---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() | Commodore Vic 20 | Bongo (Anirog) | Overall, a beauty of a tricky game. | 84% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | Encounter! (Novagen Software Ltd) | Outstanding graphics... The explosions are spectacular as debris flies all over before twinkling away. | 84% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Road Racer (Thorn EMI) | Other keyboard players may find, as I did, that the game crashes (no run) unless any Sinclair printer is detached first. | 89% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | Plumb Crazy (Terminal) | Options, levels, method of scoring and bonus points are pitched about right, so interest is maintained and you're inclined to have "just one more go". | 73% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K/128K/+2/+3 | Operation Gunship (Codemasters) | Operation Gunship is the best budget game of this month, well worth a Smash. | 90% | |
![]() | BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Play It Again Sam 11 (Superior/Acornsoft) | Only Pipeline really stands out... Buy it for Baron, but that's about it. | 70% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Maze Panic (Silicon) | One particularly nice feature: you can examine the Basic program in order to make your own improvements, and each maze can be saved as a separate game. | 68% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Braintwisters (Stainless) | One or two players may take part in the game. In the two player version, each player has their own secret number to guess. | 80% | |
![]() | Oric 48K | Dracula's Revenge (Softek) | One of the better games around for the Oric and should certainly find favour with the games player - providing he is not frightened of the dark. | 88% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | EDG Graphics Package (Salamander) | One of the better drawing utilities available for the BBC... Could have benefitted from a 'Help' command which showed you the action of the commands. | 75% | |
![]() | Acorn Electron | Robin Of Sherwood: The Touchstones Of Rhiannon (Adventure International) | One of the best adventures to have come my way for a while. | 50% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Hampstead (Melbourne House) | One of the best adventures I have played. | 97% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Confrontation (Lothlorien) | One of a series of two-player strategy games... The instructions reminded me of the typical rules for a board game. | 56% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K/128K | Quest for The Holy Joystick (Delta 4) | One big 'in' joke at the software industry... A market is assured with the staff of Melbourne House, Automata and Dream, though north of Watford sales could be a little thin! | 77% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Raider of The Cursed Mine (Arcade) | Once you've got the hang of it, the game drags on interminably, because the difficulty remains the same. | 58% | |
![]() | Commodore Vic 20 | Harvester (Pixel Productions) | Once you remember, look up, work out or are told the solution, the game is of no further interest. | 55% | |
![]() | BBC/Electron | Hi-Q-Quiz (Blue Ribbon) | Once I'd got the hang of it, I quite enjoyed it. | 50% | |
![]() | Oric 48K/Atmos | Invaders (Arcadia) | On-screen instructions are good and unstuffy, the game is fully crash-proofed and well-presented. | 83% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Castle Assault (MRM) | On the whole, whilst Castle Assault doesn't have a lot wrong with it, it's not exciting enough to make an impact on the software charts. | 75% | |
![]() | Dragon 32/64 | Physics 1 (Nwbc) | On the whole, the questions are quite well designed. | 65% |
