Regulars

  • Super Express – Satisfy your primal hunger for raw SNES info by dipping into the stacked buffet of Super Express. Fill your plate with tasty morsels and crunch the nutty bits.
  • Gamefreak – Unscarred by the scumhordes of Morgoth, unbloodies by the Tree-men of Pineworld, Gamefreak answers your queries.
  • Mode 7 – Despite having two ‘l’s in his first name, Allan uncovers gaming secrets so deep even his enemies are concerned for him.
  • Superstore – Consume quality merchandise. Spend, spend, spend. You’ll not regret a penny of it. After all, what else is money for?
  • Play Back – Tell us what you think by writing it down and sending it to us. If you make us laugh to excess, you’ll win a Shetland pony.
  • Hotline – The men from Nintendo attack common gaming problems like Domestos attacks germs. And doesn’t Shaun look like Ken out of Street Fighter II?
  • What Cart? – Surprisingly, people don’t expect this to be filled with Vauxhalls and Mondeos. It sounds a little bit like What Car?, you see.
  • Back Issues – Perfect for pretending you’re living in the past! Wear gaiters and have your hair cut like Zy’s for the full effect!
  • Supermarket – Not a real supermarket. You can’t buy eggs and Boursin there. But you can find bargains here not even your grandfather would believe possible.
  • Next Month – This page is impregnated with a gentle antiseptic baby-wipe. If you’re troubled by nappy-rash, simply rub Next Month over the affected parts.

Features

    • Soldiers of Fortune – We have seen the future and it is Steampunk. That’s a lie, actually. We haven’t seen the future. Otherwise we’d have made millions on the gee-gees and we’d be living in Antigua.
    • Super Puyo Puyo – Addictive? That’s a word that we in the Super Play tower use sparingly. But does it apply to this game?
    • Tetris Battle Gaiden – Tetris is great, right? So imagine it with magic and stuff too. Wouldn’t that impress you? Well it impressed us. More than we’d care to admit in a public forum such as this, in fact.
