---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() | Commodore 64 | Aliard's Tome (Romik) | This is a purely text based adventure... Only 35 rooms... Not earth shattering, but it's worth the effort. | 82% | |
![]() | MSX | Pitfall II: Lost Caverns (Activision) | Hugely entertaining... Relatively low frustration levels without being too easy. | 98% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Fast Frog Plus Norbert (Pewterware) | Excellent! Poor sprite coincidence detection permits you some leeway, which actually adds to the enjoyment of the game...! | 91% | |
![]() | MSX | River Raid (Activision) | Not particularly original, but nonetheless well presented. | 96% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | Shoot The Rapids (New Generation) | It's a good idea, but unfortunately the graphics aren't special and... there's nothing to make it outstanding. | 78% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Spelling And Phonics Tutor (Maple Leaf Microware) | There is also a lack of adequate keyboard debouncing, which could be readily provided. | 78% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Quiz Package (B. Jackson) | The programs are probably better run under Extended Basic with its superior facilities. | 36% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Time Tutor (Maple Leaf Microware) | Very useful for the parent searching for educational software which will make the computer more than just a toy. | 74% | |
![]() | BBC/Electron | Identify Europe (Kosmos) | The handling of wrong answers is good. Answer that Zurich is the capital of Switzerland, you get: "No, but Zurich is in Switzerland". | 91% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Flight Path (Storm) | The program is aimed at 10-15 year olds... I'd say it's about £12 worth, not over £20. | 80% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Chemal (Camel Micros) | If I was allowed loose in a laboratory the program warned me of my almost certain demise, and this added an extra dimension of interest. | 95% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Fun-Pac (Virgin Games) | A possible nine courses to choose from, each of which has six laps to complete. | 76% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Alcatraz Harry (Mastertronic) | It is sometimes said that you get what you pay for! Here, by comparison, you get more than you pay for. | 90% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Auto Sound Utility (Stainless) | The program was easy to crash, so you need to be careful. | 85% | |
![]() | BBC/Electron | Galadriel In Distress (Potter Programs) | Galadriel had the makings of a super little adventure but remains under-developed. | 60% | |
![]() | Acorn Electron | Micro Power Magic (Micro Power) | For less than 80 pence per program, this must be the bargain of the year! | 80% | |
![]() | BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Future Shock (Tynesoft) | An excellent program which overflows with character and humour. | 90% | |
![]() | BBC/Electron | Kane (Mastertronic) | The game may only cost £1.99 but I can't help feeling Mastertronic will receive a few letters of complaint about this one. | 60% | |
![]() | Acorn Electron | Ravenskull (Superior) | I loved Ravenskull... The puzzles are devious and the correct route is not always obvious but you know instinctively when you're on the right trail. | 90% | |
![]() | Acorn Electron | Repton 3 (Superior) | A must for every Electron user. The game's graphics aren't the greatest I've ever seen but this is soon forgotten as you wrap your mind around the puzzles. | 90% |
