The men given the job of
creating this masterpiece pf

be a number of cKangee

The obvious innovaliori is
that Archer has added an extra

to spice up the action. Thle
means that you can gel

you discover there are some
new rrtoves which you cen

bsckflip, an almost acrobatic
n^ovement which allows; you to
zip out of trouble.

The other is more difficult to
d^nbe. imagine your player is
trapped Ijeiween the other
Rghters. It's possible to get him
to face out of the screen and

Excu«a me while I abori this

Can I have another game to play
now please? And before you
ask, iti^thatdulM

Alpha Mission isn't quite a
flight simulation, not quite a
thoot-enn-up, (n f$<rt rt fall$
uncomfortably between the
two. It reminda rne of that other
Activision game based on the
Space Shutlte — if you can
refnember that far back.

The game puts you in charge
of a n X- 1 5 »peoe-jel . Yoor
mission is to terminate a
terrortsl controlled space
atation using remote controlled
robots.

Load u p t he g a me a nd you
vee a host of let -style
instruFnant9lion surrounding a
relatively sn^all real-rime front

view from (ha X- IS.

Then vou have (o take off —
which isn't as easy as it sounds,
youseee^mell boK with two
white bars in the centre of the
game window. You have to
match the computer controlled
bar at the top of the bon with
your joystiick conirolied bar al
the bottom of the bojc.

If you don'i thfi mission
lerminates then and there in a
big si^li and crash. Boring after
the first few times AND you
have to go through it alt over
again if you blow out later jn the
game.

An unecesBary edition to this
already fairly complicated
geme. You must remain

a irboffie through the next three
levels of the mission in order to
reach The space station.
The joystick handle corttrols

Kour Bim as well as your
eedingarHJ altitude.

During combat, use the
joystick to aim your missiles but
be alert — move directly to the
edges of the window and you
wilTalter your course as
dtaplayed on the N.T.C, Grid.

With the crosshair at the edge
of the window, gain altitude by
rnovir»g the joystick end lower
Altitude by pulling tuck.

There are thi-ee ionesyou
mu«t pass through. Once
boosters are engaged at each
atmioepherk boundary, you

one can press the fire button!

The best pa ri of the game is,
of course, the graphics. Each
picture has beeri digitised, and
using the Amiga's 32 colour
low^res screen mode, the
pictures took stunning.

The sound is of eMceptionaT
iiuality, and il comes m the form
of two tunes, the title tune being
the best.

Any moans? Well, |ust two.
The girls seem io be far io easy
to beet and I. 9 mere novice

nnoen it the fact that there
didn't seem to be an "Over tB's

wish there wasorve.

right, US (Jotd has released me
long iwaiied computer
conyQfsion of the arcade
classic, fndtsn^ Jones and the
Temple t>f Doom

I'm sure many ol you have
^Iresdy played the arcade
original, i know 1 certainly have,
whitafflbgame'

Atari seem |i> be outdoing
themseMs lately, especially
with such hits as Gauntlet,
Suf>&fstfnfii dnd tndi-^na Jones,

{ndiana Jones is one of those
gani«$ where the nattie of th?
game is skill, and plertty of it.
You airrt is to succes^fuMy
retrieve the sacred Sank,ara
Stones from ttie temple of the
evLlgod. Kah

They are guarded by the high
pftest Mole Kgm and his evil
thugose henchman. There are
Ih ree SI nes t o co I lect. each of
1hes« stones is siiyaied m the
temple To gel to tho stones you
must first pass through three
stages, or scenes.

All three have various
hazards anti dangers which
must be overcorrie. The only
way Id a void these, is by using
Indy's trusty whip.

You bcgm with five Uvea and
the gfirn a c nd s wh en a il f i,ve
lives are lost it ts incredibty
easy to lose all five of your lives,
as you will discover Each time
yqut lo^ 3 life, a message
appears al the bottom of the

quest. Equipped with your vvhip
you must protect yotarself from
snakes, bats and constant
attacks from the thuggee
guards

The snakfls and bats can be
destroyed with just one Crack of
the whip. You can also use your
wh I p 1 swi ng ac ross chasm s
between the pathways The
guards, on the other hand^ hijve
to be th rown off the ledges ,

There are nine enslaved kids
locked up in cages. Rescue
them for bonuis potnis. You are
also attacked by Mola Ram
hi^msetf. who magically appears
on the screen and throws
fireball aiyoo.

To escape this stago. you
mijsl find the entrance to the
railway tunned Ent^r il and you
Will goon to the next scene.
• Scene Two: Mine-Can Chssd.
Thi^ is the fun pari. You ara now
sitting in a rail -cart, speeding
down a series of railway tracks
which are linked by several
lunclions.

You can go Fast or slow,
depending on whether you
move your joystick up or down.
As you proceed down the linee^
olher carts — full ol thuggee
guards — apprOiCh both f rorn
^n front and behind, intent on
Stopping you dead in your
traciis. you m^ght say' If they
catch you up. your eon wl^ll be
overturned.

