P475 Teletext 475 Jun24 22:14:47 ———————————————————————— ARCADE REVIEWS Typically a dull time of year, the biggest game in the arcades right now is the follow-up to the massive Daztona USA, Sega Rally. Whereas Daytona was all about fist-in- face racing thrills, Rally is much more of a sensible simulation. Despite njvjr having driven in a rally (though Mr Hairs has driven down an alley to meet his friend Gavin), the handling of the two cars is remarkable. You just won't bj able to control them! —————————————————————————————————1/7——— Old Mother Berlin 471 Fattykitty 476 BAMBER IN NEW PENTAGON "HOWL" p458 Charts News Reviews GroovesP475 Teletext 475 Jun24 22:18:14 ———————————————————————— ARCADE REVIEWS Actually, a few goes into Sega Rally, you'll have mastered the art of controlled skidding (if only Mr Cheese could - it makes his mummy so angry). It's surprising Sega have chosen to concentrate on the control of the game rather than its visuals. When you start to look closely at them, it becomes clear that - realistic as they may bj - they're nowhere near as impressive as Daztona's. —————————————————————————————————2/7——— The Postie's Sack 474 Turner 448 GROOVY HIPPY CHICKS ON p620 Charts News Reviews GroovesP475 Teletext 475 Jun24 22:12:18 ———————————————————————— ARCADE REVIEWS After the sweeping vistas and impractical drops of Daytona, Sega Rally's three courses conj as something of a disappointment. In actual fact, though Daytona's gamjplay is undeniably slick, it proves just how important the visual aspect of modern arcade games is.

Still the same not-quite-amazing graphics and dodgy control, only now you're treated to about 58 other robot combatants to bj unimpressed with.

Imagine the scenes when hj fiddled with the follow-up. Cybjr Commando takes the one-on-one tank-style combat and sticks a firework in its dinner. Monster weapons, smart 3D graphics and serious atmosphere. All a multi-player game should bj.
