At Funco, we value your business and would like every customer to be satisfied with each purchase. Of the thousands of orders we process, we receive very few returns. It’s important to note that all orders are final and returns can only be exchanged for the same title. We encourage you to first try the game you wish to purchase from a friend, or rent it from a video store so you will be less likely to be disappointed with your purchase.

Up to 80% of the returns we receive could have been avoided if the customer cleaned his/her control deck or game. This is the main reason we offer a year warranty on all of our products purchased with a cleaner. When ordering, please ask your friendly Funco agent for details.

However, if you do have a problem, we want to solve it. Our customer service hours are 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM weekdays, and they will be more than happy to help. Please call them at (612)533-8118.

6. SELLING US YOUR GAMES

Funco’s success, in part, has been it’s ability to help you stretch your gaming dollar by purchasing games you no longer play. To this end, we try to be as fair as possible. Prices are merely a function of supply and demand, much like gasoline pricing. Unfortunately, video game pricing is almost as unstable as gas, so the prices listed in the first column to the right of each title on pages seven,eight,and ten are merely the Suggested Value of what we would pay you at the time this magazine went to press. Prices will change; some go up, but most will go down over time.

b) Call us at (612)533-8118.

For those of you who have been too busy playing “Last Battle” to keep up with the court battles, we thought we'd bring you up to date with the “Game Genie” case.

Last month the U.S. District Court ruled in favor of Lewis Galoob Toys, Inc., in Nintendo of America's copyright in- fringement suit against Galoob's “Game Genie” product. This follows the decision in the preliminary hearings held in both Canada and the U.S. last year. Camerica, the Canadian owner and manufacturer of the “Genie” was awarded full production and distribution rights in Canada, while U.S. courts awarded Nintendo an injunc- tion to halt Galoob's production of the product until the trial this past April.

This most recent ruling enables Galoob to begin production on “Game Genie,” but they are not permitted to promote or distribute the product until the judge's written order and decision is issued in the near future. Nintendo will use this time to determine whether or notto file an appeal on this ruling.

“Game Genie” is a product developed for use on the NES system that allows players to alter or enhance video game play. Players can attach the “Genie” to their

system to give their characters super powers or infinite lives.

According to Nintendo, that by altering a game's rules and limits, the game may become boring and fewer games will be sold. They also state that the “Game Ge- nie” is a violation of both their patent and moral rights. Galoob and Camerica claim that the “Genie” enhances and makes them more playable. They argue that it will breathe new life into old games and will encourage many players to buy games they may have found too difficult in the past.

Gamers in Canada seem to fall on both sides of the fence. 100,000 “Game Ge- nies” were sold in Canada last year and sales this year are anticipated to reach 250,000. Soon game players in the states can decide for themselves.

Our Fun Club staff receives hundreds of calls from distressed gamers who think that their system has malfunctioned or their game is defective. More often than not, the solution is quite simple. Games, decks and hand-held units need to be

cleaned regularly. >

There are no moving parts to break in a game cartridge, so if treated with care a cart should last for many years. However, the contacts in both the system and the games can attract dust and dirt. Dirty decks and carts will demonstrate a variety of irregularities like a flashing screen, a distorted picture or scrambling. This problem can be worse with heavily played or rental games. Many players try blow- ing on the contacts to remove the dirt, but that only adds to the problem. The moisture in breath leaves'a film on the contacts and can even cause them to oxidize, permanently damaging the game.

Lucky for gamers, there is a cure. There are several good and inexpensive clean- ing systems on the market. Most, like Doc's Fix-A-System, come with a car- tridge for cleaning decks as well as swabs and a solution for cleaning the games. We recommend cleaning decks and favorite games at leastonce a month. Borrowed or rental games should be cleaned before you play them. Game manufacturers also suggest that tapes be kept in their sleeves when not in use, away from extreme temperatures.

Following these quick and easy tips should extend the life of your deck and games, insuring hours of trouble-free fun.

The glare of the lights on the ice, the echoing of the slap of sticks colliding, the roar of the crowd. This game isso real you can almost smell the popcorn and hear the soda vendors. Once again, Electronic Arts has proven themselves the champion of sports cartridges with NFL Hockey for the Genesis System. Like their previous successes, John Madden Football, PGA and Lakers vs. Celtics, NHL pays atten- __ tion to detail right down to the zamboni between periods.

This high-sticking, body-slamming, ac- tion-packed game features the line ups of all 26 teams during the 1990-91 season, including the Stanley Cup struggle be- tween the Minnesota North Stars and the Pittsburgh Penguins. Players can select their teams and line ups, home or away, and five, ten or 20 minute periods. There's even a battery to retain the play-offs. This one or two player cartridge allows you to play against the computer, go to the head or work as teammates against the com- puter. Other exciting highlights include multiple penalties, close ups, instant re- plays and actual fights. The only thing missing here is the blood and a few teeth!

