and some really smart Porsches
and Ferraris just around the

Consumer Electronics Show in

T Chicago, um was a redesign of the
hNintendo Entertainment System we've
e grown to know and love. Nintendo
all
hhave scrapped the breezeblock look
oand gone for a sleek dark grey casing
with red and black buttons and an
t
improved joyoad with LEDS.
n
The original NES was launched back

in 1985 and has grown in popularity

and software support to its current
position more than 60 million users
worldwide. It's now the number-one
game system, with a 99% share of the
8-bit market in America, and the new
package will retail for almost half the
price of the original to attract even
more garners.
Nintendo's American vicepresident of marketing commented:
'While the industry maintains its
fascination and myopic focus on new
technologies, the NESwas a billiondollar business last year in the US. Our
new price affords consumers flexibility
to purchase the NEs as their first video
game system and build an incredible

The new look NES from America with impressive curves and the power to play any
NEsgame from a library of over 590! Well have to wait and see if this fantastic
console ever appears in the ux.

library ot games from the more thar

590 choices available.'
Roughly translated, that means
Nintendo are committed to the 8-bit
market. The new machine will play any
of the games released for the first
machine plus a range of great new
titles, kicking off with Tetris II and
Kirby's Adventure.
The official word from Nintendo UK
is that there are no plans to re-release
the console in this country as yet. But
who knows if it does well in the
States we could see it in the shops
over here before long. Why do the
Yanks always have to have everything
first eh? What do you think of the new

trampoline dog that allows him to jump
up to otherwise inaccessible places.
There's also a new little item known
as Flip-Top, which is a cybernetic
suitcase, and an improved laser which
becomes more powerful the longer you
hold down the fire button. As in the
previous Mega Man games, the hero
can collect weapons from his defeated
foes.

gone mad. On his quest, Sukapon
covers four side-scrolling stages,
each with eight robots and a tough
boss. The first seven robots he
meets can be reformed as allies
once they're defeated. You can
switch over to these robots to
exploit an opponent's weaknesses.
The one-on-one mode is a
different story. Go against the

Joy mecha Fight even better than

Street Fighter III

and kicks, each robot has four

distinct kill moves, These are easy to
dish out, and there's a training mode
that shows you how to execute
special moves.
The two game modes are quest
and one-on-one street combat. In the
quest mode, take Sukapon, a failed
clown of a robot, on a journey to

W
N

Man and his eight robot guardians,

Charge Man, Napalm Man, Gyro
Man, Stone Man, Crystal Man,
Wave Man, Star Man and Gravity
Man, all with their own powerful
weapons. But there's no mention
of the once-evil Dr Wily who
appeared in all the previous games
it seems that he's turned over a
new leaf and given up evil for
good.
We took a look at a Japanese
version of the game and it's
absolutely fantastic. Take a look at
our Mega Man feature this month
on page 42 for all the latest
information on this great character.

heading. Good old Nintendo!

Why did dinosaurs disappear from

"Every element of the film is

So what has Bob Hoskins really got
in common with the superhero
Mario (besides his obvious bushy
moustache and ample frame)? Well
he once bought a pair of blue
dungarees in 1975 but we don't
think that counts! See if you can
spot the difference between the
characters in the film and those

Adventure Quest really caught my
attention this month. The

real bargain with such
classics as Treasure

hundreds of planes to be

S Stuntman is a fast-moving action game full of

exciting
levels, involving the player in high-speed

shooting as many

while being bombarded

a

from hang-gliding off a cliff after delivering a box of chocolates

Another daring 'rescue the girr

by the evil Grand Vizier... boo!
Hiss! She's locked in the highest
room of the castle.
It's one of those games where you
need to solve puzzles, fi ght
guards and get past skeletons on
each stage. There's a time limit of
60 minutes, so you gotta reach
your gal before the sands of time

Zig: Hey! Is that my Game Boy?
Zag: No. It's just one I found
behind the fridge.
Zig: Okay. I saved you some egg
sandwiches. They're still a bit
soggy. Where's the hairdryer?

That'll do the trick.

