1 - Commodore Is Awesome

NEWS
,,Anco has announced that the
long-awaited Kick Off 3 is to be
the company's last Amiga product.
After enjoying massive success
with the console versions of
K02. boss Anil Gupta has decided
to plough all future efforts into
more Sega and Nintendo work.
There are still no more details to
be had on Kick Off 3, nor on the
equally long-awaited Player Manager
2, as no-one was available for
comment at the time of going to
press. Both games are still due
before the end of the year but
beyond that, your guess really is
as good as ours
...With the lucrative Christmas
season getting closer every day,
Ocean is revving up for what
could be its biggest festive season
ever. This month it took the
wraps off its 199213 Amiga lineup
- and it's a bulging bag o'fun
if ever we saw one. The games
you can expect to see appearing
between now and the new year
include an isometric-3D arcade
adventure called Universal Monsters,
the official licence of the
forthcoming movie Cool World,
a new Golf game which, we're
told, blows everything else
away, WWF Wrestiemania 2
(woo!), The Addams Family 2
(actually the tie-in to the film's
spin-off cartoon series) and
Maxis' Sim Earth and a futuristic
arcade battler called Robosport.
It's going to be a long winter...
...Staying with Ocean, we've just
heard that the company's
supposed Lethal Weapon 3 licence
(revealed two months ago) is in
fact a generic Lethal Weapon
game, encompassing scenes from
all three movies. Apparently it was
decided that there wasn't enough
material in the third film alone to
make a whole game, so instead
they bundled the best bits of the
trilogy together and... Hey presto.
It's out for Christmas...
...Remember we told you a
while ago that Team 17 were
hoping to get Vic Reeves and
Bob Mortimer to provide the
sampled speech for their forthcoming
cutesy platformer
Superfrog? Well, the top comic
duo unfortunately turned down
the offer, so the hunt is now on
for someone else to do the voices
of Spud and Dudley...
WE'RE PUTTY'
POTTY! 0 4 1
We know vve've already previewed it,
but we thought we'd sneak in one
last mention of System 3's forthcoming
Silly Putty before we review it
next month. Why? Because it's looking
jolly smart, that's why.
There's little to add to the preview
information we ladled on a couple of
months ago, but we can tell you that
the guys and gals over at System 3
are on the verge of exploding Scanners-style
with excitement over this
one - one spokesman confidently predicted
that the wacky arcade funfest
could become a phenomenon of
almost Lemmings-like proportions.
Well, of course, you've heard all that
before and so have we - and though
we like what we see so far, we will of
course be reserving our official judgement
until next month. In the meantime,
you'll just have to feast your
eyes and wait patiently like everyone
else...

I. not really. The One's editorial team has moved through a phase of evolution and upheaval (or something),
• w your favourite Amiga games magazine is being created by an even more streamlined, razor-sharp team of gal
ing commandos.
So what's happened. then? Well, snivelling turncoat Editor Jim Douglas has left to head up the launch of EMAI
super new official Nintendo magazine, so you'll not be reading any more of his acid wit. (Hooray! - The entire rea
ership). What this means is that big boy Dave Upchurch is your flamboyant new Editor, and even bigger boy Gary Wh
ta his toadying Deputy. We've got a new Staff Writer too, but we can't say much at the moment because it's very hu5
hush and all that. But fear not, all shall be revealed next month.
Apart from that, nothing's changed. We'll continue to do good things (like getting those big stories first) and avc
doing bad things (like ending every other sentence with some peurile and over-indulgent quote from Wayne's Won
in our on-going mission to provide you with the best Amiga games magazine that money can buy. What a gre
bunch of guys we are.