Vou Will also come across
oncoming guards who are
wailing for you alongside the
tracks Whip them lor extra

Vou rnust manoeuvre
you rsoH very carefully to
Successfully retrieve ihe stone
from the top of the statue.

One false move and you'll fall
into the molten lava ~~ w^^t a
way to go' Once you do have il,
two doors will open on either
Side of the .5taiue. These are the
exits In the next level, and the
neKl Sankara Stone.

All three scones are repealed
over and over until every
Sanhjira el one has been
coHeiiled.

Paragon hasproducMJ quitfj
an accurate and splendid
conversion, especially on the
Atari ST version The graphics
are wall drawn and are a good
reproduction ot the original

PEayability is great. Control of
your character is smooth and
easy, which i's what I like best

atwut this game. I Ihmk that the
sound could have been a lot
better, though

A lot of the sound effects
were not all that descriptive.
There's one or two snags that
I'd like Id point out

Firstly, each level — which is
made up of three scenes — has
to bo loaded m separately, and
when you l0$e alt of your lives
the first level has to be
reloaded.

If you purchase the game on
tape, you will find this both
tedious and tiresorrie

Secondly. ii will take VQu
quite a lot of practice' to

it iscxlrem4?ly hard. Wnethfit

Ask anyone, who has been

playing computer games for a
few years, lo nan^e their top ten
tities, and the name
Buuidisrdash will appear with
monotonous regularity So it's
not surprising that this most
adcjictive of arcade classics has
been re-mcarnatod a number of
times under various different
names. The latest of these is
Sliiflldiggery from f^eKus,

The gann.e, for anyone who
really hasn't seen or played the
original, put; you in a number
of caverns ( 1 00 in all}, each lull
of diamonds ripe for the
picking. But, not unexpectedly,
ihrngs aren't quite as simple as
ihey sound, because the
caverrvs are also lull of bais,

crazy ghqsia and creeping
vines

As a bouncy cave mrte, your
staple di^t consists, quite
naturally, of diamoncfs,
preferably in eirtremely large
quantities. To get youf fill, yOu
must burrow your way through
the caverns, avoiding anything
that moves, and most things
that don't. Any bats or ghosts
that you accidentally set free
will chase you along the tunneU
you leave — don't hang around

Adnough some companies (ikse
Rainbird already do it, it i^good
to see others hke Mexus
producing dual format ST
games, and hopeful others wiM
follow suite. After all, just
because someone bought an ST
primarily for word processing l!
doesn't mean they should be

stijrvcd of fun too — look how

converted for the Amstrad
PCW

Another welcome additional
feature tn Skuilriiggerv *&^i^s
two player option, which allows
to players to concurrently
indulge in either co-operative,
or competitive play

As in all, the game is
proficiently produ^ced. but lacks
theejtcaement and add<ctive
qualities of the ori>ginal, which
IS available on the ST already,
'rt'alch out for BautfiardiYsh on

This is simply brilliant, A te«n<
schlock horror movie on

the graphic adventure format
first seen in LohyrinJh. tweaked
It a bit and come up with an
eMiremely em (^naming and
easy to play adventure.

f^ot an adventure for purtsls
though, that's why we're
reviewing it outside the regular
adweniure siscljon, For a start il
doesn't require any text input
from the player — just simple
icon selected actions Vou
simply select actions from a text
menu at the tiottorrt of the
screen.

But enough of this technical
stuff — on with the senario
which comes right out of a
Hollywood Bmovie There's a
weird mansion, a mad scientist,
^idiinge fnonsters and a. bunch
of clean-cijt, alt-American high
school kid$.

There are strange people
living m Meniac Manston a Dr
Fred, a mad seiantist.; IVurse
Edna, a former health care
profess ion all whose hobbies
would make a sailor blush;
Weird Ed, a teortag'e commando
with a hammer fetish , and then
there's Dead Cousin Ted, and
the Teniacte, snd somebody —

what's a sweet young
cheerleader na>m:ed Sandy

will Ete drtf erent depending on
which kids you choose and how
VOu I nteract with the peopte and
things inside the mansion iisd-tf.

Each 1 the possible stones in
Matiiac Mansion is really a
large, co^^mpIeK puzzle made up
of SeOr«!i of Smaller pufiles
From time totm^e- movie-like
"outscones" reveal dues about
th-i^ story ftnd what's going on
elsewhere.

As you discover the smaller
puf fles that mak« up each story
line, you'll find thot most will
have to be solved m a ceri:ain
order.

Vou select your team at the
Stan of the game using the
cursor. A$ you move It Over
their happy smiling faces a few
word^^boul them appear at the
lop of the screen. Once you've
got your team together a tittle
introduction 'scene' is acted
out on screen before you get
the chance la lake conirol-

And you take control by using
the cursorto create commands
from the text menu &i the
bottom of ihe screen. But let's
take a look et wfiat you see on
screen.

• Th« Message Lin* is the I me
St iho very top of the screen,
Words spoken by any of the
characters appear on this line.

• The Animation Window is
the largest part of ihe:iicreen
where the animated world of
the mansion is di$.plaved. It
shows the "camera's eye view"
of the room that the currently
active character i^sin

9 TheSerftence Line n directly

below the verbs. Each character
on your team has hlsor her own
inventory ]l is empty al the
begi^nning o'the game: the
name of an object is added to a
character's inventory when the
character picks the object up
during game play.

