MiG 29 Soviet Fighter

The Russian military chiefs amongst you needn't worry about Codemasters giving away military secrets in this game because it's just a very basic Afterburner clone.

You might get four types of weapon but for some reason shooting anything is nigh on impossible so completing each stage is a matter of dodging missiles for about thirty seconds until you land.

The graphics are jerky and unconvincing, and the gameplay is about as interesting as chatting to Wayne the office rubber plant. Not really worth considering, even at this price.

Spectrum

Pretty naff 3D shoot-'em-up with shoddy graphics and gunfire noises which sounds like distant woodpeckers.

Amstrad

Gameplay isn't noticeably better than the Spectrum version, but at least the graphics are sound are better.
