Machine | Review Of | Quote | Score | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Commodore Vic 20 | Galactic Abductor (Anirog) | A fast and challenging game which should be included in your collection. | 75% | ||
Oric 48K | Grail (Severn) | Graphically the game is very uninspiring. The user-defined characters are so small that it is difficult to see exactly what they are. | 45% | ||
Dragon 32 | Enter The Dragon (Blaby Computer Games) | Overall, this tape was very poor. The programs were slow and the keyboard unresponsive. | 20% | ||
Commodore Vic 20 | Krazy Kong (Anirog) | Challenging, fun, at times irritating, and above all, very good entertainment. | 85% | ||
Oric 48K | Harrier Attack (Durell) | Graphically the game is good, but it is difficult to play mainly because there are too many keys to press... A joystick would improve the game no end. | 65% | ||
Dragon 32 | Franklin's Tomb (Salamander) | 50 verbs and 80 nouns... The solutions to the problems require lateral thinking and sometimes the odd silly conclusion. | 87% | ||
Commodore Vic 20 | Scorpion (Livewire) | The only drawback is that no further instructions are given after those shown at the beginning of the game. | 90% | ||
Dragon 32 | Bonka (J. Morrison Micros) | Requires too high a degree of accuracy making it infuriatingly hard to go up ladders or 'Bonk' a meanie down a hole. | 75% | ||
Spectrum 48K | The Castle (Bug Byte) | As adventure games are not exactly my forte I was a little stumped at first, but with perseverence and a little 'help' from my friends, I achieved quite a respectable score. | 65% | ||
Jupiter Ace | Gobbledegook (Jupiter Cantab) | Even experienced arcade players will be kept hard at it manipulating the Ace's rubber keys to improve their scores. | 65% | ||
BBC Model B | Startrek (Micro Power) | Minimal sound 'blips', coarse graphics and very little colour. It's just not good enough! | 20% | ||
Oric 48K | 3D Maze Plus Breakout (IJK) | An entertaining version of the arcade game with several options for both the construction of the walls and the speed of play to demolish them. | 75% | ||
Oric 48K | Candy Floss And Hangman (IJK) | Good fun for all ages. | 65% | ||
Oric 48K | Xenon-1 (IJK) | I found the game so compelling that I didn't care about the hall of fame or the score I achieved. I just wanted to get past those Paratons to have a go at the battle star. | 90% | ||
European Machines | Acorn Electron (Acorn Computers) | The advanced BASIC, so positively stressed in the accompanying package and the instant availability of some excellent software make the Electron very attractive to the computer novice. | 88% | ||
BBC Model B | Scoop (British Telecom) | Similar to Typesetter, this is a very well-produced package and is obviously heavily subsidised by BT. | 83% | ||
BBC Model B | The Arthur Project (Unknown) | Despite the fact that I've not been overenthusiastic about some elements, the principle of the multimedia pack is an excellent one. | 71% | ||
BBC Model B | Bush Rescue (4Mation Educational Resources Ltd) | A pleasing addition to 4Mation's excellent range of adventure programs... It develops many important skills at a fairly high level and provides the busy teacher with numerous practical ideas for the classroom. | 75% | ||
BBC Model B | Whispy Wood (R.E.S.O.U.R.C.E.) | This program will enhance any project on woodlands undertaken with upper juniors. | 82% | ||
BBC B/B+/Master 128 | The Nature Park Adventure (Sherston Software) | There are some amusing touches with the game's children shrinking in size, meeting up with spiders and two Hitchcock style beetles (Lou and Bill)! | 89% |
