Every weekend in every state of the union, Pro viewers in the know turn on and video 
out with GAMEPRO, the baddest cart crunchin’, boss heatin’, game playin’ program 
to hit the airwaves in the last millennium or so. (Yeah, we’re pretty proud of it.) So, 
how can we make GPTV an even better source for the hottest tips, tactics, and cut- 
ting edge info? 

We hooked up with USA, a cable television network that’s blasting off into the 
future by merging science fiction, science fact, fantasy, and horror. This slick, 24- 
hour-a-day station will be called the Sci-Fi Channel. Check it out - an entire channel 
devoted to sending chills down your spine, beaming you up, and vegging you out in 
the Twilight Zone. 

Beginning September 24th, Earthlings and aliens alike are invited to tune in to 
scope out new and classic series, movies, and more. Some of our favorites include 
Lost in Space, War of the Worlds, Buck Rogers, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Dr. 
Who, Dark Shadows, Tales from the Darkside, Night Gallery, Space: 1999, Star Trek, 
and the Star Wars movies. Add to that list GAMEPRO the TV show! We plan to dish 
out gaming strategies and previews in-between the blasts and slurps of your favorite 
sci-fi flicks! Starting this fall, you’re gonna get your GPTV at the same time, on the 
same channel, every Saturday and Sunday morning. We’re also producing a series of 
prime time USA Network specials that’ll give you even more of the latest and greatest 
gaming news. Pretty nifty ^angement, eh? 

In the meantime, don’t forget to rip through this issue of GamePro. In response 
to popular demand, we’ve nearly doubled our editorial pages. Check out our guide to 
the hottest up-and-coming comic book carts, tons of great Pro Reviews, killer over- 
seas news, and a slew of super tips, tactics, and strategies. That’s just for starters! 

For all you World Warrior wannabes, we tossed in the one, the only, the killer: 


steel Fighter II SNES Strategy Guide! 

This first installment of a four-part collector’s series is jammed to capacity with 
tips, secrets, and photo maps that’ll make you the best Chun Li or Ken that you can 
be. You’ll go nuts over Dr. Dave’s crushing combo moves, and you’ll send Balrog to 
an early grave with a bonanza of boss-busting tricks. In next month’s edition, we’ll put 
the moves on Dhalsim, Zangief, and Vega. 

So stay cool, and stay tuned to GamePro. We’ve got you covered on the air, in 
print, and on the streets!

Cowabunga, courageous ninja dudes, it's TMNriV-Turtles In Time" for Super NES. The fab four are in a time 
warped tail spin direct from the second arcade game. And there's a most bodacious bonus. Now you can also go 
shell-to-shell in a tasty turtle bash-o-rama mode and find out who's the most radical reptile of them all. 

Take on 10 explosive levels featuring humungoso 3D graphics. You've got nine Turtle attack moves to use 
including the Catapult, Cannon Ball and Bulldozer. This dizzying trek through time takes you A.D., B.C. and A.D.

“Children with diabetes must make 
many decisions during the day regarding 
eating goodies or not eating goodies. 
They must consider the long-term com- 
plications of their decisions.” 

The game also holds important 
lessons for people who don’t suffer from 
diabetes. “Children with diabetes may 
have a hard time articulating what they 
have to go through to friends, neighbors, 
and families,” says Williams. “Captain 
Novolin does the talking for them by 
leaching and sharing information about 
diabetes.” 



TeamwDtlc Pays Off 

Raya Systems teamed up with Novo 
Noidisk Pharmaceuticals to produce the 
game. The National Institute of Health 
gave Raya funds to explore video games as 
an educational tool for diabetes and other 
diseases. Then Novo Nordisk funded 
research and development and helped 
Raya design the character. 

Novo Nordisk will distribute the first 
10,000 carts free of charge to hospitals 
around the country. Novolin will be avail- 
able to consumers in late October. Raya 
and Novo Nordisk plan to create other 
carts about major health care issues, such 
lll9D6t6S DldQnOSSd ^ lung cancer due to smoking. 

Raya Systems seeks to help people with 

diabetes improve the management and Tom* nienrtWy IwMril Game

Diabetes is about to meet its match. Cap- 
tain Novolin by Raya Systems (based in 
Mountain View, CA) is a SNES game, 
which stars a superhero with diabetes. In 
this side-view, horizontally-scrolling, 
aciion/adventure game, the Captain fights 
off sugary alien invaders, such as the Cola 
Creep and Blubberman. His goal is to res- 
cue the mayor, who also has diabetes. As 
he fights, players must help him manage 
his illness by making sure that he takes 
diabetes shots and watches his blood

Basketball, WWF Super Wrestlemania)

went through the normal Nintendo 
approval process. You don’t have be

Virtual Realitq: 


Bullet-Proof is 
Reodi] to E-SCRPE 



Key components of Bullet-Proof Soft- 
ware’s virtual reality arcade system, E- 
SCAPE, are beginning to fall into place. 
E-SCAPE is an interconnecting system of 
pods that will propel players into several 
virtual reality (VR) environments. Instead 
of the helmet-and-glove arrangement 
often associated with VR systems, BP’s 
Pods vrill completely enclose you. Also, 
you can pick the W trip you want to 
take, as well as interact with people in 
other pods. 

Choose Y9ur Reality 

E-SCAPE will offer three types of VR 
games. One will be a non-interactive, 
experiential jaunt (more of a ride than a 
game), but Bullet-Proof plans to make 
your trip worthwhile. At this time, BP 
plans to work with NASA to take gamers 
out of this world via a planetary flyby, 
possibly Mars. 

The second type of game will be par- 
tially interactive, but it will boast dyna- 
mite graphics. BP is designing a futuristic, 
combat, flight simulator. You will fly 
either with or against the other players in 
the Pods. The computer-controlled oppo- 
nents will optimize their attack by learn- 
ing your skills. Boss bad guys will design 
their attacks by absorbing a skill from 
everyone playing the game! 

The third E-SCAPE adventure will be 
completely interactive, will feature state-of- 
the-art graphics, and will be totally familiar 
to the Bullet-Proof Softvv^ faithful. Have a 
nice day, iliFaceball!

Getting Real 

E-SCAPE systems will be designed for 
large theme parks and your friendly 
neigliborhood arcade. Bullet-Proof hopes 
to bring it to a reality near you sometime 
in 1993. 


to reduce tiring of the eyes and to prevent 
any “burning in” of sialic game images. 
The setting also fires up surround sound 
effects for your games by feeding a 20- 
millisecond delayed signal to the rear, 
left, and tight channel speakers. 

Actually, the Program Palettte fea- 
tures predetermined settings that opti- 
mize all key audio and video parameters 
for several types of programs, including 
movies, sports, news, and music videos. 
Individual parameters can be fine-tuned 
by the user after any particular preset is 
selected. 

The XBR2 sports cool TV stuff, too. 
It comes in 27-inch or 32-inch screen 
sizes with Sony’s newest 800-line resolu- 
tion Trinitron tube. The stereo speakers 
are detachable. Plus, you get a universal 
remote control that can “learn” to oper- 
ate VCRs, laserdisc players, cable tuners,

® By the Unknown Gamer 

Arcade, arch-nemesis of 
superheroes everywhere, 
is on the loose again. As 
usual, this strange little man Is creating a 
diabolical amusement park with deadly 
intentions. This time around, he’s bent on 
the destruction of his foes, Spider-Man 
and the X-Men. 

Based on two classic Matvei comic 
book series, this Super Nintendo cart by 
UN pite five superheroes (Spider-Man, 
Cyclops, Wolvmne, Stono, and Gambit) 
against Arcade and his deadly bunch of 
mechanical cronies. Arcade has pre- 
pared a cruel challenge for each of the 
heroes - a room in his amusement park 
filled with robot replicas of their most 
dangerous enemies and especially 
denned to tax their individual super 
powers to the limit. Not even Professor 
X’s “Danger Room” could have prepared 
foem for the tricks and traps they’re 
about to face. 

The game has five sections (one for 
each superhero), and each section has 
two or more levels of vertically- and hori- 
zontally-scrolling, acade-style action. 
Tackle the five sections in whatever order 
you like. When SpkJer-Man and ^1 four 
X-Men are \flCtorious, you fight as your 
favorite superhero in a final climactic bat- 
tle with M;ade. We’ll have a complete 
ProReview on the game in an upcoming 
issue. In the meantime, here’s a sneak 
peek at what’s in store for sup^heroes 
everywhere.

action/adventure cart. Toxie’s out to

added chailenge, he has to rescue his 
mutant pals, the Toxic Crusaders, from

Toxie’s a cult movie star (as the

Toxic Crusaders by Bandai. 


Thfs time Toxie’s In for toxoid trouble 







Crusader theme song will bring a tear to the 
eyes of real Toxic Crusader fans... or is that 
the smog? 

Toxie’s solo quest takes him through 
six levels of sludge, slime, and goop. 

He’s got to make a clean sweep of Tro- 
maville and some of Its most famous 
sites, such asTromavllle High School, 
Tromaville Factory, Tromaville Highway, 
Tromaville Sewer, and Island City. If you 
beat the level bosses, you’ll eventually 
find all the Toxic Crusaders - Nozone, 
M^or Disaster, Headbanger, and Junk- 
yard. Even Toxie’s girlfriend Yvonne and, 
of course, Mom are there. Out to turn 
you into sewer sludge are the Toxic Cru- 
sader bad guys that everyone loves to 
hate: Psycho, Bonehead, Mayor Grody, 
and Dr. Wllemoff. 



It’s Cleanup rime! 

Toxic Crusaders dish out a satisfying 
dosage of hop and bop action. ..well, 
actually mop and sock is more like it. 
Toxie’s only moves are a jump and a 
punch. However, for powerful cleanup 
chores, he can swing a mean Mop when 
he finds it. nin.

Don’t expect to wipe the place up 
with this cart. In fact, it will probably make 
novice gamers and little kids cry. The 
Radiation Rangers and the disgusting 
level bosses show no mercy and they 
attack you relentlessly. There’s radioactive 
slime and goo everywhere. Toxie’s even 
got to ride a skateboard through one 
level. At least completing a level rewards 
you with a password, which is some relief 
from the traumas of Tromaville.

Also, for a mutant, Toxie’s fragile. You get 
three lives with eight Hearts per life, but 
you’ll need every edge you can find. Your 
Mop’s your only weapon, but you’ll have 
a tough time holding onto it as the Radi- 
ation Rangers pummel you.

Toxic Crusader is a gem in the goo. Ninja 
Gaiden and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 
it ain’t, but it’s dam near the next best 
thing. Toxie fights a tough fight and looks 
pretty good doing it, too. Toxic Crusader 
fans will definitely want to mop up Dr. 
Kiilemoff and clean up Tromaville, but 
they’d best be prepared for a fierce fight. 

This cart’s better than you might 
expect. With a name like ‘Toxic,” it’s 
gotta be good!

Yoshi’s basic premise is solid, but the 
game’s one-dimensional and not as 
complex as other puzzlers. You can’t 
even make matches in multiple direc-

seva'al game settings. AType is a 
straight-up, high-scoring affair, and the 
action gets faster as you match more 
characters. B Type pre-stacks the screen 
with icons, and you must clear out the 
pile to advance to the next stage. 

An options menu enables you to 
choose the level of play, alter the game’s 
speed, and select one of three back- 
ground tunes. Yoshi’s graphics are 8-bit 
average, and the music borders on 
obnoxious. At least the control is neariy

DragonStrike is the ne)cl in FCI^ series of 
games with the Advanced Dungeons and 
Dragons theme. If you’re expecting anoth- 
er role-playing game, you’re wrong! If 
you’re expecting DragonStrike, ttie PC 
version, you’re wrong agan. DragonStrike 
is a one- or two-player, shooter/action/ 
adventure hybrid, with an overhead-view 
and an unusual style of gane play. 

Your task is to vault onto the back of 
one of three different dragons and clea 
out all the Draconians and unfriendly 
Dragons from the 1 3 regions of Ansalon. 
The three benevolent Dragons have dif- 
ferent abilities, including speed, armor, 
breath weapons, and health. 

Controlling a dragon takes practice. 
It’s a little tricky learning how to maneu- 
ver him and it’s never quite as precise as 
you’d like it. However, once you get the 
hang of making tight turns, it’s fairly auto-

pace in an NES field too cluttered with 
games that look the smie. A few prob- 
lems with control and average tunes mar 
the overall effect, but decent graphics 
and original game play more than com- 
pensate. If you’re looking for a change of 
pace, give DragonStrike a test flight. 


