SANDY, AND ALL OF OUR READERS...

It seems like everybody is talking
about the next generation of gaming
these days. Of course, we’ve been
covering “the next generation” for
nearly a year now, so it’s really noth¬
ing new to us or our readers. We saw
the writing on the wall, long ago.
While others were expressing doubt,
we were following each new sys¬
tem’s growth from game one to pre¬
sent day. Explaining what it takes to
develop a game and why at first,
software is slow in coming. Sure, we
could have waited until it ‘hap¬
pened’, but would you be
as informed?

As a direct result, ______

GF has gained a lot

in the industry. We have made the
appropriate relationships and posi¬
tioned ourselves to do just that. Take
this issue for instance, we preview a
done version of Virtua Fighters, a
game that our international editors
have already beaten while visiting
the office of a Japanese Publication.
In our 32X section of GF32, we’ve
reviewed every game available at
launch. Our Jag section is bursting
at the seams... with reviews! And as
usual, our 3DO coverage is way out
ahead with a preview of Super Street
Fighter Two Turbo. ‘Japan Now’ and
our new ‘Up to the minute’ section
— are also packed with info

on all the new 32-bit

ufacturers through¬
out the industry in
both the United
States and Japan,
where we now have

an office and a growing presence in
the Japanese media. In fact, ‘Game
You’ magazine does a monthly
expose’ on GameFan because it has
become an international source of
information while retaining unsur¬
passed graphic quality. We don’t
cover Barbie games or waste multi¬
ple pages on mediocre games, we
send those back. What we try to
bring you each month is a wide
range of information from 16-bit to
32-bit, from Europe, Japan, and
the US.

As a direct result, I think that you
will find our 32-bit coverage the best

Less than two years ago, we print¬
ed our first issue, 5000 to be exact.
We are now pushing 400,000 and
growing. I hope that means we are
moving in the right direction, and
satisfying the most demanding
gamers, our core audience.

We will continue to present “a
new look” every month and constant¬
ly evolve, as we have from day one.
We are nowhere near locking our for¬
mat down. We like to think of
GameFan as a constant work in
progress, so that each month we can
still draw a few oohs and aahs from
the people who put us here.

Your spine will tingle as
you enter the terrifying
Ghoul Realm, where
the evil Phalanx
has hidden the magical,
powerful stones of the Demon’s Crest in
his plot to form a destructive empire.
Their return is up to you and Firebrand, a
flame-spitting gargoyle who morphs into
unique and powerful forms-each with
startling attacks and powers. To restore
peace, you must conquer Phalanx and his
minions on seven treacherous levels by
collecting weapons, gems and treasures.
It’s a hell of a way

LOADSTAR • SEGA CD ROCKET SCIGNCC • FMV • I PLAYGR • AVAILABLE DECEMBER

It's no secret that I, and most
of our staff, do not like FMV
games. Tapping left and right
and shooting at a movie just
aint where it’s at. However, if
you like them. Loadstar is as
good as it gets. The targets
match the FMV and the
movie stars good ol Ned.
Imagine If Rocket Science
put this much time and
money into a platformer!

Rocket Science has led the planet
in promotional/PR editorial over
the past year. Now, we have their
first game; Loadstar-'Siliwood’s"
first full functioning movie game.
Technologically, the project is
fantastic-a great movie, unfortu¬
nately it has “Sewer Shark”
gameplay. Loadstar is probably
about as good as this type of
game is going to get. But the one-
dimensional gameplay is not
going to keep anyone interested
for very long.

ANOTHER ONE?! No! This
isn't fair. Who actually thinks
we like FMV games? What
“demographics” show this??
Yeah. Loadstar's a grainy 64-
color FMV shooter, and it’s
the best of 'em, but that ain’t
saying much. Can you believe
$20M was just poured into
this company?? Can you
believe there are two sequels

VP slows down a bit and

shooter in every way.
Huge bosses, smooth

Finally, Sammy's incredi¬

comes home... but is it a
good translation? Well,
let’s just say it’s the best
possible translation given
the Genesis' limitations.
Taken alone, it's one of
the best Sega shooters
ever, and taken as a trans¬
lation it's more than ade¬
quate. A great job.

Imagine Rosseanne trying
to fit in to Kim Bassingers

Pitfall is one of the more

Its Aladdin quality anima¬

an adventure every
Genesis owner should
take. The legend contin¬

Being too young to have
appreciated the original
Pitfall, (Just as reference for
this game. I tried it... people
actually PLAYED stuff like
that?!) I must say that this
updated version is incredi¬
ble. with effects never before
seen, great jungly music and
incredible animation. The
only thing I didn't like was
how Gumby the main charac¬
ter’s control was.

Even if you weren't around to
enjoy the first generation of gam¬
ing. you are going to love Pitfall,
the Mayan Adventure. This game
has it all: beautiful graphics,
addictive. “Aladdin" style game¬
play. and an Indiana Jones style
adventure that is long and involv¬
ing. For those.of you who did play
the original. Activision has a BIG
surprise for you (look for the

surely give Activision its first 16-

X-MEN • SNES • CAPCOM • I6MEG • ACTION • I PLAYER • AVAILABLE DECEMBER

If you’re into straight for¬

better to call than Capcom.
They’ve made a ton of 'em.
This one features the X-Men
who are very well represent¬
ed. It just seems like it’s
about a year too late. With
guys like Spawn and The
Violator around, this bunch
seems like old news. X-Men
fans only on this one.

Excuse me? Uh... this is
CAPCOM we’re talking
about here?? This game
deserves a hearty “NO.”
It’s not just the hyper-lame
characters, it’s the chunky
control and the painfully
boring Mega Man X tunes.
Sure, everything looks
great, but that ain’t enough
to make a game. X-Men
fans may dig it though.

X-Men, X-Men, X-Men...
enough! These aren’t even
cool characters. Plain and
simple run-of-the-mill side
scrolling arcade action is all
you’ll find here. The graph¬
ics are of course great, but
I’ve been down this road too
many times. Why doesn’t
Capcom make a platformer

winner... your winner,

R-TYPE 3 • SNES • JALECO • I6MEG • SHOOTER • I PLAYER • AVAILABLE DECEMBER

Next to the sterling

shooter back, It sure felt
good to fly again. Good
call Jaleco.

YES! It’s about time. Being
one of the apparently few
shooter fans left, this
game is like a voice from
heaven. It’s got everything
that makes a great shooter
tick - cool special effects,
rockin’ music, nine differ¬
ent weapons and perfect
control. It’s just too hard.

Finally, another SNES
shooter! When Irem died
they left behind one awe¬
some shooter and Jaleco
came up with it. R-Type 3 is
the best of the series and
should not be missed by
any shooter fan. The new

GHOUL PATROL • SNES • JVC • 8MEG • ACTION ADVENTURE • 1-2 PLAYER • AVAILABLE DECEMBER

When the prequel to this
game came out last year, it
was one of the most talked
about games at GF. Now, a
year later, JVC attempts to
do nearly the same thing,
without the original team.
The game is OK, especial¬
ly with Halloween here,
and the new big ‘ol bosses
are cool, but the control is
off and a year’s gone by.

Not the same name, not the
same game. This sequel is
missing one thing...the
original programmers! The
result is a slower (and a bit
sloppy) but still amusing
overhead zombie romp. It's
not as good as the first but
it's still the only game of its
kind in the SNES line-up.
Hey, its Halloweeny time
too!

MICHAEL JORDAN IN CHAOS IN THE WINDY CITY • 5NE5 • EA • I6MEG • ACTION • I PLAYER • AVAILABLE DECEMBER

I give credit to EA for having
the courage to branch out
with their MJ license and
attempt something other than
a basketball game. “Chaos"
has all of the elements for a
strong A/P title; good graph¬
ics, loads of power-ups and
some nice special FX, but it’s
not substantially different
from anything you've played
before. You may want to rent
before you buy.

So, Mike's Baseball career is
sort of a sleeper, his video
game debut is surprisingly
good. Windy City is a good
game! The mix of freaks and
mongloids with basketball
really works well. Slam them
ghouls with a monster dunk
or wing a fireball upside
their head. Great graphics,
cool tunes, cool game. EA-

DOOM • 32X • SEGA • 24MEG • 3D ADVENTURE • I PLAYER/2 PLAYER LINK • AVAILABLE NOVEMBER

The 32X comes out of the shoot

texture mapping, speed and
addictive gameplay that charac¬
terized the original have made
the conversion essentially in¬
tact. Not bad. especially when
you consider that you can have
32X Doom for SI 69 plus the cost
of the game (the PC I play the
original on cost S3K!). This is a
required purchase for lucky 32X
owners.

The 32X has the stuff!
Whoa!, it's a Sega game
with color... and fast,
smooth scaling! The tunes
kind of lay there and die.
but that’s the PC talkin’.
For the money, the 32X is

looked like it was going to be
one of the most unique, fun to

someone fumbled on the goal
line! The play mechanics are so
simple that it’s a little embar¬
rassing. On the Game Boy. Lynx
or Game Gear...maybe. But, on
Atari's 64-bit powerhouse? And
the simple. 16-bit polygons don't
save it graphically, so the whole
project just kind of comes apart
at the seams.

Checkered Flag may be nice
to look at, (very nice) but it’s
a pain to play. The control
sucks. You can choose only
five drones (five less than
the Lynx version!) and they
constantly ram you, sending
you flipping like a brick. I
expected so much more
from this game, especially
with the Jag’s power. I did
the math and came up with...

This is REBELLION, the
creators of AVP? Wha??
Muddy control, absurd Al
and incredibly frustrating
play add up to an extreme¬
ly flat racer that the sup¬
posedly inferior Virtua
DLX runs circles around.

This is more disappointing than
Club Drive! No control, no texture
mapping, no gameplay, opponents
that look like little Hot Wheels (TM)
zooming past you-only to wait for
you down the road apiece...blec-
chh! The Genesis version of VR
absolutely blows CF away. This is
a major disaster. And, with only a
handful of games coming for the
Jag this Christmas, Atari can’t
afford to make this kind of mis¬
take. I like the Lynx game better.

unadvertised instant classics
JSSL like Gunstar Heroes,
Landstalker, and Ranger-X. Yes,
Ristar is gonna be a title that Sega of
America considers filler while they heavily advertise other titles like
Ecco 2 and Taz... but hey, at least they’re releasing it.

Ristar is one of the best Genesis action-platform games I’ve ever
played! For me, it’s even better than Gunstar, and it blows away
Sonic & Knuckles, Headdy, Pulseman, and any of the other ground¬
breaking Sega action games. Why? Well, for starters, Ristar is the
coolest damn character I’ve ever seen! His method of attack are his
elastic arms that he can use to kill enemies, grab walls and items,
swing around poles... the list is endless. To top it all off the control
is utterly, thoroughly, completely 100% rockin’, and the music is
without a doubt the best Genesis music ever written.

This cartidge’s backgrounds are filled with effects that you actu¬
ally HAVE NOT SEEfvf BEFORE, like amazing tranparencies (and I
don’t mean a colored pixel, then a blank one, then a colored one... I
mean SNES-caliber REAL transparencies) insane six-layered back¬
grounds, and the most bitchin’ artwork ever seen in a Genesis
title... and this system is six years old?

This game has no faults. The only thing that bothered me about
Ristar had nothing to do with the game itself but the fact that 16-Bit

learning new tricks, as evidenced by this game and many others...
it s painful to let 16-Bit go with games like Ristar still being devel-

Last year, Japanese gamers longing for an action/RPG for the Mega CD (to date there is only
one), got treated to a little gift from Falcom, (the people responsible for such masterpieces as Y’s) '
called Popfulmail. I of course wasted no time in snagging an import and thoroughly enjoyed the
game. In fact, I reviewed it right here and expressed how nice it would be if a co. like Working
Designs would pick it up for distribution in the US. Coincidentally, they were already doing just
that. And now, after re-recording the voice tracks, enhancing the graphics, and re-mixing the
music, Popfulmail is ready to go. First, let me say that this is the best game to surface for the
Sega CD since Lunar (also from Working Designs). Popfulmail is a great game in every way. a
Characters interact by really talking to each other, it has rich color, fantastic music and it’s a
long challenging game. The story follows a girl called Mail, a wiry tomboy who instead of settling
down is trying to get filthy rich as a bounty hunter. The problem is, her bounty hunting skills suck.

