Multimixx 3

A three-pack (for a change!) as Kixx becomes the latest company to open its back catalogue and blow away the dust. Is this resurrection, or exhumation? [Eh? - Ed]

Street Fighter

Travel the world, meet top martial artists and then knock them down by waggling your limbs in an unfriendly manner. Repeat until you pass out. Brownie points for large sprites and optional multi-load, but, as a game, it's stunningly average.

Bionic Commando

Neat four-way-scrolling platform game which has you battling fiercely through five multi-loaded levels on a world-saving mission. (A typical day's work for the Spec-chum.) Using your telescopic, bionic arm you can biff baddies from afar or swing around like an aluminium Tarzan.

Very clear graphics and surprisingly colourful, fast scrolling enhance the playability. There's many an afternoon to be wasted here.

1943

WW2 planes replace aliens in this very ordinary shoot-'em-up. With power-ups, a dual-player mode and big mid-level baddies, the only new idea is "rolling" to avoid bullets. Otherwise you could be playing any of sixty other games and probably not notice much difference.

It costs a fiver, and two-thirds is crap - so work it out for yourself. You'd be better off checking out the Quattro range (then buying next month's Your Sinclair with the change)!
