FREDERICK POHL'S GATEWAY
rederick Pohl’s Gateway was acclaimed as being the most influential sci-fi concept since 2001 AD. In this graphical spectacular you take the role of mercenary-cum-prospector on an ancient, preordained
| mission searching for knowledge and technology.
If you discover the terrible secret which lies in the vastness of space, you will immediately be locked into battle with a ruthless race of usurpers.
This is stunning RPG with hundreds of venues and an abundance of alien races to interact with.
Designed by graphical/adventure design leader, Legend, the game will feature first on PC in the summer with other formats planned in ’93.
Game Boy version is expected in the autumn, again from Capcom.

osing! You know the feeling, it happens when you are burned off by a Porsche Carrera at the traffic lights. Well, now you can experience completely the opposite
game.
sensation with Indy Heat.
Here you'll find yourself strapped into the seat of a powerful Indy car as you attempt to race through 10 circuits. There are five cars on the track during every race and this means
that there will always be a computer
opponent around to annoy you during
each race, even with the three-player mode active.
The races consist
of a number of laps, each unique to a particular circuit. When you have completed them all you'll be awarded money, the amount depending on the position in which you eventually finished. These winnings can be spent on various upgrades to make your car perform even better on the day.
For that turbo boost buy these, to activate push up on the joystick

getting a bigger petrol tank. Now you

TEARING UP THE TARMAC
This gorgeous looking car is driven by you, which is
why it is currently losing the race!
f) Watch here for a white flag to be waved. When it is = then you have only one more lap in which to come

This can prove to be a vicious circle Decause you need to travel quickly to win races, but to get the speed you'll have to win. Ah! Isn't life tough!
Upgrades include the usual objects ch @s engines and brakes, but you can

MONEY MAKES THE WHEELS GO ROUND
For each of the races you'll be given a full tank of fuel which wouldn’t normally last a whole race. This results in the need for a pit stop to refill your car.
If you had managed to buy better fuel consumption however, then you may just last the whole race.
One thing that is really fun about the pit stops is that you can make the computer cars stay in their pits longer by storming in and knocking them off the jacks, forcing them to turn around and get back on them again.
In the meantime you can have made your stop and gone. This is an ideal way to gain positions in the race.
The controls for the game are really
simple. Fire accelerates, left and right allow turning and a brief tap
up on the joystick
will ignite

the screen, the colour at the top is the lead car and

Fer me nothing will ever replace SuperSprint in the overhead race game league, but Indy Heat comes pretty close. As a one-player game this is fun and addictive, but when played by two or three people this is the business.
Having never seen the arcade version | cannot comment on how good the conversion is but if it is as good as this I shall certainly be searching for it.
Graphically the game is superb with brilliantly detailed backgrounds and well animated cars, even though they are a little out of scale.
The cars even get smaller as they get nearer the back of the screen, this is an excellent touch, making Indy Heat that little bit more realistic.
Between each of the 10 races you'll find the worst graphics in the game, but they still prove to be of a better standard than most games around!
Soundwise this is also excellent with plenty of samples playing throughout the races. The tunes that play both on the title screen and between races are both up-beat and perfect for a game of this style.
After the disappointment of Big Run the Sales Curve has picked itself up very well. All fans of throbbing engines shouldn't be without this game.
LOE 9 OllT | WARY £25.99 OUT y
Sadly the ST version has got
one thing against it which
the Amiga didnt - SuperSprint to contend with! However, the game is every bit as enjoyable as the aforementioned A500 version.
The graphics are identical to the Amiga version - as we've come to expect in games nowadays. Equally as predictable, the sound effects are of a lower quality.
if you're a fan of racing games buy this as soon as possible.
£25.99 OUT FEBRUARY ee The C64 version is every bit C “as good as its 16-bit al counterparts. The graphics aren't of the same standard, but the
sound and gameplay make up for this. Worth every penny of the asking price!

The graphics all serve their purpose but the animation of the host and contestants leaves a lot to be desired. All characters move their hands in a very jerky and slow manner anc maybe the game would
have been better off without them.
The sound is as you'd expect with plenty of buzzes and little ditties to signify a right or wrong answer, not to mention a fairly accurate rendition of the theme tune.
This is OK but what lets the game down is having to type in the answers — a careless misspelling could lose you cash. This is very annoying and prevents me from recommending the game to anyone. Avoid!

