Devastation is another version of the popular bomber arcade game in which you have to destroy a city by dropping bombs on it, in order to land your crippled aircraft. In this version, as well as bombs you have a number of forward-firing missiles and you also have the ability to climb should you get into trouble. This facility can only be used a limited amount of times, however, as there is a shortage of fuel. The game may be played at any one of five skill levels, and in spite of it being another version of an old game I found it very entertaining.

Sabotage, again, is a variation on an old theme. You are presented with an oil field containing several wells owned by a villainous profiteer who is holding the world to ransom with his exorbitant prices. Your job is to destroy the wells with explosives, but each well must be blown up in numerical order and you are not allowed to cross back over the fuse wire you have laid.

Graphics and colour are very good and the two games of Devastation and Sabotage together at the price shown are well worth a look at.