PROTIP: ne Gold Dragon Is slow, but he 
has powerful weapons and excellent 
health. He's a good choice for beginners. 

Upon flying into enemy territory, 
you’ll discover different terrains. The 
locales include the Seashore, the Desert,

Aye Carumba! Feeling a 
I sense of deja vu? You’re not 
crazy. This game’s been 
reviewed two other times for the Genesis 
and the SNES. This latest Krusty claim to 
fame is for the NES by Acclaim. 

WhaVs With the Rats, Man? 

Krusty’s Fun House is infested with rats. 
Krusty’s gotta nail the vermin or it’s say- 
onara Fun House. Although he gets a lit- 
tle help from Bart, who mans the traps, 
Krusty’s gotta rely on you in this one- 
player action/puzzler. 

There are five garish sections in the 
Fun House, some with as many as 14 dif- 
ferent levels. In each level, you must figure 
out how to lure the rampaging rodents to 
traps so that Bart can squash, zap, or oth- 
erwise exterminate them. You can tackie 
the levels in each section in any order you 
like, but you cant move on to the next 
section until you’ve finished all of the lev- 
els. Although the challenge gets tougha- 
with each section, advanced gamers 
won't bust too many brain cells. 

Rodent Roundup 

It’s not really clear who’s smarter - Krusty 
or the vermin. The big K has to use the 
stuff he finds lying around the Fun House 
to make a path that leads the squeakers 
straight to the trap. He uses old Pipes, 
Blocks, Super Springs, and Glass Jars to 
steer the rats ova; under, up, and around 
the maze of each level until they’re splat- 
ted by Bart. 






Unfortunately for Krusty, there’s a 
bunch of other nasties running around 
the Fun House. When he gets a load of 
the Vaiom Vipers, Lasa' Aliens, Pink Fly- 
ing Pigs, and otha assorted oddballs, he 
just might collapse in exhaustion. Luckily, 
someone’s hidden a lot of junk food 
inside of blocks. If Krusty grabs a Burga, 
Potato Chips, or a Shake, he can beef up 
his health. Other blocks hide bonus 
points or event -ups. 



PROTtP:AiiMays ffte down, Ibvsty batttes 
the bad guys with, what else, a Pie in the 
fyce. IGd( every block in sea^ of hidden 
Pie stashes. You’re gonna need ’em 



PftOTIP: Many times you’li have to use an 
item more than once to roimd up the rats. 
For example, in the second section’s ttdrd 
door to the left, you’ll have to petionn a 
rapid relay with the blue blocks to get the 
rats to the trap. 



PR071P: When you enter the door in the 
secret passageway in Section 1, quickly 
grab the blue block (In the verBcai pas- 
sageway to the far left). Now, drop down 


right until you find Bart Positiott toe blue 
block so toat it covers the hole and pre- 
vents the rats horn dropping into the hole. 
If you don’t do this qiA^, theratswili 
become trapped in the hole and you can’t 
complete the room. 

Puzzling Coadusiaiw 

Cool graphics give a carnival atmos- 
phere to the Fun House and capture that 
Simpsons feeling. The grating tunes, on 
the other hand, are a real bumma, man. 
Turn them off! Krusty’s Fun House is a 
great puzzle game for first timers or for

Super NES 

Action Replay 


Replay It Again, SHES 

The Genesis Action Replay is a little 
black cartridge that knows cheating (See 
GamePro, The Cutting Edge, June ‘92.). 
Well, 16-bit Nintendo players won’t be 
left out in the cold. The U.K’s Datel Elec- 
tronics makes a Super NES Action 
Replay that could arrive on U.S. shores in 
the near future. 

The SNES Replay’s fully armed and 
ready to play with the same features as 
the standard Action Replay and the Pro 
Version. You can use the cheat codes 
packaged with the unit or create your 
own with the built-in decoding system. 
This Replay also acts as a convertor for 
Japanese carts, so you can intwchange 
Super NES ^d Super Famicom games! 

Like the Genesis version, the Replay 
slides into the cartridge slot. You plug 
any game into the Replay’s input port, 
then prepare for liftoff. Basic cheats are 
as easy as a flip through the code book’s 
pages. You find your game’s listing, then 
plug in up to four cheats at the Parame- 
ter screen. Most cheats give you super 
playing power, such as infinite lives, extra 
ammo, and endless continues. You can 
activate and deactivate the effects with 
the handy-dandy Enable switch. 

reacA a Replay New Ricks 

If you’re a code cracker by nature, you’ll 
love the Action Replay’s Trainer option. 

The Trainer offers five different decode 



Game Boy 

Game Genie 


modes - Countable Number, Timer, 

Energy, Status, and Slow-but-Sure. 

The settings vary slightly in implemen- 
tation, but the principle is the same. 

You flick on the Trainer and simply 
play your game. The Action Replay 
reads the game information and iso- 
lates a single statistic, such as a life 
bar. Then it generates a code based 
on an infinite setting for that statistic! 

In concept, you could whip up 
codes for a platoon of Turtles in 
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV an 
armada of soldiers in Contra III, and end- 
less energy in Super Adventure Isl^d. 
With the Trainer, the Action Replay 
sounds like a great do-it-all for SNES 
players in need of a little hardware help.

Handheld Wishes Come live 

Galoob’s Game Boy Game Genie is on 
its way! A close replica of its NES and 
Genesis cousins, the GB Genie enables 
you to input up to three wishes at the 
code screen. You kick the effects in or 
out with a code on/off switch. A 100- 
game code book is packaged with the 
unit, giving you infinite lives, more 
power, and level-skipping. Plans are 
also in the works to include an edited 
code book, which lists the most popular 
games and slips into the back of the 
Genie for extra portability. 

In November, look for a Super NES 
Genie to follow hot on the heels of the

Masters, Get in G^r 

Now ail you on-the-go gamers can 
play Sega’s 8-bit Master System 
games, and you won’t need to stuff an 
SMS into your pants pockets. All you 
need is a handheld Game Gear, an 
SMS cart, and Sega’s Master Gear 
Converter. 

The unit looks simple and is. You 
slide it into the Game Gear’s slot and 
lock it in place with a screw. Then 
you insert Master System games 
into the cartridge port, and let the 
games begin! 

Now you can dance along with 
Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker, 
stride across Kazafu with Strider, 
and out-fox Psycho Fox. The box 
warns that certain Master System 
games’ text lines may be illegible on 
the sm^l screen, so watch out before 
attempting to play a text-heavy RPG 
in this configuration. Otherwise, the 
Master Gear is your ticket to 8-bit action in

like to play overseas carts in your U.S. 
system, here are a few solutions. 

The Mega Converter by Innovation 
plays Genesis games in your Mega

alternatives to surgically altering your

By Unofeum Blown Apart 

Mother Earth can breath 
easier. The Global Gladia- 
' tors, Mick and Mack (with 
the help of McDonald’s Hamburgers) are 
here to clean up the environment on your 
Genesis. This Virgin game is nothing like 
its Nintendo cousin, M.C. Kids. There’s 
no family resembiancell After playing this 
cart, you won’t want anything else but a 
Big Mac and fries! 


First 

The Earth is infested by pollutants and 
grime. Smog, litter, toxic waste, acid rain, 
and various other environmental down- 
ers threaten to ruin our planet. Luckily, 
Mick and Mack are here to save the day. 

Armed with only your Goo Gun, you 
run and hop around as either of our envi- 
ronmentally conscious heroes. The 
action isn’t intense, but it’s extremely 
fast. Your boys run really quickly. Some- 
times they plunge off a cliff before they 
even realize that they were near the 
edge. Fortunately, they can skid to a stop 
just as quickly. Unfortunately, though, the 
guys can’t combat grime together, and it 
can get lonely in the four environments 
(each with three levels)— Toxitown, the 
Arctic, the Forest, and the Slime levels. 



PROTIP: Most of the time you can’t see 
ffvund-tevel tetraln. Tala leaps of faith, 
MIookforIxtbblingbubMesatthebothm 
of the screen, bt the forest and the slime 
levels, they’re a hint not to Jump. 
PROnP:'nie fflwmd may look soUd under 
your feet, but ft can be deceiving. WaMi 
out for mud slides. 




Big Mac Attack 

Waste threatens to choke you, literally, 
and it comes in all shapes and sizes. Thg 
animated pollutants are more annoying 
than tough to beat. Just one blast with 
your Goo Gun and they’re back to 
biodegradable sizes. 

On the Slime level, big globs of goo 
spit toxic waste at you. In the Forest, 
you’ve gotta watch out for hard-hatted 
squirrels, hatchets running wild, chain saw 
massacres, jumping big-mouthed (and 
toothed) crustaceans, and skunks. They 
seem harmless, but there won’t be any- 
thing left of the trees if you don’t stop ‘em. 


PROTiP: Watch out for the crustaceans that 
Jump from the water In die Forest Levels. 


The Arac las many dthly landscapes. 

When you play in the Toxitown lev- 
els, you can tell this game was created in 
LA. Big clouds of smog blow dirty air at 
you. Garbage cans chuck tin cans in 
your direction. Plus, you have to fend off 
acid raindrops, fire that jumps from fur- 
naces, and jack hammers. 


Pollutants and waste can be hazardous to 
your health. 

You’ll find the inhabitants of frie Arc- 
tic cool towards strangers, not to men- 
tion cruel. Battle Polar Bears, cyclones, 
snowb^l-chucking Abominable Snow- 
men, and chomping avalanches. 

PROTIP: In the Forest’s third stage, man- 
eating plants spit at you, but you can’t klH 
them. Tty to anki dielr saliva.

If you try. 

The sound effects and graphics are 
good enough to make Ronald proud. 

Mick and Mack scream “ouch” when 
they’re hit and “ awesome" or “cool” 
when they get high-scoring items. The 
music is good, but a little repetitive. The 
graphics are un-McBeatable! The 
McDonalds references are there, but mini- 
mal. If you linger too long in any one 
place, Mick and Mack start blowing bub- 
bles with their bubble gum, or they wiggle 
their eyebrows. So, keep up the pace. 


Happy Ueal 

Keeping the Earth litter and pollutant free 
is a dirty job, but everyone’s got to do it. 
Mick and Mack just make it gallons of 
fun. So, do your part, by joining the 
Global Gladiators. 


They can cost you a life, even when you’re 
standing innocently on the ground away 
horn the edge of the water. 

The beasties will trip you up in your 
search for the Golden Arches. In this 
game, however, they aren’t always gold. 
Sometimes they come in different colors, 
like blue, yellow, red, purple, etc. The col- 
orful Arches blend in well with the vibrant 
background graphics. 


FftOTV: Keep an eye out for secret Mglhki- 
the-skypiatforms. You can Jump on them to 
get bonus hearts, 1-ups, clocks to Increase 
your thneKndt, and ligh scoring Arches. 


PR07P: Don’t fret If you can’t reach 
those high up hearts, 1-ups, and Arch- 
es. If you have patience and keep 
Jumping, you’ll get your well deserved 


Waste Not, Want Hot 

Once you reach the end of a level, Ronald 
urges you on with his checkered flag. 
The 1 1 bonus rounds force you to recy- 
cle. (We should all being doing it any- 
way.) You have to catch falling 
newspapers, aluminum cans, and 
glass bottles, and put them in their appro- 
priate containers before the next piece of 
debris falls. The rounds get progressively 
harder, of course.

Get out yer high tops! The 
Admiral’s set sail for the 
Genesis. 

David Robinson's Supreme Court by 
Sega is a no-frills b-ball cart. It doesn’t 
recreate real-life pro teams with their 
actual stats. In fact, you only play with 
four fictional teams. You even have to 
earn the right to play David Robinson 
(the NBA’s premier center) by winning a 
tournament. However, the cart’s anony- 
mous ball players dish out vigorous 3- 
on-3 and 5-on-5 basketball action. 



Time Into the Sega Sports NetworfL 



In this pro-style hoops contest, you can 
elect to take part in an Exhibition game 
against the computer or a friend. The 
way to go for single players, however, is 
to enter an all-out Tournament. You play 
5-on-5 versus three teams. Then you 
enter a two game play-off series for the 
right to meet the y^l-Star team, led by the 
awesome Mr. Robinson! 

