¢THE BLACK AND RED¢¢with Stuart Murray¢¢¢ATARI ENTERTAINMENT¢¢ This is a publication which describes itself as "the dedicated magazine for the Atari Jaguar and Lynx".¢¢ Printed as an A4 newsletter-type magazine, Atari Entertainment may not be up to the quality of the glossy game magazines but it does offer exclusive coverage of the Jag and Lynx.¢¢ The latest issue (7) has 24 pages, 16 of which are in colour. There is a good front cover featuring the NBA Jam T.E. box and a couple of screen shots. Inside you will find a few items of news, some game tips and reviews of Fight For Life (86%), Baldies CD (75%), NBA Jam T.E. (86%) and Zoop (65%). There are also a few ads and a letter section.¢¢ The reviews are not very detailed but do give you a brief insight into the games. Colour screen shots are included.¢¢ The layout of the magazine is a little unorganised with some spaces here and there.¢¢ Basically, Atari Entertainment is IT for your Jag when it comes to magazines. There is not that much to read in issue 7 but what there is is certainly interesting enough. Also, there is hardly any coverage of the Lynx (check out issue 6 for reviews of Missile Command, T-Tris and Battlezone 2000 plus maps for Xybots).¢¢ Atari Entertainment is priced at 1.50 pounds (plus 50p P&P). A 5-issue subscription costs 10 pounds. At only 2 pounds an issue it's certainly worth checking out. The editor has committed himself to five more issues with issue 12 being the last.¢¢Contact: Atari Entertainment,¢ PO Box 7,¢ Risely,¢ READING¢ RG7 1YW.¢
