reason they have delayed the release is to give third-party developers more time to develop their games and take full advantage of the system's capabili- ties. | don't think you'd be happy if the Ultra 64 was released now with only two games available. Remember the 32X? As | browse through my past issues of EGM, | notice that most 32X games received a less favorable review, and in almost all of them there is the comment: "This game could have made better use of 32X's capabilities." The 32X was brought out in a hurry and this is what they get. Sound famil- iar? | think Nintendo made a good deci- sion three years ago to devote most of their time to one system, and if it takes another year to fine-tune it, fine. I'm willing to wait just to get it for $250. Nintendo used a similar tactic with the Super NES, biding their time while the Genesis basked in the spotlight. As a result, the Super NES is technologically superior to the Genesis. | hear about a new system almost every month, and it must be impossible, as a developer, to keep up. However, 1 agree with Brian that Nintendo is treading on thin ice by keeping us all in the dark. If they don't give us something soon, many will stop waiting and splurge to have the next generation in their greedy little hands.

Robin Salkeld Brampton, Ontario, Canada Okay Robin, beside the fact that my fingers have blisters all over them from typing your letter, you do make some valid points. Nintendo proba- Шу realizes that they can lose some market share with the Sega Saturn already on the mar- ket, but based on the track record of the Super NES, І have no doubt the Ultra 64 can regain that ground. Excuse me, but | now have to apply some bandages to my blood-dripping digits, thanks to my Street Fighter Il First Aid kit. IT'S NOT THE SIZE THAT COUNTS Dear EGM, What the heck is wrong with Sega? I’m talking about those Sega Saturn cases in which they put the CDs. In Japan, they are nice little jewel cases that don’t take up that much space. On the other hand, over here in the great ‘ol U.S. of A., they are huge eyesores that take up a lot of space and are bulky. Why the heck are they doing this? Matthew Heeke Tacoma, WA Well, surprisingly it's not a marketing ploy...yet. You see, since nothing else on the planet can hold those cases in one nice location, like regu- lar CD organizers do, Sega must be thinking of a way to develop and sell one for the masses. However, if you want to remedy the situation now, run out to a record store and buy empty jewel cases (they're cheap). Then get out a pair of scissors and hack up the instruction manual and jam it into the new jewel case. Voila! It ain't pretty, but it's fun to play with scissors. e Sega dares to be different with their Keith Baker Age: 11 Sex: Male Memphis, TN 38133 Favorite Games: Mortal Kombat 8, Virtua Fighter, Killer Instinct EA 05 16 I know it all... - EC | J " Ө; Why is it when I leave a can of Cherry Coke sit on top of the TV for a week, and then try to pour it out in the sink when I clean my room, there is always something solid that oozes out of the can and splats into the sink?

Dear EGM, | am on the verge of purchasing a Sony PlayStation on its release date. | have heard rumors that it will be shipped with a pack-in game, while I also heard rumors that there won't be one. Can you tell me if there will be? If there is a pack-in, | will most certainly purchase a PlayStation. The price of the PSX is about $299, and that isn't exactly cheap. If | spend $299 for a new system and | don't get a game to play, l'II feel like | got ripped off. The price is expensive, but if a game is included, | feel it will be worth the money. | suggest the pack-in game be Wipeout, Battle Arena Toshinden, Tekken or Mortal Kombat 3. Thanks for your time. Luca lacusso Wolcott, CT Dear EGM, What you are now holding in your Sticky little hands is an open letter to Sony. It contains a few suggestions for he new PlayStation. | have heard the rumor about the 16-Bit game trade-in. (It's no rumor! - Ed.) | think it's a great idea. In just a random count on my 6-Bit video games, | found 10 games would trade in for $100 off a Play- Station. It would be nice if we could trade in our old 8-Bit systems and games. To pack-in or not to pack-in, hat is the question. Frankly, | am a little shocked by the idea of not getting a game with the PlayStation. It way work ine in Japan, but over here we sorta expect a game when we shovel out $299 for a system. It does make you оок cheap in comparison with Sega. At the very least, you should pack-in Ridge Racer until Dec. 31. I’m sure you could eat the cost for four months. Larry Madill, Jr. Evansville, IN Sorry to say guys, but it's true. Sony will not include a pack-in game with the PlayStation. They will, however, include a sampler CD that can бе played on a normal audio CD player and in the PlayStation. It's called the Developer's Demo Disc. When it's in an audio player, heed the warning and bypass track one, unless you want to experience what it sounds like inside a bug zapper. Track two has a shameless plug touting the PSX while the remaining 10 tracks have music from Sony's bands. If you pop that same disc into a PSX, you get to try out nine interac- tive demos, not games, of the PlayStation's abili- ties. While it may be cool to putz around with a fully rendered dinosaur or make texture-mapped cubes explode, my recommendation is to pick up а game, апу game, since you will get bored of this disc in, oh, 10 minutes. Yippee. * On the CD you can have endless fun playing with a Dino, at least according to Mike Vallas. WHO DUNIT... SUNSOFT OR ACCLAIM?

What is going on with these two companies? Have they joined forces? Was the ad just a typo? Jason Taylor Rockwall, TX Jason, the publishing end of Sunsoft went belly- up, and Acclaim was there to scoop up Sunsoft's remaining titles. That's why many games Sunsoft was originally working on, such as Scooby-Doo, Porky Pig's Haunted Holiday are now going to be released under the Acclaim banner. * Acclaim picked up the rights to release many Sunsoft games, like Scooby-Doo. director of ‘CLERKS’ Snootch Bootchies M. 9 К, Ж AP р TOBER SNIHLON ЧО TIVIA S.I SLE TA] | "d3MSNV THIS OC = What are the hottest new games to cross the EGM editors’ desks this month?

Also, there is a page for subscribing to ЕСМ, not ЕСМ. .

