COVER FEATURE: P.O.D. – Proof of Destruction
Time to take another fine C64 game and pop it through the FREEZE-O-MATIC™. This time around it’s P.O.D., a cool arcade shooter from Mastertronic.

THOUGHTS & MEMORIES: MIKE GARRETT
One of our FREEZE64 Subscribers takes centre stage as he shares his thoughts and reactions after playing P.O.D. for the very first time. This’ll be interesting…

HIDDEN HARMONIES
Warren shares four lesser-known SID tunes: Hoodoo Voodoo, Emlyn Hughes International Soccer, Out of this World, and our cover feature game, P.O.D.

JULIAN RIGNALL’S CCRAPBACK!
Julian takes a trip to March 1987 and revisits the final four worm-infested Commodore 64 titles reviewed in ZZAP!64 issue 23. These include: Agent Orange, Dandy, Street Machine, and The Double. Oh, the stench! Yuck!

SECRET SQUIRREL INVESTIGATES
Our cutesy rodent grabs another batch of secret case files, which includes: Rollin’ and Robocop 2. What on earth has he discovered this time?!

ALL MAPPED OUT: FRONT LINE
Interceptor Software’s 1984 multi-scrolling shooter gets All Mapped Out. Plus we have a few exclusive POKES to share with you.

DEVELOPERS’ DEN: SHAUN SOUTHERN
Our good friend and C64 programmer extraordinaire Shaun Southern pops into FREEZE Towers for a cuppa and a chat about producing our cover feature game, P.O.D. – Proof of Destruction. He always brings nice biscuits.

LET’S HACK… P.O.D. – Proof of Destruction
We pass P.O.D. through our infamous Vinny-O-Matic™ for a bit of extra fun! A cool collection of POKES ‘n’ CODES for you to tinker with.

A MOMENT WITH… JOHN ROWLANDS
Our John is back, and this time around he shares his thoughts on Mastertronic’s impact during the golden age of Commodore 64 gaming. Wise words.

BYTE*SIZED! FRESH, NEW C64 GAMES!
A fresh, new batch of Commodore 64 games for us all to check out. We have a quick play and then it’s over to you!

OUT OF THE ‘MOULDY CUPBOARD’
We’re diving back into good old 1983 to unearth a Mr. Micro title called Pandora’s Box. I have a feeling that this one is staying out of the cupboard!

DIARY OF A GAME: OPERATION VOSTOKA
The game’s development is almost wrapped up, but Chris still has a couple more diary entries to share with us all. Oooo… it’s getting exciting now!

MY C64 HEAVEN: JOHN CHANDLER
This time around we’re driving a couple of miles up the road to John Chandler who lives here in Milton Keynes — home of FREEZE Towers. He has an impressive, little Commodore collection to share with us.
