General

Download Cover Tape YS cover tapes come of age - as well as having a game (this time the so-so Dustin from Dinamic), it had a playable demo of Hewson's Cybernoid II.
    PC Show '88 feature.
    The Great Giana Sisters is reviewed but never released due to Nintendo claiming it was too similar to Super Mario Bros.
    The New Zealand Story and Altered Beast are reviewed in Slots of Fun.
    Domark's Dominic Wheatley and Mark Strachan are inteviewed.
    Re-release labels are the new craze, with US Gold and Ocean launching Kixx and Hit Squad labels respectively. Games which are over roughly 18 months old are rereleased at £2.99. Little did they know that these labels would help kill the games market eventually...
