The Jewel Of Power (Spectrum 48K)

With castles, desert, forests, prison cells, lanterns, dungeons, mazes, and even trolls on bridges, this is definitely for the traditional adventures.

Labyrinth (BBC Model B)

A simple but enjoyable game: nothing stunningly original, but well-done with nice sound and graphics.

Buggy Blast (Spectrum 48K)

The whole game is graphically superb: colour, movement, and sound are all used effectively, and there's enough variety of action to keep you interested.

Crystal Theft (Amstrad CPC464)

This one offers too many dead ends and I've just deserted the Battalion. The Vegans can keep their crystal.

Monopoly (Commodore 64)

Well recommended. Up to six players can take part, any one of whom can be taken by the computer.

Witch's Cauldron (Spectrum 48K)

Keyboard response is brisk, and adventurers should well enjoy being under this particular witch's spell.

Potty Pigeon (Spectrum 48K)

Compared with the Commodore 64 version this is, I'm afraid, a decidedly poor substitute.

The Wise And Fool Of Arnold Blackwood (Amstrad CPC464)

An enjoyable romp for those with a sense of the ridiculous, and the patience to cope with the responses.

Game Of Three (Commodore 64)