In fact, she’s never caught anyone! But she’s not giving up, and now it seems that her luck is
about to change. Tatt and Gaw are along for the ride on this adventure and with their varying
skills, Mail’s chances are better than ever! We’ll have the full review next month. -E Storm

I m _j. „ _ Rocket Science has been hard at work over

■ ^ 1 >■'**'' U the past year, readying their initial titles for

LV —w * \ rnmm^ ^ ^ f # • \ I \ launch on Sega CD and other platforms. A

few months back, we profiled Rocket
The Legend of Tully Bodine Science and the groundbreaking work that

they were beginning to do. Loadstar is the first out of their gate and it shows a promising future for the folks at RS.
Loadstar is, unquestionably, the best game of its kind. “Its kind” is the give it a screenplay, get some actors, roll the cam¬
eras and...oh, yeah throw in a game-of the type that we have, historically, not been the biggest fans of at GameFan.
However, Tully Bodine and the gang give us a VERY professional, cinematic presentation that features, among others, Ned
Beatty (“SOOOEY!!!”, “I’m coming Mr. Lu-ther”) as Bodine’s nemesis and a host of other characters-dropped into a futuris¬
tic storyline involving interplanetary trucking and illegal camels!? Who says originality doesn’t exist in today’s video
games? The quality of the video is absolutely outstanding (to the level of 3DO...well, from a distance anyway) and the story¬
telling is among the best seen in any Sega CD game to date. The only problem is that the gameplay doesn’t feature the
depth of the story. Your job, as Tully Bodine, is to escape from the planet surface by piloting the Loadstar through the plan¬
et’s futuristic railway system, avoiding the Sheriff (Beatty) and his men, other vehicles and different drones that are
attempting to end your flight. It’s basically a shooter on rails, with one of the key differences being that, at intersections,
you can control the direction of the Loadstar. Although the gameplay isn’t particularly deep, the game is far more interest¬
ing than titles like Sewer Shark, Tom Cat Alley or Night Trap. And if you like this game, get ready for more-Loadstar is the
first part of a planned trilogy. You and those camels are going to be traveling for some time to come! - Talko

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, Rocket Science’s *

looks to be a very promising title. The game is ' " v 'jdSfSfr '

Schultz, and it features a sort of “Out Run” 1 '.

perspective as you pilot your Cadillac through »

a futuristic, prehistoric (sounds weird, but it f SCCOHiTLCItCJClySfTI
makes sense...trust me) world, filled with lush,

tropical vegetation, fallen trees and obstacles, and a host of nasty dino’s and out¬
laws. As a matter of fact, the game has you entering the Xenozoic era, where man’s
technological abuse of the environment (in the 21st century) created an environ¬
mental disaster that forced mankind to move underground for 500 years. When you
emerge, you must restore the natural balance before the dino’s snack on all of the
peaceful settlers of the land. Sound interesting? We’ll keep you posted...

My apologies, but I'm a-fraid I
need to investigate you ma'am..

Oh yes. We are talking GAME. Never before have I played - nay,
experienced - a game this moving, dramatic, gore-riddied, MA-17,
adult.... this ROCKING- Being fe a massive fan of the PC-Engine
original, I was expecting major censorship of one of my favorite
games, as usual. What I got, however, was a perfect translation -
no names changed, no story changes, and very few graphic
changes. Don't worry, though... most of the changes were for the
better. For instance, a masquerade bar filled with Japanese span-
dex-suited sentai superheroes was changed to a masquerade bar
filled with classic Konami characters. Very, very little gore was
removed... An example would be that in the PC-Engine version of
Snatcher there was a scene depicting a dog tossed through a
window with it's intestines flowing out onto the carpet. In
America, we have no intestines. What's more is that the transla¬
tion and acting are deaB-on. Never have I heard such excellent
voice-acting in ANY American CD game. Snatcher is simply the
coolest Sega-CD ever fashioned.

The year is 1994. 5®% of the world's population has died in
what will become kn^wn as the Catastrophe. The Catastrophe is a
bioengineered virus, known as Lucifer-Alpha, that had been
under secret development in the former USSR. A mysterious
explosion destroyed the Chernotan Research Facility where
Lucifer-Alpha was being developed, thereby spreading the deadly
virus throughout thfe world. However, in 2004, the virus mutated,
rendering it non-fgthal. Who could have known, however,jthat the
greatest threat to humanity would not appear for another
50 years...? K

2044. In Siberia, now a desolate, unpopulated wasteldhd due to
the effects of the Catastrophe (80% pf Russia's population per¬
ished) a mysterious accident occurs. In the wreckage, an insafeiy
advanced human-like bioroid is discovered, with a high-powered
laser beam installed in its mouth, fis it is being transported jto,
Japan for study, it self-destructs" Gradually, more of fliese
bioroids appear, usually during the winter... with hliman skins,
and in the fc|Tn of important world leaders! Thesef frightening
robots appeal? perfectly human to the naked eye - thiy can sweat
and even bleed. But where did thfey come from?»tfi-e they an alien
menace? Because of these robo® 1 mu refer of humans in order to<
take their place, they are dubbed snatchers.

2047. Th#world has completely changed after the appearance
of the Snatchers. Man distrustsliis fellovjj man, resulting in Salem
Witch Hunt-style lynchings andlkillings. The city with the Highest j
concentration of Snatcher-rdjated deaths is the relatively new
Neo»Kobe, a Japanese city clnstrujpted on the sea itself clue to

GENESIS TAKARA 24MEG AVAILABLE NOW REVIEW

This is the FIFTH time
I’ve reviewed or pre¬
viewed some form of
Samurai Shodown in just
two months... but hey, I’m
not complaining! The
Genesis version of
Shodown is a highly com¬
petent one, and for me it’s
slightly better than the
SNES version. Yes, it’s
true that the music ain’t

so hot and you can’t con¬
trol Earthquake, (I never
used him anyway) but the
characters are HUGE,
arcade-sized, and the con¬
trol is better. This version
also has extra options, like
adjusting the rate that
items are thrown. The

the SNES version doesn’t!

title suffer slightly, though, and the BG animations were cut down to a bare minimum... but the most
shocking thing of all was the censorship! The blood has been toned town quite a bit, and the SNES rule of
changing the character’s winning dialogues applies. Do you want Tam Tam’s “My boiling blood bubbles
for battle?” Sorry... you get “My sweat bubbles for battle.” How about “Whoops, so much for an encore. I
killed him.” becoming “Whoops, so much for an encore. I stopped him.” However, I feel that in choosing a
16-Bit version of SS, since you AIN’T getting the arcade version, it all comes down to tiny characters and
great music or huge characters, OK music, and better control... and that’s that! -Nick Rox

This is incredible! It’s ANOTHER Sega-CD shooter... how
many are there now, three? At any rate, let me first commend
JVC for being brave enough to release this CD in America,
and beyond that for keeping all of the original artwork, story¬
line and names intact... (except for the character Spot... she
was called Pochi in Japan. Isn’t it odd how many games are
getting “Pochi” changed into something else these days?)
this is THE most Japanese-y game I’ve played since Tengai
Makyo II.

I can officially confirm that Keio Flying Squadron has the
strangest videogame story this year (with a possible excep¬
tion of Runandgun!’s Duelin’ Firemen): The tale takes place
in an alternate past, one in which Japan owes it’s allegiance
to America after we saved them from certain doom. However,
Japan’s only protection now is a mystical key that’s been
stolen by a mischievous raccoon bent on world domination,
Dr. Pon! Unfortunately, the key’s protectors, Rami (The mis¬
tress of the Hyper-Cutey Bunny Change) and her pet dragon
Spot, were out getting a snack when the key was stolen.
Rami’s grandmother orders her after the key, and if she
returns empty-handed... no dinner!

In her quest for a hot meal, Rami and Spot will battle
demonic raccoons, fiendish sumo wrestlers, satanic Kabuki
and the US Navy though eight ludicrous levels of heated
shootin’ frenzy. In KFS you have a wide variety of attacks,
ranging from spouting out baby dragons to tossing massive
bombs. The most unique attack feature in Keio, however, is
your options - staying still makes them grow - which can be
fired as a “kamikaze attack” with C.

All of Keio’s graphics are drawn in an ultra-cutesy
Japanese anime style, which is a rare thing on the Sega-CD
these days, and the levels are full of awesome color cycling,
huge multi-jointed bosses, smooth animation and the most
insane enemies and backgrounds since Headdy. Rami’s ani¬
mation is quite good, too - she changes direction depending
on which direction you’re facing.

KFS’ music is incredible... it’s a combination of appropri¬
ately ancient Japanese twangs and strange modern twisty
tunes, and it’s hands-down the best SCD music since Lunar.
Another cool sound feature in Keio is the fact that Rami’s
always spouting out comments (In Japanese... hopefully
they’ll be re-recorded in the final release.)

It’s refreshing to see a game this well-translated and
rockin’ on the Sega CD. Hopefully JVC’II be releasing many
more fine titles like Keio in the future. We’ll be bringing you
more KFS in a future issue! - Nick Rox ^ ^

what will most likely go down in gaming history as
the best 16-bit combat racer of all time. Seeing this
puppy move is really something. The action moves
along at a speedy 30 frames per second while mas¬

for a Sega cart. All the vehicles are digitized and
highly animated and the explosions are not only huge
but practically photo-real. At the end of each run, you
go side scroll first person. Here you’ll find DEEP par¬

If you’ve read our August ‘94 issue, you’ve seen this game
before. Known as Neogenesis Ragnacenty in Japan, Crusader
of Centy is the second game by the programming team that
brought us Ranger-X, Nextech. Luckily, Atlus (of Fbwer Instinct
fame) has decided that this wonderful game is worthy of US
release. It’s been renamed Crusader of Centy, (which this
reviewer thinks is an even more painful name than Neogenesis
Ragnacenty) but it’s the same joy-laden game - the only thing

Pitfall Harry returns from the deepest, darkest parts of the old 2-bit
world to reestablish himself as a video game adventurer for the 90

worm lo reesiaonsn nimseiT as a viaeo game adventurer for the 90 s in
Activision’s incredible “Pitfall; the Mayan Adventure.” Those of you who
have played and enjoyed Sega’s Aladdin for the Genesis (and who
hasn’t), will have to own Harry’s latest adventure. The technique, graph¬
ics, music and play environment are incredible and, to those of us old
enough to remember (and own) the original for the Atari VCS, this is a
trip down memory lane, brought brilliantly to life in this much higher-
tech age (for all of you video game historians, the original game is actu¬
ally included in this title. This little “Easter egg” is accessed by finding
a hidden spot in level 4.) As Harry, you climb, crawl, rappel, leap, throw
boomerangs, use your trusty whip, swing across vines, make use of
many weapons power-ups and generally try to make it through a HUGE,
16 Meg jungle adventure that would have Indiana Jones himself green
with envy. There are plenty of bad guys, including scorpions, monkeys,
bats, etc. and some smart, tough bosses that are
brilliantly animated. Activision has its first certified *

A popular PC CD-ROM (And I
mean IBM-PC, not PC-Engine!)
around a year ago is coming to the
Sega-CD from the programmers at
Vic Tokai. In the story you assume
the role of Michael Dawson, a man

ivery nan

who’s just moved into a strange town and is plagued with incredible
headaches and visions of strange Giger-esque beasts. Why does he have
such terrible nightmares? Why do the townspeople seem so distant and far
away? Why is Dawson’s life filled with an overall sense of foreboding and
terror? And why did a child’s doll arrive in the mail and morph into a crea¬
ture that looked straight outta Aliens?! Find out when this intriguing Secret
of Monkey Island-style quest is released later this year. - Nick Rox

EAJkps succeeded in just about every genre of gaming.
In almost every category, EA’s had a hit. But can they
craw the fighting genre? That’s wUt we’re here to
find out. *

they start things off on a positive note with a BIG star,
to play the lead, Shaquille O’Neal. But Shaq is a sports
star, will fight fans embrace him? Next, they comman¬
deered the assistance of Delphine, the animation masters
behind Flashback and Out of This World. So far, so good.
Now they need a story. Let’s see, Shaq ducks in to a shop
on the way to a game and is swept away to a parallel
world to fulfill his destiny, OK, I’ll buy that. Hey, now we
can have fictional characters. Now for the hard part...
execution.

The graphics in SF are excellent, there's smooth cliar-
i acler animation, very good color, and creative artwork.

Shaq is represented really well with an exaggerated look
1 that adds greatly to the theme. The other characters are
diverse and have very creative special attack techniques
(the problem is finding them). The game scores high
marks in these categories.

Fighting games are ultimately measured by moves and
balance. Ot course, it helps if you know the moves, but
unfortunately the manual doesn’t contain them. So, you
have to experiment, which can only be done in two play¬
er mode. Starting off against the computer opponent,
you’ll get slaughtered (they’ve got moves... ybu don’t).
So, if you don’t have a second player, you’ll find yourself

playing two player mode alone, trying to pull off, and then write down
the special moves. Once you find them, the game gets a lot better. But
what a pain. Why not include them? Many of the moves are executed ala
SF2 - Dragon Punches, Flash Kicks etc... like I said experiment.

If it wasn't for this set back, I’m sure I would have enjoyed Shaq-Fu a lot
more. I kind of burned out, not knowing if I knew all the moves lor each
character. The computer opponent certainly knew them. As I was lighting
them I saw lots of moves i’d love to use against them.

If you have the time to master Shaq Fu I think you’ll find it a worthy
fighter. It is a quality title that is well thought out and put together. Is it a
hit? Well, its got Shaq's name on it and that’s a big head start. -Takahara

CORE
SEGA CD
DECEMBER
PREVIEW

? l know, I know, we had this game on the cover six issues ago.

