---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() | Spectrum 48K/128K | The Wrath Of Magra (Carnell) | If I were a keeper of knowledge, instead of a mere reviewer, I would limit this game only to those who are firmly on the path. | 100% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Ziggurat (Software Supersavers) | Ziggurat seems to be based around a 5 x 5 grid with puzzles limited to a few locked doors, although one does require you to get the better of a particularly ravenous tiger. | 28% | |
![]() | Acorn Electron | Gauntlet (Micro Power) | The graphics are excellent, as is the sound... Uses two modes at the same time, which produces a stunning effect. | 88% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Roboactive (Absolute) | The robots bear a remarkable resemblance to those which appeared in an American science fiction film a few years ago. | 79% | |
![]() | Amstrad CPC464 | Star Avenger (Kuma Computers) | Certain to provide hours of entertainment for anyone quick enough on the trigger. | 91% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Tank Atak (Stainless) | It is unlikely that the game will have much appeal to any but the most hardened alien-zapper. | 70% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Loony Lander (Software Supersavers) | This piece of software deserves its low price - any more and it could justifiably be called a ripoff! | 35% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Astronut (Software Projects) | The differences in control and the execution of the concept, in addition to unusual layouts, make this a must. | 98% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | Quango (Interceptor Micros) | The quality of the game is high and keeps the player interested. | 75% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Grand Prix Manager (Silicon Joy) | By comparison with arcade games the graphics are crude, amusing even... I found the challenge of balancing the various factors irresistible. | 83% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Xaviour (PSS) | Excellent if you don't object to the similarity to Atic Atac. | 100% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | The Magic Roundabout (CRL) | Crude monochrome graphics... Isn't up to the latest standards; not even as good as some games that only cost £1.99! | 60% | |
![]() | Oric 48K | Joystick Interface (Pasesoft) | There are several games around at present using the Pase interface, but not enough to warrant the price. | 80% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Clares Joysticks (Clares Micro Supplies) | Firm favourites... Even the simple drawing program on the leaflet which accompanies them is good fun. | 100% | |
![]() | Dragon 32/64 | Sound Extension Module (JCB Microsystems) | A further two 8-bit input/output ports are available as an added bonus which could be used to control external devices. | 80% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K/48K | Recording Level Meter (Hilderbay) | Very easy to use. The first time I used it I managed to load first time two tapes that had been proving very difficult. | 100% | |
![]() | Sinclair ZX81 | ZX Tape Loader (Elinca Products) | The battery retaining clip is not very effective, but to be fair, you wouldn't be throwing the thing about (would you?). | 100% | |
![]() | Atari 400/800 | Krazy Kopter (English) | It is difficult to achieve anything... The game is very fast, even at the lowest level. | 74% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Chopper Rescue (Blaby Computer Games) | A true arcade quality game with an original plot (I believe), with excellent sound effects, well-chosen colours and a high degree of skill required. | 81% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K | Heathrow (Hewson Consultants) | The instruction leaflet is necessarily lengthy to go into the many facets of the program but for the most part directions are well explained. | 79% |
