Meet The YS94 Team!

Colin Woodcock Colin looks back fondly on the legend that was YS, his favourite issue being 23. Why that particular issue? Was it the cool Werewolves of London artwork on the cover? Was it the team's day trip to Alton Towers? No, it was Elite's amazing Batty game on the covertape. A corker of a game, and not commercially available at the time.   Martyn Carroll Martyn confesses to being a bit of a Speccy mag whore, flirting between Your Sinclair and Crash, his choice often depending on who had the best covertape. He even admits to dabbling with the dark side (Sinclair User). Favourite issue? That would have to be issue 36, 'cos it had TWO TAPES stuck to the front of the mag.   Dan Whitehead Scary Dan's favourite issue is 93, the Big Final Issue. Not because it was the last one or anything, but because it was testament to the staying power of the YS. A Speccy mag published at the arse-end of 1993? Amazing. And with no free tape, it reminded Dan of the sweet days before the ugly covertape wars.      SCORES      90°-100° Getting up to fever temperature! Miss a game that's this red-hot and you'll get the blues - we guarantee it! Any game that rates an overall score of 90 or above gets the esteemed YS Megagame rating! It's a happening piece of software! 80°-89° PDG! (ie Pretty Damn Good!) A game that's worth digging deep into the old dosh bucket for! 70°-79° A very enjoyable game, but might not be of lasting appeal to everybody. 60°-69° A few niggles. Lacking in certain areas. Think before you buy! 50°-59° Pretty average. Very average in fact. Actually, it's a bit crap. 40°-49° Um, below average. 30°-39° So sick it's due to be hospitalised. 20°-29° Very poorly indeed. 10°-19° Critical - not expected to last the night. 0°-9° Clinically dead. Many thanks to the YS94 crew and Imagine Publishing for providing tons of original material!