But that was just to let you know it was coming! When Core
_ announces a new CD, we tend to get a bit excited. And why not?

4 They only make the best games tor the Sega CD.

Formerly known as Chuck Rally, this fine game now goes by the
name BC Racers. Chuck and Jr. are still in the game, but I think
Core wanted to put the emphasis on all the characters, thus the
name change. BCR is very close to completion (it will follow the
incredible Soulstar), but this is still a preview. I will say this...what
game! BC has behind the bike and virtua views, features noggin' vV
knockin' carnage, and the tracks are the coolest. As far as the seal- t
4: ing goes, well, let's just say perfect. Of course the artwork in the &
game is the genius cartoony stuff that Core is famous for, and the
4 music should be pumpin’. I’ll have the full scoop on BC Racers
next month. -E Storm _ ?

J W Capcom's biggest star is about to grace

your SNES screen once more... that's right...
Mega Man! The blue one is back in an all-out
12-Meg action platformer coming this
December. You're probably thinking the
‘ same thing I am... "ALREADY?!” It’s only
t been about six months since the first
W game, and the story resumes six months
later as well: Sigma's been d^siioyed, hut
many <>t hits followers have fled and taken

This title carries the same exact style as seen in the first adventure, with a
few added extras, such as a DSP chip for extremely speedy gameplay, a few
polygons, and bigger and meaner bosses. If you thought the first game was
tough, let's just say you're in for quite a bit more. No more hiding in the top
corner of the screen to pick the bad guys off this time around! What about
the megs? Well, I'm gettin' to 'em. Although this title is 12-Megs, just like its
predecessor, you've got the added DSP which accounts for the longer
stages, more scrolls and even massive mid-level bosses to bring a smile to
your face and blisters to your thumbs.

Megaman X2 still displays his sleek look, charging X-Buster and Power
Dash. My only gripe was the fact that Rush the dog was nowhere to be
found... OK guys, maybe next time. In my opinion, however,
this should have been the first Megaman game on the
SNES, as I feel it comes closer to the original 8-Bit MM - ijraC
than the first "X" did. Capcom keeps the quality set on *' * *

"high" here, with incredible graphics and music. Mega
Man has such a universal appeal... this character S

doesn't tire easily. So, ^

Heroes... the feeling of “NO WAY! THIS VflJr 1

is a ‘name of system*?!” That’s right,
friends, B&R is truly a near-perfect gjjl
action game. I guess the only thing I
haven’t mentioned is the music, which
rocks, and it’s a perfect translation of
the cartoon’s symphonic themes. As kickin’ as this title is,
it was hard for me to come up with a complaint, and the one
I got was very insignificant - this game suffers from
■JL the Legend curse...

*- “jump-kick destroys
all.” It’s quite minor, !§ fa y

though. So, whatcha waitin’
for? B&R is waiting for you!

The Uncanny X-Men... surely the most popular cartoon on TV today, to say nothing of the comic. Who
else would have bought the license but Capcom? Capcom has chosen this, a 16-Meg Ninja Warriors/Final
Fight combination as their first X-Men game. The first thing you’ll notice about X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse
is the fact that you’ve got FIVE selectable characters - Cyclops, Wolverine, Psylocke, Gambit, and Beast.
Each character has his or her mutant abilities that are accomplished with SF2 controller movements. For
example, Wolverine can do a Shoryuken-like uppercut the same way Ryu does his, and a fireball motion

will fire Cyclops’ death ray. Each character has his own stage, similar to Mega Man, and after finishing all

five you play the final five or so stages with any character of your choice. The players in X-Men are huge,
as are all of the enemies and bosses. If not for the fact that you can jump up to different levels and plat¬
forms, you’d think you were playing Ninja Warriors. The graphics and art in X-Men is above average, but
there are few special effects, and you might even notice that the infamous creator of Cammy, Linn
Kurosawa, Morrigan and now Siren’s at it again... he drew Psylocke! The tunes and music are okay, and
they all sound very Capcom. There are a few speech samples as well, but none from the actual cartoon.
All in all, X-Men is an average platformer, but of course the real hook of the game is the X-Men them¬
selves. If you’re an X-Men fan, here it is... Mutant Apocalypse is easily the best game featurning every¬
one’s favorite mutants yet. - Nick Rox

When I recieved this game to review, I thought... “ANOTHER
ONE? Why? Wasn’t the first one good enough??” However, I
ended up giving quite a hats off to Ocean for this fine cart...
it’s a great addition to your SNES library, ed.- “Nicks being
funny”

Beginning with several seconds of high-quality speech in an excellent cinemat¬
ic intro, Jurassic Park 2 will take you through totally different styles of play than
it’s predecessor, ‘cause this time around it’s a Contra-style adventure! In Part
Two you play the role of a marine, Casey Cross, who’s been sent into Jurassic
Park to protect it from an evil millionaire named Craig Lockhart who wants the
dino-infested attraction for himself. Along the way you’ll take on such missions
as destroying a rampaging T.Rex or protecting defenseless Gallimimus. As I’ve
said before, JP2 is an extremely Contra-style platformer with a touch of Alien3

tossed in for good
measure. Your main
character has sever¬
al guns at his disposal,
as well as an extensive
arsenal of funky-fresh
tranquilizers and hom¬
ing lasers... those
Velociraptors don’t go down
easy! This title also features
several maze-oriented stages inside huge industrial warehouses and dense jungles.

JP2’s background art and animation is superb, with insane amounts of splashy colour and tons ‘n’ tons of quality
parallax. You’ll also find umpteen fantastic visual effects, like cool transparent mist, digitized machinery, and -
dinosaurs straight out of the film. The music for the game is also high-quality, with numerous Aficanesque -
jungly beats with keen exotic overtones. Jurassic Park 2’s sound effects are awesome, too...
the intro is completely narrated and the dinosaur’s wails o’ triumph and pain are excellent. &

All in all, Jurassic Park 2: The Chaos Continues is a fantabulous SNES plat¬
former, and a boon if you’re an Alien3 or Contra (not to mention Jurassic) -
fan. Check out JP2 this Christmas for a packed-wit’-fun platforming
extravaganza! - Snarf

Do any ol you remember Sonic Blast Man?
Me neither, really, except that cheesy punch-
meter arcade game. He’s back, I guess, to com¬
bat the terrible fiend Yafu who’s terrorizing poor
earth people everywhere. This time around, our
hero is joined by two powerful buddies, Sonia
and Captain Pur... er, Choyear. Sonia resembles
a female Sonic Blast Man, and her main power
is the mastery of fire. She’s the fastest of the
three warriors. Captain Choyear is a burly dude
with massive lightning-charged armor - he’s the
Slowest. Each character has a massive variety
of moves in this 12m Final Fight clone, and the
superheroes even have two attack buttons of
different strengths making this cart feel that

k ^ \— \ J ( Ghoul Patrol is a highly original, top-view game

be compared to something along the lines of
Illusion of Gaia, but that doesn’t mean Ghoul Patrol has RPG overtones... it doesn’t. You can
^ run mario-style, jump, slide, fire unique weapons like sucker-tipped arrows and you have a
choice of two members of the Ghoul Patrol, (?) Zeke and Julie. The characters aren’t differ-

two-player feature. This cart is very maze-oriented, so if you’re a fan of that sort

When the bald one hits the
dank sewers of Chicago, using

his well developed basketball

and Action/Platform skills to

vanquish the city of its ene- j y-

mies, there could only be one r y.

result; Chaos in the Windy City.

This new title from Electronic . jj\

Arts came as somewhat of a ' c "

surprise to all of us at

GameFan. When you think Michael, you don’t immediately think
“action game”. But the folks in San Mateo have cooked up a
long, tough challenge for AP and Michael fans alike. Making use
of b’balls that can be powered up along the way, you have to
make your way through subterranean Chicago-trying to save
your hoop playing friends that were kidnapped while staging a
charity basketball game. Chaos is not the best Action/Platform
game around, but the inclusion of Mr. Jordan certainly makes it
unique. And the graphics and music/sound FX are excellent.
Although I hesitate to recommend this game for the average

player. If you’re an avid AP
^ player, or simply a big fan of the

, Arizona League’s #1 attraction,

you will find a lot to like in
1 'JL V \. Chaos in the Windy City. For a

Wfcjg- company not known for its

t 7 • t action games, EA has done a
v | credible job with this title
> \ and made a highly unique ” j

addition to the genre in
the process. - Dr. E

ACCLAIM • 16-MEG • PREUIEI/J • AVAILABLE DEC. P I

The most popular member of the X-men team has y
finally spawned his own game. Wolverine claws his way H ||
on to the SNES with above average animation and a „ a

wide variety of trademark moves. The action is a mixture
of arcade fighting and challenging platforming. Our hero comes equipped
with his infamous claws, which give him the ability to climb and grapple,
this along with a vast array of punches and kicks gives Wolverine an almost
lifelike flow. The control however, will take some getting use to. There’s
always a catch! The levels in Wolverine are cavernous and give the game a
nice comic book feel. The game is drawn well and should meet the
approval of the Marvel following. Wolverine’s enemies, range from robots,
to flying sentries, and of course your favorite comic villains like Destroyer
Program, Tri-Fusion, Lady Deathstrike, Geist, Bloodscream, Cyber, Black
Queen, Shinobi Shaw, and Fugue make their presence known throughout
the game, as the story unfolds in pure comic book style. Acclaim has done
some nice work with their comic book line, and Wolverine is a nice addition.
It will be interesting to see what their move to 32-bit will bring. -Snarf

FOR THE SUPER NES®.

CVWKC:

Acclaim’s second foray into the one on one fighting arena, Rise of the Robots, will
soon make its debut on the Super NES. Coming of its success as a best selling PC
title, Rise of the Robots clocks in at a whopping 32-megs. ROTR’s main features are its
impressive Ray-traced graphics and realistic mini-movies for each combatant.

The story revolves around a super corporation and developer of the most advanced
robots designed to manage the daily aspects of every day life on a high-tech civiliza¬
tion. Until one day a computer virus infects the main self-awareness program, eventu¬
ally shutting down the plant and reprogramming the security droids to become, well,
lets just say, a bit grumpy. Your job is to put a stop to these renegade droids and
eventually work your way up to the main machine. Standard equipment includes the
usual one on one vs. mode, and tournament mode, but ROTR also sports a story
mode, this is where you’ll get to view the some of the amazing animation. In the story
mode, you must acquire your special moves by crushing opponents. Your enemies
will range from life-like robots to four legged service droids. The look and feel to this
game is unique, and that doesn’t come often. However, the action moves quite slow as
the lumbering droids try to make a game of it. You definitely pay a price for these
graphics (I.E., don’t expect SF2, Combo’s are not standard issue). If you shop for
graphics shop for Rise of the Robots, but if precision control is your game, there are
better fighters available. - Snarf

Wow! Did you ever think a good game could
have Macaulay Culkin as the main character?
Incredible! Well, it’s finally happened... Fox
Interactive’s Pagemaster, based on the upcoming
animated film of the same name, is coming. In the
Pagemaster you assume control of an animated
Culkin who’s searching for library cards. That’s
right, library cards! To assist him in his platforming
quest, you can gain various power-ups like twinkly
jumping shoes, climbing putty for grabbing onto
ceilings, and even a bag o’ eyeballs to throw at
your ghastly opponents. Each level is filled with
mightily cool effects, like transparent mist, incredi¬
ble character animation and tons of parallax. There
are even amazing Mode-7 “driving” sequences on
a flying book! If you’re a Macaulay fan than this is
your game. - Nick Rox

Every time I have the extreme pleasure of reviewing or previewing a Konami game, I’ll always say
“Konami rocks.” This time I won’t, though... I’m sure you know that by now. Anyway, Animaniacs is an
unsurpassed action title that’s heavily reminiscent of Gambare Goemon / Mystical Ninja. The action is set
up in almost the exact same way, but this time around you have several new features... First, the playing
area is much larger than that of Goemon, but the game’s biggest hook is that your playing THREE charac¬
ters at once! Not in a Secret of Mana style either... you’re controlling ‘em! The characters - and that’s Yakko,
Wakko and Dot - aren’t really unique, as they are in the equally fantastic Genesis version of the game, as
they all basically do the same thing. The coolest thing
about the SNES version, though, is the “short stack.”

With this technique the three characters stack up,

allowing you to proceed to higher ground. And if one or ~ ^

even two characters die... you ain’t reachin’ that plat- i : L .^

form! Every feature, graphic and sound of this game
are quite near perfection

the music tracks are perfect
renditions of their TV counterparts, the enemies and
backgrounds are true Konami hilarity, and the control is

pure joy. Animaniacs is a
^ highly recommended buy for

any action gamer and
a must-buy for Sjjd I

DOOM!