You initially control the quarterback,
the ball is snapped back by tapping B. Before this you select the play. Choose to run the ball and it will be passed off to one of your backs (half-back or full-back).
Choose to throw it and the top of the screen will be filled with the QB’s view. Three wide receivers will be open for the throw and tapping Y, B and A will lob it to the respective catcher.
You must then run the pass to gain 10 ec yards and the first down. This is basically how you must progress until you reach the other team’s end = zone, making first downs as you go along.

Why do programmers insist on writing vomit-inducing cute platform games? | The latest to arrive in the office is Crocodile World. This is another of
those games in which you have to bash a large hole in the platforms with your huge hammer and wait for the nasties to fall through.
Upon completing their tumbling routine you can go up to them and give them a good thwack to kill them. That, as they say, is it. Pretty simple, eh?
Well, the programmers have added loads and loads and loads of little touches to the game to make your progress that little bit tougher.

As is the case with most games nowadays there are end- of-level nasties for you to kill after making your way through a certain number of levels.
In the first world this takes the shape of a whip wielding ape which must be dropped through holes a fair few number of times before deciding te to call it a day.
The graphics are very cute indeed; all the sprites smile as they roam around the screen and look as though they belong in a cartoon.
All the backgrounds are well drawn and presented in such a way so as not to

Sound is unbelievably jolly, in fact so much so that after a while the tune becomes very” annoying _ indeed. However the spot effects are very good and more than make up for this.
This is a fairly good platform game that will appeal to all younger players, but sadly the lastability is questionable due to the immense number of continue
options you are given. XxX

The white bar - the notice significant differences in the way the sweet spot — gets progressively smaller, and ball reacts
PUTTING
For each hole, remember the green speed, This is vital. Undulations on the greens make the hole tough, but knowledge of the speed can help you try to overcome these problems and not drop so many shots.
Always put up the wireframe to guess the contours of the green, and double check the line by chosing the 180 degree viewpoint from the hole. Then simply aim the ball according to where the green slopes, taking into account further hazards after the initial one, and putt
Hitting early in the sweet spot results in more backspin exerted on the ball. This stings the ball, and is the most valuable tip to learn in this game, Hitting the ball in the right area of the because the ball lands near its intended target with sweet spot is useful too. It is good for little extra forward motion. getting over unavoidable hazards
It’s ideal for those little chips onto a small such as rivers or bunkers as quickly as green. Aliso, a sting shot in rough or sand, or behind _ possible. it also ensures the ball a raised area, allows for a better chance of success should travel further, albeit lower
The way you attack the ball depends entirely on how you see the green shape and speed. if fast and downhill, hit less than the centre marker on the bar. If uphill, hit harder. If slow and uphill, hit harder still.
' This is really self-explanatory, but remember undulations in the path. So if you have to go over a ridge, and the hole’s on the other side, hit to get enough momentum to get over the ridge, but not too much to carry far beyond the hole
CROPROSE GOLF PLAYER'S GUID
Invaluable also for the more experienced Practice these first because they can go players is the controlled use of hook and badly wrong. You'll soon be able to negotiate slice.

as many as battling through the wood
Trees should be avoided at all costs, but you’re bound to land in them from time to time. Never risk chipping through a swathe of trees, even if the ball gets past one, it’ll probably hit another.
If the green is on the other side of a narrow strip, give it a go. Arolling chip shot should get you on or near the green, but out of the trees. If in doubt, use a wedge, avoid all trees and chip back onto the fairway. Safe shooting, it may lose a shot, but not

BL: Bunkers require a wedge. Never use a wood or lower iron, even if the computer selects it for you. Hit the ball on or before the centre of the sweet spot. If the ball is plugged, put more backspin on to chop the ball out of the sand
Rough should be tackled in a similar way to bunkers. Never use a wood. In heavy rough, use a high iron or wedge, but light rough can be dealt with a low number iron, although this is still risky
PARTICULARLY NASTY HOLES, AND HOW TO DEAL WITH THEM
The Games-X Ryder Cup team offers handy hints for a few of the most agonisingly tricky holes
This requires one heck of a wicked first shot. Don’t be intimidated by the water or the trees though, and aim into them to the right edge.
Use a driver at full swing, which should easily cover the water, and try to hit direct or hook to the

