Regulars

• Super Express – It’s Christmas! And boy does our news reflect this. Well actually it doesn’t. But it’s still the best news section in any SNES mag ever.
• Gamefreak – The Yule period doesn’t quite extend to your questions. But that’s because you probably wrote them way back in October or something. Still, at least it’s snowing outside.
• Mode 7 – Christmas is coming – the goose is getting fat. But seeing as it can’t read, it’s unlikely to glean loads of top tips and gaming hints from Mode 7, that’s for damn sure.
• Supermarket – Will Santa empty his sack in your bedroom this Christmas? If he does, and you’re not happy about it, see Supermarket for the goodies you really want.
• Play Back – A letters page which, surprisingly, doesn’t mention Christmas a great deal – if at all, in fact. Even though it is Christmas, our favorite time of year.
• What Cart? – Snuggle up in front of the fire. Gaze at the festooned tree and wait for those sleigh bells. And as you fall asleep, think of all the carts you could look up in our massive guide.
• Back Issues – During the festive time, what could be better than eating and drinking a lot. Reading back issue could, in fact. And ordering some of them as well.
• Irresponsible Pictures – We were about to call this section Irresponsible Christmas. but we realized it doesn’t make much reference to the Holy date of Christ’s birth and that, so we didn’t, in the end.

UK & Import Game Reviews

• Blackhawk
• Bonkers
• Demon’s Blazon – At last! A game which Brian Blessed would to be proud to plug into his SNES!

• Dragon Ball Z 3
• Hebereke’s Popoon
• Jurassic Park II
• Kid Klown
• The Great Circus Mystery
• Newman-Haas Racing
• Nosferatu – A classic game of the undead. See whether it’ll send a chill up your Yuletide spine…
• Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure
• Super Punch Out!! – A boxing game? That’s not very Christmassy! Anyway – you might be surprised by the quality of this boxing game. Have a look right now.
• Ultimate Parodius – A great shoot-’em’up for Christmas. What could be better? In fact, what could be better than Ultimate Parodius? Find out by checking our review.
• WWF Raw

Super Player’s Guide

• Rock ‘N’ Roll Racing – During the festive period, who can resist a game of this? Not Edward Woodward, that’s for sure. Laugh as he takes you through this classic game. Or our Zy Nicholson does, at least.
