Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (Buena Vista) (Amiga 500)

What's there is good, and is bound to appeal to fans of the film, but in the end I was left with the distinct impression that Buena haven't fully capitalised on this golden opportunity.

TV Sports Football (Mirrorsoft) (Amiga 500)

The most entertaining, accurate and engrossing sports simulation I've ever experienced.

Spitting Image (Domark) (Spectrum 48K)

It's a shame there isn't just a little more in it, because the brilliant humour and many neat touches are wasted on the very weak gameplay.

The Munsters (Alternative) (Spectrum 48K)

Not good. The standard of programming almost reaches average, but there seems to have been very little thought put into the game design.

Victory Road (Imagine) (Spectrum 48K/128K)

There are a few novelties to lift Victory Road above the standard Ikari Warriors clone, but it still doesn't beat the original.

Baal (Psyclapse) (Amiga 500)

An addictive and action-packed exploration game. Buy it.

Serve And Volley (Accolade) (Commodore 64)

I thoroughly enjoyed Serve And Volley. Accolade have thought of everything.

4 Soccer Simulators (Codemasters) (Commodore 64)

Basically a package of four sub-standard games. The response is far too sluggish for a fast action football game.

Pioneer Plague (Mandarin) (Amiga 500)

Manhattan Dealers (Broderbund) (Amiga 500)

It's not the greatest game of its type but if you're a fan of digitised violence, it's probably worth a quick look.

A Question Of Sport (Elite) (Spectrum 48K)

A dead simple quiz game... It doesn't have any bells or whistles to speak of but it's really playable though. You'll find yourself having just one more go...

The Deep (U. S. Gold) (Spectrum 48K)

The gameplay is fun and kept me amused for a couple of hours, but I can see its appeal waning considerably in the long term. There just isn't enough variety to sustain interest.

Last Duel (U. S. Gold) (Spectrum 48K)

A reasonable game... The sprites are quite smoothly animated, but the collision detection is a little on the stingy side.

LED Storm (Go!) (Spectrum 48K/128K)

As a full-price game, L.E.D. Storm just doesn't make the grade.

Batman (Ocean) (Spectrum 48K)

Quite a fun game but, to my mind, not nearly as good as the first one.

G.I. Hero (Firebird) (Spectrum 48K/128K)

The GI's walk is far too slow and looks far too passive... There's no variation, hardly any sound and it's all too frustrating to enjoy.

Hyper Drome (Exocet) (Atari ST)

An ugly, ear-scraping, slow and boring shoot-'em-up, without so much as one notable feature.

Fast Break (Electronic Arts) (Commodore 64)

Not a terrible game, but hardly an advancement in the world of sports sims.

Cosmic Pirate (Outlaw) (Amiga 500)

Every tiny detail of this package is well considered and beautifully executed.

Tiger Road (Go!) (Spectrum 48K/128K)

Midnight Warrior (Wilsher) (Atari ST)

The local descriptions are well written, if scattered with a few minor spelling errors.

The Beast (Marlin Games) (Spectrum 128K)

If you like a good old fashioned mystery-thriller with plenty of detail, this biggish adventure should be just up your street.

Devil's Hand (Compass) (Spectrum 48K/128K)

Home grown and Quilled this adventure might be, but it plays a lot better than many tape adventures in a higher price range.

Dream Zone (Baudville) (Amiga 500)

Every now and then, just when adventures seem to have settled down into a bit of a rut, along comes something completely new and off-beat, like a breath of fresh air. Dream Zone is one of those games.

Great Golf (Sega) (Sega Master System (EU Version))

A pretty good game of golf... Certainly one which should please the armchair Ballesteroses out there.

Great Football (Sega) (Sega Master System (EU Version))

Fun and challenging - especially in two-player mode - and the wealth of moves and plays available should keep the American football enthusiast happy.

Rad Racer (Nintendo) (Nintendo (US Version))

If you're after a fast, exhilarating and challenging race game, look no further than Rad Racer.

Freedom: Rebels In The Darkness (Coktel Vision) (Amiga 500)

I tried to like this game, as the concept, music and storyline were all good, however the graphics, role-playing element and actual game design are sadly lacking.
