for September By: Andy Maddock

Imported goods Mirage Software, which comes all the way from Poland, has recently been working on a few games titles which are looking quite intriguing and have generated great interest around the office. The first is called Super Taekwondo Master, which is a fighting game, as you can probably tell. Although Taekwondo isn't the most popular sport over here, it seems pretty big in Poland because at the end it features plenty of digitised pictures of the development crew doing some special moves and actions. The whole game is actually digitised - in fact it looks a lot like Mortal Kombat, only clearer and possibly a touch smoother. The second game in development is slightly more interesting and is called Rockstar. It looks a bit like an adventure game although it's all in Polish so I'm probably wrong. I think the idea is to form a band, visit the local pub, buy some equipment, practice, do some gigs, hopefully get signed, get in the charts and then earn loads of money. Good plan. Anyway, these are two titles which we will definitely cover within the next month or so. Prepare to learn some Polish.

SWOS guide - part two

If you like our first part of the Sensible World Of Soccer guide featured right here in this very issue, then you will like part two even more.

Next month we will show you how to finally achieve the international coach status and become one of the world's leading managers. Not only will we give you tips for your team selection, we'll also tell you how to win the European Championships and World Cup with ease. If you're having trouble with Sensi and want to get to the international bit quickly, then be sure to read the final part of our Sensi guide. Don't miss out. Oh, and we haven't forgotten about part two of Simon the Sorcerer either. Honest.

You kickin' off, mate?

Anco has returned after its two recent releases, Player Manager 1 + 2, and has surprised me by releasing an entirely new game entitled Kick Off 96.

However, just because the title reverts back to the days of the old and unforgettable Kick Off series, the game will not be as the same. It will be set in a 3D environment and offers arcade and simulation modes, four camera angles, 8000 frames of animation, 49 international and 750 Premier League teams, and 15,000 real-life players. Sounds good doesn't it. We'll have it next month, so stay tuned.

Championship Manager 2 is here!

Ooh dear, I lied - again. Everything seems to be going wrong because I have promised you a full review of Championship Manager 2 for the last four months, and every month Domark tells us "It's almost finished..." Well, apparently, the punters who ordered the game in advance are beginning to ask for their money back, so Domark had better be careful in case everyone gets so cheesed off and nobody buys it.

Anyway, we've told you a million times before and we'll tell you again. We'll have a full review next month. But do me a favour - don't hold your breath. Good win for England though eh?

Next month Next month seems a million miles away, but lined up for the issue are Championship Manager 2 (maybe!), Alien Breed 3D II, the next part of our massive SWOS guide, and lots and lots of fantastic things which will indeed be fantastic. I can't wait, can you? What do you mean yes?

We might have this next month if we can keep in Team 17's good books
