ot pants were certainly the 'in' thing on the


Mario film set in North Carolina after one of
the film crew set his knickers on fire! Mario,
superbly enacted by megastar Bob
skins star of hits like Who Framed Roger
bbit, was walking between gratings which
re gushing huge flames when a sad
hnician began leaping around in agony,
desperately trying to pour water down his
ides.
And this must have been the most expensive
panty fire ever cos after the bright spark crept up
s trouser leg and ignited his boxers, the whole
ene had to be reshot at a cost of El 00,000!
e shooting of the $40 million Super Mario
os film, also starring Dennis Hopper and
ected by Roland Jaffe, is now complete
spite the set backs.
Bad news though dudes, cos the movie,
ich was shot in the unlikely setting of an empty cement factory. is unlikely to hit the big
eens for Christmas now it's scheduled for release around Easter. Don't miss it we
rtainly won't be!

All the Spider-Man graphics are
very dark and sinister-looking. There's
lots of detail in the backgrounds and
some excellent smooth animation on
the web slinger himself.
Spidey jumps. rolls and swings
through the air perfectly it's a joy to
watch. The atmospheric music
accompanying the action's great too!
The early stages have different
types of gunmen to contend with.
Some stand dead still and lire
they're so stupid Spidey can sneak up
behind them and bop them on the
head! Others flip around but by
ducking, all their bullets miss.
Occasionally a huge gun turns up
with real bone-crunching missiles
these can't be switched off but should
be avoided. Some of the most
annoying energy sappers are the rats!
These lithe blighters are real kamikaze
rodents. They jump from tall platforms
onto Spidey's head, then nibble away!

Barmy boyfriend
I've just bought an NES off my
boyfriend because he's bought a
Sega Mega Drive.
I'd really likeSuper Mario World
but I've been told you can only get
it on the sues. Could you help me
with this one as nobody else wants
to know (round here they're all into
Sega)!
By the way. I think your mag's
great keep up with the very good
work!
Candice Povey, Wrexham,
Clwyd
Nape, sorry, you can't get this
Mario extravaganza for the NES,
but you can get Super Mario
Bros 1, 2 or 3 which are heaps
of fun.
By the way, how can you
possibly stay with a man who's
got a Mega Drive (spit spit?)!
Ed

Hi y'all, how's it hangin'? Well, what


a hectic month it's been Mario
teaching nobby PC users how to
type, more cad releases than you
can shake a stick at and the Big N
taking a massive anti-rental stand.
What do you lot think of this issue,
by the way? I reckon rentals would
be great and if we shout loud
enough we might just get them
introduced. It'd save us a wad of
dosh and cut down on the number of
drossy games currently slinking
around. Drop us a line and let us
know your views and keep those
letters, pictures and poems pouring
in to: ED-LINES, N-FORCE, Europress
Impact, Ludlow, Shropshire, SIT

N-FORCE is the best mag for Nintendo
1 but why can't there be just a
players.
mag only for the NES. There's one for
the Game Boy and the SNES, but I've
never seen one just for us brill people
who own a NES.
Please could you try and do
something about it, and make it clear
that girls read games mags and have
consoles. Maybe you could even get
female staff to review the games.
Lucy Glazer, Fordingbridge, Hants
PS: I've fallen in love with Shades,
he's just the coolest.
Well Lucy (great name), I reckon
there's no dedicated NES mag cos
there simply wouldn't be enough
new releases to fi ll it. At least
N-FORCE still covers 8-bit stuff
(unlike other inferior mags) and fills
you in on all the hottest happenings
so keep reading and you won't go
far wrong.
As to your other comments, what
the hell do you think I am scotch
mist!? I may be a bit odd but I was
still a girl last time I looked and I
want to make sure that more girls
do get into consoles don't let
those fellas have all the fun!
As for falling for Shades, what
can I say but offer my condolences,
you sad, sad specimen!

