General

US Gold botches up OutRun, but it still sells massively, outselling Christmas Number Two Game Match Day II by around 2.5:1. Not surprisingly, more than half of all full price sales are attributed to US Gold and Ocean. But Ocean were just warming up...
    Matthew Smith's Attack of the Flesh Eating Mutant Chickens From Mars is officially cancelled by Software Projects. The man then went missing until 1999... The game itself appeared later as Star Paws.
    Hardware special, notable products being MGT's Plus D disk drive and Romantic Robot's Multiface 3.
    Pacmania, Typhoon and Tiger Road feature in Slots of Fun.
    The rise of female gameplayers is noted by John Minson.
