Alien 8 (Ultimate)

This game, and Knight Lore by the same team, leave absolutely everything else standing.

World Cup (Artic Computing)

Playing against the computer, it always seems to be one jump ahead of you. I think I'd rather use the money I'd spend on this to see some real football.

Fantastic Voyage (AMSOFT)

A drive around the human body... Although the patient in question seems to be wired up very strangely indeed!

Traffic (AMSOFT)

This game will deepen your awareness of traffic congestion and your sympathy for coppers on windmill duty.

Colossal Cave (Duckworth)

Pete Gerrard (the author) has written a fairly intelligent book on how to write adventures for yourself, but in his own games he misses the finer points.

Castle Dracula (Duckworth)

The vocabulary is very poor, it lacks synonyms and only contains the words necessary for the completion of the game.

Mountain Palace (Duckworth)

It's a very beginners' adventure, not hard, not easy. The only let down is speed and vocabulary.

Kong Strikes Back (Ocean)

What is so boring about this game is that the whole thing takes place on only one piece of track.

Super Pipeline II (AMSOFT)

A very addictive game... The music is quite jolly and short cartoons when you finish each task add a finishing touch.

Frank N Stein (AMSOFT)

A reasonable little game.

The Scout Steps Out (AMSOFT)

There are some screens in the game that are a little difficult at first, but the ability to replenish your cornflakes makes it reasonably easy to get the hang of them.

Execution (Datacom Communications)

This is just a hangman game, with an enthusiastic cassette cover.

Psychedelia (Llamasoft)

This will appeal to people who like the Laserium and other sorts of light shows. The rest of you will either love this one or loathe it.
