You start at the edge of the
city, make your way to the
landmark, turn the building into
rubble and then leave the city
again.
Escape: Your objective is to
escape from your chosen city.
You must have been sleeping,
or daydreaming about eating
Paris in the springtime, but
those pesky human creatures
caught you off guard. You were
captured. But you're going to
escape. You've just broken free
in the middle of the city to
escape, you must exit the
screen at the edge of town in
any direction as fast as you can.
The safest path is away from
the tanks, even if you have to
crush a few buildings or other
obstacles that get in your way.

your last square meal, and the

Remember Psi Warrior, the old
Beyond o game of a couple of
years f back, and the cartoon
strip N based e on the character in
C+VG? x uWell,
he's back. This
time on a secret mission to find
the s secrets ' of the ancients
which g have been buried deep
within a a pyramid.
mThe
secrets are protected by a
complex colour coded maze,
guardians e which patrol the
pyramid's s levels, vapourising
mats s and mats which allow you

went out of business. You are
ravenous. Your objective is to
enter the city and gulp down
everything in sight. Eat as much
as you can before you're
destroyed, so keep an eye on
the hunger indicator as you
munch away. Of course, if you
don't want a ticket to Monster
Heaven you can try to get out
again, but only after your
hunger indicator has dropped
to zero. And look out, the
National Guard has arrived!
Watch the hunger indicator
whenever you eat something,
and you'll seen discover the
food monsters love best!
Search: Those nasty humans
have your young one, and
you're going to turn the city
upside down until you find him.
Your objective is to enter the
city and demolish everything in
sight until you locate the little
guy. Occasionally you can hear

gun which fires a net, and riding
a sort of floating surfboard,
slips and slides his way through
the pyramid. Controling the
surfboard is very tricky at first,
and your six lives disappear at
an alarming rate as the Warrior
kills himself on horrific
collisions or touches the
vapourising mats. Dexterity
comes with practice.
The key to moving onto lower
floors is colour, The Warrior's
suit must be the same colour as
the floor. Moving onto a floor
without having the correct
match will cost a life.
Netting the guardians which
patrol the levels moves the
colour switch left or right,
enabling the suit colour to
the young one's cry. The
proximity indicator in the menu
window will randomly appear
during play to indicate how far
away he is. When you've
located the building he is in,
knock it down quick.
Berserk: Cities are an
incredible nuisance, and you'd
like nothing better than to take
revenge on those nasty
humans. Your objective is to
enter the city and destroy as
much as you can before your
endurance runs out. You will be
awarded points for all buildings
and objects that you destroy.
There's also a bonus for leaving
the city alive. This is the best
scenario!
Each city has a different map
and is packed with well known
landmarks. In San Fransisco
you'll find the Golden Gate
!Bridge while in London your
monster will come across Big
Ben.
Graphics are pretty good —
especially the Godzilla, Glog
and spider monsters. Sound is
nice—with brilliant slimy
sounds for The Glog and
screams from Godzilla. Plus
many more
I love monster films —the
dodgier the better! So I liked
this game. It's well put together,
brilliantly presented and
enjoyable to play.

change.
However once you've
managed to get the correct suit
colour your troubles are not
over. When you move onto the
floor your suit flashes which
means you are vulnerable to
attack from the guardians. To
survive you must zap the
guardians, enabling you to
change suit colour again.
Confusing, itsn't it. It's much
easier to play it than say it.
The screen layout is well
designed. The top part is taken
up with indicators for the colour
switch, suit colour, and
damage. The bottom section

shows your current location
within the pyramid. The rest is
taken up with the playing area.
Zipping and zapping around
the levels is great fun. There's a
great sense of achievement as
you use a bounce mat to lift you
clear of a seemingly impossible
obstacle — only to be frustrated
at being catapulted onto a
vapounsing mat.

So you think you know better
than the likes of Bobby Robson,
eh? Well now's your chance to
prove it. You've got a team, a
budget, and 15 league matches
to play.
You're starting at the bottom
of the fourth division with
everything to play for, It's over
to you, pal. .
No, not so easy, is it? You've
got your squad, but six of them
rate low on fitness, one is
injured, and several don't
measure up in skill,
You've got a fixture coming
up against Crewe, and juggle
the team as you might, your
boys just don't compare with
their opponent's in attack,
midfi eld or in fitness. True,
you're about equal in defence,
but that's not going to get you
very far, is it
OK, so you lost that match
3-0. That means you're still
stuck at the bottom, and you
need to be in the top three to
win promotion at the end of the
season.
The punters are counting on
it. Gate receipts won't hold up if
your performance is
disappointing. Yeah, you could
buy that promising attack
player, he's good value, but that
will put you further into the red.
You could recoup by selling
that useless midfield player,
Whatsisname, but you'll need
to spend more on training if the
lads are to have any chance
against United. And don't
forget, your goalie might be the
best in the world but he's
exhausted and you'll have to
rest him
If you ask me, all those muchreviled
managers got together
and wrote this game just to get
their own back on the armchair
critics.
It's good fun, whether you're
a football freak or not, although
the presentation is pretty ropey
— mostly horrible mode twotype
text, unpleasant to read.
I can tell you, after this you'll
think twice before you slam the
manager. after your team has
gone down the tubes for yet
anothnr season.
