---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() | Dragon 32 | Concentrate (MK1) | Quick to respond, fast-paced and good fun. A good educational aid. | 85% | |
![]() | BBC/Electron | Psycastria (Audiogenic) | Psycastria is a very good arcade game let down by rather difficult play. | 80% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Race Fun (Rabbit) | Provides good and colourful graphics and a clear sense of competition with the other cars. | 85% | |
![]() | BBC B/B+/Master 128 | The Last Ninja (Superior/Acornsoft) | Programmer Peter Scott has really come up with the goods this time... Ninja is fast, furious and totally addictive. | 90% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Zip-Zap (Imagine) | Professional packaging, amazing graphics, thoughtful facilities and well priced. | 89% | |
![]() | Jupiter Ace | Monitor (Jupiter Cantab) | Produces a rather untidy display and provides less information than the Remsoft toolkit with which it will inevitably be compared. | 72% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Megaplay 1 (Mastertronic) | Probably worth getting if you need Way Of The Exploding Fist and Galactic Patrol in your collection - the other games will give you some fun but don't buy it just to get them. | 70% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Sheepdog (Longman) | Price is still a reflection of the packaging rather than program quality and graphics are very poor - sheep heads are ampersands! | 56% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Reading Aid 2 (James Nisbet) | Price and unimaginative presentation make this less than a best buy. | 56% | |
![]() | Dragon 32 | Searchword (Temptation) | Pretty dull... You would really have to be very keen on word puzzles to find it enjoyable. | 60% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | The Night Sky (Bridge) | Pretend you're in a different location and then sample its stellar offerings. | 91% | |
![]() | Atari 400/800 | Preppie! II (Adventure International USA) | Preppie II is completely new and once again has incredible music and colour, with a cartoon break between each of the five levels. | 100% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | Frogger 64 (Interceptor Micros) | Potentially a winner... The trouble is that it contains some bugs. | 63% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Maths Utilities Pack 3 (Solway Software) | Possibly only for serious mathematics students. | 55% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Magic Mushrooms (Acornsoft) | Positively encourages creative activity... In a word - excellent. | 95% | |
![]() | BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Barbarian II: The Dungeon Of Drax (Superior/Acornsoft) | Poor graphics, poor gameplay, poor game - oh well, Superior, you can't be right every time. | 70% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Biorhythms/Farmer/Play Your Cards/Snooker (Stainless) | Poor error-trapping gives impossible results... and the program sometimes crashes completely! | 50% | |
![]() | Dragon 32 | El Bandito (Dragon Data) | Playing this gave me a lot of laughs and I shall certainly be playing many more times. | 83% | |
![]() | Jupiter Ace | Othello (Jupiter Cantab) | Playing for long on the small display results in eyestrain... A larger copy of the same board would be a big improvement. | 70% | |
![]() | BBC/Electron | Bug Eyes 2 (Audiogenic) | Playing Bug Eyes 2 is relaxing and enjoyable, and for my money it is one of the best games of its type to date. | 90% |
