The crap (in a funky, skillo sort of way) Spectrum magazine. The least cynical games mag in the history of the universe, so I hope you'll forgive me for adopting a slightly less brutal style than usual in these pieces. Though if you don't, you can piss off. (That's our Stuart - Ed) |
THE YS ALL-TIME TOP 100 - July-November 1991
Official.
SEQUELS FEATURE - January 1992
A feature on sequels that I don't even remember writing, far less whether it appeared in the magazine or not. I imagine so, but don't quote me.
ITALIA '90 REVIEW - March 1992
A football game.
GOLDEN AXE REVIEW - March 1992
A beat 'em-up.
IVAN 'IRONMAN' STEWART'S SUPER OFF ROAD REVIEW - March 1992
If I had 10p for every time I've reviewed this in my career, I'd have been reviewing it for New Computer Express, probably.
VENDETTA REVIEW - April 1992
A fighting game of some sort. I remember nothing of it.
ST DRAGON REVIEW - April 1992
A classy shoot-'em-up ruined.
