3D Star Strike (Real Time) (Spectrum 48K)

The game is fast and the graphics, based on wire-frame animation, are good and interesting.

3D Lunattack (Hewson) (Commodore 64)

The graphics are not good enough to make a game of this complexity workable.

Moon Cresta (Incentive) (Spectrum 48K)

The program is well done with very fast action and impressive graphics.

Space Shuttle (Activision) (Commodore 64)

The flight simulator to end all flight simulators.

Defend Or Die (Alligata) (Amstrad CPC464)

If there was ever a program that you should buy for your Amstrad then it has to be this one.

Jet Power Jack (Micro Power) (Commodore 64)

The game, though not conspicuously original, is a very good one of its type, and great fun to play.

Smuggler (Superior) (Commodore 64)

If this is your type of game, you may wish to buy it... However, nothing unusual.

Big Ben (Interceptor Micros) (Commodore 64)

An attractive and entertaining game... Worth looking twice at.

Henry's House (English) (Commodore 64)

Using the birth of Prince Harry to sell a computer program is questionable, but the game has sufficient originality to make it a bestseller.

Mutant Monty (Amsoft) (Amstrad CPC464)

Compulsive stuff... I found it difficult to stop playing the game long enough to write this review.

HiSoft Pascal 4T (Amsoft) (Amstrad CPC464)

Experienced programmers looking for another language will find plenty of power in this pricey package.

Apple Pie (CSM) (BBC Model B)

Apple Pie is a fairly original and playable game, and I recommend it unreservedly.

Espionage (Modular Resources) (BBC Model B)

Interesting, but not as enthralling as I had expected. Overpriced, too.

Locomotion (BBC Soft) (BBC/Electron)

I enjoyed the program... A nice sedate game for a change, with not a laser in sight.

Pantry Antics (BBC Soft) (BBC Model B)

The graphical animals are very good but the various bits of crockery that fall off the shelves can only be described as rather boring and even shapeless.

Doctor Who And The Warlord (BBC Soft) (BBC Model B)

It is the flexibility of language combined with a complex plot that are the strengths of the adventure.

BMX Number Jump (Longman) (Commodore 64)

This game has sluggish controls... Failure is high - not desirable in an educational game.

Magazine Bibliography (McHugh Enterprises) (BBC Model B)

The programs are very useful and can save hours of work.

Bridge Player (CP) (Amstrad CPC464)

A boon to the less experienced player is the scoring screen.

Exmon 64 (Interceptor Micros) (Commodore 64/128)

Exmon 64 will enable the user to write machine code programs in a limited way and has a good set of disc maintenance commands.

Pitman Typing Tutor (Amsoft) (Amstrad CPC464)

A thoroughly useful program that can only serve to achieve its objective.

The Jewel Of Power (Slogger) (Spectrum 48K)

The colourful scenes are well-drawn, movement and acceptance of instructions is speedy and the adventure is quite addictive.

Jester (Harlequin) (TI99/4A)

This is probably best suited to the younger player as it lacks the sophistication which older players demand.

Kamikaze (Stainless) (TI99/4A)

Invaders from outer space is hardly the most original theme, but if you still have the appetite for this you'll find it fun.

Dungeons Of Ba (Quicksilva) (Commodore 64)

It's quite challenging and should take a while to complete, but doesn't live up to the extravagant claims on the packaging.

Titan (Tomorrow's Dream) (BBC Model B)

Anyone needing a utility of this kind will be unlikely to do better.
