Jump Jet (Anirog) (Commodore 64)

All in all, a good simulator but one which adds little to Digital Integration's Fighter Pilot, except a change of scenery.

Quasimodo (US Gold) (Commodore 64)

Pretty simple but well put together and good fun to play.

Beach Head II (US Gold) (Commodore 64/128)

Graphically, it is not up to the high standard set in the first game, but if you loved the original this sequel will not disappoint you.

Way Of The Exploding Fist (Melbourne House) (Commodore 64)

One of the best games launched this year.

Everyone's A Wally (Mikro-Gen) (Commodore 64)

The individual tasks are the main play-challenge of the game. And pretty tough they are too.

Hustler (Bubble Bus) (Commodore 16/Plus 4)

If you're playing on your tod you get the option to put any ball in any pocket, pocket the balls in order, or put each ball in a particular pocket. Two players get a slightly more interesting scenario.

Blagger (Alligata) (Commodore 16)

Blagger's great and I'll play it till the cows come home... but I hate it.

The Captive (Mastertronic) (Commodore 64)

Enter the Glen of Coloured Corpses and test your acumen as an arcade adventurer... By careful acquisition and use of objects and artefacts plus full mobilisation of your pathfinger capabilities, a way out can be found.

Web Dimension (Activision) (Commodore 64)

If a truly addictive little game was lurking among all that sound and colour I'd say this was a great game; but it's just a rather expensive novelty.

On-Field Football (Activision) (Commodore 64)

If you enjoy gridiron football then this game is a faithful rendition.

Star League Baseball (Activision) (Commodore 64)

A good simulation, but not in Imagine's league. As a bonus there is a batting practice mode for sneaks to steal a march on prospective opponents.

The Bulge (Lothlorien) (Commodore 64/128/Spectrum 48K)

A good addition to your library of wargames and well up to Lothlorien's normal standards.

Herbert's Dummy Run (Mikro-Gen) (Commodore 64)

Despite the well-worn structure, the game is very good fun: plenty of variety, lots to do and think about, and deceptive levels of difficulty.

Fourth Encounter (Sparklers) (Commodore Vic 20)

Ideal for latecomers to the galactic battlefront, representing blindingly good value to trigger happy Vic owners, with a two player option thrown in.

Taskmasters (Sparklers) (Commodore 64)

A cut above the average basic shoot-'em-up simply because you can amble around a screen with real depth to it.

Chickin' Chase (Firebird) (Commodore 64)

Could prove quite catchy to barmy game-lovers.

Circus Circus (Firebird) (Commodore 64)

There's twenty screens to be hopped through. Can you reach all the exits and defy the horde of spritely spoil sports?

The Rocky Horror Show (CRL) (Commodore 64)

Since the instructions tell you just a few words more than nothing, merely finding out what to do will keep you gripped.

On-Court Tennis (Activision) (Commodore 64)

A good sports simulation with more than adequate graphics.

Amazon Warrior (New Generation) (Commodore 64)

There's nothing at all spectacular about this game. And considering it's programmed by a musician the tune doesn't exactly make you hum along.

Jack Charlton's Match Fishing (Alligata) (Commodore 64)

I'm not sure that employing even the shrewdest tactics actually helps your catch. Even a random choice of tackle gets you lots of bites.

Fast Load Cartridge (Epyx) (Commodore 64/128)

Does its job extremely well and offers a load of other facilities into the bargain.

Music Maker Playalong Albums (Commodore) (Commodore 64)

All these playalong albums have educational value for the musical beginner who's impatient to produce impressive sounds straightaway. And, for the rest of us, they prove what a wonderful little machine the C64 really is.

Watch Your Language: Alternatives To Basic On The C64 (Commodore 64)

Microelectronics A To Z (Longman) (Commodore 64)

A good dictionary, if you're into dictionaries.

Basic Programming On The Commodore 64 (Micro Press) (Commodore 64)

A worthwhile addition to your programming library.

The Century Computer Programming Course For The Commodore 64 (Century) (Commodore 64)

The definitive Basic book for the C64.

Cricket Suite (Commodore 64)

Of the three cricket games for the C64, only Tim Love's Cricket and Graham Gooch provide the extra element of arcade gameplay.