DOOM is without a doubt, the SF2 of 30 adventure games. The roll
started on PC, is currently reaping havoc on the Jag and 32X, and is
on its way to the Ultra 64, and Sony PSX. So far, every version has
been a little different and ID Software is burning the midnight oil
working on several sequels. Why is DOOM so big? Because DOOM is,
simply put, the most entertaining slaughter'test to ever grace a
screen. It has secret hidden places to find, a wide range of obtain¬
able weaponry, the atmosphere is dark and gloomy and constantly

changes, and you can literally blow the _ _

heads off mongoloids all day. What ’
could be better than that? Games that
offer an escape from reality of this
magnitude give me goose bumps. After

a long day at the office, I enjoy nothing more.

What makes me even happier is that I’m playing DOOM with my
Sega six button, and not a clunky keyboard or PC controller. I pur¬
posely never played DOOM until now, vowing that I would not, until
it appeared on a real ‘game’ platform.

The 32X offers a great game of DOOM, especially when you con¬
sider the price. A PC equipped to play this game will cost you a cou¬
ple thousand dollars (at least) while the 32X is a mere 169.99. The
on, V apparent difference is that the 32X
version is not full screen. However, the
fact that it is not, allows it to move at a
frantic pace, very smoothly. After seeing
the PC version I can honestly say that this

124

version is not only faster, but plays better. After level fifteen in 32X
DOOM you will find levels exclusive to this version, yet another plus.
The music in DOOM 32X mimics the PC. Some of the haunting melodies
are quite good while some have you rushing to the exit to escape it. I
wish that ID would have re-done the tunes for the 32X version. They
are still more good than bad, so I’ll let it slide.

I haven’t played the Jag version of DOOM yet, (I believe Talko is
writing that one) so I can’t compare the two at this time. I know the
Jag version is full screen but I doubt it’s as fast. If the music is better
it’ll be close. I know one thing for sure, I love this game on the 32X
and I cannot wait for part two! -E Storm

For me, Virtua Deluxe would be the game to
abilities. The Genesis version was excellent, bu
quality of the coin-op when it came to color and
for my 32X and this game, to see if an arcade q.
racer would finally be available for home play.

I’m happy to report that when I plugged VR DLX in to my 32X I was
thoroughly impressed. I would have been happy with such a close rendi¬
tion of the arcade game alone, but with VR DLX you get so much more.
There are two new tracks in VR DLX and they are both as impressive as

r measure the 32X’s
le nowhere near the
il. I waited anxiously
version of this great

the originals, if not more so. The Highland track Is especial¬
ly spectacular, with monstrous buildings at track side and a
tunnel that you pass over and under. The Sand Park track
features huge hilly terrain, an awesome tunnel, and a fork
in the road divided by a huge mountain that sports a texture
mapped Sega Sports logo. The color in VR DLX is equally
impressive. It’s hard to tell you’re not playing the real thing.

There are two new cars to choose from as well, including
a sprint car and a stock car. The sprint has a lightning fast
top speed but is a chore to control, while the stock is slow-

er (but fast enough to win!) and handles
like a dream. You can let the rear end
drift to the point of a spin and pull it
right back in. This car is so fun to drive, I
now prefer this version over the coin-op.
In the music Department, VR DLX scores
equally high scores with deep rich
arcade style tunes and perfect sound
effects and voice. VR DLX is everything
I’d hoped for and more, and has proven
to this reviewer that the 32X is capable
of great things. -E Storm

Rebel spaceships, striking front a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire. During the battle, Rebel spies

managed to steal secret plans to the Empire’s ultimate weapon, the Death Star, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an
entire planet.

Pursued by the Empire’s sinister agents, Princess Leia races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her
people and restore freedom to the galaxy... that’s what it say’s in the instruction booklet. So, I guess we’re flying Leia in this one.

Star Wars appeared in finer arcades just recently, and now it finds a second home on the new 32X. The 32X game is amazingly close to the
arcade version, (it also has a special ‘32X mode’ with tour extra levels) except in the area of music, where you (at first) may exclaim “oh
yes!” But then, once the game starts, may exclaim “oh no!” When you first plug Star Wars in, during the intro., you’ll hear a perfect rendi¬

tion of the Star Wars’ movie theme. The

can play LONG samples. When the game starts, you get phenom sampled effects but the music

grunts along Taz style. Honestly, I was so busy shooting, I didn’t
really notice the music that much anyway. Keep in mind these
games were made ready in a record five months! In fact, can you
remember any system that went from concept to retail shelves so
fast? Sega has done a remarkable job with the 32X. I’m sure the
second wave of games will have rockin’ tunes like VR Deluxe and
Cosmic Carnage.

The CD based 32X games will of course have perfect audio.

Now, on to the game. Let me begin by
saying the 32X scales huge poly-
' gons perfectly at high

speeds, and the color
§ palette is vast.

the armor and body changes. When assembled, these ingredients ad up to a very
interesting and definitely unique fighting experience. Depending on the armor that

you choose, the moves change. For instance, thick upper body gear may negate your fireball move but will provide more punching power and bet¬
ter defense. Picking your character in this game is half the fun. When you’re on the receiving end of a fierce blow your armor flies off out of the
screen! And when you do a roundhouse punch or kick, arms and legs (for those who have them) scale outward, the two SH2 processors at work!

When the dust has settled, I think you’ll be very satisfied with this game. For a first effort it is quite good. While it doesn't offer the depth of SF2,
it is an entertaining and above all, great looking fighter. -E Storm

32X PREVIEW

X What a surprise! Out of all the new 32X games that I
reviewed this month, this is the one that convinced me I must
own a 32X. Of course, the fact that I raced Motocross for seven
years has something to do with that. Being that I did actually
partake in the sport, I know MX games. The first thing I know is
that there aren’t enough of them!

In Super MX, you can race beginner, Novice, Amateur, or Pro
i in every class, 125cc, 250cc, or Super Bike (500cc). There are
twelve tracks including outdoor and stadium and you can play
an entire season (complete with password) in either one or two
player mode. The action in Super MX is near perfect. The stadi-
X urn tracks include monster jumps (doubles and triples), high
berms to mow in to, and loads of arm pounding whoop-de-doos.
The bikes react realistically, (bogging when you hit deep ter¬
rain or fail to get the front end up over rough ground) and the
actual skills needed to win in the higher classes, are exactly
^ like the real thing. My version had only place holder music so

I I’ll wait to report on sound until next month. My only complaint
is in the rider’s body english. When you’re twenty feet in the air
on an MX bike there is a certain way you pitch the bike. In
Super MX this animation is missing (the rest is very good). This
may be corrected, so again, tune in next month.

£ On to the graphics... W ow! From the dirt, to the grass, to the

I backgrounds, the visuals are
* -yT 'Z Photo real. Also, each bike

"m{.& v ■ scales realistically in contrast

PREVIEW

Here it is, grabbed off of a super high quality Hi-8 tape we received from ace
overseas correspondent Yagi-san, it’s the final version of Virtua Fighters for
the Sega Saturn. I haven’t played it yet (three more weeks, three more weeks)
but judging from the video... it is FAST! The music and effects are perfect,
and the animation is as smooth as the arcade. Although Virtua is totally
awesome, it is the first game and I’ve already seen other
games on the system that blow me away much
more (see Up to the Minute, Saturn Preview,

K | J or Japan Now). But I am still stoked that I get „ 41
to play a home version this exact. Next
kfj, month we sta‘rt our actual Saturn coverage ^

(meaning we’ll have systems) so stay
tuned to GF32 for the best Saturn ,/f. a |

\ coverage anywhere! -E. Storm

GF32 SATURN PREVIEWS

Well, the time has come. By the time you read this, the Sega Saturn will be out in Japan. After viewing the most
recent video tapes from Japan, I have to say that so far the Saturn regardless of the specs has the best games I
have seen so far. Clockwork Knight especially blew me away. This game does things that are hard to describe. It
is SO 3D! Virtua Fighters is moving insanely fast and smooth, and Panzer Dragoon is hands down the coolest and
most innovative shooter that I have ever seen. Before the close of ‘94, the action, role playing, adventure, fighting,
and shooting categories will all be represented. And ‘95 is packed with exciting releases in every category. Next
month, we’ll have the real thing, so stay tuned to GF32 for the best Saturn coverage anywhere!

mbl.

This amazing boss scales in as a jet, transforms in to a robot, does battle, then changes back to a jet and flies into, and then
around and behind the table, zooming in for another battle! Everything you see on screen, scales!

PANZER DRAGOON SEGA JANUARY ‘95

In Panzer Dragoon, you must defend yourself by shooting beside, behind and in front of your mighty dragon. Aiming is done
with a unique crosshair that follows your dragons animations. The scaling in Panzer Dragoon is amazing!

CLOCKWORK KNIGHT SEGA DECEMBER 9TH

GF32 32X PREVIEW

By the time you read this, you should be able to run out and buy a 32X at your local game store.
Besides the six initial titles, Doom, VR Deluxe, Super MX, Cosmic Carnage, Star Wars, and Space Harrier (the most for
any new system at launch), Sega and their third parties have much more in store in the months to come. Besides the
games pictured here, Sonic Chaotic, Dracula X, BC Racers, Soulstar, After Burner, Metal Head, Stellar Assault, Tempo,
Corpse Killer, Supreme Warrior, Slam City, Battle Corps, Tee Off, and Batman Forever are all planned for ‘95.

SUFER SPACE HARRIER SEGA DECEMBER

it’s the ultimate flash from
the past! We’ve played it in
the arcades and on the
Genesis, and now we get to
experience the ultimate
Space Harrier on the new
32X! This version features
hardware scaling, upgraded
audio, and huge sprites.
Super Space Harrier should
be available soon after the
32x s launch this November.

Angus MacGreggor shows Thundra there’s more
than one legendaiy monster in Scotland.

Danja didn’t just leave her heart in
San Francisco. Thanks to the nimble Thundra,
she left a few pints of blood, too.

Apparently, the West was won with a
charbroiling fireball. But wait till you see what
Pakawa has up his sleeve.

So you may have to walk
with a slight limp. And people
might call you “Lefty” or “Stump”
All things considered, though,
you got off lucky.

It’s just the way things go when you play
Kasumi Ninja, the first 32-Meg fighting game for
the 64-bit Atari Jaguar. Yeah, things get graphic,
all right. There are death moves like scalping,
kicks that puncture lungs, and enough blood to
make a surgeon hurl.

But, unlike other fighting games, there’s a
point to all this carnage. Beating your opponent
means you sharpen your fighting techniques
and acquire secret items that will help you
through a 3D labyrinth for your final battle with
Gyaku, the possessed Ninja elder.

So after you maim Gyaku and butcher what¬
ever else might come your way, you win. isn’t
that worth a limb or two?

tail!

It’s a jungle in there. Good thing Danja has the
street-brawling skills needed to Fight her way out

The brute strength oF Pakawa allows him to bench

When you first see and play Doom on the Jaguar, those of
you who have played or seen the original PC version of this
game will keep saying to yourselves; “I got the Jag for 250
bucks...I can’t believe it, I can’t believe it!” BELIEVE IT!
Doom on the Jaguar is an incredible 3D experience, one of
the most addictive single player, and
the best multi-player games of all
time. The developers have even man¬
aged to include levels not seen in the
PC game and wall and floor textures
that were not used in the original. In J .

addition, the graphics are even more I , l \ \ -

gory-all of this while still managing to , V N

give the game a frame rate and play- 'mjj/f?* \

ing speed (full screen!) equal to run-
ning the game on a $3,000 Pentium

based machine! For those of you who have lived under a
rock for the last year and may have missed all of the hoopla
surrounding this legendary game, Doom is a straight ahead
shooter that drops you at the doors of Hell and dares you to
d efeat Sa tan’s minions-armed with only a single fire pistol.