Do you have any info on KI 2? . Since you can use Super Famicom games on the Super NES, will this work for Ultra Famicom and Ultra 64? . On the back of every Super Famicom game box, it says that the game is for sale and use in Japan only. Does this mean that it is illegal to play Super Famicom games? . Do you ever get tired of hearing that your mag is the best? . Will Super Street Fighter Il Turbo come out for any other platforms than 3DO and computer? Name lost due to postal system Long Beach, CA Okay, mystery man, here we go... 1. If you already subscribe to EGM, you should be getting a voucher asking if you would like to subscribe to ЕСМ, Other than that, there is no other way to subscribe directly to ЕСМ. 2. It's possible that Dragon Warrior VI will come to the States, but it's unlikely. As for Tale Fantasia, there are no plans to release it here at this time. 3. Although final details on this game are still shrouded in mystery, with Nintendo touting the Ultra 64 the way they are, the games had better be incredible, even if it is а cartridge-based system. 4. Unknown, but it would be nice. 5. The police are on their way. Just kidding! Nintendo doesn't like the idea, but it's not really enforced in the States. 6. No. 7. No plans have been announced for another rendition of this game, but when they do, you'll be the first to know. ны Cope SUPER NES WINDOWS 95 GENESIS” GAME BOY PLAYSTATION Coming E October 417.

This month's letter comes from Justin Swinghamer, who has a wonderful story to tell all of you...and here it is! Note that with the miracle of copy editors, this typed version (below) will read easier than the version on the right. Dear EGM, This has absolutely nothing to do with nothing but here’s a little story | created in my creative and brilliant little mind. One day there was a funny little girl walking on the street with her friends...four friends. They were all having a dandy little time when a psycho little evil squirrel spit on Rackel (the funny little girl) and ran away laughing and saying, “Rackel has spit from a squirrel all over ег clothes!!" Then Rackel cried and all of her friends deserted her except for one. "What's the matter Rackel Marian Swinkilhagmer?" said Rackel's friend, “Are you all sad ‘cause of all that spit and snot all over you? Well let me see here...| know! My sister Katlily needs some spare spit in a bottle...and look here! I have just the perfect little bottle just for scraping squirrel spit up in." So Rackel's friend scraped up all the spit off her and ran home quick to feed Katlily. Well, the rest of this story is too long to explain so l'Il just skip to the end. (oh, darn. - Ed.) Everything was a-okay but Katlily started growing fur and buck teeth after she drank the spit. Then five years passed and Katlily turned into a squirrel and she ran up and spit on Rackel Marian Swinkilhagmer and Rackel cried. The end. Sincerely, Justin Swinghamer You are a true Psycho, Justin. Your T-Shirt is in the mail. The tall tales of fish- ing have come true for this fisherman. Bob Kienzle of Fayetteville, AZ, caught this magical moment on film and managed to send it to us before the fish became ticked off. and killed Bob. If anyone has seen this fish, kill it and grill it. YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT THING'S BEEN! Dear EGM, | don’t know if you’ve noticed the grow- ing trend in game advertising such as 300° ad saying, "We've got over 200 woody-inducing titles to play on it.” Huh? Woody-inducing? Or Sony’s ad for the PlayStation stating, “Is it the start of a wet dream?” Or how about Crystal Dynamics’ ad announcing, “With all the high-tech weaponry your top gun wet dream can handle.” | don’t know about you guys, but | don’t get, well, excited when | play video games. Tyler Endicott Thousand Oaks, CA Maybe you're just not holding your joystick correctly? START SAVING UP SOME CASH Dear EGM, I’m wondering if Takara is planning on making any NeoeGeo translations such as Samurai Shodown 2 for the Play- Station since they have done transla- tions for the Super NES and Genesis and made Toshinden for the PSX?

READER VOICES CONCERNS WITH ATARI Dear EGM, This is not another Jaguar-thrashing etter. Atari makes a good system. They should, however, leave the game mak- ing to third-party licensees.

Secondly, it said you collect items after each battle o help you through a 3-D labyrinth. I saw no items and no labyrinth (unless you call a circular room a labyrinth).

According to published reports out of Japan, Sega has inked a deal with Citizen. the to supply LCD screens for the system. This new three “full-color” LCD display reportedly will have a higher resolution than the Game Gear and will be more in keeping with the Turbo Express hand- held system from Turbo Grafx. Under the deal, Citizen will churn out 50,000 screens per month. That number suggests that Sega is confident the Nomad can be mass-produced, although no officials are willing to comment on the project's progress. The Nomad, being devel- oped by Sega of America, will be able to play Genesis games. One item being developed in conjunction with the Nomad is a four- player multiplayer cable. Also rumored to be in the works is an adapter that allows gamers to play Game Gear games as well. If all goes well for Sega, the Nomad could be in some select markets by Christmas and available nationwide in early 1996.

