---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() | TI99/4A | Shuttle Command (FFF) | The movement of both stars and satellites in response to keypresses begins to rival machine code on other machines. | 85% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Dogfight (Opus) | I recommend this program without reservation... Graphics and sound effects are excellent, but the on-screen instructions are beyond compare; I certainly have never seen or heard anything like them. | 96% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Data Plot (Serious Applications) | A clever and worthwhile piece of software which deserves further development. | 74% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Wallaby (Superior) | The whole game is likely to pale after a few days and lacks that vital extra quality to make it great. | 73% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Advance to Mayfair (Amazing Games) | Amazing Games have transformed an excellent board game into a very boring computer game - not recommended. | 40% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Greedy Green Grabbers (Stainless) | It can become impossible... Your man can be superimposed on a grabbed, bringing the game to an unsporting and rather abrupt end. | 60% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Smash And Grab (Superior) | Well done, Superior! I've had to steal myself away from it just to get the review written. | 100% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Castle of Dreams (Widgit) | Very easy to beat... I'm not convinced that the intended user will settle for a simplified adventure in place of the real thing. | 96% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Adventure Playground (Widgit) | Together with its colour manual and careful structure, Adventure Playground is streets ahead in terms of value. | 100% | |
![]() | Dragon 32 | Logo (Dragon Data) | This is an extensive and robust implementation, but I do think that the price is a real drawback. | 70% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | My First Adventure (Jolly Rogers) | The instructions supplied give a brief description of what adventure games are all about and the basic principles involved. | 44% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | Look Sharp (Mirrorsoft) | You can practise before taking the final test... Both sides of this tape give good value. | 83% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | Hercules (Interdisc) | Not a game for the faint-hearted, you need the determination of Hercules to play. | 50% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Sinbad (Virgin Games) | Lacks lasting interest and my guess is that it won't wear very well because of the sheer impossibility of later stages. | 65% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | Trollie Wallie (Interceptor Micros) | Worth buying just for the music, the high standard of gaming is a bonus. | 71% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Pi-In-'Ere (Automata) | A well worn game pattern, and well worth playing. | 98% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | Fred (Quicksilva) | The cassette inlay says Commodore 64 and joystick, so I was surprised to find a keyboard option, using an unusual but workable combination of keys. | 74% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | Election Trail (Braingames) | Has educational value and is interesting. | 64% | |
![]() | Acorn Electron | Alien Break-In (Romik) | There is never a chance to complete a screen or jump a level... This makes the game so much less enthralling. | 64% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | Fame Quest (Braingames) | Self explanatory and very well set out. | 73% |
