Magazine Reviews (9)

Linked reviews are available to view in full on this site.

Gandalf (Commodore 64)

It deserves a look, but what a pity there are only two screens - and where's the "realistic sound" advertised on the inlay?

The Horse Lord (BBC Model B)

The closing image is that of a grotesque head with blood gushing from it - not for the squeamish.

Ledgeman (BBC Model B)

An excellent game with a lot of variety. After seven screens you return to the beginning and the skill level is increased.

Vampire Killer (Spectrum 48K)

It's all based on a random set-up, and is not entirely bug-free... Gets rather boring after a few plays.

Airlift (BBC Model B)

There just isn't enough going on to make Airlift as addictive as it ought to be.

African Safari (Commodore 64)

If this abolishes the distinction between arcade and adventure, then give me one or the other every time.

Manic Miner (Amstrad CPC464)

The game runs in Mode 1, so only four colours are available, but surely more detail could have been put into each character?

Kong Strikes Back (Commodore 64)

The background music is great and the animation is impressively smooth. The fact that there's only four screens means that the challenge is very limited.
