Issue Summary

After several months of excellent Gary Harrod-produced cover art, it seems he was given a well-deserved rest for this issue. The Duck Tales image that was used may not be the most striking, but at least the game was good.

Elsewhere, both Sega machines saw a conversion of the Operation Wolf-inspired coin-op Dynamite Duke. I recall putting quite a bit of spare change into the game myself 'back in the day' and having an almost arcade-perfect version to play on my Megadrive was very pleasing. Shame it was far too easy to complete.

Aeroblasters is something of a cult classic these days but back in 1991 it was viewed by the MM team as 'just another blaster'. The Megadrive was getting bogged down with 2D shooters at the time - and not all of them were as good as Aeroblasters and Gynoug - which was also reviewed this issue and deserved a little more than 88%, in my opinion.
