---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() | BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Superior Soccer (Superior/Acornsoft) | No longer can the relegated manager blame lady luck for his downfall. By stepping out on to the pitch with his lads he has nobody to blame but himself. | 80% | |
![]() | Dragon 32/64 | Space Race (Compusense) | No loading problems, and comprehensive instructions are included. | 70% | |
![]() | BBC/Electron | Millionaire (Incentive) | No doubt this game will appeal to some people but personally I wouldn't choose to play it more than once, and would get more pleasure with a greater chance of earning a million from the newspaper's bingo. | 50% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | High Noon (Ocean) | Nicely executed with good graphics and sound effects. | 90% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | Knightmare (Romik) | Nice one, Romik! When you're really stuck, there's even a helpline to phone. | 94% | |
![]() | BBC/Electron | Squeakaliser (Bug Byte) | Nice music, and a nice little game that deserves to sell well at this price. | 70% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Mummy! Mummy! (Lothlorien) | Nice graphics... The controls are relatively easy, although I may not have the hang of reading cartouches - nothing happens. | 85% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Jungle Adventure (Cases Computer Simulations) | Nice graphics but impossible time for memorising, when necessary, to note positions of animals you have objects for, to increase your score. | 79% | |
![]() | Dragon 32 | Pi Mania (Automata) | Nice gimmicks - shame about the game. | 60% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K | Gun Law (Vortex) | Next time you mosey on down to the software store, give Gun Law a spin. | 60% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Sinbad (Virgin Games) | Neither the energy nor score is shown on the screen... Sinbad cannot be highly recommended. | 65% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | Cuthbert Enters The Tombs Of Doom (Microdeal) | Negotiating a room once might not be enough, you may have to go back more than once to pick up more keys. | 94% | |
![]() | Oric 16K | Operation Gremlin (Wintersoft) | Needs careful thought... Makes a pleasant change and offers the chance to exercise your brain as well as fingers. | 78% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Cells and Serpents (Argus Press) | Neat coloured displays... The delays are just a trifle long, and the combat oversimplified. | 53% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | The German Master Level A (Kosmos) | Nearly £20 is a lot for the two data file sets and the loader. | 82% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Mission ZX (IC Software) | My two sons, aged nine and twelve, and several of their friends were happily and quietly entertained for a whole afternoon with Mission ZX. | 76% | |
![]() | BBC/Electron | The Hacker (Firebird) | My overall verdict: Dull and uninspiring. | 20% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K/48K | Toolkit (IMS Software) | My old debugged and reliable test program did the most amazing things... A block delete on four lines vanished the whole program! | 38% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K | Ball By Ball (Video Software) | My love for cricket borders on fanaticism but I could not whip up any enthusiasm for this version. | 55% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K | Monsters In Hell (Softek) | My biggest grouse is that I just wasn't fast enough. | 93% |
