We've got EVEN MORE THAN LAST MONTH, ON THE LATEST GAMES! We also explain the plot of the PLAYABLE DEMO BARD'S TALE so that even we can understand it. You get hours worth of play. PHEW

PREVIEWS

We've got even more pages of 'em! More info, more pictures, more generally wonderful hot stuff than any other magazine. Including lotsa new stuff, the odd new logo and lotsa new games including: Crazy Cars, Flintstones, Bard's Tale, Action Force II, Soldier of Light and Renegade II

FEATURES

True Stories
A new look to News. We bring you the excitingly different, irritatingly round the wrong way, a bit like a newspaper in a way, totally unique, sure to be copied HOT POOP on who is doing what with what to whom when how and using rubber devices

3 Classic Games
No, no, no, not all adventury type things are boring. Some are brilliant. In particular the trilogy of games created by Gargoyle Games, featuring animated mythic heroes, fights and magic were just fantastic and Classics of their time. They've just been re-released at a paltry £1.99 and we think you'll luv 'em

Smash Coupons
Four great big, juicy, succulent, steaming, throbbing (Em, are you sure about this? - GT) well OK possibly not actually throbbing then, but certainly mega value for money discounts on MAJOR games

Coin-Ops
This has got be the newest, brightest feature in town! Find out what you should be spending your 20p on, what everybody else is spending their 20p on, what will be converted on to the Spectrum in all its multicoloured multi-action glory real soon now we hope ...

Movie Madness!
Exclusive!(Nobody else could care less) The games based on the film licences they dare not tell you about. SEE the horrible screen shots! READ the horrible text! GASP! SHOCK! BARF!

KAMIKAZE KARTOON
You begged us, you pleaded, you offered large sums (and we have all the names and addresses), you demanded to know why our resident psychopath bear didn't have his own cartoon. Now he does and the awesome truth is revealed ...
