---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() | Spectrum 16K | Patience (Haven Hardware) | You don't have to shuffle the cards, and it's also impossible to cheat, since the computer's error-checking is very thorough. | 43% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Model B Invaders (IJK) | You can set up your own game by varying any of the features; fast or slow missiles, shields or no shields, even invisible Invaders! | 88% | |
![]() | Commodore Vic 20 | Cyclons (Rabbit) | You can select one of three options, or combine them to give the difficulty of your choice. | 76% | |
![]() | Dragon 32 | Golf (Salamander) | You can play by yourself or with one other player to the standard Stableford points system used for competition golf. The cassette is nicely packaged too. | 81% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Curse Of The Seven Faces (Artic Computing) | You get the option to save a game... I can't imagine many wanting to ever come back to it! | 28% | |
![]() | Colour Genie | Space Invaders (Molimerx) | Written in machine language and... capable of very fast action at the higher level of difficulty. | 58% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Crystal Castles (U. S. Gold) | Wouldn't keep the average termite amused for more than five minutes. | 50% | |
![]() | Dragon 32 | Cuthbert Goes Walkabout (Microdeal) | Won't set the world alight, but very entertaining, and something I can see myself coming back to. | 40% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K/128K | Cycle Planner/Growth Tester (Medidata) | Won't sell in the same numbers as space games, which is a pity, for it's much more useful and educational than Invaders. | 70% | |
![]() | BBC/Electron | Cricket (Bug Byte) | Without the bugs the game would have been nothing special. With them, it is a complete washout. | 40% | |
![]() | BBC B/B+/Master 128 | The Hunt (Robico) | Without doubt the best graphic adventure I have seen for any home micro... An essential purchase. | 100% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Zzoom (Imagine) | Without doubt the best combat game, so far, that I have played on the Spectrum. | 100% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Graphics System (Salamander) | With this program, a wonderful canvas is created to play with or work on. | 94% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Home Accounts (AM Electronics) | With the bank check option, the convoluted instructions become mind-boggling and could cause inadvertent entry or deletion of items, with disastrous consequences to the opening balance. | 49% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | Black Knight (Simulated Interdisc) | With such brilliant graphics it could be a winner, but there are hoards of irritating details putting you off. | 62% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K | Muncher! (Silversoft) | With so many similar games on the market, I would have liked to see more variety and imagination. | 69% | |
![]() | Dragon 32/64 | Super Cassette A (Melbourne House) | With so many good games (fifteen on cassette A) these tapes have to be a good buy and I recommend both of them. | 93% | |
![]() | Acorn Electron | Kamakazi (A 'n F) | With so many good games in this price range, I see no future for Kamakazi. | 55% | |
![]() | Sord M5 | Up Up Balloon (Computer Games) | With professional touches like two-player and joypad options, Up Up Balloon is well worth its hefty price. | 91% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Star Trek 3000 (DK Tronics) | With practice, I believe you could become quite adept at controlling the ship and perhaps somewhere in the program, there might be a compliment from Spock waiting to get out! | 93% |
