Blasteroids (Image Works) (Amiga 500)

It looks a lot better than the original Asteroids but, somewhere along the line, the thrill and feel of it is lost.

Dugger (Linel) (Amiga 500)

Herbie has failed to impress this time, but hopefully he'll be third time lucky with perhaps a stone-age Stargate or prehistoric Pac-Man. Then again, perhaps not.

Highway Hawks (Anco) (Amiga 500)

Shows that speedy graphics manipulation in a race game is possible... Had the aesthetics matched their speed, this could well have been the best game of its type so far.

Millennium 2.2 (Electric Dreams) (Amiga 500)

A brilliant piece of game design and programming that can proudly take its place alongside the likes of Elite and Carrier Command.

Sword Of Sodan (Discovery) (Amiga 500)

The traps and airborne adversaries on later levels help to vary the gameplay, but ultimately there's some doubt as to its staying power.

F-19 Stealth Fighter (Microprose) (Amiga 500)

The graphics are quite superb, and the manual makes enthralling reading, even if you never go near the game.

The Games: Winter Edition (Epyx) (Amiga 500)

California Games was a good start at getting away from the Olympic Stadium... but this is more of a step backwards.

I, Ludicrus (Actual Screenshots) (Amiga 500)

The worst of all worlds... It's meant to be a comic combat game. Instead, it's a select few opponents fighting each other on the same old background.

Superman: The Man Of Steel (Tynesoft) (Amiga 500)

One of the few licences which actually takes care to incorporate the original character's features and style. It's a pity the execution is flawed.

TechnoCop (U. S. Gold) (Amiga 500)

It looks good, especially the backgrounds, but the animation and scrolling is a little jerky.

The Munsters (Alternative) (Amiga 500)

Mediocre graphics, an unoriginal plot and overly frustrating gameplay.

Jet Fighter: The Adventure (Software Circus) (PC (MS-DOS))

One of the most enjoyable games of its type on the PC - and PC owners have at last got one over on their ST and Amiga-owning pals.

Crazy Cars 2 (Titus) (Amiga 500)

Arrrgh! One of the least impressive driving games to appear. The car's control varies between being unresponsive and ridiculously over-sensitive, while the collision detection only makes things worse.

Zany Golf (Electronic Arts) (Amiga 500)

An outstanding product. It's a shame that there doesn't seem to be adequate incentive to come back after completing the nine courses.

Prison (Chrysalis) (Amiga 500)

Serves as an excellent introduction to arcade adventures, and the complex puzzles and various sub-games should keep you occupied for some time to come.

F-16 Combat Pilot (Digital Integration) (Amiga 500)

Aesthetically, it's not quite as appealing as Falcon, but the almost infinitesimal number of missions combined with such extra elements as tanks, night-flying and the LANTIRN targeting system more than make up for this.

Denaris (Rainbow Arts) (Amiga 500)

One of the most slick and professionally programmed games yet seen on the Amiga. It's got addictive gameplay, brilliant sonics and beautiful graphics.

The Games: Summer Edition (Epyx) (Amiga 500)

The sound effects are a bit limited, but this hardly detracts from the enjoyment of the game overall.

Hybris (Discovery) (Amiga 500)

Everything that a good shoot-'em-up should be - and then some!
