Super Huey II (US Gold)

One of the best flight simulations available on the C64 today. An essential buy for any budding pilot.

Flash Gordon (Mastertronic Added Dimension)

The three segments have something for everyone: exploration set in a forest, a bash 'em up and finally a fast action game.

Galivan (Imagine)

A no frills, fair-to-middling shoot-'em-up.

Assault Machine (Nexus)

An unusual and mildly interesting game, but nothing to write home about.

The Bard's Tale (Electronic Arts)

Very addictive... There is enough in the game to last several months at least, and it's very easy to get lost in Skara Brae!

The Colour Of Magic (Piranha/Delta 4)

A good adventure in spite of (and not just because of) the gimmickery... Lives up to the reputation of Terry Pratchett's novel very well.

Bugsy (CRL/St. Brides)

Funny, yes. But compelling? Not really, and it seems to lack excitement.

Dracula (CRL)

An interesting version of the story but not one worth shelling out £9.95 for.

Crystal Castles (US Gold)

Somehow this conversion has been terribly messed up. At £9.99, Crystal Castles is something to be avoided.

Warrior II (Nexus)

A must for Psi Warrior fans.

Kettle (Alligata)

A potentially exciting concept which has been poorly executed.

Yie Ar Kung Fu II (Imagine)

Great bad guys... Straightforward controls. An enjoyable game, more difficult and challenging than the first, and well worth looking at if you liked its predecessor.

Panther (Mastertronic)

Quite playable in a monotonous sort of way. It looks quite nice as well, and the whole shooting match jogs along quite nicely with boppy Dave Whittaker music.

Donkey Kong (Ocean)

A competent conversion... Okay, so it's not visually or aurally astounding, but it does have a great deal of playability and, if you're a fan of the original, like me, you'll love this conversion.

Camelot Warriors (Ariolasoft)

A simple arcade adventure lacking arcade action and adventure... Boredom soon sets in due to a lack of variety and action.

Captured (American Action)

A very poor platform game cum arcade adventure.

Nuclear Embargo (Micropool)

Not a brilliant program, but very original and enjoyable to play.

Bazooka Bill (Melbourne House)

I'm not quite sure whether Melbourne House have released this as a joke, or whether they're serious. Whatever their motive, there's one thing that's definite: Bazooka Bill is awful.

Bulldog (Gremlin)

A simple blasting game which provides a couple of hours' entertainment.

1942 (Elite)