Putting the commands
together IS simplicity itself.
Mone of this "You Can't Do
Ttiat" business.. Just mqvo the
Cursor on to the command you
want in the menu and hii the
loystick firebuiion.

As you explore you'll come
across objects which your
characters can collect. These
are added 10 the text menu as
an rnventorv- You'll need all
sortsof odd things?

You can select obfects by
placiinp the cursor over them in
The animation/ play area
wiftdow or from the test menu.

Using the Mash tight simply
shows up a small area of the
room you're i,n — a really nice
touch this.

There's lots to rto and the
game IS different every ttme
you pisy — yOu can depend on
the lasiability of this one

A FUN adventure with
original feel Great graphics,
good sound effects. nJce
animation and on top of all thai
it's totally addictive*

So <f yotJ want to get into
love, lust, purple slime, medical
eKperiments, electric cattle
prods and radiahon suits, pick
up a copy of Maniac M&nsion —
VOU won't regret it.

AVERSION TESTED
t' REVIEWER DAVID

To date, Movagen have only
released two games, Encounfer
m 1984 and Msfcensty m
Nov&rnber 19S5, In Jufy 1986.
The $econd Ctt^ was released,
giving Mercenary addicts
another citv to ei<plor!i.

Such was the succ-ess Of
iWercenafy and SacondCity.
that there are now 56 foreign
language or machine versions
of tho two original products.

It comes a^ no surprise to
learn that Mercenary */■ <s on the
way. Known as Dampc/es, i1 is
set in an imagmary solar
system with nine planets and n
moons, the game features filled
and stuided graphics showmg
the light and dark sides of each
ptanet.

This spsce arena provides the
backdrop to a scenario in which
vourtask is to avQrt Ihecomet
Dannocles from collision with
the system's fifth planet.

OamocieA i$ being

progfamitied on ihe Atan ST
and shoutd be available early m
the New Year.
Luckily for us, Novagon's

wizard programmer, Paul
Woakes, has found time to
produice Bsckl^sh, a f uH-
blooded, na-nonsense blaster.

Obviously inspired by his
earlii^r gam en £ncDunler,
Woakes has decided to forsake
the complex strategy of
JWfl/cenaj>y, to concentrate on
movmg a$ many solid obfects in
free space, as the ST will allow,
purijly and simply so you can
have the pleasure of blasting
them off the screen.

For once, a company has
hadtheguts to pubiish a game
with no pretentious scenario on
the cover. Instead, (his is
printed;

• Bdckiash is a fast-aciion
arcade game

• Objective rs high score

• Radar Sights head up display
shows enemy locaii:On$

% Action is continuous with
increasing difficulty

• Five lives to start. Extra life
awarded every ID.OOO points.

And that pretty well surris up
the game, except to say that ii is
one of The fatcst. most playable
arcade games EVER I

Set on a flat grey plain, over
which you can nwve in any
direction, Sackiash puts you at
the controls of whatever vehicle
you care to imagine All you can
do, in said vehicle, ts move in
any direction over the plane,
and shoot strarght ahead of
you.

with Bl All Uiis b in jil^ of announcing C VG'i awesdntely
OJCclualM arc«d« competition. Vup, jrou could ti« tl^e lucky
wdiMT 0f i extra special Namco Bosconian arcade
mMliifl«» ai used by the programmers of Mastertronic'a
neiMest c<kln-op conversion.

Imaij^ne it. Vctur very own coin -up, happily humming to
[t$elf in your bettrvom, ^ust waiting for yptj to take the
controls and save the woHd from liltkms of trigger' happy
aliens.

Boficonian Juit happens to be one of (he Ed's favoutfle
arcade machine! so you're really lucky we've managed to
persuade him to give it away. Still, he's b««fi k^ked away in
a dahtened room until the winner has hetn chosen — givii^
you time to get your entries in*

What we want you to do is read tt^e SbsconJM fMM
scenario and then come up wtth an Illustration of a scene
from the game. You can draw a space battle, an alien or
even the Bosconian Slarfighter itseH. Your imagination ts
tiK onty restrictiofl.

The best picture will get the arcade machine. Then SO
rannen-up will get a copy of Masteftronle's Bosconian
conversion.

Your picture can be any size and drawn using anyttring
you like — pencils, crayons, water-t^ours, Dulux emulsion
— you choose!

Just make sure the coupon 1$ fhred flrmly to your entry so
we can't misplace your name and address. You know it
makes ttnie.

THE SCENARIO

The time had cofne at last. The
domtnatiori of the Orbftais had to end,
and this was the only chance.
It was time for mankind to regain their

place as the aliens had destroyed the old
order in the disastrous *'Rock War'* — when
mey hatl rained meteoric destruction dawn
<>tt Earth from their orbiting Spacestatiortft —
had put aside their differences for one final
effort to regain their independence-

They had built a space* worthy Starfig^ter
and equipped it with the best technology
that they could acquire. Of course the aliens
wfthheld their most sophisticated devicesT
that was How they kept the world enslaved.
However, due to the secret nature of the
lirojectf only one such craft could tie fouitt.

