Eddie Edwards' Super Ski (Loriciels)

Great graphics and fast-moving action, but not really enough game in there.

Dark Side (Incentive)

Even better than its prequel Driller... More logical problems and a tighter time limit.

Captain Blood (Infogrames)

Captain Blood is a vast improvement on recent Infogrames products, but still lacks a little something in the gameplay department.

Impact (Audiogenic)

Good fun to play, even if it does lose out on originality.

Blood Brothers (Gremlin)

The searching and blasting aspects have been mixed well to produce an enjoyable, if unoriginal game.

Geebee Air Rally (Activision)

Eight levels of increasing difficulty but they're all basically the same.

Karnov (Electric Dreams)

Poor graphics and frustrating gameplay. Another boring kill the monsters game.

Lazer Tag (Go)

It won't get your adrenalin pumping because it's a war of attrition. However it gets tough later on, even if the action is very predictable.

The Race Against Time (Codemasters)

Plenty of problems to solve... Only having one life is enormously frustrating.

Eye (Endurance Games)

It's unusual for a board game to convert well to a computer, but this is a pleasant exception.

Streetfighter (Go)

Ten different opponents of increasing difficulty. But, once you've beaten them all, there's nothing left to do.

Soccer 6128 (Graeme McQuoid)

A challenging management game that is let down a little by presentation.

Metal Army (Players)

Colourful with a large playing area full of robots... But a simple mistake can make the game impossible to complete!

On Cue (Mastertronic)

If haven't already got a snooker game then at a budget price it's good value.

Time And Magik (Level 9/Mandarin)

I can't help feeling sorry for anyone who doesn't add this jewel to their collection.
