December 1988 Issue 36

YS became the first Speccy magazine to have TWO cover tapes. Shame really that they could have put everything on one tape and had to charge £1.95 (a fortune then for a Speccy mag!) to cover costs. The tape contained Star Raiders II (Electric Dreams, 8, June 1987), Quarx (original game by Greg Jackson), a demo of Electronic Arts Skate or Die, and a novelty item in the form of the Afterburner arcade soundtrack.     The YS journos decided to drop Frontlines and Street Life to get Pssst...     Afterburner previewed, plus instructions on how to make your own pneumatic Afterburner cabinet using a car seat, twelve heavy-duty springs and ten large cans of Heinz curried beans...     Chase HQ covered in Slots of Fun - and the reviewer thought it would never convert well to the Spectrum because of how OutRun turned out...     PC Show Vox Pop.     After Domark's success with the conversion of the Star Wars Trilogy coin-ops, Atari forms a deal with them which gives them exclusive rights to new Atari arcade games.     MGT's TwoFace is reviewed.