Keep it simple
Why don't Nintendo incorporate a
junior game within the carts? My fouryear-old nephew loves playing Zelda,
but he doesn't get very far.
It'd be good to have a simple
version especially for youngsters with
maybe three easy levels in which to
defeat Garton. This way both children
and adults could enjoy the same game.
The idea seems obvious and simple
to me, but perhaps it would upset
Nintendo's profits too much for their
liking.
II Robert Charters, Castle Bromwich.
Birmingham
Ha I reckon you just want an easy
version for yourself come on
admit it!
There are different difficulty
levels on most games particularly
platformy types and some, like Big
Nose The Caveman, seem to be
actually aimed at kids.
With adventureiroleplaying
games like Zelda they're really just
too complex to have different
difficulty levels.
Interestingly, the N-FORCErs
were struggling with Zelda: A Link
To The Past and were helped out by
a six-year-old who'd already
completed It so there may be
hope for your nephew yet!
Ed

Console crazy
There was a console-crazy guy from
Hertfordshire who owned a Mega Drive
(spit, spit) with loadsa games, but
something was wrong, He wanted
more from his life. Much more, He
wanted something slick and grey
(ahem). something with a vast range of
colours, something with style (unlike
Shades).
Anyway, to cut a short story even
shorter he sold the Mega. became
Super and lived fiendishly ever after!
1. Does the SNES have more colours
than the Amiga 500?
2. Does Nintendo have any plans
for an F-Zero II?
3, Is there a converter which lets
you play NES games on the sNEs?
4. Will any of you be on the new
series of Gamesmaster?
Please answer these questions and

Total washout!
I thought I'd write giving my thoughts about the magazine and its writers.
Okay, the magazine first. If I said it was much better than Total that
wouldn't be much of a compliment. I don't like criticising people's hard efforts,
but I can make an excuse, or two, for criticising Total and, to an extent,
Computer and Video Games the biggest being their patronising style of
writing please N-FORCE do NOT patronise your audience or you'll lose
them. Treating adults like children isn't conducive to long-term sales.
The tone and style isn't bad and the layout's pretty nigh spot on. As for the
staff, well, here goes nothing:
ACE: get a new nickname as well as a new photo.
ED: I don't want to be sexist but hphwoar perhaps covers it. Are you
married?
GUNN& should be Sad Bastard of the Month/DayMour every
Month/Day/Hour. Doesn't he know that all that pseudo-macho crap is out?
Get a life, son!
OZ: nice writing style, needs a little more authority though.
SHADES: as David Francie once said 'Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear'.
Hope I haven't upset anyone, except Gunnsi Finally, I'd just like to say
how good and great it was to read that MicroProse is supporting the SNES.
I've been a long-time fan of theirs, since I got my Amiga, and if they can
transfer the realism from that to the sNEs, then I'm sure both they and the
Nintendo playing public will all be very happy indeed.
Colin Mitchell, Ayrshire. Scotland.
My dear Collie-baby, would we presume to patronise you, you sweet
young thing?! Seriously though, if anyone tries to patronise me they get
a severe case of tongue-lash so I wouldn't dream of doing it to others.
I'm one of those young, free, single peeps who's totally married to
her job so dream on honey.
Gunns thanks you for your sentiments and would like to introduce
you to his very special friend, can't remember the name... Ugi or Uti or
something... You really upset Shades he actually blinked (but you
couldn't tell cos he had shades on)!
We've had a quick butchers at MicroProse's Super Strike Eagle on
theSNESand I'm sure you wont be disappointed.

He's the sort of guy I'd like to hit
His Aussie tone
Makes me moan and groan
With his didgeridoo
(I'm going to the loo)
And his bendy stick
(I'm going to be sick)
Good grief
Go drown yourself in a coral
reef
You Aussies are all the same
I'd like to make you lame
You're a piece of cack
A right sad old act
But never mind
Someone must like your
mindless drivel
Even if it is only a squirrel.

Sorry Oz, but I hate Minoguelovin' geezers, they drive me mad.


