work, every month the Gallup organisa-
tion (you know, the folk who do the BSC
music charts amongst other things)
prepares tor us two Speccy games
charts (one full price and one budget},
based on a conlinuoas survey of sales
in shops up and down the country.
These include big chain stores like WH
Smith, Virgin and MenzJes, as well as at
ieasi 50 independent retailers, meaning
we can bring you the most accurate
guide possible to what's selling and
what's not> What more could you possi-

KONG

Philip Kiftrfwn, eh? What a star. H«'s
put together Ihis ataolut^ly corlcing map
tor us which! I tell you absolutely
ewryttiing you could possJbty wani to
know about Hong Kong Phooey {as long
8S It's something to do with the i^yout ot
the room ft). And there are even ftome
excliuslvfl tips to get you ducking and
diving as well. Worthy of the £50 prize? I
think so too.
Take il swayp Ptill!

• Don't try to elimEr^le a weapon-carrying
goon like you would an unarmed Qtm
because ttiat's a sure way lo lose energy.
G€l past sa(©ly by standing omfm same
platforrri when he"s nol loo ctase. After he
(ires, fall otf ro sateiy His ammunition is
now used up so you can punch him withcuf
worry

• WHen you want to gel oft an elevator just
walk off it Don t |ump because if yau 6o rt1l
ascflind, making it impossible lo reach
again. This may not be a problem m some
ptaoes, but gerieralhr il't basi nol lo jump, It
it happens l^ mtgWie ttwjgti you can get it
back to normal by getting as tar away from
the elevator as passible and then returning.

• On ir>e section of the warehouse wtiere
the barrels fall down, be careful as these
are real enerfiy drainers To avoid a hit<
stand on th^5 nght ol Ihe vertical passage
and bo a high jump sifai-ght up When one
fails, dimb higher and always do that iump
on the r^ght Continue (his until you w&ch
itm oonveyof belts at the top. Remain on
ttie highest one on th^ right and jump
ai^oss to the lowest one on the left. Wtwi
you land, immediately hRgti-jump nghi Stay
there untif the barrel is faffing Re-fump fefl
and climb the bells fa Ihe platform Get the
er^rgy and continue onwards,

• The last swFtch is on the botiom-lati area
of The map. Wtwi you fall off the platlorm,
make sure you move left m the air to land
on the todge wh^ch leads to that switch. If
you miss i1 arid fall in front ot the final door
there's rKJ way oi getting any further.

• Touch the huge gunman to complete the
game When I first saw him t was ah^aid to
get too dose because that gun looks like it
eouki do some senous damage. But luckjly
he doesn t use it. Phewi

referrlfig to the ^raens .

-Go to IT

*Go lo 2.4-

means Zone Two, screen four.

G<A that?
I think &p.
Away we go!

CREATING ZONE TWO
1 . Tfanspoft mammals to eavc
in IS.

Go Eo 1 2 and plaee a iravel pod
there. Go lo 1.5 (using rhe

mammat fo the pod in 1 .5. Repeat
the above several limes You can
have up to 1ft majtimate in the
I cave a! any one time. You may
transport mammals even attar
you have created Zone Two.

i. Go to 1.3 and block gteysera,
Congratulaliortt] You've now
created Zone Twa

CREATING ZONE THREE

1. Make a fire by cave In 2^5 to
keep apemen warm.

Place a pod by the cave. {Rre
lasts lof>ger in the green area.)
Go !o 2 2. find wood and
trartspod it to 2.5. Go ro 2.1 and
stand in rhe middle of the screert
m\ the soIkJ paich. Go to U
(change zones ) Transport the
flame lo 2 S to ignite the wood. II
the tire goes out jusl reignite the
wood.

2. UnWoefc gcvMt^« t^ ^arm up

Yati does nol fike the warm pfanet

so It will try to bkxrk geysers! You

can feed him by transporting

apples from 1.2 or fish from 3,4.

REPAIRING THE TIME

MACHINE

1. H&cover Itve crystal unit fof
the time machine.

Kill a few lerronsts in 5 5 shd
w#t for a bomb. Transpon this

3. Plant aeeda in 2.4 (needed
tor later iof\es\)
place the pod on the nvar bank
(in the green area by the existing
plants) TranspofT the appto^ from
1 2- Repeat for both rrver banks.

CREATING ZONE FOUR

1 . Transport round wheat from

3 2 to 3,5.

If you have ptanied seeds in 2 4

then you should have trees ^n 3*!

