Antimatter Splatter (Bubble Bus) (Commodore Vic 20)

Bright and breezy graphics; fast action; good use of 3.5K. Not at all bad.

Catcha Troopa (Abrasco) (Commodore Vic 20)

Not a blockbuster, but the graphics are fair enough and so are the sound effects.

Chocabloc (Paramount) (Commodore Vic 20)

The multi-colour graphics give an attractive display overall on a vertically-stretched black screen, allowing for full instrumentation at the foot.

Countdown (Paramount) (Commodore Vic 20)

I have not seen a game quite like this; altogether original and most compelling.

Exterminator (Bubble Bus) (Commodore Vic 20)

A decent rendering of a favourite game - competent graphics with compatible sound and plenty to shoot at! I liked it.

Jogger (Paramount) (Commodore Vic 20)

While you are trying to cope with the accelerating pace, background music is provided with no less than three recognisable ditties - the programmer must be a musician!

Meter Mania (Abrasco) (Commodore Vic 20)

Altogether a pleasing game with the advantage of selectable screen and border colours: bravo, Abrasco.

Vixplode (Abrasco) (Commodore Vic 20)

Deserves to be in everyone's collection.

The Golden Apples Of Zeus (Romik) (Commodore Vic 20)

This game could do with a bit more scenario, but for its price maybe you shouldn't ask for much.

Commodore SX-64 (Commodore) (European Machines)

Neat, quite clever; but who is this computer actually for? It's also a shame the keyboard is so 'clickety-clackety' and that the specification is somewhat schizophrenic.

Aztec Challenge (Cosmi/Audiogenic) (Commodore 64)

With a couple of exceptions (notably the unconvincing vermin) the graphics on each stage are really excellent... While he runs, his feet go like crazy!

Forbidden Forest (Cosmi/Audiogenic) (Commodore 64)

Enough variety in play to make things interesting, a complicated scoring system to rack up Hi-Scores with your buddies, but especially the superb graphics and good detail - they all make this one something rather special.

Frantic Freddie (Audiogenic) (Commodore 64)

Not especially original, and it is all a bit two-dimensional; but the level of interest is maintained by a program of silly interludes, useless bonuses, and a constant stream of messages along the top of the screen.

Laser Strike (Isis Hathor) (Commodore 64)

A solid enough version of a standard arcade game, done with no little care and a satisfying degree of difficulty.

Slinky (Cosmi/Audiogenic) (Commodore 64)

The best game we've seen so far this year!

Zeppelin Rescue (Computer Software Associates) (Commodore 64)

The challenge is so great that the boredom threshold looks a long way off.

Fly Snatcher (Abrasco) (Commodore Vic 20)

There is obviously room for the player to develop expertise... Enhanced graphics would be beneficial.
