1 A$=A$+"vertically and is displayed in glorious monochrome. There are#five levels in all (multiload if you're a 48k owner!) and each#one is filled with nasties just dying to be punched,kicked and#jumped at! Watch out though,'cos the nasties aren't all unarmed!"
1 A$=A$+"planes! There was a two players at once option in the arcades,#as to whether this survives in the Speccy version,we'll have to#wait and see. Take a look at it in around September for `8.99."
1 A$=A$+"is an inside job (Groan! ED.) and you have to destroy four of#the creatures main internal organs with the parts of four super#weapons which are found in the things squidgy bits. But watch#out for the anti-bodies,which will try to kill of the infection!"
1 A$=A$+"famous landmarks including the Whitehouse,the Kremlin and the#Sydney Opera House. You must,however,beware of running out of#time and must avoid water at all costs as this may put out your#torch with which you light the fires and this will signify the#end of your game."
1 A$=A$+"drop bombs,which will either hit you and kill you or create#explosions for you to run into and kill yourself. Also,there is#the fuel level to watch,because if you run out,your 100mph buggy#slows down to Reliant Robin speed!"
1 A$=A$+"and complete tasks by hitting the various icons that fall down#the screen at intervals. Once twelve are collected,Hercules#goes on to fight the Minotaur and win his forgiveness."
1 A$=A$+"added a different plot and graphics and spruced up all the#packageing and re-released the old game......no,sorry,I was#fibbing! It is actually very different. Different speed (a bit#faster), different graphics (a bit better), different price (a#bit more affordable), ad nauseum. Review next month, I think."
1 A$=A$+"Use the alkali to neutralise the acid puddle!##To finish the game,you'll need the destruct code from the#nuclear reactor room. But do remember what happened at#Chernobyl and wear the correct equipment!"
1 A$=A$+"The MASK II and URIDIUM pokes were specially for Michael#Felisberts of London who requested them! More next month with#tips for DARK SIDE and WHERE TIME STOOD STILL! Byeeeeee!"
1 A$=A$+"PALACE is doing BARBARIAN II and letting you play the bird with#the bikini if you want. And rumour has it that FIREBIRD is#converting the ATARI ST game VIRUS to the Speccy! Well, i'll#believe it when I see it, the ST game depended on ace colours!#Time to go now, byeeeeeeeeeeeeee...(click).. Mel Newsroom."
1 A$=A$+"Make sure you get a new weapon on every stage of every level or#you won't be able be able to kill of all the anti-bodies. The#parts of the super-weapon are generally in the same places on#levels two to four as they are on level one. The maps to levels#two to four are also the same as the maps to one and two,so you#only need to map one level. Finally,when you meet the organ,#KEEP MOVING OR YOU'RE DEAD MEAT!"
1 A$=A$+"MASK 2 (ENERGY + LIVES) - 47855,35:47856,91:42829,0:# 42831,0:43122,0:44944,0:41560,0# 41561,0:45325,0:45326,0#"
1 A$=A$+"If you find the stool,it'll help you get up a steep cliff in#Asia. Just drop it and climb onto it,the flag is a few rooms to#the left. The spanner will stop the fountain from working,#allowing you to pass. The axe cuts down the tree in North#America and allows you past to the flame."
1 A$=A$+"Gosh! July already! Doesn't time fly! Thanks for all of your#orders,the service now being back to normal speed and getting#those tapes out at high speed! Also,thanks to everyone who has#written with offers of programs for us to publish. We'll be#getting back to you as soon as possible and be putting some on#the mag as soon as we can! Glad to see that everyone enjoyed#last months adventure too! Watch out for a sequel in the near#future! More later,now,on with the mag! ED."
1 A$=A$+"##Yet another side-on racing game,but this one must be the worst#yet. The game moves so fast that you'll be dead before you can#blink,let alone press a key,and the graphics are totally bull,as#is the scrolling which is incredibly jerky. If you see this one#in your local shop,LEAVE IT THERE! RON."
1 A$=A$+"##Yeah,well I don't mind maze games,but in normal maze games you#get different mazes on each level! After the four bits that make#up level one,all of the mazes are the same! Graphics aren't bad,#but once you've played for half an hour,you won't want to play#again for a while. Not bad if you like this sort. RON."
1 A$=A$+"##SOLDIER OF LIGHT fails because it's so different from the#arcade machine. In the arcade,you had about seven planets and#you could choose where you wanted to start. Also in the arcades#there was decent scrolling,which sadly isn't provided here. All#this goes to make a poor effort at a conversion. Better not mess#up ALIEN SYNDROME or i'll never forgive you,ACE! RON."