Their exploits on the Internet have not gone unnoticed by some of video gaming's biggest players. With strides in computer technology—most notably faster modems and better graphics—the Internet is more accessible and is becoming more appealing to both video game players and gaming companies. The growth of World Wide Web has been the impetus for companies to offer their own web sites. These web sites can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $50,000 and up to get started and upward of $5,000 per month to maintain. "You've got to be on the Web,” said Susan Baldwin, director of public relations for Catapult Entertainment. “If you don’t have a web site these days, you’re not plugged in.” Catapult, maker of the XBand Modem, launched its web site earlier this year. Catapult’s home page offers information for gamers seek- ing the inside skinny on the XBand. “We try to target the whole gamut who uses the Web,” Baldwin said. “We caught the wave to get on the Internet because we know this is a very important avenue to reaching gamers, so they can have an understanding of our product and what our compa- ny is all about.” Its a statement echoed by many video and computer game companies on the web. A recent survey by Chilton showed that almost half of teens (11 to 18) use a com- puter at home, and almost 20 percent of those surf the Internet. Another study by Goldman, Sachs and Com- pany estimates that by the end of this year, more than 9 million consumers will have access to the web—up from less than 1 million in 1994. Most web site features have the standard fare: game reviews, new releases, tips, etc. But some sites (especially ones from smaller companies) cover unlikely items such as company news, profiles of key employ- ees and they even sell game- related products like hats, T- shirts, mugs and key chains. Companies not yet caught in the Web, such as Squaresoft of America, are realizing web sites are quick- ly becoming the rule—not the exception. "We're working on it [get- ting our own web site],” said Mirko Freguia, assistant pro- ject manager for Squaresoft. “It's been on hold because of Chrono Trigger and [Secre of] Evermore coming out." But when that wraps up, Freguia said Squaresoft will go full-throttle to “get as By the way... B JK much information as possible [online] and have a presence on the Internet.” Squaresoft already has an official forum area through Nintendo and America Online, but the company is aiming for its own stand- alone web site. Its sister company, Square of Japan, already has a full-fledged site up and running that showcas- es its new games in-depth. In the meantime, the Web is home to a multitude of “unofficial” video game sites that focus on specific topics or fill in gaps left by compa- nies without web sites of their own. But one thing is for sure: More companies are getting caught up in the web. E No Internet story would be complete without a shameless plug of our own World Wide Web site: http://www.nuke.com. But you won't find just video games at NUKE. It's a multimedia mecca that fea- tures the newest and best in computer software, movies and television information. In addition, you'll find up-to-the-minute news, strategies and screen shots of your favorite new Sega Saturn and PSX games. "Unlike other [web] sites...that focus on one aspect of the entertainment industry, we have a multi- interest site that covers movies, computers and video games," said Dave Hill, online programming director for NUKE. “We've got it all in one place." 2 р LES à 2 MAXIMUM SURGE PACKS PLENTY OF STAR POWER igital Pictures is back in the gaming fray, and it hopes to have a full-motion thriller on its hands. Digital Pictures has hired some well- known actors to make this year’s crop of games for the PC CD-ROM and Sega Saturn fun to play, as well as have an interesting and innova- tive story line. Baywatch beauty Yasmine Bleeth and Walter Koenig (best known for his role as Chekov in the Star Trek series as well as being featured in several other science-fiction movies and television series, including Babylon 5) both star in Maximum Surge, an action game set in the 21st century in the aftermath of a nuclear war. Bleeth plays Jo, your ally and a mercenary hired to help hunt down the evil Drexel, played by Koenig. Jo will defend you, destroy enemies and hack comput- ers when you reach the control rooms of the energy- producing power stations controlled by Drexel. He’s a power-hungry dictator bent on repopulating the world with androids and the person you must seek out and destroy. The 90 minutes of video footage in the game was filmed in Hollywood and in Long Beach, Calif. William Mesa directed the filming. Among Mesa’s most recent big-screen accomplishments was the creation of the spectacular train crash sequence in the box-office block- buster The Fugitive. In addition, he’s done special effects for Rambo Ill and Under Siege. Mesa’s experience with action movies made him a natural choice by Digital Pictures to oversee the filming of Maximum Surge. “In the past year, we have spent a good deal of time focus testing our games with our target consumers,” said Tom Zito, president and CEO of Digital Pictures. “We have listened carefully to what they told us and we have integrated their input throughout all aspects of our game development. This depth of research will enable us to deliver the games our consumers want, not the type of games we think they want. This year we are changing our focus and plan to deliver top-quality gaming experiences.” Although some members of Shiny Entertainment have left to form their own gaming company called the Neverhood, Earthworm Jim 2 is right on schedule for its November release on he Super NES and Genesis platforms. has been both Nintendo and Sega for their approval. Doug TenNapel, of the Earthworm Jim char- acter, left Shiny to start up his own company and took along some members. Dreamworks recently signed up with the Neverhood for a three-year multimillion-dollar deal. The game submitted to co-creator Namco’s WeaponLord is the first game to be made specifically for play on the Super NES and Genesis Catapult XBand networks.

Namco even went out and acquired the services of James Goddard, a well-known fighting game aficionado who some say is the world’s best fight- ing game player. Goddard, the producer and lead designer on WeaponLord, is a huge fan of the XBand service. It lets players compete head to head through telephone lines.

Positive or negative, the feedback is spontaneous,” Goddard said. 3 QuESTioNS WICH SAM ШЕ Crystal Dynamics EGM: What type of games do you like to play?

The reviews that are published in EGM are created after each gamer on the Review Crew staff plays through the game in its entirety. The Crew then independently writes their reviews based on the quality of the product, originality and challenge (how long it takes to complete), and bases their numerical scoring on a 1 to 10 scale in relation to other titles available for the same system. 32 EM o2 [mul- —] MORTAL KOMBAT 3 cn Ето playstation sony computer ent.