After you've landed safely, just make a soft chip to the edge of the fairway to line up the approach to the green. If you're feeling adventurous and fancy attempting an eagle, move your feet position and attack the ball so that it slices strong right, around the trees to land on the green, or near by
Although small, this hole causes all sorts of problems. The underlying fact behind this being the player can’t see
a exactly what’s ahead. Use the zoom icon a to check it out, the green is deceptively
further away than you'll bargain for.
Over the hills is a bank of trees, followed by a deep depression of heavy rough. The proffered eight iron may give too short a distance, but others hit too hard will result in an all too easy out of bounds. Accuracy is paramount
referred, but a running ball won’t make too much difference if you've aimed accurately. The green has a slight slope though, so don’t forget to take the varied topography into consideration
Caution is required when chipping onto the green proper. It’s surrounded by bunkers, and further out, both trees and rough. So hit the ball less strongly than normal, stinging the ball by hitting early in the white area to prevent it rolling into trouble.
To make things worse, if you do miss the green, you'll find it to be raised causing further headache, especially if you're in the bunker
Bm, So use a seven iron and hit the ball low, stinging it so any forward motion as it lands is reduced. If you fail to land on the green, then a sweetly hit wedge should see you out of the gutter, but remember the slope and the fact that this is very heavy rough. Then polish off the hole with a strangely plain and simple green

The second being how the heck are you meant to free your big hunky Japanese speaking friend on that level? And the third query is after you've nailed the bad Japanese speaking aliens which come either side of you at the bottom of the stairs, are you meant to fall down the big gap or something? Richard Cooke, Middlesborough.
Dr X: Well Dick, | almost had the same problem but I’m not as bad a games player as you. Firstly, in the catacombs, go right down to the bottom. Blast the triangular rock and dash past the falling rocks and nasties on the floor.
Blow a hole at the end and dash back, making sure to take the higher route when returning. Shoot the hanging bat, it'll dash off and be gobbled, then leap from stalactite to stalactite.
This is the split in the tunnel. The big problem is how the heck can you run to the other side without being pulped, as shown here. The answer ~ find out yourself
Get back up, do the water flooding routine, and then do what you're trying to do now. By the way, the fireball monster is easy to destroy. Before the three walls put up a shield, then edge forward and the shield will stop the guy shooting and he'll let off the balls. Run back, the door will shut, the ball will bounce and bye bye lumpy! Am | good to you Dick, or what?
Please will you give me a full copy of the Secret of Monkey Island player’s guide because I am very stuck and I love adventure games? So please, please will you give me The Secret of Monkey Island?

PS Could you please tell me when you're going to review or print the solution to Delphine’s Another World?
Ben Brockbank, Huddersfield.
Dr X: | must congratulate you Ben, a query for Cruise for a Corpse which doesn’t leave me as confused as the letter writer; nice, concise and to the point. Look out for our five page player’s guide for Another World.
What you've got to do is visit the Father's cabin, take his pocket watch and examine it. Then pop outside and ask Julio about it. Visit Hector in his study, then chat to Father and Daphne. Go to the bar and ask Suzanne about Mercades.
Then ask just about everyone about her and you'll hear some juicy stories. That’s all I’m gonna tell you for the mo, but it'll whet your appetite to get you further.

—)) wo years ago when
undertaking the project. the
= safe bet for game designers
was to produce rear-view, car race titles and cutesy platform games.
But ARC was perceptive enough to realise the potential of the visual effect. Fast moving, low-level scrojling was first seen in the likes of Paul Woake’s classic Mercenary. Telecomsoft’s Sentinnel: and Microprose’s Realscape series such as Dark Side.
All these projects had one thing in common — they were viewed from a first-person perspective, ie as if one was piloting from the cockpit of a hovercraft or some similar low- level floating vehicle.
The inspiring thing about Cyber Assault is that you can view this world through the eyes of a real, visible being, thereby enhancing the RPG potential of a ground level, 3D scape-scrolling world.
The. project designer first devised the technique by videoing his athletic nephew, running, trotting and walking.
His next step was to digitize the movement of the muscles, bone
structure and general body position as he moved across the ground.
The team’s next objective was to work on a 3D world and the human figure was introduced into the harmonious human world.
The visual effect was uncannily similar to that being achieved in the field of Virtual Reality.
Using the engine it doesn’t take a genius to see that it is possible to modify Virtual Reality-style entertainment to home computers.
Gameplay had yet to be decided upon but the obvious choice is an assault course of obstacles and enemy forces because of the athleticism of the figure.
Still in development, the game world currently consists of a series of pathways, various buildings, rivers and terrain detail as well, with unavoidable obstacles strewn around the landscape.
Opponents such as_ snakes, vultures and sharks attempt to maim your athlete.
The most constructive way to look at Cyber Assault is that it has exciting potential’ as a _ Virtual Reality-style game.
lf the technique which can enhance and_ personalize role- playing is taken to a new level of involvement, then surely Cyber Assault shows real promise.

