Everything you always wanted to know ...
About the future of software but no one else could tell you. Including Shadow Skimmer, Mercenary, Feud, Ranarama and more ...

FEATURES

Footie Spectacular
SU puts the boot in (but strictly only where absolutely necessary

Diego Maradona

COMPETITION

The complete Magic Knight
Now Stormbringer's been released by Mastertronic, SU's got rather a lot of complete sets of Magic Knight games to win - that's the whole trilogy with Spellbound and Knight Tyme as well!
