Looks like certain software houses are running out of new ideas, and have had to resort to compilations and arcade conversions. Beau Jolly have now released their third compilation in five months. On it, you will find:
- Super Pipeline II
You are a plumber who has to stop various nasties from damaging the network of pipes. A fun little game with good cartoon-style graphics. - Mutant Monty
Get the treasure and rescue the damsel in distress is the challenge you accept when you take on the role of Mutant Monty, but don't be fooled. The game is y-a-w-n boring! - Henry's House
Prince Henry (no relation!) sets out to discover the secret of the palace's eight rooms and has to collect various objects. The result: an average platform game. - Gribbly's Day Out
On the planet Blabgor, home of Gribbly Grobbly, all the little gribblets have done a bunk. Poor old Gribbly is lumbered with the job of finding them, which is not easy as it sounds. What else can I say but bright and cheerful graphics, great game. By far the best of the ten. - Snooker
Another simulation in the Steve Davis mould. You can choose how much power or spin to put on your match-winning break (well, my match-winning - 147 - break) but all the same a bad simulation, with unrealistic movement. - Mama Llama
Hairy Jeff Minter's old favourite, but isn't it just too late? - Raskel
A defender-style shoot-'em-up. Defend your track from invading aliens. Nice and fast. - Aqua Racer
A speedboat simulation. Race against the clock, but be sure to avoid other competitors for they are ready and willing to knock you off! A fast and addictive game. - Frenzy!
Fill in the screen with boxes but watch out for certain parties who may want to stop you. Primitive graphics and sound, but an increasing challenge all the same. - Circus
A graphic adventure from Adventuresoft. A reasonably good adventure game. A bit difficult, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
I regard under 50% of these games as "worth buying" - compilation or no compilation. The point is the bundle game packs are now so good that it is not enough to just lump any ten games together. People want good games - all good games too, not half good and half naff. My personal recommendation for the best compilations around go to Now Games I and II, They Sold A Million and Zzapp Sizzlers, in that order.

I regard under 50% of these games as worth buying - compilation or no compilation. Even with compilations now, people want good games - all good games too, not half good and half naff.
