---|---|---|---|---|---|
Spectrum 16K | 3D Painter (CDS) | 3D Painter is an uncomplicated game, and sometimes the simple pleasures of life are the best. | 30% | ||
Spectrum 48K | The Black Planet (Phipps Associates) | If you're one of those people who have been playing Time Gate for months and months, then The Black Planet is for you. | 40% | ||
Oric 16K | Invaders (IJK) | Certainly, if you own an Oric, and you're an Invaders fan, then you'll enjoy playing this. | 70% | ||
Oric 48K | Dinky Kong (Severn) | Try this game out before buying and leave it alone if you find that jumping the obstacles is impossible! | 30% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Splat (Incentive) | If Horace hooked you, Zippy will amaze you with his moving maze... Splat could well become another classic. | 90% | ||
Spectrum 16K | Jungle Trouble (Durell) | Jungle Trouble is an amusing game. The monkeys are truly mischievous; they scratch their heads and tap you on the shoulder before they rob you. | 70% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Terror Daktil (Melbourne House) | An unusual variation of the vertical shoot-up theme, and it will take longer than average to tire of. | 70% | ||
Atari 400 | River Rescue (Creative Sparks) | An exciting game. The pace of the boat can be slowed marginally, using the joystick, but it tends to shoot off once you signal normal speed. | 80% | ||
Oric 48K | Nightrider (Cirosoft) | Use of graphics and sound is minimal... Seems more the type of game that a keen user would type in from a magazine listing rather than a commercial piece of software. | 20% | ||
Atari 400/800 | Orc Attack (Creative Sparks) | I soon got tired of having my head cut off while waving my sword about to no avail, but for the skilled, this game might well have something. | 80% | ||
Spectrum 16K | Harrier Attack! (Durell) | A disappointment. Taking off could have been made considerably harder, and after bombing the inhabitants of the enemy base back to the Stone Age a few times, it all became too predictable. | 70% | ||
Oric 1/Oric 48K | Gamespack (Sector 7) | I suppose this selection would be suitable for giving to a very young child at the same time as he or she gets their first computer. | 30% | ||
Atari 400/800 | Airstrike (English) | If you enjoyed the arcade game you will have to look at a great many games programs to find a better home computer version than this one. | 60% | ||
Commodore Vic 20 | Gridrunner (Llamasoft) | A most enjoyable game. | 70% | ||
Commodore 64 | Falcon Patrol (Virgin Games) | For the really excellent use of graphics, I would award this game full marks, and it is by far the best Virgin has produced yet. | 80% | ||
Commodore 64 | Sooper Fruit (Commodore) | Graphics are adequate, but even I missed the satisfying clunk of the wheels, not to mention the rewarding spitting noise the pub machines produce when forced to cough up. | 40% | ||
Commodore 64 | Super Dogfight (Terminal) | Unlike most popular games, the fire button does not allow for mindless fast fire, and requires careful aim before each shot. | 70% | ||
Atari 400/800 | Darts (Thorn EMI) | The graphics in this game are a delight. The screen displays a marvellous old English pub, with a clean-cut youth poised to throw. | 70% | ||
Spectrum 16K | Galakzions (Mikro-Gen) | 'Competent but uninspired' would seem to be the fairest verdict. | 50% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Plunder (Cases Computer Simulations) | It's sufficiently difficult to hold one's interest for a long time, and the concept behind it is novel, and well thought out. | 70% |
