*Space Hulk

A very in-depth game with a vast array of missions that will keep any 3DO owner transfixed to the screen and ready at the fire button.

==Adverts==

===Retail===

*Special Reserve - Massive retail list with basically all platforms, 3DO section has about 20 games including 3 adult games, and a Goldstar + FIFA and control pad for £279.99 (Page 47)

*Raven Games London - Retail list with small 3DO section asking to call for prices for US/Jap/UK machines, games and accessories (Page 60)
*Games FX - Small retail advert with various systems for sale, 3DO for sale is used for £299.99 and they also stock "Brand new and used" 3DO games (Page 86)
*Torc - Small retail advert with just names of consoles (presumably for sale) (Page 86)

*Trico Consoles - Small retail advert that more focuses on a list of Saturn games, but mentions they sell 3DO along with other consoles (Page 86)
*Wild Consoles - Small retail advert that has about half of it with 3DO games, and the other half split between Playstation and Saturn, about 30+ games for sale, US Imports (Page 86)
*Gameplay - Full page ad with lots of listings, 3DO section has about 30 games (Including 11th Hour, and a mistyped "Foes of Alice") as well as all 3 UK released consoles, Goldstar £289.99 while both Panasonics are £324.99 (Page 99)

== Cheats ==

*Ballz (Page 93)

Ooh, someone pass us a needle, our sides are
splitting! NOOOOT! Well, the gag title of this fump-
'em-up may be a bit ancient and Carry On like but
the gameplay certainly packs a big punch. Make it
even harder (titter) by entering (ha-ha) BALLBLUR-
BALL during a fight. This will make the balls turn
translucent. And if you try entering LARDBALL you
should find that your balls will increase in size (ooh,
matron please!).

*Need for Speed (Page 94)

Come to think about it here's another good reason for buying a 3DO and it's the man with a great taste in software again, Mr Dan
Thompson, who provides this smart cheat. As the loading screen appears, press and then hold LEFT and RIGHT SHOULDER PADS and L.
Now, once you've started a game, PAUSE and then
QUIT. START a new game and at the loading screen
press and hold LEFT and RIGHT SHOULDER PADS
and UP. START another new game and PAUSE and
QUIT as before. Start a third game and at the load-
ing screen press and hold LEFT and RIGHT SHOUL-
DER PADS and DOWN. Don't quit, but release the
buttons and start racing. Now, whenever there's
slow moving traffic in front of you a quick tap on the
X button will send it flying in an A-Team stylee!

*Return Fire (Page 95)

If ever there was a reason to buy a machine simply for one game then it has to be Return Fire. Mindless destruction at its finest all accompanied by that amazing Dolby Surround
soundtrack. Dan Thompson from Kent says he wants to marry the game and has clearly managed to squeeze out information for an invincibility cheat whilst courting it:

START a game and go to the craft selection screen.
Highlight any craft and press C and HOLD DOWN
BOTH L and R buttons. Whilst holding them press
and HOLD B and C. Still holding all four buttons
press STOP. This will take you to the exit game
option. From here (still holding down the four but-
tons by the way), push down and if all's well you
should hear a sound. Repeat the process for each
craft you wish to make invincible.

And there's more. For a level select, start a new
game and go to the map selection screen. Keep
pressing UP until you reach the password entry
screen and then enter WOLF as the password.
