---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() | Dragon 32 | Doodle Bug (Dragon Data) | It is very easy to become hooked on this game, which should appeal to a wide range of ages and skills. | 75% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Doctor Who And The Warlord (BBCSoft/BBC Publications) | It is the flexibility of language combined with a complex plot that are the strengths of the adventure. | 80% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Angler (Virgin Games) | It is so difficult to catch the fish that you tend to lose interest quickly - a bit like real-life fishing. | 54% | |
![]() | BBC/Electron | Hi-Q-Quiz (Blue Ribbon) | It is simple to play and contains elements that would make it a fairly nice piece of educational software for the young. | 50% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Statix (Psion) | It is perfectly playable, but I can't see too much lasting interest. | 65% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Cholo (Firebird) | It is original, it is brilliant, it is indispensible. | 80% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Map Rally (Acornsoft/BES) | It is not acceptable as an educational program as the child is learning a concept which then has to be unlearned later. | 50% | |
BBC Model B | Maniac Mower (Kansas City Systems) | It is extremely poor, undeserving of a release by any software company, a perfect rip off at four quid and likely to dissuade any purchaser of it from buying from Kansas again. | 29% | ||
![]() | BBC/Electron | Condition Red (Blue Ribbon) | It is easy to forget when playing this game that it is in a budget price range, as the appearance is so good. | 70% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | Hunter (Terminal) | It is addictive because it becomes more difficult slowly, so you think next time you'll be able to go a little bit further. | 66% | |
![]() | Acorn Electron | Constellation (Superior) | It is a tape well worth purchasing. | 95% | |
![]() | Dragon 32 | Jigsaw (Vidipix) | It is a shame that I have to write such a scathing review as the programing is really rather good at points, but I'm afraid Vidipix need a new designer, preferably one who knows something about market demand. | 10% | |
![]() | BBC/Electron | Uranians (Bug Byte) | It is a sad reflection on any game when the most enjoyable part is when you get crisped. | 40% | |
![]() | BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Quest (Superior/Acornsoft) | It has the polished graphics of a first rate arcade game and the frustration factor of a top class adventure. What more can I say? | 90% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Snowball (Level 9 Computing) | It has taken nine months to perfect this masterpiece and I envisage taking a similar length of time to complete it. | 90% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K | Gold Mine (DK Tronics) | It has reasonable but not spectacular graphics. | 79% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Wordgame (Scientific) | It has a 1,000-word vocabulary. However, sometimes the choice throws up stupid questions. | 70% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K/48K | Ed-On (Add-On Electronics) | It does my ego good to beat the computer at something... and this game ensures this doesn't happen very often. | 68% | |
![]() | Dragon 32 | Dragon Golf (Gem) | It could appeal to golfing enthusiasts, but not a game that had lasting appeal for me. | 54% | |
![]() | Acorn Electron | The Adventure Creator (Incentive) | It certainly isn't a poor relation of its stablemate, The Graphic Adventure Creator, as precious memory is not taken up by irrelevant pictures, which means more text for your masterpiece. | 90% |
