  • Soul Blazer - A start-to-finish guide to Actraiser's fabulous sequel.
  • Super Star Wars - How to win without relying on The Force!
Special Features
  • Star Fox: The First Super F/X Game - The word 'revolutionary' shouldn't be used lightly, but it's hard to see how else Starfox could be described. There's no two ways about it - the arrival of the Super F/X chip is the most important event since the launch of the SNES itself, and one look at Starfox's amazing 3D graphics will show you exactly why...

  • Manga Scope - Where do they get their ideas from? Walk into any Japanese newsagent and you'll soon see! There are Street Fighter II comics, Ranma 1/2 comics, Dragonball comics, Gundam comics... We reveal the games that are based on comics - and the comics that are based on games.
Import Reviews
  • Aliens Vs Predator - Great screen monsters clash on the Super NES!
  • Flying Hero - A cute, bright and surprisingly lovable new Japanese blaster.
  • Ranma 1/2 Part Two - Cute beat-'em-up action - but does it top the original?
  • Harley's Humongous Adventure - Incredible shrinking man...
  • Super Batter Up - Like baseball? Then this ain't one to queue for.
  • Imperium - It's go giant robots, yes, but it ain't no Cybernator.
  • Wordtris - Cross Tetris with Scrabble and you'd get this idea.
  • Chester Cheetah - The US equivalent of Colin Curly arrives on SNES.