* All is not lost, however. As you

begin ventilating a few bodies, more
powerful weapons become available
to you; including a shotgun, Gattling
gun and culminating in the grand¬
ly |;| jp / daddy of them all...the BFG 9000

tions?). But it gets better...you can

So far in ‘94, Bubsy the Bobcat
has suffered through two horrible
..games. One on the SNES,
one on the Genesis. The poor lit-
tle kitty that was once so popular
has fallen from grace. Can the
Jag help bring him back? I sure
hope so. I like Bubsy. ‘Bubsy in
Fractured Furry Tales’ is not fin¬
ished yet but I just had to get a
"hold of it to see what was up.
Thankfully, the game is being
designed similar to part one, with
lots of platforming and huge lev¬
els. At this time however, the
enemies animate poorly in corn-

144

/- / parison to Bubsy and ,

the bosses are flat and *
don’t match the graphic
j quality of the rest of the 1 *
game. Of course, it is not fin¬
ished so hopefully, this stuff is place
holder and will change. If it does, I think*
we may have a real winner on our hands.
While the game doesn’t sport any special j<
effects, or multi jointed mega sprites, it-
does have deep rich color, well designed 5
levels and very good music. I don’t J
understand why the designers aren’t •
using the Jag hardware for effects like 1
huge animated bosses and 3D effects,
that have become common-place on the
16-bit Genesis, but I’ll let it slide if Bubsy
turns out to be a straightforward quality
platformer. Why? Because
that’s my kind of game and f
the Jag doesn’t have one...
yet. Cross your fingers. ' i

Hot on the heels of all of the texture mapped
splendor of Alien vs. Predator, Atari delivers Club
Drive-a unique “racing” game that seems to have
shunned the idea of creating a true “64-bit” envi¬
ronment in favor of a more traditional 16-bit, poly¬
gon environment-one that we have become accus¬
tomed to in games like Atari’s Race Drivin’. This
technological revisionism could be forgiven if
Club Drive offered speed, realistic mapping of the
cities and locales in the game, or if it offered
incredible play mechanics. Sadly, none of these is
the case in Club Drive. The funny thing is. in spite
of the limited play mechanics, blocky graphics and
suspect control, I actually found myself enjoying
the timed racing through San Francisco (not a bad
little rendition of the “city by the bay”), vehicle
‘tag’ with the computer, exploring the old west
(complete with the Atari building and a mondo
dinosaur) and collecting powerballs against the
clock-for awhile (about 40 minutes actually). A few
more months in development and a better theme
for the game would have done wonders for Club
Drive. As it is, the game’s biggest strength is that
you can drive almost anywhere within the different
areas of the game and explore-but that's not the
object of the game. Even then, you can t get away

have been done on the Genesis or SNES. If you’ve
already beaten AVP and are starving for product,
then I imagine you’ll buy Club Drive-but don't say
we didn’t warn you! With so much good Jag stuff
coming in the next two months, it’s really hard to
get too excited about Club Drive. - Talko

It’s no secret, the Jag has been suffering through somewhat of
a dry spell until now. It is also no secret, that so far there has not
been a bad Jaguar game. Well I hate to burst your bubble but this
may just be the first one. Dragon is a fighting game, and fighting
games have to have two things: interesting characters and moves.
Dragon has neither. The characters are boring ‘real life’ looking

goons, and there are pretty much NO MOVES. Of course you can
kick and punch, but unless you build up enough Chi, which allows
you to use nunchakas for a limited time and do unspectacular
Karate moves, that’s it. No mas. Of course the graphics are nice
and colorful, and the music is OK, but who cares when you’re
playing a virtual bore fest. If you pass on one Jag game this year
Dragon should be the one. -Takahara

Hie first Atari driver is ready to hit the
j streets. I mean this baby is done. By the
* time you read this, you should be playing it,
, or just about to at least.

} Besides stating that this is a racer which

< draws its rich visuals trom the use of col-

< orful shaded polygons, I can further
r describe it by saying it is Atari's version ol
J llirtua racing... sort of. As VR feels' like

Sega game, Checkered Flag feels' like a Rebellion game. AM2 (the designers behind HR)
are the masters of this genre, while Rebellion seem to be, well, a bit lost amongst the
polygons, if you know what I mean.

In CF the car pivots, unlike VR where the rear wheels follow the front. This may
throw you off at first hut you'll catch on to the control faster than you think. Problem is,
once you catch on, it's still too jerky to really let go and have fun. I was all over the
track for about five minutes, after that, I was only periodically mashing in to walls. It's
just the way this game is... you hit stuff... a lot. Just remember, when you're cornering,
the position the car is in when you release it, is the direction it is going to go. There is
NO over steer. The control Is touchy, very touchy.

What I do like about Checkered Flag is the smoothness of the huge polygons and
track side attractions, the beautiful locales (there are ten tracks!), and the great
music, it's nice to hear an Atari game with good tunes, it gives me hope. In the past
Atari has not emphasized music that much, hut the Jag has great audio capabilities, and
it's nice to hear them at work. You can choose to play a singles race, free practice, or
enter a tournament. As in the Lynx game you can set the drones. Five is the maximum
droneage, which Is a bit scarce, hut believe me, those five will taunt you throughout
each race. You can view your car from six vantage points during the race, I found
views 4 and 5 the best.

Besides these attractions, CF also allows
yon to set your weather, the color of your j
car, and other various conditions while the ,• ~ |

screen displays the item spinning gracefully
before your eyes. 1 y

Overall, I found CF a well put together but
quirky racer. If you can dial the control,
you may grow attached to it is

definitely a great looking game. -Takahara 'fHHB |HH

Make no mistake, mis ain’t some chaise lounge-reclining,

cocktail sippin’ affair. Samurai Sho&own™ on the
3D0 brings home all the bad-aSSTlSSS of the
arcade original. Sure. We could have softened the

carnage - ini ens 1 ve graphics. But we didn't.

And sure, we could have left out the brutal,
bone - shat t ering game-play. But that ’ a suck.

And yeah, we suppose we could’ve even caved in and lost

some of that freakin' arterial spray. But hey.

We broke a few rules. So sue us I And liack to your
little heart's content. But be careful.

With 32-bits. you could poke an eye out.

Before you read any further, take a look at these shots. Arcade?
Nope. That’s right, the most popular arcade game ever pro¬

I bet that by now you’re wondering how you’re going to be con¬
trolling this monster with a standard, squeaky 3DO pad. It’s pos¬
sible - just very painful. The L button is Jab, Start is Strong and R
is Fierce. Select pauses, and the A, B, and C buttons are your
kicks. Have no worries, though, Capcom’s lusciously kick-butt
Soldier Pad (pictured here) will be available at release ^
and Panasonic is working on an arcade stick. »

What more can be said about Street Fighter II?

You’re either as bored as hell with it or are still
infatuated. I’m in the latter group, and if you are too... buy
this game. If you don’t have a 3DO, this is the ultimate reason
to buy one... it’s so good that I have but one complaint: our .
preview copy had only four characters! Jr

Novastorm is a ter- _

rilic piece of tech- ^ Jmtm
nology. 300 owners
will immediately
be tempted to compare it to
Panasonic’s Burning Soldier, but I
think that a more accurate compar¬
ison is to the original laserdisc
game (yes, even before Dragon's
Lair), Astron Belt. In Novastorm (tor
import tans, this is the same game
as the FM Towns Marty's
“Scavenger 4"), you basically have
a straight ahead shooter on an FMV
background. But, like Astron Belt,

there are “hot-spots"
that are programmed
JM pp* into the landscape
y and objects that form
the game's backdrop.
In fact, Novastorm is the first game
of this type to come close to dupli¬
cating the level of interaction
offered by the more traditional
computer generated images found
in most games. The graphics are
absolutely gorgeous. Live action
and cinematic sequences are inter¬
changed smoothly and are seam¬
less. Enemy objects are drawn with

Off World Interceptor isn’t a racing/shooter, as we all thought. It’s more of a ‘survive until you get to the
boss and then get pummelled into scrap’ kind of game, in the arcade levels, you must avoid enemy fire,
pick up fuel and weapons, and pray that the goal line is close at hand. There is no time to enjoy lofting
off of jumps or maneuvering your incredible 4x4. There is CONSTANT shooting as your car flips out of
control across the floor of Total Eclipse’ like terrain. Not that TE doesn’t have amazing terrain, it does,
but you got to enjoy it. In this game you simply get to become a part of it. Meet a boss and I’m sorry, I
launched twenty missiles directly in to the first one and barely dented his gauge. In the same amount of
time, he roasted me like a hot dog on the fourth of July. You must beat four areas to reach him and
after three tries, it’s game over. You have to do the whole level again! In other words, to beat OWI you
must go through the entire game with three lives, unless you buy continues... for 100,000 clams! In the
story mode OWI features a top quality movie right out of Mystery Science Theater that is hilariously
funny, and the graphics are a sight for sore eyes, you also get a decked out 4x4 from the get go, but
still, the carnage is just too heavy. The battle mode is where it’s at in this game, and (if you tell a friend)
really saves the day. This is ultra fun! It’s just you and your buddy on the course, the last one drivin’
wins. If one player gets to far out ahead, no worries!, find a warp, and shaka! you’re on his ass! start
blastin! So OWI does have its redeeming qualities. In the end I know the minute it comes out I’ll go buy
one. And I’m just psycho enough to beat this sucker! - Takahara

When I received Dynamite Headdy for the Game Gear to
review, I was mightily depressed - it’s big brother was so
awesome, and I knew I’d have to compare the two. I ain’t
depressed no more! Headdy’s GG outing is, in several ways,
equal to or better than the 4-times-larger Genesis cart. First
of all, six of the original’s nine stages are included, as are
five of Headdy’s cranium projectiles: The Slammer, Super,
Sleepy, Vacuum and War Heads. The graphics are superb,
and Headdy himself is around 1/4 the size of the screen. To
put that in perspective, Headdy Genesis is 1/8 the size of the

screen! If you’re not familiar with the Headdy concept,
you’re this little puppet guy with a total absence of neck.
Your main weapon is the ability to toss your head in eight
directions, and you can also grab onto higher platforms with
your mouth, then drag your body up to them. Throughout
your adventure you gain other heads, and each performs a
specific function... one makes you faster, one restores life,
one keeps you invincible, etc. If it sounds strange, it IS, but
it’s totally original and great fun. If you’re a fan of the origi¬
nal, or you’re just searching for a good Game Gear action
title, I recommend Headdy. - Nick Rox

THE SWORD OF HAJ\IA

Game Gear fans, rejoice! Sega has decid¬
ed to double the amount of RPG’s on their
portable (if you don’t count Axe Battler)
with Shining Force: The Sword of Hajya.
This 8-Bit version ot SF is based on the
Japanese GG game Shining Force Gaiden II.
That’s right... this is a sequel, and we aren’t
getting the first one. The story to Hajya
SOUNDS like a sequel - the previous Hero,
Prince Nick, lost the use of his arm in a
decisive battle with the fiendish lorn forces
a few years ago, (the first game) and now
they've regrouped and are coming back in
full force. Luckily, a boy with amnesia is lit¬
erally dropped on his doorstep - you - and
after poor Nick is beaten senseless you take
over to lead the Shining Force to victory.
This game is a strategy title - not military
Koei strategy but leading single characters
into small skirmishes. As your troops
increase, the battles become more vast. In
between fights, there’ll always be a town
where you can stock up on supplies and
heal your soldiers. If you’re a straight RPG
Ian this game probably won’t appeal to you,
as there are no dungeons or command-
based fights... just a battle, then a town,
then a battle, etc.

If you’re a fan of the Genesis games, of
course, you’ll love it... and if you’re a Game
Gear owner searching for another RPG after
thrashing Defenders of Oasis innumerable
times, then here it is. Oh, by the way, it you
don’t have a GG you won’t miss this game...
it’s coming to the Sega CD along with the
other GG title we missed, Shining
Force Gaiden I. -Nick Rox

W elcome to the battle to end all 16-bit
football battles; Madden NFL *95 vs.
Sega Sports' NFL ‘95. Actually, this
very well could be the LAST war, on the 16-bit
battleground, between the two perennial
giants. With the pending release of the 32-X
and Saturn, the Madden/Montana (with all
apologies to Sega Sports, this is the way the
player identifies the product) competition of
the future will no doubt be carried out on these
advanced entertainment platforms. As both
games have raised their performance levels to
new standards, I thought it would be appropri¬
ate to use this column to reflect on the history
of these two legends. The original John

really hadn't had as big of an impact as they
had hoped with the release of their first three
titles (Zany Golf, Buddokan and Populous) for
Sega’s fledgling system, and they were looking
for their first certified hit. Sega, on the other
hand, had acquired the rights to use Joe
Montana’s name on their football products
and, as they had limited development resources

M any months ago, the people at Sega Sports were quietly whisper¬

said. It would put you on the playing field and allow you to pass
like never before, they said. It would have player management and simula¬
tion features unlike anything we’d seen in a cartridge game, they said...At
Summer CES, they gave us a sneak peak...an on-the-fly, tilting field that

With NFL ‘95, Sega Sports has come very close to producing the perfect 16-bit football game. The

team statistics, trades, free agents, etc., has a graphic quality and a level of detail that is peerless

the two player game had everyone at Sega ™ e ™ cue °‘ This analysis is not in the graphic quality of the game, which, as you can see, is of

Sega's own product, release dates slipped, and, That, in playing NFL ‘95, this is the most fun I have ever had playing a football video game-and

if legend holds true, the whole project was over an extended period of time. For the purpose of comparing the two games, I have played the first

ended up making it to market a full three
months after Madden. Madden became a mon¬
ster hit that helped legitimize the Genesis in
the consumer’s mind and Montana became a
secondary hit that has left it in the role of
underdog ever since. The sequels have followed
a similar path with each successive release,
with both camps adding more and more long
term play value features into the games; NFL
and NFL PA licenses, full season play, player
management, Sportstalk, etc.. Both EA (later
to become EA Sports) and Sega pulled future
development in-house or established more per¬
manent relationships with key sports software
developers and both titles established the cor¬
nerstones of legitimizing the idea of sports
marketing within the video game industry. The
Madden series has continued to enjoy sales
superiority over Sega’s series, but that gap has
narrowed over the last two seasons-with criti¬
cal acclaim last year going to Sega’s NFL ‘94

M adden NFL ‘95, for the first time, brings the entire NFL
and NFLPA package to the table, with all of the options
Madden players have been asking for over the past few
years. Everything in the game, aside from the basic graphic
engine, has been redesigned for this year’s installment, and the
player animation has received particular attention. The playbook
has been redesigned and expanded and the computer is an even
tougher opponent than last year.

