On the ball

Grandslam also have two sports sims lined

up for 1992. Liverpool, surprisingly

enough, is a football game based on the

legendary Merseyside team — no, not

Tranmere Rovers! Grandslam are

promising 'a new viewpoint for a soccer

game' — just when you thought you'd seen

them all! The game will also feature

League, FA Cup and European

competitions when it kicks off 'before the

end of the season'.

If you like dressing up in baggy trousers

and polo-neck sweater Nick Faido's Golf

should be right down your fairway.

Programmed by Arc Developments the

game will include a training section based

on Faido's training videos and should tee

off sometime in late summer.

FAT CHANCE! w-h

ZZAP! GETS A

NEW EDITOR!

At last I have the power! O000h yes! This

is the life, putting my feet up, eating

countless cheese baps and watching Star

Trek. Erm. no way! Look what it did to

Stu. Yes, he was rushed into Ludlow

hospital's geriatric ward with severe

stomach pains. In this vulnerable state he

succumbed to Sega games. edited our

sister mag Sega Force before defecting

(tut tut!) to Sega Pro.

So now I'm in charge of ZZAP!, telling

Staff Writers Ian Osborne, Lloyd

Mangram and Corky Caswell what to do

and where to go!). Sadly Sega Force

while ZZAPI got the not-so-delGoy!t, sintisi, you'll probably

still see the odd contnbution from Claire

and the other Si3ga Forcers.

So how will all this affect ZZAPI? Welt,

not a lot. I hope to maintain the same high

editorial standards as before with

accurate, informative reviews, the latest

news and previews, all your lave regulars,

plus some new features.

One of these is a regular public

column (starting this ish!) — as

requested by many readers l'

got quite a few other fascinat

projects (and hankies) up my

sleeve for future months —

you'll have to wait and se&

Phil King

Dam If!

Finally, after Creatures and Lemmings

comes possibly the cuddliest computer

game yet: Beavers.

Jethro Beaver is the hero of the piece.

He's had his girlfriend stolen by the evil fox

gang — she's obviously a foxy lady! Eager

beaver Jethro goes straight to the rescue,

journeying through four levels — each

divided into four subsections inhabited by

hostile wildlife.

Level 1 is the evergreen forest with pine-

throwing raccoons — knocked out of their

trees by shaking the trunks! More friendly

animals include turtles and leaping salmon

which can be jumped on to traverse rivers

(Counsellor Troi from Star Trek: The Next

Generation). Mainly because they both wear

short skirts and have big... erm. eyes.

His hobbies include taking the pee out of

people, collecting comics (especially Star

Trek, Deathlock, She-Hulk and Deathshead)

and listening to most music. Favourites

include Kraftwerk, Camouﬂage, The Doobie

Brothers, Gary Numan (with and without

Tubeway Army), Bauhaus and Queen. He is

also famed (and cursed) around the ofﬁce

for wearing eye-warping shirts. His fave C64

games include Dropzone, Smash TV,

Hudson Hawk and Speedball 2.

AT LAST, IT'S

CORKY!

After compiling the MAP! tips and arcade

round-ups for the last few months, Mark

'Corky' Caswell has ﬁnally ofﬁcially joined

the ZZAPI fold and left CRASH — which

he's worked on for an incredible four-and-a-

half years! If you don't know him well

enough by now, here's his proﬁle...

MARK 1

DEAT

CAS WELL

GRAND PLANS

Grandslam Video are starting the New

Year with a bang, with four exciting

releases in the pipeline. Most imminent is

Die Hard 2. the conversion of Bruce

Willis's explosive movie. If you haven't

seen it yet, here's a resume of the

ludicrous plot:

Terrorists have taken over an American

airport at Christmas time, stopping the

airplanes circling above from landing

anywhere — yes, America has only one

airport! American special forces are sent

in to deal with the terrorists but, in fact,_

are traitors in league with them — no-one

spots this as the blue bullets they ﬁre at

the terrorists are blanks! The terrorists

themselves want to free a drug-running

South American dictator, But they didn't

Known as Corky to his friends

(and sir to anyone under 5' 5"

tall), Mark is 27 years old (the

OAP of the ZZAP! ofﬁce) and

hails from Slough (an obscure

town in the south with possibly

the worst looty team around).

He is totally bonkers and enjoys bopping

around the ofﬁce to James Brown, picking

ﬁghts with innocent ﬁling cabinets and

drinking enough coffee to ﬂoat a battleship.

He thinks his reviewers head with the green

face (that's what our coffee does for you)

and bolt through the neck is far too

ﬂattering, and should be changed to reﬂect

his true self (if that happened ZZAPI would

be banned from the shelves — Ed).

His major aim in life is to go on a blind

date with CRASH Ed, Lucy Hickman (good

God, that'd be more like a blindfolded date!

— Ed) or failing that, Marina Sits

reckon on the presence of John McClane

(Bruce) whose wife just happens to be

onboard one of the planes!

Okay, so it was panned by the critics,

but it's still one of Markie's favourite ﬁlms!

And there's certainly plenty of action,

translated onto the C64 in the form of ﬁve

levels, including a luggage hall battle, a

snowmobile chase and an epic on-the-

wing plane struggle. In between each of

these is one of several mind-boggling

subgames such as air trafﬁc control,

ﬁngerprint matching and radio

communication.

The game is being programmed by

veterans Tiertex, the team behind

countless US Gold coin-op conversions,

including Thunder Blade, Last Duel and

Strider. Watch out for the ZZAPI review

next ish.
