Another awesome Capcom conversion hits the Saturn...
I only this time it's a mammoth three games in one, there
are no Dragon Punches in sight and the firm haven't
] even had anything to do with the conversion! Intriguing.

retro COin-OP port! It s ace!

I've spent years training my dragon. I can force him to


do anything. I've put together a game to showcase my

I hard, maybe you can dragon force too!

Yeah, the Rainbow Islands and Sonic Jam packs are
really, really cool, but when it comes to quality coin-ops
of yore, the fellas we really want to see converted come
from Capcom. Oh look, it's...

Don't be an idiot. Think before you write. I must throw away a good 90%
of the O+As I'm sent every month? Why? Rampant stupidity. Some of it even
infests the letters I've printed this month. Come on, snap out of it. Idiocy is
not big and by definition it's certainly not clever. So think before penning your
queries. Then send 'em to I HAVE THOUGHT CAREFULLY ABOUT THIS Q*A, SEGA
SATURN MAGAZINE. 37-39 Millharbour, London E14 9TZ. Or email the sons of
bitches to ssm.qa@ecm.emap.com. Intelligent people only need apply.

NTERACTIVE Atari virtually invented videogames. Are these relics


classic and crusty, or just tatty old rubbish?
unr Retro-fever continues with this compilation of Atari's
1979-80 classic arcade games.

of Super Breakout was probably joking..

With only a handful of quality Saturn titles set for

D release in '98, Sega's all-star arcade conversions have


to be spot-on. So have Tantalus silenced their critics
with a frightening finger-blistering blaster?

SEGA SATURN" tips
So where are the Quake tips then? We're still trying to find the traditional god mode/level select options, and you've all discovered how
to access the Nightmare difficulty setting on your own, so we won't bother with that. So what have we got for you this month then?
Well, see below. Oh, and don't forget to send your tips and gueries to: Where are the Quake tips you lazy bunch of losers?, Sega Saturn

Panzer Dragoon Saga is an amazing game. So amazing in fact, that we awarded it a gargantuan 96% in the last issue of SEGA SATURN MAGA
IINE. Of course, we've completed it. And completed it well. That puts us (well Rich actually) in the position of providing you with this
exhaustive guide to this most incredible of videogames! Let's rock! We're going to start the guide at the Excavation level. If you can't figure
out how to ride the lift out of the very first area you're beyond hope and clearly a warrior's game like Panzer Dragoon Saga is not for you!
fhe more intelligent amongst you will probably realise that this guide will sort you out if you're having problems with the Cover CD!
