---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() | BBC Model B | Synthesiser (Worm) | An instruction and information menu is provided which gives comprehensive details on how to use the game. | 86% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Music Maker (Bellflower) | The three main potential uses for this program - composing, replaying tunes and producing manuscript - are all spoilt by the problems - a great pity. | 49% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K/48K | VU-File (Sinclair Research) | This machine-coded program gives a rapid response to all facilities. | 85% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | E. T. (Macronics Systems) | Good value... You have the option of playing each stage individually, or combining all four into one long game. | 68% | |
![]() | Commodore Vic 20 | Wacky Waiters (Imagine) | Having developed a good plot and designed some good graphics, the programmer seems to have run out of steam. | 63% | |
![]() | Commodore Vic 20 | Xeno II (Anirog) | Overall the graphics were good and the game was challenging, addictive and, most of all, frustrating. | 81% | |
![]() | Commodore Vic 20 | Triad (Sumlock) | I can't particularly praise the graphics, and the only added feature is the self-play routine after ten seconds or so if you don't start a new game yourself. | 60% | |
![]() | Commodore Vic 20 | Gridtrap (Sumlock) | The best non-cartridge game available for the unexpanded Vic. | 89% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K/128K | Adding And Subtracting (Widgit) | Wholeheartedly recommended for children of pre-school or infant plus age. | 100% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K | Shape Sorter (Widgit) | These programs will be of great value to young children - but as well as using three-dimensional shapes and objects, not in place of! | 98% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K/48K | Counting (Widgit) | All programs used sound, colour and superb graphics - the animation on Count 100 was better than on some arcade-type Spectrum games! | 98% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Alphabet (Widgit) | I found that children got impatient because they wanted to enter their letter before it was complete. | 90% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K | Primary Arithmetic (Rose Software) | Colour and sound are used effectively... Although this is a useful and valuable program, it could have been improved. | 82% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Invisible Man (Chalksoft) | There isn't enough variety to hold a child's attention for long, and the graphics are nothing special. | 61% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K | Jawz (Elfin) | A must for Invaders connoisseurs who want to try something a little different. | 73% | |
![]() | Sinclair ZX81 | Thro' The Wall (Also Scramble) (Sinclair Research) | The graphics are good, but not exceptional, and both games are written in machine code. | 50% | |
![]() | Sinclair ZX81 | Bumper 7 (Axis) | Even allowing for the limitations of 1K, these are not terribly imaginative games. | 58% | |
![]() | Jupiter Ace | Four Challenging Games (Remsoft) | When your trigger finger gets tired, you'll find it well worth your while to dissect the dictionary to see how they all run. | 90% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K/48K | Joker (Flowchart) | Timing is all-important in joke telling, with even a weak joke raising a laugh if well delivered, but this program's slow pace makes the humour ponderous at best. | 35% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Hangman (Micro Aid) | If you enjoy a challenge as well as word games then this old and tried game is fair value for money - and might even improve your foreign languages. | 71% |
