Batman: The Movie (Ocean) (Commodore 64)

The movie-of-the-year gets the game it deserves.

Five incredible levels provide a substantial challenge, but even if you complete it, you're going to keep playing this for a long time.

Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade: The Action Game (US Gold) (Commodore 64/128)

An attractive and playable game. Pity about the Spectrum status panel.

Simple, addictive Formula One fun.

Vigilante (US Gold) (Commodore 64/128)

A run-of-the-mill beat-'em-up.

Fire Power (Microillusions) (Commodore 64/128)

A severe lack of variety spoils a good idea.

Star Trek: The Promethean Prophecy (MGA SoftCat/Simon and Schuster) (Commodore 64)

Even non-Trekkies will enjoy this classic adventure.

Cosmic Pirate (Byte Back) (Commodore 64/128)

Compared to the chronic simplicity of most budget releases this a welcome surprise, and highly recommended.

Pitstop II (Kixx) (Commodore 64/128)

Simply one of the best games you can get for your C64.

One of the most original games ever written, it's also among the best shoot-'em-ups ever to grace home computers.

Crystal Castles (Kixx) (Commodore 64/128)

Although repetitive and initially difficult to control, using diagonals, this is simple, uncomplicated fun which is well worth buying on budget.

Kendo Warrior (Byte Back) (Commodore 64)

A top-notch budget release... The backgrounds are very nicely detailed and the sprites aren't bad either.

World Series Baseball (The Hit Squad) (Commodore 64/128)

Highly recommended, and good preparation for seeing all the new baseball movies coming out now.

Soldier Of Light (Rad) (Commodore 64/128)

However many you shoot, there's always more, and the man is awkward to move fast enough to give you a fair chance.

Power Drift (Activision) (Commodore 64/128)

The speed of the game and rush of oncoming cars and hills is enough to keep your stomach hanging in mid-air for most of the race!

RVF Honda (MicroStyle) (Amiga 500)

A playable but uncomplicated racing game.

3D Pool (Firebird) (Amiga 500)

A first-rate pool sim.

Undoubtedly the best tennis sim yet.

One of the most fun sports sims around.

Enough arcade action to put most compilations to shame!
