![]() | Acorn Electron | Star Seeker (Mirrorsoft) | If you don't fancy a trip to London, Star Seeker will bring the computer equivalent into your home. | 90% | |
![]() | BBC/Electron | The Dating Game (Acornsoft/Ivan Berg) | Try to see which answers your partner is choosing without them knowing - that's probably the only way The Dating Game will teach you anything you didn't know already! | 65% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Savage Pond (Starcade) | As one screen of amoeba is devoured, more and more problems appear to haunt you, including ferocious dragonfly nymphs, jellyfish and even radioactive waste from a dumper truck! | 80% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Rubble Trouble (Micro Power) | A reasonably good game involving a fair amount of dexterity and strategy in order to succeed. | 80% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Learn About Words (Goldstar) | The program is well packaged, with a good instruction book which even has a section for the child to colour and to write the words in. | 75% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Missile Control (Gemini) | The usual space fight fantasy, brilliantly done. | 95% | |
![]() | BBC/Electron | Heathrow Air Traffic Control (Hewson Consultants) | A really tough test of your reflexes, skills, memory and common sense... Takes some beating! | 60% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Pengi (Visions) | This game is very enjoyable... Probably the closest version of Pengo that you're likely to get on any micro. | 86% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Screwball (MRM) | Not very much above the standard of games that can be copied from magazines these days. | 60% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Test Match (CRL) | Primarily for the enthusiast... Might stimulate interest in the finer points of cricket. | 85% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Castle Assault (MRM) | Castle Assault doesn't have a lot wrong with it, but it's not exciting enough to make an impact on the software charts. | 75% | |
![]() | Acorn Electron | Guardian (Alligata) | Will provide you with many happy hours polishing off the alien landers. | 90% | |
![]() | Acorn Electron | Early Reading (Ampalsoft) | Sorry, not one I'll be encouraging my parents to buy! | 35% | |
![]() | Acorn Electron | Maths 'O' Level Revision Part 1 (Ampalsoft) | The best feature of the programs is the step forward/backward feature. | 20% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Bed Bugs (Optima) | Very difficult to play... As a consequence, very infuriating. | 60% | |
Film | Micro Men (BBC Films) | A throwback to the days of old when the state broadcaster made thought-provoking drama, unfettered as to whether it would garner the viewing figures to compete against Simon Cowell's latest talent show incarnation. | 88% | ||
BBC B/B+/Master 128 | C&VG Collection (C&VG) | An above average selection of programs and, in a league table of collections of this type, it would probably occupy the third or fourth position. | 44% | ||
Acorn Electron | Games For Your Acorn Electron (Virgin Games) | 3D Terror Chase aside, I don't recommend any of these games. | 16% | ||
Acorn Electron | Bumper Bundle (Alligata) | The layout of the level never really changes; the airlock and cave are always in the same place; the alien never gets any more intelligent; collecting the crystals is always just a matter of pure luck. | 31% | ||
BBC/Electron | Das Schloss (Chalksoft) | To be avoided unless you really, really need to learn German on your Elk. | 10% |
