Bruce Lee (U. S. Gold) (Atari 400)

The graphics are brilliant and the playability is better.

Battle Planets (Interactive Software People) (BBC Model B)

For a game written in Basic, it is pretty sharp programming which I've come to expect from ISP.

Eric And The Floaters (Sinclair Research) (Spectrum 48K)

A fairly average game... Maybe good for a few plays on a rainy day.

Carpet Capers (Terminal) (Spectrum 48K)

Not really up to much. If I had bought this game, I would not play it very often. If at all.

BMX Bike Rider (Mastertronic) (Commodore 64)

All this is is a very third rate race game showing an aerial view of a bike with a front wheel that wiggles. The only thing BMX-ish about it is the title.

Alice Goes To Video Land (Audiogenic) (Commodore 64)

A pretty game! The scenario is so convincingly drawn, it seemed a shame that the game wasn't more challenging.

Gyruss (Parker Brothers) (Commodore 64)

A darned good shoot-'em-up - probably the best game of its type available for the C64. But let's face it, it costs £35, so for that price, it has to be.

Pengo (Atari) (Atari 400/800/XL)

If you liked the arcade game, you will like this home conversion.

Defender (Atarisoft) (Commodore Vic 20)

The graphics have that same colourful glow that characterised the arcade game - a considerable programming achievement on the Vic.

River Rescue (Creative Sparks) (Atari 400)

The graphics are similar to River Raid, but the sound is not up to standard and it's just not very playable. It didn't hold my interest for very long.

Wonderworm (Thor) (BBC Model B)

There's nothing really oustanding outside this game, but it's quite fun to play.

Tornado Low Level (Vortex) (Spectrum 48K)

This is the best flight game for the Spectrum. I rate it even higher than Fighter Pilot and Night Gunner.

World Cup (Artic Computing) (Spectrum 48K)

If you like football, then you'll probably enjoy this game. It's a good way to spend a rainy afternoon, especially if you've got a friend to play against.

The Dallas Quest (U. S. Gold) (Atari 400/800)

A tough adventure that will take the average player considerable time to solve.

Mr. Wong's Loopy Laundry (Artic Computing) (Spectrum 48K)

A good game. There's not much variety though, as the screens are all very similar.

Worse Things Happen At Sea (Silver Soft) (Spectrum 48K)

A splendid game. The mechanics of the game have been extremely well thought out to provide a progressively more difficult challenge that will be fun to play time and time again.

Cavelon (Ocean) (Commodore 64)

This is a fun little game with nice graphics which is well thought out and presented - a useful addition to your collection.

Sabre Wulf (Ultimate) (Spectrum 48K)

The best part of Sabre Wulf? The graphics which make up the playing screen. They really make the game worth every penny.

Gulp (Peaksoft) (BBC Model B)

I became bored after playing only for a short time, so I can't recommend that you actually buy this game.

Worm Attack (Pulsonic) (Spectrum 48K)

Once you have cleared a sheet and eaten all the food in the garden, you are rewarded with... another sheet! And so this goes on. Whether you'll be able to stand playing this long enough to use up all your five lives, I don't know.

Horace Goes Skiing (Melbourne House) (Dragon 32)

This isn't really a bad game... I just don't think that I'd come back to it very often.
