Cyrus IS Chess Vs. Superchess 3.0 (Spectrum 16K/48K)

Spectrum Lessons (Spectrum 48K)

Alpha-Beth (A 'n F) (Spectrum 48K)

I had trouble loading as the inlay gave the wrong loading instructions. I couldn't read the instructions and so was quite baffled by the game itself.

Projector 1 (McGraw-Hill) (Spectrum 48K)

A useful tool to have for any company or training school.

The Highway Code (Datek Computing) (Spectrum 48K)

If you are taking your test shortly, I can really recommend this to you.

Micro Arts (Micro Arts) (Spectrum 48K)

I like my art with oils; personally I think this is whitewash. Still, people must have thought Picasso was a bit on the weird side when he started.

Zenji (Activision) (Spectrum 48K)

A simple game, but I found that I couldn't put it down... The sign of a good game.

Therbo (Arcade) (Spectrum 48K)

To tell you the truth, I was not impressed. The graphics are good but the game itself is boring.

Thurnell Disc Drive (Thurnell)

Crazy Caverns (Firebird) (Spectrum 16K/48K)

The idea of this game is innovative, but boredom ensues as it is not very exciting just going round screens as feeder, shoving biscuits into a chomping mouth.

Exodus (Firebird) (Spectrum 48K)

Should keep you amused for ages.

New Cylon Attack (A 'n F) (Spectrum 48K)

A first class arcade game with excellent graphics and realistic sound.

Kung-Fu (Bug-Byte) (Spectrum 48K)

A novel game of skill, including excellent animated graphics sequences.

Sir Lancelot (Melbourne House) (Spectrum 16K/48K)

The graphics and sound are alright, but nothing brilliant. The largest letdown is that, every time a life is lost, you have to wait for the funeral march to be played.

Hyperaction (Silversoft) (Spectrum 48K)

An excellent and original arcade game.

Eddie Kidd Jump Challenge (Martech) (Spectrum 48K)

A skillful game with excellent graphics and realistic sound. It all adds up to a winner.

Mancomp 184 Keyboard (Mancomp) (Spectrum 48K/128K/+2/+3)

Perhaps I had a faulty keyboard and maybe it was conincidence but on Tuesday it was installed, Thursday the keys started falling off and on Friday the Spectrum died. End of test, end of Spectrum, end of review.

The Ricoll Electronics Keyboard (Ricoll Electronics) (Spectrum 48K/128K/+2/+3)

If looks are not important but solid, hard-wearing efficiency is, then many people will be more than satisfied with this keyboard.

Micro Mouse Goes Debugging (Lothlorien) (Spectrum 16K)

A first-class high-resolution arcade game.

Bears In The Wood/Climber (Unicorn Micro Systems) (Sinclair ZX81)

The game has some nice touches, the player can define his/her own movement keys, the skill level can be altered to any one of six levels, and there is a hall of fame to record the best score.

Extended Basic (F. J. G. Beniest) (Spectrum 48K)

A first class program and excellent value... It could very well become the regulation programming enhancement for the ZX81.

Racehorse Trainer/Adventure (G. Barker) (Sinclair ZX81)

A thoroughly enjoyable simulation and excellent value for money.

Pyjamarama (Mikro-Gen) (Spectrum 48K)

A must for any games player and a classic of its type.

Transylvanian Tower (Richard Shepherd) (Spectrum 48K)

The graphics of the maze are pretty ordinary and at times the windows on the side wall are out of persepctive, giving the program a very amateurish look.

Intermediate Maths 1 (Rose) (Spectrum 48K)

Over 100K of soundly based and well-produced programs, this cassette offers almost unbeatable value or money.

World Cup Football (Artic) (Spectrum 48K)

A little easy when playing the computer and even easier when playing your little sister! However, if you can find someone with some enthusiasm to play against, well, it will be more exciting.

The 1K Artic Games Pack (Artic) (Sinclair ZX81)

Six quid for this? It's hardly worth six pence... It wouldn't come as a surprise to me to learn that this has been withdrawn from sale to prevent too much long-term damage to Artic Computing.

The Saga 1 Emperor Keyboard (Saga Systems) (Spectrum 48K/128K/+2/+3)

The Rotronics Wafadrive (Rotronics) (Spectrum 48K/128K/+2/+3)

Anyone going for a Drive needs to take this newcomer into account when the day comes.
