Don't get too excited, though, the games aren't that
stunning. The graphics range from not bad, on Pro Tennis, to absolutely
dire. on BMX Simulator. You get a bird's-eye view of the track which
makes it very difficult to work out which bike you're supposed to be
riding.
Controls are difficult to master at first but easy to pick up after a few
plays. The moves on Pro Tennis are a bit weird, it took me a while to get
the hang of them. Having said all this, the games aren't all that bad, the
football is pretty good fun (well, it's better than Subbuteo anyway!) and

Coo/ World is going to flop as badly as the

O film that it originated from. The gameplay is
c mind numbingly boring that I found myself
so
slumped over e my console in a catatonic state.
The controlsa are easy to master, and the graphics are pretty
good but morenimagination could have gone into making the
characters — afterh all, the film is mostly animated. The
constant shooting sounds can be slightly nauseating. Another
a
annoying feature is the fact that if you pause the game in the
v
middle of gun fire you get stuck with the noise until the game is
unpaused. e
This is a diffigcult cart to play at times but the difficulties are
more niggly rathero than challenging, this can leave the player
very frustrated,oIf you're not careful you'll find yourself throwing
your console out f of the window!

A little way into the first level, after
you've passed all the green pipes,

Use the Force!
Your mag is the best ever. It's got

my friend came around to my

something as stupid as Sega copy
your name? Mario Vs Sonic is the
ultimate battle. No guesses who
wins!
• Andrew Morgan, Huntington
• Okay, our hands are up.
You've got us there. It's true
that there are nasty Sega
magazines that share the Force
with us. In fact there are six of
us in total! There's N-FORCE
(the original and the best!),

except the very last one. How do
you kill him? Keep up the good
work!
• Kevin Hall, Bridghouse
• We're not too sure about
killing that last stubborn
beasty — in fact some of the
cheats we've got actually make
the game harder! Try the code
TERU for a tough blast or even
MARU. If you want to forget
killing that last boss and just
see the end sequence of the
game enter YES and a heart

Barking mad!
Dear wonderful, kind people at
N-FORCE. I'm a NES and my name
is Nessie (get it!). I am writing to
tell you about my owner Aueen.
Lately I've not been working
properly and she's very sad. If she
stays in her present state of mind
she might be driven to buying a
Mega Drive! And we wouldn't want
that to happen, would we?
I got my friend Mario to write
this. Aueen always buys
N-FORCE. I have some questions
to ask the pros (you)...
1_ In Super Mario Bros, after
you get ten lives it comes up as 0
for 10, 1 for 11. How come?

The reason the life c ounter

For the masses
I've bought every issue so far and
I'm a bit puzzled at all the changes
all the time. It seems that an issue
doesn't go by without the team
either changing all their names
from Gunns to Carl and the like, to
the mag totally changing its style
from one minute to the next. Why
all this upheaval all the time? It's a
great mag all round so why do you
have all these things happening
that don't really need this change.
• Martin L Gore, Basildon
• Thanks for your concern Mart,
but don't worry youself. This
magazine is not going to change
drastically from this point
onwards. It's taken s ome time to
get here, and e few design and
editorial changes but N-FORCE
is now here to stay.
