750cc Grand Prix (Codemasters)

A great bike racing game that gives the genre a new twist - literally.

Back To The Future 3 (Imageworks)

It’s a pity it’s taken until the last film to get a decent Back To The Future game.

Battle Command (Ocean)

Presentation is fab, with lots of easily-understood option screens, heaped with colourful graphics to go through.

CJ's Elephant Antics (Codemasters)

A great arcade romp packed with great graphics and addictive gameplay.

Crete 1941 (Cases)

The combat irregularity spoiled an otherwise enjoyable wargame.

Dick Tracy (Titus)

The Dick Tracy sprite is recognisable, but killing the gangsters is a piece of cake. Okay, at the start you only have fists for defence, but when a gun is in your possession it's simplicity itself to finish the game.

E-SWAT (US Gold)

A game I strongly advise you stay away from. US Gold can do a lot better than this.

F-16 Combat Pilot (Digital Integration)

Flight sims never work that well on the Spectrum, but Digital Integration have packed a hell of a lot in and have done a first class job.

Full Throttle 2 (Zeppelin Games)

Full Throttle 2 is an average bike simulation, and no better than the first.

The Light Corridor (Infogrames)

Both fun to play and fun to mess around with in the editor mode.

The Reaper (Ubisoft)

The game begins with a fairly decent title tune, but the whole thing slides rapidly downhill when the small stickman sprites appear on screen.

Star Control (Accolade)

People with brains will have a field day, so if you want a game that you have to sit down and think about, Star Control could be just your cup of tea.

Switchblade (Gremlin)

I'm totally addicted! It's a fun game with plenty to keep you busy.

Total Recall (Ocean)

The game is so playable, you're lucky I managed to tear myself away to write this comment!

Sphera (Enigma Variations)

A blast-'em-up for well 'ard joystick junkies only!
