_{Cover of the September 1995 issue of Computer and Video Games}

Computer and Video Games was published in the U.K. and was perhaps the longest running video game magazine. By 1995 it had already been around well over a decade and was only about two-thirds of the way through its publishing life. The September 1995 issue includes:

Regulars

• Editorial - Saturn vs. PlayStation, the rising price of games, and more.


• Connected - Nintendo releases Yoshi's Island for the Super NES, Sony prepares for PlayStation launch in the U.K., Electronic Arts and Origin developing interactive movie called The Darkening, Mindscape starts work on the first sports sim project for the Ultra 64, Virtuality's Zone Hunter to be ported to Atari's Jaguar, Atari releases JagLink which allows you to link up two Jaguars for head to head gaming, and more!


• In the Bag - Letters from readers about multiplayer games, value of the Sega Saturn, Japanese games, and more.

Reviews

• Ace Combat (PlayStation) - A Persian Gulf themed combat flight sim for the PlayStation.


• Shin Shinobi Den (Saturn) - A Japanese import that would eventually be released as Shinobi Legions in North America and Shinobi X in Europe.


• Ultimate Doom (PC CD-ROM) - The original Doom with some extra levels and better networking support. Would have been a better deal if Doom II were included as well.


• Zhadnost (3DO) - A weird looking game show / puzzle game.


• Action Soccer (PC CD-ROM) - A decent soccer game for the 3DO.


• Terminal Velocity (PC) - An early 3D shoot-em-up. It gets a good review here but I barely remember it.


• Wipeout (PlayStation) - A futuristic racing game for the PlayStation. I wanted to like this more than F-Zero but honestly I thought F-Zero was more fun.


• Primal Rage (Mega Drive/SNES) - A beat-em-up featuring dinosaurs.


• Donkey Kong Land (Game Boy) - A platform game from Rare featuring the well known villain.


• Gloom (Amiga) - A Doom clone for the Amiga. Too little too late really.


• A surprise - A preview of Batman Forever for the Super NES and Mega Drive...not sure why it is a "surprise".
