Magic Sword is a pretty good game. Before I sit and write
a review for you, tell me if you've played the arcade game
or not, and if you have played it, if you liked it.

If you've played it, you should be aware that the following
things suffered in the translation.

The music suffered a lot. The scoring was killed but the
tunes remained the same. The second-player simultaneous
option disappeared. The bosses lost most of their detail
and animation.

Other than that, the game was translated quite closely.

So, there is a harder level (150cc) after reaching the special race?
Do you need to get the gold in the special before the harder level
appears?  I had seen another post about 150cc, but I thought it was

I'm considering getting a machine sometime in the near future.  I don't know
a whole lot about the games available for any of them, however....  I've never
played on a TG, but I've heard good things about it (and the price is very 
nice).  I've played Super Mario World on SNES and wasn't particularly impressed
(although it was pretty).  And I've played Taz-mania on Genesis (*very*
disappointing...it had nice graphics, but it was extremely easy (finished in
a total of about 4-5 hours)).  Anyway, I prefer RPG type games, and I also
like Super Mario type games that aren't too directed (Super Mario Brothers 3 for
NES was okay) and the occasional shoot-em-up.  I'll probably get a CD player for
whatever I get pretty soon (so I've pretty much ruled out a SNES unless I get
some overwhelming reason not to), so if there are lots of CD games available,
that's a plus....

Any recommendations would be appreciated....

Thanks,
Justin

ps Does anyone besides Sega make a real joystick for the Genesis?  Preferably
an Epyx 500XJ, but I don't think they make one.  Why is it that no one can
include a joystick in the 1990's that is the equal of the one that I got in 1980
with my Atari 2600?

	Unless you can visualize a board completely (if you can, why do you

Does NHLPA '93 for SNES have the same jerky motion that Madden '93 has. I was i
n a game store and watching the SNES and Genesis versions of Madden '93 running
 side by side. They looked nearly identical, true, but the motion/animation on
the Genesis verision was so much smoother. It got to the point that the SNES ve
rsion was really bothering me.

Also, I seem to remember that the Genesis version of NHLPA '93 has battery back
up and the SNES version doesn't. I don't know how much this matters to most peo
ple, but the SNES version *should* be cheaper as a result. I wonder if it will
be or not.

 I've been doing some repair jobs on different video game systems
recently, and one question that always arises when I think I'm
finished with a machine is: Is the fault completely examined and
removed?

 I would like to know if there are games for the NES/SNES/Sega
systems that use the hardware to a big extent, one aspect is as
the title suggests the cartridge size. 

 I've noticed that many games use 16 megabits on the SNES, SFII
is one of them. What about NES and the Sega Megadrive/Genesis?

 Are there other tests that could be done to verify that different
modes work etc?

 Thanks in advance,

I just bought John Madden '93 for the Genesis and overall
I am impressed.  However, two things bug me, and they are:

1.  On punts, when the field flips 180 degrees, there is a pause
for about half a second in which the ball is frozen in midair.  This
did not happen in Madden '92.  It is possible that my particular
cartridge or Genesis has a glitch somewhere, but I doubt it.  This
lack of continuity on punts is pretty annoying.

2.  I was shocked to read in the manual that John Madden himself
did not give the players their ratings. Apparently it is some Madden
relatives who got this enviable job.  I somehow felt at peace thinking
that John Madden, in his infinite football wisdom, was behind each
players' rating.  Now that I know he isn't, I can legitimately 
criticize whoever rated Rod Woodson as having only an eight in speed.
It just doen't feel like "John Madden" football anymore now that I know
who actually rated the players.  

Madden '93 tip:  Be the Bears from 1985, and when on defense, be Mike
Singletary, the guy is a beast.  When on offense, hand off to Walter
Payton; he runs better than Barry Sanders and Thurman Thomas combined.

you can select  1 or 2vs players. Does anybody know anything about this?

If you walked into your local Toys R Us, it would cost you $299.99 plus

Trench Tips:
You've managed to forget one thing. Your guns can destroy anything.
The point of this level is to both gun down TIE Fighters and to
destroy the orange glowing balls before they hit you. You must
move very rapidly to kill everything, but try as hard as possible
not to let the bullets hit your shields. At the end, you'll fight
Darth Vader's Imperial TIE, but it's not all that hard. The
trench needs you to use the top L/R buttons to bomb it - don't
wait too long to unleash your bombs (you have 3 or something)
or else the level will begin anew from the 1/2 point or worse.
