Machine | Review Of | Quote | Score | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() | Dragon 32 | Viking (Dragon Data) | It absorbed me for one or two plays but lacked the humour, complexity or other features that some simulations have. | 40% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Scope (Interactive Software People) | ISP considers publication of programs using Scope or licences for their use. Even nicer if sprites were included but, nevertheless, very useful. | 90% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | The Bag Bounder/Food Of The Gods (Stainless) | Irritating and ultimately boring. | 55% | |
Acorn Electron | Microvalue 2 (Tynesoft) | Ironing out the creases before they left the Tynesoft unit again could have been most worthwhile. | 54% | ||
![]() | TI99/4A | Kamikaze (Stainless) | Invaders from outer space is hardly the most original theme, but if you still have the appetite for this you'll find it fun. | 78% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K | Cyber Rats (Silversoft) | Interesting, but unmemorable graphics and lacking addictive qualities. | 59% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Espionage (Modular Resources) | Interesting, but not as enthralling as I had expected. Overpriced, too. | 65% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Clever Clogs: Whizz Quiz (Computer Tutor) | Instructions throughout were reasonable, but only parents with time will find this program useful. | 84% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Number Painter (A.S.K.) | Instructions are first class... The cassette is packaged in a strong box. | 86% | |
![]() | BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Ingrid's Back (Level 9 Computing) | Ingrid's Back is another of those adventures that I can gladly recommend to beginners and experienced players alike. | 90% | |
![]() | BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Infinity (White Panther) | Infinity is a competent arcade/adventure game that scores highly on the adventure front. | 80% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | River Rescue (Thorn EMI) | Incredibly fast and furious, but there is no skill level adjustment, which I rate as a disadvantage. | 70% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Cashcalc (Wizard Supersoft) | Income items are entered as negative numbers, and expenditure items as positive numbers, which feels odd but saves a lot of keying. | 40% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K | Jungle Trouble (Durell) | Includes four speeds of play, a running score and a hall of fame. | 84% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Patscram Mission (Stainless) | Includes an unusual option to practise operating the ship before play starts. | 88% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Hang Glider Pilot (Stainless) | Includes a graphical display of your position on the landscape together with 'instrument' readouts of height, orientation, wind speed and direction. | 68% | |
![]() | Dragon 32 | Super Spy (Richard Shepherd) | In under 90 minutes I had finished the adventure and I cannot see it taking most people any longer. | 34% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Centipoid Plus 3 (Orwin Software) | In today's highly competitive software market, these games represent a very amateurish offering. | 60% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Monster Maths (Shards) | In this program, even Level 1 can give problems like finding 468 from 21, 18 and 12... Fine for adults, but not for the target age group. | 68% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | Bitmania (Virgin Games) | In this day and age, programs like this are just not on... Virgin has done better, so why does it have to push this on to the market? | 22% |