Build your play-off team with a cool 
Draft feature, which adds a unique ele- 
ment of strategy to the game. First, you 
select the city you’ll represent (Los Ange- 
les, Chicago, Detroit, or New York). Then 
you draft players from a pool of 20. Your 
team begins with five players, and you 
draft five more. Take turns drafting play- 
ers with the other teams. 

Each team has strengths and weak- 
nesses, so draft for need. For example, 
Detroit is loaded with fast runners, but 
they have a tendency towards foul trou- 
ble. Players are rated in average points 
per game, rebounds per game, steals 
per game, and blocks per game. You 
can’t save your teams per se, but in 

48 


Tournament Mode you can earn a pass- 
word after each game. 


In Your Eyes and Ears 

Supreme Court’s sharp, 3/4 view graphics 
are above average. They enable you to 
clearly pick your players out of frie melee 
of nonstop, in-your-face action. 

However, this game displays action a half- 
court at a time. When the player with the 
ball reaches center court, the soeen 
scrolls. The momentary fede-out will disori- 
ent you at first. More vexing are the direc- 
tional controls, which ^so change. The 
music’s okay for five minutes. However, 
the specif effects make up for the tunes, 
paticularly the boos from the crowd 
when you screw up.

When you reach each geographical

three different spots for clues. Clues help 
you solve the case in two different ways. 
First off, they enable you to track your 
globetrotting suspects as they wander

the World Almanac and the New Ameri- 
can Desk Encyclopedia, you can figure 


out where in the world the suspect has 
gone and head there yourself via a global 
map and your handy jet. 


PROW: You must track the thief within a 
particular time frame. As you Jet set across 
the lAanet, remember where you’re coming 
from. If you go to the mong location, you’ll 
need to quickly backtrack. 


your Acme Comlink computer. The com- 
puter searches its dossiers and issues a 
Warrant for the arrest of the subject. You 
can’t nab the thief unless you have the 
correct Warrant. 


Clues also help you build an accu- 
rate description of the suspect (Sex, Eye 
Color, Hair Color, Hobby, Feature, and 
Vehicle). When you feel you have enough 
info to ID the villain, feed the data into 


nOW: Don’t try to get all five pieces of 
the Warrant Data. Three is usually enough 
ta nab the correct suspect 

Once you catch up with Carmen or 
a member of her crafty gang, the 
loc^ police will arrest the culprit 
if you’ve done your job and 
you have the right Warrant. 
As you solve more cases, 
you earn promotions from 
the Acme Detective agency 
and take on more compli- 
cated work. You also receive 
a security code that enables 
you to continue sleuthing at 
your new advanced rank.

Where in the World features a similar 
interface to Where in Time. However, 
it’s a little more complicated, and some- 
how not as satisfying as Where in Time’s

essentially the same. While neither of Car- 
men’s products are gonna satisfy gamers 
who yearn for action, both are a great way

If you’ve played and died.. .and played 
and died on Smash TV. in the arcades, 
you’ll be right at home on tonight’s Gen- 
esis episode. This cart’s a fairly faithful 
translation of the coin-op shooting spree. 

Arcadians who loved the coin-op’s 
dual joystick firing system are in for good 
news and bad news. You can use both 


Genesis pads in tandem to replicate the 
effect, but this is a clumsy setup. Alter- 
nately, you can use only one controller. 
The three fire buttons shoot forward, 
backward, and lock-in one direction. This 
gets the job done. However, it’s not as 
precise as the Super NES edition’s eight-

All you faithful Smash viewers will see 
that the Genesis version’s exciting thrills 
and messy spills are close to the arcade 
original’s gory standards. One or two oh- 
so-lucky contestants, the Red Guy and 
the Blue Guy, battle through four over- 
head-view studios jam-packed with 
senseless violence. Wave after wave of 
humanoids attempt to club, zap, and 
trample you to death. Every demise is 
punctuated with a bloody explosion.

Now a shoot-em-up classic in the annals 
of arcadedom. Smash TV. has a reputa- 
tion to uphold. The Genesis version 
comes close to the high standards set by 
the Super Nintendo and the coin-op ver- 
sions, but graphics, sounds, and control 
fall a bit short. Still, the game brings 
home all the blasting action you care to 
handle. Smash TV is right on target.

Pack your lunch and get a 
good night’s sleep, ’cuz the 
fishing derby starts at 7 a.m. 
and you’re gonna need all the rest you can 
get! Sage’s Creation has landed a slow- 
but-strong game with the first ever fishing 
cart for the Genesis, King Salmon. 

Not for Minnows 

Let’s get one thing straight, if spending an 
aftanoon fishing doesn’t sound attractive 
to you, then throw this one back. But if 
you enjoy sport fishing, then this game 
has enough depth to send you reeling. 



PBiniPiSehctLhfeHemng from the Lure 
menu. The haring’s the thing wherein 
you’li cahsh the conscious of the King. 

Thtllin’ down the River 

There are three basic modes of play in King 
Salmon: the Wide Area map, the Point Map, 
and the Rght. The graphics are nicely 
detailed all the way down to the water cur- 




PBOTP: Ifyouriine is in danger of being 
cut by anotha boat’s propeKa,fdioose the 
“red in fyst” option from the menu. 


realistic, and the action is fast-paced. Dur- 
ing the fight, you can reel or thumb the line, 
pump the pole, and rest your arm to revital- 
ize your strengtti. 



King Salmon provides hours of 
potential play time with four different con- 
tests: Vancouver Island, the Kenai River 
Basin, the Salmon Fishing Derby, and the 
World Record Challenge. During each 
contest, you have from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. to 
catch as many King Salmon as possible. 
That’s a lot harder than it sounds. 

If you tow the lure behind a school 
of minnows, you’ll catch plenty of fish. 
However, the King Salmon are few and 
far between. Just like real fishing, there 
are many variables to consider when 
hunting for the big one. You choose your 
type of lure, control the distance 
tetween the lure and the boat, and 
adjust the depth of your hook. Other vari- 
ables, like weather and current, are 
beyond your control, but the master 
angler will take heed of these conditions. 


rents. The Wide Area Map is for cruising to 
a good spot for trolling (towing a lure behind 
your boat). The Point Map is for trolling. 

Trolling takes loads of patience and 
hooking a fish is a challenge, To set the 
hook, you must pull your rod the moment 
a fish’s bite makes the rod flex. 



PROT^ To snag a King, wait unta your pole 
bends five times and ptd up on the fifth ffex. 


Looking for a Fight? 

The coolest part of King Salmon, as in real 
fishing, is the Fight. The sounds are 


At critical points in the Fight, you 
face tough situations. The carl displays 
three solutions, and you select the b^t 
answer to the problem. For example, if 
you’ve been reeling in line and the fish 
starts heading for the bottom, you’d bet- 
ter decide to let out some slack or the 
stress will cut your line. 

Go Fish? 

If you like fishing, or think you may, then 
you’ll get hooked on King Salmon, if not, 
tackle another cart.

This shooter is reminiscent of Operation 
Wolf. In it’s military-style combat, you 
defend yourself against attacking jets, 
planes, and jeeps. Your weaponry 
includes a machine gun, an anti-tank gun 
and missile fire. Power-up by tagging 
crates loaded with ammo. 

Ready, Aim, Tomato^ 


Sega’s whacky space duo, ToeJam & 
Earl, are back in a shooter the likes of 
which you’ve never seen. TTie game fea- 
tures all of the odd characters from the 
original Genesis game, including the 
Ducks, the Mad Scientist, and even the 
Cupids. T & J lob tomatoes at the weird 
earthlings, try to snag bushels of replace- 
ment tomatoes, dodge tomatoes tossed 
in their direction, and grab fast-food 
munchies to keep their energy level high. 


WhackbaR 


Whackball is a variation on the Pong/ 
Arkanoid theme. You use the Menacer to 
shoot a ball and make it bounce inside 
different rectangular patterns of blocks. 
You’ve got to hit all of the blocks, avoid 
the holes, and collect power-ups that 
give you advantages. Cool pinball sound 
effects round out the package. 

Pest Control 


ITiere’s a nice, juicy, mouth-watering 
pizza just sitting thwe waiting for you to 
chow down. Gross! Bugs are munching 
on your ‘za. Blow those bugs away, or 
you’re gonna go hungry. 

Rockman’s Zone 

You’re an FBI agent-in-training, just prac- 
ticing your sharpshooting skills. Nail bad 
cardboard cutouts, but don’t tag the 
good guys. Oh, and by the way, the 
cardboard cutouts shoot back! 


Get ready to set your sights on Sega’s 
new light-gun, the Menacer. The gun fea- 
tures three modules: the Master Module 
or main firing component, the Stabilizer 
Module or arm piece, and the Binocular 
Module. You can assemble the three 
modules in four different configurations. 
Throw in the Accu-Sight cursor (an 
optional cross hairs targeting device), 
and you’ve got seven or eight different 
ways to use the gun. The gun works via 
infrared, requires six AAA batteries, has 
adjustable range, and features an auto- 
matic power-saver shutoff if you don’t 
use it for two minutes. Currently on target 
for a late October ‘92 release, the Men- 
acer will retail for $59.95, which includes 
all three modules and one cartridge with 
six different games. We’ll have an in- 
depth rating of the Menacer and its soft- 
ware in an upcoming issue. 

Space Station Dekndm 


Endless onslaughts of alien warriors 
materialize and attack you on a strange 
lunar landscape. As each group of aliens 
appears, you must guess who’s going to 
fire first and take that alien out before it 
nails you. Each attacking wave has more 
aliens in different configurations.

By Earth Angd 

The Prince of Persia, one of 
gamedom's most famous 
'* heros, has been called into 
service once again. Jaffar, a vile Prime 
Minister, has snatched the Princess and 
holds her hostage in the Sultan King’s 
palace. His sinister plot is to take over 
the country in the King’s absence. As the 
Prince, you must save the Princess and 
vanquish Jaffar. 


Open Sesame 

Prince of Persia, one of the best known 
game titles of all time, has made an 
appearance on almost every PC and 
video game platform. At long last, Kona- 
mi brings us the Super Nintendo version. 
Fans of the game will rejoice when they 
plug in this cart, hear the first haunting 
strains of bewitching Middle Eastern 
music, and catch their first glimpse of the 
lonely princess awaiting rescue on the 
castle parapets. This translation is a feast 
for the eyes, the ears, and all your other 
senses. It’s just about the ultimate in 
challenge for expert gamers!

For the uninitiated, the Prince’s task is 
to battle his way to the Princess by mak- 
ing his way through 20 vertically-and hori- 
zontaliy-scrolling, side-view castle levels. 
Prince of Persia veterans will recognize 
some of the levels, but also find some 
entirely new ones. The quest begins in the 
bowels of the castle prison, where the 
Prince has been locked away to rot with 
more than a few fellow unfortunates. To 
find the door that leads to the next level.

our hero 
makes his 
way through a 
winding 
labyrinth of tun- 
nels, passageways, 
ledges, deadly drops, gates,

where you must move left or right, move

way. Run right until you find the Sword!

and even his own alter

only way to defeat any of these foes is

battle - and a hefty dose of quick wits.

Level 3 contains the Mmous “leap of

Proof Software goes the other way, and 
scores big. 


Play Ball wHh Faceball 

Faceball 2000 for the SNES takes essen- 
tially the same tag ’em and bag ’em 
action from the popular Game Boy cart 
and gussies it up with outta sight SNES 
graphics. You enter a bizarre series of 
mazes to play virtual reality dodge ball 
with a bunch of smiley-faced, geometric 
creatures gone berserk called Smiloids. 



la Cybenone, the Smiloids will get you if you 
don’t watch out! 

At its wildest, the game’s like a 
1970’s nightmare flashback. Smiley 
Faces swarm around you. Every time 
they knock you for a loop, they say, 
“Have a nice day.” The silly, vapid phrase 
drives you nuts after awhile. You gotta 
admire such a deliciously depraved 
sense of humor! 

Maze Daze 

There are two basic games; Cyberzone 
and Arena. Yes, that’s Cyberzone not 
Cyberscape, Game Boy Faceball fans. 
Unlike GB Cyberscape, where you had 
to search for the exit, Cyberzone focuses 
on Smiloid smackin’ fun. You merely zap 
a certain number of Smiloids to reveal 


the way out. The ‘Zone consists of 41 
increasingly tough levels, plus eight 
Bonus Levels. You won’t beat this game 
anytime soon! 