This cartridge is hot enough to melt the ice. It may be a tough start for the begin- ning player, but any fan of hockey or sports games will love it.

NHL Hockey Hot Enough to Melt The Ice!

NHL Hockey Review Reviewed by Andy, The Game Dandy

Concept: 9 If you like hockey, this is your game. There haven't been enough two-player games for Genesis in the past. This one even allows you to work as team- mates.

Graphics

& Animation: The graphics are as varied as hockey can be. They even remembered the player numbers and the lights on the ice. Maybe a little more excitement in the crowds would give it that extra punch.

Sound: From the players' groans to the Ref's whistle, the sounds are realistic enough.

Playability: This cartridge is awesome when it comes to play- ability! It's a little tricky at first, but if you're a hockey or a sports fan, you'll catch on quick. The speed may be a little slow, but it's still a great action game. There's so much going on... a gamer really has to stay on his toes.

Entertainment

Value: 1 The Variety of options is enough to keep you busy for a long time. It's like an arcade game. This is easily the best hockey game yet. Mario Lemieux can't hold a stick to this. I'd buy a Genesis System just to play a game like this!

Overall Rating: 9

NHL Hockey Review Reviewed by Rick, The Video Ranger

Concept: 8 It's Hockey which isn't original in its concept. But it allows the player to make choices featuring real teams, real players and real fights.

Graphics

& Animation: 9 The ice is superb! The players are clear and there is attention to every detail... like when the puck flips up in the air.

Sound: 91/2 Now this is hockey. The realism of the sound is radical. From the sounds of the sticks clashing to the crowd noise. And the power behind the check. These are some tough dudes. This is hockey all the way.

Playability: It's a sports game, so people are familiar with the game. The play is a little slow for the expert gamer. But make no mistake — this game is a challenge.

Entertainment

Value: 9 So far, this is the best sports game I've ever played. It's got the action of John Madden, but the graphics are much more serious! Electronics Arts has them- selves another winner! ¢

Letter From The Editor by Elizabeth A. Olson Here at the Game Informer we love to

play video games. That means we get just as excited as you do when a sizzling new

cart is released. With that in mind, we've asked two of our best gamers for their opinions on three of this fall's hottest releases. Both Rick and Andy workdirectly with the games and Funco customers on a daily basis. On a scale from one to ten, ten being the best, we had them rate games in the following areas:

Concept — This is the plot or

the general idea of a game

Graphics/Animation — The

backgrounds, characters and

their mobility, and the “look”

of a game

While we all have our favorite games, we can't play them all. That's where you come in. We'd love to hear about your favorite games and any tips or hints you've discovered. If we print your tip, you'll receive a $25.00 Funco credit towards a purchase. So what are you waiting for? Send your tips to:

De-Cap-Attack: A Ghoulish Adventure Just in Time For Halloween!

Hold on to your hat, or in this case, your head. Sega’s got a new game in store for this Halloween season with real guts. The zany cast in this ghoulish game are sure to make you crack a smile,

no bones about it!

And if that isn’t enough, the Underworld Lord keeps Chuck busy with a wild vari- ety of opponents in the form of ghosts, vultures and werewolves. This fast-paced game will present a challenge and charm you right out of your skin.

Join the seven islands in order to defeat the Underworld Lord

Our mummified hero is Chuck D. Head, who really uses his “innerd-self” to fight off the bad guys. In this Mario-type hori- zontal scrolling game, Chuck punches from the stomach and throws his head for those baddies just out of reach. Other capabilities include jumping, flying and swimming when called for, but watch out for those gnarley otters in sunglasses!

The object is for Chuck to search each of the seven islands (Abdomenland, El Beau Land...) to find the objects necessary to

De-Cap-Attack Review

Concept: 7

Wet and wild fight scenes

Reviewed by Rick, The Video Ranger

This type of game has been done before, but not

for Genesis. It hosts a bunch of unique characters that make it original.

Graphics

& Animation: 7 1/2

The graphics are nice and crisp with variety, but

the background settings are nothing new.

Sound:

The music goes well with the visual and the cast,

but again the music is not unique.

Playability:

The basic idea of the game is easy to understand

and pretty easy to play. It does get a little tougher with each island conquered. There’s lots of hidden tricks that can be a real challenge.

Entertainment Value:

There’s enough originality to keep a gamer’s

interest and the characters are really a scream (pun intended). If you like Mario or Bonk type games, You'll love De-Cap-Attack.

rejoin these lands into one body, thus saving it from the robotic Frankenstein’s nightmare-type Lord of the Underworld.

Overall Rating: 7 1/2

De-Cap-Attack is a fun adventure game in the spooky spirit without all the violence and gore. We recommend that you treat yourself this Halloween, as this is a great game for all ages.
