Colossus Chess 2.0 (CDS) (Commodore 64)

The real strength of the game is the huge range of options.

Pub Quest (Dream) (Commodore 64)

Be prepared for the program to play some jokes on you... I will not say anything else except that you get what you deserve.

Space Pilot (Anirog) (Commodore 64)

Space Pilot is a good game which loads well - it only took 80 seconds.

Squirm (Mastertronic) (Commodore 64)

The pace was just fast enough to achieve a credible score which might be beaten next time round.

Jungle Story (Mastertronic) (Commodore 64)

This is not a game I can recommend although the idea is quite good.

Sub Hunt (Mastertronic) (Commodore 64)

The screen graphics are not outstanding and the game is short on instructions.

Duck Shoot (Mastertronic) (Commodore 64)

The game did not hold my interest for long, partly because there were too many bullet-eating ducks.

Cuthbert In Space (Microdeal) (Commodore 64)

Sound and graphics just manage the "good" rating in my books.

Attack On Windscale (Phoenix) (Commodore 64)

I would recommend it to anyone who does not like 'trial and error' adventures and has a friend who is good at fast arcade games.

Turtle Jump (Romik) (Commodore 64)

A nicely written average game, whose strength is the unusual plot.

Nifty Lifty (Visions) (BBC Model A & B)

Fantastic... I'm sure Visions will soon get its name associated with some of the finest software made for the BBC.

Pengi (Visions) (BBC Model B)

The best version of Pengo currently available for the BBC Micro... The added extras and features give this game a really professional finish.

Pengon (Microdeal) (Atari 400/800/600XL/800XL/130XE)

A fast action game with a lot of fun!

Beam Rider (Microdeal) (Dragon 32)

The screen display is good... I thoroughly enjoyed this game.

Gravitor (Oric 1/Atmos) (Oric 48K/Atmos)

A challenge for those brave enough to accept it.

Look Sharp (Mirrorsoft) (Spectrum 48K)

Both graphics and sound are superb, no review could do them justice.

Words And Letters (Webco) (Spectrum 48K)

Not only will this program not run properly, it is educationally, grammatically and linguistically unsound.

Words And Pictures (Chalksoft) (BBC Model B)

Very comprehensive... My only criticism is that the words don't apply to any particular reading scheme.

Words, Words, Words (Dragon Data) (Dragon 32)

The program is graphically excellent, using, in some cases, six or seven colours on the supposedly four colour screen.

Biology (Scisoft) (Spectrum 48K)

An excellent suite of programs.

Cuthbert In Space (Microdeal) (Dragon 32)

Good graphics... Despite my poor result, I did enjoy playing the game.

Lone Raider (Severn) (Oric 48K)

This game needs a lot of practice, but it is addictive and should appeal to all games players whatever their ability.

Space Joust (Software Projects) (Commodore Vic 20)

Whilst it's not my cup of tea, I am quite sure that many lovers of alien destruction will enjoy it.

Arena 3000 (Microdeal) (Oric 48K/Atmos)

Although quite simple, I think this is a well-constructed game.

Cuthbert Goes Walkabout (Microdeal) (Atari 400/800/600XL/800XL/130XE)

A rather repetitive tune accompanies what is a reasonably good game.

Machine Code For Beginners (Dream) (Spectrum 16K/48K)

First class for the student or enthusiast. Even though this is a simulation, the mnemonics are very like those of the Z80.

BBC Basic & BBC Advanced Basic Courses (Honeyfold) (BBC Model B)

These are not the best books I have seen for the learner, I'm afraid.

Logo Graphics Interpreter (Kuma) (Spectrum 48K)

A bit pricey for limited usefulness.

Supercode 1 (CP Software) (Spectrum 16K/48K)

If you are prepared to work hard with it, Supercode will help you achieve professional standards with no knowledge of machine code.

BBC/Electron Assembly Language Courses (Honeyfold) (Acorn Electron)

The tape contains useful but not remarkable utility programs.
