---|---|---|---|---|---|
Spectrum 48K | Raider of The Cursed Mine (Arcade) | You travel across the screen horizontally by walking, and vertically through a choice of three lifts. This is an interesting variant and well thought out. | 80% | ||
Commodore Vic 20 | Puzzle Pack (Sumlock) | All of the puzzles use keyboard graphics, not user defined ones, and do not have very good sound. Not suitable for anyone over the age of ten. | 34% | ||
Spectrum 48K | The Detective (Arcade) | Don't be fooled by the title - this is just another version of Space Invaders. Fun to play but by no means a classic. | 51% | ||
Spectrum 16K/48K | Galaxians (Artic Computing) | A good version of a great game. | 77% | ||
Spectrum 48K/128K | Camelot (Cases Computer Simulations) | You can buy more supplies are at various bazaars that are scattered around, but the method for purchasing goods is, to say the least, tedious. | 15% | ||
Oric 48K | Star Fighter (Durell) | An excellent game for anyone who likes plenty of noise and excitement and very good value at the price. Shame it can't be played with a joystick though. | 66% | ||
TI99/4A | ABM Control (Fantasia 99) | An excellent game. Oh, and you need a joystick to play it. | 83% | ||
Dragon 32 | Storm Arrows (Dragon Data) | A well-written machine code program with good graphics and a nice random colour change with each new screen. | 87% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Robber (Virgin Games) | The best thing about this is the cassette cover art. As for the game, well, the graphics are small, fiddly and rather amateurish, while the movement is jerky and difficult to judge. | 21% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Quetzalcoatl (Virgin Games) | Original, challenging and fascinating. | 68% | ||
Spectrum 16K | Pool (Bug Byte) | I think a game which attempts to simulate a real game should do a better job than this. | 21% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Bugaboo The Flea (Quicksilva) | Beautifully simple in concept, yet delightfully difficult in practice. The speed, colour and animation are superb, and I thoroughly recommend it for anyone's collection. | 88% | ||
Oric 16K | Killer Caverns (Virgin Games) | The program is simple to use, requiring only left and right cursor keys... I'd only consider it average value though. It quickly lost my interest. | 39% | ||
Commodore 64 | Super Skramble (Terminal) | Will keep the youngster programmers - and some older ones too - happy for hours. | 63% | ||
Commodore 64 | Crazy Kong (Interceptor Micros) | Very disappointing. Playing seems almost entirely based on luck whilst most of the graphics are made up of 8x8 CHR$ sprites... even Kong who seems a bit squared off at the edges. | 15% | ||
Atari 2600 | The Official Frogger (Starpath Corporation) | A comprehensive game which sticks very closely to the original arcade game yet complies with the constraints of the memory limitations which the Atari VCS dictates. | 84% | ||
Amstrad CPC464 | Sudoku (Cronosoft) | A slick and addictive implementation of the paper-based original. | 90% | ||
Spectrum 48K/128K | Rallybug & Banger Management (Cronosoft) | Yet another solid and playable Jonathan Cauldwell production, with the originality that we have come to expect. | 70% | ||
PC (Windows) | Dungeon Siege 2 (Microsoft Game Studios) | Hardly a huge leap forward, yet fun nonetheless. | 70% | ||
Sega Genesis | R.B.I. Baseball '93 (Tengen) | Another high quality baseball title, more suited to the less fussy baseball fanatic. | 83% |