The industry's puked up quite a few interesting stories in the past 30 days and the Q-Mann has been on the scene to capture it all...So why did Steve Race leave Sony just weeks before the impending launch of the PlayStation? Could it be the closing of Sony Computer Entertainment of Canada? How f about a rumored allotment of less than 500,000 units through January? Was it because Polygon Man got his walking papers in favor of "Bark Like A Dog" Softia? The Q has recorded all of these rumors as potential reasons why Sony's main man on the PlayStation account took a hike and jumped ship to Spectrum Holobyte, although yours truly thinks it has more to do with whipping Olaf at Ridge Racer...Now that the PlayStation is being bundled with Ridge Racer for 350 clams, Sony has a more attractive package, but how badly will the higher price affect sales? Need | remind people that Sega and Nintendo couldn't sell their next-gen systems for 200 bucks back in '90?... .. It looks like ЗОО may have some kick left in it after all. The Q-Mann has learned from sources at a number of companies that one ЗОО supplier will likely have the ЗОО upgrade, known as the M2, on store shelves next spring for around $150. There are also rumors of another price drop for the next-gen system come X-Mas time and see the machine clock in at less than $200. Yours truly has also heard from sources close to another ЗОО hardware maker that it is very possible that a ЗОО/М2 "all-in-one" console could go head-to- head with the Ultra 64 next April, punching in at the $300 level. With fantastic quality and backward compatibility (i.e., lots of games already out for ЗОО), such combo hardware could be a potent player in the 32+-Bit sweepstakes...In other M2 news, EA is rumored to be planning versions of both John Madden Football and PGA Tour Golf for the 3DO upgrade, despite earlier claims that no such devel- opment would take place. My Q-Sources have indicated that EA, as well as other companies such as Capcom and Acclaim, are watch- ing the marketing strategies of 3DO carefully after being impressed by the capabilities of the new chip set... ...Hey editors, don't close the door on the ЗОО just yet! The Q has Time, Primal Rage and Blade Force to name just a few. MK3 will also get the ЗОО treatment and hit stores by the middle of next year (nearly a year after Sony gets their exclusive shot to debut the MK sequel on their platform)...What a steal! The Sega Nomad is quite a cool machine, with a display that is closer to the TurboExpress than the Gear. Plus you get to play all your old Genesis carts—what a great place to put them after you buy your Sega Saturn!... seen their Q3/Q4 game lineups and they are BIG! Look for Killing ...Nintendo Ultra 64 gossip is running quicker than the Colorado rapids, but the Q-Mann has been able to get some new info. Wurd has it that Nintendo's stab at a next-gen super system will be released in Japan sometime between Dec. 1 and Dec. 21 of this year. The Ultra Famicom's '95 release (as it will be known on those shores) could be scratched altogether, however, in favor of possible simulta- neous release in Japan and the U.S. due to a lack of software. Seems that the only new softs that will be ready by December are a new Mario title and Cobra, the 3-D flight sim that Paradigm has been working on. Expect more clarification after the Shoshinkai Show in Japan late next month...In other Ultra rumors, wurd has it that Nintendo will do a Super Famicom trip on their Ultra machine by launching it into Japan with only one controller. The sticks are designed so that both flight sims and drivers can be played, as well as more standard fare. Expect to find six buttons (with four on the front of the pad) and joystick functions...The Q has an updated list of softs for the Ultra that includes Ultra Mario Kart, Donkey Kong Fantasy, Killer Instinct 2, Mega Man, Street Fighter, Gidden Eye, Final Fantasy VII and Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball... ...Staying on the Ultra subject, the Q-Mann has learned that Nintendo is continuing to visit the CD-ROM issue and is looking for ways to build the machine with such an upgrade in mind. Although the machine will definitely begin life as a cart-swallower, it seems that a group of Nintendo engineers are interested in exploring the idea of either an upgrade or a hybrid unit to address some of the concerns of software publishers who are balking at Nintendo's cart purchasing terms.

It is an almost exact duplicate of its arcade coun- terpart. The graphics are unchanged and everything that you have learned from playing the arcade is in this version. Smoke is alive and well, although I’m not sure on how to accessible. Whether or not he Ultimate Kombat code not remains to be seen. The com- bos we have all learned are also included, though some of the air juggles are a bit harder to pull off. The only really noticeable difference would be the access time between the matches. That is a pretty small price to pay considering everything else is completely intact. If you’ve been reading EGM then you know that Kitana and Scorpion are returning to the game as well as some others. Unfortu- nately, they will not be appar- ent on the home systems. There is a rumor, however, that a memory card may be released in the future that will allow all the new characters to be played on the PSX. One can certainly hope for that. Whats in there... All the fatalities are intact as well as friendships and other special moves you see in the arcade. This version is not easy by any means as the will be that way or harder difficulty levels provide an enormous challenge. Since the PSX’s controller has multiple buttons, all the buttons are intact and the con- troller has a good feel. Combos and such are fairly easy to pull off. An arcade stick makes the game a little easier since it gives more of a feeling of F being at the arcade. The stages are all intact, including all of the background fatalities. There doesn’t seem to be a sprite of difference. All of the secret button combinations have remained including the mm It's too bad we И probably won't A, see this on the Jl any time soon. the old MK2 B at least for now.

This game has spawned many wonderful games including Mortal Kombat. After lots of upgrades to the original Street Fighter II game, we have a fairly new idea. While this game has been in the arcade for quite some time now, with the advent of better CD systems, we can now have graphically advanced games. It would be an extreme challenge to ec е convert this game to say the Super NES or Genesis. This game is a lot like its arcade counterpart with a few major differ- ences. There are all-new back- grounds and two new characters. The hidden Blanka, who is rumored to be playable in the arcade, is now playable on the Sega Saturn as well as Dee Jay. They add a little more flavor to the game. Blade is the only char- acter missing from the arcade version. Some other differ- ences include the deletion of some of the animations. How iS it There is a Story Mode which follows the plot of the movie with tons of full-motion cinemas directly from the film that are of fantastic quality. Also, it seems that the major combos have been done START о SPECIAL KO HINS. z Е саг «ШЫ ED CN БЕП - away with. The new special moves from the arcade and the red super combos for the characters are also gone. The new back- grounds are really detailed and if you look closely at Blanka’s stage you can see that Dhalsim from the movie is there. All the characters retain the moves that made hem famous. E. Honda’s Hundred-hand Slap and Ken’s amous Flaming Dragon Punch are there. When you beat your opponent with a super combo, instead of an exploding life bar, you get the explosion that was in SS2T. Playing Street Fighter with digitized characters instead of he cartoons that we love is definitely different. Playing this one on a controller is a little more difficult than Mortal, but you do get used to it. The super combos are just as effective as ever, wiping out tons of life on your opponent's bar as well keeping them away. Fans of the genre should find this one enjoyable. The PSX and Sega Saturn are on the move and these titles are just the icing on the cake. A SI The only thing you Fully rendered graphics need is an SNES... mean fully rendered pain.

The enemies attack you from behind crates, high in the buildings above— even from a moving car in front of you. You better be ready to shoot quickly and reload constantly to progress in this game. Virtua Cop 2 is not lacking in the Destruction Department. You can use stationary objects in Virtua Cop 2 to your advantage. By repeatedly shoot- ing at barrels, you can make them explode and kill multiple ene- mies. The same tech- nique can be used throughout the many levels. This is the shooter to end all shooters. Just like in R-Type, you have an option, which can either be launched, or con- nected to serve a special pur- pose such as diagonal firing. The Bosses look incredible!

