This Codemasters compilation has been out for ages, but somehow managed to slip past our detectors on its release. It's still in the shops, and what better place to give it a going over than in a sports compilation round-up? Dunno. So what are waiting for then...?

OK, first up it's Grand Prix Simulator by the Oliver Twins, which is basically Super Sprint done in the style of Super Sprint. Pro Ski Simulator is Pro Skateboard Simulator on snow and BMX Simulator is Super Sprint on bikes. All three are rotate-and-thrust controlled games that owe more than a passing debt to Asteroids.

Quattro packs represent excellent value, though this mid-eighties back catalogue material does look quite 'cheap and nasty' in relation to more recent games. Occasionally these packs throw up a real gem though, and here it comes in the form of Pro Snooker Simulator, a simple yet very playable and highly enjoyable (can you guess from the title?) snooker simulator.

Pro Snooker is, we'll have you know, probably worth the asking price on its own. "Buy one, get three free", that's the sales pitch the Codemasters crowd should be using. And they should get that woman from Lovejoy to be in the adverts...
