Citadel (Electric Dreams) (Commodore 64)

An excellent cross-breed of shoot-'em-up and puzzle action.

Rick Dangerous (Firebird) (Commodore 64/128)

A playable and fun platform-style game but not much more than that.

Super Scramble Simulator (Gremlin) (Commodore 64/128)

An overpriced follow-up to the much superior Kik Start II.

3D Pool (Firebird) (Commodore 64)

A novel twist on the traditional pool game with good graphics to match.

American Club Sports (Mindscape) (Commodore 64/128)

Old but playable games providing variation on the traditional sports theme. Best with two players.

Navy Moves (Dinamic) (Amiga 500)

A brilliant arcade adventure only slightly marred by a cruel first level.

H.A.T.E. (Gremlin) (Commodore 64/128)

You will H.A.T.E. this... In fact, you won't die, you'll give up.

Baal (Psyclapse) (Amiga 500)

An above-average platforms-and-ladders/shoot-'em-up hybrid. Worth a look!

Deja Vu II: Lost In Las Vegas (Icom/Mindscape) (Amiga 500)

A worthy follow-up to the excellent, innovative original.

Journey (Infocom) (Commodore 64/128)

If you're a fan of Infocom's 'interactive fiction' style, this is a highly polished and engrossing example.

Zork Zero (Infocom) (Amiga 500)

Hilariously funny and a considerable challenge.

Waterloo (PSS) (Amiga 500)

A strong game cleverly executed which will hopefully pave the way for more of the same.

Tank Attack (CDS) (Commodore 64)

A well thought out if rather simple wargame which is refreshingly different from the standard.

1942 (Encore) (Commodore 64/128)

Sprites are well above average and, whilst background graphics aren't spectacular, the baddy-packed, atmospheric gameplay soon tears up any thoughts of lack of overall presentation.

Ninja Commando (Zeppelin) (Commodore 64/128)

There are a pleasing range of tunes and effects incorporated within the program, my favourite being the bubbly title track which manages to set the frenetic pace of the game just right.

Arcade Flight Simulator (Codemasters) (Commodore 64/128)

Although an effort has been made to tart the whole thing up with some interesting sound effects, the dire title ditty eliminates any previous feelings of contentment.

Saboteur II (Encore) (Commodore 64/128)

Gameplay and graphics are very close to the original, with sonics the only (minimal) improvement.

Deep Strike (Encore) (Commodore 64/128)

I'm convinced that there must be some strategy to survive, it's just that I couldn't find it.

Astaroth (Hewson) (Amiga 500)

An extremely challenging arcade adventure sporting incredibly detailed graphics.

Vindicators (Domark) (Amiga 500)

A competent conversion of an eye-catching yet unchallenging coin-op.

Time Scanner (Activision) (Amiga 500)

A very playable pinball game, although it would have benefitted from having a few more features and maybe even an extra couple of tables.

The New Zealand Story (Ocean) (Amiga 500)

Superb. This conversion's got even better graphics than the coin-op!

Wayne Gretzky Hockey (Mindscape/Bethesda) (Amiga 500)

A good mixture of frantic action and strategy makes this the best ice hockey sim yet.

Microprose Soccer (Microprose) (Amiga 500)

A simple, fun-to-play footy sim.

Gunship (MicroProse) (Amiga 500)

A tricky game to get into but enthusiasts will be instantly hooked.

Hawkeye (Thalamus) (Amiga 500)

Very easy to get into and highly addictive. But C64 emulation is in evidence which comes as a big disappointment.

Xybots (Tengen) (Amiga 500)

A first class conversion of a very playable coin-op.
