---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() | Spectrum 16K | Space Raiders (Sinclair Research) | Though the principle of this game is well established by now, this implementation is particularly good. | 86% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | The Apostrophe (Sinclair Research) | Though some use is made of large characters and even a user-defined apostrophe, when the exercises are printed, it's in the normal Spectrum character set, and the apostrophe is all but lost on the Spectrum's shimmering screen. | 73% | |
![]() | Sinclair ZX81 | Mines Of Saturn/Return To Earth (Mikro-Gen) | Though I found no bugs as such, there was some evidence of bad design. | 63% | |
![]() | Sinclair ZX81 | QS Scramble (Quicksilva) | Though competently produced and executed, it is rather boring compared to other versions of the game on the market. | 65% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | The Saga Of Erik The Viking (Mosaic) | Thoroughly recommended for all adventure players. | 82% | |
![]() | BBC/Electron | Microball (Alternative) | This would easily sell on merit as a full price game and, as a budget release, is an essential purchase. | 70% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Scuba Dive (Durell) | This will keep you happy for some considerable time. | 95% | |
![]() | Acorn Electron | Steve Davis Snooker (CDS) | This was recommended at full price - as a budget release it's unmissable. | 70% | |
![]() | Acorn Electron | European Knowledge (Micro Power) | The variety is one of the notable features of this game and tends to make it much less boring. | 89% | |
![]() | Sord M5 | Dragon Attack (Computer Games) | This type of game is now totally out of date, and I can't see people flocking to buy this. | 66% | |
![]() | BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Avon And Murdac (Topologika) | This two-game disc is an absolute must for any serious adventurer. | 90% | |
![]() | Video Genie | Auto Sonics (Buttercraft) | This tape will no doubt go down well with games specialists. | 88% | |
![]() | Commodore Vic 20 | Insector (Romik) | This struggles even to be mediocre. | 64% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K/48K | White Noise and Graphics (Gilsoft) | This sort of 'toolkit' program needs to be approached with care... More experienced users will often extract the parts they want, building them into their own formats. | 48% | |
![]() | BBC B/B+/Master 128 | White Magic 2 (The 4th Dimension) | This sequel hardly differs at all from the original apart from a slightly modified title screen and the addition of a screen designer. | 90% | |
![]() | BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Repton Thru Time (Superior/Acornsoft) | This Repton group of screens is reputed to be the last that's going to be produced. I wonder. | 80% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Tomb of Akhenaten (Cases Computer Simulations) | This really is total rubbish, even at the cheap price... Avoid it like the plague. | 10% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Speech Marks (Sinclair Research) | This program should be withdrawn and reconsidered. | 65% | |
![]() | BBC Model A & B | Atom Smasher (Romik) | This program may have been lapped up when there was little software available, but I doubt if it will attract many games players now. | 46% | |
![]() | Acorn Electron | Snooker (Visions) | This program attempts and almost succeeds to give the full realism of the game. | 79% |
