Issue 61 is a “big releases and exclusives” month, led by major coverage of Bullfrog’s long-awaited Theme Park and a world-first review of Millennium’s heavily hyped Pinkie, then backed up with a packed reviews slate (including Battletoads, Test Match Cricket, and several football-heavy titles). Away from the score pages, it digs into dev/studio territory with an exclusive programmer chat about Pinball Illusions and a two-part look at Vulcan (the team behind Valhalla), plus follow-on coverage of All Terrain Racing. The guides section tackles multiple tough games (notably UFO, Heimdall 2, K240, and Out to Lunch), and the rest of the issue rounds out with the usual community staples—news, letters, PD picks, charts, swap shop, and big competitions.
