Ice Hockey (Bug Byte)

I really wonder if Bug-Byte checked Ice Hockey on the Electron. I feel sure the company can't have intended to let such a poor game tarnish its reputation.

Xor (Logotron)

Every Electron owner who wants more than zap and blast should buy this game.

Plan B (Bug Byte)

Bug Byte has given us some very good games for the Electron in the past but this one is a real blockbuster.

Switched Joystick Interface

Providing the program reads the keyboard in the Acorn approved manner, using INKEY or OSBYTE &81, you can use the joystick. For instance, Superior Software's Deathstar and Bug Byte's Plan B work perfectly using a joystick, yet Syncron ignored it and Audiogenic's Last Of The Free wouldn't even load!
