  • Dear CVG,

I hope that you can, and will, help me. I have been awaiting the release of the N64 for 15 months (since seeing it in your mag in issue 163). But when I read in issue 178 that it is yet again to be delayed for Britain until April 97, I have decided I can wait no longer. So, with your help. I intend to buy an imported US machine when released. So could you please assist me and answer my questions? Will the N64 work on my TV which can accept NTSC video playback signal, and also on a TV with an S-Video 8-pin socket? Is N64's power and graphical capabilities a noticeable and substantial improvement over that of the PlayStation's? What is your opinion on the upcoming M2's capabilities, have you got any of its specs - ie what speed do its twin 602 processor CPUs run at. and what's its polygon count? Also, how do these compare to that of N64's? Kevin Thompson, Cumbria

  • CVG: The answer to all three N64 questions is 'yes'. As for M2, we published the

first ever screenshots of D2. from Warp, last issue. This month we hope to have brought you more inside information (see News, and New Games).

  • Note - There is no other information in the magazine
