JUNE a A VIRTUALITY 20
The world's most advanced computer gaming system recently made its first appear- ance to the public and press. Virtual Reality adds a much-needed new dimension to the leisure entertainment industry and we have the low-down on the complete system. Don't miss out on reading about the magnificent future that it offers both you and us. ST Action reveals all!
GRAB A PIECE OF THE PREDATOR! 46
After revenge on an old friend? Maybe you want to shock the socks off your brother or sister? In that case, you have to enter our Predator 2 competition where you could win a shoulder-length mask of the gruesome creature and a rather fetching pair of Predator gloves to match! Only the fearless may enter...
THE TOP 20ST TITLES 29
After. considerable demand from our readers (and we're talking about letters by the dozen), we have decided to include the computer charts in ST Action. Learn who holds the top spot and discover where your favourite title is. Take a look now and let us know what you think.
eeer itis ACTION NEWS 04
This month's news is rather special. We have extensive four page coverage of one of the largest computer shows of the year. ECTS '91 brought to the forefront a number of notable products from the leading software houses. We keep you up-to-date on exact- ly who is doing what.
ARE YOU SEEING DOUBLE? 19
You should be! Two stunning coverdisks are on the front of this issue of ST
Action. Armour-Geddon from Psygnosis is such a highly playable demo that we had to use a whole disk just to cram it on! The other disk fea- tures Supercars II from Gremlin and a fantastic level of platform capers in Chuck Rock from Core Design.
LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE 48
Don't feel depressed because you can't get any further in a particular game. We at ST Action like to provide a little happiness to our readersand our GTGA features do just that. This month, we help you out with Elvira, Wrath’ of the Demon, Codename Iceman and many more. So when you have a problem, you know where to come to find the all- important answers.

Alan "The boss" Bunker likes to take girlies for a ride on his bike — as long as they don't mind peddling that is! So, come on girls, send those snapshots to the usual address and win his heart.
Jason "Crystal Ken" Dutton is a bit of a secret raver. When he's not out on a pub-crawl in Oldham with his girlfriend, he's out celebrating Salford RLFC's 2nd division championship triumph. Nice one boys!

Palace Software had some _ great releases last month and they're no doubt hoping to continue that stan- dard with Sliders. The game is a competitive ball racing strategic challenge for up to two players, fea- turing 3D isometric scrolling.
The player must chase a puck over 12 different fields, featuring one-way anti-gravity lanes, humps,
valleys, ice and brake-zones. Sliders can be controlled by either keyboard or
joystick and the strength of fire, thrust and so-on can be finely tuned to your
hearts content. The STE is also fully catered for with full hardware scrolling. Expect to see Sliders out around the end of July. We don't know the price
just yet but expect to pay the usual.
If it comes to that time of the month when you simply can’t wait for our Dotty to solve your problems, then a chap called Bruce Everiss may be able to come to your rescue. Bruce already runs four callstream telephone ser- vices (0898 numbers to you and me) but he’s decided to branch out with four more lines including one for ST games tips.
The line, which is updated weekly, lasts for three min- utes and is produced by one Richard Monteiro who's writ- ten for various mags in his illustrious journalistic career.
You can dial ST Gamestips on 0898 299386. Calls cost lots of money off-peak and lots more money during peak times (before 6pm), so if you’re under 18 make sure you get your parents’ permission or you may find your ST has been pawned to pay the phone bill!

