POWER PREVIEW

Whoooooooosh! Holy-schmolie!! Wassatt?!! ‘Oh sorry, it’s me, Hydra, and I’m the fastest thing on the riviera! Byeeee!’

POWER PREVIEW

Who remembers Denton Designs? You do?! You must be a bit crumbly! Anyway, here’s their latest game. It’s called Wreckers. Lovely...

PREVIEW

And here’s a couple of other games making their way onto your Speccy screens in the near future.

COMPO

Win a video recorder! Win a Total Recall vid! Win Total Recall games! Are you sure you’re feeling alright, Ocean?!!

LIVE CIRCUIT

A store of information and views and a silly cartoon strip featuring a loony, some green aliens and a packet of cornflakes (what can be going on?)!

AWARDS RESULTS

Your votes are counted! What’s the best game? What are the best houses? And for those games and software houses not mentioned here, the dumpster beckons. Oh dear.

DJ NICKO’S TIPS

It’s deadline day and Nicko still hasn’t finished compiling the tips. So there might be some tips around here somewhere. If not, well, y’know... sorry. Oh, it’s alright, here they are now.

COMPO

Become heroic with Gremlin! They’re giving away HeroQuest board games and Speccy games too!

SAM PAGE

It’s the cunningly title SAM Page. Can you guess what’s on it? That’s right, all the latest happenin’ events on the Coupé front!!

REVIEWS

Isn’t Julia Roberts just the most attractive person ever? (Indeed, she’s yummy, but not half as smashing as some of the flipping amazing games we’ve got hold of this month — Ed.) Smashes this month with Gauntlet 3D, HeroQuest, and Night Shift!

BACKPAGE

The almost legendary backpage is on holiday this month. In the meantime, here’s a game review (Oi, Backie, don’t forget the postcard, okay?!).
