Sport Top Ten (Zeppelin Games)

Sport Top Ten, like its counterpart, Games Machine, also has its instructions in that certain European language that I've mentioned far too much already.

Unfortunately, where this one falls down is the inclusion of International Truck Racing. Just the mention of the name sends a shiver down my spine. Everything else is fair mind you, in fact some of them are actually really good. Take International Tennis (no, not mine, get your own). This is a stonker of a tennis game. And Carnage, it's not anything to write home about but it's damned enjoyable for such a tiny overhead racer.

Getting down and dirty in the scrimmage in World Rugby can give you a good time too. But why oh why continues to associate these quite happy little games with International Truck Racing? I'll never understand marketing people.

American Tag Team Wrestling (50%) There's been so many wrestling games that a game needs to be great to make the mark. This one doesn't come close.

Carnage (70%) A nippy overhead racer, but so, so small.

Graeme Souness Soccer Manager (70%) One of the better soccer management games around for the C64.

International Ice Hockey (50%) You just don't get the feel of the violence inherent in a game of Ice Hockey.

International Tennis (70%) Wimbledon may be long gone but International Tennis lives on.

International Truck Racing (10%) Just don't ask, don't ask.

Kenny Dalglish's Soccer Manager (50%) An average footy management game.

World Rugby (50%) Rugby management without the group bathing sessions. Thankfully.

World Soccer (50%) There's little to distinguish this average footy management sim from KDSM.

World Cricket (30%) There's nothing like the sound of willow.
