Your Sinclair 6-Pack March 1991
Six items was the most ever given away with a single issue of Your Sinclair
magazine up to this time. These included playable demo versions of Back to the
Future 3 and Switchblade, and some POKE cheats for top games such as Shadow of
the Beast.
There are also 3 complete games. Two were once commercial releases – Dun
Darach is the sequel to Tir Na Nog and sees Cuchulainn heading to the Secret
City to find Loeg, while Biggles is a 2-part game based around the famous
cartoon strip hero.
Exclusive to this cassette is Earth Shaker, a Boulder Dash-influenced action
game in which the hero must run around mazes collecting diamonds and reaching
an exit within the time limit, avoiding being squashed by diamonds which fall
when he removes the ground from under him, or trapping himself behind rocks.
Other gameplay elements include fire, teleports, fire squares and bubbles to
extinguish them, and tags to make the gravity ‘fall’ upwards – sometimes
required to release trapped diamonds.
