---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() | Commodore Vic 20 | Hopper (Rabbit) | User-defined graphics are used in a most constructive fashion. | 75% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Keys (Compusoft) | Useful and good value - once debugged. | 56% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Croaker (Micro Power) | Use of graphics and sound is excellent. | 89% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Bruce Lee (U. S. Gold) | US Gold has proved it can convert a first class Commodore 64 game into a third rate BBC version. | 50% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Uridium (Hewson Consultants) | Uridium is excellent - I can recommend it wholeheartedly. | 80% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Vortex (Software Invasion) | Vortex only uses black and white graphics, but this lack of colour is made up for by the quality and speed of the graphics. | 85% | |
![]() | Sinclair ZX81 | Ocean Trader (Quicksilva) | Unlike some games, this one really makes you think before you risk all your worldly goods! | 79% | |
![]() | Oric 1/Oric 48K | Oric Golf (R&R) | Unlike similar software, there is no choice of clubs, and the hazards - bunkers, trees and pond - are rather crude. | 73% | |
![]() | BBC/Electron | Terrormolinos (Melbourne House) | Unlike Hampstead, where the humour seemed laboured, Terrormolinos hits the right note every time. | 80% | |
![]() | Dragon 32 | Decode Tandy/Dragon (Compusense) | Unless you have a vast amount of material to convert, you may be better advised to buy a cassette that performs the same functions, slower but cheaper. | 61% | |
![]() | BBC/Electron | White Magic 2 (The 4th Dimension) | Unless Superior can produce a new blockbuster pretty quick the Repton fan club will soon be turning its attentions to White Magic 2. | 90% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | The Crypt (Carnell) | Uninspiring... Poses a limited challenge as an adventure and is too slow for an arcade game. | 51% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Ugh! (Softek) | Unfortunately, Ugh!'s lasting appeal is questionable because the 'maze' is tiny and there only appears to be one single display. | 80% | |
![]() | BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Winter Olympiad '88 (Tynesoft) | Tynesoft has got it right with Winter Olympiad '88. | 90% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Colditz (LVL) | Two word commands are used and they can't be abbreviated: a lot of typing. | 74% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Sums Are Fun/Taking Away For Fun (Stainless) | Two straightforward programs with two difficulty levels in each. | 73% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Pelmanism (Markat) | Two players only... An option to have four or five competing would be nice, as would an option to compete against the computer. | 71% | |
![]() | BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Joust (Aardvark) | Two player games have always been thin on the ground, and Joust is great fun either with a friend or against the computer. | 90% | |
![]() | Acorn Atom | Cylon Attack (A 'n F) | Two keys control up and down movement and another two are for right and left, making it a little difficult to fire with the space bar. | 73% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K | Magic Worm (Lyndenhurst Ltd) | Twice an "out of memory" message appeared, which of course meant reloading the tape and starting again! | 71% |
