This month's cover game is US Gold's brilliant Streetfighter follow up, Human Killing Machine. We've got the exclusive review of the game with loads of pictures, some gorgeous playing tips (Sorry did you say gorgeous? - GT). Yes absolutely fluffy marvelously dainty playing tips (Excuse me readers I'll just have this journalist removed to the Stephen Fry home for writers who use effeminate adjectives. Next). Rite its a grate game and we like it lots and so does our mates and yoo shoud read all about it right now or I'll give you a duffin' and break your ... (Next - GT).

We were a bit worried about this unlucky 13 business but we thought that you might notice if we called it 13b or just went straight on to 14. So we braved it out and are we glad we did. Megatape 13 has got something for everyone. With Phantom Club we've got one of the best 3D games ever released, there's 500 different rooms to explore and loads of puzzling and zapping to be done! Check it out now! Wonder how we can be so generous! But that's not all!

We've also got oooweeeeeoooooooo Escape, an astoundingly bizarre adventure c/o Tartan Software. It's so difficult we expect to get lots of phone calls from people stuck claiming that it can't be done. It can and it also means we can say Yah Boo Sucks to all those people who write in and say "How come it's always arcade games on the Megatapes?" Phah! How come you didn't have more faith we'll say.

Loads and loads this month including the amazing Chicago 30's, Gemini Wing, Gray Lineker's Hot Shot, and zillions of others including this month's special guest - the mystery hamster game. (Oooweeeeeoooooooo). Who says that nobody is releasing any new stuff for the Speccy. (Who says Speccy and lives ... - GT)

Techno Cop this month and it's totally wonderful. I think that about covers it really. Do you really think they'll shoot Den in Eastenders?

Win A Dragon!
It's like this - our man Tim Noonan has got a thing about Dragons (and who can blame him some of them are very attractive) and so we had a word with those marvellous Games Workshop people and they supplied Tim with a fantastic Dragon model and he, using his formidable artistic skills, has lovingly painted it. You. can win it and loads of runners up prizes in this charmingly personalised competition.
