Machine | Review Of | Quote | Score | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Spectrum 48K/128K | Party Willy (Broadsoft) | A very difficult JSW clone indeed. Enthusiasts will love it; others will tear the hair from their scalps. | 80% | ||
Spectrum 48K/128K | War Machine (Players Premier) | We were never sent War Machine to review and, alter two seconds playing time, it was all too too clear why. It's a load of old twaddle. | 30% | ||
Spectrum 48K/128K | Superstar Seymour (Codemasters) | Polished, sparkly programs with a variety of game styles. The arcadey ones are good fun, and Sgt's a gem. | 68% | ||
Spectrum 48K/128K/+2/+3 | Super All-Stars (Codemasters) | Do I reckon you should buy this compilation? Well, why not? | 84% | ||
Spectrum 48K/128K | Steg The Slug (Codemasters) | A game that has obviously been honed to perfection by the programmer. There really is nothing to complain about here. | 90% | ||
Spectrum 48K/128K/+2/+3 | Pictionary (The Hit Squad) | This really is the most banal thing I've played in ages. Considering buying it? Don't! It's truly useless. | 30% | ||
Spectrum 128K | Madness Remix (The Mad Guys) | Another celebration-of-the-scrolly demo. I like it! | 72% | ||
Spectrum 48K/128K/+2/+3 | Fun School 2: For Over 8s (The Hit Squad) | These are very nearly mega-games but, being BASIC, the programs are quite slow to respond to key presses, and, for young children, this could be very frustrating. | 89% | ||
Spectrum 48K/128K | Crystal Kingdom Dizzy (Codemasters) | Crystal Kingdom Dizzy would have been a mid-eighties score, but that high price tag really does knock the score down. | 70% | ||
Spectrum 48K/128K | Count Duckula 2 (Alternative) | This is the Worst Speccy Game Of All Time, and it's not even enjoyably bad. It's just insultingly bad. | 9% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Boulder Dash (Prism) | It doesn't push the Speccy in terms of machine use, but you'll be hard-pressed to find a game with more playability per inch. | 86% | ||
Spectrum 48K/128K | Aztec Assault (Zenobi Software) | A text only game, with nothing much in the way of special features, but it is 100% accurate and has a wealth of educational detail. | 80% | ||
Spectrum 48K/128K/+2/+3 | Atom Ant (Hi-Tec) | Glitch-free and smartly detailed graphics can't really disguise the essential sameness of the gameplay but for a while at least, it's extremely good fun. | 70% | ||
Sinclair QL | 3D Slime (Datalink) | A lovely looking, simple to play, but hard to master, game. | 90% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Zorro (U. S. Gold) | Fun to play and surprisingly addictive. | 80% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Yabba Dabba Doo (Quicksilva) | If you're a Flintstone freak, it's an essential purchase. Otherwise, it has all the qualities needed to reduce your mind to rubble. | 80% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Twister (System 3) | A thoroughgoing if derivative whizz-bang shoot-'em-up. | 70% | ||
Spectrum 48K/128K | Spitfire '40 (Mirrorsoft) | Not nearly so difficult to get into as some earlier simulators, and it's very engaging with its role playing element. | 90% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Skyfox (Ariolasoft) | Until you've chased a Foxbat nose-to-vapour-trail in some neck jerking turns in this baby, you've never played a flight/combat game. | 90% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Schizofrenia (Quicksilva) | I suspect there's a lot more to the game than just getting through the screens but since the animation makes all so hard, I can't tell you for sure. | 40% |
