Features
Under the Influence - 2 pages (10-13)
 * It's more than just a computer games show. OK, it's got loads of games and fun but it also features lots of fascinating facts on the wide and wonderful world of computers. That's why ITV's new computer show can have the confident cheek to call itself Bad Influence! And we're the official Bad Influence! magazine, published in conjunction with the programme to give its millions of viewers more info on what the cameras show and behind-the-scenes lowdown on the shots that never got to the TV screens.

The Making of the Humanosaurs - 2 pages (14-15)
 * Brad and Deena are two of the world's last surviving Humanosaurs. Fortunately, both are heavily influenced by the passive human side of their nature and not the Dinosaur element. And they'll be the first to warn you about the more aggressive Humanosaurs still around. But how did Brad and Deena come to be chosen as counterparts to Andy Crane and Violet Berlin on the Bad Influence! TV show? Over to you, Brad and Deena...

He's Z - 5 pages (22-26)
 * Hunting sharks, meeting King Kong, burning up in fires and explosions, Journeying through the human body and flying across the surface of Venus are all in a days work for 15 year-old Z (pronounced Zee) Wright. The chirpy actor from the Queens suburb of New York is presenting a series of eight special reports from America for Bad Influence! and these are just a few of the exciting experiences he is sharing with TV viewers.

Reviews
Street Fighter II Lemmings 2: The Tribes Spider-Man and the X-Men
 * I'Il be brief, because I want to get back to my game. Without doubt Streetfighter II is the best beat'em-up on the SNES and is possibly the best game on any console. If this is the levelof quality we are to expect from the SNES, then the future looks very, very bright. Street Fighter 2 plasters the Pit Fighter and slams the WWF. This has got to be an essential purchase for any would-be hard man. - Brad Burton
 * I just can't stop playing this game. The fighting action is intense and extremely atmospheric. There are plenty of different moves to get your mitts around so as you become more skilled at playing, your favourite character becomes harder and harder to beat. A sure hit for beat'em-up fans! - Violet Berlin
 * What can you say. Lemmings was a classic. Lemmings 2 is even better. Sure it's basically the same idea enhanced, but It's almost impossible to get bored with 'em. Cutesy animation, funky tunes and off you go. All the new features give you loads more to do than the first one and with that in mind, this is going to storm the charts and deservedly so. - Paul Roundell
 * I like this game. In fact, it is one of the most enjoyable games released in a long time. One of the highlights is the Starsky and Hutch 1970's type music which creates just the right atmosphere. It may not be much to look at but It plays like a dream and provides you with a challenge that will hook you to the end. - Steve McNally
