Looks like now is a good time to build up your games collection, with all these compilations about. This one is from Datasoft and contains some "Golden Oldies" from the arcades.

1. Dig Dug
   An old Atari game from 1984. You must tunnel through the earth collecting treasures, and killing any monsters you come across. There are two types of monsters: 'Pooka', a big fat clumsy thing and 'Fygar' a fire-breathing dragon. You can kill both in two ways, by either shooting them three times with your pump-gun, or undermining a boulder, causing it to drop on their heads!
   
   As you get further on in the game, the treasures get richer, but the monsters get faster.
   
   Once a firm favourite, but now looking a bit dated.
2. Mr. Do!
   Although two years old, this game still features strongly in my games collection.
   
   You must guide Mr. Do through the cherry field eating all in your path. Naturally, you'll have to watch out for the nasties. If you bump into any of them, death is certain. You need to be quick on the fire-button to hit them with your power-ball. Shoot all the letter-shaped monsters to win yourself an extra Mr. Do. There are many sheets to complete in this fast and furious game.
3. Pole Position
   Although over two years old, PP is still king of the racing games up and down the country. Sadly though, the same cannot be said about this C64 version.
   
   The game lacks just about everything. It has neither the speed nor the playability of the original. Chunky graphics and bad sound don't help much either.
   
   The end result is a below average racing game.
4. Pac-Man
   Needs no introduction. Undoubtedly the most successful arcade game ever.
   
   This is a faithful reproduction of the original. An excellent clone, with all the speed of the original.

Arcade Classics are all basically good copies of their big brothers but I can't seriously see this compilation competing with the more recent ones. A good one for aging arcade fans but, as is the case with Computer Hits 10, there are few other compilations around that I would advise you to think about buying first.
