Machine | Review Of | Quote | Score | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
BBC Model B | Brainstorm (Virgin Games) | A great game requiring thought... Brainstorm can be put on a parallel with chess and must be just as, if not more, complicated. | 79% | ||
Sord M5 | Devil Bird (CGL) | The incredibly powerful graphics and sound capabilities of the Sord cannot be fully exploited by the rather simple Basic-I and this fact becomes painfully obvious in this game. | 55% | ||
Commodore 64 | Kensington (Leisure Genius) | The hardest level plays a testing game... Perhaps this version will appeal to board-games, but it didn't really excite me. | 71% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Zenji (Activision) | A game that makes you think... Worth adding to your collection. | 94% | ||
Oric 1/Oric 48K | CDA (Njh) | You can't see what figures you're typing in... There's no cross-reference so you must look up the ASCII code in the user's manual. | 35% | ||
BBC Model B | Scrabble (Leisure Genius) | A magnificent game that can only be described as next to perfect. | 98% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Air Traffic Control (Mikro-Gen) | As absorbing as a flight simulator, but different! | 95% | ||
BBC Model B | Lingo (Complete Microcomputer Services) | It might be fun the first time, but I cannot see anyone really spending an evening round the micro just to play this game. | 56% | ||
BBC Model B | Jet Pac (Ultimate) | A fast, colourful arcade game with good graphics and excellent sound. | 73% | ||
TI99/4A | Scandarally (Softi) | Some numeric keys can control speed and cornering... I found trying to use these most difficult, partly because of not being very dexterous, but mainly because they do not work as expected. | 58% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Pyjamarama (Mikro-Gen) | An enormous variety of articles assail you, and in the Video Game room, there's even Space Invaders played with roast chicken, and knives and forks. | 91% | ||
Commodore 64 | Zim Sala Bim (Melbourne House) | This is a nicely thought-out game for the apprentice adventurer... The graphics help the realism and I like being able to use the joystick. | 68% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Kokotoni Wilf (Elite) | This game is average in its class, which means that it is better than some, and worse than others. | 88% | ||
BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Circus Games (Tynesoft) | A new and interesting variation on the decathlon type of program that has proved so successful over the years. | 80% | ||
BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Orbital (Impact) | If you like games which need a little bit of thought, this is one for you... It isn't complicated, but it contains a few interesting problems. | 80% | ||
Archimedes A3000 | Pac-Mania (Grandslam) | This game is an example of what really professional games companies can produce... It is superb. | 90% | ||
Archimedes A3000 | Repton 3 Collection (Superior/Acornsoft) | A reasonable package but nothing to get enthusiastic about. Superior intended it to be a conversion from the original, and that's what it is. | 100% | ||
BBC/Electron | Joe Blade II (Players) | An entertaining - if at times frustrating - game that will keep you amused for many an hour. | 80% | ||
Archimedes A3000 | Holed Out Extra Courses 2 (The 4th Dimension) | If you like desktop golf buy these new courses. | 80% | ||
Archimedes A3000 | Trivial Pursuit: Genus Edition (Domark) | This BBC Micro version is embarrassingly inferior to its Amstrad and Commodore counterparts. Make sure you try it out for yourself before handing over any money. | 60% |