PR0J1P: As soon as you enter a Level, 
swing inunediaMy around. You never 
know what’s waiting behind you. 

PROTIP; The Master Smilmd i^t the only 
surprise on the 41st Level. 


Arena is a one-time, free-for-all. It’s 
you versus the Smiloid All-Stars. You 
pick one of 1 6 mazes. First team to score 
10 hits gets to tell the other team to 
“Have a nice dayl” 



PR071P: One successful strategy in a two- 
player Arena match is to position yourself 
to cover each other. 


Smiloids-in-your-Face 

The Smiloid opposition has rolled over 
from the Game Boy version. Shootmes, 
lshootu2s. Rovers, Gremlins, Turkeys, and 
the obnoxious Bouncers are out in force. 



PR071P: In the easy early lev^s of Cyber- 
zone, don’t exit until you find the power- 
ups. For examine. Level 1 has Arnw and a 
Speed-Up. Level 2 and Lev^ 6 have ShlMs. 
Uvel 3 has a Sensor and a Weapon. 


PROTIP: To attadr moving Smiloids from 
afar, surdi as Gremlins, fire a string of balls 
across their paths. 

To help against your good-natured 
geometric foes, you can find power-ups 
hidden in special Pods. Power-ups include 
Mnor, Speed-Ups, and Sensors, which 
reveal your foes on your Level Radar. 

Pul on a Ha^iy Face 

Faceball’s graphics are SNES sharp. 
There’s realty not that much variety to 
them, but oh how they move through 
those weind mazes! You get an awesome 
first-person perspective of the action, 
which surrounds you with the labyrinthine 
Faceball environment. Some of the back- 
grounds are knockouts. 



mOTIP: Have a nice day! 

Two-player games feature a slick 
split-screen view. In versus games, you 
can see yourself In your opponent’s 
screen. However, the cheat factor isn’t 
significant. The music and the sound 
effects are just right. You might even turn 
up the volume. 

Have a Mice Play 

Faceball 2000 Is a simple game concept 
that works. What you see is what you 
get. So, if you like what you see and read 
here, get it. The only thing this game’s 
missing is the Game Boy’s four-player 
capability, Until that SNES technological 
breakthrough occurs, that’s right.. .have a 
nice daaaaaayl

By Mister aister 

) TOP SECRET! (For Your Eyes 
Only): Sources report that 
THQ has created a new SNES 
game based on the cartoon adventures of 
a world famous super spy’s teenage 
nephew, James Bond Jr. Tbis multi-level 
action cart is believed to be a combination 
of several game styles. It’s reportedly 
packed with nonstop action and adven- 
ture. Your mission, should you choose to 
accept it, is to go undercover and acquire 
more detailed information about the 
specifics of this game! 

Secrel Teen Agent 

The agents of SCUM, a nefarious crimi- 
nal organization, have stolen priceless 
items that contain secrets to vast riches 
and power. With his arsenal of secret 
weapons and vehicles to help him, it’s up 
to James Bond Jr. to track these villains 
throughout the world and put an end to 
their sinister plans. 



least, the controls are great. TheyYe easy 
to learn and extremely responsive. 

On the adventure levels, watch out 
for SCUM agents, cannibals, pop-up 
spikes, toxic waste pools, and laser 
defense traps. When the game turns into 
a shooter, navigate around mines, attack 
choppers, SAM launchers, attack jets, 
and even suicidal gondola drivers! 


Meet I.Q., creator of rad "secret agent stuff!” 

The seven tough levels of this single- 
player game feature multi-directional run, 
jump, and punch adventuring, which alter- 
nates with challenging, side-scrolling, 
shooter action. As James, you must 
explore the treacherous ruins of an ancient 
temple, trudge through a murky maze of 
underground labyrinths, and dash through 
the frozen SCUM HQ for the final show- 
down against the devious SCUM Lord! 
Each shooter level features James in one 
of his ultra cool, heavily armored, assault 
vehicles, such as the Minicopter, the High- 
powered Speedboat, and the Minijet. 

Shaken, not Shired 

JB Jr. will make you cry U.N.C.LE.! Each 
level is full of SCUM traps and goons out 
to revoke your secret agent’s license. At 



PBOllP: Keep yourMinicopIsr dose to the

PR071P: Don’t let enemy choppers pass by or 
they’ll launch a sneak attack from behind. 

PBOfiP: Drop as many bombs as possible 
on the Boss helicopter before it Mes off. 


Just like his namesake, James has 
an arsenal of high-tech, secret agent 
weapons and gadgets to help him. 
Adventure levels are full of power-ups 
and bonus items, such as Superjump 
Sneakers, Snake Charming Electro- 
Flutes, Freeze Bombs, Rocket Shoes, 
and Laser Rings. Power-ups for vehicles 
include Shields, Nitro Boosts, and 
enhanced weaponry. 



PROnPr To Junto higher, keep pressing 
dovm at the Jump Irntton. 

PR071P: Escape traps by continuously iv^- 
gling the directional controls back and forth. 

For }bur Eyes and Ears Only 

James Bond Jr. features bright, colorful 
graphics with large, crisply-animated, 
character sprites. You’ll get noticeable 
slowdown on shooter levels whenever 
there’s a mob of sprites on-screen. How- 
ever, the crowded adventure levels are 
smooth. A sharp, hip soundtrack befits 
the espionage story line, and digitized 
sound effects, such as explosions and 
grunts of pain, add some pop. 

Licensed to Thrill 

This game’s fun, but it’s practically a sui- 
cide mission, especially the long, obsta- 
cle-filled. intense, shooter levels. 
Fortunately, continues are unlimited and 
you get passwords . 

A well-rounded game with a variety 
of gaming challenges, James Bond Jr.’s 
as classy as his famous uncle. I spy an 
SNES hit!

The baddies in this prehistoric saga 
are a bunch of goofy Neanderthal villains 
called Rockys, as well as the fiendish flora 
and fauna of prehistoric Earth. The Rockys 
have snagged a powerful fuse (don’t try to 
figure out how they got it). They’re plan- 
ning to blow your dinosaur buds, and their 
scaly friends, clear to the moon. Your task 
is to stop the Rockys and prevent the 
dinosaurs’ premature extinction. 

Dino Doors 

In each stage area, you must start at the 
beginning and fight your way to a pair of 
doors at the end. The order in which you 
tackle the areas depends on which door 
you take. Every area is a hop ‘n’ bop 
challenge that requires fast thinking and 
quick reflexes. There’s a final boss battle 
for every stage.

Keys to this City 

DinoCity is a fun little prehistoric romp 
that, in spots, bears more than a passing ’ 
similarity to Mario World. The colorful car- 
toon-style graphics create an ancient, 
humorous atmosphere. Cutesy tunes 
have a nice flair, although they occasion- 
ally sound prehistoric. Challenge-wise, 
the game’s a good go for intermediate 
explorers. However, thematically it seems 
aimed at the younger set. The best part 
of the game is using your highly evolved 
cranium to figure out how to best use 
both your human and reptilian compan- 
ions. Just don’t make your dinos sore.

Big, bold, and ready to shoot 
gelatinous aliens with loads of hot 
lead, the Phalanx spaceship blasts off for battle. In Kemco’s lat- 
est shoot-to-spill SNES cart, a galaxy-devouring interstellar 
bandit erects an unwelcome resi- 
dence on Planet Delia 4. In 
“Operation Climax," your assign- 
ment is to erase the intruder. 



71ie Phalanx -symtof of 
superior fkepo¥i/er. 


Phalanx FkwhUp 

Phalanx dishes out above aver- 
age, shooting action and nice 
graphics to back It up. You, as 
crack pilot Riki Canada, guide the Pha- 
lanx through eight attractive areas of 
side-view, blow-’em-up combat. 

The Phalanx is juiced with a homing beam, an energy com- 
pressor, reflector balls, and a needle laser. You load the guns 
with power capsules, then swap between them at will. You also 
get three types of missiles and special, one-shot-only weapons. 

You skim the wasted skies over Delia, buzz a dark and 
desolate city, infiltrate a hostile starship, and pulverize the final 
bubbly beastie. Bio-organisms, 
melded with machines, swarm to 
strike back against the Phalanx. 

The screamin’ meanies don’t set 
the screen on fire, but they keep 
you busy with round after round 
of bullet showers. You can alter 
the cart’s challenge, but four con- 
tinues are non-negotiable. 

The visual presentation is first- 
class. The multi-layered, side-view 
backgrounds are nicely shaded, and the big bangs look good. 
Unfortunately, massive sprite overloads occasionally hamper the 
pace of the game play. If Phalanx were a chef, it would toss a 
slowdown salad. The music’s a 
mixed bag of hard rock tunes and 
hollow sound effects.

the lines of eager Ameri- 
cans stretched block after 
city block. They were about to embark 
on a journey to “a galaxy far, far away” 
and begin a movie-going tradition that 
would last well into the next decade. 

This year, JVC/LucasArts will bring 
that “Chewy” feeling home in their first 
game for the SNES, Super Star Wars! 
This action/adventure adaptation will fea- 
ture two types of game play: side-view, 
horizontally-scrolling, fighting sequences 
and first-person flying and shooting. 

A Pilot wHh a Purpose 

The game’s story line will match the 
movie’s. Initially, you’ll play Luke as he 
rids the Dune City of those scurvy Womp 
Rats. Then it will be time to shoot Jawas 
while jetting across the sand in your 
Landspeeder. Later, you’li meet up with 
Han Soio and Chewbacca. You'ii then 
be able to play three characters. 

Luke finds C-3PO and R2-D2. R2 
shows Skywalker a distressing message 
from Princess Leia. After consulting with 
Obi-Wan, Luke is off to the scum-ridden 
streets of Mos Eisley to find a ride to 
Alderaan. Eventually, Luke grabs himself 
an X-wing to battle Darth Vader’s nasty 
TIE fighters and destroy the Death Star. 

Anyone who saw the movie definite- 
ly remembers the Cantina scene with all 
the weird space creatures, including the 
all-alien band. In Super Star Wars, Luke 
struts through the Cantina fighting off 
bad guys, as the weird bar patrons at 
their tables in the foreground and the 
background create an amazingly realistic 
3-D point-of-view. 

The Lucas name promises the best in 
sound, and Super Star Wars delivers digi- 
tized sounds, including those of the Light 
Saber. Samples of John Williams’ famous 
movie score will accompany the action. 

Go Get’em Kid! 

No doubt. Star Wars fans everywhere 
eagerly await their chance to take on the 
Empire. May the Force be with us.

(reportedly in January ‘93), 
there’ll be serious partying going down 
amongst gamers and game developers 
alike. One guest sure to be invited will be 
The 7th Guest by Virgin Games. 

This personal computer CD game 
will be among the first games developed 
for the Super NES CD-ROM (See 
GamePro, The Cutting Edge, July ‘92). 
Here’s a look at the PC version. 

» Haunting Ynu Will Go 

The 7th Guest will be an eerie, murder/ 
ghost story, it revolves around Henry 
Stauf, an evil toy maker. When several 
children die from mysterious circum- 
stances after buying his toys, the local 
community suspects unusual goings on. 
The plot thickens when Stauf meets an 
untimely demise. Six guests are then 
anonymously summoned to the late ft)ut 
unlamented) toy maker’s remote, eerily 
vacant, hilltop estate. Who’s the 7th 
Guest? Survive the night and you will see. 

Be prepared for shocking special 
effects that will likely haunt you long after 
you’ve played the game. In the PC ver- 
sion, you can walk around any part of the 
mansion with total freedom. The scenery 
scrolls and rotates as your point-of-view 
changes. The 7th Guest will also use 
complex graphic processing techniques, 
including Rendering and Morphs. Ren- 
dering produces realistic shading effects. 
Morphs produce weird shape-changing 
effects, similar to those you’ve seen in 
the movie Terminator 2 and Michael 
Jackson’s Black or White music video. 

The game will also make extensive 
use of digitized dialogue. For the PC ver- 
sion, eight primary actors and fifteen 
extras wa-e cast to act out the story. 

Ybu’re InvHed 

For now, the Super NES CD-ROM’s as 
ethereal as any spirit in The 7th Guest. 
Exorcise the PC CD version for a vision 
of things to come.

Inspfred by sketdies of Bubsy^s wwM, Sound 
and Music Tedmldan Matt Berardo composes 
theme songs on a Btdand MT-32. 