Global Effect, as its name implies, simulates the conflict of interests between the natural human instinct to progress and that most essential priority, the balance of the environment.
The game is designed to simulate the interaction and conflict of economic, industrial and military might.
A player can choose to tackle specific real-life problems such as global warming, industrial pollution or plotting the economic or military race for world dominance.
Alternatively, you can choose to build civilization in a new and unique world environment with totally unknown outcomes.
CREATE A NEW WORLD ORDER
You arrive on a planet, equipped with a vast and powerful computer with command over any aspect of the world.
The next decision is ultimately important. How will your influence change this world?
You can gain access to any part of the globe to survey the islands, continents, coastal regions, desert, forests and mountains.
The overall objective is to build
The many and varied weapons of war are familiar to all game players, simulations available. However, they all take a heavy toll on the environment.
tole while attempting to rule the earth
whole civilizations against all odds.
These odds are the very aspect which maintains modern civilization and so, inevitably, you come up against a constant conflict of interests. There are three types of game scenario.
The first is saving a world in which
you must solve a man-made crisis which threatens civilization and the environment. Alternatively, there’s a more aggressive dictator role in which you compete to dominate the world by either economic or military initiative.
But the most open-ended scenario is the ‘Create a World’ option in which your objective is to build and maintain civilization on planets with a variety of different environments, and you can even

set your own parameters.Whether save, create or rule with an iron hand, your obligation is to maintain the environment and to protect and sustain life. 7
You will need to explore, which ou can do by moving around the terrain and you will learn how to identify, extract and use resources,
Then the task of growth will have you planning, plotting and then building cities, developing technologies as well as planting and clearing forests.
But whatever you do, you will have to balance the equilibrium of the world environment.
OIL IN THE GULF There are many scenarios, such as Post Nuclear, in which you must drag civilization out of a nuclear winter and Post Industrial, which places you ina world almost totally destroyed by industrial pollution.
In both of these you must re- establish the balance of the environment. There’s even a world that is spent and barren from continuous farming and harvesting, and by careful management you must regain the existing civilization and maintain it.
As a usurper, intent on global rule, you must compete against and defeat a rival with similar industrial or military objectives, but your computer competitor will be intent on domination at all costs to the environment.
A military initiative may have you guarding your people while ensuring that you have sufficient resources to preserve your environment. An __ interesting similarity is the damage done by the deliberately torched oil wells in the Gulf.
If you choose to create a world, you begin with a green field planet with varying geographical and environmental characteristics, requiring many different

described as a ‘planet care-taker game’. We are all merely caretakers of this planet, not owners!
It's chillingly realistic! Will we have the initiative to make this world a safe place for our children and grandchildren?
There’s an awful lot to be learnt from Global Effect!

"'d be grateful if you could answer the following question...
@ When the English Super Famicom is released in England will it be identical to the American Super NES ie will it run imported American software without an adapter?
Marc Loyeau, Witney, Oxfordshire.
The Super NES which is to arrive in the UK will be the Japanese version of the Super Famicom and not the American version as it said in X-it last week.
Rumour has it that the Super NES will not be able to run existing Famicom software because of a security chip, which is predominantly designed to stop grey imports of games from the States.
However, as with Sega, it is likely that someone will produce a security decoder cartridge so that Stateside- produced software works with the new machine.

