RON." 1 A$="WOW! The graphics on KARNOV are immensely colourful,even though#there is a bit of clash and the large black masks on the sprites#are hardly subtle!

YAZ.##" 1 A$="The first MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE suffered from being..er..crap,#so I approched this one with care. However,GREMLIN's offering is#much better than US GOLD's. The graphics are quite good,although#a bit weird in places. Also,there is plenty of variety,a scrolly#bit,a beat-em-up,a PROHIBITION type subgame and more! Pretty#good in fact!
