In Green Beret, you are a 'highly trained combat machine', and your task is to rescue the captives held by the enemy. Your initial weapon is a knife, but by killing the Commandant, you collect other weapons, which you are advised to save until the end of the current stage, when you will be attacked by every enemy.

I have completed two stages, but haven't caught sight of the Commandant - only men who kick me in the face. It is hard to see yourself against the background, which makes fighting difficult. The scrolling is almost smooth, the sound effects reasonably realistic, but the game is quite dull.

The next game, Mikie, is a version of the arcade game in which you are the schoolboy collecting hearts in order to get a message to your girlfriend. It's an amusing game with simple, but reasonable, graphics. The keyboard is sometimes annoying, but Mikie is my favourite of the four.

Hyper Sports is another arcade follow-up with Chariots Of Fire as the loading tune. This is a very good game; the action is smooth, the graphics are good, and so is the sound, but after each event it has to load in the next one, which takes approximately five minutes. Then, if you fail that particular event, you are forced to rewind the tape and start all over again!

The last game is Yie Ar Kung Fu. This is good fun, and always seems to persuade me to have another go. You battle against ten opponents, was with different abilities.

The whole package is good value, but there is room for improvement.
