Linked reviews are available to view in full on this site.
One Hundred And Eighty (A 'n F) (BBC Model B)
All scoring is done automatically, and the two players are depicted as matchstick men who sit down and stand up as required.
Racing Manager (Virgin Games) (Spectrum 48K)
A game that will appeal, not only to racing nuts, but to the whole family.
Go For Broke (Omega) (Dragon 32)
This game grows on you, but I miss handling the real, imitation money that was a feature of the original.
Chess (Dragon Data) (Dragon 32)
You can make the computer play itself, then you can interrupt and start playing yourself.
Pirate Island (Andromeda) (TI99/4A)
To make the game more than a straight race, there is a computer controlled ship, the attack capabilities of which are determined by skill level.
Crusader (J. Morrison Micros) (Dragon 32)
I could not get beyond this level despite determined efforts... The display goes into idle if you fail to initiate the next game.
Lunar Jetman (Ultimate) (Spectrum 48K)
An arcade game with adventure elements, it will take... a long time to master, and... the high score chart will ensure continued interest.
Hungry Horace (Melbourne House) (Commodore 64)
I didn't much enjoy playing Hungry Horace... I don't feel that the graphics or the sound really use the Commodore 64's capabilities to the full.
The Quill (Gilsoft) (Spectrum 48K)
Gilsoft allow for commercial use by only holding copyright on the editor and manual.
A joy to review. The assembler occupies the location also used by the hi-res screen, but if this mode is called, the Toolkit and Monitor remain intact.
Music Maker (Bellflower) (Spectrum 48K)
If you are a computer freak who wants to see the sound capability of the Spectrum explored, then you will have to get to grips with the notation before this program is of value.
Microprint 42/51 (Myrmidon) (Spectrum 16K/48K)
You cannot use Microprint in any commercial program without "prior agreement". If that means "share of royalties", the usefulness of an excellent program is sadly limited.
Save-A-Sketch (Stainless) (TI99/4A)
This is not a fast program because of the restrictions of TI Basic, but nevertheless with patience a satisfying image can be produced.
Admiral Graf Spee (Temptation) (Sinclair ZX81)
Very little time was allowed for keying in an instruction, and the response to the keys seemed poor.
Gran Pree (Andromeda) (TI99/4A)
Too slow for my liking... I soon became frustrated and bored, whether playing solely against the computer or with another player.
Chequered Flag (Sinclair Research) (Spectrum 48K)
Chequered Flag is an excellent game, well put together and very exciting.
Super Dogfight (Terminal) (Commodore 64)
Grossly overpriced for what is basically a revamp of an old idea... There is much better value on the market than this.
Harrier Attack (Durell) (Spectrum 48K)
Nice insert, clear, concise instructions, good screen presentation, first class graphics, colour and sound and a hall of fame for the highest scores.
It's far more tricky to outwit your opponent by blocking him off as well as race against him to obtain the highest score.
Cybertanks (Star Dreams) (Spectrum 48K)
This game will probably give a deal of pleasure... but I feel that it would be a lot more enjoyable with the addition of different skill levels.
Snail Trail (RH Electronics) (BBC Model B)
A poor game, even at the price. BBC owners have come to expect something better than this.
Mined Out (Quicksilva) (Acorn Electron)
The first few mazes are easy but then a little bug starts to follow you, forcing you to go faster and make mistakes - and get blown up.
The Temple Of Zoren (Dungeon) (Dragon 32)
The adventure is supposed to be easier than The Crystal Chalice... There's certainly more chance to explore the locations without fear of coming to grief.
The Chalice Of Quorom (Dungeon) (Dragon 32)
The adventure is quite large and definitely complex, although the save routine is buggy.
Pettigrew's Diary (Shards) (Dragon 32)
The chapters are independent, but you can only progress by completing the earlier ones.
Tombs Of Xeiops (Romik) (Commodore 64)
If you like text adventures, then this is worth considering.
