Fighter Bomber (Activision)

As a flight simulator, Bomber on the CPC is every bit as exciting as the 16 bit offerings, though without some of the obvious refinements.

Klax (Domark)

Already a success in the arcades, this coin-up has been converted marvellously onto the CPC. Get out and start Klaxing now.

The Cecco Collection (Hewson Consultants)

The Cecco Collection should not be missed.

Evening Star (Hewson Consultants)

For train lovers, gentle simulation addicts and those who yearn after a forgotten time, this is a must.

Italy 1990 (U. S. Gold)

With some neat sound effects thrown in, including the ever-present noises that crowds tend to make at football matches, this is a footie game not to be missed.

The Complete Games Centre (CDS)

You're going to need a month of rainy days at least if you want to do this collection justice!

Judge Dredd (Virgin Games)

Looks set to be a blockbuster of the highest order, with first class graphics to date and wonderfully smooth scrolling.

Fruit Machine 2 (Codemasters)

The sound effects are quite pleasing and the graphics are superb, but despite the prospects of hidden fortunes, turbo-skill and double and treble fruiters, there is still the problem that, unlike real fruit machines, you won't hear the tinkling of coins on the payouts.

Super Trux (Encore)

The graphics are a bit raw, but so is the excitement as your opponents attempt to ram you off the road.

Rad Ramp Racer (Mastertronic Plus)

Rad Ramp Racer is fun, although it is tricky to get the hang of the movements to start with.

Bounty Hunter (Codemasters)

Bounty Hunter is extremely playable, with plenty of action to hold interest, especially in the shoot-outs.

Live And Let Die (Encore)

An excellent offering with neat sound effects.
