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.

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.
