Stop The Express (Sinclair)

Sinclair Research only occasionally releases a piece of software which establishes itself as an industry standard. This is one of those occasions.

Inferno (Richard Shepherd)

With such an imaginative idea for a game and the works of the great poet as a source of images it is a pity the graphics are not more inspiring.

Mr. Wong's Loopy Laundry (Artic)

The graphics flicker and the actions you have to perform are repetitive. Good clean fun but is unlikely to be a best-seller.

Mugsy (Melbourne House)

Inevitably the graphics will tend to become uninteresting after they have been seen enough times but while they remain fresh they are a delight and make the game a pleasure to play.

Antics (Bug-Byte)

An interesting maze game.

Mastertronic Games

Psytron (Beyond)

Staggering complexity and extremely high-quality graphics.

Carpet Capers (Terminal)

Amateurishly stiff graphical movement from sprites just a character square wide.

Sabre Wulf (Ultimate)

While the graphics are not entirely flicker-free, with the usual problems when figures pass over each other, they are up to the high Ultimate standards and the action is fast.

Geronimo's Revenge

Bears In The Wood (Unicorn Micro Systems)

GOSUBS (McGraw Hill)

If you like a staple diet of unpalatable listings and stodgy explanations you will enjoy GOSUBS. If not, you ought to steer clear of it.

Advanced Spectrum Forth (Melbourne House)

The style is simple and the book should promote the cause of the Forth language.

I Wish I Knew About The Spectrum And ZX81 (Pitman)

Why has yet another beginner's book has been produced for two machines in a market which is already saturated? I wish I knew.