As computers and their storage devices get increasingly smaller, one of the largest space consuming items has got to be your printer and its yards of paper.
Contriver have now come up with the Printer Pak which allows you to store the paper actually under the printer. Available in France for some time, the Pak has already been very successful and this has prompted a UK launch.
It consists of a stand, which leaves plenty of room for a cable, and over 100 yards of computer paper. Without the stand, that amount of paper would look awkward and untidy whereas with the stand, it is easy to handle and convenient.
Here we have the Contriver Printer Pak being modelled by this delightful young lady in the strange blouse, SO you can see exactly what goes where.
It seems like a pretty convenient peripheral if space is scarce or you're just being hassled by your mother because your room looks untidy!
The Printer Pak retails at £19.99 and Contriver can be contacted on 0280 822803 if you're interested. A seperate printer stand is also avail- able at a cost of £14.99 so the deci- sion is yours.
Set in the early 1800s when rail- roads were bringing a new age of technology and power, Microprose’s Railroad Tycoon is about to make the journey from the PC to the ST.
The idea behind the game is to create your own railroad empire, through humble beginnings to the present day. You must decide where tracks should go and plan the placement of your terminals and switches so that you can connect towns, cities and harbours, deal with equipment failures and natural catastrophes.
You'll have to gradually alter your rail network to cater for new markets opening up and to supply population shifts and industries. The process of decision making never stops.
Railroad Tycoon will appear on the ST in May/June of this year and will cost £29.99.

European Computer
Mid-April saw the ST Action team venture down to the ECTS show in London. Alan went one way while Jason and Paul went another. When they returned to their Cheshire office, the team collated together all the vital information they had gathered. Now Alan takes you on the same journey to London, only a few weeks later. Join him now if you want to know what’s what in the world of computer entertainment.
The 1991 European Computer Trade Show has ended, and although it wasn't as rewarding as expected, | have a lot of news and general gos- sip to tell you about.
Everybody who is anybody was there, of course. US Gold, Virgin, Ocean, Psygnosis (who apparently shook off the competition with ease at the awards ceremony) and numerous other companies from all corners of the globe had stands or suites for people to browse around.
Obviously, | haven't got the space in the magazine to mention absolutely everything but | hope to inform you of ALMOST everything you need to know.
There was a lot of interest directed toward European companies, espe- cially those from France, who seem to be establishing themselves quite strongly on the British home comput-
CIIVISION
Activision look to be very active at the moment with a number of forth- coming releases that seem set to be huge successes. | don’t know where to start, really! The intergalactic shoot’em-up, R-Type 2, is one to keep a careful eye out for with enough firepower to put the Gulf coalition forces to shame. The
release date is July and it will sell for £24.95.
Also soon to come from Activi- sion are puzzle game Shanghai Il, and behind the lines infiltration in what is described as: “...a 16-colour solid 3-D game set in fractal gener- ated landscape from a second per- son viewpoint.” What is it? It's a game called Hunter.

Beast Busters looks highly promising as a beat/shoot’em-up of Op Wolf influence while Deuteros is another game with a galactic feel to it that should be available in August.

Te Somewhere else in . = 2» France, Ubi Soft are
~*~ about to release Pro Tennis 2. In development is Unreal but, as yet, | don’t really know that much about it. Take a look at the screenshots for now and I'll update you more in the near future.
Loriciel have a lot of plans, too. With reviews in this issue of ST Action, they intend to follow them up with even better products. Superskweek looks to be a fun two player game that involves colouring a number of tiles while negotiating traps and monsters of various descriptions. The use of certain weaponry is also permitted, just to even things out a little!
Guardians has an_ extremely
interesting theme nestling beneath the challenging gameplay. The action takes place in a 3-D room where the object is to prevent a number of Triffids from escaping by constructing a wall to imprison them inside the area. Various bonuses are available to add that touch of extra enjoyment. Available soon as will be puzzle games Time Race and Booly!
Sort of French now they are with Leisure Holdings, Palace Software have two new titles previously unmentioned in ST Action. SWAP is a “...brain-teasing new puzzle game that is at once extremely simple yet horribly addictive...clear a board of coloured tiles by swapping pairs around to create a cluster of the same coloured tiles, which then van- ish.” Three different shaped tiles complicate matters considerably and the time limit is not be laughed at! :
| actually saw more of Sliders which was explained to me as being a ‘Marble Madness’ clone. To be honest, | was quite impressed with the remarkably smooth graphics and appealing gameplay. The idea is to score points by directing an electro- puck into a set of goals. The more points you get, the more likely you are to win.
Trade Show 1991:
Two new titles coming up from Elec- tronic Arts are Birds of Prey and Zone Warrior. | took a good peek at the flight sim Birds of Prey and
looks absolutely stunning! When developing the game, the main pri- ority was to achieve the feeling of realism and not necessarily detract from that with fast arcade action although, obviously, piloting a selec- tion of fighter and bomber aircraft does ask that you shoot down the odd enemy aircraft or two! The option to command ground forces is also incorporated into the game. Unfortunately, ST owners will have to wait a few months before it makes an appearance.
Zone Warrior, on the other hand, is similar to Turrican. It is a multi- directional platform shoot’'em-up. To put the plot of the game in simple terms, you have to travel through various time zones, eliminate the bad guys, and make the whole world a much better place to live in. Sounds good!
Gremlin are keeping themselves busy with a host of titles containing various gaming styles. Some hot news from Gremlin is the beginning of work on Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge Il. The original earned 90% in ST Action. Can the sequel be much of an improvement? Well, we'll all have to wait and see!
Gremlin’s Utopia is an enhanced version of Sim City where the action takes place on another planet. Pega- Sus iS a satanic blast featuring six levels of mayhem and the ability to increase your firepower consider- ably, while HeroQuest, which you'll all have already heard about by now, is a conversion of the best selling fantasy role playing board game, and is due for release very soon.
Also, don’t miss out on Switch- blade 2. The final version will contain six levels consisting of over 100

