Plus full games, DUN DARACH, SHOCKWAY RIDER and prize game, ASSASSIN. Plus more music with LYRA 2 and the load-in cheats in TIPS AMAZING and Graham Mason's very own POKEMANIA.

SU CREW

Disaster has struck this month, there are no true SU Crew this month at all! A spaceship landed on the roof of the office just after teatime and sucked them all inside through an opening in the top half. Several hours later, an orifice somewhere else in ship opened, there were some grinding noises and several strange yet vaguely familiar beings took over SU. And worse than that, the intergalactic uglies don't believe in Santa. Not only that but ... oh no ... get away ... aggggghhh!!

Greetings Earthlings. My name is Fnot the Irreverent. Let me introduce you to the NEW SU Crew...

Commander Coloninabadway
Here is the gallant, (and slightly sad) Commander Coloninabadway on the lookout for new and exciting software. His five year mission is to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new games and graphical concepts and to boldly make typographical errors where no man has made any before ...

The Commander's favourite game is Darg Lebinostock's 'Phut!' which he believes captures the whole universe at the moment of its birth. It is supplied on 14 million miles of Spectrum tape and is a multi-load.

Star Commander Angus Headrush
SC Headrush, as he's known in space frontier towns, cuts a dashing figure and is very popular with several video pleasure booths on Areole 6. However, he's less than popular with their owners and so a life in the Space Corps was his only answer.

His favourite game is Three Hand Snut and he is married to his navigation computer which is programmed to find Bagel shops.

Captain Ooneneeky Cheeky
As an interstellar gossipmonger and artist, Cheeky, as we call her, has some great designs which she discusses with the crew. All of the crew have very strange designs on her too. One of which is find out if she can still chatter non-stop if we put her in an air-lock and fill it with the entire population of Septic 6.

Her favourite game is anything with speech in. Just as long as it says 'Nice design' every now and then she's well happy and the rest of us can spend our time trying to avoid Blogg.

Chief Science Officer Blogg
Blogg's striking looks are considered very dashing on the planet Septic 6. But as the lifeforms there resemble small pools of irradiated snot, they have very little with which to make any real comparisons. As Chief Science Officer, no one really listens to him because no one can quite understand what he's saying.

His favourite games are mind bogglingly boring, but he likes to spend his off duty time alone - which is fine with the rest of the Crew and most of the on-board computers.

Incidentally, just before Garth disappeared into a spaceship, he said that he would always believe in Santa and wished all the readers (including his mum and dad) merry Christmas and the rest of the Crew wished a merry Christmas to mum and dads everywhere, without whom, nothing would be possible! Would it?
