Llamazap (Atarisoft)

Fast, furious, colourful, loud and immensely playable. What more could you possibly ask for?

Zool: Ninja Of The Nth Dimension (Gremlin)

Huge... Very speedy and incredibly smooth scrolling... But it's not brilliant.

One Step Beyond (Ocean)

The graphics are alright and some of the puzzles can be quite difficult to solve. But you've seen it all before in Push Over, except for the dominoes have become platforms.

Beastlord (Grandslam)

A sizeable playing area and some pretty graphics. But the pace of the game is very slow, and you run as if through treacle.

Scrabble (U. S. Gold)

Rather than adding anything to the board game - and that's despite having the ability to print out your score sheets - this ST conversion takes away most of the fun. There seems little point in bothering with it.

Toki (The Hit Squad)

Lovely graphics, very much like the coin-op version. But the screen area is small, and it's frustratingly difficult at times.

Strike Fleet (The Hit Squad)

Tense and atmospheric, lots to do once you get into it, more up to date than most boat sims.

Chase HQ 2: Special Criminal Investigation (The Hit Squad)

It's a long way from being a classic. But if you've got strong hand muscles and unfazeable eyesight, this is quite a diverting and tricky racer.

Hardball (The Hit Squad)

This is dull, and there's no excuse for it. It was a stupid idea in the first place, but it's been executed ineptly and it looks naff.

The Secret Of Monkey Island (Kixx)

But the sheer fabulousness of The Secret Of Monkey Island is so well known that any review is going to be utterly predictable.

Cybercon 3 (Kixx)

Cybercon 3 has much to recommend it. It's very big, very smart and thankfully comes on a single disk, but I found it curiously uninvolving.
