A Force to reckon with..

Chill out game fiends cos here's the nutters in the know!
They're rad, they're bad and totally mad but boy can
they play games! And they're here to give you the
lowdown on the hottest, hardest mag for Nintendo fans
in this, or any other, universe...
ED ( Luc y Hi c k m a n) Captai n Top Ca t
A cool blond with a will of iron and a Wilkinson Sword
longue- Famous for giving wit hering looks (which
reduce grown men to blithering basket cases), this
girl's harder than the Star of India and a lot brighter.
Welds the team together with charm, gent le
persuasion and a knee in the goolies when necessary.
Hails from somewhere south of the North Pole.

'IV ( Roge r Ke a n) Cor por al P uni s hm e nt

He Who Must Be Obeyed without question and
pretty damn quickly. Rumour has it. he s miled
once but the plastic surgery costs incurred fixing
us cracked face proved too expensive so he's
slopped. Used to be an atheist until he realised
ne was God. Likes being a miserable bast. a very
miserable bast and downright monster (but only
with the lights off).
I don't see what
it's got to do with you lot, but
since you're interested, my rave
sound's Mendeissohn's Funeral
March, best game's anything
with torture! My ideal woman?
Mind your own goddamn
business!

OZ ( Doug Gr een) Gener al i r r i tant

Hails from Australia where people walk around
upside down all the time and men are men
and wallabies are nervous. The 25-year-old
speaks with an irritating Aussie drawl which
drives the whole crew NUTS. But since he's a
macho type who couldn't give a Castlemaine
XXXX, he usually just makes like a kangaroo
and bounds up and down on people's heads.

ACE (Chr i s Ri ce) Mi nor Ti pster

Utterly, totally and unquestionably the best
games player in this (or any other)
universe. Used to be a judge's flunky but
got led up of driving through Kings Cross.
Ace, 24i wears poxy baseball hats to keep
his one brain cell stabilised. Hales anyone
south of Manchester (and north of Preston).

I'm a sucker for

Rolf Harris. Ky lie Minogue,
Jason Donov an and anyone else
from home. The hottest game has
gotta be New Zealand Story (closest
to Aim I could find). ideal woman:
any t hing with breasts, a pouch
and six cold tinnies!

Since I hate
everything, it's difficult to say.
but if pushed I'd say my fave record's
Show Me The Way To Go Home. lave
game's Home Alone and ideal woman:
my girlfriend only I haven't seen
her since being dragged in 'ere
AAARG11!

Erasure are ties:

but to make up for that namby-pamby
quirk of mine, I love any game with violence
in it like WWF Smash TV and Mystical

Simply the Best by Tina Turner
sums me up pretty well. Game-wise
I love Super Soccer, and Jordan vs
Bird (cos Jordan's my mate). Ideal
woman: my Game Boy!

S HADE S (Ni ck Rober ts) Li eu Cool Dude

Known as the Ice Man ',fetish: jumping in freezers).
Shades is so cool that Eskimos squat up his right
nostril. Has sunglasses superglued to his nose and
is the only man ever to wear a mirrored cod-piece.
Unfortunately. t'yungun (19 with matching number
of zits) hails from Ludlow which blows his street
cred straight out the window! Has difficulty getting
girlfriends cos he can't find anyone he loves as
much as himself!

CHI P (Char l i e Chubb) Lay Ab- out

One of those teeny-bopper flunky types
responsible tor making the mag look slick in'
mad (or not as the case may be). Chip, 18,
was kidnapped from the depths of
Shropshire, dragged into N-FORCE and
hasn't forgiven us since. He's a fair type of
dude though (particularly the bleached bits on
his bonce) he hates everybody equally!

DOODLE (Oi l Fr ey) Admi r abl e Dr awi st

I he only man around with any talent, Doodle's
one of these autistic, er... sorry a r t i s t i c types
who's not happy unless he's scribbling something
wherever he might be This has made for some
pretty neat bog roll but didn't amuse Shades
when he stood next to Doodle in the urinal...
Indelible ink as well!

