![]() | Commodore 64/128 | Shoot-'Em-Up Destruction Set (Premium Edition) (Psytronik) | Sounds like this one could be a winner. | 90% | |
![]() | PC (MS-DOS) | Commodore Emulator (Dm Computing) | A real home from home. Until the full version surfaces, this one will be welcome on may a hard disk. | 75% | |
![]() | Commodore 64/128 | Wilberforce (Venture) | It's a playable enough jaunt, but it's not the sort of game you show to your mates to impress them with what the C64 is capable of. | 55% | |
![]() | Commodore 64/128 | Square Scape (M & P Software) | Though graphically pleasing and generally well presented, not enough attention has been given to the gameplay to make this anything other than a good PD release or a relatively unimpressive budget title. | 35% | |
![]() | Commodore 64/128 | Archetype Plus Cops 3 (Premium Edition) (Psytronik) | Good, old fashioned shoot-'em-up action. Both games are decent enough entertainment for the bargain price, but they're both a bit on the ropey side and could do with tidying up. | 76% | |
![]() | Commodore 64/128 | Sleepwalker (Ocean) | A brilliant game which twists and turns constantly, never gets dull and challenges all your game-playing skills to their limits. | 90% | |
![]() | Commodore 64/128 | World Championship Squash (Zeppelin Games) | If you really have to have a squash sim this is not the one to get. Unless, of course, you have trouble sleeping. | 45% | |
![]() | Commodore 64/128 | The Postman Pat Hit Collection (Alternative) | As Meatloaf once quothed, "Two out of three ain't bad". The first two games play well, whilst the third is slow, dull and not really worth the tape it's recorded on. | 64% | |
![]() | Commodore 64/128 | Diplomacy (Virgin Games) | This one's not for the arcade player. It's a long, detailed game which will test your brain (just like history lessons at school). But it's certainly not bad. | 70% | |
![]() | Commodore 64/128 | Double Dragon 2: The Revenge (Tronix) | One of the old school of beat-'em-ups, where the characters don't actually seem to hit each other. The collision detection is a bit dodgy, to say the least. | 66% | |
![]() | Commodore 64/128 | Intro The Complete MIDI Starter Pack (Dr T's) | Intro isn't easy to operate, but with perseverance you can achieve stunning results. | 81% | |
![]() | Commodore 64/128 | Rodland (Storm) | A great game that looks cute but plays hard. It's very difficult to pull yourself away from. | 82% | |
![]() | Commodore 64/128 | Hellhole (CRL) | Smart graphics, with large animated monsters and a pleasing variety of enemies. When you begin to remember where the tougher aliens appear and form a plan of attack, you start to make progress. Collecting the right weapons at the right time is absolutely vital. | 58% | |
![]() | Commodore 64/128 | Millenium Warriors (First Star) | It's good, but it could've been better. Only five battles is a bit stingy, and all the pretty text boxes and spacecrafty bits don't make up for it. All the same, it's jolly amusing in two-player mode and with all the collectables you can find, there's a wee bit of strategy involved too. | 67% | |
![]() | Commodore 64/128 | International Ice Hockey (Zeppelin Games) | The sort of game you would have avoided a few years ago, and you'd be wise to avoid it now. The large Spectrum-like graphics are blocky, crudely-drawn things, that chug around the screen without the grace you'd expect from people on ice. Stick to Skate Wars. | 34% | |
![]() | Commodore 64/128 | The Olympiad Collection (MicroValue) | A solid sporty compilation. The good graphics give a great atmosphere. | 62% | |
![]() | Commodore 64/128 | Xenomorph (Pandora) | A large adventure with 3D arcadey bits thrown in. It's disk only, and there's a serious amount of disk swapping... and you'll need patience to get used to the control systems... and a bit of brain-power to solve the puzzles... But then, things are so much more rewarding when you have to work at them. | 82% | |
![]() | Commodore 64/128 | Turbo The Tortoise (Codemasters) | Early stages are a bit too easy, but finishing the last two levels is much more tricky... Everything's so well executed you do want to stick with it right to the end. Unfortunately, that end does seem to come depressingly soon! | 85% | |
![]() | Commodore 64/128 | The Cool Croc Twins (Arcade Masters) | A lot of fun... There's certainly enough here to keep you playing for absolutely ages. | 83% | |
![]() | Commodore 64/128 | European Football Champ (Domark) | Euro Football Champ isn't as good as Kick Off 2. It's slower and much simpler to play. Keeping possession and stuff like that is handled better, but it's just too jerky (and there's no aftertouch or replay system). Pity, because it could have been the best thing since Jackie Charlton. | 76% |
