---|---|---|---|---|---|
Archimedes A3000 | White Magic (The 4th Dimension) | Playability is good... I had to tear myself away in order to write this review. | 70% | ||
Archimedes A3000 | Casino (Minerva) | Casino is quite a bit of fun for one or two players. | 80% | ||
Archimedes A3000 | Ibix The Viking (Minerva) | This is a fun game and I enjoyed playing it... The default screens take you very simply through basic puzzles getting you familiar with the style of problem and how to solve them. | 80% | ||
Archimedes A3000 | The Sun Computer Crosswords Volume 6 (Akom) | The style and difficulty seems very similar for the Sun and Times crosswords... To me, a relative novice, they were either hard or harder. | 60% | ||
BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Play It Again Sam 9 (Superior/Acornsoft) | With the exception of Mr. Davis's contribution, good old Sam's done it again. | 80% | ||
Archimedes A3000 | Holed Out! (The 4th Dimension) | The graphics are effective and have amusing little touches like the ripples when the ball hits water and sand flying into the air when you are trying to get out of a bunker. | 90% | ||
BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Play It Again Sam 8 (Superior/Acornsoft) | A reasonable collection, although I've had enough of Repton... If you lack one of the games, it's a good buy - if you're missing two or more it's a bargain. | 90% | ||
BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Predator (Superior/Acornsoft) | This is another Peter Scott work... which guarantees that it's as good a rendition on the BBC Micros could be achieved. | 80% | ||
Archimedes A3000 | Crossword Call Up (NORICC) | XWord contains puzzles of a high standard but is let down slightly by a few minor niggles. | 70% | ||
Archimedes A3000 | Overload (Clares Micro Supplies) | Games of this type need to be finely balanced between frustration and difficulty... On this occasion, I think that the authors have made it slightly too difficult. | 70% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Spectrum Sprites (Interactive Software People) | A little re-programming will solve the problems with this... ISP should have done this, not the customer. | 58% | ||
BBC Model B | Drum Kit (Quicksilva) | All rhythms and voices can be saved... Results are often satisfying and easily achieved. | 89% | ||
TI99/4A | Cu*Bert (Stainless) | Although the program worked without interruption for several runs, it subsequently crashed with a Bad Value. | 71% | ||
TI99/4A | Breakpoint (Stainless) | Detailed graphics make this enjoyable to play and watch. | 80% | ||
Spectrum 48K | The Screen Machine (Interactive Software People) | There are easier designers on the market, with more facilities... The 95 extra graphics have a copyright notice, which renders them useless. | 41% | ||
BBC Model B | Englishskills 2 (Griffin) | Even those things which are included here could all be fitted onto a few sheets of A4 paper with the answers on the back. | 30% | ||
BBC Model B | Wordskill (Chalksoft) | Does it encourage "immaginative thinking" and "correct spelling"? I can't say I'm convinced. | 54% | ||
Memotech | Maths 1 (Continental) | Nothing more than an attempt to take advantage of the gullibility of parents. | 19% | ||
BBC Model B | Storyline (Daco) | This is one of those programs where more time and thought could have improved matters greatly. In particular, you need to be offered a much wider choice of words. | 50% | ||
Acorn Electron | Science 1 (Shards) | The package could help those preparing for O-Level or CSE. | 89% |