46 GAMES-X 13TH-19TH FEBRUARY 1992
LEBER Recently, there have been letters from people who are considering buying an Amiga or an Atari STE. Each time you have said that the Amiga is better in all departments.
This is true if you are talking about the FM, but the new E has exactly the same 8 channel stereo sound and hardware scrolling and blitter as the Amiga.
The STE also runs slightly faster and costs less, but the best thing about the machine is that it is easier to program on and has brilliant built- in MIDI capabilities. | would be most grateful if you would do more justice to the STE.
PS What is the point of people asking for a T-shirt when they don’t get one? Lewis Haag, Bingley, W Yorks.
£17,000 under your mattress a basic Virtual Reality system could be yours. Failing that VR is spreading throughout the country. So get down to a arcade, you may be lucky.
The variety of games available for Virtual Reality machines is increasing all the time. Last week John and Scoop went off to Goosegate in Nottingham to test the first RPG game on the system. It is called Legend Quest and they haven’t shut up about it since. In fact Scoop is convinced he’s still an elf — the tights aren't very flattering though, but he'll hear nothing said against them! Keep your eyes on Arcade Extravaganza for more info.
What has been said in the past about the STE is that no matter what the machine's capabilities _ software houses do not take advantage of its enhancements as far as games are concerned.
OK smarty, so | may have neglected the other areas you have mentioned, but any previous letters were looking at an STE primarily as a games machine.
Not particularly bright are you? When someone asks for a T-shirt they don’t know that I'm going to say no. Sometimes |'m _ incredibly
generous and send them the desired item, just like now!
3. Do you know when Mario’s going to hit the screens of the wicked PC.
PS | wouldn’t mind a T-shirt.
PPS Dr X is very annoying.
I’ve got loads of questions for ya! 1. Is the game Steg going to come out on the IBM PC? If so, when and for how much dosh?
2. You know that colour Game Boy you were talking about on the first page of Issue 40. Will it take the old Game Boy’s games and if so will it convert them into colour?
What's your damage? (Excuse me? —
IE Unc.) Since you've got the brains of a
constipated rhinoceros, in Dr X’s own
words, (Look Dawn, this letter isn’t shaping up too
well — Unc) it would be nice of you to send me a T- shirt.
My brother is Neal ‘Master of all Games’ Wright and he said he wasn’t gonna grovel. Well guess what, | will (things are looking up — Unc). | just wanna see the look on his face if | get a T- shirt and he doesn't.
So please x1,000 send me one and in return you get a beautiful photo of me (beautiful? You're so funny — Doc) to adorn your tacky wallpaper with. What is your wallpaper like? Maybe it’s the old Paisley green stuff?
Dawn ‘Miss High and Mighty’ Wright, Cranbrook, Kent.
A constipated rhino indeed! Which planet are you from? You cannot possibly expect me to send you anything, least of all a T-shirt. Also there’s nothing wrong with green Paisley wallpaper, it’s been in the family for years.
! suggest that you go away and learn some manners and then write again. Oh,
! didn’t think much of your grovelling either.
PPPS Please print this otherwise | might have to send a maich-box through your letterbox, full of man-eating killer peanuis. Michael Matthews, Beaconsfield, Bucks.
No, no not the peanuts, anything but the peanuts! 1, There are no plans as yet to bring Steg out on the PC. So you’ve got two choices: Wait for the PC version to appear, or go and buy another machine. 2. The new hand held will be able to run the old black and white Game Boy carts. As for them being in colour — nice idea... but ’fraid not! 3. We’ve only just heard the rumour that Mindscape has gained the rights to bring Vario onto the Amiga.
As for the Italian plumber being vailable on the PC, no one is letting on tthe moment, but it is unlikely.
=irst I'd like to say your mag is superb and although it’s quite a while ago, I’m
going to tell you what | had for Christmas: Moonstone, Eye of Seholder and Alien Breed. | also got an Jograde for my Amiga as well.
Now I’ve got to the bit where you answer my questions. (| knew the fun nad to end — Unc.) ® Is it true that US Gold have earned the rights to bring out Sonic on the Amiga? ® Pleeease could you send me issues 20 and 21? Go on | really need them. ® What is the best, Lemmings or Oh No! More Lemmings on the Amiga?
PS | won't ask for a T-shirt because that would’be greedy as | have asked for those magazines.
Dean Ealey, Waterloo, Liverpool.
Sonic will eventually appear on the Amiga, US Gold cannot however begin work until Sega gives the go-ahead, when that will be is anyone’s guess.
Oh No! More Lemmings! was bought out primarily as a data disk to keep Lemmings enthusiasts busy while they were waiting for Lemmings Il to arrive. It consists of 110 extra levels which do get extremely difficult. Don’t say you weren’t warned.
the |
Well if you really need those issues who am | to stand in your way, they're in the post.
I've got a Lynx and I’m desperate to get a magazine which is exclusively for my machine. | mean there are loads of mags for Amiga owners and the same goes for ST owners and PC owners. Please, please, please help me.
Roger Jameson, Lynxville, Lynxshire.
Considering the amount of queries of this nature we’ve received recently, it seems Lynx owners are getting restless and are on the verge of revolution.
Last week someone asked about the mag Atari Lynx User, we hadn't heard of it but news has reached the office that this mag does in fact exist. It’s a fanzine now up to issue four which is filled with reviews, tips and news about the Lynx.
It costs 85p plus postage and packaging, or 50p if you include a SAE. So if you're interested write to 11 Montgomery Drive, Spencers Wood, Reading, Berks RG7 1BG.
TEAM TALK
John has finally returned to the | office looking fit and well after three days of illness. Part of this suffering involved going to see Freddy’s Dead at the cinema! Nothing like wasting money to cheer you up.
_ Fungus has been injured again, this time it is his darling right-hand ring finger that has been got at. Well, he just won't be told mot to play stupid games with big nasty roughie- toughie boys on Saturdays.