Nice poem eh?
Owain Jones, Machynlieth,
Powys.
Oh well done slap 'ed. Oz was so
upset at your little gem that he's
hanging upside down in the filing
cabinet, gazing fixedly at his Kylie
Minogue keyring and refuses to
come out no matter how much
XXXX and Vegemite
bullies we try
and tempt him
with!

Slum and decay

Based on the hit movie, the


game translates well. They didn't
take the horrific and disgusting
look of the original animation and
turn it into bubble-gum and pink

fuzzy bunnies. The SNES is perfect for


rendering slum and decay its
graphic palette can handle some mean
shading and texture techniques.
Characters aren't huge, but stand
out without any problems from the
background. Animation zips along right
handily ma'am. plenty of frames give a
smooth effect.

The whole of the Pebble Beach

are options for ball tracking,

fter crudging around three hard but enjoyable courses,


'Shades and I returned to the club house to compare
notes. Both Pebble Beach and Waialae use the same
gameplay with a few variations like action replay of
shots. That's because they're part of a series by T & E
Soft called True Golf Classics which aim to bring you the
very best of the world's golf courses in the shape of the
very best games. Which, if you're a golf nut like me, is

great news.

Pat

a s

As for PGA, although it's slick, fast and professional it


just can't compare with the other two. Much more
emphasis is placed on speed and the result's a game
with a very pronounced arcade feel but which lacks

playability.
II you want a good golf game any of these will do if

however you want a great golf game True Golf Classics


are the best choice.

Just to set the record straight, I can
d
confirm that the cheat reluctantly
printed in the last issue to play the
end of level characters does
NOT work. I printed the tip as it arrived at
the last minute from three different sources
but after repeated attempts, resulting in one
broken SNES, Iwo smashed carts, and a very
bruised thumb I gave up. Nintendo deny
such a cheat exits, so my advice is 'don't waste
yer time' and you can quote me on that!

For those having difficulty


scoring goals against Ireland
(the team with the best
0 goalkeeper) dribble the ball
about one inch down the edge of the six
yard box and shoot with [A]. Use your
0

number 10 for best effect. This method

works against the Nintendo teams but you


have to beat the last defender otherwise he
save the ball on the line. Thanks to Zoltan
Szotyori for these tips and he's also kind
enough to send the codes for expert level,
playing as Germany.
Also a begrudging thanks to my little
bruvver, Danny Rice, who's found a way to
swerve penalties so they're almost
impossible to save and it's really peeing me
off! As you approach your penalty, hold
down [L] and [A] and then as you kick apply
after-touch. More cud than a Brazilian perm!

Level 6: Better bringyour thermals

Gremlins 2
Thanks to top tipster. Andy
Clarke from Nottingham who's
been hard at work compiling a
' complete solution to this brilliant
hand-held platform romp. Your efforts have
not gone unnoticed Andy - there's a host of
Deekay UK Game Boy peripherals on their
way to you.

Level One - Inside the CATV studio:

Collect the pencil and musical note and walk


under the first platform. using the musical
note to kill the walking gremlin. Jump into
the tool box which protects you. Be careful
on the fast-moving conveyor belts and jump
onto the second platform to collect an
energy replenishing heart. As the woman
gremlin walks towards you, jump over her.
Climb up the vertical maze, using pencil
notes to kill the gremlins appearing from the
floor. At the top there's another heart. Jump
over the spider when he reaches the top of
the web. Jump the gaps and spring up to the
highest platform. On the far right's a large
heart restoring full energy. Pick it up and use
the platforms to travel over the conveyor
belts below. To kill Mohawk, run across to
meet him, stand your ground and hammer
away on [B]. He soon gets fed up and walks
away.

Level 2 - The Genetics Lab: Use the

spring to bounce across four thorns and


climb the blocks to collect the tool box and a
small heart. Spring up to the third horizontal
platform to avoid enemies. Jump left onto
the two small conveyors and collect the
pencil. Climb the second set of steps and
use the conveyors to avoid all enemies
below. Use the three springs to cross the
high wall. Do this quickly and you wont need
to use the musical note. Once across you
have a choice of two routes. Running along
the ground's easier but try climbing
platforms and springing up to the highest
point. Jump onto the square block and and it
carries you to a large heart.
The Bat Gremlin takes a lot of damage
and releases three small bats after each
descent. When he attacks, push (UP] and
jab him with the pencil from below. Using
this method he soon dies.

