Hostages (Infogrames) Strategy and action are combined in Infogrames' Hostages, yet another game that calls for a mix of arcade and strategy skills. It's edge-of-the-seat thrills all the way when you take control of a team of six crack commandos - as Graeme Kidd discovered in his attempts to rescue hostages after a terrorist attack... |

Exolon (Hewson Consultants) Continuing Hewson's assault on the 16-bit front comes Exolon, a flick-screen shoot-'em-up converted from Raphael Ceccio's 8-bit original. Steve Jarratt wonders if it's another case of a pint in a quart pot. |

Zynaps (Hewson Consultants) While vertically-scrolling shoot-'em-ups are two-a-penny on the ST and Amiga, the 'progressive' blaster is a genre that 16-bit owners very rarely get to see. Hewson's Zynaps is one of the first to appear - Gary Whitta lets rip... |

Action Service (Cobra Soft) It's gruelling out there, training to be a Cobra Force Commando. Attempt three training missions, or design your own course to test yourself to the limit, but remember to do your best - every move is videoed from the Command Post. Infogrames' Action Service is much more than a Combat School clone. Graeme Kidd reports from the training camp. |

Where Time Stood Still (Ocean) Arcade game or adventure? Black and white graphics on a colour monitor? Most odd. Ocean's latest epic from Denton Designs is a strange game in many ways... as Graham Taylor found out when he journeyed through a land Where Time Stood Still... |

Eliminator (Hewson Consultants) Hewson's first original 16-bit product was initially designed as a motorbike racing game featuring tunnels which the bike would be able to ride up, in true 'Wall Of Death' style. However, technical problems meant that this idea was dropped in favour of a different approach. Steve Jarratt takes a closer look... |

Pacmania quickly developed a cult following when it appeared in the arcades earlier this year, and Grand Slam's officially licensed conversion will undoubtedly do the same. Gary Penn goes wicka wicka... |