Zag: Oops! I forgot to drink that
potion and time's running out.
This is a really cool game,
excellent puzzles, ace animation.
Great graphics... and it's a bit
tricky, even for me.
Zig: When are we going to do the
computer games review?
Zag: Look Zig, it's stopped

i Planters are the most basic
paliens, but deadly. They roam above
the surface until they locate a man,

android which finds its prey and
dself-destructs. Nemsdes, mutated

Planters, come roaring after the
iplayer at high speeds, chucking
tbombs. Blunder Storms are clouds
hthat float about the planet, spewing
aacid rain and occasionally blasting
zout thunderbolts.
a A Trailer is a small, spherical,
pspiny horror which floats around
harmlessly until shot, and then
p
bursts into Spores thin cometelike objects that follow players
raround emitting excited squeaks.
gAlthough hard to hit, they should be
ukilled immediately they could run

Nimeye is an evil red alien who
tracks down the player and fires
relentlessly. When all the scientists
are lost antimatter appears,
dropping bombs everywhere, and
volcanoes start to erupt, hurling
deadly white-hot rocks which kill
anything on impact.
There are three lives per game
and three continues, so strap on
your backpack, grab your zapper
gun and get ready for some
great s hootem- up action.

The conversion is faithful to the original in gameplay, but

Life a s a mouse is forever full of problems

The Fidgetts are a country bumpkin rodent
family with little patience. and as a consequence
of too much ru ra l violence occasioned, one
presumes, b y having so little to do Pa Fidgett
decides to move his family somewhere more exciting
America. But his idea for eternal happiness goes
wildly wrong.
While the family are moving (on a handy farmer's
fruit truck), Pa's son Freddie disappears! Distraught
at his son's absence, Pa decides to get Off the

Rankle leaps off the truck and

in the se we r system of
the cit y, wit h yo u in
control of both Rankle
and Freddie (Rankle
having already rescued
his brother) in their quest
to rejoin their family at the dockyard.
But between the twinned rodents and their goal
lies a variety of tricky traps and puzzles all of which,
of course, have to be solved to progress in the
game. The main problem is to navigate the many
waterways of the sewer system, but this is nothing
compared to later levels: outwitting runaway trains,
piloting balloons and avoiding the daily inhabitants
you thought you'd left at the farm.

With a quick press

also a lot stronger, to the point where he can pick up
his brother and throw him through the a ir the
ultimate way to solve an argument!
On the other hand, Rankle's the better athlete,
so if a high platform needs to be reached, he's the
mouse for the job.

Mice to see you

The two Rdgetts each have a catapult to use on
any foe, Frankie possesses the better aim so,
again, it ma ke s sense to use h im f o r any
shooting.
The game itself is a mixture of puzzle and
action sections. During the puzzle zones, your
main objective is to find the exit before the
timer runs out. Along the way, springs, blocks
and other useful items can be collected to elude
the nestles that linger about. It's not as gung-ho as it
sounds: you've only a specific number of
chances (re p re se n te d b y p ie ce s o f
cheese) a n d o n e i s lo st wit h e a ch
mistake made, lo se th e m a ll and it's
game over.
The action sequences vary in style,

games, this is a must. Spidey is great to control,

though it's a little tricky at first to work out the many
moves. The animation is impressive on all sprites,
and with detailed backdrops the whole game i s
visually exciting. Gameplay is not original, but fans
of the tried and tested platform formula should be

If you're having problems

with the Neanderthal
duo, check out this guide
to the bad guys and the
best tricks.

Caveman
Tyrannosaurus R e x He ' s a particularly vicio u s
beast, wh o walks backwards and forwards spitting
cavemen at you.

Man-eating plant Whatever weapon you throw a t

this nasty piece o f vegetation, i t throws b a ck in
triplicate. Stay to the left and keep firing at it's head
to finish it off.

Pooteranodon This swoops down on Joe o r Mac

twice, then comes fro m o n e o f the sides. Eg g s
dropped from the a ir turn into baby pterodactyls.
Shoot constantly to knock off energy points. Try to
work out the set pattern of attacks and then avoid
them.
Woolly mammoth This hairy fiend stomps his feet
and moves left a n d right, picking u p ro cks and
hurling them at you. Rocks also fall from the earth.
Stay near the end of the play area and direct fire at
it's nose with a long-range weapon such a s the
boomerang. When it's trunk falls oft, it won't be long
before it's an ex-pachyderm.
Wicked demon There are a few other end-of-level
bad guys before this tricky fiend, but a lot of practice
is needed to tackle this one. Deep in the dinosaur's
stomach lives a demon with a split personality. It flies
around, sometimes splitting into two, When it prods
the dinosaur's heart, ro cks fall from the air. Twin
giant plant heads also fall and must be destroyed
immediately. Don't be fooled if you see the devil turn
into Mac it's only a trick.

