Predator

It's evil, it's here and it's got a good review. It's Predator - we think you'll like it.

MEGATAPE ONE

The first of ... well, let's not give anything away. Check out the tape, read about the programmers, find out about the awesome Pokes on Tape. Play the stunning demo of Nineteen and get a special £2 off the price of the cassette the second it's released! Read about Zarjas the utterly exclusive game. Wonder how on earth we're going to follow it up next month ...

PREVIEWS

With added Karnov, Teladon, Traz, A Day in the Life of Thing and Cybernoid (Exolon II) 9 out of 10 housewives who expressed a preference said that our Previews section beats other magazines into a squashy little pulp - no question.

FEATURES

Zapchat
Jon Riglar on colour. EeeeeeeeeeeeK! Not for those of a nervous disposition, find out what SU's own bete noir has to say about some awesomely recent games. See his new logo (which is far too good for him in our opinion)

The Sorceress
Gordo has departed for colder climes. The Sorceress is now in control (Ooer!)

How the Hell ...
We've spruced up Helpline - given it a new logo, new ideas and a new brief - to answer your questions about how particularly awesome game effects were done. Check it out!

I've got this problem
A new look for Surgery with lots of ultra authoritative info from Doc Goodwins on all those little private technical problems you don't like to talk about.

Marginals
What are they? Where are they? Why are they? Could it be the beginning of something new? Who puts them there? Are there any sentences in this piece which don't end in a question mark? No (Very conceptual)

Bear Essentials
Ha! Just bought a Spectrum? Forget all that guff about edukachon and learning to program. Here's what you really need to know. How to do Pokes, what words like OOer really mean.

Loony Peripherals
They're crazy! They're oddball! They fit snugly on the back of your Spectrum. Find out about the cuddly toy destruction machine the skateboard control device and many many more. Unbelievable? Absolutely right - we made it all up.

COMPETITIONS

Win a helicopter
Honest to goodness. Just about the fabbest prize we've ever given away - a fantastic radio controlled helicopter that flies and everything - threaten the neighbours!

Go on a hovercraft
Zoom around very fast slightly above the earth and get lessons on how to control it!