Level 3 - The System Control Centre:


Spring from the first raised platform. twisting

M e g a Man IV

across in mid-air, to collect the hidden


pencil. Climb the next set of steps and pick
up the tool box. Journey across the top of
the large laughing gremlin, pick up the
cassette recorder and walk back left,
underneath him. At the next spring , jump
left and collect two more cassette recorders.
After you've killed the fire-spitting gremlin,
use the three springs to get over the high
wall and pick up the cassette recorder.
Cross the platforms into the tunnels,
standing in the gaps and jumping the tire
balls. Kill the fire-spitting gremlin then jump
on the conveyor belts and bounce to the
highest platform and pick up the small heart.
When the end-of-level Electric Gremlin
materialises, stab him with the pencil while
jumping over the lightning bolts.
Level 4: The pencil's essential and can
be found on a block above the second
spring. Climb to the top, go right and you're
faced with three pits full of thorns. Drop into
the pit and pull left on the joypad to land on
the spring. Cross the pits and collect the
small energy heart at the end. Climb the set
of steps made out of conveyor belts to pick
up another heart. Drop down and dodge the
gremlin throwing rocks. Don't waste time
trying to kill him - you can't! Pass
underneath him and spring up to find a tool
box and another small heart,
At the next stone thrower, spring left and
collect the cassette recorder. Do NOT use
the musical note as it's essential to cross the
invisible maze. With the note the maze
becomes visible making fife much easier.
Exit the maze and climb through the vertical
maze of tunnels. Bounce on the springs and
grab the large heart to restore Gizmo to full
strength. Now for the grand finale!
Spider Gremlin's one mean dude. Jump

onto the floating web and dodge the small


spiders as they fall. When you get a clear
shot, aim your trusty bow and arrow at the
spider's head and fire. A couple of well
placed shots and the game's history. Now
take a long rest - you've earned it!

Hi there, I
wanna be
your
special friend.
SHADES puts on a
blonde wig and
goes all girlym
e all remember those hazy
summer days down the
bottom of the garden,
playing with dolls and having
tea parties. What? You don't?
Damn, my secret's out. I'll never
be able to show my face down
the pub again!
Almost every girl's dream
is to become Barbie and live
the life of a jet-setting
glamour model (cobblers!
Ed) (yeah! Clam),
the boys can always
dream of being her
'interesting'
boyfriend, Ken!

This new Barbie game brings the


cutesy chunk of plastic to life in a pink
and fluffy platform game.
Barbie's gone for a snooze to get
all bright and lovely for her big date
with Ken. While asleep she has a
strange dream all about shopping,
mermaids and giant french fries. She
needs the help of all her friends to find
an outfit for the magical Fantasy Ball.
Three worlds have
been created for Barbie, starting with the
shopping mall. There's
an underwater world
wher e t h e b l o n d e
bimbo goes all fi shy
and becomes a mermaid a n d t h e 5 0
soda
1
shop world, packed with sticky
buns
and greasy burgers, but watch
s
out she might go all fat and spotty!
The usual platform bitz 'n bobs are
littered around, with blocks, power-ups
and obstacles to avoid. Barbie's
armed, not with a Uzi 9mm, but with
charms (nice).
Bows, diamonds and hearts have
different effects when thrown at a
friend. Little dogs, birds and cats help

by chasing away meanies and opening


up new exits. It'd be more interesting if
the dogs chased the cats and the cats
mauled the birds!