1 A$=A$+"##Gosh,this is the worst game i've seen from GREMLIN for a very#long time! The graphics on the backdrops are great but that is#where the good stuff ends! Everything is so slow and boring that#there's no way you'll be going back after ten minutes. Sorry#GREMLIN,but this ones a real let-down. RON."
1 A$=A$+"##DESOLATOR is really just a GAUNTLET clone with a mac on (JOKE!)#and looks pretty dull. The game runs quite slowly and the hero#doesn't always respond to your commands as quickly as he could#do,but it's not bad for half an hour. Overpriced at `8.99. RON."
1 A$=A$+"##CODE MASTERS' Oliver twins have really excelled themselves with#this one,possibly the best release from the company yet. It's#very similar to DIZZY,but with more locations and better#graphics,plus the puzzles are hell of a lot harder! Well worth#the asking price,and all for a good cause too! RON."
1 A$="Yes,well,it's all getting a bit boring now. I'm not saying it's#ACE's fault,but SOLDIER OF LIGHT wasn't the ideal conversion,the#arcade machine relying on amazing graphics and colour,which the#Speccy can't provide. What you get is a jerky,monochrome blast#with very little in common to the arcade machine. Not a very#good conversion,try again later. YAZ."
1 A$="Why does U.S.GOLD insist on changing the names of its arcade#conversions? Personally,I would have been quite happy with HALLS#OF KAIROS as in the arcades. Still,this isn't all that bad,#although the graphics are a bit naff and there are no tunes on#any of the machines. Then again,it's all been done before,so why#bother. Pretty average. YAZ."
1 A$="Well,judging from all of the letters i've had concerning last#month's free game,you all enjoyed playing it and all are very,#very stuck in it! Therefore,i'm going to give this month's#column over to helping a few of you who are stuck. These will be#hints,not a complete solution so there's no worrys if you aren't#stuck or if there are hints for later in the game. If,however,#you want to complete the game yourself,press BREAK now and type#RUN to restart the program,missing out the next two pages. There#will be a follow up to the GREEN DEATH,but as to what it is and#"
1 A$="WHERE TIME STOOD STILL is actually a bit late, 'cos time stood#still at DENTON DESIGNS offices for a year or so and stopped#them finishing the game! It's here now and it's 128 only,so all#you 48 owners bog off or you'll go all green! Gone? Good! Now,#it's all looking very ace with some ace GREAT ESCAPE type#graphics and a constant tune. There are four characters to play#around with (Fnar! ED.) and a map twenty-five times the size of#THE GREAT ESCAPE to explore! Gosh! Also reviewed next month!#HOKAY 48 OWNERS! COME BACK! Just got enough time to say that#"
1 A$="Unfortunately for GREMLIN whose track record was pretty amazing,#HERCULES is really a very boring game. There is no variety,#average sprites and slow reactions. The only good bits are the#two amazing backdrops. GREMLIN is capable of much better! YAZ."
1 A$="To jump the gap,you'll first need some footwear and a suit or#you'll be falling into the void!##The right weapon for smaller plants is weedkiller. Mix this with#some water and put it in a spray can for the ideal killer!##There is no escape from prison,so don't go there!##"
1 A$="The door to STASIS is easily opened by pressing the button.##The card on the bridge can be inserted into the computer to#recieve your instructions for the rest of the game.##Plants are deadly! If you meet one,you only get one move to get#away! If you don't have the right weapon,RUN!##If you want a drink,you'll have to pay for it first!##The Telepod Control is slightly over-run with strangle-vines.#These must be destroyed before Telepod travel can be used."
1 A$="The MULTIFACE POKES FINDER is here! The program on side B (after#the pokes!) will transform most hacks (like the ones on the#start of side B and the ones printed in other,less worthy#magazines!) into Multiface pokes for you to use. First,load it#up and read the instructions,then,use it to your hearts content!##NOTE:This won't make sense now,but it will once you've read the# instructions for the utility!##REMEMBER...Make sure the poke program has been run and the code#poked into memory BEFORE you load the routine."
1 A$="The Budget and Full Price Charts - June 1988##Well,if you're looking for an exciting chart i'm afraid you're#looking in the wrong place! The charts over the past year have#been too boring for words! What's wrong with everyone? Can't you#buy some different games? Although we have some more good games#in the full price chart this month,we've lost ATF and ROLLING#THUNDER,two amazing games that deserved to do better,and we're#still holding on to MATCH DAY II,a totally BULL game! And why is#OUTRUN still number 2? I daren't even think about the budget#charts! Take a look for yourselves!"

