You have the ﬂexibility to display

either an overhead map view of the

surrounding area, a simulated 3-d

view of the battleﬁeld, or a status

screen showing the performance of

all vehicles in a platoon. Irrespective

of which screen mode you choose during

battl e, there is a constant column of

FULLCOLOURgamesreviews.AndnotonlythatbutTWOfree

cassettes full of EIGHT complete games and loads of COLOUR throughout

the rest of the magazine. But if we fade back into the realms of seriousness

for one brief nanosecond I think you'll agree that this issue of YC is a little

different from the rest. ITS A WHOPPER!

So how did this incredible change come about? This is a rough

description of what happened...

I was twiddling my thumbs one day when I suddenly realised that YC

would be even more rad, even more bodacious, if it had even more colour. So

I trotted into the publisher's ofﬁce and said "I want more colour NOW!"

When I came round, I picked myself off the ﬂoor outside the said ofﬁce

and went to Woolys and bought a packet of crayons. When the mag came in

the ofﬁce I stayed awake for a couple of weeks, drinking loads of cans of

coke and tonnes of tea, and coloured in all the mono pages, and most of the

screenshots.

Now I'm going to go to bed to sleep for a year, and if anybody disturbs me

they'll be very sorry!

Zzzzzzzz Zzzzzzzz Zzzzzzzz ("Wake up! Wake up! WAKE UPI" -

The readers!)

Oh erm, sorry, before I go I'd better explain that next issue will have a

completely free comic with it, called YOINKS COMIC, and it features strips

about Post Apocalypse, Flame Head, Cedric The Barbarian (before his recent

demise) and a few other Ye favourites. And also that January's YC is the new

look, bigger magazine than ever before! See ya in thirty (years)...