Look for follow-up coverage as we get more info in! — Mark Hain EA oJ] Shooters have been around for years and there have been many variations of them. In the beginning there was Asteroids and Space Invaders. Then evolved the side-scroller Defender. Since then, shooters have been commonplace in local arcades (even before fighting games). Viper Phase 1 is a shooter similar to Raiden in that it is a vertical-scrolling shooter and you must battle star destroyer-type ships in a space environ- ment. Also, as in most shooters, by shooting cer- tain enemies and or com- plete waves of enemies, you receive power-ups. Mid- and End-Bosses are quite difficult, but can be reasoned with. Overall, for those who are shooter fans, give Viper a try. —Mike Desmond Keep the guns firing at all times to fend off the waves of multiple fighters. As in other shooters, destroy as many targets as possible. The more objects destroyed, the more points gained. Destroying certain objects bear certain gifts, like power-ups.

You and the opponent face off and attempt to force each other off the edge or smash each other until the sphere breaks and then “squishing” the character inside. The sounds of the orbs hitting each other are quite cool, but the voice itself can get annoying after a while. The sound of one orb “squishing” the characters is a great addi- tion to the game.

This game has it all. т amazed with this early version by the looks and easy controls of the boxing movements, but there's still a margin for improvement. һе man should’ve been called “Magnet” Mike Ditka, not "Iron" If his tenure as Chicago Bears’ coach proves any- thing, it’s that Ditka knows how to attract attention. He did it in 1988, when he described Washington Redskin Dexter Manley as having the “IQ of a grape- fruit.” He did it several years later after a loss to the San Francisco ‘49ers, when he threw his gum at a mocking fan. He did it with sideline flare-ups with quarterbacks and caustic comments to a quote-hungry press...the list goes on and on. For 11 seasons, Hurricane Ditka whipped up a torrent of controversy and drama that rivaled the most seamy of soap operas. However, when the Bears began to slide in the early 1990s, it was Ditka caught in the storm. Despite growing criticism over Ditka’s tough style of coaching, the football world still felt shockwaves when the Bears let him go in January 1993. In a bizarre sense, Ditka’s QUÀ OA accomplishments seem almost a sidenote: a stellar playing career as a tight end, an overall coaching record of 122-68, coaching the Bears to a 46-10 win over the Patriots in Super Bowl XX, induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. It's Ditka's personality—his gumption—that everyone remembers. He's down to earth. He tells it like it is, whether you like it or not. Unlike other sports celebri- ties, Ditka's image is not a carefully refined PR firm's creation; it all comes from an honest, fiery man. That trait has won him the admiration of many; most notable are the Saturday Night Live “Superfans,” resident worshipers of “Da Coach.” Now an analyst for NBC sports, Ditka has turned down the heat a bit (much like an oven does when it cools from 400 degrees to 350). In his interview with Team EGM, Ditka offers his take on the state of the NFL and his future plans: Team EGM: Will you ever coach in the NFL again? "I wish I didn’t fly off the handle as quickly as | did Sometimes, but yet...you gotta be who you are.” Ditka: | really don’t know. | don't think so. l'Il be honest with you: | think owners want a different kind of coach—l think they want a low-profile coach, and I’m not a low-pro- file coach. What was your greatest moment in coaching? No question: winning the Super Bowl. That's the ulti- mate goal of every coach—it should be the ultimate goal of every coach. It's taking an organization—in my case the Chicago Bears—that had been a floundering organiza- tion for 20 years, and we took them and we turned that organization around. That was the greatest thrill of my life because it was something not that 1 did, but we did as a team to collectively reach our goal. THE FINAL CUT TECMO SUPER BOWL III: FINAL EDITION Question: Did the 49ers win the Super Bowl because they were the best looking team in the NFL? Of course not! They won because they played the best. Similarly, it is not enough for a video football game to appeal to just the eyes. While most football “games” offer just “eye candy”, ONLY Tecmo gives you the great looks and the awesome game play needed to capture the total NFL experience. Along with offering all 30 NFL teams with 1995/96 rosters, Teemo Super Bowl III - Final Edition brings you the ULTIMATE option: Custom Player Creation. Select name, number, position, team, and customize individual abilities for up to 37 players. Have your custom player play well during the season and you can develop/improve his skills further as you head into the playoffs. Only Tecmo gives you the chance to add YOUR name and player to the huddle with your favorite NFL players. Other clutch options, for those who like to play G.M., are the Trade Mode that allows you to pull the trigger on a blockbuster deal, and the all new Free Agency (FA) Mode. The FA Mode allows your to release/acquire free agents from all of the NFL teams before the season kicks off. You can be conservative and go for backups, or clean some house and go after the best Runningback to put your team in “Prime Time”. Its up to you. Tecmo Super Bowl III - Final Edition not only gives you the players and action you want, it gives it to you the way you want it. The game play is a "snap" to get into and does not require any previous football experience (unlike some other football video *games"). The Tecmo horizontal scrolling perspective allows players to easily follow, understand, and play the NFL experience. After all, it is what you are used to seeing every NFL Sunday on TV. Tecmo even offers a Coaching Mode for those who just want to match their play calling skills with the best of the NFL.

