---|---|---|---|---|---|
Spectrum 16K | Espionage (Modular Resources) | Instead of the free pen, etc, the money would have been better spent on programming and printing. | 23% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Software Star (Addictive Games) | Not as challenging as other simulations, and rather overpriced for what it is. | 70% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Finders Keepers (Mastertronic) | Not original, but a high quality treatment of some well-loved concepts at a keen price. | 98% | ||
BBC Model B | Holy Horrors (Romik) | The pictures are detailed, interesting, colourful and drawn quickly... They appear only on your first visit and don't seem to add much to the verbal description at all. | 50% | ||
BBC Model B | The Music Box (Selective) | Pictures are good and keep the interest very well... This is thought-provoking and easy to use. | 88% | ||
Amstrad CPC464 | Flexifriend (Camel) | Not for the faint hearted as the results of running this program can be terrifying. | 88% | ||
BBC Model B | The Blandford Family Quiz (Blandford Press) | Overall, I would prefer the family to buy a whole range of quiz books or even a record book so they can write their own rather than buy this package at its exorbitant price. | 11% | ||
Amstrad CPC464 | Flight Path 737 (Anirog) | Workable, but not really recommendable to budding Amstrad pilots. | 53% | ||
Amstrad CPC464 | Jewels Of Babylon (Interceptor Micros) | The most pleasurable adventure I have seen. The computer's vocabulary is extensive, making communication more responsive. | 100% | ||
Oric 1/Oric 48K | Tyrann (No Man's Land) | For those who enjoy adventurers, Tyrann should be different enough to be worth a try. | 65% | ||
Amstrad CPC464 | Return To Eden (Level 9 Computing) | Another imaginative game from a company specialising in Level 9 Computing. A midnight oil burner. | 90% | ||
Amstrad CPC464 | Crystal Theft (Wiccasoft) | Accompanying the cassette is an adequate instruction booklet and lengthy prologue to this fascinating adventure. | 95% | ||
Commodore 64 | African Safari (Interdisc) | According to the instructions, an experienced adventurer should be able to complete this game in fourteen days. | 74% | ||
BBC/Electron | The Last Of The Free (Audiogenic) | Graphically simple but the routes through the screens are cunning. | 70% | ||
BBC/Electron | Galactic Patrol (Mastertronic) | Galactic Patrol is less than impressive. If it is given away with Cornflakes I suggest you buy another brand. | 20% | ||
Acorn Electron | Mikie (Imagine) | Mikie was never destined to be a blockbuster, but a little more care on the graphics side would have been greatly appreciated. | 60% | ||
BBC/Electron | Vindaloo (Tynesoft) | Raj moves at the right speed, but you have to spend too long waiting for the bridges, lifts or elasticated animals to be in the correct places. | 50% | ||
BBC/Electron | US Drag Racing (Tynesoft) | Will get the adrenaline pumping as you desperately try to beat the opposition. | 60% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Manic Miner (Bug Byte) | Original and amusing as well as hard to master, and I haven't enjoyed a game so much since I first encountered Donkey Kong. | 50% | ||
Oric 48K | Candy Floss/Hangman (IJK) | A fun educational game, for adults almost as much as for younger players, but one that won't get played more than a few times. | 30% |
