The Sports Compilation (Ocean)

Italia '90 is the only semi-worthy thing here.

4 Most Balls, Boots And Brains (Alternative)

A fairly impressive compilation, one of very few to attempt to combine arcade games and management sims in one package.

Quattro Sports (Codemasters)

Pro Snooker is worth the asking price on its own. So buy one, get three free.

Megasports (Kixx)

If you've got the disk version, it can be quite fun as you dip from one game to another.

Hideous (Alternative)

One of the best games we've seen for a while... Four large levels, surprisingly tough puzzling element and not-bad-at-all arcade action.

International 3D Tennis (GBH)

Looks dead stupid, but plays better than any other tennis game.

Pro Tennis Tour (The Hit Squad)

An average tennis sim which takes an awful lot of getting used to.

Cyberball (The Hit Squad)

There's a great deal of tactical depth to this game and Grid Iron fans will love it, but the sluggish pace prevents it from being the sort of stunner it should have been.

Nightbreed (The Hit Squad)

Walk-of-the-mill beat-'em-up, with loads of impossible-to-avoid foes and double loads of mindless punching.

Silent Service (Kixx)

Silent Service is the only combat simulator to have been banned by the West German (as was) authorities for being too realistic.

Super Cars (GBH)

Some 'updated' games are just half-arsed rip-offs. But Supercars is a brilliant and inspired re-working of the theme.