I'm into Vanilla Ice,

ice-T and LL Cool J. Faye
games're Mario 1 thr ough 4,
ideal woman: Aphrodite (cos no

enough for me)!
I'm his' crazy

about her singing!). while my
lave games are St ar Wars,
Turtles, Krusty's and everything
else I wrote about this month.

Smelling of roses
Sales Curve were offered the licence
to produce the game before the film
was even released and leapt at the
opportunity!
The company has no firm program
design as yet but Sales Curve's Nadia

release will do justice to the film.
She's confident Sales Curve can
capture the vivid cinematography and
hi-tech atmosphere of the movie and
incorporate this into a strong visual
computer title.
N-Force will bring you more gory
news on the conversion ASAP. Watch
this space, as they say, for further

KEN American. Similar to

RYU. You'll find him at the
shipping docks in the States.
E.HONDO Japanese. This
big Sumo guy can grab and
squeeze the life right out of you.
Not to mention banging your
head repeatedly. The Bath
House is where he's at.
ZANGIEF Russian. Another
big guy with a lot of moves. His mini piledriver will give you quite a
headache, and he'll take your breath away by squeezing your face or
stomach. He hangs out with his friends at the construction site in
Russia.
BLANKA The Beast from Brazil. He loves to bite oft your head. A
residential village is his home.
DHALISM From India. He can do some mean
tosses, and likes to bat your head with his. The quiet
monastery's where he can be found.
RYU J apanes e. He can throw
opponents and kick toss. Look for
him in the Japanese Temple.
GUILE
American. Does a
mean air toss (up
and off you go), as
well as a
backbreaker that
makes the
opponenf s head feel like Ifs popping off. Guile
hangs out on a USA military base.
CHUN LI Chinese and the only female. She's
also got good tossing abilities. Her turfs the
marketplace in China.

to practise those moves as you turn

the metal into mulch. Time limit here
too, so exotic moves are out go for
those quick punches and flashy
footwork,
Just say you get through Guile's
fearsome fireballs, Chun t h o u s a n d
feet and your piles are still intact after
being driven by langief's drivers,
don't puff that chest out too hard, cos
there's a bucket-load more
headaches to be had yet.
First there's Bahlrog in Las Vegas,
a guy with fists like flamin' steam
engines. Then there's Spain and
Vega, a dude with sharp fingernails
and a number of nasty habits (No
one of them is NOT wearing apricot
nail varnish).
Thailand's the final stop for a
cheery interlude with Sagot and
Bison. These guys won't remind you
of your mother, and will give you
nightmares.

Ellaaarghgh!
To put it plainly, Streetfighter 2 is a
nice piece of work with well defined
graphics, strongly drawn backgrounds
with sharp edges and good definition.
There's plenty of those lovely
OOMPH. CRRRACK and
ELIRGHHHG sounds when you land a
big one on a baddie.
In the background, awed onlookers
watch the battle but they're like
wallpaper to be ignored. The

backgrounds are nice and colourful

who cares? Who has time to admire
the art spent in drawing scenes of
America, Brazil, Japan? Or the
limited, almost comical animation of
the background cast? Not when
there's some gorilla -faced yob built
like a brick cack-house to pummel into
submission.
That goes for the music too. It
sounds nice, has a good feel to add to
the action and changes with each
scene. But again, if you love music,
go fondle a juke box.
What I like about this game are the
digitised battle sounds; the grunts,
groans, and the sound of a body
being compressed into something the
size of a sandwich tin. I also like the
'intermission' screens that display the
broken, blood-drenched puss of the
meathead you just massacred. But
then, I never was home-made apple
pie sort of dude.
What it all comes down to is this. If
you're a big frilly woozer, don't bother
with Streettighter 2 But if you've got a
king-sized set of gonads and aren't
scared of plastic surgery without
anaesthetic, you just might be OK.

When Guile's hangin' out with his army buddies, you'd think
he'd show oft, but Zangiet here's got him ready to toss.

Hie* graphics, and big

figures make a lively game.