Well, the best player I’ve seen is (Walter) Payton. I’ve seen (Joe) Montana. Outstanding. (Dan) Marino. (Jerry) Rice—the best receiv- er who’s ever played the game. There are a lot of ‘em. | love Barry Sanders. | love Emmitt Smith. | like Troy Aikman. How did you get the nick- name "Iron" Mike? | came out of a steel town in Pennsylvania, and that's basically where it came from. I'm sure that's all it was. | don't know. "Iron" Mike Tyson probably got it from having a hard head. Maybe that's why | got it, the same way. (chuckle) As a person with a seemingly quick temper as a coach, do you ever regret any of the incidents that took place on the sidelines? Well, first of all you say "seemingly." You've gotta get to the point. Either | did or | didn't. Well, seemingly, 1 mean... Well, let me ask you: How quick was that temper in 1985 when we won the championship? It wasn't there. But it was. You see, nothing has changed, nothing ever changed since the first day I coached. It's how the media perceived it. That's why I said “seeming- ly," because every time they showed a picture of you during a football game, it seemed that they'd key on you when... But they'd have the camera on you the whole game so 105 А they can pick any one play they wanted to. But you're right. | do have a temper. There's no question about it. | don't regret a lot of them, but there are a few. Some of the guys l've gotten into Shouting matches with right- fully deserved it, because they were wrong—period. They were wrong not for the sake of being wrong against me, but they were wrong against the organization. | wish | didn't fly off the han- dle as quickly as | did some- times, but yet—you know— you gotta be who you are. Don't forget, in the old days, when (Vince) Lombardi was coaching they didn't have a camera on him every play... who knows how often he got mad? How did you get into coaching? | was a player with the Cowboys my last four years, and when I retired from foot- ball, | was hired by Coach Tom Landry to coach the receivers of the Dallas Cowboys. What advice would you give to the kids today to motivate them in reaching their goals? Never believe there's some- thing you can't do. That's the main thing. | think everybody puts a limitation on them- selves. I think that's the worst thing individuals can do. There is no limit to what an individual can accomplish, especially if he's sane of mind and bogy. If he's healthy, then I think he can accomplish what he wants if he's willing to pay the price. The popularity of the NFL skyrocketed in recent years. What do you feel are a few of the contributing factors in why the league has grown so much? Well, | think it’s an exciting game. I think the excitement of the game is the main thing. | think it’s very competitive and getting more competitive. No one team dominates anymore. But | still feel that it’s com- petitive, it’s a tough, physical football game. | think people relate to that. | think there's enough strategy involved in the game that people can relate to that too. What do you want fans to remember about you either as a player or as a coach? That | always gave my best, that's all. People didn't have to agree with it [what I did]; they didn't have to like it— maybe they did. But | gave my best. On the field as a player | did, and on the field as a coach | did. | never asked a player to do more on the field as | did when | was a player, work any harder or expected any more from them. But | did expect them to play as hard as they could. They can make mistakes in the mental framework, but not because they were lazy. That's all that | ever asked. So that's what | want...that I was fair. I know it's kind of early, but who do you think will be playing in the Super Bowl? The '49ers seem to have the upper hand and it seems they'll continue to have the upper hand, maybe this year again. (But) | already picked it this morning: San Francisco and New England.

However, the control on this game is pretty good, and the motorcycle reacts much like a real one does as you twist and turn your way through the many tracks. There are four different play modes, and you had better head into the pits if you don’t want a poor result. However, this game ran out of gas for me very quickly. EA Sports is going to get some as they went under the hood and rebuilt the NHL Hockey engine. The players are 20 per- cent smaller and that translates into more wide-open game play. The defenses are tougher and goals are harder to come by, so you'll have to find new ways to score. The AI of this game sees players cover for others that get caught out of position, and fighting is back this year. This game is a lot of fun. Virtua Racing is back and it is definitely new and improved. If you loved the 16-Bit versions then you'll love this Sega Saturn version. More tracks and plenty of cool features will make you burn rubber long into the night trying to beat your previous time and take the checkered flag.

The half-court perspective isn't impressive at all. Some of the trash talk from the announcer is cool after you take it to the hoop, make a three-pointer or are reject- ed.

This is good; it gives the game some replay value. Against the 32- Bit games this is still one of the best out there. The arcade edition is a great game and playing this title brings me memories of the high-speed racing experience. But there is still something missing. Despite the intense racing perspectives, | feel the game could have been done better in the graphics department. | know what the Saturn can do; the game didn't use the full capabilities of this machine. Overall, this is a great game to have. Oh, boy. What am I playing here? This game is not pleasing to see or hear.

One of the most anticipated releases is the new masterpiece from id Software, Quake. Following the success of Doom 2, it is easy to see why this game is causing such a buzz. When a company gets ready to release a title as big as this one, it's nearly impos- sible to keep it quiet from the public. It's especially hard when people have access to a mass communi- cation tool like the Internet. id has a homepage on the Net, but up until now, hardly any real information has been released. Now if you're looking for info about Quake, outside of id's site, just grab your board and start surfing to any other game-related site, and you should have no problem. The only problem you might encounter is finding out what is a lie and what is the truth! However, recently id did give the public a little teaser of what the game will have to offer by releasing about 25 screen shots of some of the levels from the game. If there's one sure-fire way to get peo- ple excited about something, it is to keep things a secret. That's what Id is doing. As far as any statistics, id is not ready to comment yet. Until the game hits the shelves, all we can do is cross our fingers and hope that Quake will be well worth the wait. Until then, enjoy the sneak preview.

This sequel to its award-winning predecessor has the same structure, but many enhance- ments were made to improve the game play. The interface has been entirely redone, and a query function has been added. This will enable the player to “right click” on any struc- ture and check out all the info on it similar to SimCity 2000.

The game offers six levels, each with its own sub- levels and missions.

