---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() | BBC Model B | Language Tutor (Rainbow Research) | Sloppy... sloppy... sloppy programming. The program crashed out and... was littered with other loopholes and deficiencies. | 23% | |
![]() | Sinclair ZX81 | Super Nine (Romik) | Six of the nine programs are of the "shoot when you see the yellow of their eyes" type, aliens zapped and capowed in various unspeakable ways. | 48% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Bouncing Bugs (Stainless) | Since there is no random element, before long the exact requirements to land the bugs can be remembered. | 65% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Screenplay (Compusoft) | Simply a pleasant diversion for a few minutes and, as such, not worth the money, I'm afraid. | 50% | |
![]() | Oric 1/Oric Atmos | Memory Game (Stour Computing) | Simple, but fun, this game would appeal to the younger members of the family. | 69% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Quasimodo/Q-Bono (Stainless) | Simple yet addictive games. | 84% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K | Invasion Force (Artic Computing) | Simple but addictive, and makes a change from the usual 'Bang-Bang, kill the aliens' format. | 71% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Postman's Knock (Lizard Games) | Similar to a Ski-run-type program, but it has sufficient additional elements to make it quite amusing. | 86% | |
![]() | BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Sim City (Superior/Acornsoft) | Sim City is a totally engrossing game that you will be playing for many months to come. | 95% | |
![]() | Acorn Electron | Diamond Mine II (Blue Ribbon) | Should the pipework clear a screen, a harder mine soon appeared and after ten such, the screens become invisible. | 80% | |
![]() | BBC/Electron | Dead Or Alive (Alternative) | Shoot it like the dog it is. | 50% | |
![]() | BBC/Electron | Shark (Audiogenic) | Shark is a simple and bracing shoot-anything-that-moves-before-it-gets-you type of game. | 90% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | The Complete BBC (Audiogenic) | Several have already been good sellers at their full price, thus making the package even more attractive. | 80% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Maths Flash Astronaut (Stainless) | Several difficulty levels are included, the response time allowed in each becoming less. | 94% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Sir Slurp-A-Lot (Christine Computing) | Select the time from 45 seconds to three minutes then race Sir Slurp-A-Lot through the maze, imbibing the various drinks as he goes. | 71% | |
![]() | Dragon 32/64 | Sir Lancelot (Alton) | Seems ideally suited to those who, struggling with more complex adventures, get frustrated easily. | 83% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Persac/Blitz (Pasesoft) | Screen display and sound are good, but I lost interest in both games as there is no increase in degree of difficulty and play became repetitious. | 66% | |
![]() | BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Play It Again Sam 12 (Superior/Acornsoft) | Sam 12 has three good games and Blagger. | 90% | |
![]() | Dragon 32 | Franklin's Tomb (Salamander) | Salamander has maintained its usual high quality but it is a bit pricey. | 83% | |
BBC Model B | Mystery Of The Java Star (Shards) | Ruined by part four, falls into the same league as Pettigrew's Diary. Not recommended and will probably very rarely be completed. | 33% |
