Paradroid 90 (Hewson Consultants) (Amiga 500)

Graftgold has faithfully recreated the one element that made Paradroid the classic it is today - the nerve-shatteringly tense gameplay.

Block Out (California Dreams) (Amiga 500)

Smooth presentation, randomly generated blocks and an impressive selection of pt sizes make for a slick, compelling and highly complex puzzle game.

Shadow Of The Beast II (Psygnosis) (Amiga 500)

Everything the first Beast should have been... Some of the problems are quite fiendish, and can be frustrating as mistakes are often fatal.

Simulcra (Micro Style) (Amiga 500)

The most remarkable aspect of Simulcra is the overall speed and subsequent pace of play.

Welltris (Infogrames) (Amiga 500)

Welltris is frustrating, frighteningly addictive and great fun: it's got everything that Tetris had - and more.

Time Machine (Activision) (Amiga 500)

First impressions of Time Machine are that it's little more than an average arcade adventure. Further investigation reveals that it runs a lot deeper than that.

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

Three-and-a-half million cases and four difficulty levels throw up enough shady evidence to satisfy the keenest Sherlock Holmes and you never get the same plot twice.

The Killing Game Show (Psygnosis) (Amiga 500)

Slick in every aspect - from the TV show opening sequence to the action replay feature.

Venus: The Flytrap (Gremlin) (Amiga 500)

Despite proving a little repetitive at times, Venus represents an entertaining challenge. Worth a flutter.

Operation Stealth (Delphine) (Amiga 500)

A highly-polished and playable adventure.

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

The pace is fast and frenetic, and the tactical elements aren't so complicated that they overshadow the action.

Ivan 'Ironman' Stewart's Super Off-Road Racer (Virgin Games) (Amiga 500)

Straightforward, no-nonsense fun all the way, even without other human players to hand... Highly recommended.