Figuring them out will not be an easy job. First, there are little pit stops in different areas of the track where you will need to stop and recharge your weapons, shields and most important of all, fuel. The tracks themselves are very intricate, sometimes confusing. But with a bit of racing under your belt, you Not being a very big fan of racing games, | really had no idea what to expect. After playing опе race, | was having so much fun | didn’t want to put the joystick down. There are many games nowadays that rely on a lot of the technical aspects (like using 16 dif- ferent keys to control a flight sim), that it gets to be more work than fun. | enjoyed the game. My only gripe was that there could have been more than six tracks and some different weapons. — Mark LeFebvre will notice that there are shortcuts and secret areas to find. The shortcuts are great for making up some time, and the secret areas have tons of power-ups to use to your advantage (if you’re lucky enough to find them). There are four different camera views you can pick from: three trailing views, зо you can see your hover- craft and a cockpit view. I’m partial to the cockpit view myself, because you can tell how bad you’re getting hit by the chain gun by the amount of bullet holes in the windshield. One of the most impor- tant features is the ability to have eight players racing at the same time over a net- work. There is even a league table where you will be able to keep track of your progress. If all the features that Hi- Octane has to offer aren't enough, the graphics on If you have enough time, take a pit stop to fill up on some items you may need. How about ammo? a \ this high-speed racer look great. One great touch is the way the road seems to be blanketed by a layer of fog. This drastically cuts down on visibility of the corners, and makes it hard to see shortcuts. The bottom line is this game has enough cool fea- tures to keep the die-hard racer busy, but can also be enjoyed by somebody who would rather just strap themselves in and play.

The simulation is based on the AH-64D Apache Longbow, and features some of the best-looking 3-D effects I've seen in a sim. As far as combat goes, no expense was spared. It offers three real-world geographic areas in Central Europe, the Gulf and East Asia, encompassing an area of over 2 million square miles. Before heading out to save the world, it's a good idea to check out the training missions in the game. In preparation for a full campaign, learn basic skills of flying at Fort Hood, like weapons training, pre- cision landing and formation flying. When you feel confident enough to take over a small country, choose to start one of the campaigns. There are over 60 play levels to challenge even the most Sophisticated pilots. l've played many sims, and nothing ever impressed me as much as Apache. The game has a really neat feature that allows two people to play at the same time. One player takes on the role as the pilot, and the second player has all the duties of a gunner. If Two-player Mode isn't enough, the game will allow up to 16 players to battle each other via a network. Not only is the flight engine down to the very last detail, so is every aspect of the game. The weapons system is identical to the real thing, including a full integrat- ed helmet and display sight system. The majority of all the information you need throughout a mission will be conveyed to you through your instruments and gauges located on one of the two cockpits avail- able: the pilot and the co-pilot/gunner. Lastly, a lot of flight sims' graphics suf- fer when pixels are enlarged close to the screen. What this means is that if you're 4,000 feet up in the air, the terrain will look picture perfect. Now see what hap- pens when you're 75 feet in the air or an enemy flies right in front of you at a high rate of speed. The image gets blurry and pixelated, taking away from some of the realism. In Apache, a new low altitude 3- D terrain technology was used to solve that problem. The end result is a game that offers.not only true realistic flight, but also the high-end graphics to back it up.

Apache will sell itself on pure game play, realism and enjoyment. A great game overall. INNPACHE CATEGORY || SIMULATION DEVELOPER || INTER. MAGIC PUBLISHER || INTER.

PLAYER’S NOTES: FIRST IMPRESSION The first thing that hit me when | turned this game on was that it is just like the cartoon. And just like the cartoon | couldn't stop watch- ing or in this case, playing! BEST FEATURE The best feature of this game is without a doubt the mystery. All the clues are there to beat the game, but finding them and recognizing them is the trick. WHAT'S MISSING While | did find myself stumped from time to time, the game is not really all that long. Like all games in this genre, | was left wanting WILL YOU LIKE IT? | think that anyone who has ever heard of Scooby-Doo will love to take this game on.

Of course, it is up to you and your faithful buddy Scooby to find out who is responsible. The Lobby When you go into the office on the right, you will see that Blake is gone. Search the office for any clues that he may have left behind. From the upstairs hallway there is a dumbwaiter that you can take down to the kitchen. You will use a lot of things that you find in here so search carefully. That bear in the background really snores loud! | won- der if there is a way to wake him up? What is with that ugly totem pole that is on the bank of the river? In the back lot you must be very careful to pay attention to all of the signs. Try to see if you can acquire the ball that the teddy bear, um, | mean the balancing bear, is using. When you first enter any area, move the cursor around to see what you can use. That magnet doesn’t look fair, does it? Take every- j thing you can and remember that some things you pick up are just clues and are not useful. You need tokens and tickets to play the crane game and the dart game. Of course you can't get the tick- ets until you play the crane game, and you can't play the crane game until you get the tokens.

This makes the game very amusing. BEST FEATURE This would definitely have to be the layout of the different levels. Each level is designed so that you can- not just run through it. Instead, you must find the correct path. And, you can also search for hidden areas. WHAT'S MISSING The worst part of the game is the control. It almost seems like there is a delay between your motion on the controller and what happens on the screen. WILL YOU LIKE IT? Yeah, | think you will like it. | found that the game provided a unique challenge missing from many of the games out today.

However, you will want to search the jungle toward the end of the level because a 1-Up is hidden in the trees. A few well-thrown stones will stop this beast in his tracks. hey Check out this blast from the past. These pits used to wreak havoc in the orig- inal Pitfall, and they are just as much of a pain this time around. After your initiation in the Mayan Jungle, you will find this level a bit more challenging. Unlike the previous level, you will find that the end of this level is a bit harder to find. | personally, would look toward the top, but you may not want to rush right up there. After all, it is nice to find the power-ups, treasure, and 1-Ups hidden throughout the cliffs. Be careful because Pitfall Harry can’t swim very well. Eu Hang on tight Harry!

This was because the game was a bit boring BEST FEATURE The barrage of enemies that you must fight provides intense action. WHAT'S MISSING The controls are smooth, but the helicopter is very limited in its mobility. The lack of the ability to gain altitude and aim your nose up or down makes air-to-air combat dull.

WHAT'S MISSING The programming in this game Seems to be top-notch, with the definite exception being the "projectile collision pro- gramming." Simply put, there seems to be only one "sweet Spot" on the Genestealer where your weapons will do any damage. You can hit a Genestealer a billion times, but unless you hit it near the torso, it will keep charging. IS IT A DOOM WANNA-BE? No. Doom had you run into a room chock-full of demons, blowing them away. Space Hulk requires the player to consider the tactical chal- lenges of team action. This is a great strategy/action game, and an extremely tough one. -Ken Badziak You're the ultimate killing machine, part man and part robot. So what comes out when you tinkle? Never mind that.