Carrot coughing
Can someone please pass a bucket
cos I'm going to chuck. This Barbie
game's the worst pile of pus on the NEs
for a long time
The daft damsel
struts around the first
world, all skinny and
lanky with a stupid
pair of white high
heels and wonders
why she keeps
getting knocked over!
Of course, the
loveable character can't die, she just
wakes up from her dream and loses
her sleep. Lets face it. she needs all
the beauty sleep she can get!
Unless you're a sad, wimpy
individual with a fetish for frilly dresses
I'd stay well away from Barbie. In my
view most people would be too
embarrassed to go to a shoe and buy
this anrNayl

Dirty dribbling
The sport has converted well onto the
NES. All the visuals are excellent with
some nice animation and an excellent
sequence where players shoot for a
basket. This flips the view to behind
the back board with balls zooming out
of the screen!
There's reasonable sampled
speech phrases like 'three minutes',
'blocking' and 'take it back have been
digitised in the traditional manner
not bad at all!
Of course, this type of game isn't
much fun on your own, but as a fourplayer extravaganza it's great! Just
select a basketball character to play
with statistics flicking onto the screen
and away you go! There's plenty to
choose from but unfortunately no
women but then basketball was
always highly sexist.
For a great game of basketball with
your NES, have a dribble with

As one of the

American Civil War,
move your limited
forces over a map of
the mid-west. The
map's divided into areas of influence
and a railway track runs through the
middle. Your troops move one area at
a time and the object's to control the
railway and batter the enemy forces.

Is

storming an enemy stronghold,


capturing a train or a pitched battle over
open ground for control of a bridge.
This is where the arcade action
comes in with poor left/right scrolling
beat-'em-ups for the fort and train
sections and the crappiest troop
combat sequences I've seen since the
Spectrum 16K.

Sound strategy
The idea behind this is sound
combining historical scenarios with
strategy and arcade action but lack
of thought lets it down badly.
The graphics just aren't up to
scratch and certain elements of the
game are frustrating beyond belief, You
easily get trapped on the fort-storming
stages with no hope of success.
Really this should have been much
better there's no excuse for
producing games as way on the mark
as this. In short, give this one a miss,

The gameplay's rather limited you just

Red Ferraris eh?


They're no good. You want an
ocean-blue Skoda like
SHADES. That's a real car...
for racing. All that dirty oil,
sweaty helmets and
screeching tyres. Hours of fun
but you need a bath
afterwards! Its better to play the sport
on your Game Boy!
Car driving console games come in
two styles. There's the aerial view with
fiddly cars and rotating track or the
more realistic view with the backs of
cars and a semi-3D effect. Ferrari

Grand Prix Challenge has gone for the


latter with some excellent graphics to
show off.

Red devils
It's a reasonable attempt at motor
racing with some good looking scrolling
backdrops, zippy cars and messages
from the pits appearing on the dash
board. But ifs the presentation and
intro screens that make the game.
Digitised pictures of Ferraris, a
scrolling line-up sequence, animated
cars emerging from the pits and a
great champagne celebration. This all

goes into creating a fun and addictive


game that stands out from the crowd,
This is one of the most enjoyable
racing games I've found on the
handheld. The music"s great, which
makes a change for the Game Boy!
Sound effects are the usual imitation
lawnmower type, but that's no
problem?
If you fancy a spin around some of
the world's top racing tracks, this is the
cart for you. Get your motor running,
head out on the highway and look for
some real adventure!

Princess Di, it's King of the
Monsters! No, that's not what's
liaising inside Gunns' underpants, it's
the latest offering from Takara
Amusements.

The object of the game (surprise,


surprise!) is to become king of the
monsters. Defeat your fellow monsters,
smash a few peaceful cities, kick the
crap out of the Japanese army and
you've got it made!
Choose one of tour characters
Astro Guy (looking a
right prat in tight blue
spandex), Beetle Mania
(looking surprisingly like
a beetle), Geon (read
that as being Godzilla)
or Rocky (a walking,
talking house brick!).
The terrifying titans
have a variety of moves kicks,
punches, throws and holds to knock
opponents to the ground.
Once they're sprawled out, jump on
'em and pin tem down. It's all over in
three seconds unless your opponent
summons up enough strength to knock
you off.
The action takes place in Japan,
home of all those late night, tacky

monster movies. As the pair of you


fight, you take sizable
pieces of the city with you and
generally make a right mess of what
was once a friendly little town! Oh well,
I guess that serves the Japanese right
for giving us Toyota cars and karaoke!
In the options
menu, choose the
starting level, number
of continues, difficulty
level and loads of
other things.
Take on the
computer or play
against anoMer
manic monster player! The Iwo-player
options a riot, with the pair of you
tearing through the oriental
skyscrapers knocking seven shades of
sushi out of each other!