The aliens must not be allowed to let their
dreaded missiles loose again.

Your mission is to fty the only space craft
available to destroy the orbital
Spacestations. This is the last chance for the
people of Earth, for their orbiting masters
wHI never again allow them even this slim

chance to regain their
freedom. You must
not fall!

Be careful,
space is full of
debris and
mines. The aliens
have plenty of
fighter craft,
and they are
faster then
yours! Only a
true hero can
save the
Earth!

DEAS
CENTRAL

Well, here I am agatn. Two weeks lying around the
pool sipping Harvey Wallbangers comes to an end
far too quickly for my liking. Something else that
doesn't last too long is the oSd tan — with the rain
and cold it didn't stand a chance. Never mind only
another 50 weeks to go til next year's summer
hol&! By the way, what happened to the postcards
from all those exotic places you all spent your hois
In?

Back to business and thanks for all the hints arid
tips that arrived In my absence.

ROAD RUNNERI

Here are some Road Runnef
lips from Trevor Fox

Level 1 — when a van
passes, quick fy run rn line with
il and Ihe Coyote, il h« is a tair
distance behind you. he ll get
run over On all levels if you
run too last and Coyote
disappears off the screen,

men you're in big trouble as
he will reap)>ear on 3 rocket
skateboard So, try to keep
him on the screen at all limes
Level 2 — the rcx:kei pari is
easy il you jusi remember thai
when he appears on screen
on the rockei he always
appears a level lower than you

are. so don t nnove down a
level il he IS on screen The
pogO'Slick pad )s easy, jusI
keep moving.

Level 3 — the maze is hard
but you IS soon learn the
correct rouie. To get past the
cannon bal^S put your joystick
on autolire as M 1$ hard to time
the jumps nght.

Level 4 — dodge ihe brown
lumps (What are they'''') as
I hey slow yog down, Run for
your life when he gets ihe
gyrocopter. Jumping the
crevasses is easy

The gyrocopter is Ihe
hardest pan of the game, as
Coyote nearly aiwayrs geis
you If before you get 10 ihe
gyrocopier stage you run so
fast Coyote disappears off the
screen, he reappears on the
rocket skateboard antj shoots

right past the gyrocopter and
;k>esn I use It All the levels
after Ihis are just the first four
repealed with mmes, invisitiie
paint, etc
This is whal I like — continuity

— first you gel the hi n is and
ihen you get the first three
levels mapped by Paul
Monger of Middlesex Neat,
eh^

Paul gtves you another hmi

— before loading the separate
levels on the cassette version
reset the tape counter Then
takedown ihe numtier ai
wh>ch each level starts So.
when you lake the short cut to
a later level, just forward the
tape to the start of thai level
and press play 10 load ii

SLAPFIGHTHH

Kenneih Henry appeals yet
again In I C and thisrnonth
Stapftgtit gels the treafmenl.

First thing tO do is to make
the first three siarT stars
speed Yon the have to get
every star uniii you get some
homing miissiles. You can only
afford to miss one before ihe
green grass and ston« roads
landscape disappears

N:ow Ihst the grey/red lop
haL aliens have disappeared
for a while, to be replaced by
octagonal aliens oi the same
cofour, you will be attacked
fTtwn nearly all sides. Before
the attack you should have
Obtained a wmg extension to
speed up the homing missies.

Once you've meinorised the
enemies whteh give out stars
during this parljcular attack,
It 5 best to stay near the
bottom lor the aliens that give
stars along the bottom roads

Once through this you wilt
gel to a dark backdrop with the
Same aliens on the attach.
After getting nd of this
we looming party the first grey

molhership wiff come into
view, firing bombs. With ine
wings esttension it should only
take 20 shots lotJeslroy si

Next comes another
metallic backdrop with plenty
of gun emplacements When
you gel pas! the lirsl pair of
bases, stay halfway op the
screen on the nght hand side
until the alien thai appears
there is killed. Then you can
resume your central position
in Ihe lower half of the screen
Mow, with the stars you have
collected you have a choice to
make as you go into Ihe next
section. You can use the stars
collected to obtain a limited
shield ffom bullets and do your
be si to defend yourself with
homing missiles, or. use the
stars you have to gel back
normal bullets and have an
overall better chance ol
fighting, but with no shield.