Once each piece is complete, Berardo 
records the tunes on a keyboard linked to a 
Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) 
device. He then uses Vision, a Macintosh 
program, to edit the notes. Programmers

A nevi/born bobcat’s clawing 
his way through the devel- 
opment labs at Accolade, Inc. 
-Bubsy! In July and August, GamePro 
took you On Location to see Team Bubsy 
bring this feisty feline off paper sketches 
and onto the game screen. This month, lis- 
ten to another chapter in Bubsy’s ongoing 
production saga: Sound. 

Audio’s a key component in making 
the cart a pleasure for the ears as well as 
the eyes. To let there be sound, Senior 
Producer John Skeel and Designer Mike 
Berlyn turn to experienced Music and 
Sound Technician Matt Berardo. Berardo 
crafts the entire sound score for the game, 
including background music and effects. 

Maldn’ Music 

The Bubster’s a cool cat with an attitude, 
so Berardo must mold the music around 
his personality. Skeel and Berlyn envision 
the tunes as “upbeat, with a bluesy-jazzy 
feel.” With this concept in mind, Berardo 
composes the themes on a Roland MT-32 
Synthesizer. 


convert the digital score into Super NES 
code. Unlike most game consoles, the 
Super Nintendo’s custom chip can process 
sampled sounds to produce a realistic, 
high-quality effect. 


In dte carnival ctepter, the Sdngbean Strong- 
man’s pea pod kids kick bade dieir heels and 
move to the music. 

The results are impressive. Bubsy’s 
theme song is as sly as our hip hero, and 
each of the five world themes preserves 
that blues swing. The music even changes 
pitch and intensity to reflect game play 
excitement, speed, and danger. If Bubsy’s 
trapped in a cave filling with water, the 
song reaches a crescendo to complement 
an imminent cat-skinmng. 


BUBSY 

h BOBCAT IN THE MAKING 

PARTS 


by a boulder, or takes off in “extended 
flight” mode, what makes the sound effect? 

Berardo pulls out his trusty sound 
library, called Sound Ideas. Used in hlgh- 
budget cartoons, movies, and even video 
games, it’s a vast collection of CDs filled 
with thousands of sampled sounds - 
everything from the classic fog horn to a 
chainsaw whirring to a nose blowing. He 
chooses effects and prepares them for the 
Super NES program. 

Speak, Bubsy, Speak 

Without a voice of his own, Bubsy's a cute 
but mute cat. This bobcat has something 
to say when he meets a horrendous 
demise or sends a nasty, yarn-swiping 
Wooly packing. Accolade is auditioning 
comedians and other voice talents to play 
the part. The one-liners will be sampled 
and interspersed throughout the game. 

Now Hear nis 

Bubsy’s sounding off for now, but we’ve 
looked and listened to the cart’s graphic 
and sound development. Assembling the 
pieces to this cartridge puzzle is next on 
Accolade’s assignment list, so hang loose 
‘til next month. 


When Bubsy’s on the brink of disaster, 
you hear ft as ymt see It 


Sounds Good 

Bubsy scats through what the 
Accoladians term a “playable / 
cartoon,” which IS designed to u 
be fast, frantic, and full of sur- 
piises. When Bubsy shatters into 
a thousand pieces, gets bonked on his head

' who call themselves 
“FO.W.L,” have slashed a valuable paint- 
ing and hidden the pieces all over the

Criminals of a Feather 

This Turtx)Grafx-16 duck hunt takes 
Darkwing through five short, vertically- 
and horizontally-scrolling missions. The 
task at ‘Swing” is to gather up the pieces 
of the painting and give the leading 
members of FO.W.L. (Steel Beak, Moliar- 
ty, Tuskemini, Megavolt, and Ratcatcher) 
and their cohorts a good thra^ing. Con- 
quer one of the FO.W.L. fowlies and DD 
enters a puzzle sequence. Once inside 
the puzzle, he tries to fit the newfound 
pieces together by sliding them arourd 
inside a frame.

The obstacle courses in each Mis- 
sion, which DD must go up, over, and 
through, are likely to bust your brain cells. 
There's a sizeable number of floating 
platforms and feattier-raising jumps, from 
one tiny ledge to another. These require 
very meticulous timing. Slip up a wee bit 
and Dariwing eats dirt.

Lords of the Rising Sun for the Tur- 
boGrafx CD-ROM is an intriguing strate- 
gy/warfare game with thumb-burning, 
do-or-die arcade action. However, this 
well-done conversion from a popular PC 
game features a massive environment 
that takes epic time to conquer. 



The Mfnamotos are out for revenge! 


Here Comes Ihe Rising Sun 

The bulk of the game play in this com- 
plex military strategy game takes place 
on a map of Twelfth Century Japan. You 
can play as either Minamoto brother or 
the head of the Kiyomoris. Either way, 
you plan attacks and political takeovers 
on a major scale. You send your armies 
to various Castles, Monasteries, Cities, 
and Ports. Move several armies simulta- 



Feudal Japan: a slow place to visit 



neously or combine them into one. But 
don’t dawdle, because your enemies are 
on the move, too! 

Winning clashes between armies is 
the key to victory. The battles take place 
in 3/4 side-view action. 

Consisting of two archer units, five 
foot soldier units, and a general, you 
select action for each individual unit, such 
as Forward, Retreat, or Spray Arrows. 


Then you set the battle into motion. Stop 
anytime to issue new orders. 



PROW: Victoty Is no mystery: inferior 
forces never superior forces. 


PR07V: To replenish your army, you must 
Enter your CasOe. 

If you like to fight dirty, you can send 
out Ninja assassins to off your enemies. 
However, should your Ninjas fail, the 
game forces you to commit seppuku-kill 
yourself in the traditional Japanese man- 
ner. Death is a downer, but you also lose 
your saved game! 


The varietal arcade sequences are 
tightly woven into the framework of the 
game. They feature great action and

Lords Have Mercy! 

Lords rises and sets. The graphics, partic- 
ularly the story stills and the arcade 
sequence screens, are good. The excel- 
lent sound features catchy Japanese-style 
rock and the digitized voices of real actors. 

The time consuming controls and 
interface for the map screen might make 
Lords a pain for you. Armies travel very 
slowly, and the information window slows 
them down even more. Its constant 
updates on the movements of every army 
in the game make your already pokey 
moving armies halt temporarily.

Revenge is Sweet 

Despite the sometimes clunky strategy

studying history or learning another lan- 
guage (such as Japanese), this game takes 
time, but the rewards ate worth the effort. If 
you've got patience and a yen for epic 
strategy. Lords of the Rising Sun shines.

I TURBOGHiFX-CB 
PREVIEW 



By Toxic Tommy 

In the LandofKrellion, 
springs bring forth dreams. 
Gentle rivers feed life into the 
land. The Wood Elves sing beautiful 
songs. Humans celebrate the Age of 
Light. It sounds like this place is in seri- 
ous need of some excitement, and that’s 
just what Turbo Technologies has in 
mind! ShapeShifter is a TurboDuo Super- 
CD-in-waiting, which features the top - 
notch programming work of ICOM 
Simulations (“Sherlock Holmes Consult- 
ing Detective”). 


Anybody Got a Light? 

Krellion’s Age of Light is about to be put 
out by three evil brothers called the Dark 
Ones. Their monster army Is sweeping 
across the land, sliming and chomping 
everything and everyone in its path. 

You will guide the hero, Lykos, 
through a side-view, multi-scrolling, hack 
‘n’ slash marathon. Lykos is blonde, 
buffed, and bad, but he isn’t your typical 
kick-and-stlck glamor boy hero. He can 
acquire the power to change into four 
magical creatures: the Black Panther, the 
Psionic Shark, the Rock Troll, and the 
Gold Dragon. 

Like many epic fantasy quests, you’ll 
explore mystic places above and below 
the ground. However, the game isn’t 
organized into levels, so you’ll be able to 
travel back and forth over the vast 
expanses of Krellion. Be prepared to 
encounter fantastic races! 

The SuperCD will strut its stuff with 
sparkling graphics and great sounds. 

TTie graphics harken back to Legendary 
Axe, but they’re much more colorful and 
detailed. Digitized voices enable the 
denizens of Krellion to truly project their 
own personalities. 


Getting into ShapeShifter 

This CD looks like an action/adventure 
game that every hard-core video adven- 
turer will want to play. ShapeShifter could 
be the shape of things to come.

flew straight into the Game Gear, by-

this awesome shooter is about to make a 
return flight to the 1 6-bit system. The

but came back with outrageous scaling, 
rotation, color, and sound. The prelimi- 
nary versions of this 8-meg cart look like 
G-LOC MegaDrive will push the MD 
graphics capability to its limit. 

You fly against the land, sea, and air 
forces of an evil army, and that’s about all 
you need to know. The behind-the-jet 
view of the combat looks crystal clear- 
the better to see the enemy hardware 
that comes hurtling at you from all direc- 
tions! The terrain looks sharp, if familiar.

The controls are precise and tight. 
You have ready access to a formidable 
array of missiles and guns. You can pull 
heavy-duty moves, such as afterburner 
loops. But watch out, G-LOC in jet pilot’s 
lingo translates to Toss of Conscious- 
ness Due to Gravity!” 

G-LOC for the MegaDrive is due to

Behind the Boss’ Batik 

As in the first two Bonk games, the ene- 
mies and the bosses are pretty comical 
and cartoony. Yet, they’re ominous 








enough to be challenging. Sometimes 
you’ll think you’ve beat a boss, but it 
splits into two times the headache. Gath- 
ering power-ups gives you a hilarious 
arsenal of weapons, including chattering 
metal jaws and a neat-o ray gun. 

As far as evolution goes, it looks like 
Bonk is on an acc^erated schedule. He’s 
made the leap from Stone Age to Space 
Age. Who knows what lies ahead?

A land free from strife 
awaits you overseas. No, 
this isn’t a commercial from 
the Japanese Board of Tourism. It’s a 
look at Neutopia II - a solid, Zelda-esque 
RPGforthe RC. Engine. 

The harmonious land of Neutopia 
has been overrun with evil monsters of all 
shapes and sizes. You play the heroic 
son of Jazeta, a character from Neutopia 
I. Your quest is threefold. You must fight 
the monsters, rescue your father from a 
l^yrinth, and save the Neutopians who 
have fled underground. Eventually, you 
will come face-to-face with Dirth, the 
Emperor of Darkness. 



Tht$ Snake’s ta$e fs short* 



Yo*r hero can even sword ItgM underwater! 



The game play is pretty RPG basic. 
You can maneuver your little hero around 
the land. Along with a map, a menu dis- 
plays a list of items to choose from. You 
gotta take clues from the Neutopians, 
and follow their instructions as best you 
can. To get really valuable clues, you 
must search out hidden passageways. 
Naturally, killing bad guys reveals 
weapons and healing potions.

The Neutopian worlds are vast and 
diverse. You swim through underwater 
lands, skate across ice-cold frozen fields, 
creep through underground labyrinths, 
and hike in dense green forests. Neu- 
topia is no utopia, but it’s fun.

As good as Sega’s 
^ MegaDrive carts can be, 
the special features offered 
in the Mega CD can really put some fire 
into a game. Some of the CDs’ original 
offerings were old Japanese PC titles, 
but the latest crop are a cut above. 
Here’s a peek at some great games cur- 
rently available, or soon to be released in 
Japan, that may show up over here. 



Mega CDs on the Move 

Wonder Dog is a howling CD by JVC. JVC 
is currently walking the Dog with its pricey 
Wondermega system in Japan (see 
GamePro, “Putting the Spin on CD-ROM 
Systems," July ‘92). As the name sug- 
gests, you play a feisty little hound with an 
attitude. You stomp and romp through a 
cartoony land of crazy creatures. 



Afterburner ill. 


Taking off next is Afterburner III by 
CRI. CRI usually converts Sega arcade 
games to other video game systems and 
PC formats. Now Sega’s allowed them to 
produce an original flight sim/shooter 
based on the Afterburner series. 


GAMEPR8 • IsplemllBP 1992

Wolf Team/Telenet is updating a lit- 
tle-seen, 1986, Data East laserdisc 
arcade game called Thunder Storm 
{Cobra Command In U.S. arcades) for 
the Mega CD. Your task is to destroy an 
invading enemy’s base with your Huey 
Cobra attack chopper. U.S. coin-oppers 
will remember Cobra Command’s radical 
animation and music. They’re back, but 
with better game play and 25 minutes of 
spectacular ^imated video footage. 



