February 1989 Issue 38

Cover tape contains Alien Evolution (Gremlin, 8, July 1987) and demos of Hewson's Stormlord and US Gold's Last Duel.     Interviews with software houses about possible support for the Sinclair PC 200. General concensus is that the machine was misplaced. It was not attractive to existing 8-bit users, and new computer buyers would probably buy an Amiga or Atari ST instead of the under-spec PC 200. Software houses praised it's potential as an educational machine and that Amstrad was behind it, so it would be a success. Unfortunately Amstrad botched the launch big time (no manuals, operating system, monitor, games, etc...) which affected sales so badly that they conveniently forgot about it soon after.     Porn returns to the Speccy. The porn squad impounded shipments of a game by US software company ASoft called Sex Vixens From Space. ASoft's boss says, "The game's been hyped up, but there isn't really that much sexual content. It's a heck of a lot tamer than Strip Poker". The porn squad disagreed.
