Issue Summary

This issue is historical in as much as it's the only recorded example of Ultraman, that zany Japanese rubber-suited superhero, being on the cover of a mainstream UK videogames magazine. Ah, those were the days...

Alongside the actually-quite-average Ultraman there was another Super Famicom title in the form of the spiffing F-Zero, which I'm sure will need no introduction. Other than that, it was a quiet month on all formats, truth be told. The Megadrive was exposed to the silly-but-fun Wrestle War, whereas the Master System was granted a passable conversion of Capcom's Forgotten Worlds. The only other game of note was the excellent Boy and his Blob on the NES.

This issue also marked the appearance of a certain Mr Richard Leadbetter, who jumped ship from sister magazine CVG. And if that wasn't a big enough treat in itself, there was a free gift in the shape of some glow in the dark stickers, born of the warped mind of Gary Harrod. Mine remain stuck to a wardrobe at my parents house, still glowing away and puzzling guests after all these years. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
