---|---|---|---|---|---|
Spectrum 48K | Quazatron (Hewson Consultants) | It's totally brilliant! By far the most original scenario to pass before my eyes, and certainly the greatest all-round challenge. | 90% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Ping Pong (Imagine) | A smashing game. But if you persevere and learn the basic skills, you can get yourself embroiled in some sweaty situations requiring a pretty whippy wrist action. | 80% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Max Headroom (Quicksilva) | The visual displays are rather good and though the codes aren't too difficult to break it can get quite frantic running around searching offices and waiting for lifts! | 90% | ||
Spectrum 48K/128K | London Adventure (Fridaysoft) | There are much better and cheaper Quilled games around. | 30% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Green Beret (Imagine) | One of those arcade treats that makes you want to go back for more and practise your skills until you too are worthy of a Green Beret. | 90% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Cyberun (Ultimate) | A classic pick-up-the-pieces-'n'-shoot-'em-up with brilliant graphics, super smooth play and all the strictly gratuitous violence you could ever wish for... Sheer magic. . | 80% | ||
Spectrum 48K | CORE (A 'n F) | Core can be frustrating if you're only into fast arcade-action extravaganzas, but I reckon it's one of the best mixes of arcade and adventure games I've seen for some time. | 70% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Bounces (Beyond) | A dinosaur age game with a wimp title! Why not call it what there's load of in the game and what everyone will be saying after they've played it: Balls! | 40% | ||
Spectrum 48K/128K | Ballblazer (Activision) | There's nothing else quite like Ballblazer... The whole game is presented on a screen better split than a banana. | 80% | ||
Spectrum 48K/128K | Back To The Future (Electric Dreams) | Poorly designed, put together in a rush and not a little overpriced. The game is a non-starter. | 40% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes (Global) | In converting the film nominated Worst Vegetable Movie of all time, Global has created a tie-in far better than the original deserved. | 80% | ||
Spectrum 48K/128K | 30 Games (Argus Press) | Decide whether you want the four or five non-naff offerings and settle for the others as disposable extras. | 70% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Vectron (Firebird) | The graphics are good and fast, and the 3D effects are pretty realistic. | 70% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Survival (Central Solutions) | Jam-packed with sudden deaths that hit you with no warning. Survival really is an apt title. | 10% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Space Hunter (Mastertronic) | To call this a cut down version of Elite is a compliment to both. But Space Hunter isn't just a cheap imitation - it's a valid game in its own right. | 80% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Sodov The Sorcerer (Bug Byte) | Cheap and cheerful, although this game is as old as, if not the hills, then at least the earliest sword and sorcery arcades. | 70% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Show Jumping (Alligata) | Having done the hard part well - horse and jump simulation - Alligata falls at the final fence by failing to recognise the thrills of the original sport. | 60% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Sai Combat (Mirrorsoft) | Sai Combat is a good, if belated, entry into the kung-fu genre. | 80% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Roboto (Bug Byte) | Nothing revolutionary, but timing of the robots and the sliding doors is perfect so that each screen will take some time to master. | 80% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Mugsy's Revenge (Melbourne House) | Hey, boss, I can't help feelin' old Mugsy ain't really come that far. I tell ya, after da first few times I got really bored wid it. | 70% |
