Mortal Kombat II

In AF67, we challenged you to prove how good you are at Mortal Kombat II by sending us a full list of all the Fatality, Friendship and Babality moves. Hundreds of you leapt at the opportunity to describe the atrocities you could commit, often in quite gory detail. OK, so half of you who sent in tips probably read them elsewhere, copied them and then sent them to us (cynical, us?), but for the rest of you beat-em-up fans, here is the complete list for all the MKII characters.

Liu Kang finds that hanging around can be pretty painful and definitely unconducive to health and well-being. "Get one more of those dance steps wrong and the rabbit gets it," grimaced Kung Lao to a visibly shaken Liu Kang. Allegedly.

Helping Hand

A problem shared is a letter to Steve Bradley who's only too pleased to lend befuddled readers a Helping Hand.


Twelve, angry man
I'm stuck on mission 12 of Cannon Fodder. I can't destroy the factory on the sixth phase - please help.
Dave Rawtenstall, Lancashire

Dave, place a soldier on each of the three pressure pads - this will get the helicopter down from the factory roof. Jump in and fly up to the roof, then get into the turret and blast everything in sight. But to finish the level, shoot all the bunkers and the factory - best to blast the door until it flies off. Thanks to Cam Winstanley from Amiga Power for the info. Well, thanks to his book.

McKracked it!
I bought the LucasArts Classic Collection for Christmas and I'm rather stuck on Zak McKracken And The Alien Mindbenders. I need to light a fire in the cave in Seattle so I can read the strange markings on the wall. Help.
J Ainge, Birmingham

Presumably you've made it to the entrance of the cave. Turn on the lighter and head to the right of the cave - there's a bird's nest and, on the floor, a fire pit. Bird's nest, fire pit, lighter - yes. The markings on the door on the far right are now distinguishable.

Teething troubles
Hello, I've been struggling to get very far with with Turrican 2 for an age and I'm not progressing. Are there any cheats to help me out?
Martin McClellan (a dentist), Bury

Head to the music menu by pressing the Help key, now press 4, then 2. Hang on for about 15-20 seconds, then press Escape twice. You now have infinite lives and special weapons. You are now the biggest cheat in the dentist world who has an Amiga and Turrican 2.

Slide away
I'm as stuck as can be on Silkworm. Have you got any cheats to help me out?
Wayne Petzler, Ettalong, Australia

Have we got cheats? Hold down the Help key, press the Fire button to kick off the game - you are now endless of life and you can shoot to any of the 10 levels simply by pressing 1-10 and the minus key.

Bail me out
Is there any cheat for Police Quest II? I can always get to Cotton Cove but Jessie Bains blows me away. How can I stop him from killing me?
Jonathan Astbury, Lever, Bolton

When Bains arrives, you should be hiding behind the pipe. Type fire gun and keep ducking behind the pipe - you need to bag him twice to finish him.

We've been Rubened!
Why, in Sensible World Of Soccer do your players go down in value when they are banging the goals in left, right and centre? I bought Ruben Sosa for a hefty £4.5m but despite scoring 60 goals in a season, his value dropped to £2m.
Chris `Carlton' Palmer, Leicester

Player values depend to a certain extent on the quality throughout the team. A great player playing in a poor side may perform to the best of his ability yet drop in price. Are you playing Ruben in his right position? A few SWOS-playing folk have had problems with player depreciation and we're endeavouring to discover what the Graham Taylor's going on.
