---|---|---|---|---|---|
Commodore 64 | Mutant Monty (Artic Computing) | I for one get hopelessly addicted to this kind of game and found myself going back for more. | 70% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Plummet (Interceptor Micros) | Getting all 30 ropes ought to be a challenge - but I don't think anyone will be able to stand the tedium for long. | 60% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Brian Bloodaxe (The Edge) | There are surprises around every corner, and the most obvious way of crossing the screen is not necessarily the best. | 80% | ||
Commodore 64 | Cave Fighter (Bubble Bus) | There is little variation on each of the 30+ levels and 99 lives made it tedious. For me, there was not much of a long term challenge. | 40% | ||
BBC/Electron | Battlefields (BBCSoft/BBC Publications) | Strongly recommended. Great skill is required to judge the likely position and movement of enemy forces and to coordinate one's own armies to maximum effect. | 90% | ||
Commodore 64 | Impossible Mission (Epyx) | Apart from the incredible speech, animation and sound effects, this game has a real challenge to offer. | 90% | ||
Commodore 64 | The Staff Of Karnath (Ultimate) | A sheer delight... A superb game, more like watching a film at times. | 90% | ||
Commodore 64 | Skyline Attack (Century) | A pleasant enough game, and certainly pretty to look at. But I'm afraid to say, I preferred the free game of Snake. | 70% | ||
Commodore 64 | Spy Vs. Spy (Beyond) | The best game I've seen on the C64 in ages. | 80% | ||
Commodore 64 | Fort Apocalypse (U. S. Gold) | Essentially an underground Choplifter... Always something happening on screen! | 60% | ||
MSX | Fire Rescue (Kuma Computers) | A ladders and platforms affair in which you have to rescue cute mice from the encroaching flames. Very dull indeed. | 30% | ||
MSX | Hyper Viper (Kuma Computers) | Somehow manages to be quite compulsive despite the many drawbacks it labours under. | 50% | ||
Dragon 32 | Worlds Of Flight (Microdeal) | This is an extremely good flight simulation, and is well worth considering, as long as your Dragon is equipped with two potentiometer joysticks. | 80% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Billy Bluebottle (Power) | Though you won't find any startlingly original game concepts, you won't end up bemoaning the lack of inventiveness. | 70% | ||
Commodore 64 | Tapper (U. S. Gold) | Great fun to play... Genuine arcade standard graphics, plus some atmospheric music. | 70% | ||
Oric 48K | Trouble In Store (Orpheus) | At last, a corking platform game on the Oric...! A winner! | 80% | ||
Spectrum 16K | Deathchase (2.99 Classics) | The key layout is well thought out and enables you to concentrate on the game instead of your fingers... Every time I hit a tree it brought tears to my eyes. | 80% | ||
Commodore 64 | Ghostbusters (Activision) | Cynics will say the gameplay is terribly simple, but thanks to the music and the overall structure of the game, most people will find it offers hours of entertainment. | 80% | ||
BBC Model B | Castle Of Gems (MRM) | With 18 different and complicated screens, this is a must for Beeb owners. | 80% | ||
Dragon 32 | Ice Castles (Spectral Associates) | The main problem with the game is in the control. The joystick seems to take on a mind of its own and automatically whips you round corners and obstacles. | 50% |
