Projector 1 (McGraw-Hill) (Spectrum 48K)

Reasonable value when the amount of real work it will do is taken into account.

Turbo 64 (Limbic Systems) (Commodore 64)

Not a bad game, and quite challenging.

Number Painter (ASK) (BBC Model B)

Instructions are first class... The cassette is packaged in a strong box.

Where? (Micro Power) (Acorn Electron)

After you have been playing for a while you suddenly find there are places, rivers and peaks you have never heard of.

Doodle (Quicksilva) (Commodore 64)

Cheaper than most of the opposition... Represents excellent value for money.

Worlds At War: Chapters 1, 2 And 3 (Esteem More Than Equal) (Spectrum 48K)

Very inventive screens in a unique sci-fi mock gothic style, complete with 3D.

Skyline Attack (Century) (Commodore 64)

Fast and furious in a Minter-kind of way, which is a shame since you don't see all the graphics.

Empire (Shards) (Commodore 64)

The game lends itself to a certain amount of strategic planning... Not a bad attempt at simple war gaming.

Rubble Trouble (Micro Power) (Acorn Electron)

Lots of original features, smooth graphics and excellent sound.

Volcano: The Action Game (Computer Magic) (Spectrum 48K)

In comparison with its own claims, and indeed the same concept in other hands, this is very disappointing.

Galilee (Shards) (Spectrum 48K)

A refreshing change... The program could well find application as an educational aid in religious instruction classes.

Chartbuster (Alligata) (Commodore 64)

Overall, an interesting assortment which, at £2 a game, compares very well with the budget game sellers.

Return To Eden (Level 9) (Commodore 64)

Excellent value which, in my view, is unsurpassed by any other software house in this country.

Cave Fighter (Bubblebus) (Commodore 64)

A fair game but no better than average. I became bored after the first five caves and think that there is better on the market.

The Pettigrew Chronicles (Shards) (Spectrum 48K/128K)

A mixture of puzzles, games and text adventure... represents good value for money.

Stock Car (Micro Power) (Acorn Electron)

The control keys are logically selected - an ideal game for the young at heart.

Summer Games (Quicksilva) (Commodore 64)

Streets ahead of the others in graphics, animation, realism and originality.

Ghouls (Micro Power) (Amstrad CPC464)

Animation is excellent and even the animated high score chart is worthy of praise.

Pac Mania (Mr. Chip) (Commodore 64)

Graphically the game is as good as the arcade original with all the animation and colour features.

Swag (Micro Power) (Acorn Electron)

A complex game that takes some getting used to but which can be great fun if you have an opponent.

Can You Count? (Mellowsoft) (Oric 1/Oric Atmos)

Meticulous attention to detail, three-part harmony music, important small details... A very professional program.

Can You Spell? (Mellowsoft) (Oric 1/Oric Atmos)

The quality of graphics and tunes played are superb and should help to keep the wandering attention of a young child.

Junior Maths Pack (Micro Power) (Acorn Electron)

All the programs are basic but adequate.

French On The Run (Silversoft) (BBC/Electron)

The whole story is quite well though out... Questions are interesting but not silly.

European Knowledge (Micro Power) (Acorn Electron)

The variety is one of the notable features of this game and tends to make it much less boring.
