Magazine Reviews (15)
Linked reviews are available to view in full on this site.
A pleasure to play... Nice use of colour and sound, and good animation throughout.
Gateway To Karos (BBC Model B)
Not in the same league as Acornsoft's earlier and superb Philosopher's Quest or Castle of Riddles. It fails to grab one's interest from the beginning.
Graphics are good... Scrolling is impressive... Not an easy game... Certainly worth a look.
Gems Of Stradus (Amstrad CPC464)
Worth looking at until some more advanced graphic adventures come along for the Amstrad 464.
The graphics are not particularly stunning, but the screen does scroll round smoothly while the enemy ships zip about.
The lava pools are just too small to be spotted when your eyes are busy on other parts of the screen.
Joystick response is sluggish at times... The action in the scenes is rather similar; leap from ledge to ledge, branch to branch or whatever - all variations on the platform theme.
While it's not original, Jet Power Jack runs a nice line in humour and, despite its simple controls, proves to be an entertaining and addictive game.
Giant's Revenge (Spectrum 48K)
The backdrop graphics are the best feature in what is otherwise a pretty ordinary and awkward game.
Very repetitive... You'll soon get sick of collecting one sweet after the other.
Suicide Express (Commodore 64)
The detail is nothing short of superb... Trees, derelict buildings and mazes hurtle past.
