FREE SNEAK PREVIEW TAPE

Securely taped to this month's CRASH should be a double A-sided cassette with demos of Ocean's mega-movie tie-in RoboCop and Incentive's Egyptian Freescape thriller - Total Eclipse. Remember, CRASH brings you the top games first - in fully playable form!

HACKERS SHOW OFF

• After September's crazy computer murders, Mel 'The Merciless' Croucher turns his attention to the decidedly more light-hearted topic of Happy Hackers. Has Acid House come to the hi-tech world of binary misdemeanours?

• The biggest PC show ever. Tens of thousands went, gawped and vacuum-cleaned tons of PR leaflets, posters and Olibugs. Old (who? me? - LM) Lloyd Mangram went to see how it compared to the old days at the Barbican centre.
