Starquake (Bubble Bus) (Spectrum 48K)

Don't miss out on this, rush out and beg, borrow or steal a copy now!

Chop Suey (English) (Atari 400/800/600XL/800XL/130XE)

A good game for Atari readers to get their teeth into.

Monty On The Run (Gremlin Graphics) (Spectrum 48K)

If you're a climbing game fanatic then this is the game you should get - it's what Jet Set Willy II should have been.

Speed King (Mastertronic) (Commodore 64/128)

Speed King is well presented and fun to play. Recommended.

Highway Encounter (Vortex) (Spectrum 48K)

A terrific mixture of action and strategy - with neat wall animated graphics and sound.

Beach Head (U. S. Gold) (Amstrad CPC464)

A skilful and challenging outlet here for all that pent-up aggression.

Project Future (Gremlin Graphics) (Amstrad CPC464)

A vast five-deck space ship, covering 256 screens.

Rescue On Fractalus (Activision) (Commodore 64/128)

If you've got an Atari, get this game, if you're a Commodore owner - well, play your friend's copy before making up your mind.

Barry McGuigan World Boxing Championship (Activision) (Commodore 64/128)

Quite simply an excellent game.

Schizofrenia (Quicksilva) (Commodore 64)

This game is very difficult to play.

Paradroid (Hewson Consultants) (Commodore 64/128)

Paradroid will keep zappers and thinkers happy - an unusual combination. One of the best C64 games out right now.

Karateka (Ariolasoft) (Commodore 64)

If you're still making up your mind whether to buy a martial arts game, it's certainly worthwhile considering Karateka.

Nightshade (Ultimate) (Spectrum 48K)

Another instant classic from Ultimate - it'll keep you guessing for some time.

Blackwyche (Ultimate) (Commodore 64)

Blackwyche is miles better than Entombed. You'll go ape over it!

Daley Thompson's Super Test (Ocean) (Spectrum 48K/128K)

A fine sequel to Decathlon... It'll wreck many more joysticks!

Match Day (Ocean) (BBC Model B)

Football games always seem popular and Match Day should do well for Ocean.

Marsport (Gargoyle Games) (Spectrum 48K)

Quite simply a great game. It's very clever and I loved the way the locker doors slid open as you approached.

Astroclone (Hewson Consultants) (Spectrum 48K)

Astro-Clone is great fun, great value and a great challenge. The graphics are terrific - especially the explosions!

On The Run (Design Design) (Spectrum 48K)

The graphics on both Amstrad and Spectrum versions are excellent - and the game is extremely playable.

Fighting Warrior (Melbourne House) (Spectrum 48K)

An action adventure packed with surprises - a worthy successor to Fist.

Wizard's Lair (Bubble Bus) (Amstrad CPC464)

Obviously, Wizard's Lair is heavily influenced by Ultimate's Atic Atac. But that's more a comment on its excellent rather than a complaint.

The Rats (Hodder & Stoughton) (Spectrum 48K)

A novel and entertaining game... However, it takes a little experimentation and practice to get the hang of playing it, and to understand what is going on.

Project X: The Micro Man (Compass) (Spectrum 48K/128K)

Project X: The Micro Man is a game I can recommend to all. For its low price, it's a must!

A Tangled Web (Pocket Money) (Spectrum 48K/128K)

OK, it's only 99p. But it's just a collection of riddles, and, no matter how cheap a game is, it must hold some interest.

The Avaunting (Ixion) (BBC Model B)

Not a bad adventure... Short text descriptions... Locations abound and the problems build up as more and more objects are discovered.

Robin Of Sherwood (Adventure International) (Acorn Electron)

A competent and clean adventure game.

Time Search (Millenium) (Spectrum 48K)

Personally, I found Time Search so poor that to describe it as mediocre would be to overrate it. It failed to hold my interest at all.

Writing Games On The Amstrad CPC464/664 (Melbourne House)

If you are interested in writing an adventure game on your Amstrad then you will enjoy this book - and probably learn a great deal from it.

The Secret Of St. Brides (St. Bride's School) (Spectrum 48K/128K)

Lovely idea, not too sure about the game!