Neanderthalnibbles
If y ou k eep boos t ing your energy lev el t o max imum

on all vertically-scrolling levels, you meet a friendly

egg-carrying pterodactyl who gives you a bonus of
some sort. But you have to catch it first.
To finish off the end-of-level bad guys. use the
power-ups to your advantage b y constantly doing
high leaps.
The fire weapon is the most powerful you can
collect. It kills all but the largest enemies.
On level six there's a bonus stage, fi n d it b y
waiting underneath a rock formation in the middle of
the level.
One o f the hardest bosses is situated on level
five. You can only attack him when he's unravelled.
which means jumping over to avoid h im I f you're
doing it correctly you should be able to hit him twice.

inaccessible places and collect extra
lives, energy power-ups and points.

packed adventure for 16-bitg

Mega Man 3 has a little more to

offer than its predecessofs, as well
as colourful graphics and bubbly
music,

Mega Man 4
In the latest Mega Man game
available in Britain, Dr Wily is up to
his old tricks once more with a new
set of ruthless robots Dust Man,
Drill Man, Skull Man, Ring Man, Toad
Man, Pharaoh Man, Dive Man and
Bright Man. As in the other games,
each robot has its own special
weapon for Mega Man to collect.
This game is even trickier, and
even more addictive, than the others.

Penguin attack at 2 O'clock so

there's a few hours to kill yet!

Giant spiky things it's probably

best to keep out of their way.

Take that, and that, and ouch

that really hurt you bully!

Anyone fancy a nice prawn

cocktail? Yummy!

Defeating this giant cat-like creature is a real chore. Real Mega Man e
just forget him and climb up the !adder instead!

No Mega Man, it's not a sensible

idea to jump on that mine to see if
its still live.

Heat man
This time use the bubble lead you
obtained after the defeat of Bubble
Man, but be careful Heat Man is

a tough cookie.
Bubble Man
It's a good idea to use the blades
you've obtained from Metal Man. If
you attack Bubble Man with a barrage
of blades he can sadly be burst.

Crash Man

Air Man
Again, use the Mega
Cannon and keep leaping
Air Mans tornadoes. He's
soon full of hot air.

Keep leaping over his

blades while firing a
steady stream of bullets
from the Mega Cannon.

This time use the ar

shooter, which is the
perfect weapon to deleat
Crash Man. There's not
much he can do about it

Quick Man
Before tackling Quick

Power Boats
Zippy things that zoom around the bathtub. They skid about quite a
lot on comers and have rubber clucks, cakes of soap and plugholes
to contend with. Keep the acceleration button clown constantly with
these.

Small and compact vehicles that race around the breakfast table.
They barge each other and can withstand almost any knock, except
going off the edge of the table, Watch out for orange juice!
Sports Cars
These redly move. The trouble is they tend to skid around every
corner. To do well with these you have to master the art of skidding
and turning early tor every bend.

Quickies
P u w e r Boat qualifying race don't bother
racing to win. When the race is over just hold down
[8]. [START] and [UP]. When the screen goes blue,
press [START] again. You're given six extra lives,
On the first desktop track press [START] as
you jump across the gap for a 1-up. It you've done
this correctly, the screen should go grey.
On the Sandy Straights race go backwards
from the start fine until you reach the water. Now
pause the game and the screen should turn white
and the lap counter goes down. Now go forwards
to win!
When racing Handyman's Curve go to the far
top left of the level until you see a big oilcan. Drive
into the spout and pause the game to win the race.
The Sahara Straights race has a handy cheat.
Go around until you come to a footprint in the sand.
Stop at the bottom of it and press [PAUSE] to be
blessed with turbo acceleration.
For super grip in your Chopper on the Potted
Passage follow the green pipe to the point where it
goes into the greenery. Pause the game and super
grip is yours!

Warriors
No-one is safe with these things around! They barge and push each
other with the spikes on the front and can make opponents explode
if they repeat the attack. They're quite easy to control, though.

Rutftrux
The bonus tracks use this unique tank-like vehicle. It can move quite
quickly but usually doesn't need to, as there are tricky course
layouts that need the speed kept down. They can easily be
waterlogged.

Turbo Wheels
These sand buggies zip about over the sandpit avoiding spades and
sandcastles. They skid around every corner and you have to use
quick thinking and good steering to correct yourself.
Formula One
It's just like Nigel Mansell driving these except they race ch a pool
table! They're quite good at cornering and can reach some
breakneck speeds. They have to slow right down to go over the
playing cards' bridges.

Choppers
Zipping around the garden looking like flies, these are tricky to
control! They overshoot corners and it's difficult to tell where the
track moves to. Watch out for burst water pipes which put a
dampener on thinga

Tanks
These aro similar to the Rufftrux to control but can Ike cannonballs at
the opposition. You can get blown up if you have a pack of tanks
behind you so stay out of their way.

