---|---|---|---|---|---|
BBC Model B | Frak (Aardvark) | A classic... and a first edition might be worth a few bob one day. | 88% | ||
Oric 48K/Atmos | Picture Book (Softbacks) | A child who is still learning to spell words such as "TOY" may not be capable of loading this program and using the QWERTY keyboard. | 93% | ||
Commodore 64 | Turbo Extended Basic (Aztec) | A cheap alternative to BC Basic, it's better than nothing. | 65% | ||
Dragon 32 | Fishy Business (Salamander) | A challenge... Quite amusing (watch out for the red herrings!) and worth the price. | 70% | ||
Amstrad CPC464 | Bridge Player (CP) | A boon to the less experienced player is the scoring screen. | 95% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Keydefine (Scientific) | A block delete routine is missing, but a key can be redefined and added to the menu. | 68% | ||
Sinclair ZX81 | Wrath Of Kong (Softchoice) | A bit overpriced, which may deter some of the younger ZX81 owners, and that would be a pity. | 89% | ||
Commodore Vic 20 | Jackpot (Mr. Chip) | A beautifully-written simulation giving superb graphics, animation and use of colour. | 90% | ||
Dragon 32 | Fun To Learn (Shards) | Fun To Learn is not, as it claims, "A comprehensive teaching program" - I doubt if such a package will ever exist. | 65% | ||
BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Evening Star (Hewson Consultants) | Evening Star has that special something which separates the simulators from the games - realism! | 90% | ||

TI99/4A | 3D Star Trek (Stainless) | 3D Star Trek is very slow but is quite enjoyable and makes good use of TI graphics. | 70% | ||
BBC/Electron | 3D Pool (Firebird) | 3D Pool is quite simply the most addictive game on the market today - you have been warned. | 90% | ||

BBC Model B | 10 Computer Hits 3 (Beau Jolly) | 10 Computer Hits 3 contains the odd game of dubious quality but overall it is still excellent value for money. | 80% | ||
