COVER GAME
Virus

When the world saw Zarch on the Archimedes, it was said it could never be converted. But, it could, it was and it's been renamed Virus. We got our little paws on it and lo, we were amazed! Read all about it and check out the demo on tape

MEGATAPE 6

More and more! When other people aren't doing any tapes at all here we are at Sinclair User giving you more different things than ever before! Side A has Hewson's 3D masterwork Astro Clone and the usual Pokes. Side B is a bumper Demos Special! A playable demo of Motorbike Madness from Mastertronic - loads of action, then you get two scrolling, moving, totally wonderful additional demos of, first of all the totally wonderful Virus and then last, but not least, the equally wonderful Barbarian II - see it in action for the first time! Generous to a fault I call it

PREVIEWS

We got lots and lots, despite it being the middle of summer and nobody's releasing anything. Best of all we got a great big R-Type preview with lots of pictures! Other great stuff; Typhoon, Carrier Command and loads more ...