Game Arts, which created the PC 
classic Thexder, is converting Sierra/ 
Dynamix’s futuristic Rise of the Dragon. 


The plot mirrors Blade Runner’s, but with 
drug dealers Instead of Androids as the 
bad guys. Game Arts also has Lunar - 
The Silver Star on the rise. This is a mas- 
sive Phantasy Star-style RPG. 

Compile has created a sequel, of 
sorts, to ttie great MegaDrive (and Gene- 
sis) shooter, MUSHA Aleste. It’s called 
Nobunaga and the Ninja Force Aleste. it’s 
a long title, but the game’s hot! Your land's 
been invaded (again). You must take to 
the skies in a variety of cybernetic suits to 
defend it. The graphics are awesome! 



Sega’s own entry in the CD sweeps 
is Dark Wizard, a complex RPG. In much 
the usual style, you command a party of 
valiant adventurers. The massive envi- 
ronment, scoping soundtrack, and slick 
interface make Wizard a must see! It’s 
voluminous volumes of Japanese text 
are being translated for the U.S. release 
even as you read this. 

MegaDrive Carts 
Lookii^ Smart 

The old silicon medium hasn’t been get- 
ting much press lately in lieu of the glitzy 
CD news. But no matter how cool CD is, 
most of us play carts. Here are some hot 
MegaDrive games. 

Technosoft will push the MegaDrive 
to its limits with Thunder Force IV. This 
beautiful, 8-meg blast-a-thon will give 
you chills and thrills like all the TF’s 
before it. You’ll fly and fight far out hard- 



f^xen 357. 


ware through swirling sandstorms, past 
majestic glaciers, and in-between jagged 
mountain peaks. Technosoft went all out 
on this one. 

Koei keeps the complex RPGs com- 
ing! Gemfire, Uncharted Waters, and 
Romance of the Three Kingdoms II are 
almost in MegaDrive format. Gemfire is a 
hybrid of f^tasy role-playing and military 
strategy. Uncharted Waters simulates his- 
torical, colonial exploration around the 
globe. Romance makes you use diploma- 
cy, war, and sound economic manage- 
ment to reunite Second Century China. 

Keep chasing after Chase H.Q. Taito 
has Chase H.Q. II for the MegaDrive. 

Like the other adrenalin-pumping ver- 
sions, you’ll drive your Porsche police 
car way past the speed limit on a chase 
to catch the bad guys. You ram ‘em, 
shoot ‘em, and arrest ‘em. 

Cars pack the roads in Japan. 
Maybe that’s why Super Monaco GP II 
an awesome sequel to the 1 990 classic, 
is knocking gama^ out over there, This 
time, it’s a full 8-megs with ail new digi- 
tized backgrounds, enhanced engine 
and transmission options, and six bat- 
tery-save positions. The road-racing is 
spectacul^l 

Sega’s making waves across the 
waters. But don’t worry, PC. Engine and 
Super Famicom fans, there’ll be some- 
thing in Overseas ProSpects for you next 
month.

Gold Medal or not, was there ever 
any doubt about which Olympic 
team fielded the best players in 
the world? Anyone who said 
“Yes” can go get fitted for a pair 
of soccer shoes right now! 

International Style 

Team USA Basketball by Elec- 
tronic Arts is a top-notch, limited 
edition sports cart that recreates the 
basketball thrills of the ‘92 Sum- 
mer Olympic Games. This fabu- 
lous simulation uses the same 
basketball engine as EA's excellent 
Bulls vs. Lakers (see GamePro, 

The Sports Pages, August ‘92). 



The Dream Team! 

Naturally, the game features 
the likenesses and playing abili- 
ties (based on the NBA's '91 
stats) of the players on the US 
Olympic b-ball team. The outra- 
geous lineup deserves mention: 
Sir Charles Barkley. Larry Bird, 
Clyde Diexler, Patrick Ewing, 
Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, 
Christian Laettner (the college 
guy), Karl Malone, Chris Mullins, 
Scottie Pippen, David Robinson, 
and John Stockton. Each player 
even has his own signature dunk! 


You can choose Exhibition or 
Tournament modes. Two players 
can opt for Versus mode or team 
up in the totally fun Co-op mode. 


Friendship First, 
Competition Second 

In the spirit of international 
friendship, before each game the 
cart displays a nicely detailed 
geography lesson on each com- 
peting country, and the country's 
anthem plays in the background. 



This game has international flavor. 



World Class Hoops 
Your formidable (yes, formida- 
ble!) competition is 12 teams, plus 
Yugoslavia (which at one time 
was headed to the Olympics). The 
12 Olympians are Angola, Aus- 
tralia, Canada, China, the Com- 
monwealth of Independent States 
(formerly the U.S.S.R.), Croatia, 
France, Italy, Lithuania, the 
Netherlands, Slovenia, and Spain. 
Unlike their real-lil

GAMEPRO • 



these international teams are no 
pushovers. You’ll quickly discov- 
er that when the Angolan squad 
kicks your butt a few times. 

These computer players can 
flat-out hoop! They play extremely 
tough D, and they scramble for the 
rebounds. It’s nearly impossible to 
beat them one-on-one or pick them 
with a screen. Fast breaks are 


nonexistent. Most of your offense 
consists of jump shots. 



PROTIP: Take every open 
jumper. You’re more likely to 
score when you're open than when 
someone's in your face. 

PROTIP: Look for height mis- 
matches, especially at center. Try 
to toss the ball down low to your 
big man. 

The Controls are generally 
right on. You can pump, fake, 
drive, and occasionally slam ajam 
over your opponents. On D, a sin- 
gle button press enables you to 
instantly switch defenders. How- 
ever, game play gets sticky at 
times. Sometimes it’s tough to

pick the player you’re controlling 
out of the crowd, and positioning 
yourself for rebounds is a mystery. 
PROTIP: Bombing away from a 
I'hrcc-point Land can quicki} build 
up a lead, but don't try to do that 
for an entire game. Get Bird. 
Mullins, and Drexler into the game. 

Medal-Winning Sights 
and Sounds 

The graphics deserve a Silver 
Medal. On the court, the players 
are recognizable images of their 
real selves. The cool instant 
replay feature enables you to 
reverse a play frame by frame. 

The country info screens feature 
great picture postcard stills. 

The sounds are Gold Medal 
caliber. The music’s Impressive, 
and the effects kick. 

No Contest! 

For diehard Genesis hoopsters. 
Team USA Basketball is a no- 
brainer. After all, if the All-ET 
team landed here in flying 
saucers, who would you pick to 
play them? Right. Carts are limit- 
ed, so get ‘em while they’re hot.

By Weekend Warrior 

At long last there’s a tennis game 
for the Genesis! The good folks at 
Renovation haven’t produced just 
any ol’ tennis game either. Jen- 
nifer Capriati Tennis is a well- 
rounded. feature-laden, 
challenging cart, which ought to 
satisfy players of all rankings. 

Play Your Game 

Jennifer Capriati Tennis offers an 
abundance of options and features. 
Choose from 12 ranked men and 
women players, each with individ- 
ual strengths, weaknesses, and 
playing styles. Jennifer’s the num- 
ber one seed, and she's the only 
real pro in the cart. You can also 
create up to four men and four 
women with your own specifi- 
cations. Choose your players’ 
name, race, clothing color, and 
stroke style. Moreover, you can 
make them right- or left- handed, 
and balance their power between 
speed, stroke, and net play. 



PROTIP: For the most responsive 
customised player, select attributes 
that reflect your own style of play. 
PROTIP: Double-handed strokes 
ha\ e a limited sh<K>ting area, hut 
they're faster than single-handed 
strokes. 

PROTIP: Don’t neglect the Net 
Play category. It’s crucial for 
champions! 

Jennifer lets you piay tennis 
any way you like it. Single play- 
ers can challenge the computer, 
team up with the computer in 


doubles, or watch a computer vs. 
computer matchup between your 
selected players. Two players can 
challenge each other, team up for 
doubles against the computer, 
team up with a computer partner 
in doubles, or watch a totally 
computerized doubles match. 
PROTIP: Computer doubles part- 
ners play according to their scout- 
ing reports, so prepare to cover for 
their weaknesses. 

Volley for Serve 

Play either an Exhibition game 
against the opponent of your 
choice or enter the Circuits Mode 
for the world championship. Cir- 
cuit pits your player in a singles 


tournament against all other 
ranked players on your choice of 
Lawn, Hard, or Clay surfaces. 
You must win four tournaments - 
the Sydney, Paris, Rorida, and 
London Opens. A password fea- 
ture enables you to continue 
ongoing tournaments. 



PROTIP: Start on Hard Courts. 
The ball bounces higher and 
doesn't affect bail speed. 


Jennifer Capriati Tennis 
offers an invaluable Training 
mode, in which tireless instructors 
practice a variety of shots with 
you until you get them right Cus- 
tomize your training by dictating 
which direction you want the ball 
hit the type of stroke used, your 
instractor’s position, and the prac- 
tice surface. 

Practice diligently, because 
the computer is extremely tough. 
Even the lowest ranked players hit 
powerful baseline shots, are ter- 
rors at the net, and rally forever! 



PROTIP: Start off by playing the 
#1 ranked man against the #12 


ranked woman. Don't worry, she'll 
probably still beat you! 

PROTIP: Track a bail by playing 
the position of its shadow instead of 
the ball iLself. 

Game, Set, and Match! 
Jennifer Capriati is an exceUent 
tennis game for any system. The 
graphics are bright and clear, 
especially the animation of the 
players and the tennis ball. The 
controls are easy to learn, and the 
on-screen action is extremely 
responsive, Digitized sound 
effects, including score announc- 
ing, add a nice touch of realism. 
Two-player game play is a lot of 
fun, and one-player games are 
mucho tough. Jennifer Capriati 
Tennis serves up aces!

Amazing Tennis: 
A Racquet with 
a Sweet Spot 


David Crane's 
Dmazini 
Tennis 

By Bubonic the Blowfrog 

With features like incredible 
graphics and true-to-life sound, 
you’d expect David Crane’s 
Amazing Tennis by Absolute to 
blow other tennis games off the 
court. Unfortunately, however, 
once you get past the amazing 
light and sound show. Amazing 
Tennis is amazingly shallow. 

Love at First Sight 


hard topspin, a lob, or a dropshot 
With the joypad, you can also con- 
trol the direction you hit the ball. 

Break Point 

With all of this detail, it’s hard to 
imagine that Amazing Tennis is 
anything but amazing. Unfortunate- 
ly, the game skimps on game play. 

After playing your first game 
on the near court, it seems as 
though you’ve netted a winning 
cart However, once you change 
ends and play on the far end of the 
court, it’s nearly impossible to 
judge the distance from your play 


m 


Amazing Tennis has impressive 
features. The graphics are fantastic. 
It uses a unique playing perspec- 
tive, showing all game play from 
behind and slightly above one play- 
er. The character sprites are larger 
and more detailed than you’d 
expect from a sports cart. From the 
near court, you actually leave the 
ground on powerful serves. When 
you hit the ball crosscourt, your 
foot drags for balance. 

The sound capabilities are 
outstanding. Digital samplings of 
an umpire’s voice sound off real- 
istically after every point. If you 
whack the ball hard enough, 
you’ll hear it hit the chain link 
fence. If you hit your opponent 
squarely, he’ll let out an “umph!” 

Some of the game play is 
great. You can choose between four 
different strokes: a soft slice, a 


PROTIP: Rush the net and volley 
the ball. The risk is almost always 
rewarded with a point in your favor. 


Image Is Everything 
This cart is worth checking out for 
its graphics and sound capabilities 
alone, but don’t expect to be 
intrigued with its playability. This 
game makes tennis an amazing 
challenge. 


PROTIP: For a Killer Serve, press 
B and tap the directional pad in the 
direction diagonally opposite to the 
side you are serving into. 

er to the ball. In some tennis 
games, you can judge the height of 
the ball by the size of its shadow. 

In Amazing Tennis, the net 
obstructs the view of the far court, 
making it difficult to judge the ball. 

When you run your charac- 
ter to make a saving shot, you 
inevitably hit the ball off the court 
because your joypad is pointed in 
that direction. Timing your serves 
drives you crazy. You’ll need 
plenty of practice.

