Sid Meier's Civilization (Microprose) (Amiga 500)

A brilliant game.

Hoi (Hollyware) (Amiga 500/500+/600/1200/2000/3000/4000)

So pure that it brings back all those memories of what games used to be about.

International Sports Challenge (Empire) (Amiga 500)

A thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining sports sim.

Aqua Ventura (Psygnosis) (Amiga 500)

Games that spend years in development tend to fall into one of two categories; they're either completely amazing or completely disappointing. Sadly, this is an example of the latter.

Crazy Cars III (Titus) (Amiga 500)

Very, very good indeed.

Liverpool: The Computer Game (Grandslam) (Amiga 500)

Super Tetris (Spectrum Holobyte) (Amiga 500)

The best official version of the game for the Amiga.

California Games II (Epyx) (Amiga 500)

An attractive proposition on paper, it sadly fails to deliver anything like its potential on screen.

Red Zone (Psygnosis) (Amiga 500)

Quite simply, the most exciting bike-racing game yet.

Gobliiins (Coktel Vision) (Amiga 500)

Gobliiins could so easily have been a great game, but due to the clumsy player interface and the annoying game design elements it lands seriously wide of the mark.

Bug Bomber (Kingsoft) (Amiga 500)

If you can muster the mates, you'd be hard pushed to find a more enjoyable group game concept.

Catch 'Em (Prestige) (Amiga 500)

A certified turkey, and it's not even Xmas.

Emlyn Hughes International Soccer (Touchdown) (Amiga 500)

An enjoyable kickabout that hard-up and undemanding soccer fans should be happy with.

Sleeping Gods Lie (Touchdown) (Amiga 500)

I don't know who this would appeal to. Personally, it bored me to tears.

Seymour Goes To Hollywood (Codemasters) (Amiga 500)

By no means an epic, but the sort of game that's ideally suited to a budget price point and really does offer good value for money.

Spike In Transilvania (Codemasters) (Amiga 500)

A pleasant enough diversion that, once again, proves that Codemasters know exactly what punters expect for their eight quid.

War (17 Bit Software) (Amiga 500)

Although strategically limited, there's enough decision-making going on to keep the brain ticking over and the battles are a great laff.

Super Pacman 92 (17 Bit Software) (Amiga 500)

More than a little disappointing.

Fatal Mission & 'That Tennis Thing' (17 Bit Software) (Amiga 500)

Make sure that you read the instruction and credit screens - they're rather droll.

Battlecars 2 (Fortiss Pd) (Amiga 500)

Although the premise is excellent, the actual execution of the game is not.

Legend Of Lothian (PD Soft) (Amiga 500)

Compared to Ultima V, this RPG lacks depth, but then again it comes on one disk and there's little disk-swapping. So there you go.

PlaySID (17 Bit Software) (Amiga 500)

Anyone who fondly remembers the days when the likes of Martin Galway and Rob Hubbard were musical Kings of the Kommodore will have a nostalgic field day with this.

Magnatron (17 Bit Software) (Amiga 500)

One of those games that sounds good on paper but turns out to be rather unappealing in practice.
