![]() | Spectrum 48K | Frog Shooter (Kuma Computers) | Might be acceptable as a magazine listing, but as commercial software - forget it. | 35% | |
![]() | Dragon 32 | Devil's Triangle (Abacus) | Might appeal to the under-tens, but for the rest of us will probably disappear into the Software Triangle, destiny of all unexceptional games. | 48% | |

![]() | Commodore Vic 20 | The Wizard And The Princess (Melbourne House) | Melbourne House is clearly aware of the great marketing potential of adventure games at present, but competition is stiff and standards higher than this. | 69% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Quetzalcoatl (Virgin Games) | Mazes are presented as 3D perspective views of long corridors, with doors set in the walls... Drawn at high speed. | 93% |