screens per level. Weaponry is aplenty with spin blades, machine- guns, firebombs, gas grenades, lasers, homing missiles and splash blades at your disposal in this game of ultimate destruction. Due for release around now at £24.99, it could be well worth spending your cash on.
Deserving a quick mention are Gremlin’s and EA’s budget labels. On Gremlin’s GBH label come Super- cars, Footballer of the Year II, Impos- samole, Venus, Ultimate Golf and Combo Racer. Each title will cost you a mere £9.99 at the most.
Star Performers, EA’s equivalent to Gremlin’s GBH, presents Flood, Projectyle and Starflight for £10.99 each.

Railroad Tycoon from Microprose has been available on the PC for a while and has been incredibly well received. ST owners can look for- ward to seeing the product some time around the end of May. Take a look back at previous news articles for more details.

A TARCET
Microprose’s sister company, Micro Style, announced their first attempt at a true flight simulation in Air Duel. ST Action were assured that the end result after months of hard work would be fantastic, allowing players to pilot aircraft from as far back as World War | to modern day combat planes. Air Duel will be able to cope with two players, either taking part using a_ split screen or linking together two STs by cable. | wonder what Microprose Simulations are making of all this?

Micro Style are also working on 3-D Golf in an attempt for a release date in the not too distant future.

Sierra are continuing with the success of their King's Quest series with King's Quest V. They claim that: “Never before has Sierra devoted so much of its resources into a single product."
Quest For Glory: Trial By Fire is
also due, combining adventuring and fantasy role-playing in one title.
etal Mutant is the ultimate future battle machine, sent to the planet Kronox to search out and destroy the tyrant Arod 7. A miracle of future bio-technological science, Mutant can transform at any stage into three different robotic forms. Mutant has a huge range of different combat moves as he fights his way across Kronox. He fights not just tooth and claw but tooth, claw, missiles, rope, shield, whip, torpedo, battle computer and remote flying droid. Metal Mutant is a science fiction exploration and combat epic featuring over 160 fully-bitmapped screens, 24 different combat moves, intriguing puzzles and more than _ 40 different enemies plus end of level guardians.

Well, | recommend that if you are considering buying a hand-held machine, don’t pay out anything until you've seen the Sega Game Gear, a full colour and easy to grasp console that is fantastic to play and will be well supported in terms of software availability. You should be able to pick one up for around £130 with a couple of games thrown in for good measure. Everybody on ST Action recommends it!

