TNT 2 (Domark)

All the games are relatively recent in origin and with the exception of Skull And Crossbones, all have above average playability with good movement. The real star of the show is Robot Monsters.

Neighbours (Impulze)

A two-player option might have saved this somewhat, but if it were my money, I'd go for something that would last for weeks rather than a couple of hours.

Space Crusade (Gremlin)

Zap those aliens, destroy the fearful dreadnought, complete your mission and collect imperial honours... what a game!

Big Nose's American Adventure (Codemasters)

A playable, enjoyable game that can get a little infuriating because of the questionable sprite detection.

Super Seymour (Codemasters)

I really enjoyed this installment in the Seymour Saga, it contains much more arcade style fun than Seymour Goes To Hollywood and will keep you busy pulverising polluters for a long time.

Double Dare (Alternative)

THe computer opponent is quite knowledgeable and the game would be fun in two player mode too.

Game Over II (Alternative)

More than enough speed and good fightin' action to keep most combat-crazy space veterans blister-fingered and well plastered right to the end.

The Last Commando (Summit)

Graphics and sound are good, if a little dated-looking and I must say I enjoyed this little bash.

Ninja Collection (Ocean)

Call me The Master of Moany-Jitsu, but the Ninja Collection just fails to make it past the level of white belt in the compilation grades.

4 Game Pack No. 1 (Atlantis)

One of the worst budget compilations I've seen. If you've got a brain, you'll avoid this package like the plague.

Soccer Stars (Empire)

Football has never been a good subject for the Spectrum which two of the games, Kick Off and Microprose Soccer, prove without a doubt. If you can wait until the budgets come out then do so.

G-Loc (U.S. Gold)

A fast, action-packed aerial shoot-'em-up with many difficult enemies and situations to overcome.

Kids Pack (Alternative)

There are no outstanding titles here, but they are certainly good fun in the short term.

The Shoe People (First Class)

It's fun to look at, listen to and play. You can't ask for much more than that.

3D Pool (Kixx)

Surprisingly addictive... It will keep you pottering away at it for ages.

Italia '90: World Cup Soccer (Tronix)

Clear graphics and sensible control are spoilt by the sluggishness of the game. Fast paced-action it isn't but World Cup fans might fight their way through to the end of the road.

Midnight Resistance (The Hit Squad)

Detailed and colourful backdrops and lots of meaty explosions complement the animated sprites as they run around the jerky, but fast-scrolling play area, brandishing a variety of kick ass weaponry.

Bismarck (Summit)

A joy for strategists, and a nightmare for anyone who wants joystick-pumpin' action.

Multimixx 4 (Kixx)

Good games that are worth a look even if they are ageing a bit at this stage.

Ivan 'Iron Man' Stewart's Super Off-Road Racer (Tronix)

Spectrum racing games at their ultimate best. Off-Road has good graphics, blistering gameplay and on 128K, excellent sound and music.

Monty Python's Flying Circus (Tronix)

A blinking good lark, mate. Difficult but enjoyable and well worth a look.

Rainbow Islands (The Hit Squad)

Rainbow Islands. It sounds good, it looks good, and you can certainly play it. This is what a game should be like. You won't be disappointed.