The new Scope puts its 8-bit little

brother to shame, with accuracy down
to pixel level and a look that'd make
even Arnie smile.
It snuggles into your shoulder,
either left or right, and has sideswapping sights. There's a cursor
button which gives a pencil red laser
beam for aiming on certain games, a
pause button which doubles as an
onscreen target for checking aim, and
a fire button (no need to explain that
one, fellow maulers).
The power switch gives you rapid

fire when in the turbo position in some

games. The six AA batteries fit into
the shoulder mount just like loading
ammo and it's surprisingly easy to
use.

scope's infra-red signalling, there's no
cords to get tangled up in (it would
sort of take the fun out of being a Reman, wouldn't it?).
The fun starts when you turn your

press Fire again. A red dot appears
on the target screen indicating where
you hit the screen.

whose fetish is watching TV from his

litter tray,
The Hen and Stimpy Show is a
real hoot sort of fleshed out Itchy
and Scratchy (Simpsons), combined
with Tom and Jerry.
Set in a 1950s cartoon style,
there's elements of Bullwinkle, tossed
in with sci-li; space ships, crude city
scenes of badly styled skyscrapers,
cheap plastic furniture and stacks of
offensive sound effects, including
regular euructing (that's a safe way to

animation on top. And boy, are these
two ugly up close, 'specially when
their faces contort into unearthly
shapes one advantage of being a
cartoon character (Marshal, you never
told me you moonlight as a 'loon
character Ed).
These guys have stacks of
adventures such as Stimpy (whose
fave song is 'Happy Happy, Joy Joy
wotta sad bastard he must be
Ed) winning a cat litter contest and going to Hollywood, Ren's so
saddened that he stops eating and
becomes too gross to contemplate,
And for complete space turkeys
there's Ren's story of Yak Day, that
special holiday when you leave hot
shaving cream for the Mystic Yak who
might come out the plug hole and
leave you a present for being a good
boy or girl. (Should you wish to
participate in this holiday, don't forget
to hang diapers on the walls, and
leave plenty of coleslaw in your

father's boots)!
Ren and Stimpy look like they'll be
the next big ones, so expect plenty of
toys (got that neat T-shirt already),
games, promotions, licensing, and of
course VIDEO GAMES (meanwhile
Marshal, keep taking the tablets
Ed)!

The Genie's on its way to the UK so

how's about some new codes to play
with? For quickest results change
existing codes where they have
numbers in the effects.
(By the way, 'piggy-backing'
where two Genies are stuck together
to get extra codes by having a
second code screen ain't a good
idea it usually doesn't work and
there's real potential for mucking up
the NES box. You've been warned!)
Okay, lecture over, let's get down

Key in zeuxkgaa to start you as

Fire Mario, geuxkgaa for Frog Mario
and teuxkgaa for Sledgehammer
Mario. For these powers to be
permanent, it requires uxkxglia

(Sledgehammer). A handy one for
Mario only is ypxxivge which lets him
re-use items over and over again.

some nifty little codes it's time to
complete this epic adventure and
smash the evil Ganon to

Some games have battery backups

STD's Game Action Replay makes
great sense.
It's designed to save your position
in any NES game (but only one
game and only one save). The
device tits in between the NES box
and the cartridge, and has its own
built-in power supply.
The internal ROM pops up its
own menu when you press both NB
buttons down along with the
controller. This lets you specify the
save. Good eh?

One of the latest and biggest film

firm decision's yet been taken, Larry
said the company is looking at the
situation very closely.
'We have to move with the times

its position. The sooner rental comes

intend to keep it that way.
'We don't see ourselves as just
video game publishers we're a

that overall strategy.'
Anyway, enough of the waffle, let's
have a butchers at what's out and
coming up on the Acclaim games
front:

create your own tournament.
Over-hyped and underresearched, this title bears little
resemblance to its SNES counterpart.
Poor gameplay and graphics make it
a 24-stone flop. Only for the die-hard
WWF fanatic!

