---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() | BBC Model B | Hacker 2000 (Micrograf) | There is only one problem with this game - it doesn't last long enough. I solved it in only a few hours. | 90% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Tomb Of Dracula (K-Tel) | There is nothing new here in concept or execution, so I think it must join a legion of similar programs that are something less than top flight. | 60% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Crazy Fruit (Logic Systems) | There is no winning combination table (is it really so obvious to everyone?) and it lets you 'hold' winning combinations on occasions. | 45% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Armada (Stainless) | There is little point in two people competing, since it may be the computer that decides the winner, not necessarily skill. | 41% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Braintwisters 2 (Stainless) | There is a time limit on how long you have to respond, which decreases as you reach higher levels. | 88% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Steve Davis Snooker (CDS) | There have been snooker and pool simulations for the Beeb before, of course, but this is the best. | 70% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | Star Commando (Terminal) | There are various colourful, noisy, deadly nasties and seven levels, culminating in Star Commando wings. | 80% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Floorway (Stainless) | There are two versions of the game on tape, each works adequately. | 81% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K | Element Serpent (Cloud 9) | There are three levels, level one being elements that I am sure most of us have heard of, and level three more complex. | 73% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Bel Graph (Bel Tech) | There are some problems. One causes the data to be badly formatted, overlapping in places, and the other prevented me from plotting a line graph at all - giving an error message every time. | 76% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | 3D Race (Stainless) | There are some pretty sophisticated car racing games on the market and, to be fair, 3-D Race does not come up to their standard. | 85% | |
![]() | Sord M5 | Tank Battalion (Computer Games) | There are some nice touches to this game, such as different street patterns for successive screens, realistic explosions, two players option and nice tunes. | 58% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Last Sunset For Lattica (Arcade) | There are some bugs - androids occasionally fail to die when hit, and your gun jams when it should fire. | 50% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K/48K | VU-Calc (Sinclair Research) | There are so many possible ways of using this program that it may take some time to realise its full potential. | 88% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Word Processor (Quicksilva) | There are so many different things to remember that I would have appreciated a leaflet or small booklet to refer to. | 70% | |
![]() | Dragon 32 | Alien Oddessy (Bamby) | There are quite a few good adventures now available for the Dragon, and I wouldn't pay more than £4.50 for this one. | 48% | |
![]() | Oric 16K | House Of Death (Tansoft) | There are no graphics as such apart from an introductory picture, and I found the screen scrolling a little annoying since not much information is available to view at any one time. | 78% | |
![]() | Dragon 32 | Avenger (Krypton Force) | There are nine levels of difficulty which determine the number of lives you begin with. | 73% | |
![]() | BBC/Electron | Commonwealth Games (Tynesoft) | There are many thousands of satisfied Winter Olympics owners; I suspect there will be very satisfied Commonwealth Games owners as well. | 80% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Soccer Supremo (Dromeda) | There are lots of things to think about, but thanks to a very detailed set of on-screen instructions, you will soon get the hang of it. | 92% |
