Gargoyle Classics

Back in the mists of time when Acid house was still a semi-detached, a whole batch of games came out that were head and shoulders above the competition. Sweevo's World, simple but great fun, features a cartoon cross between Stan Laurel and ET in an attempt to clean up a planet. Marsport takes place on a hostile Mars trying to save the Earth (well it was a long time ago, and sounded original). Others included: Tir Na Nog, Dun Darach and my personal favourite Heavy On The Magik, a great blend of arcade action and adventure puzzles.

A must for games players who missed these the first time round, each is a solid, well thought out game. Some of them look a little dated, but they all have an undisguisable quality. Two Raves and two Mastergames from four reviews ain't bad by anyone's reckoning!

Verdict

P. Once a classic, always a classic!
N. Time has dated these - just a little.
