Exterminator (Audiogenic)

Die, bug, die! Non-stop insect-squashing action. A brilliantly insane mix of fun and thrills. Superb.

Gazza 2 (Empire)

A superlative footy game that's vastly superior to Gazza's Soccer. Eta bloody great mahn ef yu lake phootball.

F-16 Combat Pilot (Digital Integration)

I could have spent hours on F-16 Combat Pilot. The controls are responsive, maybe even delicate, but there is a definite sense of realism to this simulator.

Pick 'N Pile (Ubisoft)

The main problem with Pick 'N Pile is that it's very similar to Ocean's Puzznic, though with inferior graphics.

Hawk Storm (Players)

Could have been a goodie, but so many corners have been cut that the finished product is lacking something.

Return Of The Jedi (The Hit Squad)

There isn't a great deal of excitement here, and the action's pretty predictable.

10 Pack (Gremlin)

A good all-round compilation with something for all.

Operation Wolf (The Hit Squad)

Top-notch all action baddie blastin' arcade extravaganza, not to be missed.

Miami Cobra GT (Players)

Surprisingly good budget racer with loadsa levels and fast action.

Eliminator (Players)

Unexciting space-race-shoot-'em-up fails to stir the adrenalin.

Firelord (Players)

Pixie adventure on a grand scale with nice graphics and absorbing gameplay.

Chase H.Q. 2: Special Criminal Investigations (Ocean)

A pretty good game, with lots of excitement and decent graphics and animation. The trouble is that we've seen it all before - in Chase H.Q. 1!

S.T.U.N. Runner (Domark)

Apart from the decent sound of the Spectrum version, the only consolation is that the C64 version is apparently worse, difficult though that is to imagine.

Impossaball (Players)

Unusual, challenging and exciting arcade fun with balls.

Wec Le Mans (The Hit Squad)

Front-rank car racing coin-op conversion stands up to the test of time.