1 A$="R-TYPE? Isn't that some kind of car? Well anyway,in R-TYPE from#ELECTRIC DREAMS it's an arcade machine...? The arcade game was a#NEMESIS rip-off and wasn't really very good,although a lot of#people would shoot me for saying that. It did,however,have some#amazing graphics and scrolling and lots of action (if you liked#it,that is....) and that's probably why it's being converted.#And guess what......it's in COLOUR! Gosh,Cwikey,Flip me,Stone#the crows,Whoopeedoo! And I can't see a lot of clash either,#just like KARNOV! Can't wait! Out for about SEPTEMBER at `9.99!"

ELITE did#the original 1942 conversion way back in 1986,but it's GO! who#have grabbed the rights to the follow up game.

1 A$="Many of the recent CODE MASTERS games have been below standard,#so it's nice to see a return to good games for this charity#release.

1 A$="MARAUDER is from HEWSON,so it'll be very good and it's out now#at `7.99. (Wait a minute! I want a bit more than that or you're#fired!) Alright,you persuaded me!

Basically,you just whizz around and#blast anything and everything that dares to get in the path of#your tank-like craft. Yes,a tank!

1 A$="HERCULES - GREMLIN / REVIEW CODE NUMBER - 0000078##Hercules was an all round muscle-man and a do-gooder until one#day,he was bewitched by the God Hera and made to kill his own#children. So sad was Hercules when he discovered what he had#done that he called to the Gods and said he would do anything#for their forgiveness. So,Hercules was set twelve tasks and only#when complete could he be forgiven. All this boils down to a#sword fighting game in which you have to beat up the skeletons#"
1 A$="Gosh,what a month! There's hardly anything to give tips on!#Still, for those of you who've bought THE RACE AGAINST TIME,#here are a few handy hints about what to do with the objects.#To get past the elephant in Africa,you'll need the cheese from#Europe. Drop it next to the elephant and a small mouse will#scare it off! The umbrella will protect you from the leaky dam#in Europe. The coat lets you pass through the snow storm safely.#To get past the falling stone in the pyramid,go right to the#wall and jump up. The stone above you will rise. Now run left.#"
1 A$="Gosh,what a messy cover on this one! Quite brilliantly drawn!#Unfortunately,the game doesn't really live up to the standards#of the cover,as it turns out to be yet another shoot and blast#maze game. The graphics are nothing to write home about,although#there are some colourful bits on the menu screen,but there isn't#really enough in it to keep you at your keyboard. Nice try,but#it didn't quite come off as planned. YAZ."
