Blade Warrior (Codemasters)

It plays like a budget game - badly - and, for the money it is not a worthwhile investment.

Total Eclipse II (Incentive)

A great game for those with plenty of time on their hands. It is certainly one for adventure fanatics but also if you like a mental challenge you should look seriously at this game.

1942 (Elite)

What's wrong with 1942? Well, the sprites are too small, the playing area is too small, the colours are poorly thought-out, the sound effects are probably the worst I have heard in any CPC game and, worst of all, it is boring to play.

Tank Attack (CDS)

Tank Attack certainly works much better than the previous CDS offering and is an interesting marriage of two dissimilar formats.

Time Scanner (Activision)

The feel of the table is there and as the sonics assault your ears and your eyeballs rattle in your head. And, most surprising is that the Amstrad version plays better than the Amiga one.

Paranoia Complex (Erbe Software S.A.)

The graphics are nothing special, neither are the sonics, but the gameplay is well-balanced and when you get into it, Paranoia Complex has much more depth than the most action-orientated games.

Skate Or Die (Electronic Arts)

Each event is well put together and the desire to thrash Lester will have you returning for more, time and time again.

Navy Moves (Dinamic)

A good sequel to Army Moves. The graphics are of a very high quality, especially during the submarine sequences, and there were enough levels to satisfy even me.

Bomb Jack II (Elite)

Bomb Jack II may have been a good idea in its day but that day has long since gone and this is one history lesson not worth paying to sit through.

Batty (Elite)

Very colourful and a very reasonable Breakout game. However, does nobody have any new and original ideas?