Area 1
Use DonateIto and avoid BeBop. When approaching the
end of the level, jump on the
boxes while pressing [DOWN]
and fire.
Area '2
Scale the building killing the
villains not forgetting to
collect the pizzas. Avoid the
obstacles in the swimming
section and defuse the bombs

One dragon is bad enough...

To get more lives, select a twoplayer game and beat up the the'
player. Every time you kill him you'li
get an extra life. This can oontnue as
long as you want.
This is a cool way to get extra
lives. Set out on a two-player game
then kill your companicn. Fach lime
you kill him you're awarded a 1-UP

Area 3
When in the turtle van, avoid
smashing into the steam
rollers press [SELECT] to
get out of the van. The steamrollers disappear making this
level a doddle. Go into the
building and stock up on
weapons you need about
ten rockets to finish the level.
Scrolls are useful for defeating

Cheap, cheap!.

Do you S v e a problem?
your NES sutler from heatstroke,
or need a cool ice-cream before
each game on those long
summer days? Or perhaps you're
going bargain-hunting on your
summer hols and need some
advice on what's hot in the
world of Nintendo? Just write to:
MAIL FORCE, N-FORCE, IMPACT
MAGAZINES, LUDLOW,
SHROPSHIRE SYS

You're probably getting bored of

letters saying t a r t s should be
cheaper' but I have one question
for Nintendo and (boo!) Sega. Why
waste millions of pounds on
adverts when you could drop ten
quid off the price of games? I
mean, when a game comes out I
don't usually learn about it
through a telly ad, I see it in NFORCE or on the shelves in a
shop. You only have to look at the
new Sega (boo!) Mega CD, which
sold more units in one week
before the adverts came on than
the Commodore cunt has in three
years! Lower the price of carts
and your sales figures will go
through the roof!
Andrew Sweet, Nottingham
IllAte all agree that games are
much too expensive, though
bear in mind that above and
beyond Nintendo's
manufacturing costs,
distributors and retailers have
to take a cut otherwise the
games wouldn't be in the shops.
But when you consider how
much cheaper everything is in
America and Japan, us
Europeans really get a bad deal.
Still, life is not as bad for NFS
owners as for some console
garners, with companies like
Konami and Codemasters

And what about Dizzy at E29.99?

You can really laugh in the face

of all 16-bit owners having to
pay up to E64.99 for their dodgy

cheaply from places like
Woolworths and Boots, too.
They've usually got some

As a new N-FORCE reader I
would just like to say that your
mag is brilliant. Can you answer a
few questions for me?
1. I've heard of a cheat for
Duck Tales on the Game Boy.
Could you tell me what this is,
please?
2. Have you heard of a game
called Phantom Air Mission? I've
got this for my Game Boy and I'd
just like to know what kind of
review it got (if you've done it).
3. In MAIL FORCE, why don't
you have a star letter and chuck in
a prize or two?
4. Will Street Fighter II be out
soon on the NES or Game Boy? If
so when?
Ta-ra for now!
Jonathan West, Nuneaton
1. We've got two cheats for
Duc k Tales on the Ga me Boy -

unfortunately they are both for

the Action Replay device, so
you can't use them if you
haven't got one. Try 01021ACA
for unlimited lives or 079611CA

We've forgotten a couple of

4. We heard a rumour that
Street Fighter II was going to
appear on the NES months and
months ago; we even saw a
screenshot of an illegal
Japanese pirate version. What
Capcom are thinking of doing
with it is still under wraps, but
they'd be mad not to release an

Programmed to
learn
Recently at school I chose my
Year 10 career options. with
Information Systems (Computers)
being one of them. When I'm older
I would really like to be able to
write computer games but I don't
know which computers are the
best to use or the best programs.
At the moment I don't have any
programming skills so I also don't
know what language professionals
use or which language I should
program in to begin with. Please
can you find time to answer my
questions and send me a reply.
Neil Freeman, Weymouth

programmed on normal lamcompatible PCs, the kind most

schools and colleges use these
days. It's the software that these
computers run and the
hardware they are connected to
that count. One of the most
common languages is C, but it
doesn't really matter at this
stage which you learn
professional programmers are
usually 'fluent' in at least two or
three and pick up others as they
go along. Most software houses
have their own machine-codeassembly and utility programs
that speed up the writing of
games.
There are various jobs in
creating a game, from designing
levels, writing music, and
creating characters to sitting
down and putting the whole
thing together. Try contacting
the software companies in the
UK and asking' them for
information on their systems,
and perhaps get details of any
work experience they can offer
you. You can usually find phone
numbers and addresses for
many of the companies on ads
in N-FORCE. Good luck and
remember to let us have the
exclusive on your first game!

