Avalon (Hewson)

If you are into arcade games then you will enjoy moving around and killing the monsters in the maze. If, on the other hand, you like adventures you will be fascinated by the puzzles.

Orc Slayer (Gamma)

A good average adventure in the classic mould.

Terrahawks (CRL)

Just another piece of mediocre space entertainment... but if your idea of a good space game is blasting your way through a platoon of green monoliths then this game is for you.

Astronomer (CP Software)

As a means of learning the positions of astronomical features and as a guide to where you will actually find them in the sky, the program should prove effective.

Daley Thompson's Decathlon (Ocean)

Arcade conversions do not always work on the small screen. Daley Thompson's Decathlon is an exception, and captures the spirit of the competition.

Bewarehouse/Frog Face (Positive Image)

Humpty Dumpty And The Fuzzy Wuzzies (Artic)

The game has a novel concept but does not develop it. There is nothing either in the scenario or technical execution makes it anything more than mediocre.

System 15000 ()

An absolutely first-rate game and the very stuff of which good adventures should be made. We can hardly wait for the sequel.

Crusoe (Automata)

If Automata's eccentric style appeals, you will enjoy the game, though the crabbed script and minute screen detail are likely to irritate even the most persistent.

Friendly Face Microdrive Utility (Friendly Face)

Allows the input of notes and memorandums on a variety of subjects. These can be accessed efficiently using Masterfile.

Strangeloop (Virgin Games)

Strangeloop may well make as large an impact on the market as any game from Software Projects or Ultimate.

The War Of The Worlds (CRL)

Dragonfire (Cheetahsoft)

The program is exciting and difficult but with only two screens, the thrill soon wears off. That is a serious limitation... and bound to reduce its permanent appeal.

White Lightning (Oasis)

Twin Kingdom Valley (Bug-Byte)

Little really seems to happen until you have been playing it for some time and have found some of the objects which you need.

Words And Pictures (Chalksoft)

Hmmm, flashcards and word cards could be made for a fraction of the price. They would provide identical activities, and would probably be a richer visual experience.