By Speedy Buns 

At long last, portable firll-color, 
sweat-free, tennis action was built 
for the Game Gear! That’s right, 
now you can join the tour as a pro 
for on-court action that fits in your 
pocket. 

What a Racket 
Wimbledon Tennis has all of the 
options you’d expect and more. 
You get singles or doubles for 
one or two players, a Pro Tour, 
the ability to build your own play- 
er, 16 computer players, and sev- 
eral court surfaces. Of course, you 
also get a complete repertoire of 
standard tennis shots and you can 
hit the ball with topspin or slice. 
Overall, the controls are easy to 
master. Although, it’s a little 
difficult to guide shots down the 
line and crosscourt. 

Before you serve it up, you 
select between Free Match Mode 
and the Tour Mode. Free Match 
enables you to go head-to-head 
against the computer in singles or 
doubles. You play as one of 16 
players, each with different combi- 
nations of Speed, Power, and Skill. 



PROTIP; Until you get into the 
swing of things, choose a good all- 
around player (Haaser or Hines) 
and play against one of the weaker 
guys (Cortez or Silva). 

The Pro Tour 

Once you’ve honed your skills and 
you’re a total hotshot, head for the 
four tourney Tour (America, Aus- 
tralia, France, and Wimbledon). In 
each tournament, you battle eight 




i’R< iiil': Strategies that work in 
real tennis work here. For example, 
if your opponent comes to the net, 
pass him cleanly down the alley or 
go for a sharp crosscourt shot. 



PROTIP: A good net game is 
essential. Charge the net and the 
odds are high that you'll be able to 
pass your opponent or smash it 
down their throat! 

opponents for the championship. 
You begin the tour with 15 points to 
allocate between Speed, Power, and 


Skill. Win and you’ll earn extra 
points. Even if you get eliminated in 
the first round, you move on to the 
next tournament - just like the pros. 
A password save enables you to 
continue your championship quest. 
PROTIP: Remember that the 
other pros also improve through 
tournament play. If you keep los- 
ing. it's better to begin the Tour 
again. If not, they whomp the heck 
out of you in the first round at 
Wimbledon! 



PROTIP: Practice with the differ- 
ent players by plugging your pass- 
word for the Tour Mode into the 
Free Match Mode. 

PROTIP: Just as in real tennis, 
you’re gonna get nailed if you stand 
in ‘*no man’s land" (the area 
between the backcourt line and the 


service line). The ball tends to land 
behind you or too far in front of you. 

Of course, the best on-court 
action’s Gear-to-Gear. You Link 
with another player for head-to- 
head singles or doubles matches, 
or team up for doubles against the 
CPU. Don’t forget, you need two 
of everything (Game Gears, Gear- 
to-Gear cables, and Wimbledon 
Tennis cartridges). 

Tennis Anyone? 

Crisp, full-color graphics and 
snappy game play make this 
pocket-size tennis game a pro. 
Head-to-head games are the most 
fun, but the Tour Mode has 
enough features to keep netters of 
all abilities chasing the champi- 
onship. Tennis everyone!

still a smash. King of the Monsters 2 is a 
colossal cart that will keep Neo-Geo

Joe Tiger, Rayar Dragoon, and Ryu Eagle, 
three top-ranking world warriors, band 
together to form the Spider-stopping 
crew known only as Ninja Commando. 


S . 


Together they stand. 

Time to Fi^ 

Spider kicks off his conquering crusade at 
the Mars Corporation, a heavily-fortified 
bunker that houses the time machine in 
question. Reaching the machine’s no 
problem. Once there, however. Spider 
twists a few time circuits and sends our 
heroic ninjas back to the past. Now the 
Commando must untangle Spider’s web 
of death and destruction, pronto! 

One or two players fight across 
seven stages of top-view, shoot-em-up 
action that reminds you of Ikari Warriors 
souped up with Neo-Geo action and 


looks. The game sounds great, and you’ll 
dig the weird, digitized voices. 

Motrin’ and Slakin’ 

The trio’s basic weaponry consists of 
projectile firearms, a magic spell, and a 
backflip. They also bust some complex 
joystick moves that you’ll recognize from 
carts like Street Fighter II and Fatal Fury. 
Each combatant has an energy “charge” 
attack and a move that mimics the fireball 
motion from SF II. However, you also get 
some all-new, ultra-complex maneuvers, 
which require up to six directional press- 
es! Commando’s control is smooth, but it 
t^es practice to nail it down. 


Joe’s body charges with energy. Then 
press Dom, Down-Bi0it, Right, Up, and A 
to unl^sh his Tornado Attack and Thunder 
Trick simultaneous! 

PROTIP: To use Rayar tkagooa's Rame 
burst, press Up, Up-Night, Right, and A. 
This is not in the manual! 


You’ll need all the help you can get 
to down Spider’s agents. The enemy 
fighters are relentless and the bosses fill 
the screen. Depending on the historical 
era, they light up the skies with every- 
thing from explosives to spears to samu- 
rai blades. 

No Quarter 

Ninja Commando’s action is fast and 
furious, and doesn’t let up for an instant. 
However, with three continues and the 
Memory Card feature, skilled players will 
whip to the end in an afternoon, even on 
the hardest setting. Mid-level ninjas 
should find it most satisfying. 

Overall, Ninja Commando is an 
excellent two-player cart. It doesn’t carve 
up any new territory, but it does a superb 
job of filling the void for a top-view, fun- 
and-gun game in the Neo-Geo library. It 
shoots, and it scores!

The Gang’s all here! 


By H. Somniac 

NES players have already 
tasted Star Wars, a yummy 
outer space treat. Now all the 
same ingredients have been packed into 
the Game Boy! Just like the movie, this 
game is a video delicacy! 

A’ la Game Boy 

Like the NES game. Star Wars by Capcom 
sticks to the familiar movie story line. You 
even get a palatable rendition of the Star 
Wars theme. 

The Game Boy cart features a deli- 
cious spread of various gaming styles that 
are served up in one, tasty adventure. You 
get overhead-view flying, side-view fighting 
action, and first-person-perspective flying. 
Smooth, responsive controls make you feel 
like you’re using the Force to guide your 
game play! 

Moreover, a Character Select feature 
adds RPG flavor to the game. Call upon 
C-3PO, R2-D2, or Obi-Wan for valuable 
advice. Use the skills of Luke, Princess 
Leia, or Han. Each character is suited for 
specific situations. 


A Jedi Smorgasbord! 

You begin the game with a multi-scrolling, 
overhead view of Luke's Landspeeder criss- 
crossing the vast Tatooine desert. Your shop- 
ping list is lengthy as you search for R2-D2, 
Obi-Wan Kenobi. Han Solo. Luke’s Ught 
Saber. Shields for the Millenium Falcon, and 
power-ups, To find them, you enter caves, 
the Jawa Sandcrawler. and Mos Eisley 
Spaceport, where the game converts into a 
side-scrolling adventure.

Successfully run the asteroid field

^borho^ human arachnid 
swings into his second adventure for the 
Game Boy! Seven action-packed levels 
of goons, traps, and super villains await 
you in Spider-Man 2 by UN. 

A Webof Deceit 

An astonished Peter Parker (a.k.a. Spider- 
Man) reads the morning paper and finds 
that Spider-Man has been accused of 
stealing millions of dollars! Sensing 
frame-up by one of his arch ene- 
mies, Spider-Man must seek out 
the true villain, clear his name, and 
avoid the New York police. As 
Spidey, you swing high and low 
throughout the city on your search 
for clues to the re^ culprit. Watch 
out! Some of Spider-Man’s most 
dangerous foes, such as the Hob- 
goblin, the Uzard, Carnage, and 
Graviton, are w^ing for you! 

Spidey’s Moves 

Spider-Man 2 is fiendish fun that will 
have you crawling up the walls in no 
time. Run, jump, crawl, and swing 
through each level in search of par- 
ticular items. In addition to the super 
villains, there are traps and obstacles 
everywhere. Since you start out with only 
three lives and there are no continues, 
only the best Webslingers will conquw 
this game. 

In order to advance to the next level, 
you must successfully perform specific 
tasks. To enter locked buildings that con- 
tain important goodies, find items like 
crowbars, keys, door combinations, and 
entry cards. To defeat certain super vil- 
lains, find other items, such as Goblin 
Sled Fuel. To keep Spidey going, search 
out the invaluable bonus items like extra 
life units, energy, and Web Fluid. 

PR0T1P: There’s no time llnut, so locate 
every item on a level. If you die, finding 
them next time armind is a teieeze.

Tom & Jeny by Hi Tech Expressions 


By JJie Unknown Gmer 


Byrndromeda 


Jeny’s twisting his taii because his 
cousin Tuffy went out for a walk and 
never came back. His feline nemesis, Tom, 
wouid iike nothing better than mouse au gratin for iunch. Jerry’s gotta 
track down Tuffy before Tom turns hi m into a TV dinner. 

CatandMouse 

in this alternating two-player 
Game Boy cart, Jerry chases after 
Tuffy through 10 levels of vertical- 
ly- and horizont^ly-scrolling, side- 
view adventure. You’re gonna 
need man-size patience to com- 
plete this mouse-size cart! 


PftOnP:Tom^ not nearly as 
loughlooiitwttashewasin 
Ote NES version. Just memortzelj 
where he^ hiding and whack \ 
/Htn wHA a Anv martifes. 


Each level features a series of obsta- 
cles, both man-made and natural. For 
example, Jerry’s got to dodge flipping 
manhoie covers, and mouse- eating 
plants! Of course, he's also got to watch out for Tom. This fiendish 
feline hangs out in Trash Cans and other receptacles. 

The toughest part of this cat and mouse chase, though, isn’t the 
creatures that are after Jerry, but the precise hopping and dodging 
required to avoid the dangerous hazards that iie in his path. Our little 
rodent starts with a big smiie on his 
face. However, once he’s caught his 
tail in a trap or he lands on a few 
spikes, he sterte to look pretty grim. 

Jerry’s gonna need to stop and 
chow down to keep up his sfrength. 
Grab Cheese and Sodas to earn him 
a 1 -up. Other bonus items inciude 
Marbies to wing at Tom and more.

have gone before. 




Jeny^ a pretty moiBeiaMar^guyf 

Jerry’s got five lives per game, three continues, and three passwords 
(one after every three ieveis). 

Eeekf a Mouse! 

Great graphics and cute cartoony 
tunes cannot hide the fact that Tom 
and Jerry is a game for someone 
who is as patient as...well, as a cat 
waiting to catch a mouse. Fans of 
the NES cart piease note: Although 
the Game Boy premise is similar, the 
game is very different. If you like to 
fight your way through a game, this 
one’s either gonna drive you crazy or 
make you take a quick cat nap! Either 
way, it’s gonna take you more than nine 
lives to end this chase. 






Recyciing’s cool, and T.HQ’s 
latest forthe Game Boy, Swamp 
Thing, makes it fun, too! Our soggy 
hero’s made it to the comics, T.V., the movies, and now, of 
course, video games. In this 
adventure. Swamp Thing’s look- 
ing good with crisp verticaliy- 
and horizontaliy-scroliing graph- 
ics. Unfortunately, the planet’s 
not looking good. Your mission: 
help Swamp Thing clean up the 
planet and stop Dr. Arcane and 
his evii Un-Men from permanently 
polluting the Earth. 

Garbage Time! 

Swamp Thing’s first lob is to clear three areas (the Desert, the 
Arctic, and the Forest) of nasty Un-Men and battle ttie boss Un- 
Man at the end of the level. 

When Swamp TTiing defeate 
each boss, he earns a special 
Bio-Restorative potion ^at gives 
him a new ability. It takes three 
special abilities to defeat Dr. 
Arcane in the final battle.

the game. Decent graphics (Swamp

and average challenge make 
Swamp Thing one product you'll 
want to use over and over again.

ByN.Somniac 

Everyone’s favorite web- 
slinging superhero makes it 
“big” on the small Game Gear 
screen! In a summer dominated by the 
“bat,” bugging around as Spider-Man 
might be a welcome change of pace. 



ILuvNY! 


YikesI As if New York City doesn’t 
already have enough problems, the King- 
pin of Crime has preempted the airwaves 
to warn the citizenry about a hidden 
nuclear bomb set to detonate in 24 
hours! What heinous villain could be 
responsible for such a dastardly deed? 
Doctcr Octopus? Electro? Venom? 
Would you believe your friendly neigh- 
borhood Spider-Man?!? Sure, Spidey’s 
been framed, but it’s up to ol’ Webhead 
to find and disarm the bomb before the 
Big Apple ends up in orbit! 



