---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Detective (Argus Press) | Initially great fun but not a long-lasting favourite. | 73% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Vanquisher (Elephant) | The average player does not have the motivation to be patient with a game like this. | 68% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Timeline/Tasks (Gilsoft) | On seeing that Tasks was yet another maze game my first reaction was to groan but it is rather different in concept. | 73% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K | Backgammon (Hewson Consultants) | This game could be criticised for not having ultra-mega amazing graphics and sound, but these are more than made up for by the skilled programming. | 88% | |
![]() | BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Lift Off With Numbers (Shiva) | Documentation is very good with plenty of extra activities suggested too. | 81% | |
![]() | Amstrad CPC464 | Heathrow International Air Traffic Control (Hewson Consultants) | Accompanying the cassette is a comprehensive instruction booklet, which is easily understood. | 98% | |
![]() | Amstrad CPC464 | Hisoft Pascal (Amsoft) | Experienced programmers looking for another language will find plenty of power in this pricey package. | 93% | |
![]() | Atari 400/800 | Colossus Chess (English) | The best computer chess I have ever seen... beginners and experts alike. | 93% | |
![]() | Commodore 16 | Cuthbert And The Tombs Of Doom (Microdeal) | If you have seen this on the C64 and liked it, then rush out and buy this version, because it's just as good. | 90% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | Perils Of Bear George (Cheetahsoft) | The delays while you wait for George to recover consciousness are tedious... I really can't recommend this one. | 56% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | Thrusta (Software Projects) | If you find a lot of arcade games too difficult, take a look at this one. | 61% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | Zaga Mission (Anirog) | Try this before you buy it... I couldn't watch the red and white bricks for long without getting eye-ache. | 75% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Superchess 3.5 (CP) | The screen display is rather plain and unimaginative, but there is so much going for this program that such a slight blemish can easily be over-looked. | 78% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Heathrow International Air Traffic Control (Hewson Consultants) | I'm sure that, with plenty of practice, one would master the problems of landing the aircraft safely before the thirty minutes time limit's up. | 50% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Software Star (Addictive Games) | There are too few graphics, just page after page of questions, and figures; the only slight excitement being the rise of your game up the software charts. | 25% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | Choplifter (Ariolasoft) | I liked playing this. Deciding where to land and outwitting the tanks gave a certain satisfaction. | 65% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | Cad Cam Warrior (Taskset) | A landmark in screen numbers perhaps, but not one of the greats. | 82% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | The Witch's Cauldron (Mikro-Gen) | I continually ended up in a mousehole - in a mousetrap, unable to answer the mouse's riddle, so he ate me! | 68% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | David's Midnight Magic (Ariolasoft) | As you become more skilled you can change the plunger spring tension via the function keys to gain extra control. | 55% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | Tristan And Isolde (CRL) | Success seems to require luck rather than skill, there being very few puzzles to solve. | 70% |
