---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() | TI99/4A | Pearl Diver (Lantern) | A choice of two skill levels make this quite enjoyable to play, but it is certainly overpriced. | 84% | |
![]() | Tandy Color Computer 1/2/3 | Crazy Painter (Microdeal) | This game has a touch of Pac Man about it and would probably appeal to those who liked that game. | 53% | |
![]() | Commodore Vic 20 | Vic Avenger (Commodore) | Die-hard traditionalists may like this game but the rest of us gimmick-starved hedonists probably won't. | 45% | |
![]() | Atari 400 | Defender (Atarisoft) | Not a game for people with less than three hands. | 88% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | Scramble 64 (Interceptor Micros) | Not as compulsive as some other games but enjoyable all the same. | 70% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K | Cosmic Debris (Artic Computing) | My family found it so addictive that I had a struggle to get a turn at the keyboard. | 85% | |
![]() | Dragon 32 | And All Because... (B&H) | Despite one or two minor spelling errors, this is a highly entertaining game for all the family... Only four keys are needed, although why the arrow keys for left and right movement were not used is a mystery. | 85% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Blast It (Christine Computing) | I enjoyed playing this game, which is good value for any TI user's money. | 88% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Killer Gorilla (Micro Power) | Excellent graphics and sound effects with good use of colour. | 93% | |
![]() | Oric 1/Oric 48K | Red Devils (Pennant) | This all-Basic program may be a little slow-moving for arcade game enthusiasts. | 53% | |
![]() | Oric 1/Oric 48K | Vanquisher (Elephant) | I doubt whether the program will have any lasting appeal... Once you have completed the puzzle a few times, what else is left to achieve? | 50% | |
![]() | Dragon 32 | Cuthbert Goes Walkabout (Microdeal) | Graphics and colour are used effectively and sound is also used, but I found it irritating after a few plays. | 95% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | Pakacuda (Rabbit) | Deadly boring and as dull as could be. | 22% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Gold Digger (Blaby Computer Games) | The graphics are good and it's fun to play, but one disappointing aspect of the game is that it is possible to find a screen position where the gnashers never find you. | 85% | |
![]() | Dragon 32/64 | Building English (Panda) | There are around a hundred questions available, from which twenty for each test are selected randomly. | 53% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K/48K | Countabout (Longman) | Probably intended for pre-school, infants or lower junior school children who would benefit more from experience with "real" objects. | 32% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K/48K | Hot Dot Spotter (Longman) | £7.95 for a simple program to recognise simple numbers for infants/lower juniors? I'll buy some dominoes instead. | 35% | |
![]() | BBC/Electron | Number Puzzler (Acornsoft/ASK) | If you feel that your child needs practise in mental arithmetic then this program may be for you. | 79% | |
![]() | BBC/Electron | Let's Count (Acornsoft/ASK) | This is one of very few programs I would recommend to parents and schools alike. | 89% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K/48K | Corn Cropper (Cases Computer Simulations) | The excellent presentation and five levels of difficulty make it good fun to play whether you want to think everything through or just have a go. | 84% |