That sure ain't Geraldo! 


This game is extremely faithful to its 
comic book origins, especially regarding 
Spidey’s moves and grooves. In addition 
to running, jumping, punching, and kick- 
ing, Spider-Man is able to climb walls, 
shoot webbing, and swing across the 
screen from web to web. The graphics 
are well rendered, bright, and colorful. 
Howevw, the characters move a bit stiffly 
with limited animation. The music and 
sound effects are standard Game Gear 
fare. You can turn them off.

Eight increasingly difficult levels await 
you in this single-player, third-person

perspective, multi-scrolling game. Spidey 
must swing from the city’s warehouse 
district to the sewers and into Central 
Park to find the five keys needed to dis- 
arm the bomb. On each level you must 
defeat every henchman and overcome 
every obstacle before you fight one of 
Spider-Man’s arch enemies, including 
Doctor Octopus, the Lizard, Electro, the 
Sandman, the Hobgoblin, and Venom! 
Wipe-out the super villain, and you get 
a key. Neutralize the bomb, and you’ll 
face the Kingpin in a final showdown! 

You begin each level with a timer j 
that indicates how long till ground J 
zero, and your set amount of energy J 
units and web fluid. Revitalize your j 
energy by returning to Peter Parker’s m 
(a.k.a. Spider-Man) apartment. Doing I 
so, however, will drastically drain the I 
timer and restart you at the begin- I 
ning of the level. You can buy more V

PROTIP: You get 24 shots per levd. So, ftv

A sticky Situaiion! 

Spider-Man looks like the 8-bit Sega 
Master System game released last year 
(see GamePro, Aug. ‘91), but it’s much 
more challenging. The graphics are iden- 
tical, but the Game Gear version lacks 
power-ups, bonus items, and continues. 
Fortunately, difficulty options range from 
Easy to Difficult to Nightmare. 

Spider-Man’s strong point is 
definitely its challenge. If you’re bent on 
finishing this cart, you’re guaranteed your 
money’s worth! Hey, who said being a 
superhero was easy?!

By Gideon 

1 Because the Lynx’s 
^ superb graphics and scal- 
’ ing capabilities have already 
distinguished themselves in flight games 
(Blue Ughtning and Warbirds), expecta- 
tions \were high when Atari announced 
that Steel Talons, the arcade megabit, 
was about to fly onto the Lynx. Good 
news! All expectations were not only 
met, but surpassed! Both an excellent 
flight simulator and a top gun arcade 
shooter, this cart is hot! 


A Whirtybird of Prey 

Steel Talons displays a great-looking, 
third-peison, behind-the-helicopter per- 
spective and polygon-filled graphics that 
are similar to its arcade predecessor’s. 
Naturally, the arcade machine’s complex 
foot, joystick, and handle controls have 
been nicely streamlined for the Lynx. At 
your fingertips are the controls for speed 
and altitude, plus an impressive arsenal 
of machine guns, auto-locking missiles, 
and auto-locking rockets. 

A feature new in the Lynx version is 
an invaluable overhead map and radar 
that can be instantly displayed. The 
map identifies enemies and tracks your 
position in relation to all your targets. 
Counters indicate how many enemy tar- 
gets must be eliminated to complete the 
mission, your supply of ammunition, 
and the number of rockets and missiles 
onboard. The map will become your 
most valuable “weapon,” and you’ll find 
yourself referring to it more often than 
the main screen! 


Steel Talons presents 12 increasing- 
ly difficult missions, which take place on 
terrains ranging from deserts to dense 
forests. Each mission differs in the num- 
ber and types of targets and enemies, 
the ceiling limit, the time of day, and the 
mission time limit. Neutralize all the tar- 
gets within the time limit, and you 
advance to the next mission. Take too 
long, and you must re-fly the mission 
until you get it right! 


ntOTlP: Don’t fire mis&les until the target 
flashes red. 

PROTJP: Gear away all enemies near your 
home base before you land. 


PROTIP: Save time by planning your attad( 
In either a clockwise ora countercio(d(wise 
pattern. 

PROTIP: You can save time by Dying off- 
screen to the right, whitdi makes you reap- 
pear on the left of tiie screen. This also 
applies to the top and the bottom of the 
screen. 


PROTJP: To keep on course, use your on- 
screen compass and landmatks, such as 
roads, mountains, and buildings. 


Tar^! 

only “drawback” to this otherwise 
excellent game is that it’s a one-player 
cart. A multi-player version would be the 
ultimate. (Are you listening. Atari?) The 
graphics are clearly rendered, and the 
animation and scaling effects are impres- 
sive. Added touches, such as flying 
through cloud banks and enemy chop- 
pers zipping past your face, add to the 
effectiveness of the simulation. The 
sound effects are kept to a minimum 
with no music soundtrack, which is 
appropriate since this game emphasizes 
flight simulation more than standard 
shooters. The best news is that Steel 
Talons is extremely challenging. You get 
to keep flying until you get it right! 




V.:.' ■, ■ 







HtOTIP: Slow down to make extremely 
shaip turns. 


An assortment of enemies and tar- 
gets pepper each playing field. Enemy 
camps, supply depots, and slow moving 
jeeps aid cargo tnjcks are sitting ducks. 
Heavily armored tanks, antiaircraft strong- 
holds, fighter jets, and enemy choppers 
are much more deadly. Fortunately, you 
have an enemy radar alarm, and your 
chopper can sustain a load of hits. You 
also reload and receive repairs if you 
;e it back to your home base.

Turn on Toad TV! 


Mean, green, and on their way 
to your television screen, the 
Battidtoads are back in the 
limelight! After last year’s 
award-winning NES cart, 
Tradewest had Battletoad 
faithfuls wondering what the 
awesome amphibians would do 
for an encore. Well, Super NES 
and arcade games are in the 
works (see page 25), and now 
the TV show’s on its way, too. 



Developed by DIG Anima- 
tion, creator of Captain Planet 
and The Planeteers, the half- 
hour syndicated adventure will 
feature Rash, Zitz, and Pimple 
in another thrilling fight to the 
last frog against the Dark 
Queen. The Toads will air 
nationally on November 27th 
(the day after Thanksgiving) as 
part of a three-hour “Kids’ Day 
Off’ animation special. 


Nintendo President, 
Investors Buy 
Seattle Mariners 


Seatde still has a baseball team, 
thanks at least in part to Hiroshi 
Yamauchi, President of Japan’s 
Nintendo Company, Ltd. 

For approximately $100 mil- 
lion, he and a group of Seattle 
investors won their bid to pur- 
chase the Mariners, lock, slock, 
and barrel from former owner 
Jeff Smulyan. After negotiating 
with Major League Baseball’s 
Ownership Comiitee, the group 
agreed to reduce Mr, Yamauchi’s 
controlling interest to 49%, leav- 
ing 51% to other members of 
the Baseball Club of Seattle. 

The deal was formally 
approved on June 30th, and the 
Baseball Club planned to cele- 
brate with a mid-season open- 
154 




Continued on Page 156. 


ing night on July 16th. Mr. 
Yamauchi’s investment will be 
managed by his son-in-law, 
Minoru Arakawa, President of 
Nintendo of America, Inc., 
which is based in Seattle. Mr. 
Arakawa commented, “Baseball 
is staying in Seattle. We are very 
pleased for the people of this 
area. Now they have baseball 
forever.’’ 

Sony Sega 
Join Forces 

In a move which promises to 
strengthen the Genesis, Sega CD, 
and Game Gear product lines, 

Sony Electronic Publishing 
and Sega of America 

announced a video game busi- 
ness alliance. Sony plans to 
develop games for all three Sega 
systems, which will be published 
under its Imagesoft brand 
label. Sony Pictures Enter- 
tainment and Sony Music 
Entertainment will contribute 
their vast resources to the pro- 
duction of multimedia eames. 


Sony’s initial offerings will 
include Sewer Sharit for Sega 
; CD (available December ‘92), 
; Chuck Rock for Sega CD 
^ (available January ‘93), Hook 
for Sega CD (available April 
‘93), and Hook for Genesis 
(available May “93). In conjunc- 
tion with Sony Pictures, Image- 
soft will also design games 
based on this Halloween’s classic 
horror movie remake, Dracula. 
The movie will be directed by 
Francis Ford Coppola and star 
Anthony Hopkins, Wynona 
Ryder, and Keanu Reeves. Drac- 
ula the game is scheduled to 
debut simultaneously in the 
summer of ’93 for the NES, 
Super NES, Genesis, Sega CD, 
Game Boy, and Game Gear. 

Sony also plans to grant 
Sega access to its broad distribu- 
tion channels. In concept, this 
means Se^ will be able to mar- 
ket its games at the retail oudeis 
where Sony Electronic Publish 
ing’s products are sold. 


Tecmo Teams Up 
With Sega, Too 

Tecmo, publisher of NES soft- | 
ware sensations (Tecmo Super ; 
Bowl and the Ninja Gaiden 

series) has announced plans to ; 
introduce carts for Sega’s Gene- 
sis system. Software specifics are : 
still pending. In Japan, however, 
Tecmo has licensed to Sega 
Ninja Gaiden and a soccer game 
for play on the Mega Drive. 

Zap ‘Em 
Trading Cards 

Now you can lake your favorite 
game characters wherever you ^ 
go without lugging around a 
portable game system. Huh? 
That’s right. Zap Pax puts video 
superheroes on a series of trad- : 
ing cards. The randomly packed ; 
wax packs feature characters • 
from over 30 games, including : 
Mega Man, Joe & Mac, : 
Super Adventure Island, i 
Battletoads, and Double | 
Dragon. The original rendition - 
appears on the card’s shiny ^ 
face, and vital stats and game

Nintendo 
Launches Arcade 
Super System 

Coin-op connoisseurs with fond memories 
of Nintendo's classic PlayChoice machine 
(based on the NES home system) should 
head into arcades to see the new-and- 
improved 16-bit model. Dubbed the Super 
System, the multi-game cabinet has room 
for three Super NES cartridges. You pop in 
tokens to buy play time on the game of your 
choice. Carts in the current rotation include 
Super Mario Wortd by Nintendo, F-Zero 
by Nintendo, PHotwings by Nintendo, The 
Addams Family by Ocean, and Robo- 
Cop 3 by Ocean. 

I’m Sorry HAL, 

I Can’t Do That 

Rumors abound that video game giant, 
HAL, has filed for bankruptcy in Japan. To 
date, HAL America seems unaffected by 
the bad news overseas. A spokesperson fiom 
the Oregon office confirmed that develop- 
ment on products continues, such as the 
NCAA basketball game and the College 
Football tide planned for late “93. However, 
distribution of new products made in Japan, 
such as HALs JB King joystick, may be 
affected. We’ll have more on this story as it 
develops. 



The street 
Fightin’ Scene 


Street Fightin’ fanatics and newcomers alike 
have finally gotten their hands on the Super 
Nintendo version of this hot tide. The good 
news for gamers who couldn’t wait and pur- 
chased the Super Famicom version of the 
game is that the two versions seem identical. 
We’ve only discovered one area of the game 
where the graphics were changed and, of 
course, the text was changed from Japanese 
to English, 

In other Street Fighter news, Cap- 
corn has announced that they intend to 


pursue an aggressive campaign to combat 
counterfeiting of the Street Fighter game 
series’ tides, characters, names, and logos. 
Since the company has extensive plans to 
license and market the game and its charac- 
ters to publishing, retail, toy, television, and 
motion picture markets, they’re very moti- 
vated to protect their license from unli- 
censed users trying to cash in on the 
phenomenon.

Match. 



Jennifer Capriati is one of the brightest 

prospects in professional tennis today. 
Her combination of power, stamina 
and intelligence the past two years has

opportunities for Jennifer, and she’s 
only 16!

the first tennis video game for the 
Sega Genesis system. All the realism 
of professional tennis is here, from the 
overhead smash to an ace serve. Play 
as Jennifer in exhibition singles and 
doubles matches or take her to the top 
in the circuit tournaments. You can even 
risk trying to beat Jennifer with a choice 
of up to 24 different players, or 8 you 
can create yourself. 



What a great match: Jennifer Capriati, Sega
