Introduction

The big story this month was Perfect Dark, having had it’s release date repeatedly slip, the team finally got a chance to play it - with an 8 page feature detailing everything they knew about the game so far. They also got the first english language shots of Pokemon Stadium, as well as F1 Racing Championship, with the official license for the 1999 F1 season. They also got the first previews of Turok 3 and Resident Evil Zero.

Once again, a number of muli-format releases were reviewed this month, with Hydro Thunder the best of the bunch, scoring 84%. The UK Nuclear strike was also reviewed, and they also got their hands on the Japanese version of Mario Party 2, which fared better than the original game with 87%. Planet Game Boy’s top games were Knockout Kings and Deja Vu I&II, as well as retro reviewing classics Balloon Kid and Kirby’s Dream Land - scoring both 5 stars.

Another 3 games were tipped this issue, with the final part of the Donkey Kong 64 guide once again the star of the show as they covered the final golden bananas of the game. They also tipped South Park Rally and WWF Wrestlemania 2000. Skill Club 64 got an overhaul this issue, with new challenges and a rename to Skill Club Millenium. At the back of the mag they looked into how voices got into Turok 3, chatting to some of the main cast. They also questioned some of the actors responsible for voicing the Pokemon Anime, as well as looking at some of the other voices in popular N64 games.
