![]() | Spectrum 48K | Rider (Virgin Games) | Rider is good fun... I recommend it. | 89% | |

![]() | Spectrum 48K | Transylvanian Tower (Richard Shepherd) | Response time is slow... You have to hold down the keys for a second or two each time. | 78% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Dodo (Blaby Computer Games) | Response is good, but you need the joystick to get really high scores. | 79% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Codename Mat (Micromega) | Requires much application to learn controls, strategies, stargates, keys and the meaning of the main display. | 60% | |
![]() | BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Repton Infinity (Superior/Acornsoft) | Repton Infinity would be excellent value for games alone but with the creator too... you won't be disappointed. | 90% | |
![]() | Commodore Vic 20 | Reading (Commodore) | Remember that this is a testing package and not a teaching package. | 89% | |

![]() | Sinclair ZX81 | QS Defenda (Quicksilva) | Remarkably fast and surprisingly smooth. | 78% | |

![]() | Spectrum 48K | Spell, 3D (Camel Micros) | Recommended, though I wish Camel had given instructions on the inlay card as well as in the program. | 89% | |
![]() | Dragon 32 | Vultures (J. Morrison Micros) | Recommended to arcade addicts of all ages. | 88% | |
![]() | Dragon 32 | Adventure Plus (Premier) | Recommended if you want a reasonable start to this type of game but once it's completed there are no surprises. | 60% | |

![]() | BBC Model B | Plegaron People Eaters (RH) | Reasonably addictive... and quite enjoyable, but uninspiring. | 63% | |

![]() | Commodore 64 | Fig Forth (Romik) | Reasonable value and recommended for those disenchanted with Basic. | 77% | |
