Everyone's gone dinosaur bonkers after that great series on the Beeb, so we've unearthed a couple of topical demos for you. First up is Carnivores II, the follow-up to last year's dino-hunting farce. Next we've got Hasbro's remake of the prehistoric Pong - it's only a little file, so why not check it out? If dinosaurs bore the crap out of you, there's always Radio Control Racers. Latest additions to the Hints and Tips database include C&C: Tiberian Sun on PC, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver on PlayStation, AeroFighters Assault on N64 and Flag to Flag on Dreamcast. We've also got patches and updates for all the latest games.

Hello to all you Dreamcast readers! That's what we would be saying if you could actually get online. The main topic of discussion on the Forum this week has been the European Dreamcast launch - most punters seemed happy; "converted" even, in some cases. It appears that many players eager to get online are having a lot of problems though. S8N summed up the frustration nicely: "6 billion players was reduced to two tired idiots staring bleary-eyed into the TV." The games that have impressed the most appear to be Sonic Adventure and the delectable Power Stone. As expected, it was a chance for some of the more hardcore gamers to gloat. "You think Power Stone's good, wait until you see Soul Calibur," Felix joyfully proclaimed. "With the imminent arrival of the import mod, I will be playing everything," added Anaardvark somewhat cheekily. MrSony... er, we mean MrKevin, however, is still unfazed by all this razzmatazz and eagerly awaits Final Fantasy VIII, as do we all.

Other Forum chatter involved Future Gamer's review of F1 '99 coming under fire, even prompting a response from Ralph at Studio 33. The resulting heated brawl left mikfoz requiring a new set of teeth, Dodocream paying a visit to casualty and RichyS's dreams of playing for England in tatters. Since when has 80 per cent been a harsh mark? God knows what will happen when someone brings up the subject of the England Vs Scotland game... Kev asked the regulars for their thoughts on the most addictive game ever, and Tetris was the overwhelming winner.
