Rainbow (Softi) (TI99/4A)

There was a problem on my TV in trying to distinguish the colours of smaller items.

Clever Clogs - History Mystery (Argus Press) (Spectrum 48K)

Excellently drawn maps of the Middle East, Israel and Jerusalem... a well produced game which will amuse and educate.

Tiny Code Development System (Amazing Games) (Spectrum 48K)

A cheap introduction to machine code, but it won't save you from buying the introductory course, assembler and monitor which are essential if you are serious about learning it.

Games Creator (Mirrorsoft) (Commodore 64)

This program won't turn you into Jeff Minter but it's great fun to use and well worth a close look.

Finance Manager (Oxford Computer Publishing) (Spectrum 48K)

In my opinion value for money, and could pay for itself in certain circumstances.

Robin Hood (Stainless) (TI99/4A)

A difficult and frustrating game; ten misses, each losing you five points, result in Robin's untimely demise.

The Crystal Frog (Kerian) (Spectrum 48K/128K)

Objects did not appear easily. A slightly boring, non-addictive game.

Peter Pan (Hodder & Stoughton) (Spectrum 48K/128K)

If you are an adventure game freak, the classic battle between Peter Pan and Captain Hook should enthrall you.

Castle Of Gems (MRM) (BBC Model B)

Plenty of colour, speed and sound effects give a well polished feel to the whole thing.

Kentilla (Micromega) (Spectrum 48K)

Very nicely executed, but prefaced with Micromega's new anti-pirate loader which appears to be rather slow.

Battlezone (Quicksilva) (Spectrum 48K)

Too long a delay between shots... Not one of my favourite games.

Motorcycle Crazy (Kerian) (Spectrum 48K/128K)

Although not up to present standards, Motorcycle Crazy is quite addictive and enjoyable.

Millionaire (Incentive) (BBC/Electron)

What I particularly like about this game is that Incentive have redefined the text; this gives the program a touch of quality.

Zombie Zombie (Quicksilva) (Spectrum 48K)

After seeing many games with superb graphics animation, I got the impression that this was a small child's version.

Spaceman Sid (English) (BBC Model B)

The game is not easily mastered and it will, at first, seem impossible to make some of the jumps, but that surely gives value for money.

Death Star Interceptor (System 3) (Commodore 64)

Bugs were encountered from time to lime which added a different, but not very original, dimension to it.

Braxx Bluff (Micromega) (Spectrum 48K)

Graphics, sound and player facilities are all of extra quality here. It's really quite outstanding, with an intriguing plot.

Intravoid (Delta 4) (Spectrum 48K/128K)

The one good idea here is the use of enlarged computer style character set.

Dark Star (Design Design) (Spectrum 48K)

Lots of extras are included in a very professional program.

Spaceman Sid (English) (Acorn Electron)

It's not a game to go over the top about, nevertheless an enjoyable one.
