Alright love, let's get this page described for you. The page is all about Robocop II, which is coming to the Spectrum. At the top left, there's a chunky, pixelated Robocop sprite, shooting away! Next to it is a grey-ish blue screenshot of what looks like the inside of a building; the lounges and corridors, as they say, straight from Level Three. Below this is a write up about the guys who programmed and did graphics for the Ocean's latest software. They said it was hard work getting it working, but it is going to be mega. "Late November" it will be released. And, thankfully, they've left that awful naughty ten-year-old hob out of the game. Good!

    Gameboy games? This is a Spectrum mag!

    I believe they literally took photos of the screen.

    oops, i just looked at the screen and didn't realize this. I subscribed to the community because a page referenced a newsgroup discussion that i was interested in, it made me then look it up on archive.org.

    The Spectrum was a bit before my time :-) But i love reading old magazines, so it fits anyways :-)