The next sheet consists of a
network of tracks. These are
connected by a grey square
as they intersect Grey aliens
run up and along the tracks
and when over a grey square
they will shoot SIX bullets. The
aliens can however be shot
over red stretches ir^ the blue
network as well as while over
the holes but olherwise are
invulnerable, ll'sdilftcullto
say which option is best, as
you haue a better chance to
kill aliens with bullets, but wft h
homing missiles you can stay
alongside the aliens on the

X-line and dodge the bom^bs
without necessarily having to
fight the ship from below,
where you stand a good
Chance of getting shot

Once you are out of the
red 'blue zone you will find a
backdrop the same as the one
before the tracks Recollect
homing missiles if you choose
(he second choice and then
Stan collecting stars for a
shield again By now you
should be at a city type
landscape with a new type of
enemy — tjiue'grey circles
which need two shots to be
killed These aliens are
prominent from now on — so
watch out, But wtfh the homing
missiles they are no trouble.
When you re through the city
backdrop it s out into open
ground

Here the second mother
ship will attack in the same
way as the first That means
the strategy is basically the
same The third molhership
looks like a giant mseci and
makes three passes at you It
doesn't fire bullets, so moving
down diagonally with it and
holding down the fire button
kiHs them every time They
leave a star when destroyed
The stars should go sowards
another shield The next
aliens cause some trouble —
grey and yellow circular craff
that shoot bullets in all
directions Keep out of their
way and get ttie stars aher

Ihey have been killed.
The next screen will
definitely cause hassles. The
background consists of a
networK of diagonal lines and
arwther type of blue/grey ship
travels down Ihe line, firing as
they go Keep m the lower
nghl half of the screen firing all
the time and also give yourself
room to dcdge Once through
this it's back to open ground,
where there are rolling silver
tanks that travel downscreen
in altenvate sets of three and
two The way to beat these is
easy — just stay at the bottom
of the screen directly between
the left and centre tank for
sets of two tanks, and for seis
Of two, jusf dart to centre.
Take out the two grey
bombers at the end of this and
it s back to the railway again.

W3th a stationary bomber at
the end.

Once through the second
railway landscape ihe musiC
will restart and you will be
travelling mioa new tnduslnat
looking ian<:jscape Collect a
second wing extension and
from now on, just collect
shields The landscape itself is
surrounded by a blue square
aroijnd the emplacemenis.
Most of the time the blue grey
circle aliens use these to
travel along There is a new
haiarc* — emplacements —
they fire bullets across the
lower half of the Screen m live

"Twenty one yeani>and still

'I'his is the quotation from
the hack of Sladc'^i new album
and if Ihey helieve it then they
muM be going senilclt

Compared to some of the
albums I've reviewed in the
past, this album is about as
loud m a pin dropping al a
Molorhead concert.

To give them credil SSade
have tried to dig themselves
out from their rut, bul
listening to the album you
vtouki think that they have
only done so half heartedly.
The first track Love h a Rock.
had me sitting up and paying
altcntioTi. 1 1 is a loud,
booming number with an
unusuilty different from
SAidSr's normal ^tyle.
However, from herc-on-in
things slide down hill rapidly.

Tracks Jikc foots go Crazy
and She's Heavy slip quickly
into the Shde tradition^il
mould and when you listen to
ihe other side they are firmly
back in the niche. Tracks like
Ooh I, a Im Iri L.A. and .\h'
And Thf Hoys do nothing to
grab your attention.

The album n\n> iiiuffer!* from
over prfKfud ion, .S'Wru^e
three differeni prifducers.
including their own Jim Lea,
to give the iilbnm iome
variation. However, the only
thing that they M get right i^
Don Powell's deep, wall
shaking drum sound. For my
tastes Dave HilTs guitar and
Noddv Holder's viKa is just
aren't loud enough to do the
album justice.

In [he M;iv etiithtn of C + VG

Stryper, v-Uu were *i htavcy

constimily stuffed (heir

Well Stryperhive now met
iheJT match in BattHiry
because what Siryper does for
Jesus, Bathory doeii for the
Devil, You we Buthory are
■kartdmavian siataniiits from
Swfilcrt vt'hu are thought by
miiny to be the wot Id s
premier Death Meial hand.
The "baiid" on this album
(if you cat) if that) consist % of
out m**n. named Quorthon.
who pUiys all the instruments
on the album because he
couldn't find anyone who
could play fassl enough and
who liKfked crazy enough to fit
m with his weird ideas,

E W' niu«iic itM.*lf if prime
thr:ish metal and Ouorlhon
shows that he is ihe mailer of
the many infitrumenis he
pkiys. Tortured screaming
guitar M.1I0S, pKissessed
demented drumming and
bedevilled ha^^abt>und. Aho
Ouorthtm has a voice that
reeks evil and darkne^t^^i with it;*
deep assured self confidence. I
have never beard anyone sirtg
like this, before in my life.

However, like Siryper, the
lyrics are abysmal. Constant
reference tti the devil, death,
pam and evil, with the off four
leiier words thrown in doeii'm
appeal tome at all. Names of
Mime iif tht tracks like Sadtsl
iTurmcntor}. Ptiiifistd. The
Ritr iff liarkn^is and Son of
Thf />tf;fme(/wi|| give you
s!>me idea what you are letting
Visursclf in for. The guys
attitude Icjive^ a lot to be
desired, because if vou don't

•;

buy the album (it i^ well worth
a listen) and like it . you will
never see the guy play live.
Why,' Well. Ouorthon has got
himself the basis of a hand
together, but all attempts to
play live have been rbwartcd
The reason ist that he plan^ I0
^Itiy a lamb on stage, breath
fire with a smashed guitar and
vomit hhxHl and the^* httic
tricks have failed 10 appeal to
elub owners, Iwunder
why,'!!!!

