Machine | Review Of | Quote | Score | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Acorn Electron | Citadel (Superior) | Game of the year, for me. | 100% | ||
Sinclair ZX81 | Galaxians (Quicksilva) | Galaxians can be played very fast - too fast for me, especially when the number swooping was set high. | 66% | ||
Acorn Electron | Galaforce (Superior/Acornsoft) | Galaforce is a game to get the adrenaline flowing... It should carry a government health warning! | 90% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Galactic Jailbreak (Apocalypse) | Galactic Jailbreak is interesting, but below the standard set by some other Spectrum games. | 50% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Mad Martha (Mikro-Gen) | Funny, genuinely original, and the graphics are great... Just a shame they vanish when the text appears. | 50% | ||
Spectrum 16K | The Train Game (Microsphere) | Fun, fun, fun to play. | 89% | ||
Spectrum 16K/48K | I'm In Shock (Artic Computing) | Fun to play for a while... I doubt the game's lasting appeal; it can become monotonous. | 55% | ||
BBC Model B | Fun Games (BBCSoft/BBC Publications) | Fun Games is very good value at £10 for four great games which take advantage of the speed of BBC Basic and the sound and graphics of the machine. | 65% | ||
TI99/4A | Pilot (Apex Software) | Fun and very addictive at the start... Later on, however, the program did become a bit boring. | 90% | ||
TI99/4A | Grail Quest (Stainless) | Frustrating... and heightened by the slow response of the keyboard/joystick. | 65% | ||
Spectrum 48K/128K | McKensie (Software Projects) | From the same stable as Manic Miner, but not of the same class: it is outstanding only in its mediocrity. | 47% | ||
Oric 48K/Atmos | Pasta Blasta (Arcadia) | From simple fun to cut-throat competition, Pasta Blasta should fill your needs, if not your stomach, quite nicely. | 89% | ||
Acorn Electron | Frak! (Aardvark) | One of the classics on the BBC Micro... and destined to be one of the classics on the Electron. | 100% | ||
Commodore 64 | Supermind/Diamond Code (Challenger) | Four levels of play... Good use is made of the graphical qualities of the C64. | 49% | ||
Commodore Vic 20 | Laser Zone (Llamasoft) | For this game, you need a good joystick and, like the adverts say, dedication! | 83% | ||
BBC/Electron | Repton (Superior/Blue Ribbon) | For the hardened games player Repton may prove a little too easy but, for those of us mere mortals, the game provides an exciting challenge with a good balance between reward and failure. | 80% | ||
Oric 48K | Airline (Cases Computer Simulations) | For the business student, there is little that might be learnt by playing this game; for those with little business knowledge, then the game will just confuse and frustrate. | 43% | ||
Spectrum 16K/48K | Sys 64 (Artic Computing) | For new Basic programs it gives a useful, added flexibility of presentation. | 73% | ||
BBC/Electron | 3D Pool (Firebird) | For my part, I'm enjoying the results of Orlando's ability, practising my trick shots and trying to win the knock-out competition. | 80% | ||
Oric 48K/Atmos | Mined Out (Quicksilva) | For more thoughtful players, it should provide some hours of diversion. | 84% |