This should take care of any Genestealers coming from the first corridor. Have Ezeekiel move directly to point C. Move Azrael to one of the right-hand corners of room B. Sergio provides cover for Azrael as he moves to point D. Have Azrael follow Sergio after he passes. Once in the junction at point D, have Azrael move to the target area in order to flame it. Move Aradiel to point B, simply for backup purposes in case it’s needed. Genestealers killed Akhad. Good thing you have Aradiel in The red arrows indicate the points where the Genestealer swarms come from. Be wary. ARADIEI, SUICIDE! SERGIO AZRAEL (T) EZEEKIEI, AKHAD Play as Akhad for the first few seconds, sim- ply because he's the first to make contact with the enemy. Get ready for some close combat. R R ] Sergio leads the way down the second corridor. You might want to play as Sergio at this time. Because if any Genestealers get to Azrael, chances are he'll get killed. The flamer is useless for close combat. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. Good job! This mission is a doozy. At least three Terminators must survive for a total of five minutes. Your best bet would be to get as many terminators as possible into a room with few doors in it. Unfortunately, your Terminators are scattered around. The trip will be easier for some more than others. Expect to lose a few people here. One method that generally works is to get as many Terminators into a room as possible, like room A. Have one Terminator face toward corridor B and another one facing corridor C. This should cover all points of entry for the Genestealers. Ezeekiel, armed with a flamer that’s only half full, is all but useless in this mission. Try to move him into the corridor where Sergio started, as to get him out of the way. Another method that has had limited results is a bit more complicated, and it involves a lot of jumping between char- acters. Have Aradiel move to point E, and Azrael move to point D. The trick here is to set up a crossfire in the corridor junction, vaporizing anything that wanders in there. Move Sergio out into room A, but keep him clear of corridor C, so that Ezeekiel and (hopefully) Akhad can pass. Once clear of the incoming Terminators, move Sergio out into AKHAD EZEEKIEL() SERGIO 4: MRAEL 5: ARADIEL Rack ‘em up! you first start this mission it would be a good idea to play as Akhad, because he’s the first to make contact with the enemy.

Sega has purchased the rights to several games including Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, Primal Rage and T-Mek. They also had an original title called Kolibri on display. Kolibri is a shooter where the player controls a humming bird. It looks similar visually to Echo the Dolphin. This cold be the game that wins people over to the 32X. T-Mek is a popular arcade game where players compete in hover tanks in an arena. T-Mek is loaded with strategy and secrets. Primal Rage is a well-known coin-op game that features digitized dinosaurs tearing into each other. It looks like a decent lineup. === ч чыча PRIMAL RAGE T-MEK 38 ed n ul Sega Unplugged: the special day where the various magazines were invited to see the latest Sega products. We sent two editors, Andrew Baran and John Stockhausen, to find out what was in store for the world of Sega. The first two days concentrated on the first-party Software. These covered all of the formats from Saturn to 32X. The third day was reserved for Sega's licensees, and 18 companies were there to show off their wares. Here is a small glimpse at what was there. Look for extended coverage in the next issue of EGM. 190 А The Sega Sports lineup was very impressive. World Series Baseball had great voice and graphics. It could possibly be the best baseball game on a home system ever! Sega’s other title, NHL All-Star Hockey, looks great and can have up to 12 players Sega has a number of other games in the works: Ghen War, a mech game; a 3-D action game based on the movie Congo; Wing Arms, an awesome flight sim and a strategy/RPG called Mystaria. SEGA RALLY GHEN WAR ON OF HIDDEN SOULS WING ARMS CONGO MYSTARIA TA E 00 WINS LA NBA JAM:TE NFL QUARTERBACK М Acclaim had three titles up CLUB 96 and running at Sega Unplugged. Mortal Kombat II was a near-perfect translation. You just have to see how close it is. There were 18 companies present with games on display. Some were new, but a couple we’ve seen before. Here’s a list of some of the Saturn titles that were shown or announced: Acclaim had an excellent version of MK2. NBA Jam:TE and NFL Quarterback Club ‘96 was also present. A etn i NC м | Maxis had Sim City 2000, while Data East had Dark Legends. аавв: had а demo of SKELETON WARRIORS DEADLY SKIES Skeleton Warriors, based on the toy line. Viacom BY PLAYMATES BY JVC set out to puzzle players with Zoop. The wonder- ful folks at Crystal Dynamics showed 3D Baseball ‘95, and a bunch of ЗОО translations. Capcom had Fox Hunt, and announced Dark Stalkers Revenge and Street Fighter Legends. Look in the next issue for more extended coverage! Nor Phe folks at Sega decided to spring the Nomad on us to get our opinion. The system itself is slightly larger and a little bit heavier than the Game Gear. The screen resolution is much better, being comparable to that of the Turbo Express. Games fit right in the back. The small screen makes the smaller icons harder to read, but the text in some of the game is intelligible. While the game wasn't in hand, l'd say that it would be able to display Phantasy Star 2 well enough. | did test out the unit with the games X-Men and Comix Zone. The Nomad controls are responsive and it feels right. The Nomad should be released early December, and will retail for around $199.00. The machine uses six double Abat- the ultimate portable? teries and it consumes them in an astonishing three hours. The Game Gear DC power adapter will work with the unit. A TV adapter is also in the works. Overall Ра have to say that as long as Sega keeps the price down, the Nomad will be a success. I’m certainly looking forward to playing Strider on the run. I'm just wondering if Sega will give the Game Gear a quiet death once this thing becomes mainstream. So far, the Nomad looks pretty hot. —Anarew Baran 192 (А эё һы з йшй Nintendo of Japan Super Mario RPG ү -— [^ "mE x AO | Unknown Price | The fabled Mario RPG is now a reality!