So there you have Batfiory.
Probably the most evil group
m the world.

A couple of my friends saw
(his band on tour with both
Mt'fi//od//and Gury Mmtre a
couple of months ago and told
me to kwk out for them as
they were very goi^nd live.

This album grows on you.
When I first played il. 1
noticed that it was very clean
sounding, snappy A. U.K. type
music. The album has a crisp
quality about it with swift,
nippy drumming from Alan
Kelly and harmonic guitar
from Steve Harris. The one
Ming that st(K*d out from the
rcM first time round was the
riicky Break Doh'it Thf Wtfth,
with Harris's guitar playing
proving tmmen^ly |>leasin£ to

i^ i >j **

the ear,

Howevcj, when you listen
to the album a few more times,
Tony Mills vocals creep up on
you then realise that he really
has an individual voice which
complements the musiic to
perfect ion a. 1 wu;, impreyi^d
with the stylish way it was all
put together by producer Neil
Keinon and the band really do
give him a classy performance
to help him put his obviously
gjeat talents lo gtxxl use.

I found a lot of different
sytles here from slow nuiKxIy
ballads to fast rocky
screamer!* 7"he songs are
largely based around love and
the problems asociiited around
it. Tliere are two points that 1
feel I must mi^ntion that did
upset me about the jlhum: the
first ptiint is the eseessivc us of
l*at Mckenna's keyboard. ]
like keyboards to be pjayed in
a manner to complement the
rythnin of the band and not
s<mnd loudei than ihc guitar,
which is what happens on this
album. The second is that
Vocalist Tony Mills has
EXACTLY the same hair cut
as me and wears the same
cloths!!

If you Itkc5rv*, Boitrnt,
Tutu and the like you v^il) like
this album.

• LOOK WHAT THE CAT

DftA6GEDir4

Like Suktdal Tendency, this
band was also formed in L.A.
around I9S2. but that is the
only thing these two hands
have in common.

These piy% - and 1 use the
term loi>*ely - are gbm
rockers and wear enough
ifiake-up 10 keep Max Factor
in business for the next twenty
years. They even look more
like women than the guys in
Siryper - and that's not easy!

On the music front thf^ugh.
this album shows that the band
are a set of very accomplished
and competent musicians, who
have a unique sound. From
the first track Cry Tough they
set out their stall, showing that
they have an energetic, clean
»mnd lottffer the listener.
G uil ari s I C (.' , De vi I le h and les
his guitar like a true master,
pulling off small tricky, solos
which blast itut at you in
sporadic bursts, Bobby Dail n
a Competent singer, who has a
crystal clear voice and this
makes the lyncs easy to
iit^dersiand, I found it a
pleasant change to sit hack and
actually listen to someone
singing, without having to
ct»nstaiitly strain my cars,

I believe thai this hand can
only get better and look
forward to the next album with
great relish.

Unlil now I ihoughf that M.SX Nemeiti
wQi the definitive vemon Well it's been
topped by the Ninlendo v^nion.

The Nintendo version hos qI\ the
elements of the MSX vemon BUI olio

more ployaMe, Oi the controller hos a
second button allowing you tg choose
your weopon without o wtid lunge for
the key boo rd.

The muiic ond soi/nd effects ore pretty
much the wme, but the Nintendo hos the
edge overMSX.

Konomi i^ ptonning to release
Nintendo corti in the UK from Jonuory
] 988 onwords, ond they v/ill sell for
around £20-25,

Nerresn woj the first gome to follow
in the Defender stylo and in many
respects was on improvement.

The oim of Nemem h to go from

NE W S

• The Nintendo is the

biggest setling gomes console
in the woHd with oroiind eight
million unili in use. In Japon it is
called tf\e Fomicom — FomiJy
Computer — ond hos been
round for several yeors. The
time will come when UK
software houses v^iil start
writing games for the mochine
— at present Nintendo issues
licences for third party software
and initial shipCL^tj ore so id to
be around one million ynits for
Q new gome

The reoson for me spelling
out the above is thot ther« is a
development system for the
Nintendo currently in use, It's
the Commodore 64 with an
infeHfoce boQrd — so those UK
Nintendo gomes couU be with
\n sooner than you thiniii.

K]le to switch on your

series' Ves, the monster shock is
out to get you yet ogoinl

6,

HTio or whet is Moebius? 'Who* is
eaay. He's a real rarity; coinic artist
— as opposed to A comic hero with a
secret identity. By day, as it were,
he'8 Jean Giraud, artisfco-creator
of one of France's most papular
western strips. Lieutenant
Biuebetry. By night (creatively
speaking) he's probably the most
off'the-waU genius in comiis today.

Giraud had already built a
reputation as a fine "mainstreani"
comica artist under his own name,
particularly <in Biueberry, when he
realitMid the need for other outlela
for his creativity and for his
interest in science fiction. His
solution was to dream up a new
identity for himself, enigmatically
named Moebius after the German,
mathematician who devitsed the
"endiesa loop" of paper known as
the Moebius strip.

