---|---|---|---|---|---|
BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Retribution X (The Yorkshire Boys) | A joy to behold... It was presumably the only BBC 'megademo' of its type. | 87% | ||
BBC/Electron | Strip Poker II Plus (Anco) | Load it up, play it through, and make sure you never touch it again. | 12% | ||
BBC/Electron | Shanghai Warriors (Players) | It's bad. And dressing up the packaging as some sort of 'Under Siege' movie seems a particularly low move, even though the game only retailed for £1.99. | 1% | ||
Acorn Electron | Aeronautical Dogfight 2 (Ultrasoft) | Watch out for an amazing introductory sequence with inventive Mode 2 colour switching deceiving the eye into seeing six flying stars weave into a circle! | 22% | ||
BBC/Electron | Hobgoblin II (Atlantis) | Utterly brill and totally playable! | 90% | ||
Acorn Electron | Ten Little Indians (Channel 8) | If you really like Scott Adams' games or the idea of being a treasure hunter and the thought of a maze doesn't make you feel ill then you should enjoy this one. | 55% | ||
BBC/Electron | The Living Body (Martech) | How to win some of the programs is shrouded in mystery... I lean more towards recommending you give it a miss than a go. | 24% | ||
![]() | TI99/4A | Farmer (Stainless) | Very unimpressive. The only variety provided is by a few changes in screen colour. | 32% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | Brain Strain (ASN) | This is a very professional and well-written piece of software which gives the conventional Mastermind game new appeal. | 68% | |
![]() | Oric 48K | Dallas (Cases Computer Simulations) | There are several bugs in the program and, in business terms too, I felt the game was ill-judged. | 45% | |
![]() | Jupiter Ace | Moo And Hangman (Jupiter Cantab) | The graphics are rather imaginative, for if you win the little man leaps free from the scaffold, saved in the nick of time! | 79% | |
![]() | Oric 16K | Games Compendium (Salamander) | The cassette is well-packaged, but the standard of the programs is reminiscent of those available in the early days of the ZX81 - poor! | 40% | |
![]() | Commodore Vic 20 | Xerus (Electronic Leisure) | The quality of graphics and animation were fair but the sound effects were annoying in the extreme. | 78% | |
![]() | Commodore Vic 20 | Space Phreeks (Rabbit) | I enjoyed this game, as I enjoy many shoot-the-alien games. But the whole thing is just a touch predictable. | 60% | |
![]() | Commodore Vic 20 | Myriad (Rabbit) | Undoubtedly the best space game available for the Vic, and at a reasonable price as well. | 91% | |
![]() | Commodore Vic 20 | Shape Up (A.S.K.) | The last couple of shapes can take ages - one of the few poor design features in an otherwise well thought-out program. | 74% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Happy Math (Micro Leaf Microwave) | Excellent use of graphics... If the correct answer to a problem is input, you are presented with a smiling face and two hands, one of which waves at you. | 65% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Fracts (Cottage) | Maths is about understanding, not about learning rules, and this program does little to encourage such understanding. | 35% | |
![]() | Camputers Lynx | Numerons (Camsoft) | The numerous variations... add up to a game which can be re-played many times without losing interest. | 81% | |
![]() | Commodore Vic 20 | Number Puzzler (A.S.K.) | Those of age six upwards will get best value for money from these two games. | 80% |
