The AMX Mouse Grows Up

Basic Editor (Acornsoft)

An interesting editor which requires you to learn a whole new system of writing programs... It doesn't quite answer my own prayers in quite the way I wanted, but writing a Basic program on the Beeb is certainly easier now than it ever has been before.

Battlefields (BBCSoft/BBC Publications)

If you're into history and prepared to spend the two hours or so to play one of these games, this package may be of some interest. But I felt that a good idea had been lost in a mediocre implementation poorly presented.

Repton (Superior)

Well worth getting... The problems set by this game are quite challenging and can be very tricky to puzzle out.

Crypt Capers (Software Projects)

To say that Crypt Capers is boring is opinionated, but to say that the controls are slow-reacting, the backgrounds unimaginative, and sound effects poor is all fact.

Drain Mania (Icon)

Not one of Icon's better games. It lacks excitement and challenge, and after a few goes has little more to offer even the most avid games player.

Island Of Xaan (Robico)

This game certainly has hidden depths in which you will wander for many an hour. Very professional indeed.

Assassin (Robico)

One of the best I've played for many a month. The problems are of average complexity, which made it fun rather than a task, and kept me playing into the early hours. Highly recommended.

6502 Development Package (Acornsoft)

It's a very powerful package but not without its faults. Personally, I think the good points outweigh the bad ones, and suggest that all serious programmers give every consideration to it.
