Notice anything missing in this ssues Spot-The-Balls-Up competition -- apart from the ball stupid. Yeah. Activisions own Andrew 'I'm really hip and trendy and don't know a thing about computers' Wright. We'd heard that getting Ands to take his trousers off would be no bother at all -- he's done it enough times before. But no. Andy wouldn't spare us his blushes and more to the point had no intention of donning a pair of shorts, not even for the YS team. Maybe he didn't want to put me to shame! Talking of Activision it's got quite a few games up its sleeve for later releases this year. Koronis Rift, a Commodore (boo, hiss, boo) conversion should be out in May/June and its also converting On-Court Tennis. Advantage to Activision. Meanwhile megahip CRL has gone completely Spandau Ballet. It's taken a new label under its wing called Nu Wave that'll release all its weirdo titles. Where does that leave CRL I ask myself. First Nu game'll be ID and it's all about Id who's completely helpless and needs you to discover where he comes from and his sordid past. But you've gotta get him to trust you first and that'll take time and a lot of conversation. And you'd better not make any Freudian slips or I'll take you over. Mel Croucher of Automata had a hand in writing it so it's bound to be weird. See for yourself 'cos it's reviewed this issue. Sounds a bit ID-iotic to me. Here's something heavy. Those boys at Odin have a few tricks up their sleeves. Icups, on the Thor label, should be out pretty soon and Kimera will follow it. Hic! Ummmm.. err' what else is happening. Oh yes. Those red faced boys at Domark are making plans for a new James Bond game that'll feature a recent James Bond film. Which one, I don't know. Could be Octopussy. or maybe Never Say Never Again. You'll just have to wait and see. Looks like the Wild Women Of Wonga are making a comeback in US Gold's new arcade adventure Amazon Women. Let's hope its got a somewhat stronger plot. Who Dares Wins... And Alligata certainly did in its fight to bring out a game of the same name. Who Dares Wins'll be out by the time you've read this. And now for a whodunnit from Datasoft: News is it's bringing out 221b Baker Street, a fantasy role-playing game that takes place on the streets of London. You've gotta solve a lot of cases in true Sherlock style but I'm telling you the plot. Datasoft is also releasing Crosscheck - a crossword game. Mind Pursuit - a computerised Trivial Pursuit and possibly Pole Position II. It's all elementary my dear Datasoft. Wot's this then? Level 9's new adventure game, The Price Of Magic. The aim is to progress from the magician's apprentice to Arch Mage and you've got 18 magic spells to do so. Now that's magic! Good news for Scooby Doo fans. After being written, scrapped, rewritten and scrapped again Elite says it's being written again by schhhhhhh you know who! It's also releasing Bombjack, an arcade extravaganza, and Ghosts And Goblins from the people who brought you Commando. At least that's not a shaggy dog story. Hey, listen to this, it's really hot. Saga is bringing out another keyboard. Yup the Saga 4. But this one is infrared -- wow. Maybe you can use it to cook your Sunday roast. Talking of Sagas, the ongoing YS office romance between Gwyn Hughes and Rachael Smith is now definitely off... sorry it's not it's on... oh no it's... Teresa Maughan
