The Spy Who Loved Me (Domark)

The graphics are clear and well defined, with the usual neat sound effects and Bond theme tune to get you going. However, seasoned gameplayers may find it's all over just a tad too quickly.

Shadow Of The Beast (Gremlin)

Certainly different to most of the games on the market and well worth buying.

Midnight Resistance (Ocean)

If you like your action hard and fast, then run hell for leather through all nine levels of this furious shoot-'em-up and you'll certainly get your money's worth.

Oriental Games (Micro Style)

A pretty neat collection, with the four different sports offering just enough variety to keep your interest.

Golden Axe (Virgin Games)

An excellent arcade-style adventure, guaranteed to addict you after only a couple of screens.

Return To Doom (Topologika)

As a text-only adventure, Return To Doom has to be one of the best, if not the best, offering of the year.

Cricket Captain (Hi-Tec)

The variety of options give you a real feel for the game, while the colourful game sequences let you see just how well your thinking works out.

Operation Hanoi (Players Premier)

If you like your gunplay fast and furious, you won't go wrong with this one.

Football Champions (Cult Games)

If you like footle management, then this one should form a part of your collection. If not, you might find it a little dull.

Havoc (Players Premier)

An excellent aerial combat blast.

Motorcycle 500 (Cult Games)

A must for management freaks.

Turbo Cup Challenge (Players Premier)

An excellently presented game featuring some truly authentic action.