Good looking: Ferrari Grand

running left right and jumping about a

bit. However don't let this put you off,
under the fairly inane first level there's
one brutal phall of a game waiting to
kick yer butt.
Wizards and Warriors 3 NES
Wizards and Warriors 3 has all the
components of a great game
engrossing storyline, massive playing
area, straightforward gameplay and
loads of things to find and people to
talk to. However these parts have not
been put together into a viable whole.
The graphical content's poor,

animation's for the most part

nonexistent and the collision
detection's exceedingly dodgy. It
doesn't live up to the rather good
introduction sequence and leaves the
player feeling let down. As an arcade
adventure it really doesn't make the
grade simply because the initial high
standard of presentation has not been
maintained throughout
Bart Simpson's Escape from

We need more kids like Bart who are
prepared to push back the boundaries
of hair fashion to a far future date
when we can, once and for all, do
away with that dodgy breed of perv'
known to society as the hair stylist,
But for now Bart's still a kid and he's
trapped in that summer camp from
hell Camp Deadly! It's down to you
to help Bart to escape to keep the
world free from perms and highlights
so that whenever skateboards are

menaced by international
communism, he'll be there, So much
for the plot, how does it play?
Absolutely brilliant! No new ideas on
gameplay but the execution is superb.
The sampled speech is a particular
favourite. Well worth the cash.

you're

with?
Well take an ogle at this. Action
CT has introduced bit of kit which
could bring back all the excitement
into your games playing.
Called the U-Force, it's described
as a power field controller for the NES
games machine. What it is, in fact, is
a cross between a joypad, joystick,
and a trouser press.
U-Force opens up like a lap-top
computer and has a lead which plugs
into the joypad port. You then control
the game through it, with a number of
powerlields translating movement into
directional commands
Putting it bluntly, you want to
punch some git on the screen, you
just punch in front of Li-Force. A
superb idea which can add a lot of
new excitement to old and tired
games. But how does it play?

Super
Formation
Soccer
Imust have died and gone
to Heaven. First United
lost the league and now
Human, in association with
'Amin Fix it'. have made my dream
come true by releasing Super Soccer!
If you wanna be the ultimate
player/manager (like Peter Reid). then
check out my A-Z guide to football.
1. Play dirty at all times! Check the
list of attributes to find your
opponent's best player (usually no. 10
and no.7) Find your worst player and
then go into Norman Whiteside mode

PACE 32 S Al-FORCE NJULY 1992

and shoulder-barge, boot, head butt,

whatever, until he's maimed for life.
You get sent off but it's well worth it!
2. Watch out for your opponent
trying to nobble your star player! Don't
mix it with psychotic defenders hellbent on restructuring your
exoskeleton.
3. Play to feet. It's far easier to
string sweeping moves together if you
use the [A] rather than the [Y] button.
The computer often selects an
awkwardly-positioned player if you rely
on the auto pass selection. Trust your
own judgement!
4_Find the keeper's blind spot. Get
the ball to your player with great shot
power it Germany's number 10 or
7. Line up just inside the goal post,
press (13] and let a rocket fly from
about 35 yards. It will scream past the
Keeper into the top corner. Works
every time! You should be able to put
20 past a team like Columbia or
Belgium in a 5 minute match.
Alternatively, line up just outside the
post and apply a little aftenouch to
bend it into the top corner. There's

also a blind spot on the edge of the

area, but I'm not telling you everything!
5. Use your head. No doubt you
remember Techmo's World Cup '90 in
the arcades. Adopt a similar strategy,
run down the wing, cross and
nut:overhead:Volley past the desparing
keeper. Practise and you're able to
score spectacularly from swerving
corners.
6. Attack the keeeper. When he
tries to kick the ball out, position
yourself behind him and the minute
he steps outside the six yard box,
mug him with the trusty shoulder
barge!! Then walk the ball casually
into the gaping net. Harsh but
effective!
Adopt these words of wisdom and
you should have no problem fouling
your way through to the World Cup
finals. If you still need help then
here's a complete list of codes.

OK listen up dweebs! To
show you what a totally
wonderful kinda guy I
am, here's a feast of hot
tips for this brilliant arcade
adventure from Acclaim.
To kill Blindside Bill, jump over
him and throw the boomerang
diagonally to strike him on the back
of the head. You defeat him with
one blow! Grab the candy he drops,
then walk to the right and leap over
the black pit. Lisals waiting for you
wi t h e other side with a
b e e k e e p e r outfit.
Put it on and drop
back to the
ground!

