3D Grand Prix (Software Invasion)

Would sell excellently with its graphics but its sound effects and fellow competitors spoil it for me.

Attack On The Somme (Tressell)

A very effective and sympathetic attempt to deal with this complex and emotional event.

Data Structures Demonstrator (DP Publications)

I can't see this being number one in the charts however - there isn't a single Space Invader in sight.

Spaceman Sid (English)

Spaceman Sid is essentially the same game as Micro Power's Dune Rider but is played at a more leisurely pace... and there are fewer aerial aliens. I found Sid more pleasing graphically, and much more addictive.

Ruin (Nottingham County Council)

Client details are randomised and although there is an element of chance in the accidents there is a heavy bias towards real life risks.

BMX On The Moon (Superior)

Nice gimmicks, but shame about the game. It's expensive for what it is.

Share Analyser (Synergy)

An excellent program which I found very easy to use and which should be of considerable interest to anyone with a small portfolio of stock exchange investments.

Tourism (Nelson CAL)

This package could result in much useful discussion with enough interaction to hold students' attention.

Art Designer (Pica)

I think it would take quite a while to get really proficient. That being said, it isn't like all the others and that I do like.

Developing Cities (Nelson CAL)

This is a highly recommended package which illustrates just how useful a micro can be as a learning aid.

Sinbad (Virgin)

All things considered, it's a reasonable game but is aimed at the younger end of the market.

Arena 3000 (Microdeal)

The general idea of the game is quite good and becomes addictive, although the graphics were by no means the best I have seen.

Swag (Micro Power)

Although advertised as a two player game, there is a one player practice option.

European Knowledge (Micro Power)

A well put together program. I feel that the most benefit will be gained by the pre-'O' level age groups for which it has apparently been designed.
