Hunchback II: Quasimodo's Revenge (Commodore 64)

An excellent display of programming skill, but it should have been tougher and generally zappier all round.

3D Grand Prix (BBC Model B)

There are one or two inconsistencies in the program, but 3D Grand Prix is a lot of fun.

Sky Ranger (Spectrum 48K)

The graphics are good, but not brilliant, and the idea is not particularly original or demanding enough to make you come back to the game.

The Perils Of Percival Penguin (BBC Model B)

Everything about The Perils Of Percival Penguin is up to scratch, and yet I didn't really enjoy playing it.

Catacombs (Commodore 64)

Catacombs is nothing like a good adventure. Almost everything I tried was met with immensely helpful "That's no good".

Zany Kong Junior (Acorn Electron)

Good fun, well animated, but a trifle too tough.

Knight Lore (Spectrum 48K)

Never mind a Christmas pud this year, just buy a copy of Knight Lore and you'll keep the whole family quiet for days I promise you.

In A BBC Con-text (BBC/Electron)

The latest in a fine series of adventures from Acornsoft, well-written and with not a picture to be seen.