WORLD 1-1: Fly high in the air and when you see the pipe,
enter it Collect all the silver coins except for three of them, then
leave the pipe. Get all the coins on the ground and in the clouds.
There should be about 37 coins. Pick up all the coins hidden in
bricks as well and then get a star-card for a mystery event.
WORLD 1-2: Wait for about 4-5 Koopas to come out of the pipe. Mario
(with Racoon suit) jump son any one of the creatures. Press [13] and [Al to
make him jump very high in the air after killing a Koopa. Waggle your racoon
tail to make a slow descent and land on the next Koopa. A slow landing gives
time for more nasties to come out of the pipe. Keep jumping on the Koopas
without hitting the floor you receive
points to start with but then you're
awarded lives 99 in

On the Rebound
To defeat Rebound Rodney, throw
the boomerang in a direction away
from him. Jump over Rodney so
that the boomerang hits him when
it's coming back to you. Repeat until
he's beaten and then move right to
receive a football helmet from Lucy.
Slipshod Sammy is a sinch to
beat. Keep hitting him with your
boomerang to knock him
backwards. Force him into the
black pit and he falls to his doom
There's a radiation suit awaiting
you.

Smashing Fun
Once you've made it out from
camp property you've got to
defeat the evil Iron Fist. Lucky for
you, Britain's top tipster knows
exactly how to crush the crafty
counsellor. You can't actually
defeat him so instead, throw
boomerangs so that they bounce off
him and smash the light bulbs
above you
When all four are
smashed, the screen goes
dark. Jump over Bums and
move to the right. Climb up the
ladder and jump up to hit the
switch that says 'Do Not Touch.'
You appear on a cliff overlooking
Camp Deadly. When the lights
go out, walk to the right and
Hey Presto. You'v e done V!!
(Well, I've done it for you!)

Some mags are still reviewing it but Uncle Ace

the coolest dude this side of Bradford, has got the
complete solution to that bril beat:ern-up from Acclaim. To
kill the first Boss! approach him from above or below and punch
repeatedly.
Use the Same method for Boss #2 and try to drive him to the tar right of the
screen where you can keep him pinned with punches! This works tor all the
end-of-level bosses.
When you get to level ten you go up in an elevator to the first floor. To
beat the thugs. throw three punches, grab the thug, use three more punches
and then use the flying knee drop. Works every time! To defeat the
final Boss! Anderson, drive him to the edge of the screen and use
punches and flying kicks to drain his energy.

sensible but not so. It lowers your

score and makes completion harder.
Take on some of these guys with a
puny single shot laser, and you wish
you'd spent more time finding and
picking up stuff.

Meet my friends
Han pilots the Millennium Falcon
(docked at Mos Eisley), Obi-Wan's
the source of advice, and R2 helps
with computers and when flying the
X-Wing. Two other must-haves are
shields for the Millennium Falcon (the
Asteroid Belt is unforgiving), and
Luke's Lightsaber.
While Luke's the one to be,
occasionally let Han Solo or the
Princess take charge. From the

It's Ha n Solo I thought you

we re be tte r as Indy Jones!

cos there's stuff ya gotta find

energy shields, Lightsaber and
maybe even your bizarre mates.
Explore all the caves an' speed
on. Ignore the sandcrawler and head
for the spaceport. Snatch Han Solo
from the Cantina without getting
Luke's ass lasered off by imperial
troopers, bounty hunters or slighted
aliens just lookin' for a good time.
With Han and Chewy in tow,
search the hangers until you find the
oldest, slowest pile of scrap in living
memory Han's ship the Falcon.
Except for the bounty hunters it's best
to let Han take over
now but be careful
cos he's only got one
life.
Okay now blast
off! The planet you're
headed for has been
zonked into bite-sized pieces by the
Death Star. So now ifs 'dodge the
asteroids' part of the game but even if
you do, a tractor beam still drags you
on to the Death Star.
Take out the tractor beam (if R2 is
along) by plugging the mobile dustbin
into a computer terminal to locate the
control room, then race through the

