Dan Dare III (Virgin)

One of the best games ever, have a look for yourself!

Elven Warrior (Players Premier)

Elven Warrior will keep you occupied for ages, working out where all the potions are and starting again because you jumped on the wrong cliff and into a fire! Great fun.

F-19 Stealth Fighter (Microprose)

It takes some time to get the thing started, but once you have the game sussed, it's well worth it. Definitely one for all the flight sim fans.

Frankenstein Jnr. (Cartoon Time)

You could get some enjoyment out of this if you've never played Bride Of Frankenstein... there are some puzzles that will keep you playing for a while.

Gazza's Super Soccer (Empire)

Another football game trying to imitate such greats as Match Day. It's a pity it hasn't worked really.

Joe Blade III (Players Premier)

Hours of enjoyment: an instant hit with me, take a look at it for yourself.

Olli And Lissa 3 (Cartoon Time)

An instant hit... I’m sure you’ll love it too. A brilliant cartoon adventure.

Pro Tennis Tour (Ubisoft)

There's nothing here that hasn't been seen in all the other tennis games that have come out on the Spectrum.

Pub Trivia Simulator (Codemasters)

Pub Trivia Quiz is much more fun when you play with a few friends, but even if you play the one player game you can get hours of enjoyment out of it.

Rally Cross Simulator (Codemasters)

Brings back all those happy days spent with things like Scalextric. Quite an enjoyable game.

Speedboat Assassins (Mastertronic Plus)

May be good fun for the first couple of plays, but you soon lose interest.

Test Drive II: The Duel (Accolade)

Worth taking a look at, but you could soon get bored of driving up and down the same roads.

Tintin On The Moon (Infogrames)

This would have been an excellent game if it had been endowed with a bit more challenging gameplay, - if you don't believe me, try it yourself!

The Triple Pack (Leisure Genius)

The games are all faithful conversions of the classic originals and if you get together with a few friends you can have lots of fun with them without a small metal shoe or a candle stick being stuck under the sofa!

Turbo OutRun (US Gold)

I wouldn't say that this is the most realistic car racing game around: I mean, the car is so big you can hardly see what is coming up ahead!

Wizard Willy (Cartoon Time)

I was very disappointed with Wizard Willy, with plenty of better games around at the same price.

World Championship Boxing Manager (Goliath Games)

This is the first boxing management game I've ever seen. It follows the same sort of format as footy management games, but for some reason I found this rather more playable.

X-Out (Rainbow Arts)

All shoot 'em up fans will probably find X-Out a challenge and will get some enjoyment out of it.