Since the early TOs Moebius
|( sometimes, just to add to the
confusion, signing himself Jean
Gir) has unleashed on the public a
series of extraordinary fantasy/
science fiction stories. These, and
his port in founding the
revolutionary comic-strip mH^aztne
Afefa/ HuHand, marked a great
leap forward in story-telling
techniques^ in public acceptance of
comic strips . . . and in sheer mind*
blowing story concepts.

Et didn't take long for American
publishers to recognise the genius
of Moebius (wouldn't that make a
good title for a book?). One of them,
in fact, provided what seemed I i ke
the idea! vehicle for Moebiua to
conquer the English^i^peaking
world: an American edition of
Metal Hurland called Heaw Mf^tat.

Unfortunately, the reality didn't
live up to the promis*!. The
translations of Moebius* idiomatic
French were stilted and sometimes
inaccurate, and the colouring was
not at alt as Moebius had intended.
Nevertheless, his fame spread, and
a year or two later found Moebit^
in America doing design work on
two films dear to C+ VG's heartt
Alien and Tron.

This long preamble is all leading , ^
up to something ^ something quite t
unlikely, in fact. Would you believe
Marvel Comics to the rescue? To be
more precise, the Epic Comics
division of Marvel, which be^^an as
a sort of alternative to He&vy
Met/ii. is now in the proomsof
re-presenting all of Moebius' works,
specially re- translated and re-
coloured under the supervision of
the man himself. They're being
published as a series of six deluxe
volumes aimed at "mature readers*'.
The first two have already
appeared; the third should he out by
the time you read this. All aiJc are
being imported by Titan
Distrtbutors and sold through
comic shops at about £B.50 each.
And they're highly recommended.

Those are the facts. What's more
dif!icu]t to defme is: what is
Moebius? You could say he^s a true
artist, constantly pushing himself
to achieve something new and
differenl, You could call him a
master storyteller in the fantasy
j^enre. Or you could chuose simply
to judge him by his works.

What you discover is that here
we're dealing with a man who^s
seriously weird. For instance, the
first volume of "Collected Fantasies

T=rt

of Jean Giraud", as it's subtitled,
contains:

# The Repairmen" — Our first
meeting with Stel and Atan, who
crop up again in the next story.
They find a very strange way of
fixing a damaged Woymaster, one
of a "mysterious race who drive
endlessly across the incredible
networks of road which covers their
planet". This, though, is just a
prequel to . . .

# "^pon a Star" — A wonderful
story originally commissioned by
Citrden, the car company, as an
extra-special giveaway for their top
sales people — ^thereby", as
Moebiui; puts it in his introduction,
Trustrating all the traditional
French comics collectors"! It
concerns a space- bound "Marie
Celeste", a graveyard ofabundoned
spaceships whose 3(K>,0CND crew
members are camping out in the
shadow of a gigantic blue pyramid
(which turns out ot be something
else entirely) , , . and a I93£
Citr6en. We begin to get an idea of
theeosmic scale on which this man
works!

# "Aedena" has a simi lar theme —
humans lifted to a higher plane by
alien civilisation — but with a
rather diOerent focus and some
beautiful colours.

# l^elestial Venice" — Did you
know that there are 127 active
Vunic«s,over 4.000 having already
sunk? This is the story of one that's
saved in the nick of time . . .

Volume two contains the stories

The new ASOO isi a bnltiant

and, foi" Richard Monb, you
CAN use an AStW wHh a T. V.
Taking all ohh is into
consideration, I find il hard to
see why you are displaying a
marked bias, towards an
inferiof machine.

If Atari want their product
advertised they should pay for
a real ad like evi'ryone else,
and not get the Ed to do it for
them,

lamc tfi address, We know ihat

?nough liimes so you 'should
iave|;;ot il ri(,;ht^

For everyone who so

Editor's reply: Well, il IS a
dodgv address...

• I weni ihrough all Ihi^ drivel
about five vears ago as a BBC
ownior, and now, having
Iwught 3n Atari STf M. find ihe
same old problem raising its
extremely ugly head again I
am referring to the price ol
games soft ware-
Virtually all software houses
price their software on the
principal of the better hte
computer, the hi|?herihe price-
To a certain exieni, thiM*> fair
enough, as it takes more time
and skill to program a finer
production on the more
powerful computers.

As regard<> the ST and
Amiga, il sc»ems lo be standard
policy to price these versions at
nearly twice the price of the
already ov*'r price<f Amstrad
dist version, at around £2 S.

Mastertronic ■H>emir\glv orse
of the few honi'-.r soriware
houses, have pn>ved thai
selling at iZ.miAm brings
mas'<tve sales, and has made
them one ol the richest houses-
Do Sub-Logic - wotHierfully
appropriate name - really think
that selling FUf^ht Simultitor It iit
£S0 wilt bring m more profits
than they would get selling at
£ 10- n^ Surely Ihev would sell
ten lo twenty as many copies at
this price.

For once, will th0 software
houses use their comnnonsen^
and price aU of their excellent
titles as only Ma^u-nronic
know how.

