Hardball (Accolade)

Almost an essential purchase.

Druid (Firebird)

A few days' fun to be had, especially if you've played and enjoyed Gauntlet.

They Stole A Million (39 Steps)

I don't think I'm cut out for a life of crime, even on the computer, but it's great fun having a go.

Glider Rider (Quicksilva)

A game with very clever graphics... It's a pretty good idea all round that has been executed well.

Light Force (Faster Than Light)

Could well be the definitive mindless, blast-it-if-it-moves and blast-it-if-it-doesn't type of game.

Werner: Mach Hin! (Micro Painter)

All the different games are rather odd and confusing to play, but the graphics make up for the inadequacies.

After Shock (Interceptor Micros)

If you are new to adventuring there are games that are more user-friendly, if not easier.

The Snow Queen (St Brides)

There are plenty of locations and particularly in the second part it is vital to draw a map of where you have been.

Inheritance: Panic In Las Vegas (Infogrames)

It is a shame that games involving more skill or judgement are not used in the final stages as this would have been more in keeping with the need for a logical mind in the first two parts.
