Vu-File (Psion) (Spectrum 16K/48K)

This machine-coded program gives a rapid response to all facilities.

Music Maker (Bellflower) (Spectrum 48K)

The three main potential uses for this program - composing, replaying tunes and producing manuscript - are all spoilt by the problems - a great pity.

Synthesiser (Worm) (BBC Model B)

An instruction and information menu is provided which gives comprehensive details on how to use the game.

Toolkit/Screenkit (Remsoft) (Jupiter Ace)

Screenkit consists of a set of machine code routines for screen handling - left and right scrolls with and without wraparound, plus up and down.

Protector (Quicksilva) (BBC Model B)

Well error-trapped and apparently bug-free... All in all a good, solid, enjoyable game.

City Defence (Shards) (Dragon 32)

You get what you pay for - not arcade standard but good of its kind.

The Wizard (Quicksilva) (BBC Model B)

A little too simple to have lasting appeal - especially for arcade-hardened addicts.

Fun And Games (Shards) (Dragon 32)

A well-thought-out compendium.

Family Programs (Shards) (Dragon 32)

All in all, a nice collection which succeeded in interesting all members of the family, neatly packaged with loading details.

Arcadia (Imagine) (Commodore Vic 20)

If you like arcade games, buy Arcadia, you won't be disappointed.

Schizoids (Imagine) (Spectrum 16K)

You don't score points at all in Schizoids - you simply exist. The whole game can be reduced to just steering the craft around and staying out of trouble.

Mined Out (Quicksilva) (Dragon 32)

There seems to be a great disparity between the packaging and the visual product... I must confess I was disappointed.
