Model B Odysseys (BBC Model B)

An interesting adventure with enough puzzles to keep those brain cells ticking away.

Deathchase (Spectrum 16K)

The graphics have been simplified to keep the game at breakneck speed... I for one would rather have the extra speed of operation.

Fighter Pilot (Spectrum 48K)

We're not at the fully-functioning dogfight yet, but it's still a pretty effective piece of work.

Pole Position (Atari 400/800/600XL/800XL/130XE)

Takes the lead as the best Atari race game around.

Airstrike 2 (Atari 400/800/XL)

The caverns are filled with defence systems, making the game possibly the toughest and most varied version of this classic to date.

Graphic Art For The Electron Computer (Acorn Electron)

Each idea introduced is built up in subsequent chapters, giving a thorough and practical grounding in turtle graphics.

Winning Games On The Vic 20 (Commodore Vic 20)

This is good value - which is more than can be said for most books of this type - and the listings are full-size dumps to a printer.

A Pocket Handbook For The Vic (Commodore Vic 20)

Although there's a degree of useful information, it's largely documented elsewhere. So, on the whole, I'd give this one a miss.
