Magazine Reviews (45)

Linked reviews are available to view in full on this site.

Dimension Destructors (Spectrum 48K)

Realistic, perspective graphics which make for an exciting space romp.

Sheer Panic (Spectrum 16K)

Sheer Panic is as good as any of the other 57 varieties around, though if the graphics matched the cassette cover it would be a winner.

C64 Heroic Quests (Commodore 64)

Pettigrew's Diary (Dragon 32)

The best adventure game for the Dragon on the market that I've seen.

Micropoly (Dragon 32)

I prefer the real board game. Unfortunately, the Dragon will buy whatever it lands on and no amount of coaxing will persuade it to sell or swap.

Tim Hartnell's Giant Book Of Computer Games (Generic (8-Bit))

The chess listing gets a lot of prominence, but if you're tempted to buy the book only because of this, don't. It plays an awful, illegal game and bears no resemblance to how commercial chess programs are written.

CP/M - The Software Bus (European Machines)

A small, but very readable book... and the only one which explains (in English) how to use real systems-programming tools, like linkers and relocating assemblers.

How To Maintain And Service Your Small Computer (European Machines)

This book is particularly useful to someone who wants to learn about the insides of micros, and how to analyse and solve problems.

The Academic Apple (Apple (Generic))

Unbelievable... The examples of Basic programming are frankly atrocious, the jobs are unimaginative... and have GOTOs all over the place, jumping to REMark statements and so on!
