Interesting link. This. Domark having made a bit of a boob with Friday 13th is definitely producing a game based on the James Bond movie Live And Let Die. Boy racers Dominic and Mark are also in the throes of signing a few more licensing deals but they're keeping stumm on whether it'll be for another film. Everyone's catching the licensing bug. Those complete-and-utter-nutters at Orpheus are hoping to secure another contract for a game based on a TV program. Other than that its converting a Commie 64 game (spit, spit) to the Spectrum (yipee) and it's called The Web. And.,guess what? Well, If you can't guess I'm certainly not going to tell you. Oh okay then I'll give you a clue. Elite.. licensing deal, again... Arcade Classic... Paper Boy. Got it? Watch this space for more details. Eh up flowers Let's go t'pub wi' t' whippet an' ferret t'play Alligata's new game Pub Games! It's got all the old favourites... darts, dominos, table football, pool and pontoon. There's nowt quite like it. If you've played Back To Skool you may well be wondering who Sam Cruise is. Who indeed. If there's no one also listening I can tell you Contact Sam Cruise is actually Microsphere's new 1940's style detective game and it promises to be big schhhhh. And while we're on the subject, did any of you Trainspotters out there notice the mistake in the Sam Cruise ad in last issue? Thought not - you really are slipping you know. Crumbs! YS nearly came a cropper last month when Young Ones' star Nigel Planer's agents rang up to sound off about issue 2's cover. Luckily they didn't have a leg to stand on... least not after we sent Vyvyan round to deal with 'em. There's no pleasing some people. Remember last month I told you about Saga's new infrared keyboard? It's now been christened the 2001 and it's remote controlled so you can wander off to the Ioo while typing in the YS program pull-out. Wipe that smirk off your face -- we don't want any smut about using YS as Ioo roll -- this is not yer average bog standard magazine. Hmmmmm. Isn't it great to be sooooo very popular. The programmers converting Fairlight to the Commie 64 and Amstrad are using the Fairlight map in YS issue 1 to find their way about. Impeccable taste. Enough of all this sickly, sugary sweetness. Yeurrrch! Let's get on with some more skulduggery. PSS is on the warpath again. Tactics are to release Commie conversions of Battle Of Britain and Theatre Europe. It's also on a manoeuvre to produce Iwo Jima. Hrrummph! Naughty naughty! If you want to know why Activision's Ballblazer hasn't reared its ugly head yet it's because Lucas Films told the programmers it wasn't up to scratch and sent them off to have another bash. Should be good when it does arrive! Oh and here's some really good news It's now been decided which games'Il feature on the Off The Hook tape that'll hopefully raise money to help drug addicts. Are you ready for it? Here goes.. Pitfall II, Cytron, Fall Guy, Sam Stoat, Ad Astra, Splat, Mugsy, Kong Strikes Back. Chequered Flag and Blue Max Great stuff! And now for the Tasteless Scrooge Award. Really... does Argus Press Software have to compare its latest compilation of 30 games with those of Softaid and Off The Hook? And even worse... describe them as 'miserly'. At least all the profits of those compilation tapes go to a good cause which is monthan than you can say for the profits of 30 Games. Oh, and before I go the Pandora portable (note lack of cheap'n'smutty cricketing jokes) will be launched at the end of the year and rumours are that it'll use the Aston credit-card form of storage. Don't leave home without it. And that, as they say, is that! Teresa Maughan
