---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() | Oric 48K | 3D Maze/Alien Pursuit (Jpg Electronics) | The screen display was very confused, and even in a 2 x 2 maze I didn't know what I was doing or where I was! | 38% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Centipede (Superior) | The screen display is well laid out and smooth in action and the game varies in its start up position and paths taken. | 75% | |
![]() | Atari 400/800 | Super Catalog/The Filing Clerk (Home Entertainment) | The screen display is not as clear as I would like although it is adequate for the purpose. | 73% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Blue Dragon (MP) | The screen display is attractive and uncluttered with a good use of colour. | 85% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K | Taipan (Jaysoft) | The same financial tactics applying to nearly every game with little change in the structure of play. | 51% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | GP COPY (Logic Systems) | The routine was very easy to use, only requiring the press of any key to produce the printout. | 82% | |
![]() | Acorn Electron | Rombox Plus (Slogger) | The Rombox fits in nicely with the Acorn Plus 1 and Acorn Plus 3, or can be used on its own. | 82% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | Cricket 64 (CRL) | The red on green messages should be changed to black on green to make them more legible. | 60% | |

![]() | Acorn Electron | Play It Again Sam 7 (Superior/Acornsoft) | The real gem is the previously unreleased Firetrack. This technically brilliant piece of programming makes a fine game which proves to be very fast and addictive. | 80% | |
![]() | Oric 1/Oric Atmos | Can You Spell? (Mellowsoft) | The quality of graphics and tunes played are superb and should help to keep the wandering attention of a young child. | 86% | |

![]() | BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Play It Again Sam 7 (Superior/Acornsoft) | The quality is excellent, and though two of the games are re-releases of old titles, they are still fun to play. | 90% | |

![]() | BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Grafdisk And Grafkey (Clares Micro Supplies) | The programs all failed however to exploit the full capability of the BBC graphic commands. | 63% | |
![]() | BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Galaforce (Superior/Acornsoft) | The programmer has returned to the days when games were simpler in concept and shown how fast, versatile, dazzling and astounding a well-coded game on the Beeb can be. | 90% | |
![]() | Commodore Vic 20 | Countdown (Paramount) | The programmer has gone to town on the graphics and colours. | 90% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Mad Martha (Mikro-Gen) | The program understands a fair number of words and is very easy to communicate with. | 78% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Wallaby (Stainless) | The program runs smoothly unless you attempt to move sideways off screen... then it crashes with a "Bad Value". | 85% |
