Impossible to fault the value offered by these six titles.
Cadcam Warrior is a bit of a mega-production where you guide a droid through a computer system, engaging in 3D combat all the way. In order to rectify a fault. You need to get involved to appreciate the depth of programming.
Hybridise Time Pilot with Moon Patrol and you end up with Battle Through Time. There's a constant procession of planes ready to bombard your buggy plus rocks, craters and jack-in-the-boxes to jump over. T.Rex get a look in.
Heroes Of Karn is part of a trilogy but can stand on its own quite admirably. A graphical adventure.
"Although the graphics are tremendous I'm not sure there is enough of a lasting challenge to this game" we claimed in the review of Eddie Kidd's Jump Challenge. You get to leap barrels and cars and dabble with wheelies. It's all a matter of balance and accurate gear changing.
Rocket Roger is a tough but very rewarding jet-pack aided search for rocket fuel through the caverns of a hostile planet. Control is not easy but you need to learn pronto if you are to evade the various aliens and slip through the laser gates. A vast playing area is provided, giving that feeling of exploring.
Allow yourself the luxury of 99 lives to tackle Cave Fighter. Precision leaping from ledge to ledge, rope climbing, alien-shooting and generally squeezing through narrow gaps make up the gameplay. This is a very well-designed platform game and not just another exploitation of the familiar style.
