It's a smash! New Generation Software has come up with a winner with Jonah Barrington's Squash.

Fast and furious action, superb graphics, topped off by one of the best systems of voice reproduction C&VG has ever heard.

The game can be played by one or two players. They can be moved left, right, backwards and forwards. Depressing the fire button enables the player to make forehand or backhand strokes.

By timing the stroke, you can alter the angle at which the ball leaves the racquet.

And throughout the match, Jonah Barrington calls the scores.

New Generation has achieved this amazing voice reproduction using a system called Reprosound, a hardware sampling system which enables the voice to be reproduced using software only.