tv
maze of halls and elevators to blow
the crap out of it. Done? Okay. find
the cell block and rescue Princess
Lela. Cinch!
Back to the hanger, into the
Falcon, up, up an away, jinking to
throw pursuing Tie lighters which 'dog
you from behind'. My advice here's to
man the lasers and blow 'em to hell.
Lela guides you back to the rebel
base but you lead the Death Star
there too!
Okay. time to take that sucker out.
Cram Luke into an X-Wing, use R2 to
regenerate shields and you're away.
Take on the Tie Fighters, blasting
their energy balls as fast as you can.
Then it's the final conflict you
versus the Death Star. Dive into the
trench, bomb along very fast indeed
(brown trousers time) find the exhaust
port, torpedoes running hot an'
steady and blast those slime balls to
hell! Head for the horizon as the
death star vanishes
into rad dust.
Hurrah!
And there you
have it. With great
graphics, wellchosen colours,
nicely drawn characters and
landscapes, hot sound FX, strong
animation and great playability,
measure for measure, Star Wars on
the NES is just as exciting as the film.

Comparing versions between consoles Is hardly fair but since

Krusty appears on PIESand Mega Drive as well, why not?
Viewing the two 16-Bit systems side by side, I favoured the SPIES
version. The colours and shading seem a bit more intense, maybe
due to the wider color palette, and having more sound channels
seems to tree up more for use when a digitized voice speaks.

original computer chip and arm
Skynet was based on, and eliminate

21st Century and get changed for the
global thermo-nuclear lads versus

(Chewing your toenails without any
teeth perhaps? Ed)
Although it doesn't follow the movie
storyline too closely, this game's a right
royal ripper. In the first couple of levels
lump into John Conner's shoes to shoot
up as many nasties as possible and save
the earth a couple of times. Then become Arnie as the
Terminator and ride around on the Harley Davidson! As
you might expect there's lots of shooting so anyone
who isn't a shoot-tem-up fan will soon find the game
tedious. There's plenty of ammo and a constant
battering from the multitude of meanies. Visually the
game's slick with small, but well animated 1-800s
running around and detailed backdrops on all levels.
The soundtracks reasonable, too, but will soon annoy
anyone sitting around you! Terminator 2 J u d g m e n t
Day is a great film licence converted well onto the
Game Boy. Whether you're an Arnie fan or just love a
good blast, this is for you. S H A D E S 78%

won't have to break the bank to play it
either! Anyone who's ever played Smash Wwill know
how addictive the game is with its constant blasting and
power-ups. If this is your first encounter with this arcade
masterpiece you've got a real treat in store. The game
works best as a two-player with the mass murder of all
the enemies being split between them. It's great fun
when y oulet a prize screen, rushing about trying to
pick up all the pressies before your opponent does. If
you play a one-player game Super Smash TV does lose
some of its excitement and addictiveness. All arcade
freaks have got to see this game for themselves. If it's
nonstop shootem-up action with a hint of tacky game
show you're after (you weirdo!) this is the c al for you!

Hook is a sickeningly cutesy game

with fairy dust sprinkled everywhere,
but no Nanette Newman and her

can be found littered about the ground.

track her down.
Collect special items or complete
certain tasks to get off levels. In the
first tree house level basketballs had to
be thrown and points scored before
Peter was allowed out of the exit
originality lives on!
Hook is a fantastic feature film but it
doesn't translate very well to console.
You occasionally get one that does the
platform adventure game extremely
well but Hook just isn't one of them.
The brilliant film is all that will sell this.

Digitised delights
The control method really suits the
SNESjoypad, making WWF an
absolute pleasure to play. Some of
the more difficult moves, like the
clothesline, take a while to master but
it isn't long before you're prancing
round the ring with all the grace of a
rabid rhino!
Digitised animation's amazing and
the sprites huge. Acclaim have done a
brilliant job of capturing the thrills and
spills of WWF Wrestling and
transferring them to the small screen.
The heavy metal sound track
injects real atmosphere into the
proceedings and the intro screen's

one of the best I've ever seen! Mixing

and matching tag partners is a nice
touch.

Natural disasters

addictive it'll be a long time before
you get bored of inflicting GBH with
intent on your mates!
Did you ever wonder who would
come out on top if the Natural
Disasters fought each other? Now you
can find out! My only quibbles are that
in one-player mode the game's a little
disappointing.
It'd be better to have a league and
work your way through the ranks to
reach world number one. Still, you
can't have everything! For two players
this game is superb! Get yourself a

options for three of your weapons at the start of the
game and a practice selection for levels one to four.

