    Okay here we go.....
    
    1. In the NEW CONTROLLER column.
       Mattel's POWER GLOVE will go for under $90. Games that
       it was demoed with at the C.E.S last were a handball
       and tank commander game. My guess is that it will end
       up going for over $90 and will NOT work with all games.
       Broderbund's U-FORCE controller is the most unique.
       Looks like one half of a BATTLESHIP game and works, I
       Believe on proximity principles (whatever). They say
       for under $75. Again does not work with all games,
       But imagine and I quote "Punching out with Mike Tison".
    2. In the NEW NOT EVER MENTIONED BEFORE game department.
       Games like BACK TO THE FUTURE, BEETLEJUICE, DICTIONARY,
       and the PUNISHER are in the works from LJN. STAR TRAK V
       from GAME PAK, CLASH AT DEMONHEAD from TOKAI, CHESSMASTER
       from HI-TECH, and BATMAN from SUNSOFT. A series of Walt
       Disney stuff like ADVENTURES IN DISNAYLAND, RESCUE RANGERS,
       and DUCK TALES. From arcade alley, games like; BAD DUDES,
       GUERILLA WAR (yhinks this one was mentioned before),
       THNDER CADE, and SUPER DODGEBALL. Junior versions of
       WHEEL OF FORTUNE and JEPORADY. Here is great one for
       the simulator freaks STEALTH EAGLE. Other are DRAGON
       WARRIOR and MONSTER PARTY. And finally from pinball alley
       PINBOT, ROLLERBAL, and SUPER SUSHI PINBALL.
       For further detailsm get in touch with me and I will quote
       what the magazine had to say about each.

    issue 22 i think). a friend who subscripes told me he's recieved it
    already, but I looked around last night and only found it at kay-bee
    toys, and they didn't have the new one yet.
