Nightmare Maze (MRM) (Acorn Electron)

If you like a game that provides an infuriating challenge, buy it. I don't think you will be disappointed.

The Quest For The Holy Grail (Epic) (Acorn Electron)

Fantasia Diamond (Hewson) (BBC/Electron)

In summary, nothing outstanding, but a perfectly playable real time adventure if you enjoy this kind of game.

Where? (Micro Power) (Acorn Electron)

In my experience, children don't learn from this type of program, but I was impressed with the very rapid drawing of the outline map on the screen.

Millionaire (Incentive) (BBC/Electron)

No doubt this game will appeal to some people but personally I wouldn't choose to play it more than once, and would get more pleasure with a greater chance of earning a million from the newspaper's bingo.

Junior Maths Pack (Micro Power) (Acorn Electron)

Not one of the best educational tapes I have seen.

Watch Your Weight (Acornsoft) (Acorn Electron)

Which Salt? (Micro Power) (Acorn Electron)

Osprey (Bourne) (BBC/Electron)

If you need a simple computer based support to other schoolwork on this subject, then this might be of use to you, but I still cannot help feeling cheated by the simplicity of the package.

Blitzkrieg (Software Invasion) (Acorn Electron)

Spaceman Sid (English) (Acorn Electron)

Overall, the game is reasonable but presents an overriding impression of deja-vu which squashes its appeal rather quickly.

Sadim Castle (MP) (Acorn Electron)

Doesn't really rate in terms of construction, and lacks any unusual originality of content to compensate.

The Music System (Island Logic) (BBC B/B+/Master 128)

Galaxy Raiders (Visions) (BBC Model B)

Eagle's Wing (Software Invasion) (BBC Model B)

Spooks & Spiders (Software Invasion) (BBC Model B)

Attack On Alpha Centauri (Software Invasion) (BBC Model B)

Lingo (Complete Microcomputer Services) (BBC Model B)

Starmaze (Software Invasion) (BBC Model B)

Chartbuster (Alligata) (BBC Model B)

Alligata do not come up with below par games in the first instance... When they put a bunch together for our further delectation, and at a bargain price, it is time for those who did not buy first time around to take notice.

Sinbad (Virgin) (BBC Model B)

Neither the energy nor score is shown on the screen... Sinbad cannot be highly recommended.

3D Grand Prix (Software Invasion) (BBC Model B)

Castle Of Gems (MRM) (BBC Model B)

This must be one of the best value-for-money games around for the BBC and deserves to do well, as I am sure it will.

Jet-Pac (Ultimate) (BBC Model B)

Jet Pac is original and highly addictive.

The Saga Of Erik The Viking (Mosaic) (BBC Model B)

Artist (MRM) (BBC Model B)

This program is nice to use and makes intelligent and full use of the micro's operating system.

Son Of Blagger (Alligata) (BBC Model B)

The presentation is high with all the usual features such as sound on/off and hall of fame.

Squash (Pica) (BBC Model B)

Art Designer (Pica) (BBC/Electron)

Accountant

Sorting On Index

ROM Manager (Watford Electronics) (BBC Model B)

Dumpout 3 (Watford Electronics) (BBC B/B+/Master 128/Master Compact)

Maths Topics (Cambridge Micro Software) (BBC B/B+/Master 128)

The end of term report for this collection of maths topics must read, should try harder and cover more area!

Picture Builder (Hill MacGibbon) (BBC B/B+/Master 128)

Population Growth ()

Your Adventure (Learning and Training Systems) (BBC Model B)

Graph Easy (Hama) (BBC B/B+/Master 128)

A very well-organised and attractive package for anyone who likes to see graphs in action rather than read about them in their text books.

Telebook ()

Guided Discovery (Etna) (BBC/Electron)

A good try, but a little more time spent in the planning stage would have produced a tidier and more useful end result.

Run Rabbit Run (Hill MacGibbon) (BBC Model B)

Archaeology (Cambridgeshire Software House) (BBC Model B)

!If you believe in taking children out and about, be it parents from home or teachers from school, then I think this program is a must; if you don't, then this might encourage you to do so.
