Bug Eyes (Icon) (Acorn Electron)

A colourful, enjoyable, addictive arcade adventure game that all games people should own.

Maxam (Arnor Ltd) (Amstrad CPC464)

This is definitely the best editor/assembler for the Amstrad - I can highly recommend it.

Spitfire '40 (Mirrorsoft) (Commodore 64)

A bargain at any price... During combat practice I soon discovered how to avoid attackers but found that hitting them was very difficult.

The Hacker (Firebird) (Acorn Electron)

One interesting feature allows a player to preview and try each of the 12 screens.

Island Of Xaan (Robico) (BBC B/B+/Master 128)

The instructions are short, but they only spoil the fun anyway, and everything you need is explained whilst the program loads.

Masterfile 464 (Amsoft) (Amstrad CPC464)

If time is money, and you want to use your Amstrad with an easily interrogated database, Masterfile 464 is the package for you.

Interdictor Pilot (Supersoft) (Amstrad CPC464)

Fastidious attention to detail in this well-written program will provide eons of entertainment for armchair astronauts.

Survivor (Anirog) (Amstrad CPC464)

The chunky graphics leave a lot to be desired... But the bug makes it a waste of money at any price.

Tir Na Nog (Gargoyle) (Commodore 64)

A highly testing game which is a delight to play.

Assembler Monitor 64 (First Publishing) (Commodore 64)

Worth serious consideration... In terms of power, this package is comparable to others but costs less.

Everyone's A Wally (Mikro-Gen) (Spectrum 48K)

There's an awful lot to keep you quiet... Animation, sound and graphics are outstanding.

Frankenstein 2000 (Icon) (BBC Model B)

An interesting game initially, with well-designed graphics, but it fails to sustain that interest.

Myrddin Flight Simulator (Myrddin) (Amstrad CPC464)

Though not to be confused with serious aeronautics, this program is a lot of fun and will keep you at it for hours.

Brawn Free! (Nemesis) (Amstrad CPC464)

Probably not for the adventure nuts, but an amusing starter at an amazing price.
