MOTD Saturn Fan Vol. 11 (June 12, 1998)

SOLDOUT

   A lengthy and thorough preview of D2 from Warp Entertainment is the feature article in Saturn Fan Vol. 11. Readers are treated to an interview with writer and director Kenji Eno as well as scenes from the opening movie where Laura is on the plane before all hell breaks loose. A section called "Game System & Camera Work" checks out Laura in action as she explores snow covered terrain with a rifle in hand. Looking back, we thoroughly enjoyed D2 for its shooter action sequences, snow mobile scenes and general exploratory adventuring. If we recall correctly, there were 2-3 cover variants for the game and each copy included a little transparent calendar inside as a bonus.

   D2 brings back good gaming memories but the article that makes this issue a must-keep for us is the Radiant Silvergun coverage on pages 26-31. Silvergun was released on July 23 and the article only hints at the greatness of the game from Treasure. Many crisp screenshots, animation frames from the intro, and game stages are shown throughout the article. The many weapon systems in RS are also displayed in action for shmup fans to salivate over. Good stuff.

   The highlights in rest of the magazine are:

p42-45. Astra Superstars - checks out the characters in Sunsoft's 2-D fighting game and examines some of their attacks and moves.

p48-49. Super Adventure Rockman preview of the cinemas in the game and some gameplay coverage

p50-51. Legend of Heroes I+II retro-release preview

p73-79. Detailed Grandia "Complete Attack and Analyze" article

p80-94. An even more detailed Super Robot Wars F "Complete Attack...."

p128. High School Terra Story preview.

Price: $8.50 shipped.
