MORE CHANGES TO THE COVER!

What's this I hear you say! You have

changed the cover again. Correct

but it's really all your tault. For

some time now readers have been

suggesting more prominence

should be given to the word.

Amstrad, on the cover, and at last

t have been able to persuade CXiver

to carry out the necessary artwork.

RE-THINk ON RATINGS

As I write we're just coming to the

end of another busy schedule. It's

been quite a hectic month one way

or another - what with the Amstrad

show and all that followed after.

There's also been a fair number of

new games arriving at the lowers.

Unfortunately of the 29 that arrived

only one made it to the top. Little

Computer People - and even that

•sn't a game in the strictest sense

of the word! However, we did give

Dragon's Lair and Football For-

tunes a more space than is usually

allocated to a review because the

team felt they deserved ft. Sadly,

the vast majority of games all

appeared mediocre, let's hope the

situation changes for the next

issue.

Richard and Massimo have

been wandering around for a few

days with a big "think bubble"

above their heads. The reason?

Weil, it's these Accolades ...

Since the beginning they've only

been awarded to games that top

90% on the "Overall" mark. From

now on that's being dropped'

We're going to become more flexi-

ble - m future Accolades won't

necessanly have to get 90% over-

all - they can gleefully hover

around 65% and upwards and still

earn a coveted award. However, as

another measure of greatness we

are introducing the three page

Accolade, starting this issue.

Games which really impress the

team will be given a highly detailed

review - you'll notice this with LCP

which also includes the absolutely

official detailed guide to an LCP

abode on the following page. By

including this service we hope to

be able to give you a fairer assess-

ment of excellent games, which in

turn should help you, the reader,

decide whether or not to buy any

particular game.
