Action Double (Challenge)

Two games on one tape that are more absorbing than a twin-pack of Dixcel.

Altered Beast (Kixx)

To get the most out of this game, you'll have to possess the oriental skills of the next Bruce Lee.

CJ In The USA (Codemasters)

CJ is cute and cuddly but don't be misled - it's a tough, well put-together game.

Edd The Duck (Zeppelin Games)

Very playable, with brash and colourful graphics... You may find the game a bit short (only three levels, after all) but it's well worth a look.

Grand Prix Challenge (Challenge)

This is terribly dull and too boring to be any fun.

Hudson Hawk (Ocean)

It's a bit slow to play 'cos of the puzzles, and the baddies don't exactly come thick and fast. But it's original, it's fun and I like it.

The James Bond 007 Collection (Domark)

An average compilation. Buy it at your own (and no one else's) discretion.

Phoenix (Zenobi)

Its strong language and gory descriptions might offend some, but it is just a game. And, in fact, it's a great game.

Power Drift (The Hit Squad)

Successfully captures the high octane spirit of the arcade... You'll need a good eye, good luck and an iron stomach to stay the course of this twisted, 25 track, nightmare.

Seymour Goes To Hollywood (Codemasters)

It's Dizzy by another name, but it's brilliant and very, very big! Whatever you do, you've just got to get hold of this... at any cost!

The Simpsons: Bart Vs. the Space Mutants (Ocean)

Big, tough and lots of fun.

Six Appeal (Ubisoft)

With four strong games, this pack is a bit of a bargain!

Sky High Stuntman (Codemasters)

An airborne shoot-'em-up with a film theme. Quite nice really.

Super Sim Pack (US Gold)

A beautifully presented compilation. You can't complain really, can you?

Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles: The Coin-Op (Mirrorsoft)

This isn't an earth-shatteringly new concept in Speccy games but it certainly is playable, exciting and set at just the right difficulty level.

Treasure Island (Zenobi)

Jack Lockerby has managed to keep the basic adventurous element of the book alive, while at the same time he's added his own brand of adventuring to the proceedings. The end result is another fine game!

The Ultimate Collection (Ubisoft)

In summary, three good games and three alright (but still worth having) games.

War Of The Roses (Cases)

It's history in the making - get it to exercise your brain not your trigger finger!