As stunning as it all sounds on paper.
I can't help but be disappointed with
the final product. The three-play
modes are designed to add to
lastability but unfortunately each is
shallow and you're likely to find it all
too easy.
The graphics and sonics are not
up to EA's usual high standard.
However, as this is the first time EA
have not lived up to expectations, and
because me and MI are virtually
second cousins, I'm going to indulge
in a tinsy winsy spot of nepotism and
give Jordan vs Bird 100%, a gold star,

So guess what quest lies in store for

the unsuspecting adventurer in
Castlevania 4? Kill anything that
moves, romp around a spectre-ridden
castle, collect lots of power-up tingles
and rescue anyone who looks vaguely
wimpy!
Our brave hero starts with nothing

the whole background made up of one
sprite that's been

My biggest moan is
that the action is so
slow. Most of the level
is spent whipping the
odd evil being that
crops up and
collecting endless hearts. Then
suddenly things hot up with an end-oflevel smeg 'ed that's tougher than
Gunns' samies diped in the N-Force

Fans of the slash 'n' bash-style
platform game should love Castlevania
4. It lust could've done with a little more
action during the levels to supplement
its excellent graphics, but that's not the
end of the world. Presentation screens
and introduction are simply outstanding
with atmospheric sound and the eerie
scene of Dracula's grave. If you want
to show off your Super Nintendo, this is
one of the games to use.

and excellent

Cestievania 4 is one massive game.

The journey to rescue the hero's girly
takes him through the castle,
underground waterways, slimy bogs
and strange lands. Fortunately there's
a code system that gets you back to
where the daring hero last died.
From the main menu select a weird
password made up of hearts, axes and

below a tomato!
The aim's to guide these idiots from
the entrance of each level to the exit.
Sounds easy, but 'it's what lies
between the two doors that causes
havoc!
The powers that be have set traps
for our numbskulls and the landscape's
plastered with Lemming-licking
dangers high hills to leap from,
rivers of lava to cross and icy plains to
freeze their cotton socks off!

Gi'us a job!
So how diya guide a hundred tiny
Lemmings through the perils in store?
Easy! Take a leaf out of Ed's book, get
out yer whip and make the rat-finks
work!
Pick a job icon, with [X] and [Y] or
move a cross-hair over the screen to
get 'em climbing, floating, digging,
bashing and building bridges. But, get
the timing wrong, and all you're left
with is an ex-lemming. Move along the
rambling landscapes with the cross
hairs or use [LI and [A].

board with 100-plus levels, split into
f our diffi c ulties FUN, TRICKY, TAXING

and MAYHEM.

The first few are so easy even Ed

got her head around them and that's
a major achievement believe me
(careful dog-breath Ed)! These easypeasy levels don't last long before
things heat u p with
lashings of tricky layouts and mind-bending
puzzles to leave your
brain in a soggy mess!
Either battle against
the clock in one-player
mode, or annihilate a mate in a twoplayer head-to-head which splits the
screen down the middle and creates
Iwo free-scrolling play areas. You get
your own set of suicidal-maniacs but

instead of concentrating on saving your

team, sabotage the other's rescue
attempts by placing bombers on
bridges, digging deep pits and other
horrors!
I've been addicted to this game
since it first appeared on the Amiga
(cut the blasphemy Ed). This version
seems identical, except
the screams of the dying
lemmings are terribly
muffled but this hardly
makes the game any less
playable.
Lemmings will always
have a place on the computer game
honours list for being so downright
original. If you haven't experienced the
Lemmings invasion yet, it's about time
you did! S H A D E S 90%

