Renegade (Imagine)

A thoroughly entertaining fighting romp through New York.

International Karate+ (Activision)

An outstanding beat-'em-up which shouldn't be missed.

Blazer (Nexus)

It's Hades Nebula exhumed, renamed and tweaked - for the better.

Solomon's Key (US Gold)

An original, satisfying and addictive variation on the platform theme.

Athena (Imagine)

A tough, but enjoyable, arcade adventure which has its moments.

Morpheus (Hewson)

A superlative program which could inspire a whole new style of game.

Water Polo (Gremlin)

A tough and challenging, but ultimately enjoyable, sports simulation.

Mean City (Quicksilva)

A merely average arcade adventure with untapped possibilities.

Starfox (Reaktor/Ariolasoft)

Splendid space action with a good dose of strategy.

Pi R Squared (Mind Games)

A novel puzzle game which provides plenty of entertainment.

Tai-Pan (Ocean)

A fairly good trading game which doesn't live up to its potential.

Scary Monsters (Firebird)

A beautiful, but ultimately tedious, arcade game.

Witch Hunt (Classic Quests)

A high quality, single load adventure of a high standard.

Stationfall (Infocom)

Steve Meretzky's latest adventure creation is certainly on a par with his previous work, incorporating atmosphere, humour and a plethora of puzzles.

Accolade's Comics (US Gold/Accolade)

Brilliantly implemented, extremely polished and genuinely humorous in parts... for the first few plays, but once seen offers no real lasting appeal.

Moebius (MicroProse/Origin)

Quite sadly, this just doesn't live up to its potential.

Alternate Reality: The Dungeon (Datasoft)

An excellent RPG which offers plenty of depth, variety and interaction.

Legacy Of The Ancients (Electronic Arts)

Looks great at first, but doesn't live up to initial expectations. It's still worth a look though.

The Armageddon Man (Martech)

A game with an original idea and imaginative presentation... but which turns out, ultimately, to be disappointing.

High Frontier (Activision)

A strategy game based around the Strategic Defence Initiative. If you're into funding scientific research and wargames, it's good for what it is.

Druid II: Enlightenment (Firebird)

An entertaining and worthy sequel to Druid.

Quedex (Thalamus)

An original, beautifully designed and superbly implemented puzzle package.

Joe Blade (Players)

A fairly simplistic shoot-'n-search game, but it's made really enjoyable by the pleasant graphics and almost humorous gameplay. Definitely one for the collection.

Anarchy (Rack It)

The unusual gameplay, neat graphics and brilliant sound effects make Anarchy interesting and entertaining to play.

On Cue (Mastertronic)

The balls' movement is also pretty unrealistic, with balls accelerating and decelerating apparently at random.

Tunnel Vision (Rack-It)

Superb graphics... but a definite feeling of pointlessness.

Special Agent (Firebird)

The graphics are smartly drawn and although the characters are rather tiny, Felix's death throes are wonderfully animated.

Pyramid Of Time (Firebird)

Strangely addictive and extremely well presented - especially in the sound department.

Defcom (Bug-Byte)

This is really a poor excuse for a computer game.

Land Of Neverwhere (The Powerhouse)

Getting from one side of the landscape to the other proves a straightforward, but difficult, task to complete and after several attempts the lack of any enthralling action soon caused my interest to wane.

Ubik's Music (Firebird)

A detailed program, aimed at a games programmer or SID freak without a bespoke music program.
