Donald Duck's Playground (US Gold) (Commodore 64)

As an educational package this one is difficult to beat because it demands the combination of so many skills on the part of the player.

The Professional Touch: Magic (Macmillan) (Spectrum 48K)

This educational package is very well produced with smooth scrolling graphics, decent error trapping, and, would you believe, the built-in facility to save the lot to Microdrive!

Arnhem (Cases) (Amstrad CPC464)

The Spectrum version was brilliant, so with the superior clarity of the Amstrad, you can't go wrong.

Banana Man/Secret Sam 1 (Blue Ribbon) (BBC Model B)

This cassette could represent the best investment you'll ever make - buy it!

Traffic (Amsoft) (Amstrad CPC464)

All in all a compulsive and enjoyable game. Thoroughly recommended.

Villain (Interceptor Micros) (Commodore Vic 20)

This is the most challenging Vic 20 game I've met in a long time.

V-Notch (Transform) (Spectrum 48K)

I think it is going to be too limited for many people - you can't use it for filing addresses or anything like that.

Chemistry (Letts) (BBC/Electron)

This package would definitely be of benefit to the 'O' level student.

3D Stunt Rider (Amsoft) (Amstrad CPC464)

A nice game with good graphics but lacking the options and challenge to make it playable for more than a couple of hours.

Woodbury End (Shards) (BBC/Electron)

Woodbury End has an inability to recognise even its own limited vocabulary.

Talos (Silversoft) (Spectrum 48K)

Although similar to Atic Atac, Talos is more than just another clone, and makes for an interesting and enthralling game.

Hypersports (Imagine) (Commodore 64/128)

The games are varied in their approach and each one tests a different range of skills.

Barry McGuigan World Championship Boxing (Activision) (Commodore 64/128)

As a simulation of boxing this is about as close as you'll get to the real thing.

The Way Of The Exploding Fist (Melbourne House) (Amstrad CPC464)

A vastly entertaining game that should make it to the top of the Amstrad charts.

Adventure Pack (Microdeal) (Enterprise)

Three adventures for under seven quid seems like excellent value. However looks can be deceptive.

Orm And Cheep: Narrow Squeaks (Macmillan) (Commodore 64)

Most of the games are fairly difficult to master... Success is rewarded by a score sheet which reveals a section of a picture.
