Nobby The Aardvark (Thalamus)

Thalamus have an excellent track record and I reckon this is their best game yet.

Slicks (Codemasters)

Graphically competent with neatly drawn sprites... although control of the car is tricky at first.

Bangers And Mash (Alternative)

Very frustrating... When jumping up into the unknown - you often bump into a previously unseen baddy.

Count Duckula 2 (Alternative)

With a couple more sub-games it would've been a steal, but as it stands there's just not enough here to justify splashing out on.

Jahangir Khan World Championship Squash (Kixx)

A blinding game in its own right... It certainly worked for me, but won't appeal to everyone.

S.T.U.N. Runner (The Hit Squad)

A pile of tosh...! A piddle poor conversion of an impossible-to-convert coin-op.

Jack Nicklaus Golf (The Hit Squad)

If you're tired of Leader Board, this is a good buy on budget. If you haven't got Leader Board, it's an excellent purchase.

Badlands (The Hit Squad)

You either love or hate this game type - I love it, even if it's slightly on the blocky side.

Strider 2 (Kixx)

Next to the likes of Target Renegade, Strider 2 is just a button-bashing exercise. The graphics are awful with virtually all the sprites drawn entirely in blue.

World Championship Boxing (GBH)

Trainspotters will probably be the only people who'll buy this game: the rest of us will find watching an episode of Eldorado more rewarding.

Nightmare (The Guild)

A little more play-testing and Nightmare would've been a real boon, but even as it stands, it's a great game.
