Machine | Review Of | Quote | Score | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
BBC Model B | Bug Bomb (Virgin Games) | Screen layout was simple, with good use of colour and sound, and the keys were very responsive. | 91% | ||
Commodore 64 | Turtle Jump (Romik) | A nicely written average game, whose strength is the unusual plot. | 68% | ||
Commodore 64 | Attack On Windscale (Phoenix) | I would recommend it to anyone who does not like 'trial and error' adventures and has a friend who is good at fast arcade games. | 40% | ||
Commodore 64 | Cuthbert In Space (Microdeal) | Sound and graphics just manage the "good" rating in my books. | 63% | ||
Commodore 64 | Duck Shoot (Mastertronic) | The game did not hold my interest for long, partly because there were too many bullet-eating ducks. | 58% | ||
Commodore 64 | Sub Hunt (Mastertronic) | The screen graphics are not outstanding and the game is short on instructions. | 45% | ||
Commodore 64 | Jungle Story (Mastertronic) | This is not a game I can recommend although the idea is quite good. | 50% | ||
Commodore 64 | Squirm (Mastertronic) | The pace was just fast enough to achieve a credible score which might be beaten next time round. | 65% | ||
Commodore 64 | Space Pilot 1 (Anirog) | Space Pilot is a good game which loads well - it only took 80 seconds. | 70% | ||
Commodore 64 | Pub Quest (Dream) | Be prepared for the program to play some jokes on you... I will not say anything else except that you get what you deserve. | 78% | ||
Commodore 64 | Colossus Chess 2.0 (CDS) | The real strength of the game is the huge range of options. | 94% | ||
BBC/Electron | First Steps With The Mr. Men (Mirrorsoft) | The package contains a 24-page full colour book of Roger Hargreaves' stories to explain, and interest the children in the games, plus a direction key template. | 94% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Pathfinder (Widgit) | Well done, Widgit! A real application for a home computer, cleverly executed and which doesn't cost the earth. | 88% | ||
BBC Model B | Fun To Learn (Shards) | It is a good example of how educational software should be written, but some of the games lack imagination. | 83% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Quick Thinking (Mirrorsoft) | Robot Table practises tables in sequence, but then we use them out of sequence in everyday life... It needs a random element. | 94% | ||
Dragon 32 | School Maze (Dragon Data) | My children and their friends liked this game. | 35% | ||
Spectrum 16K | Paragram (Elephant) | Graphics are used adequately to present the relevant information. | 65% | ||
Sinclair ZX81 | Tumble Towers (JRS Software Ltd) | A clever idea, thoughtfully presented and addictive in play. | 86% | ||
Sinclair ZX81 | Who Killed Cock Robin? (JRS Software Ltd) | The graphics are clean, uncluttered and very good. | 70% | ||
TI99/4A | Bombs Away (Lantern) | Colourful use of graphics is made, and despite the speed limitations, movement is not too slow. | 44% |
