Wec Le Mans (Imagine)

An absolutely brilliant racing game. Ocean prove yet again that they are the software house for '89.

Operation Hormuz (Again Again)

Won't teach you much about international diplomacy, but it will teach you enough sense to stay out of the Arabian Gulf.

LED Storm (Go/Capcom)

If the idea of racing from the bottom of the screen to the top for an eternity fails to do anything for your spark plugs, steer clear.

Blackbeard (Kixx)

While the game area is fairly large, it's not big enough to require making a map, so you probably won't spend months of your life playing Blackbeard.

The Munsters (Again Again)

If you're one of those 'Oh I never miss an episode, it's just soo great' sort of people, you'll probably enjoy The Munsters for its tie-in value, but otherwise it's not worth raising the money to buy it.

Xenon (Melbourne House)

Amazing shoot-out classic! Action! Music! Aliens! Kwoar!

Heroes Of The Lance (US Gold)

It's a disappointing cross between RPGs and arcade-adventures which doesn't make the bast of either genre, though it will probably be enjoyed by anyone is a true devotee of the original.

S. D. I. (Activision)

Surprisingly exciting coin-op conversion; plays even better than it looks.

Aquasquad (Atlantis)

Poor underwater blast. Don't be fooled by the nice graphics.

Pro Soccer (CRL)

Simple but fun footy with some really nice graphics. CRL are finally back on the ball.

Skateball (Ubi Soft)

A good game but causes aggro and confusion, especially if playing against the computer.

Tiger Road (Capcom)

Reasonable though not astonishing ninja game. Worth a look.

G. I. Hero (Firebird)

There just isn't any content to the game, and people being amused by simply shooting things for hours are few and far between nowadays.

Circus Games (Tynesoft)

There's nothing in Circus Games to really make you want to get involved. Circus Circus from Martech is superficially similar and it's a whole lot better than this bag of tricks.

Deadenders (Top Ten)

Cheesy, Quilled Eastenders adventure spoof with a few good jokes.

Rebel (Mastertronic)

Requires a lot of strategy and planning to produce success and, when you do succeed, there are more pretty graphics as you see the laser ray going towards its destination, and destroying it.

Leaderboard (Kixx)

The best simulation on the market, well worth a look even if you don't like golf.

Death Stalker (Codemasters)

Graphics are nice in a 'boring-seen-it-all-before-ho-hum-yawn-snore' sort of way and without colour it's hard to distinguish characters or work out just what is going on.

Flight Ace (Star Games)

Pretty good summary of the genre. Six games, some good, some seriously blah.

War In Middle Earth (Melbourne House)

Interesting blend of almost every genre of game. Works well, too.
