you'll know it was a stunningly
successful show. bursting at the
you make it to the World of
seams with games, goodies and things to see.
Well w e r e doing another one. only this time it'll
be three times as big and - if it's possible -
three times better' The Future Entertainment
Show (FES) will be taking over the whole of
London's massive Earl s Court exhibition ceri-
Ire from 5-8 November.
This time it won't just be Ccirnmodore stuff
on show but games and machines represent-
ing every facet of computer entertainment -
Britain's trendiest hobby' Full details have yet
to be announced b u t we'll let you know all the
latest info as it comes in.
The most exciting aspect of FES should be
the finals of the National Computer Games
Championship - which you will be able to enter!
All the big formats (C64, Amiga, Nintendo.
Sega. ST and PC) will hold local heats and the
winners will go through to a final that will be
broadcast on a Yorkshire TV games show. And
it'll be well worth having a go. because the top
prize is £10,000!
Even though we'll be working on the
show, that won't divert us from our primary
purpose - bringing you the very best C64
magazine every month. This issue we've
rounded up some major games for review
and four superb demos for you to play. so
that when you buy a game you
already know that it's the kind
of game you want to play.
Cheers,
