Paperboy (Elite)

The game is fun at first, but the more you play it, the more boring it becomes.

Sand Harvest (Longman)

A very valuable tool in the hands of the educationalist striving to encourage awareness of the world community.

Cuthbert Catches A Cold (Selective)

Congratulations, Selective, on a well thought out, very professionally produced pack that will stimulate lots of back-up work.

Droom (Hummec)

It is a very flexible program in that it need not be finished in one session - it is written in such a way that you can dip into it whenever you like.

Arkanoid (Imagine)

Very addictive and well worth the money.

Konami Coin-Op Hits (Imagine)

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

Pro-Punter (DGA)

Master ROM (Beebug)

The chip contains a number of commands which are useful to BBC B Micro owners too, but it's mainly for those of us with Masters.

Advanced Quarter Meg RAM (ACP/Pres)

ACP has managed to squeeze no less than 256K of RAM into a standard cartridge for the Electron and Master 128. It provides sixteen Sideways RAM sockets, which can be used for running ROM images or as a silicon disc - or even a combination of both functions.

Music 4000/Music 5000 (Hybrid Technology)

It's possible to create music with very little knowledge, either of music notation, or of Ample notation, and I would recommend it to budding composers and musicians, or to any music lovers interested in exploring the many varied possibilities of music composition.

View Professional (Acornsoft)

Not a package designed for beginners. As a word processor, View Professional fails to impress. It has some improvements on View, but also some limitations. Its column-based formatting of text can lead to confusion and mistakes.
