| \ \ | | \ ||
| \ \| | \ || Issue 3 - May 4th, 1997 - New Games Reviewed:
| \ | | \ \|| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

|__| \____|/ Cruis N' USA *PAL*
Killer Instinct Gold *PAL*
News since the last issue:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- From WWW.DEXTROSE.COM -> We learn from our as usual well-informed sources
that Bung is going to develop new features to the V64 so the User can
"remote-control the memory editing inside the V64 by using a "PC". Also
there will be information released how to enhance the V64 Bios. The
so-called "Remote-Control" will be released mid-may, while the other
information will be ready for the end of May. So stay tuned!
- RBubba has always programmed for us, he has brought use the multisession
BIOS and now hi greatness has presented us with something even better!
A SRAM save, even though it uses the CONTROLLER PAKS, it is still better
than no SRAM support!
- BTW This issue was released a little earlier, thanks to REDBOX hehehe...
He said he'll get mad if I don't release it soon! Hahahaha... =)

Strider -> STARFOX 64, Needs the rumble crack PAK =) Actually that's what
I thought in the beginning, however with JOVIS' crack it works
great. This is a nice game to play since we haven't had anything
to play since BLAST CORPS =) [Mahjong 64? Nah... Heh...] Anyway
this game was a nice improvement over its SNES counterpart, no
more polygon characters, they now look pretty real. The game has
many hidden boards, which appear depending what you do during the
game. One of my favorite is the ID4 board, looks great hehe... The
only complaint I have with the game is the 2 player mode, it still
shows the game in 4-player split screen. Making it small is hard to
see. The multiplayer mode is somewhat fun, but gets old easily.
Hopefully most people out there will not get bored of this game
too quickly (Because this game is pretty good.) Maybe the next
game release will keep you busy. (WARGODS) One more note, I love
the bosses in the game heheh...
Strider -> RATINGS 8/10 [Would be better, but for some reason this game gets
after a while... Weird...]

Memory Manager 1.0 beta
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By R.Bubba Magillicutty
This program is the best of RBubba's creations. Since there is still no way
to save SRAM on your PC, RBubba was smart to create it to save on your
controller paks. New BIOS soon? v1.30MS by RBubba? Hmm, maybe soon...
