SPECIAL THANKS THIS ISSUE TO:
Everyone who helped us out with information for this year's All-time Top 100 Games. There are too many of you to mention but - hey, guys! - we couldn't have done it without you. Cheers!

OOPS!:
And all this time we've been putting 'copyright 1991' at the bottom of this panel...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO:
Mark! He's 22 this month, and he'd like to thank all his friends out there for the presents that've been flooding into this office. So, um, thanks Mrs Ramshaw.

AS OF NEXT MONTH:
We'll start to feature one reader a month alongside our regular reviewers in Just Who Do We Think We Are? It could be you! Just send us a photo, complete with a bit of information about yourself, your favourite games and so on and you'll be in with a chance.

SORRY:
No Diary Of A Game this month - we're out of room. Don't worry though, Mega lo Mania II fans - Ubik will be back to tell all next month.

GET WELL SOON:
Grag! (You know you're the only one who reads this bit.)

TRUE STORIES
Wow! So there is a new Amiga after all - read about it here! Plus! Zool - the platform game to put Harlequin in the shade? Win Pacific Island goodies! 'Alien' creator HR Giger does a game! Two new software houses formed! Lemmings get a direct rival! And more!

GAMES CHART
The best sellers, the haven't sold-a-thingers, and the ones that are doing 'okayish'. It's all to be found in this month's Gallup chart...

JUST WHO DO WE THINK WE ARE?

COMPLETE CONTROL
Tips, tips, and then a few more tips! Giant features on Formula One Grand Prix and Storm Master are joined by hints and cheatettes to Jimmy White, Hudson Hawk, The Blues Bothers, Populous II, Robocod, Thunder Burner, First Samurai, Rolling Ronny and more. Plus! There's always The Last Resort (with Jonathan Davies) - if you're even a teeny bit stuck on a game, this is the place to come...

THE HIDDEN AGENDA
There may be more to your games than you know...! Join GARY PENN as he uncovers:

• The trick shot mode locked away in Jimmy White's Whirlwind Snooker!
• The ridiculous things you can make your warriors do in IK+!
• The crazy choice of alternative 'cars' available in Power Drift!
• And much more! Amiga games are full of secret rooms, worlds, subgames and jokes - we show you just how and where to find them...

WIN A JVC MIDI SYSTEM!
...in our easy-to-enter, utterly un-painful Agony competition, organised in conjunction with our pals at Psygnosis. and all you need to know is just a little tiny bit about owls...

DEFINITION OF SOUND:
THE HORIZONTAL SHOOT-'EM-UPS
Our unique series of complete buyer's guides reaches the giant-sized genre known as the shoot-'em-up. From R-Type to Apidya, all horizontally scrolling life is here...

DO THE WRITE THING
You want angry people? Then you'll find them here! Seems everything from Gamesmaster to the (severe) lack of Amiga programs to measure the weight of fish(!) has got you lot riled...

THE BOTTOM LINE
Eight pages of the best, the most unputdownable mini game reviews ever seen. Don't buy a game before checking it here first...

READER SURVEY 1992
We want to know all about you (so we can tailor the mag to suit your tastes). Please help us out by filling in this form - you could win a great prize!

SUBS!
T-Shirts, binders and all things nice on sale at the ye olde AP shoppe. And! We make you a subscription offer you can't refuse!

AMIGA UNIVERSE
The world's only handbook to every major character to appear in Amiga games continues. This time: not so much a character, more an institution, it's the many incarnations of... Arnold Schwarzenegger!

GAMES OF THE MONTH

PROJECT X
The best blaster yet? Yes, that's what we thought, too...

CASTLES
After Sim City, Sim Earth, Sim Ant comes... Sim Castle?

ULTIMA VI
The new champion! Quite simply, this is the best RPG yet...

APIDYA
Wasps? Slugs? Moles? It shouldn't happen to a shoot-'em-up...

GLOBAL EFFECT
Millennium meets Maxis. Or something...

SPACE QUEST IV
Time travel and, erm, questing ahoy!

RACE DRIVIN'
Domark bounce back with the 'real' sequel to Hard Drivin'

AGONY
Psygnosis's owl stars in the month's third great blaster(!)
