*Easily Horrified! (Page 18)

*Dear CVG,

Recently I bought an issue of NMS, and to my
horror they stated that Nintendo 64 would be
released on September the 30th in the UK - at
the eadiest. I am really annoyed about this as I
had just saved up enough money to buy one.
What's the matter with Nintendo? I bet they knew
that Europe would never get it by April. I'm sure
there are many other eager gamers just as disap-
pointed as myself who may seriously consider
buying a PlayStation instead.
Here's a few questions that I'm sure
you will answer for me.
1. Is It true
that the
Saturn will
be getting
an M2 ike
update..

2. Will
the

PlayStation
get a 64-bit
update too?

3. I've seen Killer instinct 2.
and it looks really smart. Will
the Ultra 64 version be in full
3D?

4. I've got i-lexen and I think it's
brill. Will the Ultra get a version of it?
Thanks for printing this letter. Keep up
the coof work.

Mr XXX (he didn't put his name),
Suffolk (?)

*Easily Amazed! (Page 19)

*Dear CVG.

Last month I read your Doom review for the 3D0,
and was amazed you gave it just 60%. I under-
stand and agree to a point with your complaints.
But even so, 60% is very harsh and I'm giad I
bought your magazine after I bought the game. In
my opinion you have made the mistake of com-
paring 3D0 Doom to PlayStation Doom, and
although not as good it's still a good game. If the
3D0 version was the only version you had played
(as in my case, and probably most 3D0 owners)
then you would not be abie to compare and would
give it a higher grade. Maybe S5%?
Why are 3D0 versions not as good as PC or PS
versions, as in Doom and Alone in the Dark 2? Is
it the machine or the programmers? Finally, couid
you piease name five good 3D0 titles? i aiready
own Need For Speed, Slam 'n' Jam. Doom, and
World Cup Go/f (which is crap),
Neil Jackson, Pontefract

ED; Okay, so I've played iots of versions of Doom,
and 1 did compare the 3D0 version to the others
slightly, but the fact stiil remains that it's
atrocious - the game runs so slowly that It's pret-
ty much impossible to pfay, and the dreadful

graphics make it impossible to
see what's happening. If you're
happy with it, fine, but there's
no doubt that it's a really slack
version of what could easily have
been the 3D0"s best game. If
you want proof of this, try Space
Hulk or Kiliing Time - both of which
are far better than Doom. It's not your machine
that's crap - it's the programmers.
