Dragontorc Of Avalon (Spectrum 48K)

Sequels frequently disappoint, but Dragontorc achieves the near-impossible feat of being even better than Avalon.

Seaside Special (Commodore 64)

The game may not be intellectually stimulating, offer a wide variety of challenge or call for strategic planning but you can't say it's not original.

Ice Palace (Commodore 64)

Unusual, nicely implemented, addictive and deserves to do well.

Drop Zone (Atari 400)

For excellent sound, brilliant graphics and a great all-action challenge, shop around no more.

Stay Kool (Spectrum 48K)

A competent, not too tricky, version of something you've probably played a hundred times.

Alien 8 (Spectrum 48K)

Control is as with Knight Lore... In fact, with its crumbling blocks, walkways, and one-way leaps, Alien 8 is simply Knight Lore II.

Mama Llama (Commodore 64)

Sound and graphics are first class and the game large and fairly complex... but much of a muchness; when you've seen one llama, you've seen them all.
