AMIGA
BEACH
VOLLEY
This is one hell of a tough
game. but Neil Wessell of
Peacehaven in East Sussex
has a useful tip to help those
who are having trouble getting
to later levels. Just type
in DADDY BRACEY while
you're playing and then you
can press Fl to skip the level.
MEGA-

LAST
BATTLE
Here's a useful tip for Last
Battle owners from the Sega
Mega Man and the Konami
Kid. For a sort of level skip
function, when you've finished
a game, press the A, B
and C buttons down together
along with the start button.
You're presented with a
screen that lets you alter the
order of the levels.
SUPER
HANG-ON
Another great tip from the
massive bag of brilliant
new games. This month
Steven Haw of Warley wins
all that lovely software...
Sega Mega Man and the Konami
Kid, this time for this
superb motorcycle racing
game. On the title screen
hold down the A, 13 and C buttons
together and press start
and you're presented with a
screen which lets you select
the difficulty, time and sound
test. Great, eh? By the way,
we'll be reviewing this game
next month - watch out for it?
GENERALaill
HARD
DRIVIN'
I don't know what format this
tip works on, 'cos sender
Paul Ramsell from Kirkby in
Ashfield didn't say, but try it
out on your machine because
it's quite neat. When the program
loads, select manual
shift with no clutch and start
the game, As you move off
up the hill get into 4th gear as
quickly as possible (using 1-4
on the keyboard) and stay in
the right hand lane. When
you reach the top of the first
hill your car should leave the
road for a second, and when
this happens the speedo
goes to 140 mph. Before you
land, press the N key to put
the car in neutral. You will
now be able to complete the
course without skidding or
having to brake. Also if you
run out of time you keep
going at the same speed,
even though the engine
sound drops to tick-over.
Selecting neutral at any
stage of the game stops you
from skidding and you maintain
your speed regardless of
the amount of time remaining.
The above tip, apparently,
works on the Speed Course.
but can also be utilised on
the Stunt Course. The only
thing you have to remember
there is to select lst gear just
before you go round the loop,
and as you leave the loop accelerate
and select neutral,

STORY
G Ingham of Wootton Wawer
(I think that's the name of the
place, but I can't really tell
'cos the writing's all dodgy)
has a tip for those who are
having trouble getting past
the giant octopus at the end
of level 2.4. Stand at the entrance
of the room in which
it's located and fire to the
right a few times. A warp appears
which takes you to the
beginning of level 3.1, missing
the dreaded octopus entirely?

BEAST
If you fancy loading any level,
and even the end-of-game
message. just do what Steve
Haw from Warley in the West
Midlands does - press the
whole keyboard while you're
playing!
FORGOTTEN
WORLDS
Here's a POKE for Multiface
owners who really want to indulge
in extreme laziness
and make this game so easy
you don't actually need to
play it Load the game, press
the red button and type
POKE 30271,0, It gets rid of
all the enemy sprites and has
an interesting effect in twoplayer
mode. Thankyouverymuch
Steven Haw.
