4 Game Pack No. 1 (Atlantis)

4 Game Pack No. 1 may not include the best Speccy games but it's superb value at £3.99. That's under £1 per game - amazing!

Captain Planet

Having a storyline covering green issues is a great idea and, coupled with the slick presentation and graphics, it's a thoroughly enjoyable blast.

Double Dare

As seen on TV, minus the gunge...! The quiz section's a little slow; it's the challenge and assault course sections that make the game appeal to all ages.

The Ellisnore Diamond

A very good game... although at one stage you have to be at the right place at the right time to meet somebody - something I've never found endearing.

G-Loc R360

It's an ambitious game for the Spectrum... Graphically, it's good but the main bugbear is the yawny gameplay.

Jack The Ripper

Well worth buying - the first two parts are great, but the third lets the game down badly.

The Jetsons

Not quite a Crash Smash, but fans of cartoony capers should be onto a winner. The graphics depict the cartoon characters very accurately and could have you in stitches at times.

Jonny Quest In Dr. Zin's Underworld

A nice little platform game with more depth than many.

Potsworth And Co.

Another in the excellent cartoon series from Hanna Barbera... Each level's totally different from the last and the gameplay keeps getting better and better from level to level.

The Shoe People

Educational and fun to play.... lots of brilliant graphics and animation, and even a simple graphic editor for the kids to have a bash at drawing themselves!

Space Crusade

An awesome game whether or not you're a fan of role-playing games... The amount of stuff packed in is quite incredible for the Spectrum.