Its just so
downright

Brilliantly animated cartoon intro

Smile if you love Lemmings: Well I've got a

grin from ear to ear (slightly fixed) cos this
is a beaut! No pulse beams or death rays,
just cute little lemmings, with amusing
green hair, falling to their deaths. I enjoyed
the falling-to-a-squashy-end bit so much it took me a
while to realise you actually had to try to save the suicidal
rodents! This makes things a bit more tricky and a lot
more frustrating! Darting around the nicely drawn
screens with increasing desperation, using the cursor to
blow 'em up, turn 'em into climbers, diggers, floaters,
builders, bashers, blockers and... bonkers is what you'll
be after a couple of levels. In fact it's surprising how
lemming-like you become, as the addiction bites,
returning, regardless of your mental health, for more and
more and._

I suggest this sad character is out

to con the paying public into thinking
he's well 'ard.
I intend to expose him for what he
really is: a member of the Jim Bowen

yellow tank-tops, purple flares, has
sideboards your granny would be
proud of and platforms bigger than
Glasgovits Central Station. Come

you really are Graham!!!

comes in, where we pay lip service

Gungho, chin, chin

Indecent exposure

I would just like to say how much I

admire Mr Gunns. He's the fearless
gung-ho type that's sadly lacking in
today's society. I really enjoy his
reviews and look forward to reading
more of the same in issue two Bang'
Bang! Keep up the good work. By the
way, what does S.O.B stand for?

It could stand for whatever you

want, really. I remember the day we
all got a pay cut to help towards
the cost of Ks plastic surgery. We
began by sobbing and ended up
calling our beloved R something to
do with sons and female dogs. It
could mean: Sod Off Brainless,
Stupid Old Bag! Or that other
curious Americanism
sSumgbitch', which is what we
always called our maths teacher
behind her back. Okay?
SOB-Ed

Dear SOB,
The infidel you call Gunns is a
complete fraud. I know, I had the
misfortune to be at school with him.
So I know the nearest he's been to a
gun in his short, depraved life, is the
time when Miss Fossdyke lent him the
starter pistol at the infant's sports day.

Are games real life? I ask this

question while shooting a mutant
avocado in Super Beverly Sisters 3.
My problenn's that I can't put things
into perspective since buying an SNES.
If my mother comes in my room
with a cup of tea, I don't know whether
to blast her Carmen Rollers or
welcome her with open arms. If my
father bullies me into getting out of
bed, I'm not sure whether to collect 12
gold coins from his toupe or make
pleasing remarks about his Marks and
Spencer nightwear.
It's lucky I've got Mario and Luigi,
who visit me every day. We have
lashings of ginger beer and make
merriment way on into the early hours!
Mr R. Type. Iggys Castle,
Vanilla ton
PS. I think your mag's great, can you
tell me what it's called?
Look, I know damn well Mario and
Luigi hate yer guts (and can you
blame them?). I'd suggest the
following plan of action, you poor
deluded Grahamish type imbecile:

Ace in the hole

Dear SOB,
Okay. I've read it all now, and I
thought it was pretty good, with the
exception of Ace. Who is this Ace?
Why is his head so enlarged with egomania? I don't believe for a minute
that he knows the first thing about any
Nintendo system, let alone how to
play the games. He sounds to me like
the kinda person who thinks Mario is a
blue hedgehog.Tell him from me, that
I think he's an Ace Hole,
Yoshi Kawasaki, The Bike Centre,
Tokyo
Sorry, but I'm just the finest
gamesplayer in the country. I can't
help being modest, charming and
amazingly dexterous and I do it
with both hands, too.
SOB-Ace

Confused

Dear Mr S.O.B
As a long time reader of your brilliant
mag (ever since page one y u p , that
long ago). I have nothing but praise
for this amazing phenomenon that is
N-FORCE. But I'm slightly mixed up.
Now come you're already printing
readers' letters when this is the first
issue?
Ms Con Fused, Puzzled Street,
Muddle,
Dork (or is that dork-ess?)! Don't
you know anything about new
magazines? We go out on the
streets and canvass people for
their comments. Okay, I'm telling
porkies. N-FORCE is so damn
good, up to the minute and
on the ball that it gets
there before
it left!

We've got the lull top game charts

from Virgin, a run down of bits for yer
Game Boy and for the insatiable out
there, gen up on Maxivision's 15-inone SNES game cart full exclusive
look!
Don't miss out on the next great
issue of Britain's newest, brightest
unofficial magazine for Nintendo
game fiends! It's N-FORCE!
