Repton 2 (Superior)

You win when you have collected thousands of bits of soil and diamonds and jigsaw pieces and also killed all the monsters and used all 64 transporters.

Commando (Elite)

It is easy to start, but not at all easy to complete... Much here to please the confirmed electronic psychopath.

Moon Cresta (Incentive)

Very professionally written and the graphics and animation are excellent.

Bounty Bob Strikes Back (US Gold)

For all of its background colour, the game ends up being rather dull when it comes to actually playing it.

Bruce Lee (US Gold)

The ideal karate game... Easy to get into, easy to clock up respectable scores of many thousands but still keeps you very much on the edge of your seat.

Beta-Accounts (Clares)

A useful and sensible package which will be suitable for many users.

Care Series (Squirrel)

All three programs are quite impressive and perform as well as much more expensive packages. But how many people really want to double-check their various accounts when the banks, building societies and others provide such detailed statements already?

The Barry Box (BLM Electronics)

A fascinating tool for exploring digitised sound.

The BBC Micro And The Small Business (BBC Soft)

This is a useful introduction to business uses on the BBC Micro and, with the support of the BBC, it is sure to sell well while it remains reasonably current.

An Introduction To Microprocessors (Thorn EMI)

This is an excellent book for the determined enthusiast or hobbyist or for schools - I will certainly be keeping it by me as a quick reference guide.

The Professional Touch (Sigma)

Although it does not offer much to the professionals, it could certainly help people like me to (perhaps) make some money out of our software.
