---|---|---|---|---|---|
Commodore Vic 20 | Alien Blitz (Audiogenic) | The aliens move smoothly, accompanied by the mandatory "heart-beat" sound. | 63% | ||
BBC Model B | Denis Through The Drinking Glass (Applications Software Specialities) | The adventure is surprisingly difficult to solve because of its unorthodox nature - you do have to think in a different sort of way. | 85% | ||
BBC Model B | The Ferryman Awaits (Kansas City Systems) | The adventure is quite likeable even twenty years on from its initial release. | 80% | ||
Acorn Electron | Operation Safras (Shards) | The adventure claims to be a sequel to Pettigrew's Diary but bears little similarity to that other Shards classic, either in make-up or plot. | 80% | ||
BBC Model B | Escape From Orion (Hopesoft) | The addictive value is high, despite a strange choice of colours. | 78% | ||
Acorn Electron | Play It Again Sam 2 (Superior/Acornsoft) | The action, while not quite as blindingly fast as on the BBC Micro, still comes thick and furious. | 90% | ||
BBC/Electron | Percy Penguin (Superior/Blue Ribbon) | The action isn't particularly fast, but it's quite difficult. | 80% | ||
Spectrum 16K | Frenzy (Quicksilva) | The action is very smooth, and once you have got used to the controls the game is a lot of fun. | 96% | ||
Acorn Electron | Lemming Syndrome (Dynabyte) | The absolute option (help) is manageable but the positive option (on your own) is manic. | 85% | ||
BBC/Electron | Holed Out (The 4th Dimension) | The 3D perspective graphics are stunning and the gameplay is interesting and varied. | 90% | ||
Acorn Electron | Cylon Attack (A 'n F) | The 3D graphics are brilliantly laid out, especially taking off and landing sequences. | 95% | ||
Acorn Electron | Bumble Bee (Micro Power) | The graphics are excellent with a good use of colour. | 88% | ||
BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Zenon (Impact) | The game is a lot of fun - it undemanding - and should win some admirers. | 70% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Castle Spellerous (Sinclair Research) | Tests visual discrimination and short term memory only, not spelling. | 85% | ||
Oric 16K | Linkword French (Tansoft) | Technically the package functioned well: the audio tape was particularly clear and professional. | 83% | ||
BBC Model B | Puncman 1 And 2 (Chalksoft) | Teachers can easily insert their own correct text into the DATA statements within the program. | 60% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Dynamic Graphics (Procom Software) | Tape 2 contains an excellent Etch-a-Sketch screen designed with window and re-scaling... it is still sold by, Campbell Systems as Drawmaster. Not revealing this mars a superb package. | 93% | ||
BBC/Electron | Tank Attack (CDS) | Tank Attack is actually rather good and I like it. | 80% | ||
BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Tank Attack (CDS) | Tank Attack is a superb program that really takes the legwork out of wargaming. | 90% | ||
Spectrum 48K/128K | Invincible Island (Richard Shepherd) | Surprisingly, no hints are given within the game itself, although some clues are given in an accompanying program which must be loaded separately. | 68% |
