---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() | BBC Model B | Son Of Blagger (Alligata) | The presentation is high with all the usual features such as sound on/off and hall of fame. | 70% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Crystal (Scientific) | The predictions, which to the unaccustomed eye might seem fairly useless, may in fact hold a great and deep philosophical meaning to those of us who can understand the complex forms of Nostradamus. | 55% | |
![]() | BBC/Electron | 3D Dotty (Blue Ribbon) | The practice option for all eight screens gives you a chance to fine tune your pattern play before dazzling an audience with your skills. | 70% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Canyon (BBCSoft/BBC Publications) | The perfect family game. | 85% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Number Rally (Longman) | The parents' leaflet reads: "The simulation of a car rally may not be immediately obvious to younger children." In which case why use the idea at all? | 61% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | HMS Home Accounts (Harris Mccutcheon Systems) | The package is over-priced. I realise professional software costs much more, but this is the home market after all. | 32% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | House Of Horrors & Star Strike (Solid) | The package adds up to a very good value for money. | 91% | |
![]() | Sinclair QL | QL Chess (Sinclair Research) | The pack insert claims without modesty "QL-Chess is an outstanding program in every way". I can't disagree with that! | 90% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | Armageddon (Visions) | The original board game version is both cheaper and better. | 48% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Volcanic Planet (Compulogical S.A.) | The only snag with this was dragging myself away from the computer! | 93% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Record Keeper (BBCSoft/BBC Publications) | The only real and difficult problem I found is the small number of records it can keep in a file. | 96% | |
![]() | BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Play It Again Sam 10 (Superior/Acornsoft) | The only new game is Qwak, an entertaining and addictive, if old fashioned, levels game. | 80% | |
![]() | BBC/Electron | Plane Crash (Labyrinth) | The one or two minor bugs don't really spoil this adventure, so it's worth a try. | 70% | |
![]() | Oric 1/Oric 48K | Yahtzi/Knight's Move (Htl) | The object of the game is achieved relatively easily, and the appeal of the game is lost. | 68% | |
![]() | Dragon 32 | Champions! (Peaksoft) | The novelty soon wore off and the routine of management made it hard to persist. | 82% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | The Solar System (Eaglesoft) | The notes make it clear that the information has come from astronomy text books. That being so, the data will be quickly out-dated. | 61% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K/128K | Rock Star Ate My Hamster (Codemasters) | The newspaper headlines cracked me up... Buy it, if only for the silly title. | 70% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Space Hi-Way (Amcom) | The mutating aliens and the danger of running out of fuel, make Space Hi-Way a well balanced 'fun' game worthy of greatness. | 63% | |
![]() | BBC/Electron | Ice Hockey (Bug Byte) | The music is jolly and the ricocheting puck is quite amusing but there is not enough here to hold my interest. | 50% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Snooker (Visions) | The movement of the balls is a little less fluid than I would like. | 81% |
