The Cycles (Accolade)

A mediocre simulation of a nail-biting sport, not suited to the 8-bit capabilities.

Defenders Of The Earth (Enigma Variations)

Defenders of the Earth will keep fans of the cartoon happy awhile, but they'll soon be looking elsewhere for more playability.

Escape From The Planet Of The Robot Monsters (Domark)

This is just like stepping into a cartoon strip...! The game is action packed with robots attacking and unexpected things happening on each screen.

Future Bike Simulator (Hi-Tec)

A simple race game. It's good fun but I doubt it will keep you hooked for long.

Hooray For Henrietta (Scetlander)

The graphics are basic, but are a welcome addition, brightening up a usually hated subject.

International 3D Tennis (Pacific)

If you're after a real tennis simulator, this is the best to get!

Italy 1990 (US Gold)

This is a smart product - a neat game and a brilliant 68 page booklet which brings the atmosphere of the season into your home!

Little Puff In Dragon Land (Cartoon Time)

Good arcade adventure games like this used to be seen everywhere. Now they're more scarce. So when a game like this comes along you just have to get it!

Midnight Resistance (Ocean)

Graphics are very impressive indeed, all sprites and backgrounds beautifully detailed, and the difficulty level is set just on the right side of frustrating. Highly recommended.

Sly Spy (Ocean)

Sly Spy: Secret Agent is set to be one of the best games of 1990.

Stormlord II: Deliverance (Hewson)

Another masterpiece of programming from Raff Cecco and Hewson which should keep you playing for ages!

Vendetta (System 3)

It's all a a joy to play and, boasting many of the most successful elements a game can have, it should be a smash hit.

World Cup Soccer '90 (Virgin Games)

A good basic football game. The graphics have a digitised feel to them, but I don't think they are.

Yogi's Great Escape (Hi-Tec)

A fun, addictive game. Take control of one of your favourite cartoon characters and have a great time.
