---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() | TI99/4A | Backgammon (Stainless) | The program overall seems reasonable, but it has little to offer an experienced player. | 60% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Buriabeast (Kerian UK Ltd) | The program often crashed, producing martian-style graphics, but even so, it is one to be recommended. | 66% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | Zodiac (Anirog) | The program makes up in sound for what it lacks in graphics. | 63% | |
![]() | Dragon 32/64 | Tiny Touch 'N Go (Dorling Kindersley) | The program loads data files from tape at regular intervals... Otherwise, it works well. | 86% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Aztec Gold (Lizard Games) | The program itself is a master for any adventure because it is entirely data-driven, the program being loaded first then data read from files. | 77% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Moon Cresta (Incentive) | The program is well done with very fast action and impressive graphics. | 95% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Abersoft Forth (Abersoft) | The program is excellent... The special features are well worth the extra money. | 84% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Duel (Byteware) | The program is entertaining, highly absorbing and very well-thought-out and presented, with good graphics and colour. | 68% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Tower (Stainless) | The program is continually updating the screen display and aircraft data... Trying to input commands seems very slow and can be inaccurate. | 80% | |
![]() | BBC/Electron | Southern Belle (Hewson Consultants) | The program is certainly original. | 70% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Mr. T's Number Games (Ebury) | The program is aimed at children up to about seven years old, but many older children were fascinated by the graphics and simplicity of operation. | 94% | |
![]() | BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Marklist (Optima) | The program has a great deal to offer but could have been so much better if extended. | 65% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Quicker Qwerty (Stainless) | The program has 22 levels which are progressed through one after another. | 84% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | FlexiCalc (Saxon Computing) | The program forms a reasonable introduction to microcomputer spreadsheet techniques. | 58% | |
![]() | Dragon 32 | Animated Alphabet (Dungeon) | The program certainly needs some additional stimulus to make it more worthwhile in the long term. | 68% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Five Little Ducks (Arrow) | The program cannot be fooled by keying in the wrong number - too many cause the extra ducks to fly away and too few cause the task to restart. | 88% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K/48K | Cyrus IS Chess (Sinclair Research) | The problem levels allow you to instruct the computer to look for a mate in one, two or three moves, according to the level set, or find by analysis that this is impossible. | 94% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Aviator (Acornsoft) | The price reflects the quality of the program... This game should be made compulsory for every BBC in school. | 90% | |
![]() | Dragon 32/64 | Disassembler (Hilton Computer Services) | The price is reasonable, but it may still be better to buy Assembler/Disassembler/Editor all in one. | 52% | |
![]() | BBC/Electron | The Times Crosswords Jubilee Puzzles (Akom) | The price for sixty crosswords seems fair but I do wonder how often you'll return to a completed puzzle. | 70% |
