Machine | Review Of | Quote | Score | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
TI99/4A | Five-a-Side Soccer (Texas Instruments) | The graphics are excellent with the pitch represented perfectly and the teams accurate with moving legs and arms. | 94% | ||
Spectrum 48K | The Pyramid System (Fantasy) | The graphics are excellent and objects disintegrate nicely when zapped. | 90% | ||
Acorn Electron | Empire (Shards) | The graphics are excellent and music in tune. | 98% | ||
BBC Model B | Snorter (Beebug) | The graphics are colourful, and the sound quite good. | 75% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Devils of The Deep (Richard Shepherd) | The graphics are bright and cheery, but all the sectors look much the same. | 69% | ||
BBC Model B | Bug Bomb (Virgin Games) | The graphics are attractive but not spectacular and there are the usual hall of fame facilities to record the scores. | 75% | ||
Atari 400/800 | Up, Up And Away (Starcade) | The graphics are among the best I've ever seen, and the five levels of difficulty will provide a long-lasting challenge. | 86% | ||
Acorn Electron | Crazee Rider (Superior/Acornsoft) | The graphics are acceptable but are of Grand Prix Construction Set quality rather than Revs. | 70% | ||
Spectrum 16K | Firebirds (Softek) | The graphics animation is very good, and the game is very playable, though I didn't find it addictive. | 98% | ||
Acorn Electron | City Defence (Bug Byte) | The graphics and sound in this game are barely adequate... I doubt if it would be worthy of publishing in a magazine. | 50% | ||
Commodore 64 | Battle Through Time (Anirog) | The graphics and sound are well up to standard... It should keep you zapping happily for several hours. | 81% | ||
Commodore 64 | Neoclyps (PSS) | The graphics are amazing, the sound is good and there are quite a lot of options to choose from. | 91% | ||
BBC Model B | Pantry Antics (BBCSoft/BBC Publications) | The graphical animals are very good but the various bits of crockery that fall off the shelves can only be described as rather boring and even shapeless. | 60% | ||
BBC Model B | Darts (Rainbow Research) | The games soon loses its appeal mainly due to the slow speed and lack of good sound effects. | 40% | ||
BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Play It Again Sam 12 (Superior/Acornsoft) | The games can't be faulted and for just under a tenner represent good value for money. | 90% | ||
Commodore 64 | Domino 6/Domino 9 (Challenger) | The games are good value as they stand and are recommended. | 85% | ||
Acorn Electron | Astro Plumber (Blue Ribbon) | The gameplay is extremely hard and this detracts from an otherwise good game for the asking price. | 80% | ||
Dragon 32 | Manic Miner (Software Projects) | The game, like its excellent successor, is almost sure to become a classic, and its sales on the Dragon show that Roy Coates has taken Matthew Smith's formula and implemented it just as well on the Dragon. | 90% | ||
Commodore 64 | Jet Power Jack (Micro Power) | The game, though not conspicuously original, is a very good one of its type, and great fun to play. | 81% | ||
BBC Model B | Sheepdog (Longman) | The game works well and is well error-trapped... but it is extremely repetitive. | 64% |