It's ended up
as nthing

--

Unfortunately the game sucks in a


few minor areas: the gameplay and
interest factor! Once you've slammed
Geon into the floor or used Rocky's
head as a pogo stick, the fun starts to
dribble away. What could have been a
real monster of a game ends up as
nothing more than a limp lizard! The
large sprites are nothing to shout about
and the in-game FX are a real let
down.
Beat-'em-up fans might love it, but
I'd stick to something a bit tougher like
picking the fluff from your navel! It's a
lot more terrifying!

Yeh-hey! One of my favourite


cartoon double acts of all time
immortalised on the NEs! This is a
fantastic game where you play Jerry
I t r i as he hops, skips and jumps
through some really tough levels of platform
action. None of the characters the little mouse
comes up against have been seen in the
cartoons, except for the big bloke at the end of
each world. Tom's huge! He tills up the whole
screen and makes life a right misery. Tom & Jerry
is a great platform game with lots of challenging
stuff.

worlds and 68 levels avoiding mutant picnic fruit
and the unwanted attentions of a nasty crow.
Shame about this really it just don't come up
to scratch on the playability scale at all. The major
problem's the way the sprites flicker making
distance judging and stuff damn difficult.
Graphically, it's a real let down we've seen how a
Game Boy and SNES game can look and play equally
as well in the case of Parodius, so there's no excuse
for a naff conversion like this. Even the sounds
limited to an annoyingly repetitive beepy tune.
Sorry guys nice idea but way on the mark. Just
knot good enough, must try harder. G U M S 57%

What have they done with the conversion


of Spanky's Quest on the Game Boy?
They've changed the cute and cuddly
monkey hero into a bush baby character
and altered the way the little chap attacks.
This makes the gameplay totally different to the SNES
version, but it's still quite fun. Spanky's Quest is one of
those great Game Boy arcade games that you can come
back to again and again, especially with the special
1 password system. Hours of fun. S H A D E S 72%

Spinning tops and 3D landscapes, this is one smart


looking game, but what a devil to control. Okay, so it
looks like Marble Madness, but it plays a hell of a lot
better. The only niggle is that the control system's
extremely twitchy and the need to be pixel perfects
essential. This aside, the multi-view isometric playing area's great to
behold, and the animation and scrolling are both smooth and flicker

dragon
Singe, as her gaoler_ Heavy stuff!
As Dirk the Daring, tree Daphne by
battling your way through the castle
until you finally confront the despicable
Singe in a fight to the death.
Use a sword and throwing axes to
aid you in this daring adventure. The
sword despatches most enemies with
a single blow but you need to be close
enough to smell the dude's breath
while the axe flies to the chosen target.
As you progress, collect power-ups
throwing daggers and stars. The
daggers travel in straight lines making
them easy to use accurately, the
throwing stars are the most powerful
but return boomerang fashion it you
don't duck you get a nasty knock!

Graphics and animation are quite
excellent but the difficulty setting has

be pixel-perfect with jumps. Despite

this, it keeps you coming back for


more.
With levels that stretch from the top
of the castle walls down to dungeons
and stacks of guardians to defeat. you
really have your work cut out.
Definitely a must for anyone who
liked the arcade game I can't think
of anyone who didn't!

St George entered the dragon's lair armed only


with an extra large bottle of Listerine and sword
andcame out victorious now you can
attempt to do the same. It has great graphics,
but unfortunately the w i t s are quite poor.
Gameplay's good as you slash your way through stacks of
levels and the animation's admirable. with the climbing
being the most difficult move to perfect. Definitely a game
worthy of any collection. F L U N K Y 83%
