---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() | TI99/4A | Firelady Plus Snakes And Ladders (Unknown) | Both games make good, colourful use of graphics, and are aimed squarely at the younger users. | 74% | |
![]() | Commodore Vic 20 | Starquest/Encounter (Pixel Productions) | Both games are fairly un-substantial and you can't re-run Encounter. Being second on the tape, it's also a nuisance to reload it. | 33% | |
![]() | Acorn Electron | Bonecruncher (Superior/Acornsoft) | Bonecruncher will delight game players of all ages - another sure-fire hit. | 90% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Blockade Runner (Thorn EMI) | Blockade Runner is addictive and fun - you won't easily tire of it. | 85% | |
![]() | Acorn Electron | Blagger (Alligata) | Blagger proved a game which lasted the course, immediately attractive and entertaining, a difficult enough challenge to hold interest and fun to watch. | 80% | |
![]() | Sinclair ZX81 | Black Crystal (Carnell) | Black Crystal impresses by its sheer quantity and generally high quality of presentation. | 83% | |
![]() | BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Bismarck: Death Of A Battleship (BBCSoft/BBC Publications) | Bismarck is a definite must for those of you who like wargames, but I also think that quite a few others will be pleasantly surprised at this fascinating game. | 90% | |
![]() | Acorn Electron | Birdstrike (Firebird) | Bird Strike is initially unimpressive but it grows on you. | 80% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Billy Bluebottle (Power) | Billy Bluebottle represents a difficult, but uninteresting, challenge. | 55% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K | Speed Duel (DK Tronics) | Beware the accelerator... I think it has been borrowed from Concorde. | 93% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K | Millypede (Add-On Electronics) | Better versions of Centipede exist... I suggest you try the others before buying this one. | 59% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Psytraxx (The Edge) | Better than the average game in this class. | 94% | |
![]() | BBC/Electron | Phantom Combat Simulator (Doctorsoft) | Better than I expected and well worth the money, whether you are a computer flier or an RAF pilot of the future. | 60% | |
![]() | Oric 48K/Atmos | Story Book (Softbacks) | Better than a lot of the supposedly educational software available for the Oric today. | 84% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Optimon (Optima) | Beginners will find this ideal for a few months but experienced machine code writers will be frustrated by its location and lack of certain facilities. | 85% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K | Cruising On Broadway (Solar Soft) | Beginners tend to last only a few seconds... However, with practice, it will keep people happy or frustrated for many hours. | 45% | |
![]() | Dragon 32 | Jet Set Willy (Software Projects) | Beg, steal, borrow, do anything but get enough money for this game... you will never regret it. | 90% | |
![]() | Sinclair ZX81 | Asteroids (Micro-Gen) | Because you can't actually avoid any of the asteroids, the skill content of the game is drastically reduced. | 56% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Exterminator (Silver Soft) | Because everything was happening so fast, and the graphics were so tiny, I could hardly make out what was what, and if I took time to look I got killed by something. | 75% | |
![]() | Sinclair ZX81 | Computerized Diet (Softchoice) | Because dieting is such a personal, sometimes very serious business, I can neither recommend nor condemn this program. | 79% |