Tantalising tips
I've just bought your magazine
(Issue 12) and was delighted to
hear you are making a separate
NES magazine. You also said in a
reply from Beckie Hornby that you

tc

Nintendo games are

were doing playing guides and

round-ups of older classic games
for the NES. So I thought I'd send
my Legend of Zelda maps in. It is
quite a hard game for
inexperienced players.
I don't need them any more and
I was hoping I might be in with a
chance of winning E50 of software.
I'm saving up for a Game Boy to
go with my NES So I could do with
some games. Even if I don't win I
hope the maps will be of some use
to you.
PS Your magazine whips the
pants off the others. I hope the
new mags are a success. Mind you
they will be anyway!
Shaun White, Derby
Thanks a million for your tips,
Shaun, and we're glad you like
the may. If you haven't seen your
handiwork already, look on page
48 this issue! Anybody out there
who has any tips, cheats or
maps on classic NES games can
be in with a chance of winning
E50 of software. Just send them
in to the TIPS FORCE address,
sit back and wait for the next
issue of N.-FORCE to hit the
streets!

DIY on NES
Please
9 will you answer these
questions...
1. I own an NES and recently a
friend lent me The Fantastic
Adventures of Dizzy. I cannot get
past the treehouse or diamondmine levels. Could you please do

a TIPS FORCE section on the

game?
2. There is a cheat for Super
Mario Land on the Game Boy if
you hold down [A] and [B] after
defeating Tatanga you can warp
to a secret level. I have tried this
several times but it won't work.
What am I doing wrong?
3. Will there ever be a Mario
Paint-style game for the NEs?
Thanks.
John Noone, Co. Meath
It looks like you missed our
last issue, John, because we
had a giant TIPS FORCE special
on The Fantastic Adventures of
Dizzy. We're hoping to print
more solutions on this game in
the future, but to solve all your
problems just get yourself a
copy from the back-issues
department.
I'm not sure what you've
done in Super Mario Land. The
cheat I know is at the end of
world 1-1, where you can hold
down button [A] while the time
remaining is counted. You move
into a bonus stage and are
awarded three extra Mario&
Nintendo have no plans to
release a Mario Paint-style
program for the NES at the
moment, although the console
is perfectly capable of the
game. Perhaps the lack of a
mouse for the NES would put
people off? Painting programs
can easily be done on a joypad,
though.

Well actually Nintendo have

just revamped the NES for the
States with a slick new design
and some smart games on the
horizon. They have no plans to
release the new console in the
UK at the moment so everyone
write and phone Nintendo to
demand the new machine.
There's more information on

1411IS Akib,

Mad as a hatter!
Greetings ye N-FORCE! There be
summat stingingly stinkint where
I be! It be called Sega! I be
destroyin' these heaps of puke!
Flippinl heck, sorry N-FORCE
lads and lasses, my pen went
funny. But that's not what I'm
writing for. I have some
questions for you to answer
(please, oh go on).
1. Have you got any more Mega
Man V figures?
2. How much to they cost?
3. Can you send me some
please! I'll send a cheque.
4. Sheng Leung does exist and
here's the cheat: choose Ryu
and go through the game without
getting hit once. Then spar with
Bison for ten rounds. After the
10th round Sheng Leung
appears.
5. Can you send me Mega Man
I? I'll pay for it.
El lain Byron, Prescot
Firstly lain, you seem totally
mad to me! What on earth are

you wibbling on about at the

start of your letter? Anyway,
here are the answers you're
looking for...
1. Nope, we've only got the one
set and we need thos e for a
competition prize. You can see
them again in all their glory in
the Mega Man feature on page
42.
2. They cost us V2880 (that's
Japanese Yen to you) which at
the last count works out at
around E16-E20. Excellent
value for money don't you
think?
3. No.
4. So what? That's Street
Fighter II and it's not out on
the NES yet. Capcom have
plans to release it though.
5. We've got Mega Man I but
it's such a good game we want
to keep yourselves. Have you
tried some of the game
swopping companies that
advertise?
NICK

That's all the space we've got for

this issue, so get scribbling away
with any problems or questions
you might have for next month.
Don't forget, the likelihood of
something nasty happening to you
or your Nintendo is very slim, don't
have nightmares, sleep tight!
