1 A its funny bitsand it did have a story, but I'msorry, this film failed to hitthe mark with me. The funniestbit was where Steve said "Don'tforget to secure your condom!".Ideal family viewing. AlthoughMum's would probably enjoy this film more.

1 ( No, not a new machine, justsomething we have noticed. LikeI said a minute ago, Speccysoftware standards have rissen.For example, take Qjeta's musicand some of the effects seen indemos such as NMI3 and OVERSCAN.These demos have been betterthan some of the stuff I haveseen on the Amiga and PC. TheSpectrum may not have the powerof 16 bit machines, but we stillhave the ability to produce goodprograms. Shadow of the Beastwas a hit on the Amiga and whenconverted to the humble Speccy,the only real difference was thelack of colour. Graphically thegame was basically the same andthe music was just as good. IfGremlin can produce such qualitygames on 'A useless 8 bit' whydo people mock the Spectrum??? The main problem with 8 bitmachines is the lack ofinterest. Many 16 bit ownerswill be the first to admit thatthey have owned a Spectrum andenjoy playing on it. So why mustpeople continue to put down ourmachine. We want you to write inwith your opinions on

1 No, No, No! What are Y.S onabout? I think 56% was far toolow. Upon loading, I was greetedby an attempt at an intro. Iadmit, both the music andgraphics are pretty poor here.When the game had finally loadedin (Yes folks, Multiload time!),I thought, Hey, this isn't tobad... For those of you whohavn't played Dr Who yet, youmay be interested to know thatthe overall speed of the game isamazing! The graphics are welldrawn and are packed full ofdetail. Sound is limited to theusual zaps and beeps, but fitsin rather well. Dr Who is a biteasy for the hardened gameplayer, but most people willstill find it enjoyable. If youprefer to try before you buy,why not hire it from theSoftware Hire? (See ads). So tosum up, if you want speed, goodgraphics and playability, get DrWho. Overall: 70%

1 More good reviews of SinclairNews this month. Andy Davis ofAlchNews was very impressed withboth the content and price of'SN'.
1 I said a while ago that therewould be a new PD catalogue outsoon. Sadly, this is no longerthe case. I have decided tochange the Rasputin service andmake it more of a user group.This is whats happening.
