Terminator 2: Judgment Day (Ocean)

Terrific Terminator 2 is totally the tops for tension and takes this tome's title for tenacity!

Pit-Fighter (Domark)

Excellent intro animation screens set the scene for an excellent conversion against all the odds. One of the few two player games out that is just as much fun played alone.

Smash TV (Ocean)

Thuggery performed at an almost professional level! This is the game that The Running Man should have been - brightly detailed, fast yet unjerky graphics and a blisteringly simple yet addictive gameplay.

Battle Command (Ocean)

Good graphics and a host of weaponry and options make it a thinking person's shoot-'em-up.

Xybots (The Hit Squad)

An original looking game that won't disappoint fans of the coin-op. If you've got a comrade in arms handy the fun factor is easily doubled.

Big Box (Beau-Jolly)

No, no, no. Don't do it. Don't ruin your life, use your brains and shop around. Thirty games might seem like a lot for the money but if you only actually play half a dozen it's a serious waste. Just avoid it.

Cabal (The Hit Squad)

Good scrolling and control make Cabal easy to play; lack of definition of the main sprite doesn't. Still great fun and worth a buy.

Impossamole (GBH)

If you want a real platforming challenge you can't get much tougher than this. A whole lotta mole!

Hobgoblin (Atlantis)

Fabulous use of colour and sumptuous backdrops abound. Let down by sheer toughness. Expect to be severely battle scarred when the lights go out.

Batman: The Movie (The Hit Squad)

Very nice graphics and some thoughtful sounds. Batman is slightly a lethargic mover and doesn't always duck when it's in his best interests to do so, but a solid buy nonetheless.

Sharkey's Moll (Zeppelin)

The game doesn't do the programming justice. If only all the effort had gone into something original.