Finally, Paul and Jason found their way to the Virgin stand to uncover the secrets behind some of the com-
never matched before. Let's hope they're right.
147 3-D Snooker also looks promising and is being developed by Archer Maclean of International Karate fame. The usual features are included such as viewing the table from almost all conceivable angles, along with swerve and spin. It should be released around the same time as Realms.
Vektor Grafix, the team respon- sible for The Killing Cloud, are now working on Space Shuttle Simulator. You will be able to fly realistic mis- sions including SDI activities and recovering satellites that are making your BSB dish go all funny — or something like that. As we receive more details from Virgin, we will be sure to let you know.
Two more software items from Virgin include Rolling Ronny (roller skate about the city and generally shoot people) while Sarakon is an ancient Chinese puzzle game which

The ST budget market is really blossoming at the moment, with a lot of old classic games finding their way back onto the market at a cheaper price.
Mirrorsoft’s budget division — Mirror Image — have recently announced a couple of old titles the first of which is the classic Carrier Command. It features a combination of arcade and strategy coupled with amazing 3D filled vector graphics that are still among the best ever.
Carrier Command was a landmark in software at the time, and so is probably worth a place in anybody's col- lection for that reason alone. It’s available now and will cost you £9.99.
AWALRIIS mA’
Puzzle games are the flavour of the month at the moment as software houses strive to publish simple but addictive games. As well as Sliders, Palace also have Swap in the pipeline.
In it you have to clear a board of coloured tiles by swapping pairs around to create a line of the same colour which will then vanish.
You've got the opportunity to play in compe- tition mode or even against the clock. You can also change the size and shape of your tiles (the smaller ones are harder to get rid of).
Swap has all the hallmarks of being a compulsive puzzle game that requires thought, planning and concentration. It'll be out at the end of June although the price has yet to be announced.
Compilations are still pretty popular and the Monster Pack Volume One should prove no exception as Psygnosis have put together three pretty recent games in the one distinctive box.
The best of the bunch is undoubtably Nitro which went down a treat in the offices. For simultaneous three player racing action you can't get much better than this.
The second of the three games is Shadow of the Beast. Graphically and sonically stunning, Beast never quite fulfilled its potential as being one of the best games ever. The playability was slightly suspect, but it's definitely worth a look.
The final offering is Infestation. The game received rave reviews from the computer press and features excellent graphics and rates highly as an arcade adventure.
You should be able to find the Monster Pack at your shop now although there are no details of the price just yet.

INEVITABLY, SOME GAMES SHOWN MAY NOT YET BE RELEASED.
The greatest action simulation | on the ST and we & have it on this month's
Probably the world's most pla
yal
Two magnificent coverdisks on this month's ST Action and, on both, the best demos you will probably ever find. We have games from Liverpool based Psygnosis, Sheffield based Gremlin Graphics and Derby based Core Design.
ARMOUR-GEDDON
Psygnosis believe in doing things with style. The quality of this month’s Armour-Geddon coverdisk demo proves this beyond doubt.
Fly not only a fighter plane and bomber on a dangerous mission, but also take control of a deadly variety of armour. Equip each craft with an arsenal of firepower and you'll be ready to blow your enemies back to where they come from!
Armour-Geddon will hopefully be reviewed in next month’s issue. We’re absolutely sure it will appeal to most games fans with its exciting combination of gaming elements that demand strategic thought and quick reflexes from all players.
CHUCK ROCK
Comical capers as you take control of the cutest caveman ever to appear on the ST. Core Design's latest product is here for you to play with a level exclusive to ST Action.
Originality, Numour, exciting action and great playability are all here for you to enjoy.
You must progress to the end of the level without losing all your valuable lives. Watch your blood level for if you lose too much, a precious life is lost. Fortunately, collecting hearts that can be occasion- ally found around the level will improve your vitality no end.
Chuck Rock is highly enjoyable platform fun and shouldn't be missed. All you have to do now is load the demo.
SUPERCARS Il
The sequel to the excellent Supercars and quickly following Gremlin’s other racing masterpieces such as Lotus and Toyota Rally,
