UCP: The GamesMaster Retrospective

Catherine Allen tries to become another famous thing about Guernsey as she takes on Super Mario World, Callum Green faces Britain's hardest bloke Vinny Jones on Soccer Brawl, and The Curley Challenge is open as John Morrison races against Sega European Champion Danny Curley on Sonic the Hedgehog.

Drakkhen, Darklands and Legends of Valour get reviewed, GamesMaster aides players on Super Mario World, The Adventures of Rad Gravity, and - ahem - Rex Nublar and the Cosmic Gender Benders. And it's cheeky phallic references a plenty in the Hardware Feature - including Tony from Hollyoaks! It's a show where men are men, and the halibut are nervous.