Anyone familiar with the Madden series will really appreciate the improvements that EA
5ports made this year. For me, the combination of making the passing windows option¬
al, thus opening the field to a more realistic, real-time view, and getting the NFLPA
license-allowing for realistic statistical tracking throughout the season, are the keys
to success in the ‘95 game. Although the game has a more generic feel to it than Sega
Sports NFL 95, the unmistakable quality and gameplay of Madden shines through.

The player animation and field scrolling are much improved, although the players look a
little washed out and sort of like they were cut and pasted over the field, and the sense
of 3-dimensional space is very accurate, with the height of the defensive linemen and
secondary being critical to the passing game. The playbook is extensive and has been

redesigned to more accurately reflect an actual NFL style play-
book. One example of this is that there are now an assortment
of screen passes available to the player, in different forma¬
tions. In addition, the statistical tracking is much more com¬
plete than in NFL ‘95 and the League Leaders option offers more meaningful statistics than in Sega
Sports’ title.

On the negative side, the passing game is still a tad unrealistic. I am currently in the ninth week of
the season with the Chiefs (I used K.C. for both games to better analyze the accuracy of the season
simulation), and I am averaging over 400 yds. per game passing with Montana. Don’t get me wrong-
Joe’s the greatest, but history has proven that he’s not THAT good! In addition, you make recep¬
tions in crowds of 2-3 defenders of the type that some receivers might not make over an entire
career-on a regular basis. Also, the use of the NFLPA license could have been implemented in a more
professional fashion. I believe that this is because EA Sports acquired the license late in the game
and didn’t have the time to prepare the attractive package that characterizes Sega’s game.

In summary. Madden fans will not be disappointed with the ‘95 game. It has all of the features
Madden players have been asking for and is truly a superior product. Taking into account the
strength of the NFL game and the improvements in the game’s engine, while also looking at the
game’s offensive imbalances. Madden ‘95 scores in the same range as Walsh 95 and Sega s College
Football.

In terms of how the games rate, head-to-head, it’s as follows...NFL 95 is the most well balanced and
best playing game of football on 16-bit-no question about it. Madden ‘95 is a notch below that, with
a great game that further improves the series and an excellent statistical football simulation. I have
thoroughly enjoyed playing both, but, as I said in the NFL ‘95 review on the preceding pages, I’ve got
to go with Sega’s game. 5e that as it may, it is a GREAT Christmas for football fans, with the two
best football games this side of Madden 3D0...play and ENJOY! - Talko

rated both vertically and horizontally which, among other things,
allowed the designers to make 5IGGER characters. The players
are still proportionate to each other, of course, and to the court
as well. Speaking of the parquet, every home team has their
respective logo at mid court and, before the beginning of each
game, the starting five for each squad runs to half court and is
introduced. NBA Live ‘95 comes prepackaged with the five players
from each team the programmers assume will be the starters for
the upcoming season, and this cannot be changed. You can, of

ljECJ.RONIC ARTS INC.

One minute I love the game, the next minute I find something else I
would change. For instance, I love the fact that the point guard
won’t drive, so he can’t dish. That’s not to say the passing is bad,
this is the first game in which I’ve ever kept pace with the comput¬
er in the assists department. In particular, the “alley-oop” is a
thing of beauty. Your power forward raises his hand, saying
“throw it up there”, and you oblige with a quick tap of the “3” but¬
ton, sending a “5tocktoness” lob perfectly into the hands of the
245 pounder who brings down the house with a thunderous jam.
This scenario, when used with the ‘motion’ offense, occurs regular¬
ly. In my season, Webber leads the league with about five alley-oop
dunks a game! Speaking of Webber, when he shoots the occasional
outside shot, you would anticipate a rebound that the other play¬
ers would be jumping up for. Not so fast Sherlock, because, more
times than not, the rebounds hit the floor like ducks falling out of
the sky. When was the last time you saw players scurrying about
the floor in search of a rebound? The ball should deflect off of the
rim and arch its way skyward. Geesh. At least you don’t have to
worry about rebounding too frequently, what with the 65-30%
shooting percentages that are occurring around the league. Even
the two most exemplary facets of N3A Live ‘95 have their down¬
sides. The animation of the players, particularly when watched on
the instant replay, is nothing short of spectacular. The fluidity of
the player running, planting his feet, springing up into the air, and
them soaring to the hoop is equaled by no other game. On the
other hand, in the same game, you’ll see some lame looking shot
fired from the hip that hits the bottom of the backboard. It’s

kinda like the kid in 5th grade who wasn’t quite strong enough to
get the ball above his waist, and had to “push” it towards the
hoop. Ridiculous. And ugly! The other facet of the game which is
so gratifying is challenging the player who has broken loose for an
apparent easy lay-up or dunk. Here’s the scene-the computer
goes into the slo-mo dunk routine while you come flying in from
the side, the players meet, and you either block the shot or foul
the crud out of him. Believe me, you will watch this on the instant
replay over and over and over. Unfortunately, again, this is way too
seldom of an occurrence. This is the kind of play you would like to
see happen 12-15 times a game!

Well, all being said and done, I like NBA Live ‘95 more than any pre¬
vious basketball title I’ve come across, it’s just that there seems
to be areas to improve upon. There’s a lot to like and a bit to be
smoothed over, but the ground work is set. The round ball series
from EA hasn’t quite reached the level of NHL or FIFA, no small
task indeed, but we certainly look forward to the attempts of get¬
ting there. -Dr. E

el come to another addition of “And the hits keep
coming.” This month, the latest, greatest hit is
FIFA Soccer ‘95 for the Sega Genesis by EA
Sports. If you’ve been keeping up with GameFan Sports
cover the last few months, you have seen and read
numerous reviews of soccer titles-most of which we
were less than impressed with. Fortunately, the gray
cloud of mediocre soccer games has past and the gold¬
en light that shines down has delivered unto us near
football perfection. Hallelujah!

A lot of things can change in a person’s life over the
course of a year of so. You might get married, might
change jobs, drive a different car, gain fifty pounds, all
sorts of things can happen. 9ut, for the most part,
you’re still the same person. Still 6’4”, still eat and
sleep, still hope the Packers will make the playoffs. Well,
you can take this same perspective and apply it to FIFA
‘95. It’s still soccer-but boy has it changed!

Graphically, the new edition of FIFA really stands out
against its predecessor. The field is cut into patches

now, and the grass is a richer, deeper green. The stands
also seem to have been filled with people interested in
wearing your home colors and waving flags of the team
colors. As far as play options are concerned, this is the
one time where it would be more prudent to just direct
you all to your manuals-there’s just a truck load of
choices. I’ll try and hit some of the highlights, though
would you believe there are NINE different leagues to
choose from? You would? OK then, how about each
league consisting of 19-25 different teams? I didn’t
think so. Stop and think here for a moment -that’s well
over 200 different clubs, all with their own lineups and
attributes. It is almost mind numbing! Due to my many
years of watching “Soccer Made in Germany” every
Saturday afternoon, I find myself now playing as
Frankfurt in the German league. What a blast to be able
to compete against teams like Stutgart & Hamburg. If
only my team had Klaus Alloffs, it would be too real!
Anyway, all the other options are, for the most part, of
the standard soccer fare.

Gameplay is not something you want too many options
on, however. You just want it to be a blast. Say no more,
because the total feel and overall gameplay is where I
was most impressed with FIFA ‘95. I had a few minor
annoyances with the original, as far as ball control was
concerned, but any reservations I may have had can now
be put to rest. This game is just about perfect!

Play FIFA ‘95 for just one half and you’ll notice immedi¬
ately how much easier it is to pass (accurately) and
keep your dribble. This isn’t to say that the computer
will let you drive the length of the field, but you will be
able to get through a few opponents before they steal
the ball. What you will also notice is that there aren’t as
many corner kicks as in the original. The goalies just
don’t knock it over the net anymore, they generally hold
onto it or punch the ball to either far side of the net,
thus keeping it in play and allowing the fullbacks to kick
it up to mid-field. This feature alone makes for a much
quicker game. The players are also much more animated,
as they now trap the ball off of their chests, and get
way up in the air to head the ball. You also now have

greater control of the player going up for a header

Here’s a question for you. What impression did most
Americans leave recently completed World Cup with?
Well of course, it was the guy who screamed
“GGGOOOAAALLLL”. Electronic Arts was right on top
of this phenomenon because now, when your team
scores a goal, you can press the “A” button and hear
that guy’s “goal”. The trick part is that the longer you
hold down the button, the longer her carries it out! You
can also press “9” for horns and whistles, and “C” but¬
ton for fireworks! This little accomplishment was a
pleasant surprise, making a terrific game just a little bit
more entertaining.

It’s rare indeed that a game that you thought was near¬
ly flawless can be reworked to be so much more enjoy¬
able. EA 5ports has done it twice in a row; first with
NHL ‘95 and now with FIFA ‘95. Congratulations are in
order to all involved . - Dr. E

E A Sports takes Genesis golf to another level
with their latest installment in the PGA series;

PGA Tour Golf 3. What this game offers more
of is. in a word, “realism”. PGA Tour 3 gives the player
the option of competing against PGA Tour profes¬
sionals AND to play with them! That’s right, in addi¬
tion to being able to play in tournaments and Skin
matches, winning prize money and compiling lofty statistics along the
way, you can compete with (in your foursome) any of 10 digitized PGA
pro’s; including Tom Kite, Fuzzy Zoeller and Craig Stadler.

The 10 pro’s (in addition to your alter ego) have been digitized and look
very realistic as they (you) compete over 3 different courses, including
Sawgrass and Avenel, that host a number of different Tournament
Players’ Championships. The real strength of the PGA series has always
been in the gameplay area. There have been other golf games that have
graphically captured the game better on the Genesis, but none that

tage of the fact that this game is based on EA

Sports’ new PC game, PGA Tour 456, that is set to redefine golfing on the PC
(Links 366 can’t even hold a candle!). Sy squeezing down some of the advanced
graphics and great sound of the PC game, EA Sports has been able to up t he level
of realism on the Genesis. Not that they have created a graphic masterpiece that
is going to make you forget all previous games, but it is a nice improvement over

"Tbit is o great hole to start off your r-
But you'll need on accurate approach i

Gameplay-wise, PGA Tour 3 also offers some nice improvements with more realis¬
tic ball flight, the addition of an arc meter to help you control backspin, and even
more realistic putting. Scores below par are even harder to come by, and the eight
included courses will require that you use overdrive from the tee on some of those
long par 4’s and 5’s, and that you lay-up and use all of your specialty shots
around the green. There’s also good news for all of you hackers out there who had
a hard time making the cut in the previous games. In PGA 3, they don’t cut you
round to round, but wait until the end of the second round before sending you

F IFA International Soccer for 3D0 is, without a doubt, one
of the most breathtaking games I have ever played. The
fact that this game went from the proverbial twinkle in
the eye to a finished product of this caliber in just b months
is even more remarkable. And the folks at EA Sports and
Extended Play Productions are particularly proud of this
one.Jet us showyou why.

What FIFA 3 DO does is, simply put, take the incredible gameplay of the Sega and
Nintendo versions of the game and combine that with 3D visuals that are, at this
point in time, only achievable on Panasonic’s machine. The game allows for the player
to compete as any of 49 different international teams in Exhibition, Tournament,
League and Championship play, saved to PAM, and allows the player to customize
the level of difficulty and realism by giving you the option to turn “offside” and fouls
on or off, control the weather, and by offering different turf conditions. FIFA 3D0
also makes use of two great new features that are making their video game pre¬
miere.

First is the camera system employed by the game. There are .

seven different camera views that can be set by the user, and
each of them offers a unique view of the action-and can

effect how you play the game. This is absolutely the coolest feature-you’ll find yourself tinkering
with it as you make your way through Tournament and League play, and it will keep the game
fresh long after you’ve beaten-back everything the Spaniards, Srit’s or French can throw at you.

Here are a few more shots of the arcade Virtua Fighter 2. Luckily, Sega
has announced that they’re transporting VF2 to the Saturn! If you thought
VF1 on the Saturn looked awesome, imagine how 2 will look after the pro¬
grammers have had a year to “get to know" the system! If you compare
the first MegaDrive games to what's coming out-now, you'll see what I
mean. Just imagine... in a year's time you’ll be playing this at HOME!

Electronics Show ‘94. This
scaled-down top loading 3DO
is missing a few options, like
the headphone jack and the
ability to add on the Video CD
adaptor. Also, the controller is
smaller, designed for children.
Panasonic also announced
several new 3DO peripherals,
like the aforementioned Video
CD adaptor, a 3DO mouse, the
6-button Soldier Pad and Stick,
and a Neo»Geo-like memory
card unit. Panasonic is also
developing a Karaoke Mixer.

