---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() | Acorn Electron | Play It Again Sam 9 (Superior/Acornsoft) | With the exception of Mr. Davis's contribution, good old Sam's done it again. | 80% | |
![]() | Archimedes A3000 | Holed Out! (The 4th Dimension) | The graphics are effective and have amusing little touches like the ripples when the ball hits water and sand flying into the air when you are trying to get out of a bunker. | 90% | |
![]() | Acorn Electron | Play It Again Sam 8 (Superior/Acornsoft) | A reasonable collection, although I've had enough of Repton... If you lack one of the games, it's a good buy - if you're missing two or more it's a bargain. | 90% | |
![]() | BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Predator (Superior/Acornsoft) | This is another Peter Scott work... which guarantees that it's as good a rendition on the BBC Micros could be achieved. | 80% | |
![]() | Archimedes A3000 | Crossword Call Up (NORICC) | XWord contains puzzles of a high standard but is let down slightly by a few minor niggles. | 70% | |
![]() | Archimedes A3000 | Overload (Clares Micro Supplies) | Games of this type need to be finely balanced between frustration and difficulty... On this occasion, I think that the authors have made it slightly too difficult. | 70% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Spectrum Sprites (Interactive Software People) | A little re-programming will solve the problems with this... ISP should have done this, not the customer. | 58% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Drum Kit (Quicksilva) | All rhythms and voices can be saved... Results are often satisfying and easily achieved. | 89% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Cu*Bert (Stainless) | Although the program worked without interruption for several runs, it subsequently crashed with a Bad Value. | 71% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Breakpoint (Stainless) | Detailed graphics make this enjoyable to play and watch. | 80% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | The Screen Machine (Interactive Software People) | There are easier designers on the market, with more facilities... The 95 extra graphics have a copyright notice, which renders them useless. | 41% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Englishskills 2 (Griffin) | Even those things which are included here could all be fitted onto a few sheets of A4 paper with the answers on the back. | 30% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Wordskill (Chalksoft) | Does it encourage "immaginative thinking" and "correct spelling"? I can't say I'm convinced. | 54% | |
![]() | Memotech | Maths 1 (Continental) | Nothing more than an attempt to take advantage of the gullibility of parents. | 19% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Storyline (Daco) | This is one of those programs where more time and thought could have improved matters greatly. In particular, you need to be offered a much wider choice of words. | 50% | |
![]() | Acorn Electron | Science 1 (Shards) | The package could help those preparing for O-Level or CSE. | 89% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Wordgram (Daco) | Children will find the idea interesting to say the least. | 63% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Frac Attack (Shards) | Whilst this program won't teach the concepts, it will certainly motivate children to get plenty of practice. | 94% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Chemical Simulations (Acornsoft) | A good program... There is a list of questions that may be asked by the student. | 80% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Readright (Daco) | This will only be of help to your child if this matches the method used in its school and should not be used without consultation. | 66% |