So, there are two paths open
to u& games players - have .i

massive write in protest, or

liettef don 'I buy any voftwafe

above £10 in price, unk?s« it

consisK of a gold or platinum

disc.

youf reader has started to
become younger. Why^ Well,
looking thfu this months copy
ofC+VG everyone seems to
be saying what I say is best and
everything else 'a, crap.

It's a well known syndrome
- Narrow Mmded
Obnoxiousness and by looking

al the reph s to some oi Ihe
letters 1 can see also that Ihe
symplomsare showing in you
also.

A liew views thai i would lilc£
to express are - jerry Paris
needs a s< rfpt editor. You also
need your style ^toned out and
'ijK'lling mistakes. On the
whole, Mark Brfumtev d<x»s the
l>esl an work tor your covers.
You menliCKi you did have a

he seems to be getting more

heavy metal section is , , . we3!

Although I don' I read it
myself, I don't carp and moan
about it. A quick word lo Wim

0S/6ft, long live the Sisterhood.

Back to the point. Nipples!
Ves they were invented king
before computers and as the
average age of your neadership
is t f>. everyone knows what
they are.

Out of the two computer
mags I buy, one has an
inferiotilv f omplex- Why the

#1 think ih.ll ihe judgement*, of

unfair, es|H><;ially the Barbarian
one. Peopfe spent so much

Loud ond proud ond ready-
to shock. Yes^ C + VO's very
own Mr T — Tony TokooshI —
is back to rant and r€s^&
about computer games. Love
or Hate him, just read him.

(MKice and $liib)lity to all
the planets.

The game b \n the
Defenaer vein, your
ship movo« left to Hoht
across the screen while
the landscape move»
obave ond betow yoti«
At the end of a wave
you have to d«f«cit a
mother ship to proceed
to the next level.

You start off with |ust
buMets at your disposal
but con pkk up, extra
£p0«d, missMes, double
cannon, laser, optional
extra ships and a force
field by snooting certain
aliens which turn into
very ]u1cy collectable
poas.

There are other
temporory weapons to

I know If sounds
crazy, but recently
there hove been
times that I felt like
exploding In excitement
otoirthenew 16-blt/
console stuff, and there
Is still the odd few 8 -bit
gomes th<it gets the
pulse racing.

This montn's offering
isa13SKMSXgame
coiled Nemesis 2. Yup,
ifs the follow up to the
original arcod« hit
N&inesiSf which was
con veiled to all ma|or
formats.

It comes from Konomi
on cortridae ond will set
you bock £20.

OK, you all know I
foam otthe mouth otthe
very thought of a

There or© seven
planets to work through
— statute, jungle,
ancient^ flootlng
continent, fire, living
and fortress.

What deserves special
attention is the sound in
this gome. For the first
time ever Konqmi has
put □ ddditcited sound
chip in the gOme
cartridge.

A new custom sound
LIS — therfs what it says
here — was specially
developed wnlch allows
eight voice polyphonic
sound effects.

The bottom line is thot
this gome has music and
sound effects that moke
the industry standards
of Rob Hubbard
look like Noddy. I know
it is o sweeping
statement but It is that
good.

The graphics ore
excellent, well animated
ond coloured. My only
qualm with the

Konami MSX game^
but if you have ever
been privileged tO play
one you will
understand!

Boy, where do I
begin? This aome is
absolutely cnoc-a-blcK
with wicked touches,
gomeplay and action.

In fact tnls game mode
history for me, I have
played thousands of

Sames and for the first
me EVER I hit the pause
key to rest as the oclion
was just too much for
me 1 1 hod to calm down
on getting to a
mothership stage.

More of mis later, now
back to the game. It
follows on from the first
NemBsis in that you
control a ship and hove
to clear assorted nasties
from a planet. The
scenario tells you that
the evil Or Venom has
Invoded your plonefary
system and you have to
make like Clint
Eastwood and bring

I

be collected [via pods]
that last o set amount of
time, and Include vector
loMr, option ring,
enemy slow and rotary
drill.

On defeating o
mothership you can go
for the big ones, here
you go and sit in the hull
of the dead mothership
and you ploy o short
round which results in
, ou getting a new VERY

ethol weapon (up laser,
down laser, napolm
missile, reflect ring,
extended laser, back
beam or fire blaster).

The enemy attack
comes in the form of
Inertial alien patterns
and bo&es on the
backdrop — these open
up and let you have it^
also, mazes to
manoeuvre through,
rotating pillars to
squeeze past, artd
Egyptian heads ond
Dinosaurs — very neat
on the eye — to zap, or
ovoid!

presentation is the
scrolling which like the
originaiMemesis, is
jerky BUT the action is
SQ hot you do not have
the time to even notice
It.

Again the game
scores in Its ployobillty.

Moke no mistake, this
gome is very hard in
places, but tney are all
the right ploces.

There's a ten digit
highscore^ you cannot
be serious — and o
continuous option at the
end of the game so you
ton practice the high
levels.

The gome should be
avail dole by the time

Jrou reod this os the
aunch date is. mid'
October, all I con soy is
Konami you hove
reaffirmed my foith in
eight- bit games with a
worthy follow-up to the
original — and great —
N0miS$is. It is a tollOW-