On September 9th,

SNK lauched their
long-awaited front¬
loading Neo*Geo CD.

Believe it or not, the
first 25,000 Neo»Geo
CD’s sold out in a sin¬
gle day, and now SNK
is releasing a top¬
loading version of the
system on November
2nd. As a note to
those of you who bought the front-loading model, you
have a hot collelctor’s item - there are only 25,000 of
them in existence! The only difference between the two
systems is that the new, mass-marketed model is top¬
loading, smaller, and the controller is more colorful.
SNK also announced the fact that they will NOT be
licensing any more of their Neo games to home systems
after King of Fighters ‘94. That’s right... to play games
like Fatal Fury 3, Art of Fighting 3 and Samurai
Shodown 2 you’ll need a Neo»Geo CD or a regular Neo!

begin! First of all, the biggest arcade news in Japan is Namco’s 6-screen, 3-D, fully texture-mapped multi-player arcade

shooter Attack of the Zolgear. If you liked Starblade... watch out! Another huge title is Super Saturday Night Slam Masters,

featuring four new characters? and plenty of new moves. Also big news is a game that we probably won’t be seeing here,

of course, many more titles featured that we just didn’t have enough space to show. Some
of the best of ‘em were Gunbird by Psikyo, Sailor Moon S by Banpresto, Capcom’s amazing
new Aliens vs. Predator-style Powered Gear and Sega’s long-awaited Golden Axe sequel.

Taito’s F3 Arcade System

As reported in last month’s
Other Stuff, Taito is releasing a
new modular arcade system, simi¬
lar to the Neo»Geo, into the arcade
and later the home. This system
will be a boon for both arcadego-
ers and operators, as the basic
hardware is included in a one-time
only main board purchase, and
the game cartridges for the sys¬
tem are up to FIVE times cheaper
than the average arcade game.
The best thing about the F3, how¬
ever, is that they perform just as
well! The heart of this system is a
32-Bit CPU, and it features a 16-Bit
processor devoted entirely to
sound. The first four games for
the F3 “Cybercore” are Kaiser
Knuckle, Bubble Symphony,
(Bubble Bobble 4!) Hat Trick Hero
‘95, and the much-anticipated
Darius Gaiden. Each game fea¬
tures incredible effects, like com¬
pletely 3-D backgrounds, amazing
polygon bosses, and superb digi¬
tized sound. Look for the F3 in
American arcades soon!

Welcome to the AM show Neo highlights! The biggest Neo news was Shin»Samurai
Spirits, known in America, of course, as Samurai Shodown 2. This title has four
new Samurai - Cham Cham, Neinhart Sieger, Caffeine Nicotine (I swear), and
Kibagami Genjuro. Cham Cham is a wild chick from Green Hell, Sieger is a knight
with a massive mechanical arm from Germany, Nicotine is a miniature monk from
Japan and Genjuro is Haohmaru’s two-sworded rival. Other big news in Japan is
the Neo»Geo CD Model 2 - for more info, see Special K’s Japan Now!

With the advent of the mass-marketed Neo»CD, lots of major developers are
signing on to program games for SNK’s super system, like SunSoft, Tecmo, and
Data East. Some of the Neo games you’ll be seeing in the arcades soon are pic-

tured below. Unfortunately, most are fighting games, but there are two notable exceptions: SNK’s
Operation Ragnarok (Which will be renamed Zed Blade for US release... why?) and Data East’s
Dunk Dream (To be renamed as well.) Ragnarok is a SHOOTER! Isn’t that just... startling? Yup, it’s
a shooter and it’s 110 Megs, with three different planes and rockin’ special effects, powerups, etc..
etc., thank God! Dream is a B-Ball title in which SF2-style controller motions produce insane
SSF2T-style shadowed dunks. I guess Data East felt they had to stick near the fighting games on
this one! Now to conclude our tour with my favorite genre, RPG’s... - Nick Rox

Stuff, lets get right to it!

Welcome to Other S

f IN SEGA NEWS:

Recently I had a chance to talk to my good friend at Sega. During this con¬
versation he said that “the 32X is definitely not compatible with the Saturn.”
This statement might come as a surprise to many, but the truth is that Sega is
basically abandoning compatibility with the 32X and Saturn. Even though we
reported that Sega was considering an adapter last month, sorry guys - it ain’t
gonna happen. That’s the latest, but as you know, things are never final in this
industry until the last minute. But there is good news! First off, you all remember the Sonic game
coming to the 32X in ‘95, right? Well, I’ve got lots of info on this new Sonic adventure! The name of the cartridge is , and

it’ll be released in the first or second quarter of ‘95. SC features two old characters, Sonic and Tails, plus Sonic’s evil twin, Red Sonic.
The levels in SC are set up like Sonic CD, but much, much larger. I’ve also learned that the gameplay in the new Sonic cart is like Ren &
Stimpy on the Genesis, so you’ll be controlling two or more characters at once, instead of just one. That’s about it on Sonic, but Sega
does have some other cool stuff in the works as far as Saturn is concerned. First off, Saturn will be available in the US this May if there’s
enough software available when the machine is released, and if there isn’t it’ll he released in November or December of ‘95. The price
will be between $300 to $400 dollars, with either Daytona or Virtua Fighter as the pack in. Also, do you remember the

for the Genesis? Now it’s being released for the Saturn for around $200 bucks, and not the Genesis as previously expected. No games
have been announced, though. In other Sega news, a title for the Saturn is being developed that resembles no video game you’ve ever
seen before. The name of this title is I was told that Bugi’s concept was ‘Aladdin’, but in complete and total 3-D. Bug will be shown
first at the Summer CES next year and will be released in the third or fourth quarter of ‘95. Last, but not least, Sonic and Knuckles is also
compatible with Sonic 1 and Sonic Spinball.

PLAY IT LOUD... IT’S NINTENDO TIME.

Before I get into the big “N” I want to tell you guys something that I recently heard from Williams. Inside sources have told me that
Nintendo’s upcoming might not come out in September as previously expected. Instead, Ultra 64 will most likely come out in

either May or June of ‘95. The pack-in will be either Cruis’n USA or Killer Instinct which, when finished, will clock in at under 100-Meg
Plus, when the Ultra-64 comes out it will retail for about $250, then in Christmas of ‘95 the price will drop to an amazing $199. In other
Williams news, has been announced for the Ultra-64. This version of Doom will feature completely new SGI graphics and a com¬
plete new story line. Sources at the Big “N” have told me that Doom on Ultra-64 will be a totally new version ot the Doom series, and not
Doom 1 or 2 as previously expected, but the first two games may be accessible via a special code. Other Ultra-64 games in development
include Batman Forever, X-Men, Slam Masters 2, , Pocahontas (the new Disney movie for 95) Final Fantasy VIII, and a new

version of the Star Wars trilogy. If any of you remember the announcement we made about the VR32 Bit portable for Nintendo, I recently
heard that this new portable will be a , similar to the Sega VR device, with a controller that you hold in your hands. The CPU

(Central Processing Unit) is an NEC-based CPU named the “V800” which runs at 21 MHz. This is the same CPU that was going to appear
in the vaporware SNES CD. The VR32 will strap on your head, and games will be about the size of a GameBoy cart. The VR32 will not be
compatible with the SNES as previously expected. The companies that I know are working on software tor the VR32 are Square, Enix,
Konami, SunSoft, Capcom, and Hudson Soft of Japan. Hudson’s first game will be a 3-D shooter like Super Star Soldier, but all in real time
3-D like Namco’s Cyber Sled. Also, as mentioned in previous issues, the VR32 will be shown at next month’s Japanese Nintendo show,
the Shoshinkai, in November. Nintendo has also informed me that there will be 12 more SGI (ACM) based games for SNES in development
for ‘95 and beyond.

A little late breaking announcement to all you gamers out there... is now going to be released in March of ‘95, and not

April. This information came from JAX himself. He also said “that he will have over 10 different special moves” and to get ready for the
goriest MK ever. I also heard that the 3D0 price will be dropping to an incredible $249.99 bucks in November. The reason for this is that
the t (that’s the 64-Bit 3D0 upgrade) will be coming out next September, and the 3D0 company needs to sell as many units as pos¬
sible to have a large installed user base. 3D0 sources also have said that the new 3D0 hardware will incorporate a new 64-Bit Power-PC
chip. This chip will run at an amazing 80 MHz, and will be capable of displaying up to 240,000 polygons per second with real-time
3D graphics.

SONY!

There’s not much news to report on the Sony PSX right now, as Sony continues there silence here in the States. The latest game info, is
that Cyber-Sled is texture mapped (cool), and is being ported over. Expect the same game with amazing visuals and audio.

My guess is that Sony is waiting to see what Nintendo and Sega are going to do while Sega is waiting to see what Sony and Nintendo are
going to do and so on. It’s like a big stale mate. Who will strike first? Hopefully the Vegas CES will shed some light on the situation. All
the new hardware is a major step forward. Much
more so than 8 to 16-bit was. This stuff is fierce!

I got it all on tape!

NEO GEO, STILL IN THE MIX!

I heard recently that the will be

announced at the upcoming CES (they have a
huge booth!) and that there is an RPG in the
works along with a couple other games exclu¬
sively for the home CD market! Hey, we’ve never
counted the Neo-Geo out. This could vault them
right back in to the fray. They’ve done it in the
arcades, why not the home?

Just keeps yettin’ better doesn’t it! See ya,
next issue!

While we’ve been gasin’ on the awesome EWJ, Shiny
has been behind closed doors planning the next one!
Originally planned for 16-bit, there is now a chance EWJ
will show up on the 32X! Everything that I can cross... is!
EWJ CD is also on the way. The toon is in the works and
Playmates is making the molds. Check out these amaz¬
ing Jims... and dream!

Recently, Sega held their big Sonic & Knuckles extravaganza at... ALCATRAZ! Players from all
' over showed up to see who could collect the most rings in the allotted amount of time and cash
I in on the whopping *25,000 grand prize. MTV’s Daisy Fuentes and some other guy covered the
event which will air on MTV throughout the month of November. Contestants were snatched out
of their homes, flown to an unknown location and transported via a prison bus to the rock where
a ferry (not a flying elf, a boat) carried them to their final destination.

XBand, from up and comer
Catapult, looks to be a revolu¬
tion for game players. This car¬
tridge based on-line service will
allow you to access the latest
video game news, play games,
save records and have a rather
complete cyber-existence!

Dateline: Shadowloo, Southeast Asia, Allied nation’s torces led by Colonel William F. Guile (Jean Claude Van Damme), must rescue
63 relief workers being held hostage by megalomaniac warlord, General M. Bison (Raul Julia) before the General’s 72 hour deadline
runs out. Recently at a cast party at Capcom, ace overseas correspondent, Kei Kuboki dropped in to put the moves on Chun Li (see
above). Kei didn’t come home with the babe, but he did manage to get these photos before she pummeled him.

First of all, it’s great to be back chums. Swanning around in the Greek
sunshine for three months was nice, but hey... I got bored. Well, actually
that was a bit of a fib... I was hard at work digging up loads of stuff for you,
and here it is!

The first thing I want to talk about is Atari. Do you know how many Euro
developers are working on software for the 64-Bit machine? Developers in
the UK include the following: Anco (World Cup Kick Off) Rebellion (AVP,
Hammerhead and Legions of the Undead) Krisalis (Soccer Kid) Gremlin (Zool 2) Bullfrog (Theme Park and Syndicate) Elite (Powerslide) Virgin
(Cannon Fodder and Dragon) Hand Made Games (Club Drive and Kasumi Ninja) Imagitec (Freelancer) Ocean (Er, that Ape Poo game got canned, so
they’re now working on Lobo) ATD (Texture-mapped Battlemorph) Microprose (Gunship 2000) Mirage (Rise of the Robots) Jeff Minter (Defender) and
Tiertex (Flashback). In France, we have Loriciel (Tennis) UBI Soft (Rayman) Microids (Navy Commando and Evidence) and Retour 2048 (Indiana Jags).
In Germany there seems to be just Eclipse (The quite cool Iron Soldier) but, as you can see, nearly all the cool stuff’s coming from the UK!

Wanna know what Jeff Minter is working on? Only a potentially awesome Jag version of Defender! This could be the game of the decade for fans of
the original (and let’s face it, there are bleedin’ millions of them).

Rebellion, the producers of the rather excellent AVP, have two new projects in the pipeline - Hammerhead and Legions of the Undead (see first
screenshots in Europa, Gamefan May ‘94.) Hammerhead is a futuristic, Bladerunner-style adventure game, with texture-mapped graphics. It’s also
destined for the Jag CD-ROM. More news on this soon.

Causing some excitement amongst UK Jaguar owners are the games from Bullfrog, the best development house in the UK, period. Theme Park
may look dull, and terribly PC-like, but it’s actually a brilliantly addictive Sim City-type game. These screens are from the new Mega Drive version,
although to be honest, they don’t look that different on the Jag. Bullfrog is also doing a 3DO version of the unbelievable Magic Carpet, with some of
the best graphics on the machine by a long, long way.

