---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() | TI99/4A | TI Invaders (Texas Instruments) | Space Invaders as a game is getting a bit obsolete and boring, but it's not TI's fault and this is a good game despite the limitations of the game concept. | 60% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Microbe (Virgin Games) | Sound was used very well, and all in all this is a very fast and enjoyable game. | 81% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Barmy Burgers (Blaby Computer Games) | Sound is good... and enhances the game considerably. Restarts automatically... an annoying feature. | 41% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | Tank Atak (Supersoft) | Sound and graphics are used to the full in this imaginative game. | 73% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Red Riding Hood (Arrow) | Sound and graphics are of such high standard that the child's attention is kept and it is drawn on to the next activity. | 89% | |
![]() | Commodore Vic 20 | Space Assault (Lyversoft) | Sorry, Lyversoft - against the large amount of opposition, this game doesn't stand much chance of success. | 54% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | Gumshoe (A 'n F) | Sometimes when you go down a chute, the game goes into an endless loop, displaying various title screens which change as you press the fire button. | 60% | |
![]() | BBC/Electron | Crack It! Towers (Mirrorsoft) | Something quite out of the ordinary and, for my money, it's a real winner. | 90% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Monte Carlo (Micromega) | Somehow, even though the idea is simple, unoriginal, and I'm not a gambler, the programs held my attention. | 90% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Mr. D (SP Software) | Some variation in the graphics and a high score table might add more interest to what is otherwise a very repetitive game. | 56% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Auto-Sonics (Buttercraft) | Some sounds are difficult to obtain, due to the sluggishness of ZX Basic. | 65% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Do Not Pass Go (Work Force) | Some of the displays are difficult to read because of an ill-chosen combination of paper and ink. | 80% | |
![]() | Dragon 32 | Klartz And The Dark Forces (Dungeon) | Some excellent programming... Each of the five zones is almost a whole adventure in itself... Will keep the adventurer busy for some time. | 75% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Crossword Puzzler (Microtrust) | Solving a crossword is a little tedious, as Word-Play always requires explicit answers to questions. | 73% | |
![]() | BBC/Electron | Jet Set Willy II (Tynesoft) | The author, Chris Robson, has made each screen a separate series of puzzles for which a solution is often obscure. | 80% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Snooker (Acornsoft) | Snooker is a very addictive game and this on-screen version will prove just as grabbing. | 70% | |
![]() | BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Paranoid Pete (Ubik Software) | Smashing graphics... Only lacks variation, the different levels leading to more of the same rather than great changes of concept. | 78% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Up Periscope (Stainless) | Slow and ultimately boring. | 58% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K/128K | The Last Jedi (Amazing Games) | Slow and tedious... Lightsabre is misspelt throughout. | 52% | |
![]() | Acorn Electron | Maths Invaders (Stell) | Slow and boring... A great idea but poorly implemented. | 61% |