You need to break the branches

of trees to torm a bridge. Vou

need the bndge to take the wheel

acrc]^ Ihe river The bridge is

also r>eeded in iater zone^

US0 pterodactyl m Zone One
and as you cross the river change
i&tm at the appropriate place so
ttiai you wou^d drop on to the
branches! Repeat lot both
branches. You can new take the
wheel across ttw nver to 3.5.

HINT - A quicker way ot getting
ttw wheel io 3 5 iS to can^ the

You will then respf>ear in Itie hut
in 3 5. Now watk up to Ihe square
wheel ar>d drop the round wheel

the Goliath.

7. Reveal oil source.
Take another barrel from 4.5 and
take It to 4 J and drop it by the
rnovimg rock (oil source}. Place a
pod near the barrel ar>d ^ite it to
dislodge ttie movir>g rock thus
re¥ealing the oil source.
You wrll have now created Zone

bomb to 1 t by the rock with the

crystal in rIT Ignrle the bomb to
cf iSkidge the ciystal from the rpcfc-
You will not be able to find che
crystaP m the swamp as ri is too
deep, but you will tmd it m 2.t il
you search for il

Place a pod in kom of ttie time
machine and transport the crystafi
toH

' .u I re h power to the time

There is a povipec switch on lop ot
the txjiiding above ft^ ViO OIL
sign in 5 1 Use pterodactyf to
land on top of the buildir>8 and
beam at Ihe swrtch to turn the
power on and off

Make sure you place Itie crystal
in the Ijfne mftchme before
switchmg ihe power on

Ni>w that the crystal is m

Gftneral Tips

• Never leave a system unbi rt
Is oompletfid. even for a
mission. It IS easier to do tti«m
one at a time,

• Shoot all the alien stiips rf

pe^&.

• Always use the same planet

• The pla/iet you chooee 10

As for how ii actually pJays. well, commenis

him to nwing the knife

it caught the safety-pin that

together and glanced off^to
one aide.

■*Whoop#t* he cried, "that
waf!! a close eai^pec Mrs
Balrog would tiever have
rorgiven me if I'd apilt blood
on the carpet.'"

Shuffling towards the
opc^n dofir, he went to nee
what gTt^at joya awaited him
on the mat beneath the
tetter- box. He noticed a large
pile of a«S4>rted envelopes,
and right in the middle was
a fl mall jiffy bag.

Deftly tearing open the
package, the BaJfOg was
nurpriaed to see that it was a
copy of Oiw 0fOiir Wombats

whiapers and hushed t43nes.
hut never before seen in real
life. "Hey, this is the game
that old Ekim has been
blabbing about m the page^
ijf Ytmt Unfyir for the pasl
decade or aol He must have
rtnally finiahed wnting it.""
With that, the Balrog

shuffled
upstairs to ti^
out the tape.

As the tape-
deck whirrM
and Batrogs
battered telly
flashed and
hiaiad (much
ai the Balrog
himself used
to do in the old
daysh he sat
and read the
leaflet that
came with the
gattio:

young apprentice £oi>-k#eperp
who is sent out one day bo

visitors have gone home.
However, to the young
apprentice s surprise one nf
Ihe cage doom is lyar and
the cage totally empty Your
task m to discover what's
missing and, if possible,
return it to the eagie."

"Sounds a simple enough
tSJik In tne," grunted Balrog,
switching off the tapenleck
and adjusting his
underpants into a positton
more comrortable for a
lengthy spell of adventure-
playing. ''Now which animal
is missing/ the Balroig
wondered, auite ohli^-ious to
the subtle clue in the title of
the game.

For the next hour or so
silence reigned in the Balrog
ahodet with or^ly the odd cry
of *" Where is that blet*din'
wombat?!" or "Well, which
key docs unlock that lioddin'
door then?" m he attempted
to probe the inner workings
of the game. He spent ages
chasing a small c<ickroa^,
and met a very talkative
bird* referred to as a *manic
mynah'. ("Hmm," thought
the BaIro|f, "Old Rkim muf<t

Despite having cmne
across a multitude of locked
doors and red horrinjESi
Balrog wa« thuroughty
engrossed in the game. It
wasn't until he heard the cry
of Tou lozy c*ld f*odf What
have you been doing all

what time il was, and be
slowly trundled downstairs
to be met by an irate Mrs
Balrog.

'"Danvn good job then^' -

he thought. 1 can get back
to playing it when the old
battleaxe goes out to her WJ
meeting tonight. After all.
It's a great little game and
well worth ploying through
to the end. Its not too big
but still hard enough and
different enough to refresh
those parts that thtr others
dont always reach. Mmm,

The only problem is. there're far,
tar too many lu&cious luwiies to
