••• PREVIEW '88Preview '88 was held lastmonth and follows hot on theheels of the Japanese Coin'opShow, JAMMA. It's at about thistime of every year that the showis staged to inform distributorsand dealers what are going tobe the new biggies in thecoming year.Sadly there wasn't a hugenumber of new games to beseen, and the really good oneswere pretty thin on the ground.Operation Wolf, Wardner,and Full Throttle have beencovered in some depth andSega's After Burner is alreadyfiltering through to selectedarcades.A Atter BurnerIn fact, After Burner's alreadybeen updated to include somenew features which are awelcome addition. The mostimportant feature which I feltwas missing on the early modelI played was the lack of athrottle whereby your jet'sspeed could be reduced slightlyto negotiate some of the moretortuous screens. That has nowbeen added and works in thesame way to that of a gear stickor racing sims. Push forwardsto slow down or backwards tospeed up. The graphics havebeen turned upside down onthe new version too_ Now thereare night scenes in which youhurtle through the skies in thepitch black and all you see in thedistance are the burning jetstreams of enemy fighterszooming towards you. Landingstrips now appear and you canwatch as tankers trundle Out torefuel and ground crew patchup the damage.A great game which comes inthree models, upright, theCommander version whichincorporates a seat but has onlytwo-way cockpit rotation andthe Super Delux model whichfeatures all mod-cons plus fourwaycockpit motion. Enough tomake you air sick but it's a hellof a ride.Free Kick from SegatNiha isan idea ripped off fromArkanold/Breakout. Still,whatever form this game takesits always addictive and FreeKick is based on football. Youstill control a moving basewhich must be used to catchand bounce the ball back up thescreen. However, instead ofknocking out a brick wall, youmust send the football back intothe football team which isweaving intricate patternsround the screen. The ball, asusual, cannons off the players,knocking some Out instantly,other have to be hit more thanA Free Kick.once. New screens can only bereached when you'veeliminated all the players or byscoring enought goal points. Ifyou are luckly, and skill doescome into it, a goal can bescored though you have to getthe ball past the goalie first,Moles appear, digging up thepitch and then quicklydisappearing, though apart fromdeflecting the ball I couldn'twork out what they were for.Break Out clones have beendone to death, but Free Kick iswell worth playing.Taito's Rainbow <strong>Is</strong>lands isBubble Bobble II and is justas cute. The game is made up ofseven islands and there are fourscenes to clear on each island.Climb to the summit of eachisland by jumping from ledge toledge and climbing rainbows.Rainbows can be made toappear and you can structurethem in steps to cross largegaps. Pick fruit to increase yourstamina and kill a myriad ofnasties by using the rainbowsas weapons. Trap a nastie in arainbow and it won't be able tomove for a short while, or spella rainbow into the path of amonster to kill it. And you caneven use the rainbow as a smartbomb to kill all the nastiescreeping up from behind.Amazingly bright and colourfulgraphics, Rainbow <strong>Is</strong>landlooks set to be yet another hit.Capcom's Street Fighter isyet another of the martial artsgenre with some huge sprites.The characters are among themost realistic I've seen and theaction is intense. At least it iswhen you've mastered theV Street fighter.controls. It's a one or two playergame and you must smasheight mean looking opponentsfrom Japan, USA, England,China and Thailand. Each gameis won by winning the best ofthree rounds and thecompetition is intense. Puches,kicks. stoop kicks, flip kicks andbackward flips are just a few ofthe moves to master. Thecabinet comes as a standardupright with the usual joystickand button controls, or a Deluxeversion which is much morefun.Road Racer from Euromaxis a bicycle simulation whichyou are more likely to find inA Rood Racerrecreation and shoppingcentres, gyms and the like. It'san exercise bicycle with a builtin bike game and seems to becreating quite a bit of interest.No longer do you have to lookat a blank wall while pedallingaway like mad to keep fit. Justget up on Road Racer and playthe arcade game. The faster youpedal, the faster your bike willmove on the screen — and itkeeps an accurate account ofyour speed. Whizz round a trackstrewn with obstacles and beatthe other riders to the winningpost while keeping a watch forpuddles, oil slicks and maniaccar drivers.Sky Wolf is a very mediocrechopper game and in manyways similar to Choplifter.Steer your chopper throughenemy skies shooting downsquadrons of attackinghelicopters and jets. Thesedon't shoot at you in earlylevels but if you hit one you're agonner. Next comesparachutists which must betreated in the same way andthen you're attacked by surface1) 19422) Wonder Boy3) Arkanoid4) Tiger Hali5) Ghosts 'n' Goblins6) Bubble Bobble7) Rygar8) Choplifter9) Star Force10) CommandoAtand though it's resonablyplayable, the sprites are minuteoand the movement of thechopper S must be about themost : unrealistic I've ever seen.iCharge is a one man in atank against the enemy' type.Guideyyour tank into the emenyterritory, r shooting down theattacking T forces.

It is a two playergame i in which you play adragon or giant. Both are prettymeangthough the dragon seemsto hhave the edge as he can snonout t flames to torch attackingnasties. The graphics are prettyslick though a little cramped. InRoad Wars you control abattle sphere making itsuntiring way up a never endinghighway. The idea is to becomeKing of the Road and to do thatyou must clear the track of killersparks, spikes and otherobstacles. To get onto newlevels, certain panels at the sideof the road must be blasted out.Ca pcomSegaTaitoTait°CapcomTait°TechmoSegaTehkanCapcomThe Top Ten is compiled by Euromax and showsthe most popular games nationwide.