\i\\

\\ THE RIPPEMfew

1 lY

Also coming for the Jag is a conversion of the wickedly addictive Ikari Warriors-style shoot ‘em up Cannon Fodder. The game has just arrived on
the SNES (see screenshots) in the UK, and even without a mouse, it plays really well. The Jag version is being handled by the team behind Puggsy
and Mickey Mania.

One of the most playablel6-Bit games coded in the UK is Micro Machines 2 on the Genesis by Code Masters. The game comes with two joypad
ports sticking out of the cartridge which allows fantastic four player simultaneous games, and even eight player games with two per joypad!

Solstice III (Equinox II!) is on its way to the PlayStation courtesy of the original developers, Software Creations (also
creators of Plok!, Spiderman and X-Men, and Ken Griffey Baseball.) Expect the main character to be constructed from
polygons and the landscape to scroll in a 3-D perspective. It’s enough to make you want to sell you SNES right now!
Well, almost.

More PlayStation treats for the future will be coming from top UK coder Archer Maclean. The stinking rich 3-D pro¬
grammer (most recently he did the excellent polygonal Genesis version of his Pool game... wot, no SVP?) is rumored td
be transferring Super Drop Zone onto the PlayStation... But now in 3-D! Not bad.

Core Design have many secret projects in the pipeline but the Ripper now has their full line-up for the Saturn and 32X.
Here’s Core’s next wave that we’ll be riding soon.

Soul Star 2 - Fractal landscapes with polygon-generated space ships.

BC Racers - A new version of the Mario Kart-inspired racer with far smoother graphics
and polygons.

Thunderhawk - Polygon-based sequel to the game known in the US as Firehawk. (Expect
some shots on this real soon!)

Tee Off - A (yep, you guessed it) polygon-based golf game with SGI-rendered visuals.

'^IfEROnS INv viCTOHY ^

Swagman - A weird character-based game with character graphics that look similar to
Clockwork Knight.

Battlecorps 2: Machinehead - Realtime fractal generated
environments, 24-Bit color.

Fractal Racer: (Looks like Core have some cool fractal
software routines) Polygon generated wad vehicles - a
kind of Daytona meets Off Road Racing.

Tomb Raiders - A real-time 3-D adventure set inside a pyra¬
mid.

And that wraps it up for this month... expect some
superb stuff next month, Euro fans! Until then, cheers
chaps! Er, and buy British.

Dear Postmeister,

There is talk up here that California
could end up at the bottom of the
ocean. Is this true? There is also talk
up here that AVP is finished. Is this
true as well? I can’t wait to get my
hands on it. I hope it’s as good as
you guys say it is because I’m ready
to give up beer and bacon and
become a monk.

By the way - the photos on Jaguar
games in your mag are excellent.
What is that game called “ZZYORXX”
you showed in your September
issue?

P.S. Is the Jaguar ready to take off or

r what? It’s getting cold up here, and I
need some new games to heat things
up a bit.

Big-Foot

Dear Big-Foot,

If California does sink, we can all
go live on Halverson’s yacht and I
can do that Jellyfish research I’ve
been putting off. There is talk down
here that Canada may be overrun by
mediocre comics and HBO comedy
specials. AVP is out, my friend, and
let me tell you... any reviewer who did
not like the game, didn’t (or cannot)
get deep enough into it. It’s great!
The queen is the coolest. As far as
giving up beer and bacon, well,
bacon is loaded with thick white fat
that may turn you into a sweaty
mass, but a little beer never hurt any-

r one, eh? Just don’t drink and sled.
As for the Jag taking off, well, the last
few games we reviewed needed
major help. While the 3DO has SF2
and may drop to $249, and the 32X
has sooo many good games on the
way, like Sonic Chaotic and
Castlevania X, and it costs even less.
Atari’s lead time is dwindling. They
best turn up the heat quick! P.S. Do
“ifc. your feet really look like the ones in
the pictures? If they do have Nanook
lick 'em/

Dear Postmeister,

I’d like to start off by saying what a
great magazine you make. I’ve spent
a lot of money buying other maga¬
zines off the newsstand, but in the
end I noticed you’re the only mag
worth buying, and that’s why I sub¬
scribed. I have a question for you
guys... What’s happened to the Sega
CD? I can only think of three games I
regard as “true CD’s.” These are
Lunar, my favorite RPG of all time,
AH-3 Thunderhawk, which is the
closest thing to a professional flight
simulator I’ve ever seen, and
Silpheed, the shooter of all shooters.
Now I’m using my SCD to level the
coffee table! Is there any hope for
this system? Are they gonna contin¬
ue making us play FMV trash? Is
there at least one more game for the
Sega CD that’ll make me hold onto it
until the 32X comes along?

Truly yours,

Victor Labrada
Miami, FL

Dear Victor,

Never fear, my friend, Sega knows
of your concern and is on the case.
The only problem is they really like
this FMV garbage. They actually think
it’s cool. They have a whole division
for it! Up for a little midnight raid any¬
one? Meanwhile, Soulstar is ready to
fly and BC racers (see page 68) is
next in line! Core’s a wonderful
bunch of fog dwellers, aren’t they!

You know Vic, for a mere $170,
plus the price of the games, you can
plug a powerful little 32X into your
CD and play a whole new batch of
games that are in development right
now! Also, check out Bouncers (pg.
58), Keio Flying Squadron (pg.50),
Popful Mail (pg.41), and the almighty
Snatcher!! (pgs. 46-47). More good
news pal!! Lunar 2 is coming out next
year! If you can believe it, it’s even
better than the original... much better.
You should be happy man, like this
next guy!

Dear Postmeister,

First off, I have to say that
GameFan has changed the industry
for the better. Finally, a magazine has
emerged to blow holes in the compe¬
tition. Mr. Halverson, thank you for
having the vision and the desire to
bring GameFan to life. Now, may I
say... UNFREAKIN’ BELIEVABLE!
When I was first introduced to the FM
Towns Marty, it was by way of
Scavenger 4. I went nuts - it was the
most incredible game I’d ever seen. I
never did buy a Marty, however,
because of its outrageous price
(upwards of $1000.) I did buy a 3DO
though and have been enjoying Road
Rash immensely. “Got Milk?” asks
the commercial, referring to the guy
who thinks he’s died and gone to
heaven. No, I don’t... but I did die, and
I am in heaven, because out of the
blue Novastorm, SCAVENGER 4
appears for the 3DO! Without warn¬
ing the most awesome shooter I’ve
ever seen is now in my possession! I
cannot believe it! The cinemas and
gameplay are out of this world! I’ve
been playing it non-stop! When I
want to show someone what the 3DO
is capable of, I just pop in Scavenger
4. I also own a Jaguar, and like so
many, I’ve been wondering trade in or
trade up to something better. Well, I
didn’t, and it’s a good thing. AVP
ROCKS!!! I’ve been waiting for a Jag
game to come along that’s worthy of
my playing time and it has. I was
somewhat hesitant at first from early
screenshots, but I ain’t now. Aliens is
my favorite movie and AVP does both
it and the Predator justice. Finally.
Keep up the great work. I envy all of
you at GameFan. Oh, to be able to
play videogames for a living!

P.S... King of Fighters ‘94 jams. It’s
great to own a Neo. I can’t wait for
Samurai II. Also, I really enjoy this
section of the mag. You answer the
questions personally and truthfully...

“cuz’ we’re good enough, smart
enough and doggonit, you like us.”

Derrick Riggs
Altadena, CA

Dear Derrick,

You’re so happy! You also have
great taste in games. Scavenger 4 is
a visual wonder, AVP is sooo deep,
and KOF 94 is awesome. Wait until
you play Samurai 2... it’s the best! I’m
glad you’re having fun. That, my
friend, is what it’s all about. Wanna
come raid Sega’s FMV lab with us?

Dear Postmeister,

Let’s take a nice little look at the
two videogame markets, Japan’s and
America’s. First, the Land of the
Rising Sun. This videogame market
is practically heaven. What players
want, the videogame developers give
them - a flawless relationship.
Especially RPG’s, good ones and I
mean damn good ones that give you
a real playing experience, like the
whole Final Fantasy series,
Romancing Sa*Ga I & II, Fire Emblem
and so many others I could fill pages
with. Almost all, of course, we will
never see.

America, the videogame market
from hell. What players want, we sure
don’t get. When are “developers”
going to wake up and smell the
MANURE they’ve been giving us?
“Our painstakingly researched demo¬
graphics show that there is no need
for RPG’s in America” is the most
popular reply. Gee, which game do
you think’ll sell more copies in
America? Final Fantasy III or Fievel
Goes West? Fire Emblem or Chester
Cheetah? Dragon Warrior V or
Yoshi’s Safari? Common sense,
please.

Face it, game developers don’t
know what we want, and I’m just one
of the many who need a change.
Game developers, the toilet’s about
to overflow, don’t you think it’s about
time to flush it?!

I hope to see Mother 2: Gyiyg’s
Counterattack from Nintendo since
they chickened out on part 1, and,
although I’ve seen little, I hope
Square’ll translate Chrono Trigger, as
it looks to be a masterpiece. I heard
FFV is coming here as FF Extreme, is
this true? Is DQVI coming here as
Dragon Warrior V?

A very concerned and
disappointed RPG fan,

Ben Elliott
Springfield, MO
Dear Ben,

0 *.

You are so right! Reprint 1,000
copies of that letter and send it
everywhere! I too am sick of all this
licensed crud. Had enough X-Men
yet? How about lame blood-leaking
MK clones that do nothing but pollute
kid’s minds? Have they cashed in
enough on that one yet? They HATE
those games in Japan, where there is
NO CRIME! Where is Konami’s
Madara? Where is the real sound¬
track to Sonic CD? Here’s some more
good news: Sony isn’t bringing out
FI ink because it’s not a big enough
license (it just blows away any game
they’ve ever had). What genius made
that decision? And Spectrum
Holobyte is skeptical about Tinhead.
There goes two of the year’s best
platformers. Why? No license.

Fact is, most of these BIG LICENS¬
ES are nothing more than a company
cashing in on a name. What hap¬
pened to ORIGINALITY? Earth Worm
Jim is game of the year... do you see
a license hanging on it? So little
Billy’s mom won’t buy it when she
purchases his one game a year at K-
Mart, big freakin’ deal! Let her buy
Potato Chip Man™ and make the kid
miserable. We want our RPG’s!

You see, Ben, role playing games
evoke emotion, they make you happy
and sad. They teach friendship,
honor, bravery, and trust. They’re
about preserving good and conquer¬
ing evil, and heck... they might even
teach a kid some values. But that’s
not good enough for our sell-out
mentality in America. It’s easier to
throw a couple digitized characters
up on the screen and let them dis¬
member each other, and then sit back
and watch the O.J. trial. Or, better
yet, spend all your money on a name
and throw out some cheapy game
that you know will ‘Teach its target
audience.” It’s enough to make you
sick. How about this FMV junk,
what’s that?

There are a few companies out
there with us in mind, like Konami,
Shiny, Square, Enix, Capcom (except
for X-Men), Working Designs (thank
you so much, Victor), Atlus (they
nabbed Ragnacenty!), Core,
Interplay, Scavenger, Takara, JVC,
and a few others I can’t think of right
now, but it is obviously not enough.
How many good RPG’s did you play
this year?

Before I forget, here’s the answers
to your questions: Mother 2, don’t
hold your breath (can you say
never?), DQVI, most likely, FFV, yes
indeed, and Chrono Trigger, I sure
hope so! It looks amazing! I like you

$§F

Ben, wanna come to the FMV raid?

My advice to all of you is to buy
wisely, and make your opinions
known. Write letters, make phone
calls, and be careful when it comes to
reviews! A lot of reviewers don’t play
games all the way through, some
can’t. I read recently where a review¬
er actually gave EWJ a bad review!
He said the samples were unclear
and the music wasn’t good. This is a
person with no clue! He probably
goes home and plays ColecoVision.
The people that buy that nonsense
will be robbed of a great game. It’s
tuneage of the year and the samples
are PERFECT!

I’ve seen high scores for Bubsy 2,
and low scores for AVP, Tve seen
low ratings for Boogerman, one of
the coolest and most original charac¬
ters in recent memory. These back¬
wards reviews are read by the people
who make key decisions, so they are
a big part of the problem. At first, I
thought A VP was junk too. But after a
few hours, I realized what it was all
about and loved it.The only way to
review a game correctly is to not care
who made it and just play it all the
way through, and that is what we do.
This is an unconventional magazine.
We report to a guy who sits in his
office six days a week at least 12
hours a day playing video games.
There isn’t a suit in the place ... he’s
the owner! We are here to make a dif¬
ference. Do you think any other mag
would let me write this letter? Not a
chance. I’ll see you all next month.

Hey, Welcome to the wall. It’s just waiting to be splattered with your art. That’s right kids, no longer are you restricted

to just plain old envelopes to use as your canvas. If you’re more comfortable drawing on paper or cardboard or rice
