Megawarz (Paramount) (Commodore 64)

Exciting and addictive... The sound and music are well-chosen, the graphics excellent.

Midnight Express (Camilla) (Commodore 64)

Graphically the game is nice but not outstanding.

Mind Control (ACE) (Commodore 64)

This won't interest anyone for more than five minutes.

Pigs In Space (ACE) (Commodore 64)

No title screen, poor use of sound, chunky graphics and loading difficulties.

Outback (Paramount) (Commodore 64)

The plaintive squeal of captured roos, swagmen diving satisfyingly headfirst to death, text comments; all make it a joy to play.

Jungle Jive (Virgin) (BBC/Electron)

The game suffers very badly from lack of movement... After playing a couple of times it becomes monotonous.

Three Circles/Number Search (Computer Games) (Sord M5)

All the other double cassettes are fairly good but these are two trivial games which don't exploit the capability of the M5 to any extent... Honestly cannot recommend this.

Bankroll (Stainless) (TI99/4A)

You need to be a financial wizard to appreciate all the factors affecting capital and investments, but even if you aren't, it's still fun to play.

Pedes And Mutants (Romik) (Commodore Vic 20)

This game is a veritable confusion of objects on the screen... I would not bother to play it again.

Sorcerer's Apprentice (Phoenix) (Commodore 64)

Has lots of problems to solve and soon makes the brain hurt.

Vegetable Crash (Kuma) (Spectrum 48K)

Fair, but not brilliant. There needs to be more than one good idea in a game - in this case seed-squirting vegetables - for it to catch on.

Millionaire (Incentive) (Spectrum 48K)

Well presented and very addictive, offering excellent value for money.

3D Lunattack (Hewson) (Spectrum 48K)

An excellent program... I spent a long time plummeting to the ground before I even saw the base... I have yet to destroy it.

Zigzag (Dk'tronics) (Spectrum 48K)

It's a boring game, even if the graphics are nice.

Ad Astra (Gargoyle Games) (Spectrum 48K)

I would advise anyone wishing to buy this game to ask for a demonstration first.

Battletank (Superior) (BBC Model B)

Reasonable overall... The graphics are good and the game is testing.

Positron (Micro Power) (BBC Model B)

Nice attention to detail makes this game a very good one.

Boris In The Underworld (Superior) (BBC Model B)

In the later stages, the fiery walls which close in around you make the game almost impossible.

Overdrive (Superior) (BBC Model B)

A very drab game from a software company of whom we have come to expect more.

Digger (Visions) (BBC Model B)

The keyboard response is sometimes terrible: I often had to press a key twice before I could make my man move.

Dragon Cruncher (Elkan Electronics) (Dragon 32/64 or Tandy Color 32/64)

A simple and effective utility that may prove a saviour for the Tandy owner who feels increasingly isolated.

Minitext (Microplot) (Dragon 32/64)

If you accidentally press Enter (easy to do) during program editing, real problems can result.

Editor/Reseq & Renum (Microplot) (Dragon 32/64)

I cannot really see why anyone would buy the subset tape unless they need the extra memory it leaves (just over 1K).

Autochar File (Unknown) (TI99/4A)

Invaluable to the programmer as a great effort- and time-saving device.

Music Synthesizer (Stainless) (TI99/4A)

A very useful utility for someone who wants to produce a melody but doesn't want the chore of having to learn music in any depth.
