Austerlitz 1805 (Cases)

A good recreation though of Napoleon's greatest conflict despite the lack of improvement in its execution.

Buffalo Bill's Wild West Rodeo Show (Tynesoft)

The graphics are fine, the sound's very atmospheric on the 128, and the gameplay is wildly addictive. All topped off with marvellous presentation - it's great!

The Crash Collection Volume 1 (US Gold)

Miss this compilation and you're as useless ass a whoopee cushion in a baked-bean factory!

Daley Thompson's Decathlon (The Hit Squad)

The cause of so many joystick deaths looks a tad crude on the graphics front by today's standards, but still retains the playability factor which made it such a hit!

Enduro Racer (The Hit Squad)

Gameplay retains a big challenge throughout - and still looks and plays well after all these years, which can't be bad!

Gilbert: Escape From Drill (Again Again)

Quite a fun little game. Younger games players familiar with the Gilbert character will love just exploring the city, so it might be worth buying for them.

Hardball (Kixx)

Though a little tricky to begin with, Hardball is worth perservering with as it's a decent and realistic simulation.

High Steel (Screen 7)

The presentation is unremarkable, but High Steel definitely has that intangible 'it' that makes playing enjoyable.

Jack The Nipper (Kixx)

A fantastic game.

Masters Of The Universe: The Movie

The graphics do slightly improve on some levels, but not enough to make you shout it from the roof tops! The tune doesn't resemble the cartoon series at all.

Monte Carlo Casino (Codemasters)

There's plenty of colour to be enjoyed, plus lots of jingles, tunes and sound effects.

Magnum Force (Sinclair)

Without good games to go with it, the Magnum lightgun will remain a gimmick to be dumped in the cellar.

Rambo (The Hit Squad)

Rambo: First Blood Part Two, to give it its full name, is fun, and in our opinion beats the new Rambo 3 for playability.

Dominator (System 3)

In its own right, it's a jolly good shoot-'em-up, and if you've spent the last five years locked away in a computerless environment, you might well find this excellent.

Scooby Doo

As fun to play today as it ever has been. It received a Crash Smash when it was originally reviewed, and we've enjoyed it so much it deserves another!

Superkid (Atlantis)

Fun for a while at the price. The trouble is that you soon tire of just rescuing the girls and guiding the grannies.

Titan (Titus)

With heaps of colour splashed around on the large scrolling maps, and not a bit of clash in sight, it makes the whole - and occasionally tricky - game all that much more fun.
